pelumiakinboye: I want to believe I am not the only one thinking about this. With series of bad result especially that of Manchester City (6-0) and that of Liverpool (0-5) on their home ground (White Hart Lane).

Even Edger Davies confess that he enjoy watching Everton compare to Tottenham Under Villa Boas.

This Comment by the former Tottenham Player kept me wondering if Villa Boas Job is safe. Pls Have Your say.

He left Porto too early

He is right!!!

isale_gan2: Because he plays for Chelsea? It's unfortunate that anyone would rate Mikel higher than Enyeama. That's just ridiculous outdated hype, no offense.

Well the creame always rise to the top

You might not rate Mikel, but in world football Mikel is rated higher than Enyeama in all ways!!

enigma_otr: It's just enough that we did all we could against the apartheid regime, declared a 3 day mourning and held a service for Mandela. I do not think there would be any serious implication if the President had sent a delegate to the memorial.
I believe Mr President has more important things to attend to.

Look what looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck is probably a duck.

Let's call a spade a spade, this is what we get when we have fools as leaders. What did the international community say to GEJ when he gave the crook who sneaked out of the UK wearing a burka a national pardon! They said they were very disappointed in our government and leader, but the looney president acted as if they were blowing hot air.

A first lady closing the road because she has a hairdressers appointment, the bulletproof cars, mismanagement of funds at an alarming rate, James Ibori's birthday while in prison, all this is shown on CNN. Many more incident that our leaders acting as if they have no one to answer to. But hey the international community have spoken and its loud enough for those who have ears to listen

mrs bin gbagbo: Ghana is better than naija

And grrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnggggg The Alarm bell rings!!!!

Time to wake up

CFCfan: Enyeama has scored a staggering 19 goals for the professional clubs he has played for.

He scored 1 goal for Ibom Stars, 10 goals for Enyimba, and 8 goals for Hapoel Tel Aviv.

By contrast, Mikel has only scored 4 goals in club football.

Enyeama took the penalties

Good luck to my Ghanaian brothers

Any address I could send my Prayer book to

Theben: 35 years old Chelsea legend Didier Drogba was still a toddler the last time Ghana lifted the AFCON trophy. #fact

I heard that the back pass rule hasn't come in place the last time Ghana won AFCON

Mageret Thatcher was still the UK PM

Jerry RAwliNgs was the head of state of Ghana the lats time

striker9: When was the last time Essien had an assist?

I heard that Essien is helping the kit man ironing Mikel jersey

Dannyxy: this post stinks of sexism, you don't do that.. Safari i no dey defend you, me and you get beef

I guess thats the only way to get to her, she's such a hypocrite, its ok for to barge in on a conversation between baby-boy and marutimon!

Am sorry but thats the only way you treat someone who cant argue without mud slinging

safarigirl: my friend stop jumping at my posts and let babyboy decide if I offended him or not, are you his attorney? Like I said, there is no 'REQUIREMENT' there is a difference between 'requirement' and 'preference'. Mourinho is a stickler for certain things and Abramovich has more money than many EPL clubs. You can't tell me a club like Fulham will spend the same as Chelsea when they have a cheaper option.

Dont you have someone to cook for?

safarigirl: Eyah, he's not on the list of nominees, who else?

He didnt ask who is on the list

safarigirl: bros you're not talking to kids, how can you say the EPL has a height requirement? Even if na aki be goalie, a good keeper can be in the EPL, so whether Enyeama is 5'11 (his actual height) or 5 ft.4" is inconsequential.

The last time I checked you were not the person who asked the question, and its a know fact Managers will think long and hard before going for a keeper standing at 5'11.

What was the first thing Jose Mourinho did at Chelsea? he dropped the fans favourite Carlo Cudicini for Cech am not say its a requirement but managers pay attention to details its like having a centre half under 6ft.

The Shortest keeper in the PL stands at 6.1 or 6.2

marutimon: What the? He's 189 cm, big and strong. How tall do you need to be?

He is (182cm) 1.82 (5:11) practically your saying he is 6ft 2.3 inc which is so wrong

Simonet: Enyeama I think has just about surpassed Dodo Mayana (Peter Rufai) to become Nigeria's most accomplished Goalie Ever.

He has won the CAF Champions League and the Nation's Cup, aside being voted best Player in Israeli League in 2009.

Ref: https://www.nairaland.com/275368/enyeama-wins-israeli-player-year

Its hard to judge but I will still have Rufai over Enyeama

thegoodjoehunt: First of all, the stats shows 69%. Secondly I said British, not English. So in your list there, the Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland also counts for the British. There is no way there will be more foreigners than British.

Who told you Ireland is British?

