Yep SAHA

Then David Moyes must be a classic retard.
SAHA missed more than a dozen penalties for Man Utd. He is a plank!!!

Who missed the penalty? SAHA??

chic2pimp:
^^^^^^^^^^^^ Trophies Baby Trophies

Nani is a dim wit. He could have broken the player's leg.

Which stupid trophies? Martin O'Neill has won as many titles as Arsene Wenger.

He got the ball. . . . .That was a horrible decision from the referee.
If that was Gerrard making such tackle, he wouldn't have been sent off!!!

SAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

DO IT FOR THE REDS!!!!

doyin13:
Why is Martin O'Neill ''highly regarded'' for 4x sake.

His team has been a shambles since United went one down.

How the 4k won't United have so much possesion when your
team is spread out wide all over the place.

And to make it worse, he has insisted on using the lone striker
who can't get a hold of the ball.

I am not surprised anyway. . . .

Bloody villa have always been regular despoil victims of United.

Why is Wenger highly regarded for 4ks sake?

shooting, finishing, shot accuracy, however its spun, Rooney isnt a 9 and isnt on Drogba's level in that department.
If Rooney gets a 9 what does a player like Torres get? 27?

Finishing is NOT shooting. . . . . .Get some perspective.
If finishing is shooting they wouldn't have judged their heading ability.
Shooting, shot accuracy, heading all fall under finishing so i dunno what you are ON about.

Rooney can shoot better than Torres.
Torres is a beast in the box(no doubt about that) but he is useless outside the box unlike Drogba, Rooney, Henry and Van Persie.
Don't be deceived. . . . .

Eastbay:
Sauron,
If that's the case,how come they've been jumping from one owner to the other?All the owners have been touted as millionaires.

Of course, interested investors want the club to be more desperate.
They will want some bad eggs to be removed from the club and some shyte cleaned up before they punt.

ritchboy:
Rooney's finishing 9? It must be on a scale of 9-19

Read well na. . . . . .It says SHOOTING not finishing!!!
It means long range efforts and short-range.

U cannot deny Rooney's shots.
The goal against Newcastle in his debut season with United was a master-class.

Without a shadow of any doubt, ASA is class.
She did a duet with 9ice on 9ice's new album and that song was off the chain.
I mean. . . . .ASA is the Lauryn Hill of Nigeria as far as singing and the use of musical instrument are concerned.

Nneka is more famous all over the world though.

Ibime:
Please. . . what backroom staff?. . . the likes of Dominic Iorfa?. . . dont make me laugh!
All you gonna see is NFF choosing players for GH. . . knowing how incompetent and corrupt NFF is, you can expect some discredited names to be recommended.
I can still remember how Bora Milutinovic took over just before France 1998. . . we were struggling for a right-back, and with his limited knowledge of Nigerian football, he picked the worst right-back ever to play for Nigeria. . . . Mobi Oparaku!!!

Ibime, stop talking when we are discussing Nigerian Football cos you know nowt!!!
Oparaku made the list because the best RB in the country then(Jero Shakpore) broke his arm in a friendly match before the world cup.
Guus Hiddink is no grade-C manager that the FA can boss around. . . . . .They have been able to boss previous managers around cos those ones are not bigger than the job. Hiddink is bigger than the whole of Africa so trust me. . . .he will command the respect of all and sundry.

Hiring a foreign manager involves sitting him down and washing your dirty laundry in public by telling him that we have 40 year olds parading as 25 year-olds. How do the Presidential taskforce hope to achieve their aim of "clearing the team of old legs" without risking political fall out? This is an in-house issue which SiaSia and other local coaches know about, and we dont need to go through any "testing" phase again. By the end of Nations Cup, at least Amodu had realised what all Nigerians had been telling him, namely that Yobo, Yakubu, Olofinjana etc were tired legs. . . .and that Kaita is the best DM in Nigeria by a long shot. . . . this is a process we would have to go through all over again with a foreign manager.

40 year olds parading as 25 ain't a new phenomenon.
Brazil is a classic example. Roberto Carlos' mother said something about his son is much older than what FIFA say he was and reh reh reh.
Why should age come into play in a competition as huge as world cup. . . .It ain't an age grade competition.
It's either you know how to play or not.

