Liverpool find themselves returning to the elite continental stage after a 4 year hiatus but could be in for a tough draw as they will be seeded in Pot 3.
There is a possibility of a return to Anfield for Luis Suarez, who moved from the Merseyside club to Nou Camp this summer. A mouth-watering group of death can pit the likes of Barcelona, PSG, Liverpool and AS Monaco all in one group.
The cash-rich owners at Manchester City are desperate for the club to have a strong run in Europe this year, and after an honorable showing in Europe last year, Manchester City has managed to push themselves into Pot 2 and will be expecting a more favourable draw this time around. That being said, they could possibly have to deal with one of Barcelona, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the group stage.
Regular semi-finalists and the last English side to win the coveted crown, Chelsea are firmly rooted in Pot 1 and will be hoping to avoid the likes of PSG, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund.
Arsenal managed to secure qualification for a seventeenth year running after defeating Besiktas in the last qualificationmatch last night.
All four English sides will be wishing to avoid the likes of AS Monaco and AS Roma who are seeded in Pot 4 and can have the squads to cause an upset in the group stages. They will also be hoping to avoid long distance travelling to the likes of Russia, Greece and Ukraine.
All this calls for an extremely interesting draw. Be sure to tune in at 16:30 pm UKT

to me i feel his presence will really boost the confidence of his new team mates but i really don't care that much cause am a chelsea fan and we have gotten our new messiahs in fabrepas and diego costa...chelsea for life the billionaire club

Manchester United have completed the signing of Real Madrid ace Angel Di Maria, who becomes the most expensive signing in Premier League history.

The Argentina international, who can play across the frontline and in midfield, moves to Old Trafford in a deal worth £59.7 million and is now the fifth costliest player ever.

The 26-year-old, who United hope can galvanise a squad that has picked up just a single point from their opening two league matches, has signed a five-year contract worth close to the £300,000-a-week earned by skipper Wayne Rooney.

Including wages, add-ons, bonuses and signing-on fees, the total cost of the deal could rise to as much as £150m.

Di Maria completed his medical on Tuesday having arrived at Carrington with his entourage late in the morning, while his agent had several hours of sit-down talks with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward in the afternoon to thrash out the final details of the contract.
The 20-time English champions have been chasing Di Maria for several weeks and were given a free run at the Argentine when Paris Saint-Germain pulled out of the race for his signature.

He has been itching for a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu since the arrivals of James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos shunted him down the Madrid pecking order, and was understood to be very keen on working with Louis van Gaal.

Di Maria played a key role for Los Blancos last season as they lifted the Champions League, while he recorded a division-high 17 assists in La Liga before finishing as a runner-up at the World Cup in Brazil.

The big-money deal takes United's summer spending to in excess of £130m, meaning they have now spent more than any other club in the world this summer, eclipsing Barcelona's £120m outlay.

They may not be finished there either, with a shaky and dysfunctional defence likely to be reinforced by the possible arrival of Ajax's Daley Blind, while Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal remains a long-term target.

MONROVIA: Liberia's leader has sacked ministers and senior government officials who defied an order to return to the west African nation to lead the fight against the deadly Ebola outbreak, her office said on Tuesday (Aug 26).
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf had told overseas ministers to return within a week as part of a state-of-emergency announcement on Aug 6, warning that the extraordinary measures were needed "for the very survival of our state".
Her office said in a statement that she had "directed that all officials occupying ministerial level positions or equivalent - senior and junior - managing directors, deputy/assistant directors or equivalent, commissioners et cetera who violated the orders are hereby relieved of their positions."
The statement did not say how many ministers were affected or which ones had been fired. But a government insider clarified that only deputy ministers and senior officials were involved in the cull, and not cabinet-level ministers. Those not occupying ministerial level positions but "holding important public offices" would have their pay docked until their return, the statement added.
"(Sirleaf) commends and appreciates all government officials and senior level public servants who observed the orders and returned to join the fight against deadly Ebola virus disease," it said.
United Nations officials have pledged to step up efforts against the lethal tropical virus, which has infected more than 2,600 and killed 1,427 since the start of the year. Liberia has suffered most since the outbreak of the deadly virus erupted earlier this year, with 624 deaths.

The State Security Service on Tuesday quizzed the president of the Nigeria Football Federation, Aminu Maigari and two other principal officials of the federation.
The other affected officials are – the NFF General Secretary, Musa Amadu, and the Chairman of the federation’s technical committee, Chris Green.
Maigari is expected to preside over the NFF general assembly slated for Tuesday, africanFootball.com reports.
Meanwhile, no less than 35 states Football Association chairmen defied threats by security operatives and marched to the SSS office in solidarity with Maigari.
“The FA chairmen refused to be cowed despite threat by heavily armed policemen that they will shoot them down if they leave the premises of the Chida hotel, Abuja,” an eyewitness told africanFootball.com.
“They left for the SSS office and had made it clear that Maigari will preside over Tuesday’s congress despite this open intimidation.”
World football governing body, FIFA, has already stated Maigari will lead the NFF congress.
This latest development comes few hours after the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim had resolved that a non-elective congress takes place in Abuja on Tuesday.
The congress is expected to design a road map for elections into the NFF executive committee.

well i just found out that deji badmus has gotten his own tv station but is online for now and by God grace will soon start showing on air.... www.tv360.com

