Happy New Year to Everyone, and it's cool TheSuperNerd is back! I expect to read top-notch Analyzes from him and the Rest of Gurus in the House!

Humility017:
I think....that's a kind of good news though...
please nobody should mention me...on this..

If people don't fall sick, who would the doctors treat?
If things don't require fixing, how do we engineers feed.

That's life, one man's misfortune might be another man's fortune.

oloriooko:

So you think all the matches hes scored for SE is comparable to the ones in the WC
And you are saying he should get stuck in the rot at his club cuz he has a permanent shirt in SE?
I hope you are aware we are not goung to ANC!

Lol...you funny...take it from me...
only a injury can forbid nancho from not going to the world cup...

so because the dumb coach prefer slimani to nancho makes you think the Algerian is better than nancho...?

you ought to know by now....that..sometimes coach choose players base on the tactics to adopt...for the match.......

nancho that I am even begin to think....rohr should entrust wit all our set piece duties....you wanna forbid him from going to the world cup.....?
who gonna take out set piece like free kicks...?
I need lots of that goal scored against Argentina....

Humility017:

to be honest my brother...we don't need elderson @ the world cup....
idowu and Aina can man up that position perfectly well...
while ebuehi and shehu takes control of the RB....

those 3 lads are the future of super eagles defense including awaziem and troost ekong

How many matches did Elderson play at the last world cup that we'd need his experience at the WC?

We seriously don't need his kind of experience in the team

TheSuperNerd:
Lolll Sir Danycrusoe... oya click on quote to check this post of mine and see the format.


This is one example from the article.

I haven't gotten it

junnyjake:

I tell you bro....
those English players are so hyped that even when they play rubbish coaches still don't drop them from the starting 11 all because they're English....

they enjoy relatively hype...play like stars in their respective club sides...only to play like amateurs when assembled together to play as a team....

reason why a nation like England could be so panicked ahead of the world cup draw not to get Iceland in their group....
even right now....they're already scared of belguim

junnyjake:
Under the new coach, Aina has consistently been playing at LB. And has been winning MOTM awards from that position too.

I pray he improves on his game so he can make that position his in the GWG shirt.

That's good news... Hopefully he will be our first choice LB starting this year... We don't need elder Echijele anymore if he doesn't pick up form..


I'm hoping Rohr's defense pick for the world cup is like this

Balogun
Ekong
Awazeim
Aina
Idowu
Ebuehi
Shehu
Omeruo or any other CB

junnyjake:


How many matches did Elderson play at the last world cup that we'd need his experience at the WC?

We seriously don't need his kind of experience in the team

I tell you my brother...to some persons old age equates experience....

or possibly shuttling from one league to another makes for experience even when it is obvious that the player have been warming bench in all this leagues....

Aina and Idowu can do the job perfectly well....

it will make no sense forbidding any of ebuehi, Aina and shehu the world cup...idowu and musa inclusion is stricly because of their knowledge of Russia.

Nice list...omeruo is still a problem there...
that dude was someone I looked up to several years ago....to become the chief super eagles defense minister....
I will even prefer efe ambrose to him..presently....base on club form...afterall...efe rarely makes silly mistakes..like omeruo...
I won't want any rookie in his place....

the young ones that wanna play for us should await after the world cup...

No one is saying he should not go to the WC but he cannot be at his best if he doesnt have playing time at his club. The best way to assess a player is what he does at his club and presently Nacho is warming bench.

Dont even try to say he does not fit to the coachs' tactics that is just pathetic
About freekicks it will surprise you we have other takers in the team, so what happens if he gets injured in the WC?

Sorry Sir Danny. Okay uhmmm... you use a smartphone na so you have to press and hold the pic you want to copy out.

When you press-hold on the pic, options will emerge. Click on "open image" or it can be "open image in new tab".

Go to where the image is now reopened as a new tab and copy the link for that pic. With that link, you then do what you see in my post, when you check out the format (via quoting my post).

Danycrusoe:


wait x it that there x a link on each picture and all I v to do is copy and paste the link in between the article anywhere I want it?

TheSuperNerd:
Omo Egbon talk true joor. You get am for wahala oooo. But shaa the wahala is part of wetin miss you I no go lie. You be one-man mopol, a one soldier-battalion in fact. Lolll Omo, I need sew this your room for this our big mansion here sef... I never enter am before. I tried to knock one day, and I saw "Please do not disturb, if you do better beg for forgiveness."



