Arsenal Away form can't be explained. Their home form is as good as Mancity or Liverpool. Away from home, they are just rubbish.

I am not sure what you understand by the term " wires crossed " which is a very civil and polite way of saying you've made slight mistake. It seems this very common expression is totally lost on you and a few other who liked your comments.

I am not an English teacher and don't have the qualification to be one. But your response says a lot about you as person.

See the bitter jaundiced vitriolic response you have given. I presume a certain degree of basic education and understanding here, but it seems where you are concerned I was very wrong. Below taken from the Cambridge online dictionary.

When people get their wires crossed, they have a different understanding of the same situation
: Somehow we got our wires crossed because I'd written the 23rd in my diary and Jen had the 16th. Misunderstanding. cross purposes. don't get me wrong idiom


https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/get-your-wires-crossed


I know pride will not allow you to apologise for degrading the discourse with your gutter language and caustic abuse.
Oh, my! Who would have thought, I've been using that phrase wrongly all these while. As an electrical engineer, I've automatically understood the phrase to mean 2 current carrying conductors bridging, resulting in a short circuit, I don't think there's need telling how catastrophic the resultant effect.

I apologize for the misunderstanding.

BTW, How was my reply caustic? What characterized it as gutter language? Why is it classified as vitriol? Accusatory; yes. Confrontational; I can agree with that.

Meanwhile, I like what Rangers are doing in the npfl....3 points clear on top group A with 3 outstanding games...

They won back to back away games within the space of three days.. its obvious Gbenga Ogunbote is doing an excellent job there..

All in all,this season NPFL has been good...lots of away wins... Shame we can't watch it on TV...

How does that equate to over 50 players Samuel Chukwueze's age playing professional football in Spain?

You are missing the point thinking Samuel Chukwueze is a reward for our development.

Heck, there was a time almost every player in the Barcelona starting line up came from the academy of Barcelona.

That is what you call high quality grassroot development.
What in the world are you talking about? Why wouldn't there be 50 young professionals in Spain? Are their young men running away from their league like a plague? We need to focus our energy on developing our country instead of discrimination. I repeat that this is a children's tournament and all adult sentiments should be shoved aside. If a boy wants to play in the world cup and then run off to sing with Wiz Kid I wouldn't care because he had a once in a lifetime experience which he earned by being among the best in his age group. This children should stop feeling like the faith of their extended families rest on their heads. Let them play football in peace.

When it comes to Barcelona the only words that come to mind are La Masia. Just like the Manchester 93 set are credited to their academy. These players made their first teams through hard work. Nothing was given to them. You can take a horse to the river bro.
Also will the U17 world cup really improve our grassroots if your plan is to ship them abroad. If anything you are helping the grassroots in other countries with that plan.

Saying that the league was as good as it had been in a long time doesn't sound so crazy now does it? I also think we some of the best group of coaches that we have had in a long time.

Development of grassroot players. That is the point. After all you wrote, you have no justification why giving away the little opportunity grassroot players have is a solution for their development.

Just looked through the list for the highest goal scorers in Europes top leagues.

African countries like Algeria, Egypt, Senegal, Morocco and even Ivory coast have at least one repreentative.

No Nigerian on the list. I'm saddened by it but hopeful for the best at AFCON.

Football education in the country is rot due to the poor structure of the grassroot. Even a big man's child will not get Ajax academy education in Nigeria.

So no beef if a big man's kid is outstanding in camp. He is going to get better education and exposure.

However, I am against giving a scholarship to a big man's child whose father can pay 800,000 naira a term without flinching. Give the scholarship to a child that really needs it.

Admit it you don't care about the grassroots you just want the players to go to Europe, how grassroots is that?

It is not their "opportunity". If FB children were ineligible then you can say the opportunity belongs solely to children born in Nigeria but you would be stealing what is rightfully theirs if they are good enough.

You would be turning kids into collateral damage for something that will only lead to more discrimination. Why don't we ignore the best based in Nigeria and only select from places that have never yielded talents?

I have said it repeatedly that we need to build our grassroot structure. I even went as far as showing how developed the Brazilian system is. Pointing out how early young players break in.

I have talked of us having junior leagues etc. I went as far as pasting the development system if Spain hoping we adopt it.

I was one of the first, if not the first who cried about how the state of the pitches were hindering the growth of our football.

It is wrong to make false accusations to sell your point. When I talk of players getting opportunities fron the U17, are all of them going to play Europe?

Simple. Use the U17 for grassroot development. The foreign borns are spoilt with too much opportunities. We have other levels they can represent the country.

As long as the opportunities are minute here, we should embrace using the U17 for grassroot development of players.

This is a very difficult question it's not so simplistic.

The first thing is to be true to yourself and know what your attributes are. However, attributes can change and be created with training and development.

The Belguim league is not a top league if we are to be honest. As a consequence it will be considerably easier to get opportunities for a younger player. Or one with limited ability.

The EPL is the most competitive the Spanish league the most technical.

I really could not say which is best for players from Nigeria without residence status in Europe.

But as you already know it's VERY DIFFICULT for young players to break into the EPL irrespective of nationality and colour. Quite a few who have had no opportunity in the EPL have gone to the Bundesliga and ripped it. Because it's difficult doesn't mean that Nigerians born players are being excluded and or discriminated against. However, if they did they will have to be EXCEPTIONAL.
but those guys don't have a British passport nah and won't get a work permit....
so the best they should go is the Belgian league...they can develop from there....

Enaholo was doing better than Alampasu and Leke Ojo.

Enaholo being first choice was justifiable.
