Politics › Re: Sahara Reporters Interviews Fashola, Watch Video by mbulela: 3:51pm On Nov 22, 2010
what did you expect Fashola to say?
Yes, Tinubu is actually in charge of the state and i am only his puppet.
Yes ABC is owned by Tinubu and i am helpless in redressing the inflated fees they are paid.
h
Let us stop being childish.until there is solid proof of these accusations, they will remain rumours and accusations.
Why must i believe Sahara against Fashola in the face of a lack of proofs and evidences?
The Sahara guy did not help his cause by sounding so amateurish and crude.
He sounded like he had a personal problem with Fashola prior to the interview.
The BBC bit was cringe worthy.

Fashola might not be as innocent as he wants us to believe until he addresses the issue of the court cases that were instituted to stop the probes against him.

You all just exhibited your mediocrity and less than average mentality in soccer. you spend all the time watching epl and yet cannot simply point out that there is so much razz fuelled by the english press and sheepishly followed by com-poops like y'all.

With all the hype and all the english players playing in the epl, yet they constantly crumble on the big stage. the last referee-aided-mundial silverware was in 1966(your parents were not even married as at then).

When the likes of ''backside''nal and ''Chealski'' thrash Everton and Wigan by such huge margin, it gets applauded; a solid Barca side achieves such feat, all we hear is whinnings from frustrated epl watchers, your hypocritical stands are disgusting, and besides who begged you to watch? you can as well hang yourselves on the nearest high tension cable, who cares undecided

Spanish league is where the shizzle is, and is evidenced by the current stand of Spain in fifa and eufa competitions. Facts cannot be disproved.
Guy, no need for the insults.It does not make you sound more intelligent.
Truth is most if not all leagues' competitiveness in Europe are exaggerated for obvious reasons.
la liga is no more competitive than the Scottish premier league. for rangers and celtic, insert barca and Real.
The technical quality of players in la liga is way above that of the EPL (most english players can barely trap a ball and pass to a teammate even with a gun to their heads) but it is my measured view that the EPL is presently more competitive than la liga and it will remain so until the tv revenue mess is redressed.

i will stick to the facts you have raised in your post, so as not to reopen popular arguments on this board.
If you want to do a DL program in the UK, i would recommend MBS (Manchester Business School).
a bit more expensive than most DL programs but well worth the price.
However, you made no mention of the fees you consider affordable?

Reference:
This is precisely where leadership, vision and purpose can get you. From one man Clemens enabled through the maze of the glass house red tape by this same failed presidency and given a long rope he delivered a soccer culture, a generation of achievers. Today if we can plant these same fruits, nuture them with good admin leadership and give them a similar time frame then in another ten years we would have a hundred world class coaches and probably get a hand on that gold trophy. That is how success is achieved. People only need to love what they do and not necessarily how much money they make out of it.

And by the way if we then have a hundred world class coaches like England or Italy who will care what the likes of Rossi, Gerrard or Okocha are doing. It is because we lack so much that we want him to help. I for one cannot command the knowledge and clout he has. IMHO the business he has identified with is like a doctor driving past a hit and run, typically Nigerian. Our God given talents, our wealth, our priviledges are meant for service whether we are Bill Gates or Samson Siasia. Let us love what we do and seek pleasure others in the process. That is life. That is legacy.
and how is Jay Jay not fulfilling the bold part of your argument in his present ventures?
After all, he also tried to get into NFA before the Adamu boys struck as usual.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Chelsea Name Michael Emenalo As Wilkins' Successor As Assistant Coach by mbulela(op): 6:50pm On Nov 20, 2010
Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has revealed he had no input in Michael Emenalo's promotion to assistant first-team coach, and he does not want the Nigerian to actually work with the team.



Revealing some of the tensions at the club in the wake of Ray Wilkins' shock departure last week, Ancelotti made clear that both decisions were made over his head, leaving him uneasy.

"I am not here to explain how I feel at the moment, because it is not the right moment,'' he said in the Daily Telegraph. "I'm professional, I will continue to work. I want to stay focused on my team. The club made this decision (to promote Emenalo) after the decision on Ray. But nothing has changed, for me. Emenalo has been working with me before.

"He started when I came here last year. He was the opposition scout and was supporting me. He's not been involved in the training, and won't be, because (first-team coach) Paul Clement has been and will remain doing that. But nothing changes. It was not my decision, but he is working with me for a year and a half anyway.''