And wait ooo.. are you sure it is Madam Safarigirl that is facing your room door? I thought her room is somewhere near the big hallway's centre point close to the entrance into the Mighty auditorium-like parlour

E be like say na Sir Joebie change the rooms oooo. Hmmmmm... make Sir Joebie land first. How your room and Safarigirl's room dey face each other? Nooooo, This must be a faux pax. I was expecting it to be Sir Komekn's room or maybe Sir Goldfish80.

(I hail una oooo... na just hailing nii oooo)

Oga Forgiveness shaa, I hope all is well with you and you are sound and ready to go in 2018.

Hahaha. Ok na.

All is well my guy and by the grace of God this year will be great for us all. Thanks

It is only God that will judge those people that quoted TheSuperNerd's long epistle.....only God, I will leave you all to Him and your conscience

Welcome back TheSuperNerd, forgiveness has been running amok on these streets and TheGoodJoe has been doing his darnd best to hold the fort , at least the tackling will be much stronger now

@Bolded tell them oo ... All these pro foreign born wanna try and force the young ones on us..

Funny thing is,a lot of people here don't believe that we can win the world cup .. So what's the use of sending lots of rookies there??

Let's use the AFCON qualifier to test the level of commitment of these players and not just the world cup alone..

Oga its enough jare! ... We have gotten past this stage of iheanacho complaints. Give it a rest already.

MetalJigsaw:
I concur. I think there's something he isn't doing right that over there. And it could be psychological.


A friend of mine who is an Arsenal fan always wonders why the guy is fast becoming a beast in the Green jersey but different at clubside. But I don't really care since he's doing well for Nigeria.

isn't it obvious?

He has peace of mind when he wears the GwG, he feels loved, accepted, encouraged and those three spices can really boost any player's performance. Unlike with Arsenal, where the fans are always carrying torches and clubs, ready to beat him to a pulp and use him for suya as soon as Cech let's a goal in.

I mean, Mustafi could score an Own Goal and Arsenal fans will say he scored it because Iwobi passed the ball to him.

@TheSuperNerd, good to have you back

Happy New Year to everyone

realpoacher:


Oga its enough jare! ... We have gotten past this stage of iheanacho complaints. Give it a rest already.

Last time i checked this is a free forum where you can express your opinion at any time and if you feel bothered please kindly ignore my post and worry more about yourself!

Abeg make we go vote o. only 16 have voter out of a possible 82(43 consistent posters)... Voting ends on jan 4th midnight. Thank you.
Forgiveness and komekn are unchallenged in most categories.

BascoVanVeli:


I just gave my opinion on what I watched. I doubt you even watched Ajayi last season because I can't remember u coming here to rave about a single performance.

Yes. I rave about a player's performance only if there is something to rave about.

oloriooko:

And you are saying he should get stuck in the rot at his club cuz he has a permanent shirt in SE?
I hope you are aware we are not goung to ANC!

My point is clear.

Even if he continues to fail to score or even make team in LCFC, it doesn't stop him from making Nigerian squad to WC. His place is assured

He could, and might even consider moving in January, but even without that he is asure banker for our WC squad.

He's part of SE's top 10 players now.

Welcome back, bro! You were missed. And like elyte89 said, Go and sin no more

And by the way, does anyone know how I could change my moniker by myself? I have asked the moderators several times to change my moniker to His_Majesty, but they don't wanna play ball. And I don't wanna create brand new moniker


O pari

TheSuperNerd:
*Home again?* *Why are the lights still out? where is everyone?*

*walks in with a torchlight and goes to nearest switch to turn on the lights*


First of all, before anything else, I just wanna apologise to the family of this thread for my long absence no thanks to the big issue of last time. Truth is, I should have made my return after we beat ARGENTINA in that top class friendly but I couldn't because I was so caught up in the business end of my scholarship studies for the year ending period of 2017. Aside that also, I was so locked up in some project plans and some more engagements. I just couldn't make out time for Socials anymore.

Thing is, I'm pass that dark issue now and I am back to say "It was a pleasure walking with several of you in 2017, I know the value of life and what it means to wake up everyday and still be alive. It is a miracle and a Joy that before I left back then, I had not witnessed the death of any one member. But from a quick scan backwards on this thread, I understand that lovely folks like Sir TheGoodJoe and one more moniker (was it Sir Do4LuV14? Please forgive me, I am not sure) lost their fathers. Please accept my condolences even though they come very late. And Sir TheGoodJoe, I am sorry that you had to go through that and I was not even around. I am sure your father was already proud of the fantastic, super intelligent and awesome man you have become and are still growing into. It is well Sir. And to the other fellow who witnessed same loss, I have no true words to say but it is well. Be strong. Make him smile even in his sleep with how you live and how you run this race called life. Just make him proud. All is well."


