Skintite:
Buyin ready made players n winnin trophies is not great coachin

erm,
how will you describe Capello, Ancelotti, Benitez, Beckenbauer, Hiddink, Ottmar Hitzfeld. They are not great coaches?

Do note, I'm not arguing if Wenger is a great coach or not. I'm just wondering about you sidelining the fellows above.

They are from Lagos.

That's a surprise. As far as I know the woman Yetunde Price is their half-sister from an earlier marriage/relationship the Williams mother had. I seriously doubt their mother is from Lagos, but I do not know how she got the name "Yetunde". I suspect she probably heard it, liked it and named her daughter that. Or maybe her father is Nigerian.

benching makelele is goin to be the downfall of chelsea
he is the man behind chelsea's success behind everysuccessfull lampard there is a makelele,

take that from me, and that is a fact, when he was in madrid, he helped madrid, till now, madrid has not found a better 4 than claude.

I still remember Florentino Perez saying he had replaced a player that passes the ball 4 meters with one that passes the ball 40 meters when Spiceboy arrived in Spain. But then Essien might be able to play Maka's role.

According to Jose " He is the most underated footballer last season"

more like the last 5 seasons.

nightrider:
Beckham quoted it as one of the main reasons he left for madrid,

Yeah, like the stuff Ballack has being saying about leaving Bayern. Players will always find a "fan-palatable" excuse to leave when they are ready. Most players don't want to be booed/hated by their former club fans.

Nas05:
You said "Fergies boot on Beckham's head. That shows a lack of respect on tha part of the coach.

erm, It was unintentional, Fergie was annoyed, he kicked a boot and it hit Spiceboy, it was not aimed at him. Why would you want to injure your star player at halftime of a game you are losing when you want to win? Think about that b4 you reply.

Nas05:
As for Bergkamp even I will not support a contract renewal as it will be taking it too far.

Well that shows you Wenger knows when to "dump" players as well. Sentiments have no place in a coach's mind. If you are not needed you will be discarded or benched, regardless of your past. And if you complain about the bench you will be discarded.

Nas05:
A testimonial match has been planned for Bergkamp on the day of the opening of the Brand New Stadium between Arsenal old stars and Ajax old stars.

Do you really want me to start digging for the players who have had testimonials at Old trafford as well?

@Akola,
I don't think Igbo/Cocaine is a sport stimulant. I think these drugs will even work against any athlete especially footballers.
Maradona takes Igbo/Cocaine for social reasons and it has no direct relationship with his abundance of skills.

erm Jacakal you are wrong,
Armando was sent home from USA '94 for ephedrine use. A banned stimulant, used for increasing stamina and endurance.

Badman888:
I would take Maradona, Pele's time there was no offside rule and all those stuff

erm Badman you need to get your facts straight. The offside rule was introduced in 1863. Pele is definitely less than 100 years old.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A733600

As for the question, I refuse to compare, two different positions, two different eras. Diego's was arguably more defensive, but Pele has a scary goal-scoring record and three world cups

Nas05:
I still maintain that Wenger is the best. Look at the "Use and dump" of Fergie.

erm, what happened between Wenger and Viera or Benitez and Owen. Benitez was even ready to sell Gerrard when he was getting drifty feet. The last thing any coach wants is an uncommited player. The moment they feel the player's mind is elsewhere they will dump you. Wenger, Fergie, Mourinho, Ancelotti, Hiddink or Capello will all tell you the same thing. No player is worth it if they are not ready to work for the team.

Let's not forget Giggsy is still at ManU even though he had contract issues. And Wenger also refused to give Dennis the menace more than a 1 year contract. Of course some coaches are more confrontational than others, i.e. Fergie's boot and Beckham's head, but commitment or lack of it is the main reason for unusual sell-offs.

erm, I think we are all under the impression that all these "young" players wil remain at Arsenal. I somehow doubt that. I still remember what happened to the Ajax wonderkids of 94/95. The Juvy defeat was the end of them, great players but they all left to Italy and Spain. If this team has any success continentally, most of those kids will be gone in 2 years. They are definitely not an Arsenal team of the future. I know some people will complain but Arsenal is a place where players move on to bigger clubs from.

BTW, the majority of Nigerians used to be Ajax fans, where are they now?

nightrider:
fabregas nko. it was from barcelona's b team arsene bought him.

I thot Cesc was in the youth team, and was yet to sign a professional contract. Besides why would Barca want to hamper his career if he won't get to play. It's not like Barca had the hole in their midfield that Arsenal had after Viera was sold. I'm sure Barca knew they had a good player, but he was surplus to requirements like Riquelme.

The popular theory it that they both lost the motivation to put in the time and effort necessary to stay in the top ten of the tennis rankings. They both party it up and are involved in fashion design. It seems to me they have both moved on to another phase in their lives. They did not retire but tennis is not the only thing they do.

@Jackal

Ben Iroha, now that's a blast from the past. I will never forget that shoulder charge on Kostadinov by the corner flag at USA '94. Very durable and rugged defender.

Here's mine. I had some extra time to kill, left and right back were very difficult to fill. Everyone's either injured or out of form

@ mochafella
So na who u want, "u no go gree" for Atiku to be presido, then comot yan us who u want make him stand. abi u want IBB? Chris Okotie?
Some of us are not even ashamed of ourselves,we are either advocating for a 3rd term for OBJ or not agreeing to have at least a solid candidate who will beat the President's game. "God no go gree", Bringing God into the picture! The last time i checked, OBJ also said he was waiting for God's answer on third term.

Well apparently, you haven't seen my other posts asking that Obj leaves b4 what happened to Abacha happens to him. I suggest that you do that before calling someoneelse out. IBB and Chris Okotie should not be president either. I would rather we have a revolution and get rid of the golden oldies.

I actually think it's virtually impossible to get rid of. As long as the society in general is racist so will the soccer fans. You can deduct six points and drive the chants underground but it probably will not change the fan.
Besides disparaging fans of opposing teams is common place in soccer stadiums, afterall I doubt you will have a match involving Liverpool and "scouser" will not be mentioned by opposition fans or Dundee fc and "coagie". I bet the Arsenal and Chelsea fans have several for each other. Same with Newcastle and ManU
Its societal prejudices coming to the surface. Keeping it out of the stadiums is possible, but what do you do about the other derogatory terms?