Eastbay:
Even Chelsea will be deducted 3 points for their win over Pompey.
It's across board.It's highly unlikely Pompey will recover before the 7 days adjournment.

They will bail em out.
Around the corner lies another millionaire waiting to splash his dough on em.

Ibime:
Stop yarning trash. . . SiaSia is proven at 2 tournaments and that takes precedence over his hastily and ill-contrived appointment to the under-20's which we all recognised was a set-up from day one.

Proven at 2 tournaments that are age-grade competitions.
If Yemi Tella was still alive, you will be advocating for him as well.
What is your IQ, Ibime?

If your foreign coach is appointed (with only one game to the world cup) you can be guaranteed that he is just gonna look at a list of Super Eagles players and pick the ones that play for the biggest clubs. Hence you can expect a return to the automatic selection of old wastepipes like Yakubu and Yobo. Does a foreign coach know the players we have available?

Guus Hiddink has worked in Countries that are not football giants and he excelled there.
What does it take to know the players available in football? Guus won't be working alone.
There will be back room staff whose main task is to discover unearthed gems far and near. . . . .What do you this is?

I am not a Football Manager but i can name 2000 undiscovered gems in Croatia, France, Spain, Italy, England and Gambia.
Siasia will take as much time as a foreign handler to acclimatise or adapt to a new role that involves scouring for talents that will make the 23-man squad. If you think he can do well with his under-20 boys at the World Cup then you need to see your shrink!!!

FBS:
Agreed he made those blunders and dented his CV but heck me thinks he is still better than Sir Amodu.

If I were to choose then GH will be my choice but his agent should get off his high horse first.

Onigbinde is better than Sir Amodu so obviously Siasia is streets ahead of Amodu.
But this is the World Cup where intelligent football managers will be doing battle and outfoxing one another.
We need a manager who can mix with the best without being tactically exposed. . . . .Nigeria have some good players and i believe a tested hand like Guus Hiddink will take us far in South Africa.

HNIC:
No need to argue with you.
Arsene Wenger,David Dein ,Gooners didn't nickname them 'the Invincibles.'
It was the MEDIA.
WHY?
They did what no other team has ever DONE in the modern era
And I DARE SAY, No other team MAY EVER do it again!

What did they do?
Despite being tagged the INVINCIBLES, they were not named the team of the decade. . . . .
The media named em Invincibles but what Chelsea and Man Utd have done AFTER 2003/4 puts a stain on the sheets of Wenger's record in 03/04.

That Arsenal side ended up drawing a lot of games towards the end of the season.
To be unbeaten is a great achievement, but for a title winning side to draw 12 games takes a little sheen off the achievement.
The 49 games is an incredible run, but it ran over three seasons (and only yielded one title).

The fact that they fell apart at the end of 02/03 and they fell away in 04/05 after losing to Man Utd really casts doubt over their mental fortitude.
They also never won the European Cup. I'll not argue that aesthetically, their football was brilliant - I loved watching Cole, Pires and Henry weave magic down the left, with Ljungberg coming in off the right and Bergkamp orchestrating. It was a beautifully balanced side.

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea went through a season losing only once and yet they took more points than Arsenal did in their Invincible season.
They failed in Europe too, though Mourinho would point to a huge dose of bad luck - the ghost goal. Their defensive record of only 15 league goals conceded was phenomenal.

One thing I'd say about that team was that they were so ruthless and so efficient, that for a 2 year spell they basically looked unbeatable.
Even the great United and Arsenal sides have always shown a semblance of fallibility.
For a period, Chelsea just didn't look like they'd ever lose. 1-0 up was always game over.

The United double winning team was the most brilliant: the best centre back pairing in the world.
The triumvirate of Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez. The goals flowed and we lost out to Pompey in the FA Cup in remarkable circumstances. The one thing I'd say about our title triumph that season is that it was a competitive title race with Arsenal and Chelsea both heavily involved.

On top of that, they won 3 EPL titles in a trot and reached 2 European finals without stress.

From Telegraph. . . . .

