The talking points...

Two years ago azpekuliar burst on the scene as a NPL newbie, winning the league in his debut season and the FA cup the season after with Multiple Scorgasms...He has had a poor start to the 14/15 season, currently languishing in 26th place with new club AZ*.

Lord AZ** as he is known professionally, will want to put the slow start behind him, as he pushes his squad for a top 10 finish.

Mukina2 aka Reama Reama of Librans FC is also enduring a shaky start to the season. After finishing in 17th place last year, fans of of Librans FC were expecting a solid start to the season, but after GW1 find themselves in 77th place in the NPL.

Ibime aka Tubobereni Waridabo Ebenibo-Douglas of Ipukulu Marines is BACK!!! Back to losing ways that is...

After dropping out of the Nairaland Premier League midway through the season last year due to poor performance, the Ipukulu Marines were controversially allowed to enter the competition this year. Many voiced opposition to letting poor performing Ipukulu Marines into the competition due to a perceived lack of quality, and sadly it seems the critics might be proved right with the Marines currently sat in 53rd place in the NPL

Veteran manager Ibime once closed a 200point gap to claim a top 5 finish in seasons past, but many suspect that he no longer lacks the ability to compete at the top of the game, and is currently 19/18 at raumdeuter bookies to be the 1st managerial casualty of the season.

Stay tuned to Nihilist news for anything NPL.

GameWeek 1 News
A quick recap of last week's action as we go into game week 2.

In the Nairaland Premier League FC Messre stormed into the lead with 90 points, closely follwed in 2nd place by Intelligesia with 86 points.

The manager of Intelligesia, seyi42k, is no stranger to the NPL having claimed 2012 conference cup,and led Samba FC to a Nairaland FA cup semi final spot and 9th place league finish last year.

He's certainly started brightly this year, and judging by his past exploits, he definitely has to credentials to finish around the top of the league

Atosiney, manager of FC Messre hasn't got the illustrious history of his rival for the top spot, finishing last season with a respectable but average 2087 points. Yet his canny choices in the last gameweek cannot be ignored, and if he can replicate these choices on a consistent basis, there is no reason why he can't continue to challenge for top honours.

In third place, we have Avante Garde FC managed by veteran manager Debosky with 74 points with Team Dre and Funshibaba(72 points each) rounding up the top 4

Last years champions Disvirginators managed by the sun of a beach aka ritchboy lurk in 8th place with 70 points, and are widely expected to break into the top 5 as the season progresses.

Over to the FA Cup, where 14 teams registered wins and while 4 ground out draws.
At the top of the table lies Intelligensia, with Avantgarde, MrPresidentXI, and the Disvirginators making up the top 4

In the Carling Cup, Veteran manager Dare Akinyemi sits on top of the pile with Team Dre, closely followed by another veteran Benny De la Hoya in second place with new Nnukwu Mmanwu FC, after being sacked from former club Mmonso Spiritual FC in the summer following a disastrous 32nd place finish last season. De La Hoya will be looking to get back to winning ways in the carling cup this season, and will be one to watch. Rounding up the top 4 are Akarolo FC and Penguins

Finally in the Conference there were 19 wins and no draws with Lemu FC, Swag FC, Big Test Icles, Ijesha Warriors and MourinhoFC in the top 4

mhuyil: Fabregas will surely have the highest Return on Investment. Remember he's not new to the league. I am worried he did not play in advance role I expected.
Sanchez is worth keeping in watchlist for now! He needs time and the price may drop when early lovers are frustrated.
Van Aanholt Watchlist and hopefully when he gets favorable fixtures
Diego Costa! A must have in your team. Favored for Captain band for many fixtures

Do you have to make it so obvious that you visit fantasy football scout?

so many buzzwords in one post...jeez!

Interesting graphic from last week's debutants....can they keep it up this weekend?

https://images.football365.com/14/08/496x259/whoscored-debutant-fabregas_3193533.jpg

I'm trebling on Chelsea's attack this weekend...

