@ 9jafreak :yes nedum onuoha is very fast, I mean extremely fast, he is one of the fastest defenders in the league if you care to know.He might have other weaknesses but speed is not one of them. If you are a true citizen then you should know this by now,

I said this before, he beat England's new sprinter Craig Pickering over 100m, when I have seen Solomon Kalou make a monkey out of Yobo, his turning looked like a Trailer trying to do a 3 point turning,

One of the most important thing in my life is my time and theirs no refund on it, I wont be able to get it back so I wont risk it at all

I dont think he turned down the Eagles call up, may be the flying Eagles call up which I would understand because they are still growing and their head could easily be turned by all parties including their agents in relation to sponsorships, now we have a player Sven rate highly, a defender with speed in Nigeria is like gold dust. cutting our nose to spite the face wouldnt help, was it 2 or 4 years ago Enekari mis-judged a from 60 yards ago and thats the calibre of defender we currently have but Nedum knows the basic of defender,

Didnt King Solomon have 700 wives 300 (Shownanas)

He could play both right back and center and is as good as Yobo but he is fast, faster than Cristiano Ronaldo

Hmm! Genevieve & Stephanie, they hv all it takes, no other than this 2,

The role of a Bond girl is not for novices or amateurs

Thank you

for what?


A novelty match

Please help he settle this arguement I was having with some of my collegues,

Who is better Rasheed Yekini at his peak to Todays Didier Drogba

Genny with all pleasure!!!

In the presence of all of her ARISTO's

I would like see Atiku's face when sound the slapper!!!

Tiger Wood's great mistake, was , marrying a Scandinavian.
Women of other nationalities seem quite capable of dealing with these sorts of things without causing international scandals and endangering highly lucrative endorsement contracts. (Couldn’t the woman, just have lit a cigarette in her shaking hand and poured herself a stiff gin)?”
For a second imagine if Wood's wife were Nigerian. There would certainly have been no chasing-my-husband-around-the-house-with-an-expensive-golf-club drama, and therefore no driving-into-fire-hydrant, and no 911 call. And, by implication, no public scandal. What she’d have done was to place a tearful call to her mother back home in a well appointed villa in Nigeria. And her mother would have asked her, in vernacular:
“Is he beating you?”;
“Has he stopped taking care of his children?”;
“Is he bringing those useless women into your marital bed?”
To which Mrs. Woods would have answered:
No.
No.
No.
And a genuinely perplexed mother would have said: “So you want to abandon your home? Ewooooo / Yeparipa! Over my dead body! You are staying there!”
Case closed!!!!!! Idiot!!!!

He wants to milk tight-fisted thieves dry? Hmmm, lets see him do that,

Through the CAS!!!!!

*They could order the NFF 30 days to pay him or the super eagles face the consequence

*Deduct his money from money allocated to each country after each game (according to result or outcome) at the world cup

Errr, Bro, he wasn't sacked, he was redeployed, U might want edit that your post

whatever!!! that wasnt what he signed for in the begining, he has a contract in black and white!!!

This case is not going to be tried in some slimy court in Igbosere but in the CAS. I believe Amodu has a case here and he's a smart man.
He signed on as the Super Eagles Technical Adviser, qualified us for the World Cup (luck, Mozambique or otherwise) and gave us a Bronze Medal at the Nations Cup (which was thoroughly undeserving by the way but he did it) and now, they want to relegate him to Team B (what is Team B anyway? Does it exist?) which his contract does not cover. If he wanted to sign on as a coach for Team B, he could have done so from the start and to make him coach this second, non-existent team, I believe he needs a new contract which he must agree to sign on to.
Until then, give him his N300m, maybe it'll teach the NFF a few good lessons.

SPOT ON,

He wasn’t sacked due to gross misconduct! He was sacked due to poor performance, it wasn’t stipulated that he would get a certain amount if his contract was terminated within its duration this means the NFF has to cough up the rest of his contract and any bonus or fee that was promise to him. Amodu has a very strong case and if Amodu could prove that demoting him has affected him psychologically and future employment, CAS could ask the NFF to pay more and you don’t want to mess with CAS.

He wasnt one of those Roman criticise,

The older ones and the high earners like Terry, lampard, Anelka, Carvalho etc

were they wearing trouser when the book was wrote or when moses place these laws

A preacher who spoke the word of God in the bus U entered yesterday made a statement that women in trousers would go to hell. How true is this and those it have any biblical backing? Besides are trousers only made for men to wear?

During the era moses there were nothing called trousers then, how did the preacher knew that a trouser is a mans outfit

D guy just wants a feel of the sexy model nothing else

And who is the model?

Originality!

What is original about D'banj's songs?

As far as i am concerned, he is just a noice maker, 75% of his songs are rub-ish

D'banj should be compared with the likes of Pasuma Wonder or Obesere or those yoruba noice makers

P'sqaure deserve mo than this, sincerely.

P2 for ever, infact they are the best in NIGERIA presently

P-Square are a "112" wannabe, Dbanj has more dance hits

AKON has a new girlfriend — he’s apparently dating Polish singer Ramona Rey!

Insiders have told Showbiz Spy exclusively that the R&B star — real name Aliaune Badara Akon Thiam — was “charmed” by Rey while working on the video for his single Oh Africa.

@ceasyc



Thank you for your insight

DID A GHANAIAN JUST SPOKE?





Is it xmas?