Lucario007: This is very promising. For once, the Asians didn't sit down quietly while Americans blabbed thier mouth off. Let's say no to America and Yes to Asia.
Despite the fact that there has been no recorded case of Ebola on any Asian yet alone Japanese as of yet, they are already devising ways and means to battle the dreaded disease before it affects them. Now that is a country.
Also, OP can i get a source please?

every one is trying to make money out of this ebola crisis bringing up different untested drug here and there...well mine is that they should come up with a drug that will put an end to this ebola and also bear in mind that we are not lab rat ...na condition make cray fish bend

(Reuters)
Japan would like to offer a drug to help treat the deadly Ebola virus before the World Health Organization officially rules on its use, the country's top government spokesman said on Monday.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a news conference that Japan has received inquiries from some countries on the influenza drug favipiravir, or T-705 as it is known in the developmental code.
"I am informed that medical professionals could make a request for T-705 in an emergency even before a decision (on approval) by the WHO. In that case, we would like to respond under certain criteria," he said.
Japan's Fujifilm Holdings Corp and U.S. partner MediVector are in talks with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to submit an application to expand the use of favipiravir as a treatment for Ebola. [ID:nL4N0QH4ZR]
Following Suga's comments, Fujifilm shares rose 4.0 percent, edging near a four-year peak hit earlier this month. They were the eighth most actively traded shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's main board.
The Ebola epidemic in West Africa has killed more than 1,000 people and prompted the WHO to declare an international health emergency, reports Reuters.

well i guess with the few limited zmapp drugs the best thing our govt can do is to get in contact with manufacturers of this drugs and see how we can get them fast, considering the fact that it takes 2-3months to prepare the zmapp as regards this post that the experimental drug will take time to get prepared... https://www.nairaland.com/1867357/ebola-drug-5-reasons-experimental

i would be very happy if the nigeria govt can start making plans on how to get access to the manufacturers of the drug since the united states has given the aproval already and the liberia govt have started requesting for it......the only problem our country always have is being late in every thing we do and i just pray we are not late on this,considering the fact that it takes months for the zmapp drugs to be ready for use..

As the World Health Organisation declares a global health emergency over the Ebola epidemic, why can’t we have more of the only drug that seems to work against the dreaded disease? Here’s why getting experimental serum ZMapp out to infected people will be so slow.

1. The drug has only been made for lab tests so far – not for countering an epidemic
Less than 100 doses of the drug are currently available. So far the ZMapp serum has only been manufactured in quantities suitable for small-scale tests – most recently on 20 monkeys.However, it is effective – in limited animal tests so far ZMapp has been successful. When administered to monkeys one hour after infection, all animals survived. Two-thirds of the animals were protected even when the ZMapp treatment was administered 48 hours after infection.

2. ZMapp is made by a small San Diego pharmaceutical company, with only 9 employees…
Mapp has only nine employees – to put that into perspective, pharma giant Pfizer has 78,000. Mapp just doesn’t immediately have the capacity to scale up.“The manufacturer has been planning for phase 1 clinical trials and does not have the capacity to manufacture large quantities of the treatment,” says the US Center for Disease Control.

3. It’s not just a case of mixing some chemicals together
More importantly, making ZMapp is not a case of swirling some chemicals together in a test-tube. The monoclonal antibodies in ZMapp have to be produced from specially-grown and harvested cells.The special cells were initially made by fusing human cells with those taken from a mouse infected with ebola. After careful nurturing and selection, cells able to produce antibodies are cloned. These hybrid cells are then placed inside tobacco leaves. Why leaves? They act as a nurturing environment where the cells can reproduce and thrive. Initially mice were used to produce the antibody-rich liquid. Using leaves is quicker and cheaper.But even then, it’s not just a case of squeezing the leaves out – once the liquid is extracted from the leaves, it has to be purified and tested for strength.Then the antibodies have to be modified to be more acceptable to the human immune system.

4. The tobacco plants used in production take a month to grow
Tobacco plants have to be about a month old before they can be infected with the antibody cells. And then producing the antibody could take two weeks. A whole new batch will have to be commissioned and the agreement of the tobacco company who owns the plants will also have to be negotiated, especially if there is a drastic increase in the number of plants needed.The current production pipeline is only set up to create a small amount. Gearing up to produce larger quantities would have to start immediately, with several months until the final product is ready.Add in harvesting and purifying the antibodies and the New York Times says the total time is several months.Dr. Fauci of the Infectious Diseases Institute told the New York Times that even the current process in train won’t produce huge numbers of the serum. “You’re not talking about thousands of doses or even hundreds of doses,” he said.But once production is running at full tilt, it can keep going at that rate.“Starting from zero and going to 60 is not so easy, but once you’re at sixty you can keep going at that rate,” Dr. Whaley said. He would not say how many doses could be made and how quickly.

5. Setting up the infrastructure to administer the drugs correctly could take a long time
Then there’s the question of setting up the correct conditions for the serum to be shipped and administered. ZMapp needs to be kept at exactly the right temperature – and currently is administered via injection. These both add to the difficulty of rolling the cure into west African countries where health systems are already struggling.It’s an exciting new experimental drug, but the potential for getting it out to where it’s needed is painfully slow.