In announcing Emenalo's promotion, a Chelsea statement had said Emenalo "will continue to oversee the first team scouting operation as he makes the transition to coaching'' as he needed to gain additional qualifications. But Ancelotti's comments suggest he does not want any such transition to take place.

When pressed on the matter, Ancelotti reiterated: "He won't be involved in the training sessions.''

However, Emenalo will sit on the bench for matches, starting on Saturday at Birmingham City.

"Your bail application is denied," Magistrate Hein Louw said.

He stated that evidence given by Okah when he took the stand failed to convince the court that he was not the leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND).

"The most damning evidence is that in a letter written in her handwriting the applicant's wife refers to him as being the leader of MEND," Louw said.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Red Devils' Zone! by mbulela: 9:19am On Nov 19, 2010
Manchester United have provisionally agreed a £3.5m deal to replace Edwin van der Sar with a goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has flatly described as not good enough to play for the club.

Anders Lindegaard, the newly established Danish international, will move to Old Trafford in January but Schmeichel thinks Sir Alex Ferguson is making a serious error bringing in the 26-year-old from the Norwegian club Aalesunds FK.

"I don't believe it for a minute," Schmeichel replied in an interview last week in which he championed Liverpool's José Reina as the right man to take over from Van der Sar if, as expected, the Dutchman retires at the end of the season.

Schmeichel, widely recognised as the greatest goalkeeper in United's history, was asked whether his compatriot Lindegaard was of sufficient quality to play for England's biggest club. "No," he replied. "We are talking about Manchester United here. You can look at talent, you can look at young good players, [but] you don't want that, you want someone who can go in straight away and give performances in 80% of the games that the number one choice goalkeeper will play for Manchester United.

"Too many goalkeepers have been through, in and out of the doors at Manchester United, and the general perception is, for this team to play well and win trophies, that position has to be [filled by] someone who is of the very, very highest quality but also the right experience."

Lindegaard, a boyhood United fan who has cited Schmeichel as his hero, had a distinctly ordinary career until signing for Aalesunds last year, initially on loan. He was so impressive he was offered a three-year deal and his form since then has enabled him to replace Thomas Sorensen in the Denmark team, winning four caps.
It was first reported United's interest on 4 October after the club's goalkeeping coach, Eric Steele, travelled to Norway to watch him for a fifth time. Steele has reported to Ferguson that Lindegaard would be a reliable candidate to fill the gap left by Van der Sar, and is particularly commanding in the air, at 6ft 4in.

The Aalesunds chief executive, Henrik Hoff, and the chairman, Bjarne Haagensen, flew into England today to close the deal and the talks are said to be at an advanced stage. Jim Solbakken, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's agent, has been mediating between the clubs and Ferguson has decided it is worth the gamble despite Lindegaard barely being on his radar during six years at his previous club, Odense. Lindegaard was largely second or third choice in that time and, ironically, his decision to look for new employers was based partly on the club signing the former United goalkeeper Roy Carroll.

United's need for at least one new goalkeeper has become a priority for Ferguson, with Ben Foster sold to Birmingham City in the summer and the manager never being fully convinced by Tomasz Kuszczak, who is expected to leave. The club have high hopes for the 20-year-old Ben Amos but believe he is far from ready for a run in the first team.

Lindegaard has been told he will initially be cover for Van der Sar but will then get the opportunity to establish himself as United's number one. That depends on when Van der Sar plans to retire – the Dutchman says he will make a decision in the new year – and whether Ferguson thinks he needs to bring in another goalkeeper.

David De Gea, the Spain Under-21 international, has also come to the attention of United after his impressive performances for Atlético Madrid in La Liga, and Ferguson took Steele on a spying mission earlier this season to watch him play against Valencia.

De Gea would be far more expensive than Lindegaard, whose low valuation will appeal to United's owners. It is possible that United would consider buying both De Gea and Lindegaard. Manuel Neuer, the Germany international, has also been discussed but Schalke 04 would want a considerable transfer fee.

Reina last week denied reports that he wanted a transfer and, if Ferguson did want to sign the Spaniard, any attempt to arrange a deal with Liverpool would be fraught with difficulties because of the relationship between the rival clubs.

omi tutu:
What does Michael Carrick have to do to get some respect. Granted he has a bit of downside, but he is a very capable midfielder who can control a game with the best of them.