So yeah, to some who may be shocked to read my comments, I say, deal with it *Winks* *smiles* *rubs palms*

Sir Joseph1013, I got your mentions Sir. Please take very good care of you outside the shores of Nigeria, wherever you are. Without your threads discovered in 2015 by me via google, I would not be on NL. Thanks for your mentions and for somehow not judging me when I do get really pissed at some happenings here. When I walked in here, I address every one by the title of Sir because where I come from, it is a mark of respect not minding if I may be addressing my junior or senior. Well, how do I know? I am 25 now... lol To think I was 23 when I walked in on NL... cool memories.

Chief Icon4s, at least I told you something before. I told you that in the end, The passion and drive for the GWG won't keep me away for so long. But I really needed that break. But it is good to still see you and some beautiful others still digging it strong here on NL's best thread.

Sir Mujtahida, I got your mention(s) too. Thy poetic ingenuity mixed with the knowledge of one so versed in the words amd dynamics of history and world affairs make you one to always behold in writings. I told you when you walked in here that I could spot already thy poetic magnificence. Well, now that is super obvious to all. You nicknamed me VicMo of the thread one time. But with my absence and using Sir Komekn's analysis of a few months being like a year in football, then I wonder if such nickname still holds true.


Sir Joebie, My Joebie... Where is Madam? Gosh what is her moniker again? I call her the "My Joebie" Moniker. The ladies' man. Happy new year Sir. Read earlier this morning where you compared me to Vincent Enyeama.... Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... and Sir Kennysville was like, "You never see anything" loooollll

You guys are fucking crazy I swear! Hahahahahahahahaha.... Me I no be Enyeama oooooo. For me, the whole is more important than the glory of one. I hope Enyeama can understand that. But somehow, when I was away, I had a hunch that soon someone may compare my absence to Enyeama's matter. Chaaaiiiiii... plssss oooo we are not on the same page.


To Safarigirl, NLSports' first lady. An Amazon in the midst of Men. Happy to see you alive and kicking well in 2018 too. Remember what I told you when I first met you? Okkkkaayyyy.. don't worry, that's for the closet.

To another beautiful mind on here... Maybe it is because his comments are not a as regular judging by what I have read in the past few pages this morning. Sir BascoVanVeli still remains of the most favorite persons I always wanna see comment. Funny how going by nominations I am seeing now that many do not seem to remember that BascoVanVeli is a champion for he homebased. Infact, one of the thread's undercard debate matches is most times between The amiable and Legendary Sir Tbaba1234 and Sir BascoVanVeli (Master of the sarcastic )

I just dey look una.

Sir Tbaba1234, Tbaba12345, should I add 6 & 7? Happy new year to you too. Still dropping those one or two lines as ever huh? This legend is super consistent.


My Happy new year messages go to you all.... I could write on each and everyone here. But please understand why some just have to get very special mentions.


Sir Terzurum5, Creator of NL's finest sports thread.

Sir Orkpekyandega, Where have you guys hidden this dude?

Sir Icon79, Sir, I think you Berra add "Not Icon4s" to your moniker to "dis-confuse" the newbies and some others still left on limbo on who is who between you two. looooll. Calls me nerdie. Hahahahahahahahaha...

Sir Omanbala1, Gosh... I just saw your post on that little thread of mine. Well, thing is, I have been away. I had a very very busy end to 2017 with all I was engaged with. And it was for the greater good of My Life Vision and all. But I just could not stay away from spending the new year with you guys after missing Christmas and after missing The Argentina game which was the perfect opportunity for me to nail the coffins of some negative monikers here always pulling the team down.

Sir Forgiveness, You ehn!!!! If I catch you ehn! See Baba mi.. Egbon Sir... Berra go borrow vest from Batman oooo because Ilẹ ti malu kan ko ni ibamu fun oju-ẹja ti ẹja.

Happy new year Sir Forgiveness . Missed you like kilode... Hahahahahahahahaha


Happy new year to you all.....

The Ever optimistic AIG07, The Prophetic Napoleon55, The Lovely and caring Madam Confun, The Ever Critical Sir Goldfish80 (one time he really hoped Mbappe played for Cameroon so that we may be sent to the cleaners! looollll... yes he is ever critical but maybe na him way of gauging against unforseen heartbreaks. But he and his super critical crew should always learn to give credits when our boys actually rise up to the occasion. Biaaaa Sir Goldfish80, this 2018 ehn, Make I no talk ), ehen uhmmm.... still on happy new year roll call....

Happy new year to....

