This is Christmas/new year o, not good Friday

Shegzdave:
Guyyy😂😂
Chillax it’s still new year

Na why I put that last paragraph bro...

daveP:
Baba wan force the click
If Olmo come, he will drop this Merino to bench. If o. Lol

It's not clicking sotey Partey is doing more attacking work than those two in front of him and he's still defending.

We all mentioned Nwaneri as an option for that RW. He played him there today and you dey complain of makeshift.

Do you even know if Rice is fit? Of course not.

It is well with you my brother

No Rice in starting lineup. Another player struggling with a niggle.
Nwaneri at RW will be interesting. Looking forward to how he links up with his mentor.

You see say me I no kukuma answer am.

For once, he should prove us wrong here eh

Should I apologise for overlooking the 2006 WC and making reference to the most recent WC.

England had got to the quarter final of the 2006 world cup before Ronaldo's Portugal knocked them out.

The Idea that at that time 2006 the presence of WAGS contributed to England not winning the world cup is a nonsensical proposition without any substance whatsoever.

In this regard my view remains the same whether it was the World 🌎 cup 2006 and or the most recent WC.

Consequently,no apologies.

In the meantime Happy ☺️ Blessed 👼🏿 Fulfilled New year 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣

Different years, same komekn.

Happy new year brother

Happy new year guys

Fkforyou:
Quick one guys.

White vs Timber vs Tomiyasu.

Who owns the right back spot for the next 2 seasons.?

Timber.

He is the most complete of the three.

komekn:
You are picking out players who are unproven but showing potential and are just starting their careers.

I would have picked out Tim lroegbunam and Chukwuemka Carney at Everton and Chelsea respectively. Both exceptional player's in the premier league but Tim restricted by injury but recovering and Carney by senior international top players ahead of him at Chelsea.

What do you think ❓

I would rather take two boys from Beyond Limit rather than cap these carpenters you mentioned here.

komekn:
That's emotive nonsense, England was hampered by very poor team see selection and Southgate unwilling to drop his favourites.

He took a left back Luke Shaw unfit recovering from injury why had no barely played all season. A lethargic and slow Kane never really substitutef and left Watkins and Toney on the bench.

In 2006?

Jodera, I hope you are alright bro?

Shegzdave:

That dude dey play like person wey we suppose terminate his contract

You sef see am... the way the guy dey frustrate Arteta ehn..no wonder we are linked to two left wingers.

'We scammed Arsenal for Omari Hutchinson'

The precocious kid nack em better backflip yesterday, e sweet my belle

Shegzdave:
Make him no renew?😂😂

He should. Afterall, man has gotta chop.

Everybody is renewing contract, Martinelli sef wan renew.
Well, he will be a good back up or come handy anytime we want to play Liverpool.

With recent link to Antonio Nusa and Omar Marmoush, he might just sit tight now or find his way.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has fined the Libyan Football Federation (LFF) $50,000 and ordered the country to play two matches behind closed doors.

In a statement on Sunday, CAF charged Libya with “misconduct” during and after the 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualification game against the Benin Republic in Tripoli on November 18.

Too lenient. wetin do 2 years ban from all football activities?

Baba read the post I responded to, nothing he wrote is contextually similar to what you wrote here. I have my opinion on journalists visiting the Super Eagles camp but that wasn't what he wrote about. He particularly mentioned Cubana Chief Priest and Carter Efe who I believe have never visited a super Eagles camp before. This was a commentary on their life outside of camp hence my objections.

The whole talk was about life inside camp and not outside as you said here. Maybe you should follow the trail.

lovewins:
I don't think this is fair sha. Footballers are humans and they have a right to have a life outside of football. As long as said activities doesn't deter their primary assignment.

I don't fancy the guys you mentioned neither do I agree with their projected lifestyles. What I won't do however is use that as a model for other persons to fit into. Footballers clubbing and partying isn't new, it's been there since time immemorial. JJ, Kanu, Martins etc did same and mingled with the socialites during their time, the difference now is social media giving visibility to something that was hitherto not very exposed.