I'm also gambling on Steven Fletcher breaching the ManYoo defence.

If LVG insists on playing 3 at the back with no decent right wingback, then I fully expect Adam Johnson to exploit that flank and Fletcher to enjoy decent service as a result

Pataki: Oh oh! You are one of those 'railuuuway' dirt pickers!

Peep the train ticket

Anyway, now you know that most of us here would rather shoot you with their last bullet even when confronted with danger from lion and tiger attacks.

How does that make you feel?

Pataki: Ninny, you posted this gobbledygook at 06:57am?! And you are the same Ninny claiming to have a job on the ManScum thread?

I was already on the Virgin direct train from Northampton to London Euston at 6:42 in the morning...sipping a hot coffee and thinking how nice it would be to feed your body to tigers and lions

Khedira is available for less than 10 million sef.

I'm beginning to suspect that there might be something wrong with the player, because you would assume that he would very easily stroll into the Manyoo and Arsenal 1st teams

So I'm really surprised nobody seems to be that keen on signing him

Bimfo: I will also shoot him twice and Use the Gun's bottom to Smash his head futher more..

O boy...

Your vexation is a terrible thing.

lalaboi: Shoot Pataki twice and feed him to the Lion and Tiger. . .

My thoughts exactly

englishmart: Well, I have a believe those construction managers have a way of stopping rain from falling.

I could recall when I was working at a construction site in Abuja. (world trade centre abuja project)

sometimes we come to work in the morning heavily drenched in rainfall. It will continue falling, but as soon as it's 7.30 (work time) the rain stops/gradually reduces.

More so, whenever there is concrete casting, rain never falls until the concrete sets.

Most times, rain falls only during lunch-break, or closure time.
SMH for Indian people.

This is the 1st time you have told the truth in your entire life.
I always knew you were a bricklayer....

Friday Morning Quiz.

You are trapped in a locked room with a Tiger, a Lion, and Pataki.
The keys to the room are hanging from the ceiling just out of your jumping reach.
You have a gun with only 2 bullets.
What would you do?


I suspect that in such a situation, I would shoot Pataki.

Twice.

Is it just me?

The easiest solution I can think of is time delayed postin

Seun needs to introduce a delay between creation of a new account and posting on a thread for the 1st time.

If users need to wait for a minimum of 1-3 hours after creating a new account before they are able to post anything, it solves the problem of creating accounts to bypass a ban, by enforcing a timeout of a few hours at least for banned offenders.

The only downside to this is that the mods become too powerful. Perhaps, this concept should be limited to the politics section if eventually implemented?

Dhelake: The two would cost like 60-70m, They can't afford that, most especially their wages

If I hear...

Madrid did not register Khedira in ANY competitions this season and both players have put in transfer requests which means that they have waived any loyalty bonuses due, further reducing their cost price...

Reports suggest that Di Maria is being hawked about for around 30 million and Khedira cannot cost more than 10

Dhelake: This is why you are not Mou

Erm, I am not Mou because I was a sperm in an African nutsack a few decades after Mou was born....

Weird thing is, The wantaway Madrid pair are exactly what Arsenal need at the minute.

Sanchez moves central and displaces Giroud, Di Maria and Walcott do their things on the flanks, with Khedira and Ramsey bossing central midfield.

They could actually win the league on the back of these two signings alone...

Dhelake: With Di Maria presently available, I wish Chelsea needs a winger

If I was Mou I would sign him up strata and send Salah to the Egyptian Marines...then sell Willian to Manyoo for 30 million

Win Win Win

Just sTrolling by...

Scholes on Fabregas in tonight's Evening Standard

My prickk stands to attention each time I hear more sad tales from Old Trashford

Sad tales are not enough though, I shall only be truly satisfied when Manyoo is run out of business for good.

AirborneLacer: The idea of scamming Roma doesn't appeal to you abi?

What are you feeling like? A dedicated Christian?

Not at all...

But I know that no chairman under the sun would sanction a cash plus player bid for Torres....So I could not believe that story.
