It was here some folks were arguing that at worst Martial will make squad as a substitute in Russia even when we were saying his place on the team isn't sure...
Back then we were critical of Mourinho's decision to give Smalling an ended run of games to increase his chances of making the England squad even though Southgate had openly said he doesn't consider Smalling capable of playing for him as he was too shaky, we appealed that same favor should be extended to Martial since he had a host of talented players in contention for the LWF position of France (Rojo and Rashford don't fall in this category because their respective national teams are not blessed with players good enough to challenge their place in the squad) but Mourinho turned a blind eye and instead opted for Sanchez who isn't going to the Mundial.
As much as I think Deschamp is a joke and his selection is wide off the mark, Mourinho didn't help or show any bias to the Martial course.

Before i moved to Maiduguri in 2016 i usually felt the army were just a bunch of assembled cowards.

Omo but now i am based here fully where i have seen lots of Gun battles between the Army and Bokoharam, i will always give my full respect to security personnel.


War no good ooooh


Keep up the good work Gallant Soldiers na una make me fit dey sleep well here in Maiduguri and other field locations

I am planning to join you soon, which IP?

neezar:
all these are unnecessary talks

we should be talking about preparation for next season

we should also be analysing our new players that might probably come during the summer

and before I drop the mic....I forgot to ask...when is mou selling fellaini??

I saw you saying people have started even when transfer window has not yet been officially opened but you wrote this some days back.

Unlimited22:
It's my birthday today, make una help me celebrate.

Happy birthday bro. More and more of unlimited supplies.

You guys should extend the goodwill to us on Saturday, we need that FA cup...

Nihilstjnr:
mehn Bakayoko is truly shite

At least season don end, and no more airmax.

What an absolute waste of space.

I've never seen such an incapable player in my life.

Every week I had to toe the official line on public knowing that there was a chance, no matter how faint, of chopping some cool cash.

In private I used to rage at my TV everytime I saw his dull looking face and two left feet.

It would have been worth it too, if the fool had managed to stumble his way to 6 goals kpere.

Anyway, at least I can cast off the burden of defender of the Yoko, and focus on the world cup.

Hehehe true confession...

shankara7:
The same Imo that has ousted an incumbent governor even though he enjoyed the support of the political elites and the presidency. Or do you think we are referring to Kwara state?

Give it, time reveals.

Miremoses1:
he has potentials, but in order to unleash it. He has to play else where, he won't get enough game time here.

He will deputise and eventually replace Carvajal...Nacho is a CB

I took note of that Hakimi dude when you guys played my team, Manchester United during the last preseason, he will be very good if he is properly managed...

Mkpakala:
You are actually correct. I am apolitical but judging from what is on ground Rochas will definitely defeat all those guys.Though he is a clown but he enjoys 'tangible' support from masses, forget all the media castigating majority of the actual voters are not on media. I tried to get feelers from people actually in IMO state and confirmed he has massive supporters from all quarters.Trust me Buhari regime will be far from conducting free and fair election,with all the federal machinery tools and enough wherewithal in his disposal he might deliver his son-in-law. As for the APC structure he will definitely take that back.

Personally I am not rooting for his candidate but I must say things the way they are.

Exactly, the person who quoted me saying politics in Imo is a different ball game to what we have in Cross River didn't get my point, in my narrative using Cross River as a case study, I only intended to point out the power of incumbency and the fact that the presidency or powers that be will always favor the governor because they need him to deliver his state to them...It's more like catch my back, I scratch your own...

MaziEDOZIE:
Oga IMO state is not Cross River State, their level of politics deffer alot.

Time will tell.

F-22 are superior to any Russian made fighter jet.......The US now have 5th generation deadly stealth jets in F-35........Even the most advanced Russian air defence S-400 has been circumvented by the IDF in Syria. The truth is that, F-35 can make an entrance into Russian airspace, destroy S-400 and still leave without being hit. After all, it is only F-16 but with Isreali avionics that IDF is using against Russian made S-300 currently deployed in Syria, and the IDF are hitting target in Syria even up till this morning . The F-16 that was downed few months ago still made it back to Isreal........The pilot was at fault as he made an operational error that was avoidable.

The only thing Russia has as a deterrent to the US is to go nuclear, but if it is about conventional warfare, US will destroy them. Isreal has the best airforce in terms of training...they are at par and maybe superior to their US counterparts in terms of training. Russia and China are still way behind them though China and Russia have assets more than Isreali, but nothing compared to what US has.

Russian and Chinees jets have not been tested in war....they have not been deployed against any advanced air defence in the world.........The best they have gone is to go after ISIS militias who only have small hand to surface missiles. I am sure Russian and Chinees fighter jets will be easy prey to America's Patriot, and Isreali Iron Dome, David Sling, and Arrow 3.

Lol how many wars has the US fought with renowned militaries and not some rag-tag terrorists?

Milllz:
Lol.

I’m still looking for where they shot it down. I only know Russia said they discovered one unexploded tomahawk missile in Syria and have been dancing about exploring it, something that has been used by the US since the 1980s.

The thing is, war is money, whoever has more money wins. One of the tomahawk costs almost $2m, the military budget alone of the US is $700B, so they can afford to drop 100 of that on Syria but the entire federal budget of Russia isn’t up to $500B.

Bottom line; we all know how strong they are, but they are older than this, it should be left for the new comers like Iran and UAE. Reminds me of what one American general said when asked why they don’t do parades like the others; he said the world already knows how strong they are, and they don’t need a show to remind them. A clear reminder of WWII and how they refused to fully participate, then ending it with just two bombs.