The guy always playing the role of my antagonist... Mickael2 Lol, humans sef , the one and only Elder Sir Kog45 (One of the guardians of the lost-but-found classified trolls of Nigeria's Football history), the One called SoetanOreoluwa (I no go lie, your name hard me first time I see am..), the ever super critical master of The borough club located with headquarters in London and branches scattered all over UK, Sir Komekn himself

Happy new year also to.....

Sirs: Dr.Likita (I thought I saw "m" before "f"? :-/), Chrismario, Chriskels, Jihday, Do4Luv14, Jarus (So the big guy finally came here... lol. Good to see he is also "very critical." Lol), Mikron, Kennysville, Certitude, Taliban, Elyte89 (funny dude! Wetin be your own sef? Almost every mention from you is "I hope this won't turn out like TheSupernerd scenario." Abi you he history police? ), Maidaboi (This beautiful guy. Where are you? I've missed you) etc etc (Please, I have been away for long, recalling all monikers here is a big ask... gosh! plsss pardon me if I never mention your name),

(Recalled before posting) Sirs: Danycrusoe, Gbosaa, TGlobal, EnigmaticMotik, BigBlangston, etc etc... Bon Annee Messieurs.


Madams: Eseose9 (a ghost reader in 2017, biaaa upgrade in 2018 ooooo), and all female ghost readers like her.

And a big shout out to the all members of the Notorious Gang of silence upholding the flags and etiquettes of Silence and Stealth. #TheSilentCrew Una well done! Happy new year to una. But this year some of una must upgrade oooo. Haba! Silent crew for 15 years?? Nooooooo we cannot take this!



From TheSupernerd, loved by some, hated by some, and just not gotten/understood by a few others. To most, he is just TheSupernerd.

Choose love over hate. It makes you live longer. Happy new year to you all. I know there are a few here who would have love to hear my analysis on how I would have broken down the physics and magnificent angles to the execution of Iheanacho's freekick against World Class Argentina. Hey! I know okay. Deny it but I know

But in all.... what is this thread about? It is for the progression and the Glory of Nigerian football through all the seasons of the good, the bad and the ugly leading up to the transition from the maggot/caterpillar stage to the stage of the beautiful butterfly.

We are a team in evolution and we are young and threatening. I believe in this team and I know what our teamwork is capable of producing. So you can keep castigating and you can keep defending your favorite players but what truly matters is that this team grows into a formidably powerful force as a team.


The Super Eagles gave me cause to smile a lot last year and in Russia, I dare say you all (except a few) will be in for a shocker on what this team will go on to achieve. I just pray we maintain our rise and positive transformation.

It is finally here. The year of the big baptism of Nigeria's next golden generation.

Happy new year once again.

*And no apologies for the long essay. I will never change*

The bolded is capitally wrong!
For the position he plays in the SE, i dont think he has any assurance else we are simply going to WC for jamboree. We must make the team competitive and unfortunately for him, there is nothing the coach can use to judge his form just like Musa

No worries, bro. We're twin brother .... so it's OK if they get us mixed up, sometimes

Danycrusoe:


Thanks bro but the neglect they get is alarming.

I really wish we would reach the footballing levels of Germany, France and say Brazil soon where both our male and female teams at any level whatsoever will be feared, respected and regarded as favorites irrespective of form or the opposition.

Pinnick's pursuit of glory blinds him to their quest for glory. Glad the passion is still there. Remains the technicality and flair. We'l get there soon.

TheSuperNerd:

Happy new year to you Sir. Wow! Sir Joseph did say the house is richer and bigger. From whence cometh thou? I think I should say my own welcome to the thread Sir. Sorry for not being present when you finally walked in as I can guess you are upgrading from the #SilentCrew


Other #TheSilentCrew members... watch out! I am coming for all of you You must come out of stealth mode (well at least some of una naa) and come fill up the other room spaces in this big house. Haba! We didn't build them for geckos and rats naa.

I was saddened when you left and opened another thread. One thing you should bear in mind is that you shouldn't leave the house you helped in building because of some actions of a few trouble makers

My sources are saying that Everton (Big Sam Alladyce) is making enquires about Kelechi Iheanacho.
Good news, if it pans out!!

tbaba1234, please can you confirm? Are you getting the same info from your sources??

Nice list...omeruo is still a problem there...
that dude was someone I looked up to several years ago....to become the chief super eagles defense minister....
I will even prefer efe ambrose to him..presently....base on club form...afterall...efe rarely makes silly mistakes..like omeruo...
I won't want any rookie in his place....

the young ones that wanna play for us should await after the world cup...

Efe does not make silly errors

In terms of errors, Omeruo is better.

welcome back TheSuperNerd and happy new year,u've missed some really heated arguments here,anyways u here now