Shooting
Rooney: Used to specialise in spectacular efforts from outside the box but that changed when he started playing higher up the pitch. Still packs a knockout punch but has added some subtlety this season to his finishing. 9

Drogba: Lets fly from all sorts of angles, often hitting it early to catch the keeper off balance. Like Rooney, much stronger on his right foot and has developed a devastatingly effective technique at free-kicks. 9

Heading
Rooney: As proved by Everton’s Tim Cahill, you don’t have to be tall to be good in the air. Rooney has worked hard on this aspect of his game, gaining reward with three headed goals this term. 7

Drogba: At 6’2”, you could argue that Chelsea’s powerhouse should score more goals with his head. That said, he’s certainly no slouch in this area, particularly when defending, often clearing danger with a thumping effort. 8

Hold-Up Play

Rooney: Second to none. His touch, movement and awareness of space give team-mates in possession an easy option. Does this, what’s more, closer to goal these days, which is always harder. 9

Drogba: A one-man battering ram who can safely gather long, hoisted balls through overwhelming strength and pace. His touch might not be as well-honed as Rooney’s, but, in the heat of battle, that’s no comfort to defenders. 8

Work rate
Rooney: Always a selfless team player who never stopped running, he now channels that energy in the areas that count. A manager’s dream who, on any given day, is prepared to bust a gut. 10

Drogba: Doesn’t take so much part in the build up as Rooney, preferring to stay on the shoulder inside the width of the box. As a result, he won’t be in a rush to close down the full-back. 8

Discipline
Rooney: Has cleaned up his act with regard to lunging tackles and berating the referee. Still likes a moan, mind, and a few snarled expletives but not anything like the angry lad of old. 7

Drogba: Thankfully, the embarrassing playacting has been significantly cut. Those dying swan routines show up less frequently. Still loves a perceived injustice or a running feud but, at 31, appears to have matured. 7

Total
Rooney: 42
Drogba: 40

BREAKING NEWS: Barcelona Reach Verbal Agreement With Arsenal Captain Cesc Fabregas

Ope oooooo , At last

This will give Arsenal fans hypertension o.

IykeD:
Please house, i need those who have studied/know very well about these unis to leave a line or two. I plan applying for a masters degree for an IT course in our one of these unis, please let me know which i should go for with strong reasons based mainly on Academic History, Acceptability, Recognition, Links & Prospects etc.

The schools in Focus are :

Kingston University
Uni of Westminster
Middlesex Uni
London Met Uni

Your views will indeed help a confused brother. Thanks!

They are all shyte institutions.
7 years ago, they were all polytechnics until the secretary of Education decided to upgrade all tertiary institutions to Universities.
I wouldn't advise anyone to attend any Uni on that list.

Look for schools outside London and if you must stay in London. . . .
Imperial College
London School of Economics
University College London and
King's College should be your destination.

HNIC:
Hmmmn,you meant by scummie logic
let's see.
AW's team are regarded as the 'Invincibles' till this day.
What are the chavs of 04/05 season known as

INVICIBLES ma backside.
Great teams dominate over a period of time not in one season of flukey games and biased referees.
Mourinho's team dominated from 2004 till 2007. The current United team have dominated the league since 2007 till date.
The Invincibles did Bleep all with their dominance. They only won a league title and they were ra[i]p[/i]ed in the FA cup(Man Utd), Carling Cup(Middlesboro) and in the UCL(Chelsea).

Ibime:
If we are gonna sack Amodu, we better hire SIASIA, otherwise ITS BEST WE KEEP AMODU.

Those useless thieves at the glass house dont want SIASIA because he doesnt brook no nonsense when it comes to godfatherism and picking old and tired legs.

What can a foreign coach do with so little time to a tournament? Does a foreign coach know our database of available players, and which players have 10 years VAT on their passport?

If a footie federation want to appoint a coach, they dont draw up shortlist and all this megedefegede, they simply identify the right man and make the approach.

Imagine idiots like Lulu and Ogunjobi inviting the likes of Hiddink and Trappatoni for interview? Can an illiterate interview a professor? What kind of questions do they want to ask Hiddink and Trappa?

It is a shame that Super Eagles fans should know more about football administration than the administrators themselves.

Ibime, you must be talking outta ya grimey ass.
Are we talking about the same Siasia that was tactically exposed in the last youth tournament?
The same Siasia that it took 10 mins to replace an injured defender when his team was under attack?
Thanx but no thanx. . . . .Siasia is tactically inept at this level. . . . . .Nigeria needs a foreign handler in the World Cup.

