And let me help u out with d goalie's name: Daniel Akpeyi.

forgiveness:

I intentionally didn't include Oruma but I also followed him wella.

There is nothing like wiki skills I followed Marseille matches wella.

There was an era Olympics Marseille will bet Chelsea to a transfer market wella.

There was an era Olympics Marseille was bigger than Chelsea.

There was an era Olympics Marseille was rated highly than Chelsea.

All these was before the billionaire bought the club in 2004.

During Celestine Babayaro era at Chelsea, Chelsea was a small club in England and in Europe. Nobody knew Chelsea fc.

Chelsea became a bigger club after Celestine Babayaro left the the club in 2004.

So, there was no stars ever in Olympics Marseille?

Celestine Babayaro tried but he never wore a Jersey with a star.

You call him Baba but CAF called Taye Taiwo the one time CAF young player of the year.

He never ceases to amaze.

Funny as it may seem. I like his never die spirit.

joseph1013:
You can't! He's a fantastic guy.

safarigirl:
icon4s abeg no dey encourage rubbish. It's not funny, it's annoying and pathetic.

Forgiveness please stop these blind arguments, they make you look like a twelve year old boy trying to tell his 70-year old grandpa facts of the civil war.

It's a sorry sight and i'm honestly tired of your diaper arguments. The seniors may find your antics funny, but that should make you worried because that means nobody is even taking you seriously. Your arguments are in vain if no one is taking them seriously

Napoleon55:
Let's see if I'm right or wrong

joseph1013:
You can't! He's a fantastic guy.

OdenigboAroli:


Not to spoil your show but that guy is a confirmed tribal bigot...And this is just being polite and honest. I have seen his comments in the politics section. Very distasteful.

Icon4s:


Not that i am encouraging rubbish.

See, one thing is we all are different in our own ways.

This is an open forum where people are free to air their views and opinions.

In as much as forgiveness most times takes his arguments to some extremes he has never ever uttered one abusive word. Not even when provoked. I love him for that.

If every1 has same opinion here then the house will be boring. Eg: Iheanscho is better than Solanke or Babayaro is better than Taye Taiwo or even Nwakali is better than Awoniyi and every1 agrees, no one to dispute, u will see less of me here cos it is mostly those arguments that draw my interest here.

So our honourable First lady pls forgive forgiveness and b patient with him.
Some forumites do have 'em

His arguments can be funnily skewed most times but i will say he is a great guy.

SHOCKING! Minister unaware Nigeria Olympic team in US

Nigeria Olympic team coach Samson Siasia


Nigerian sports minister has dropped a bombshell after he told a press briefing he was not aware the country’s Olympic team are training in the United States of America ahead of next month’s Rio Olympics.

The Olympic team led by coach Samson Siasia have raised alarm they have been abandoned in the USA by the authorities.


And sports minister Solomon Dalung has further laid credence to this claim when he said he did not know the team are training for the Rio Olympics in Atlanta.


“The issue of our U23 national team suffering in the United States of America is news to me. In fact I am hearing it from you (the media) for the first time,” Dalung stunned the reporters.


“They (Dream Team VI) didn’t tell us what they were there for and who took them there. It doesn’t mean that if somebody goes to the market and has problem then you will come and ask the ministry (of Youths and Sports). The question is who took them there? And what are they there for?

“Because they are U23 national team and they went to the US and they are having problems, does that become our business?


“When they were travelling to US from your information, were you told we that we were informed? Before you (the media) asked us to account for something you should know whether we were aware of it.


“So, if somebody has a birthday of his friend and he moves his team to go and play (there) you cannot come back to ask me to account for it. If they are throwing them out of the hotel (in the US), then they should know who took them there.


“They supposed to be given a letter approving they are travelling from the minister’s office. Then if they ask me I will tell you that I approved it and this is the reason.

‘So, what is happening in the US (as regards the U- 23 national team) maybe it is a story you (the media) are telling me”.

