Fahrenheit10:
it is a very weak league but it may get better if Madrid open their own female club next season

The problem is that Barcelona has strengthened beyond the Spanish League. Atletico used to beat them all the time and they have not won the league in years, but they have bought world class players from all over Europe in the last two years and they are now one of the 4 best teams in Europe.

They've gotten Kheira Hamraoui from Lyon, the 2017 FIFA and UEFA best player, Lieke Martens from Rosengaard, they bought Wolfsburg star (and one of the best wingers in the world) Caroline Graham Hansen (who punished Nigeria at the World Cup), Africa's best player Asisat Oshoala and they bought back their former player, Jenni Hermoso (who has won the highest goal scorer award many times) from Atletico.


Their main target is the Champions League and their investment has worked to an extent because they were in the finals of last year's Champions League and are in the quarter finals of this year's competition.

Real Madrid has already bought over Tacon and they've invested more than a million pounds to bring in new players, but it will take quite some time for them to match the investment that Barca has made in the past 2 years.

arsenal female team are far ahead of Barcelona women you can Google it and stop showing your ignorance abeg

PopeFlatino:
Remember that word I mentioned "Presently"
Maybe u no see am,,Barca played the final last season for d UCL and are in d quarters still with arsenal this year.

Statistically in their domestic leagues,Barca is better and has more goal per game ratio..Two many world class players including a former world best and d record breaking African best.then two league top scorers

Tell me what Arsenal got to match this except Miedema?

Barcelona also beat Arsenal in a pre-season game in London and Oshoala scored twice in that game.


Barcelona currently also have the two joint second highest goal scorers in Europe.

Barca has really built for the Champions League.

They have former Lyon star, Kheira Hamraoui, former Wolfsburg star Caroline Graham Hansen, Jenni is back from Atletico Madrid, they have former FIFA player of the year, Lieke Martens and of course they have Asisat Oshoala.

Even Atletico Madrid, that beat Barcelona many times in the past and are the defending champions, cannot compete with Barcelona this season.

And Asisat is now the joint highest goal scorer in Spain and has won the African player of the year for a 4th time. If that's not world class and top league performance, then I don't know what is.

Asisat Oshoala is the highest goal scorer for FC Barcelona Femeni in all competitions this season.

Pernille Harder of Wolfsburg is the highest goal scorer in the big European leagues with 21 goals, while Jenni and Oshoala (second picture) are joint second with 20 goals each.

Someone is asking if Oshoala can take Dembele's place on the male team and whether the regulations will allow it.

Seems that female Spanish league is btw Barcelona and others

Even Atletico Madrid, that beat Barcelona many times in the past and are the defending champions, cannot compete with Barcelona this season.

Barca has really built for the Champions League.

They have former Lyon star, Kheira Hamraoui, former Wolfsburg star Caroline Graham Hansen, Jenni is back from Atletico Madrid, they have former FIFA player of the year, Lieke Martens and of course they have Asisat Oshoala.

More reactions

Some Spanish fans were pleading that Oshoala should stop scoring when she scored her second goal. That's because Jenni Hermoso was the highest goal scorer with 20 goals, while Oshoala had 19 goals at that time. Jenni and Oshoala are not only competing for the Pichichi (highest goal scorer in the Spanish League), but they are also competing with Pernille Harder of Wolfsburg for the title of the highest goal scorer in all the major women's leagues in Europe.

The tweet in the last screenshot is complaining that Barca has too many world class players. There are Caroline Graham Hansen and Lieke Martens on the flanks, Asisat Oshoala and Jenni Hermoso up front and Alexia on the wings.

Oshoala scored a brace two weeks ago, scored another brace last week and has scored a hat-trick today.

Logroño 0-6 Barça Women: A super six!
Marta, Alexia and Oshoala were on target for the blaugranes in a big away win

02:00PM SATURDAY 22 FEB

Barça earned their 18th La Liga victory of the season after comfortably beating Logroño at Las Gaunas. Mariona, Martens, Hamraoui with a powerful shot, Oshoala, Van der Gragt and Jenni Hermoso all went close in the early stages of this match, but it wasn't until the 32nd minute before Marta opened the scoring.


Alexia joins the party

Just two minutes later, Alexia made it two, before adding another just before the break, her 10th goal in the league and 15th in all competitions. In the second half, Oshoala helped herself to a well-taken hat-trick, meaning the Nigerian now has 20 for the campaign, level with Jenni Hermoso. The win sees the blaugranes remain unbeaten at the top of the table with 56 points.

Their next match is on Wednesday 26 February against Deportivo Abanca, in the quarterfinals of the Copa de la Reina (7.00pm CET).

This was the intro to the very popular Bala Miller Show.

wel-come every-body!

Well, this time he didn't sing wel-come every-body. Instead, he sang, "Ha-ppy view-ing to you".

The Bala Miller Show intro (1983).

Art Alade was a very popular Nigerian musician and television personality. He was the host of the very popular Bar Beach Show on Nigerian television in the 1970s and he was also the host of the Art Alade Show in the early 1980s.

Modupe Afolabi Jemi-Alade, popularly known as Art Alade, was born in 1932. He attended the CMS Grammar School in Lagos and, as he said in this interview, "I was a dullard and my father thought that I could be saved if I was sent abroad". He went to England in 1956 and attended Devon Technical College and London School of Television Production in the U.K.. Alade began his career as a musician on a cruise line, the Greek Line. He also played in a number of clubs in London. By 1964, on his return from U.K., he joined the staff of Nigerian Television Service, now known as NTA. He became the director of programmes at the NTA in 1978 and then he retired in 1979. Art Alade also owned a nightclub called Art's Place.

The Bar Beach Show was a variety show that featured interview with entertainment stars, musical performances, etc. The Art Alade Show was very similar, but it was shown around 9 or 10am on Sundays. I remember getting home and the whole house was filled with the aroma of good food (breakfast would already have been ready) and watching the Art Alade Show while eating breakfast.

Art Alade's son, Darey Art Alade, is also a famous musician.


The Bala Miller Show was also a variety show and it was shown at 8pm on the NTA from c1983-c1986. It was produced at NTA Kaduna. Bala Miller was also a popular musician who had hits in the 1970s. He was a director of the Costain Club in Kaduna.

This is an interview with Art Alade on the Bala Miller Show and then he performed his version of the Victor Olaiya song, Baby Jowo. His version is called Sisi Jowo and the performance was simply amazing.

Viking07:
I don't understand. The Leaving On A Jet Plane that I know and still have on my phone is by John Denver. This one sounds like a song recorded in 700 B.C. Is John not the original owner?

John Denver wrote the song when he was a member of the group, Peter, Mary and John and it was a hit for the group. He later did a solo version when he left the group. Many people (including Liza Minelli) have covered the song. Sonia Spence's version is also a cover version.
