ander herrera gets first spain call up.


at least something wey our under_de_canopy pundit no see, Spain manager don see am.

An average Player gets invited to the almighty Spanish Team?! Seems the Coach is high on a serious Weed to have penned Herrera's Name for Invitation?!

In Elampiro's Voice; The new Coach of La Roja no know Ball!

“He is a great personality and a great guy as well. When you see how fit he is then you see what kind of a professional he is and I think he is an example for me and a lot of players."


- Daley Blind

"He trains every day at his best, trying to get everyone at their highest level. He doesn’t lose one training session.

"He is very, very aggressive and demanding but in a good way because every day he wants to win every training session and he wants everyone with him to win to keep working so we are very lucky to have Zlatan with us.

"If you saw a game and you didn’t know Zlatan's age you could think he was only 28 or 29 and that is good for us.

"He's an example for every one of us. I am not young, not old, I’m in the middle and he is an example for me as well. When you behave as a professional you can still be at a top club at 35.

"You see the way Zlatan behaves. The way he trains even before the training session, he is always stretching, taking care of his body, so that is the way a professional player has to behave."


- Ander Herrera

It's Ander...Same face,that guy no dey old ni?

Can someone identify the Kid in the below Picture?!
He was a Captain at tender age - meaning he's talented since childhood!

Why no one is talking about other giant Clubs across the Europe that either threw away 2 Points or all the 3 points?!

Why is everyone so concerned about United?!

MY FRIEND TO COMMENT IS NOT BY FORCE,OR DID YOU BUY YOUR M.B ON CREDIT?

That's what Nairaland has become. No one really cares about the importance of a Post, rather who to attack who first!

Everyone is doing this silly act to get Likes and shares! Hope you didn't quote me to get Likes and Shares?!

Brother it's high time our leaders begin to think Nigerian. The Nigerian project must be carried out by Nigerians if we will have any shot at succeeding.

This illegal refineries need to be harnessed. This is the reason the western are breaking barriers. Smart guys into illegal stuffs are put to good use for the greater good of the nation. We can't keep depending on western nations to solve our basic problems.

Can you imagine American government destroying illegal refineries built by Americans when America depends on other nations for refined products? We need to start thinking for ourselves.

If it's the issue of oil theft, the Shell and Mobil of this world steal our crude on a daily basis and we have never complained. We applaud the international oil organizations stealing our oil while we are prepared to wage war against our brothers for the same crime.

Wow!
I'm so much impressed with your input. Your Point is issue-based, and this is so encouraging and worth emulating. Enough of name callings and abusive words on Nairaland. If you ain't satisfied with someone's comment or post, no need to be abusive and confrontational, rather counter the comment or post reasonably and responsibly as the Poster did with my comment.

I think I'm fully convinced and subscribed to your point of View. The foreign Companies are indeed stealing our Crude Oil and we are unable to do anything. I implore the FG to offer them Amnesty, train them, and eventually use them for local refineries.

You can't ever expect them to welcome this kind of news as a good Development.

Instead of them to appreciate the FG and the Nigeria Military, they would be Chest-beating up and down!

Meanwhile..... Kudos to NAF and the Nigeria Military. Every patriotic Nigerian is appreciating your bravery and sacrifices to ensure a peaceful Country!

If you are surprised, or couldn't believe the reason Heartland FC failed to perform in the NPFL just concluded Season, check the attached Images and channel your grievances to the appropriate Quarters.

Aston Villa sacked Di Matteo earlier Today.....Swansea City follows - simply by replacing their Manager (Francesco Guidolin) with former USA Boss, Bob Bradley!

Who is next?!

omoyowa:
D southwest teams are they not part of the game...
I have not heard of any afonjas team making waves in Nigerian league..
it is only SE and SS team...from eyimba to ranger to river united to Ifeanyi uba to elkanem...
can someone explain?

I think you need to explain the bold part, cos I do not know El-Kanemi is an Igbo Language hence the Club is from either SE or SS!

When 3SC was representing, where is Enyimba, Ifeanyi Uba FC and Rivers United?! Let me briefly enlighten you Kid..... Gabros was bought and the Name changed to Ifeanyi Uba FC. Can you mention how many Trophies won by Gabros?! Rivers United is an amalgamation of Sharks and Dolphins respectively, do I need to inform you the reason for the Amalgamation?! It's simply because one of the Clubs was disgraced and ousted from the Nigeria Premier League!