How can you even suggest Lizarazu was defensive? Are you high on your own supply? I followed Bayern and German footie before Arsenal and Lizarazu is one of the most offensive full backs in European footie

sometimes you just have to leave some people and let them chat gibberish

Infact he is a Central Defender masquerading as a right back

EXCUSE ME, it was Capello that moved him into the centre, Thuram was a flyer for Parma on the wing from the Fullback,


Dugarry played the first game and got injured, then Trezeguet played every game till except the final because Guivach was ready

Three of em' scoring means nada. They were a defensive team.

just say you didnt watch it,

The core players in that French team were mostly defensive minded i.e Thuram,Desaily,Blanc,Lizarazu and Deschamps.

Calling Lizarazu and Thuram defensive minded is looney, Lizarazu was a flying fullback for Munich the same with Thuram for Parma, Deschamp was a holding player with a Zidane and front 3 of Henry, Trezeguet and Djorkaef

Didnt 3 of the French back 4 score for Franch during the same world cup

Someone who bought Maniche just because Essien would miss the first leg vs Barcelona.

Reo Coker broke or rapture Essien's ankle in December thats why Essien didnt go to the nations cup and Both Maniche and Costinha had problems in russia I think when they were both with Lokomotiv Moscow and they were both Jose's player at Porto.

Did you just say France played an entertaining style of footy IN 1998?  
They were as defensive as the Italian team of 2006.

Are you serious, I guess you didnt watch the world cup, France battered teams, the 2nd Rd Paraguay parked the bus waiting for penalties the same with Italy in the Qtrs,  because France lost Zidane against Saudi they found it hard to react playing without Zidane,   Croatia gave them a game and France nearly lost,  but Battered Brazil in the final,

He turned down Ribery in 2007 (after Robben had left to Madrid). . . he was given a choice between Ribery and Malouda and he chose Malouda (obviously cos Malouda is more defensively minded)

He choose Malouda because at the time Malouda was the better player in better from Lyon, and Drogba was desperate to have him at Chelsea, and after the in fighting between Jose and Roman, it was late until Roman released the funds for Jose to spend,

Premier League going global
By Chris Bevan and Jonathan Stevenson


English domestic football could be about to undergo yet another revolution.

On Thursday, the 20 Premier League clubs agreed to look into the possibility of playing an extra round of matches every season - abroad.

The idea comes 16 years after the historic creation of the Premier League, and shows just how much the top flight of English football has changed since that key move in 1992.


Here, BBC Sport charts the development of England's national sport to the point where it is now looking to - literally - go global.

THE FORMATION OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE

The Premier League was formed in 1992 when the 22 First Division - as it was then - clubs resigned from the Football League and set up their own division in order to attract greater revenue from television.

The Football Association agreed to the proposal in the belief that it would be tied to a system of excellence that would benefit the national side.


The clubs did it so they could reap the financial rewards and the Premier League soon became a powerful force in the game.

In 1992, broadcasting rights were assigned to subscription television service BSkyB, a move that charged fans for watching top flight football on their screens for the first time in England.

The first agreement between the Premier League and Sky was worth £191m, a figure that has risen dramatically - the last deal for domestic rights is due to run from 2007 to 2010 for £1.7bn between Sky and Setanta.

Promotion alone to the Premier League from the Championship was last season valued to be worth about £60m.

MORE MONEY IN ENGLISH FOOTBALL

The Premier League is already the richest football league in the world, and it is set to get even richer.


In 2001, the Premier League made £1bn from the sale of domestic TV rights and £178m from overseas rights.
For the current contract, which runs until 2010, the domestic rights cost £1.7bn and the foreign rights had leapt to £625m - the biggest overseas deal for sport in the world.

Around £100m of that was spent by NowTV to secure the rights for Hong Kong, Showtime Arabia stumped up around £60m for the Middle East and North African market and WinTV spent £50m to show games in China.

The continued growth and huge appetite of the Premier League's worldwide audience is the reason foreign broadcasters are prepared to spend such huge amounts to show English football.

The potential is vast - an estimated audience of one billion watched Manchester United's match with Arsenal in November 2007.



Chacor
Premier League games are broadcast to over 600m homes in 202 countries worldwide, and they are particularly popular in Asia and the Middle East.

These figures are likely to be reflected when the bidding begins for the next Premier League TV deal in 2010. Even if nothing comes of the proposals to play Premier League games abroad, the cost of overseas rights is expected to match the domestic price in the near future.

CHANGING OWNERSHIP OF CLUBS

The vast earning potential of English clubs has not gone unnoticed by wealthy investors.

When Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea in July 2003, he became the first foreign owner of a Premier League side and, although the Russian has not sought to make a profit at Stamford Bridge, he did start a trend.

Ten top-flight clubs - Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, Aston Villa, West Ham, Portsmouth, Sunderland, Fulham and Derby - are now wholly or partly controlled by rich individuals from outside Britain.

So why the interest? Try guaranteed TV revenue from the domestic market, solid attendances and a large market for branded merchandise for starters.

The combined revenue of all 20 Premier League clubs last season was a healthy £1.4bn, according to accountants Deloitte.

But the potential for further overseas growth remains - and that is where the bigger money will be made.

The Premier League may be the richest football league in the world but it is still behind the NFL and Major League Baseball in the money-making stakes - both made over £3bn in revenue in 2007.

That might not be the case for long, however. The worldwide appeal of English football means bigger rewards are available, and its explosion in popularity in the Middle East and Asia shows what is possible in the lucrative American market in the near future.