You must be mistaking the surrendering of Japan for the end of the war...Russia ended WWII

Abagworo:
Imo State cannot be won by anybody without Okorocha support. Okorocha has everything from higher support base(village voters) , higher fire power(militants, thugs, ready to die boys) if violence is required, higher intelligence (smartest young men), higher funds and access to Buhari. So these noisemakers can never win by hook or crook. That they can move around freely or even visit their village is because Okorocha is sacrificing a lot to beg the youths from taking laws into their hands.

True, a sitting governor is more relevant than any senator, the party at the national level will do his bidding cos if he gets frustrated, he might just deploy his last arsenal and work for the opposition...
I saw the power of a sitting governor in 2014/2015, Liyel Imoke who faced similar challenges to what Rochas is facing now, back then, Senate majority leader, Victor Ndoma Egba and some party stalwarts hijacked the ward congresses and thought it was uhuru until the power of incumbency showed its hand, Sen Liyel Imoke had his way, he brought in Ayade (he has failed us), replaced Ndoma Egba with Owan Enoh, now of the APC and made several changes in the party...
Rochas will definitely have the last laugh...This is politics.

Last year, a friend of mine left for the UK, one of the most intelligent minds if not the most intelligent folks I have come across...We are losing our best brains in almost every sector and not just doctors...
I think in the next 10years if things don't change, we'll be begging doctors with blank cheque to stay...Our leaders have messed up this country.

SBG04:
No my very intelligent madam, Dino doesn't enjoy any immunity. That's why he's in police custody now. Saraki's case at the CCT is still ongoing. He too doesn't enjoy any immunity.
Now i have a clear understanding of the kind of people that support Fayose thanks to you. You have opened my eyes. Thanks alot!

They have ruined this forum, that's how you'll find them in almost every section jumping on subjects they have no clue about.

toxblue2411:
even Segundo oni or bimbo daramola cannot deliver just one local govt.... heavy defeat awaits apc come July 14..i am from ekiti state

Simple question, are you satisfied with the performance of Fayose in lieu of the resources available to him?

Kemisolabadmus:
You make sense jor, people spewing trash how on earth will a reasonable person want fayemi as against fayose, fayose is the only governor that have seen that analyses the way he spend all the allocation entering ekiti and beside is it only fayose that is owing workers out of all the 36 states in Nigeria 30 states are owing there workers, forget sentiment the truth is that fayose is still the best governor ekiti has ever produced

This is the average Nigerian talking...So because other states are owing, Fayose should not be questioned even against the Bach drop of bailout funds the state has received? Suffering and smiling...

eph12:
Which of Ronaldo's goals or achievements are not as a result of teamwork?

Don't mind him, if we apply his logic, then Ronaldo shouldn't be rated so highly as a lot of the good work prior to his goals are done by his team mates

timbros:
And you think more matches won't mean more chances to score?

Except that he is renowned for missing them as they come...

raumdeuter:
Likewise the chances of him scoring more

Going by his form prior, it is most likely he'll miss more chances with more games.

timbros:
Lukaku had more matches/minutes compared to Morata.

Even when he lost form, Lukaku still plays. Why? He has no competition in that position.

This is Mourinho after the Brighton loss...



Mourinho don't trust anyone else in that position so he plays Lukaku consistently even when he is not in form. But Morata? He has competition. Batsman, Hazard (false 9), Giroud..... so he gets benched when not in form or gets rotated. Not to talk of injury.

Morata didn't do that badly the way our NL analysts are painting him. Yes, he could have done a lot better but not that bad the way you guys see him here.

After 2 to 3 seasons I will decide if Morata's transfer is hit or miss....Drogba started slowly for us too. He too was an expensive signing in 2005.

With the way his season has panned out, if Morata played more matches, the chances of him having and missing more big chances is the likely possibility...

Congrats bro.

If Lukaku or say Pogba had won the award, wouldn't Mourinho have been jumping from place to place giving him the necessary accolades? I am sure he'd have stop briefly to fire cheap shots at Van Gaal and his United reign claiming a striker and not a goalie should be winning the clubs best player award...
Mourinho is his own problem...

dopeJemi:
Mourinho should shut the fnck up, which stupid team achievement... Bloody bastard

The man is trying to save face, remember his comment when he came on board where he claimed it was unusual for DDG to win the clubs player of the season, he argued that it should be won by an outfield player...
This man is very calculative, all his pressers are targeted at a point we might not get at first, he definitely knows to work the mind of his loyalist...

Obasanjo is only talking about 8 years of PDP in power, it's called selective amnesia...

elrony:
Ruben?





Fun fact:


still won't save you from Yorukpa League

Hehehe

Skimpledawg:
Yes doc. Shaw has hit the woodwork 3times...so close.

Martial just punched Carrol and got a red card, a pity.
Although, Pogba missed 2 chances tho

The best part was where Noble slapped and pushed Pogba towards the dressing room

All in all, a good game

Hope you are not chilling with weed taker?

sinizia:
Our attack was blunt today. When Mourinho wanted to bring in Rashford, I was hoping Lindeolf would be taken out but he chose to remove our best player Lingard. I pray we don't play like this against the Awon Shekpeteris in FA Cup final.

Mourinho is becoming very unpredictable with his choices

Mourinho should at least play the likes of Martial, Rashford, Mata and Rojo now to help them win a place in their respective national teams.
If he can do it for Smalling, he should definitely do it for others.

sinizia:
The team is not playing well but Shaw is.

Thanks, just checked flash score and Martial was left on the bench even when he needs game time to stake a place in the French team.

Not watching the game, how's Shaw playing?Looks like the team is playing well and creating chances from the stats I'm seeing...