Enyimba came into spotlight in the 20th Century Lad! Hence it's far below the success Shooting Stars of Ibadan - the Oluyole Warriors - have recorded as far as domestic League and Competitions are concerned!

Meanwhile I won't let your tribal bigotry to disrupt this Thread...... a big Congratulation to Rangers! It's a Victory well deserved. I hope they represent Nigeria well in the next Africa Champions League!

Modified: I do not have the appetite to engage any of you quoting me! I have nothing to gain in doing that! I was correcting a tribal Bigot, yet some of you are jumping at my Comment without reading and digesting it fully. Didn't I congratulate the League Winner?! You think I'm hating the Success of SE and SS in the Football Industry?! I'm ain't like you Folks, thus stop wasting your MB on my comment!

"I never criticise my players for missing chances. Their goalkeeper is the Man of the Match and deservedly so. We had some open chances where we could do better but I am never critical of my players for this. I can be critical of the attitude, with the quality of performance and for naive mistakes sometimes, but not in front of goal.

"He needs that (on Martial). It was an amazing goal. Very good initiative and very confident. So it was good from an individual point of view for him."

SMALLING ENJOYING PARTNERSHIP WITH BAILLY

Chris Smalling believes his centre-back partnership with Eric Bailly will get "stronger and stronger" following an encouraging start at the heart of Manchester United's defence.

Smalling missed the start of the season because of a slight injury and a one-match suspension, which meant he only made his first start against Feyenoord on 15 September. However, since then, the England international has been a constant presence in Jose Mourinho's team alongside summer signing Bailly.

Speaking to MUTV last week, ahead of the 1-1 draw with Stoke City, Smalling assessed his flourishing alliance with the Ivorian recruit. “The more games we play together, the more we’re getting used to one another,” Chris said. “As defenders we need to be vocal and he’s getting a lot stronger at that, with his English really improving. He’s very physically imposing as well and really easy to play alongside.

“We’ve got certain calls and certain words which he, and any foreign player that comes in, can understand, no matter if his English is advanced or not,” Chris continued. “It’s about developing that, and the more games we get together I think we’ll get stronger and stronger.”

Since making his debut for the club against Leicester City in the Community Shield, Bailly has endeared himself to the United faithful with a number of combative displays. His performances have even led to a comparison with another colossal Reds defender in the form of club legend Nemanja Vidic.

“Nemanja was one of those defenders who was very aggressive, very dominant and took no nonsense,” Smalling told MUTV. “Eric plays the same way. He can go through a tackle and he doesn’t take risks. If it needs to go, it goes! You can see the similarities there and I expect Eric to have many good years here.”

Hi everyone,

As I’m writing this I’m feeling angry because the team played really well but we didn’t win. We drew against Stoke, as you know, and I feel that we were very close to getting the third win in eight days. It was a pity, that’s the truth. My perception from the pitch was that we were playing a good game, creating chances, passing the ball effectively, but we couldn’t complete our job. We have to take the positive aspects and know that if we keep playing like this, we will definitely get good results.

After a bad week with several defeats we did what we had to do: stand up and keep working hard to change that. We got to the next round in the EFL Cup, had a solid win against Leicester and defeated Zorya with work and experience. Against Stoke, the team was full of confidence and we wanted to keep the good streak going. We did it in terms of football and the way we played, but not in the score.

We went for the victory from the beginning, we were better than Stoke and we felt that Old Trafford was supporting our effort. In the first half, we were very close to getting a goal several times. We have to give credit to Stoke goalkeeper Lee Grant for his great performance. In the second half we finally opened the score with a very nice goal from Anthony Martial, but in the last few minutes they took advantage of a good play to tie the game. We gave everything until the end but we were unable to get those three points that were so important and that (with all due respect to our rival) I think we deserved.

With only one point instead of three we are not in the best mood to take the international break, but we are aware that, at our level, everything is possible this season. We have five games in October that are very important and we will give our best to make it a good month. Manchester United has always had challenges and the one we have this season is still there.

Many times in sports you must learn to accept those games when, even if you do many things well, you don’t win. That is football, and that’s why it’s such a nice and exciting sport.

Have a nice week!

Hugs,

Juan

Hurray!!!


Zlatan is 35 Years Old Today!!!

bykebyke:
Only two post that I post means I was all over?

But you quoted to troll me nah! Let me arrange serving Plates!

DJ!!!!!
Kindly play me - Ale yi a Bad by MayD!

After seeing Madrid drew their Match, they jubilated, Party all Day, hoping to claim the first Spot on the Log after tonight Match!