Now to the list. . . . . . . .Personally, i think either Bruno Metsu or Guus Hiddink will do.
These managers have a history of doing a quick action service for national teams in the 3rd world countries with a decent performance.
If the NFF get their act together in time and appoint either one of these guys, Nigeria stand a better chance @ the World Cup.

We have the tools(talents), all we need is technical hands to tweak the team in a way to bring out the best out of the players.
Sacking Amodu is the best decision the NFF have made this millennium.
Without a coach at the ACN, the SE were good enough to have clinched the 3rd position by default. . .Amodu is a wastepipe!!!

Dana Walsh is a twunt!!!
Renee Walker is a retard. She nearly killed Jack by stabbing him with a butcher's knife.

HNIC:
I would have sworn that he inherited Vieira and Henry also.
How about Kolo Toure,Sol Campbell,Pires,Ljungberg,Lauren,Petit etc?
They were inherited also

These ones are peripheral players.

Lucky Manager won the league in 03/04 without losing a single match.
Damn,AW should transfer some of that luck to humanity!
Damn,this loss to Chelski is revealing lots of stuff!
Unbelievable gibberish!

Wenger won the league with 26 wins and 12 draws. . . . .I repeat 12 draws!!!!
Mourinho won the title with 29 wins, 8 draws and 1 loss in 2004/5 season.
By all logic, Jose Mourinho's record shytes on Arsenal's unbeaten run.

duduspace:
Jack Wilshere started for Bolton today, anyone watching the match I'm at work but should catch it on Football first later.

Another Wenger's embryo that is proving to be shyte!!!
GAYnners are deluded with this French pedo named Wenger. . . .
He is gradually taking Arsenal into mediocrity.

The so called success that GAYnners keep harping about that Wenger brought to Arsenal is a huge myth.
Letz face it. . .He inherited 95% of the players that brought the success. Players like Seaman, Bergkamp, Bould, Keown, Adams, Ian Wright, etc.
He blended Henry/Vieira into the mix and he got lucky!!!  Since the departure of Vieira, Arsenal have won nothing.

I stumbled on this statistic and you gotta admit Wenger is a massive disgrace.
Since the Arsenal's unbeaten season when the players he inherited were still in their full pomp, they have played Chelsea(15 times) and United(18 times) in all competitions.

Against Chelsea:
P15 W2 D4 L9 F12 A25

Against Man Utd:
P18 W3 D4 L11 F16 A29

In total. . . . .
Arsenal have played 33 times against Chelsea and Man Utd in all competitions since 2003/4.
Wenger only won 5 games, drew 8 [/b]and [b]lost 20. His team scored 28 and conceded 54 goals in that period.
There's a reason this team is yet to win anything since 2004/5 season.

debosky:
You are way off base - If Clichy left things AS THEY WERE there would be NO GOAL. That is the only fact that matters.

Defending OUTSIDE the box should never take precedence over actions in the box. You are simply looking to excuse the inexcusable.

If Clichy simply did HIS JOB and stayed on the post, no goal!

Clichy was 1000% culpable for Drogba's first goal.
He had to be a slowpoke leaving the post he was manning.
Managers ring it time n time again that manning the post is better than man-marking the opponents in a corner-kick situation.

Denilson woulda easily scored an own goal against Man Utd but with Nasri manning his post, he was able to clear the ball easily.
These are basic principles of defending. 9 out of 10 headers aimed at goal from corner kicks are always directed towards the post.
Wenger should reduce Clichy's wages for his stupidity on Sunday.

tkb417:
u dey mind dem
they said we wont do nothn after selling CR7 and lettin Tevez leave

now they want to break Rooneys leg b4 they can win

na wa o

Don't you know United are a one man team since Beckham left?

It used to be Beckham. . .then it was. . . .

Ruud
Keane
Ronaldo
Vidic
Rio
Giggs
Fletcher
and now Rooney!!!

By next month, it will be NANI.

Ibime:
A look at Arsenal accounts show that some of you are right - Wenger not spending due to Emirates stadium debt is a ruse.

Every season, Highbury brought in £44m less operating costs

Now Emirates brings in £90m less operating costs

Emirates is serviced by £20m repayments per year so Emirates brings in £70m less operating costs.

From £44m to £70m, means Arsenal are actually making more money from their stadium than before, whilst still covering the costs of building the stadium.

So what is Wenger acting all miserly for?

MIRACLES!!!!
Ibime can now see the LIGHT.