When FIFA had the 3 Foreign rule in the 90's Scotland, Wales and Northern Island were regarded as foreigners

[quote author=Jarus]Which team was Africa's best at the world cup

1, Cameroun in Italia 90

The ref screwed them with 2 Gary Linekar dives, they got red cards for fun. it was the strongest team out of Africa

2, Nigeria in USA 94

Naivety cost us a chance in the Q/Final, Equavon trying to dribble at the edge of the penalty which led to Italy levelling the tie


3, Nigeria in France 98

We did the hard bit, to do the easy bit thats when we messed up but not a strong team but a more exciting team to watch than 1994


4, Senegal in Korea/Japan 2002

Turkey was just too smart for them in the Q/f


5, Ghana in SA2010

Anxiety killed them, Gyan was celebrating even before he took the penalty thats when you need a leader

thegoodjoehunt: Please which year did Man Utd go trophyless. Please remind me the year. Well i also asked for World player of the year not pfa. You keep bringing dagbo voting to support your claim. Please which year was Man Utd trophyless under Fergie and Nistelrooy. I hope Nistelrooy didn't win the gopden boot. Bale won nothing. Just like Yaya in this case.

88.7% are foreign players

thegoodjoehunt: Brazil made one of its best appearances in the Copa America and Ronaldhino was in that squad.

thegoodjoehunt: Do you think I didn't know what I was asiing when I mention naming a World ppayer of the year without a trophy? The PFA voting has always been biased. Do you thini an English man will gladly vote a foreigner? When Van Persie won the PFA, he won the golden boot. What did Bale win to be best player? I repeat, it was biased. Van Persie was clearly the best, even you know it.

Van Nistelrooy won the PFA player of the year and he won NOTHING, that punches an hole into your argument

thegoodjoehunt: The ratio of British men to foreigners is abiut 70% for British and 30% for all the foreigners. Yet you expect no bias in voting.

Are you saying Bale was a better player than Van Persie last year?

Are U serious? theirs more non uk players in the EPL than UK players unless you are watching a different league

thegoodjoehunt: Do you think I didn't know what I was asiing when I mention naming a [b]World ppayer of the year without a trophy? [/b]The PFA voting has always been biased. Do you thini an English man will gladly vote a foreigner? When Van Persie won the PFA, he won the golden boot. What did Bale win to be best player? I repeat, it was biased. Van Persie was clearly the best, even you know it.

Ronaldinho 2004

thegoodjoehunt: Frank Rijkaard was replaced in 2008, not 2009. By '09, Guardiola favoured Busquets over Yaya.

And when did Yaya join Barca

thegoodjoehunt: Let us face facts. Suarez had a wonderful season but his biting of Ivanovic and him not clinching a trophy or a champions league spot or the golden boot puts him out of it. Bale didn't score up to 20 goals and didn't even qualify for the Champions league or FA Cup or Carling cup finals clearly puts him out of it.

Van Persie was the key to Man Utd success. Some board members were axed because Mancini made a report stating that Van Persie will decide the next epl winner depending on who gets him and they didn't listening. His goals secured the title for Man Utd and he won the golden boot. How Bale was the winner remains a mystery.[b] Clearly a sentimentally biased voting.[/b]

Voted by fellow team mates, whats sentimental about it?

abatically: Let me guess, u know more than all those people that voted Gareth bale as the epl player of the year just because bale didn't win a trophy. Even Luis Suarez was better than van persie last season. Trophy don't mean everything.

Exactly

The last 3 PFA winners

Gareth Bale
Van Persea
Gareth Bale

WON NOTHING... and they were voted by fellow professionals,

thegoodjoehunt: I am talking of in selection. Busquets came first in selection before Yaya. Don't worry about Barca. I followed them. From Edmilson, to Marquez ti Guily to Sylvinho and Belletti. Guardiola changed things and Busquets was favoured over Yaya. In '09, Yaya wasn't the holding midfielder of Barca.

I beg to differ Busquet was still an academy player which frank hardly used Am not disputing who Guardiola favoured

thegoodjoehunt: The truth is that Yaya wasn't the holding midfielder of the '09 Barca team. Yaya came after Busquets, that is why Yaya coild be sent to ppay as a Center Back.

Did you just say Yaya came after Busquet?

Yaya Toure was bought to replace José Edmílson Gomes Moraes (known as Edmilson) by Ridjkaard...

Actually go and check the stats Yaya was moved back into defence when injury and suspension took its toll against Marques, Puyol and Pique. Busquet was on the bench unti they moved Yaya further back

thegoodjoehunt: [b]It is a yearly performance award, not life achievement. Mikel was the best performing player at the Nations cup, check out his side and he was part of the European Europa conquering Chelsea team. Yaya won nothing.[/b]

It is a yearly performance award, and the Nations cup was for only a month and the award is not for player of the tournament its meant for 12 months whether he won something or not.

Sucn: The guy did a documentary on a fellow Yoruba boy who was jailed for murder in Britain. What is the big deal?
On a second thought, when will Yorubas stop killing in Britain and soiling the image of other Nigerians?

Compared to those who threw a birthday party for James Ibori while he is in prison?