But.....but........bur......they are simply relegated to the 4th Position. Where are the new Signings - ain't they Barca Materials?!
No Messi, no Barca - Messilona!!!

Visiting this Thread for this first time..... just to read the reactions of bykebyke. The Dude was all over the United Fan this Afternoon.

Kingsley1000:
my brother we don't buy it,we only download it online

You deserve a BAN for the above comment, I swear!

LMAO!!!

Seem FA wants Arsene Wenger to end his Reign as Arsenal Manager with a Trophy?!

Is the Ref blind to see that clear handball?! PDP has resuscitated..... but in the form of Arsenal!

I can smile now!
Welcome to Premier League - Mr. Pep Guardiola!!!

Unlike us that deserved to win, Man City honorably deserve no point!

BEST PERFORMANCE YET
"It's simple - the best Manchester United performance of the season. It could have been 3-0 or 4-0 at half-time and six or seven at the end of the game. I can't believe the result is 1-1. It was very undeserved. I repeat - it was a much better performance than against Leicester because the result made more than the performance and today was exactly the opposite."

CHANCES SPURNED
"In the first half, minute one, an amazing chance with amazing football, then a few minutes later another one with Paul Pogba facing the keeper. We had three or four in the first half, we had three or four in the second half. We hit the bar. We did everything. We played good football. We touched the ball, we moved, we created so much. It was a really good performance, a performance to win by a comfortable score and, in the end, we lose two points."

GREAT GRANT
"In the first minute, the goalkeeper makes an incredible save. He did it the whole game. We had chances in both halves. A fair argument can not be different than mine."

FAILURE TO KILL STOKE OFF
"The danger is there but we had chances to score the second goal. If we score and then we give them the ball, and then we go to our box and we come a little bit, we are gambling. We were not gambling. We were just going to kill the game, which we felt we could, and we should. They were very lucky, we were very unlucky, and that's football."

15-DAY WAIT UNTIL LIVERPOOL
"It's frustrating because the result is not good, it's frustrating because we don't have a game in three or four days to play again, it's frustrating because we don't have the players to work with, but that's football and I think everybody is frustrated but we have to be happy with the quality of our performance. I think the fans are disappointed with the result but the reaction also shows that it was an afternoon where they know we did everything."

eph12:
Why you wasting your time on somebody that's obviously trolling you?

I'm off the Thread till the trolling is over!

Diademk07:
Which sitters? The way you dey call am be like say we created plenty of sitters!

I could only remember Pogba and Ibra chances in the first half, others were half chances!

Ain't they Sitters?! At least it's more than one!

kokaneprodigy:
U talking like the blunder was a back pass, Pogba was beaten before the shot was aimed at De Gea who couldn't clear it outta danger. The ball was played a second time bouncing off the bar to an oncoming Stoke player, who finished it well.

How's that for not seeing the match.
Oga swallow ur D with pride.

You called that Shît a Shot?! Remove the O letter in the Word jhoor!

Nihilist:
How many points does the FA award to goal scoring chances?

E be like say Old Trafford rules dey different to normal football

Kinda exhausted! Enjoy your trolling!

eph12:
I never said Herrera is not good. I love the guy in our team and want him to play. But I hate it when Fellaini is blamed for other people uselessness. Simple. If Fellaini is benched fine but don't blame him if he plays and our attack breaks down before it starts by those that should be attacking.

With Herrera on the Pitch, the fluidity of the Team is superb! And had Ibra, Pogba and Lingard converted the begging Chances, this Excuse wouldn't have come up!

Nihilist:
There was about half a billion pounds worth of talent in red shirts today, and you're still looking for luck?

If they combine thr bank balance of all the indegenes and inhabitants of Stoke City, I doubt they have up to 500m pounds.

Did the Team play well?! Did they create Goal-scoring chances?!

kokaneprodigy:
Oga cover ur face in shame, Stoke got a draw at Old Trafford after going a goal down, against a team with world record signing.
You need to see where Stoke is on the table perhaps u'll put on ur thinking cap.

Did you see the Match at all?! It's obvious we controlled the Match, and we ought to have killed it in the first Half. They drew us because of DeGea's Blunder, not because they deserved it.

Nihilist:
You mean despite having the world's most expensive footballer in your ranks, you're still relying on goodluck like Diezani?

It's about the Team, not about an Individual! The unlucky one here isn't Pogba, rather the Team!

Why there are many Haterz on the Thread now?!
Seem You Guys still wanna hold a Party?!