Capello needs to get his head out of his arse and make Carrick a permanent fixture. Gareth Barry is nowhere near good enough as Carrick.
is that a joke?

btw he is not as bad as Barry.

The man has perfected the 'science' of lieing

all we want is/are midfielder/s not some unknown soldiers

what do you think of that boi Henderson? tho ill prefer a european to start mashalling the heart of our midfield whenever Scholes pave way for a new recruit
when he says good morning, i actually check the clock to be sure.
The painful thing is that he lies without blinking.
but na baba, sha.

Henderson is 20 and from Sunderland youth team.
I think he still has a few more years to be able to take over from Scholes immediately.
I think it would be good to compare him to Cleverely at present.
we need a VDV type midfielder.
one that is old and experienced enough while still in his mid or late 20's.

I hear Kusckak is leaving at the end of the season.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Chelsea Name Michael Emenalo As Wilkins' Successor As Assistant Coach by mbulela(op): 8:21pm On Nov 18, 2010
Michael Emenalo has been appointed Chelsea's assistant first-team coach following the departure of Ray Wilkins last week. Emenalo had been working as head opposition scout for the club since October 2007 but will now make the transition to coaching.

Chelsea confirmed the move on their official website: "Chelsea Football Club are pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Emenalo to the position of assistant first-team coach. He moves up from his previous position of head opposition scout.

"Michael has been an important part of the first-team management structure since he arrived in October 2007, and his promotion to assistant first-team coach is recognition of his efforts to date.

"Michael will continue to oversee the first-team scouting operation as he makes the transition to coaching. He will split the initial period between assisting first-team coach Carlo Ancelotti and updating his coaching qualifications as he takes on this bigger and more influential role."

Emenalo, a former Nigeria international, was brought to the club by the former manager Avram Grant and, along with the first-team coach Paul Clement, was among the favourites to replace Wilkins as Chelsea looked to appoint from within.

"Michael Emenalo is doing a fantastic job as head opposition scout and he is already working very close to me," Ancelotti said.

Emenalo, 42, was a defender during his playing days and became known to Grant during their time at Maccabi Tel Aviv. In 1986 he moved to the US, where he graduated from Boston University three years later with a degree in international relations with political sciences, having also played college soccer.

He also played in Belgium and Germany before winning the Anglo-Italian Cup with Notts County. He won 14 caps for Nigeria and played in the 1994 World Cup in the US.

Chelsea are still waiting to learn when John Terry will be available again. The captain is understood to have seen a chiropractor in Italy yesterday to try to solve a troublesome nerve problem in his right leg.

Terry has been left in agony by the injury, which has been managed during the season with a series of injections. The club hope he might be fit for the game with Newcastle on November 28.

Chelsea are relatively unconcerned by Alex's selection as a substitute for Brazil against Argentina last night. The defender, who is likely to be out for up to eight weeks with a knee injury, did not play.

Alex missed Chelsea's games against Fulham and Sunderland due to his injury but joined his national side for the game in Qatar. He was due to return to the club's training ground at Cobham today for more treatment. It is likely he will undergo further investigation via arthroscopic surgery

Now he is castigating muslims.
Why not ask your church members to be circumspect and only vote for people who do not dine and sleep with the same barbarians that have ruined and are still ruining this country?
Why not ask your church folks to vote for only men and women who have proven accountable in the past and live within their means?
Why not ask your church folks to vote for only men sand women who can detail their plan to solve the numerous problems that bedevil this country?
Why not ask your church folks to seek candidates who meet these criteria without looking through the prism of religion and ethnicity?

I am a christian brother but men and women like Paul Adefarasin on account of such statements shame the cross of Jesus Christ and make a mockery of the church.

PDP as a party have a duty to sanction their members who steal the people's votes and it is down to the leaders of PDP to initiate that process and the last time I checked Jonathan is the party leader. It does not have to be a unilateral action by the President, but instead of endorsing Uduaghan for re-election may be the President of Nigeria should have done more to express regret that a court of law has just indicted a party he leads of stealing the people's mandate.

Also for the records, stealing the people's mandate is more of a criminal offense than falsely attacking your political opponent.
