Wow, thanks for that. Okay, the Tiara/Raymond fiasco is def. over. She can do better, don't you think ?

Def. she can do very much better!

thats surely 1 way out. . . . but i think if u worked @ it, u could make an interesting piece outta the tiara / ray thing. if its a tale of romance u're writing, then i think u've got a pretty good lead here too.

@ maedan,

Absolutely outstanding. . . . simply picturesque - just like in everyday life.

what am really interested in seeing is how u patch up ray & tiara back together again - if indeed they'll get back together - from what i just read, i think its a bit of a tricky spot u've put yourself in with this last scene. . . . it'd a lot of guile to craft out something "believable"; consistent with what has just transpired.

i'm really looking forward to seeing how u work it out!

Pretty sure u can pull it off, u've shown too much potential already. . . . am just so fascinated to see how!

Did you just say Ireland is one of the best midfielders in the EPL?
ERROR!!!
thats not true
hes a good baller but far from one of the best. . .
Fletcher will make him lose his mind

Yes oh. . . . for me, he is up there - he is like a much "skillful Fletcher" and his finishing is just top-notch.

Emperoh:
[color=#990000]He is good but not as u paint him to be. He gets lost in big games atimes and was almost under last week against Arsenal
In any case, i will just release a dose of Fletch on him. . . . . he will so feast on him, that he will get lost!!
So worry ye not!! adebayor risks missing the game as he reluctantly accepted the charges against him.
Its left to see if the FA will charge him before our match!![/color]

Ah. . . . that when u have to be careful cuz outta nowhere, he pops up and gets a goal. . . he is a "thinking" player, u are not gonna see a lot of flashy work from him but his brain is always working - i really respect and admire him a lot.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Manchester United Fan Thread by RuuDie(m): 1:35pm On Sep 17, 2009

The only citeh player that strikes fear in my heart is Ireland. . . . probably the best midfielder out there in the EPL. He is such a phenomenal athlete with great goalscoring instincts - just hope we can keep him quiet - any other person, no shakes we go shackle them.

4-4-2 is the way to go; as long as we can keep the opposition on the backfoot for long spells, we stand a better chance of winning. This is no time to be showing a great del of respect!

Great win for UTD - a win away from home in very difficult terrains is certainly a good way to kick of the UCL campaign. Wish we can get the 1^st round of matches done by the 4^th so we can focus all our resources on the Ligue and other cup competitions!

Business › About Tax And Type Of Labour by RuuDie(op): 10:30am On Sep 17, 2009

Please i'd really love for tax, labour and other economic gurus, scholars and practitioners to throw some light on this matter - it is a true scenario maybe a bit sketchy, i hope you can make something out of it and advise, i'll be glad to offer more details where i can:

A group of workers are contracted to a major O&G company XLT via a contracting agency ABC. Now, agency ABC has explicitly declared that these fellas are not their employees and XLT only regards them as contractors. These guys reside in various states of the federation but work in the niger-delta area. Work is rotary - 2weeks on and 2weeks off - wages are worked on a day-rate basis and it is a pay-as-you-work arrangement.
According to terms of service agreed upon by the workers and Agency ABC - just about the only thing that ABC does is to pay the workers their wages plus any other extras as approved by XLT mgt.

My 1^st question is, according to Nigerian Labor laws, under what category of workers will these guys fall ?
What kind of taxes are they eligible to pay and do they pay their taxes individually or does the agency ABC deduct it from what they earn? Who do these guys pay their taxes to - state of residence or work location state?

Abegi leave matter. . . . . Adebayor has not even been abused yet and he is behaving like a tout in the Oshodi of old.

Has he been the target of more abuses than Samuel Eto'o or other players that play in european ligues where racism is almost uncurtailable. . . . how many times has Eto'o incited a semi-riot in any stadium with provocative actions or gestures.
Cantona gave a fan a flying drop kick - did anybody ask what the fan had said or done huh

didn't Cantona get sanctioned huh

Abegi, admit he bleeped up by not using his head - shows a lack of discipline, professionalism and restraint on his part - that in itself is enough to get him banned; very unsportsmanlike!

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by RuuDie(m): 6:05am On Sep 15, 2009

Adebayor an embarrassment

Emmanuel Adebayor's antics at the weekend were totally embarrassing; he made a complete fool of himself.

After everything Arsenal did to help make him a star, he threw it all back in their face with a show of utter disrespect.

To run the length of the pitch to taunt the away fans after scoring for Manchester City was outrageous and dangerous.

He incited the crowd and the FA should clamp down on him hard. The fans were not blameless but you simply cannot provoke them like that. It could have ended in a riot.

Adebayor blames the fans for driving him out of Arsenal, but he would never think to look at himself first.

It was he who Arsenal plucked out of relative obscurity in France, who publicly linked himself with Barcelona and AC Milan, who signed a fat new contract at Arsenal, who failed to deliver last season, and who often looked uninterested in games.

No wonder the fans wanted rid of him. They were paying a huge amount to fund his luxurious lifestyle and he was not giving them anything like value for money.

If I were a Manchester City fan I would be concerned that he might do the same thing to them. He has made a good start as far as scoring goals in concerned, but will he have the determination to knuckle down when things are not going so well? I doubt it.

He was bound to get abuse from the visiting supporters on Saturday, but he needed to be professional and just get on with it.

Ninety-nine times out of 100, players do not celebrate scoring against their former club as a show of respect. Adebayor didn't just celebrate - he went out of his way to rub Arsenal's noses in it.

I have never seen anything like it, and it sums him up; petulant, selfish and stupid.

His alleged stamp on Robin van Persie and Arsenal's furious reaction to it hints at some bad blood between those two.

It is hardly surprising. Van Persie is very focused, very driven, and he wants to win trophies. He is an achiever.

He would have been unimpressed if Adebayor was not pulling his weight, and being a typically honest and direct Dutchman, he would have let him know about it.

I am a big fan of Van Persie's, and although he appears arrogant I think it is the right kind of arrogance - he is a born winner and will do what it takes to succeed, unlike his former striker partner.

Adebayor has natural ability to become one of the best foreign players to have come to the Premier League, but at the moment he is way down the list.

And judging by his actions at the weekend I don't see that changing.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by RuuDie(m): 11:49am On Sep 14, 2009

Look lets be very objective. . . . i'm not a gooner; but from indications it wasn't really a good idea for Adebayor to do what he did. Apparently, there was enuff bad blood between both parties before the game, absolutely no need whatsoever to push it any further.
Its not even about the stamp on RVP - that cannot be anyway related to the response of the Arsenal fans; its all about the celebration and it was plain for all too see what he did. If he had no where else to go it would be understandable. . . . . but just look at that picture up there - it's clearly de-lineated - Gooners on 1 side Citeh-zens on the other and he had to face the gooners; what else can we conclude from that huh

When u run the full length of the pitch only to slide and land in the bosom of opposition supporters, i really dunno what u're expecting - or perhaps he'd forgotten he wasn't a gooner no more!

Another point to note is; fans will always be fans - they will go to lengths to make the most hated players miserable but as a proffessional sportsman, u're expected to be the gentleman and it takes discipline. Obviously Ade is still lacking in that area.

We've seen players play, score and do even more significant things against their old clubs in the fiercest of rivalries and nothing over-board happened. . . furthermore, Arsenal fans do not even have a history of being malicious this manner which all the more points to Ade as the guilty party here.