Nigerian sports minister raises alarm over Rio Olympics squad

Akinshilo Ayomide 1 week ago

– The minister of sport Solomon Dalung is not convinced by Samson Siasia’s Rio Olympics squad

– Dalung questions why the coach has failed to pick players who qualified for the tournament

– Only 10 of the players who qualified for the tournament are on Siasia’s provisional 35-man list

Nigerian minister of sports Solomon Dalung has questioned coach Samson Siasia’s 35 man Rio Olympics squad.

Solomon Dalung during a meeting with NFF executives

The minister is not impressed by Siasia’s move to leave out many of the players who qualified for the tournament by winning the U-23 African Cup of Nations in December 2015.

According to africanfootball.com, more than half of the team who qualified the team to the games were left out by coach Samson Siasia.

“The list of the players for Rio is very different from the one who qualified the country for the games,” said sports minister Solomon Dalung.

“It seems our local coaches cannot grow above parochial sentiments.”

Only 10 players from the squad who won the U23 AFCON in Senegal in December are on the provisional 35-man for the Olympics with the possibility some of them will also not make the final 18-man squad to Brazil.

TheGoodJoe:



So you believe in your heart that in 1999 when Chelsea had the likes Desailly and Andre Flo that Marseille would beat Chelsea to a player. Come on. The EPL was smashing transfer records.

Chelsea could secure the likes of Petit and Crespo. How can yoh tell me Marseille will beat Chelsea in the market when they were relegated and when they finished 11 in the league.

It is not true. Chelea had a stronger squad all through Babayaro's era.



Look at the link below. UEFA team ranking.


By 1999, Chelsea was ranked 16, Olympique Marseille was ranked 36.

By 2000, Chelsea was ranked 14, Olympique Marseille was ranked 38.

By 2001, Chelsea was ranked 12, Olympique Marseille was ranked 44.

By 2002, Chelsea was ranked 11, Olympique Marseille was ranked 46,

By 2003, Chelsea dropped to 25, Marseille was ranked 49.

By 2004,Chelsea was ranked 20, Marseille was ranked 40.

Chelsea was bigger than Olympique Marseille by far before Roman's money.

this man is an idiot.

Even a nursery student knows the Olympics are in August, and the daft man o'war member is looking for official letter

Both the NFF and Sports Ministry is filled with half-brained dimwits with the IQ of a street dog. Such lack of co-ordination is disgraceful.

So, who gave Siasia and 25 or so others money to travel? How are they getting feeding and accommodation?

Not trying to bring politics into this, but where did Buhari get this incompetent oaf from? And why do we have a Sports Ministry if all the nonentities there don't realise the biggest sporting tournament in the world is less than a month away and we have nothing to look forward to, at this rate everybody should just come back mbok, before they exhaust the little reps we still have

Maybe they should attach the NFF to the NBF cuz it's obvious those who run the basketball federation are the only competent sports administrators in this country.... And na this kain rubbish some people are still saying Kelechi should go for, make e waste salary on top food

Focus More On Domestic Players Than Foreign Pros, Bar. Green Tells Siasia
Augustine Akhilomen
[/size]
[img]http://www.soccernet.com.ng/2016/07/focus-more-on-domestic-players-than.html[/img]
Nigeria Football Federation technical committee, Barrister Christopher Green says Dream Team coach, Samson Siasia should focus more on the players in his disposal rather than lamenting over the none release of the invited foreign players from their respective clubs in Europe ahead for the Rio Olympic Games Men's Football event.


The team's poor performances in recent friendly matches played so far has made Siasia developed some element of fear with just 23 days to the commencement of the showpiece in Brazil couple with the fact that he may not have a full complement of some of the invited foreign pros players.

Green insisted that the Football Federation had told him to invite players who he was sure would be released by their clubs in Europe.


"I don't think Samson Siasia should be complaining because it was clear when we asked him to select players who he thinks will be available for the Games. Besides, we told him to use players in the domestic league for now but must penciled down players in the foreign legion that he's sure their clubs will release them for the Rio Olympic Games," Green stated.


"Again the NFF are not relaxing too much because we are also working round the clock to ensure that clubs release some of these players for the games in Brazil. I am happy to inform you that we have started to get green light on the availability of the foreign pros and I am confident they will join the team before the games."