As for the init boys, the fact that they don't mingle with those in Nigeria is simply because they aren't familiar with them. A vast majority of these guys go clubbing and have folks in the mold of Cubana in London they also mingle with. Ola Aina has featured on multiple podcast and have very recently started something similar. Like I said, as long as it doesn't affect their primary assignment, they are entitled to a life outside football and we don't necessarily have to agree with those decisions as long as it isn't illegal.

Please understand the context. Nobody said they shouldn't socialize. At least I've seen Saka attend a BB game.

What we're talking about here is the way content creators trooped into the camp during international break conducting ridiculous interviews and contents which is not supposed to be so.

My own personal ideology is when you get to work, you work

All of them should be banned from visiting the camp. Let the players focus.

It is ok if you don't want to answer. I understand.

DaveP, do you think city's current form is connected to Haaland's poor goalscoring run?

Nwaneri this, Martinelli that...

Arteta: Hello Porto, send back Agent Vieira.

If you're the emotional type, don't raise your hope during this transfer window.

John Bakayoko. Get him on loan abeg..at least till Saka is back.

germaphobe:
I think with more training and matches together, Martinelli can be linking well with Odegaard on that right wing, but it will surely be something different with Saka being there.

I think Nwaneri will do better at RW. I was surprised he didn't play him yesterday.

Shegzdave:
You see that strength, e get am well

Brooo.. be like the guy dey chop stone.
And the way he turns eh, Cryuff go dey bow (abeg na joke o 😂😂)

I've said it, Martinelli's biggest strength is his pace not all these dribblings and passings.
Unfortunately, Ipswich dey fear to attack which mean little space for us at the final third.

BlueRayDick:
This Skelly boy sabi play LB pass Kiwior by far ! 🙅‍♂️

And way stronger than Kiwior. He is low-key an agbero too...

Dem swear for this people make dem no dey shoot or cross?

daveP:
This one pass Hierarchy stuff. If na hierarchy why is he so overusing and makeshifting till he is convinced it is not working. That's one strong reason i said na Black and white. He didn't apply during emergency. He rather makeshift till he got super tired of it all. I understand managing the youngies, but make he sef dey gbera. Abi na hierarchy wey dey gba he wan stick too? Productivity over hierarchy. To me he's insulted Partey with that RB experiment.


Overall, im glad his adaptation>>>>>Pep

Na just rodri and see how everywhere scatter. Even KDB is back, yet....

So who would you have played at RB? Calafiori, White, Tomi, Zinchenko we're all injured. Timber was not even half-fit. Please, tell me what you would have done better if you were the coach.

daveP:
The sad fact is that it is indeed that black and white. Not playing him when Òde was injured trashes that 1st rule. Suddenly, Ode returned and he began to give him minutes, all pointing to the fact that he has finally realized and was doing the right thing at a late time.

Having learnt that lesson, he's now trying to make up with Skelly. Rem Skelly was available since last season.


Anyways, he should be faster in learning lessons. We all need that curve for him.

There is nothing I dislike more than using unfounded facts and logics in football argument. How do you come up with all these sef?
na wa o

Shegzdave:
Martinelli is a case but Doku is off abeg

Like bro... Just dance and dance on the wing only to pass the ball backward

BlueRayDick:
We just need to win today's game with substantial Goal Difference and get our season back on track once and for all.

I suspect Arteta may want to start Jesus in Saka's position owing to Jesus' recent form versus Crystal Palace in both legs.

It also appears Lewis-Skelly may have broken into the starting 11 if Calafiori continues to be absent. Maybe Arteta doesn't really hate young players like we want to believe in the past, maybe he just wanted to give them chance only when they are ready

I think Havertz should just come from the bench. Martinelli at RW and Jesus up top. Both Gabriel have a deep connection and should be able to rotate effortlessly.

Calafiori trained yesterday so he should be able to play today. Might come in as a substitute.

As for the last paragraph, the fans are just being impatient. They wanted him to throw the kids into the field just like that. Simply because other teams are doing so and not because it will help the team. As of now, Dowman and a certain Annous are training with the team. By the time they get their chance (depending on how the training goes), they would have properly blended in.
