They are against Tottenham next. That is where they know they have lost the league. Hopefully we win portsmouth and we will be 8points ahead. With arsenal at the emirates, liverpool at anfield and Chelsea at the BRIDGE. They've lost nine points already.

wetin do una own keeper?

I do not have a problem with understanding that summer signings might sometimes be a move to replacing aging player over time ut not by spending £60m.

When you spend such money, you don't use the players as understudy.

We did not lose valuable points to liverpool. Have you forgotten Liverpool is a contender?

You guys still have Liverpool to play at Anfield. We have taken a point off them. What will you guys do when you go there?

If we had lost to them then we would have lost 1 point not three.

Players mean different things to different teams. Losing John terry and Petr Cech does not mean we do not score. It means we concede goals and at crucial moments last season which lost vital home points. That's what losing those players could do. ANd do not complain about losing ronaldo and rooney because you are indirectly telling us your summer spending is a waste.

Chelsea no be mate?
We will determine that by May 2008.
For now, the league is as open as HELL.
Anybody can nick points off ANYONE until UNITED Chronicles come back from Injury/Suspension.
Its been a HORRIBLE weekend for the BIG 4 so everyone can go back to their tablets and sort out their issues.
United has got quality . . . . . The only problem is SCORING.
SAHA, SOLSKJAER, ROONEY, RONALDO . . . . . any TEAM in the world would miss them if they are not playing.
CHELSEA had everyone playing today and they should have lost . . . . .THANX to ROB STYLES and MALOUDA.

Words of consolation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because I stay in london does not mean i should not know how to comport myself publicly. Using words like Bleep, Arrow and cunt on a public forum is absolutely disgraceful. No matter what you think.

I remember when we were talking about Cech and Terry being injured. You had your words. Why are you now complaining about losing important players?

Mukina what happened to lehman?

Who is talking about malouda? I am talking about you calling me a Arrow because of football.

You are talking about five points difference in august when you are sure to lose against tottenham next week. Lets see if you will win. Your problem is not chelsea, your problem is all other little teams you fail to score against.

Jackal:
As a matter of fact, we have 2 points.
5 points difference in August is hardly what u can gloat about.
United was leading Chelsea with 6 points in JANUARY last season and Mourinho believed he could still win.
5 points in AUGUST . . . .and u are screaming? YOU ARE PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MALOUDA has picked up where ROBBEN left.
The gay dived and got a penalty . . . . Its hard to believe.
ROB STYLES is a Arrow like NATEEVS.

Why in the world would you use such language? because we differ in the sides we follow. I consider that very shameful of you.

Jackal:
Who gives a Bleep what u are watching?
60 minutes gone and CHELSEA is yet to record 1 GOAL on TARGET.
Pennant, Gerrard and EL NINO are taking CHELSEA apart by all means.

Hey cool down,  You don't have to release the anguish of losing to a second string side on me. 90 minutes passed and you guys had all the shots on target and you could not score a goal against sides with players that will never play for man U.

Jackal:
CHELSEA is being taken apart here.
This Liverpool looks STRONG if they keep playing like this.
GERRARD is making MOURINHO sweat.

R we watching the same match?

Jackal:
MAN UNITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good display, Nice inter-change but u just COULDNT find the NET.
We shall live to fight another day.
Crisis? What Crisis?
United will be back . . . . . . . . . .


Damn, we need to get SAHA fit ASAP.
What the Bleep is going on here?
This is becoming a complete FUCKERY.
ITS THE WORST START FOR MAN UTD IN 15 YEARS.

United will be back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope. You guys are playing Tottenham next. Start Planning. Maybe another loss.

I hear you guys biting your your nails and saying I can't beleive this.

7 mins more

You guys need two goals now, I mean right now to stay in the premiership race.

You still think it is getting embarrasing. Is it not yet?

This NANI I know no wetin the guy dey play. Fergie don vex comot am.

gooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

good point somze

I don't know what's up with Alex. Our defense is what I am afraid about. I must confess those guys having a knife edge attack.

Somze,

Do you know I always find it hard to make predictions when it comes to the liverpool matches? Somehow I never get it right. I only hope that every player will be at their best.

somze,

Yes ooo

Let's meet on the other end.

abi ooo my brother.

Debosky,

I did not mean she is a genius. Of course it was just a sacarstic expression of what a mess she made of herself trying to impress.

You stun me. How come you put such grammar together in a single post? You must be a genius.

