pazienza:
It can begin in Lagos, but enter Nigeria via Enugu and then proceed for final landing in Lagos.

This is very important.

it is not rocket science, duh!!..the younger and beautiful the better...business 101 ..know your Audience..men has the business and the money and likes women. So you dangle the women in front of them. In my firm , we even book exotic women and hotel rooms in advance for all the big wigs..in order to signed that contract. Even banks are notorious for that too. Few of the big madams that came in contact with money are secret lesbians...eg a popular anambra senator, I know very well is a chronic lesbian ..she likes them light-skinned and young( around 19-25)..I don't care ..all I care about is business done.

i will always prefer zapacosta in that alonso's position in this kind of match. i couldn't count a single player alonso was able to beat to go forward. he will always choose to pass back when charged down by an opposing player. if zappacosta had started and morata in his position, there is nothing that will stop hazard and zappacosta from eating sergi roberto raw that yesternight.
i would have also preferred cahill ahead of rudiger. did you notice that until morata came in, we never had a threat on the air. no player cable of nodding the ball into the post. but, cahill and morata would have offered us that. who knows if azpi and morata would have combined to give us that their type goal. conte Bleep up.


is it now at camp nou that will come out to play, let them eat us raw in that their big pitch and intimidating crowd? Remember we no longer have the strong characters we used to have before.