However you still haven't answered the question about england. I'm waiting

Bros & Sisters, weather u all like it or not, this is a welcome development.
To answer some of the question on naira re-domination.
1. some say there will be pricing confusion - Certainly not, if you were born before 1985 or if you started spending the the naira before 1985 u would understand that there will be no confusion. When the naira was devalued Nigerians adjusted, Nigerians are smart i tell u.
2.Exchange rate- The exchange rate is not being pegged!!! it is still dsame as while we used the old naira, it a matter of putting on a new shirt for an old one, nothing changes please nairaland landers its simple. While there will be no added purchasing power immediately, overtime the purchasing power of the naira will improve. Did i hear you ask how?? ok, right now Nigerians are not consious of the future, we buy what we need and don't need and let tomorrow take care of its self. when u know that 625naira is 500USD i m sure u would want to think twice before u spend. And by the time we all get consious of wht we spend and stop spending on things we can really do wit out, that will certainly bring about drastic price fall.
Those of you who live overseas understand wht i m saying, u don't buy a car because' u re living in the UK, because u know u don't need it and its expensive to fuel to u go on local transport, yes some would say they have a better system when it comes to transportation, but ours will only get better. We have gotten to a level in the country where things have gotten to the bottom and there is no worse it can get, rather than for things to gradually pick up.
People will return to the farms, city life wuld no longer be the in thing, for every profession, there will be value. Robbery will certain reduce!!! because if u have a small business u might want to think twice than take the risk. Corruption wit police will reduce, will the police ask u to bribe them wit 1naira when they are so used to 20 naira?? can u bribe police 20 naira when u know its almost 16usd. Its for the better!!! I m glad nigeria is taking a new turn.
Employment opportunities wont readily change, it will be gradual but you can all help yourself. Self employment will go a long way. Hair dressers, barbers, caterers will no longer have to cry over small income. if u take 10naira home a day. that day will need to be celebrated because at the end of the month u would have 300 naira which will be good.

If you are thinking of where to invest your money before August 1 2008, i would simply advise u to go for landed properties. Property owners will have a swell time.
Also self employment is another way to go, If u have 50,000 today, the ultimate would be to go to the village and get your own land in preparation for farming because' farmers would no doubt have a swell time too. We are blessed wit rain in Nigeria and our land are fertile. I have lived oversea and i know wht i m talking about.
Less i forget, there will be drastic drop wit the youths queening at embassies for visa and time will be money. I am sure u wouldnt want the embassies to steal your 100naira because u now know the value. Day dreaming will stop and hard work will begin.

Lets clap for soludo and Y'aradua i always knew the a Northern President will be the one to deliver Nigeria, i 'm from the south south!! going by history. I m sure Obasanjo surpressed Soludo's plan.

I don't understand how redenomination will cause all this you are talking about. 5,000naira' present worth will now be N50's future worth. Which means if you were earning N100,000 you will, by 1st august, 2008 earn N1,000 but what N1,000 will buy then is what N100,000 can by now. It doesn't make anything cheaper, more expensive or lucrative.


And for you saying there won't be pricing confusion, please tell me, by 08/2008 what will be the stock quote of a company that is 65kobo assuming the the quote stays the same between now and then.

To say that there will be pricing confusion is a massive understatement.

[quote author=simply_me link=topic=72368.msg1406713#msg1406713 date=1187459704]u have forgotten that Nigerians are nin compoops, argumentative, daft, unbeleiving and outright stupid?

In the developed countries, policies and lawas are enacted and the citizens simply obey without battling an eyelid, but in Nigeria - thats when u will see all sorts of argumnets and nonsense talks and opinions - what u call empty barells - isint it?[/quote]How do you talk like this about your own people? This is horrendous. Did you hear about protesters against the expansion of Heathrow Airport in the UK? Is England not a developed country? Why are people not just taking it and accepting?

How exaclty does redomination of the naira allow for more borrowing and more foreign investments? I don't understand.

watchung:
A lot of dumb people dey this board sha. Even upon the explanation of what re-denomination means them still dey confused. Some people are actually thinking that the value of their money will drop from N50000 to 500. One of them is even questioning anothers' math skill when they should be questioning their own reading and comprehension skills first.

For goodness sake redenomination doesn't mean that your N50000 will now be worth what N500 currently is. All it means is that new currency will released and henceforth if you currently have N100, that N100 would now be exchanged for a NEW NAIRA NOTE @ a rate of 1 new naira to 100 old naira. That means for example goods now worth N40000 will now cost 400 "New Naira" and yes u will might not see or notice an immediate change to your purchasing power, however in the long run it is hoped that the new policy will curb inflation, reduce capital flight, make the Naira convertible with other world currencies as well as reducing the amount of money people have to carry around. This will also allow more foreign money to come into the banks, which means more money for people to borrow to make investments and improve the economy.

I just can't believe that some on this forum can't comprehend/understand that simple fact before they start making stupid posts.

It is not respectful for you to call someone dumb on a public forum. As well as using words like stupid posts.

If you read very well, you would have seen that "For goodness sake redenomination doesn't mean that your N50000 will now be worth what N500 currently is". is a blunder by you. The guy was clearly stated 50,000 now and then 500 with the date 1st August 2008 on it.
