SportsRe: Name Your Favourite Double Strike Force. by smartoliver(m): 4:04pm On Mar 02, 2022
He didn't specifically say midfielders, he wrote double strike force. Btw, Son can play as a AMF, SS, RWG. Bergkamp played mostly as a second striker but also played as a LWG and AMF. Thus they have both played as midfielders
Vinnie2000:
But Son and Bergkamp are not midfielders!
SportsRe: Name Your Favourite Double Strike Force. by smartoliver(m): 12:44am On Feb 27, 2022
The best of duos usually consist a midfield and a striker thus :

Lampard and Drogba


Son and Harry kane


Gerrard and Torres


Henry and Begkamp

God bless you man. And God bless your wife. That's the kind of woman we all pray for. I hope you show her from time to time how much you appreciate her. And also, God bless your kids. I pray the good news never stops. Keep going, remember it doesn't end here
Mike1stSon:
Hey family.

I have been a very long time member of this family, just created this for privacy.

I feel very happy to announce this here but before then...

Hear my this little story.

From 2007 to 2012, I was a cleaner collecting 25k monthly in the office and was allowed to go to school because I showed interest.

Served in Ebonyi in 2013, and still working with the same company, was not regular NYSC type but grace saw me through, despite that, I have forgone my N19500 monthly allowee.

After my NYSC, was moved to a warehouse and placed under a salary of 54k from 2013 to 2015.

Got married between 2015, resigned, and got another job for 100k in between 2016.

Sacked after 1 year because the company was closing up due to bad economy under Buhari.

Stayed unemployed with my wife who took over the family responsibility for 1 and half years of unemployment from school fees, feeding, bills and transport fares for job interviews with 4 kids at that time.

All these were done by my wife through her frozen food and foodstuff business in a rented shop in Lagos.

My breakthrough came around March 2019, was called for an interview in a construction company with a salary of 70k as a store officer, remember that I am a graduate.

70k and you will be moved straight to Ebonyi State, to Isu Nkwo/Agba community for road construction from Lagos. For 70k!!!

My wife advised me that I should take the job, and gave me 10k as pocket money to start.

Thank God for the WhatsApp video call that kept us together with 4 kids for 8months and I returned to Lagos....please for clarity's sake we usually do return to Lagos from time to time.

From 2019 to 2022, my salary had been increased from 70k to 150k in 2021.

Got an email today, from HR that my salary has been increased to 250k.

Isn't that wonderful?

This long article is to encourage someone out there.

No matter how small the salary is, please continue with hard work and dedication.

Before I forgot, I won the CEO Award for the most dedicated staff of the year for the last year 2021 with a cash prize of 300k.

Pls, keep, keeping on ladies and gentlemen here.

And most importantly, be loyal to your wife and dedicated to your family.

Your immediate family will always stand by you when your friends are gone during your trials time.

Peace.....

Don't mind my errors.....

Was just thinking about this life sha.....

SportsRe: Super Eagles Drop Osimhen & Shehu, Invite Four New Players For AFCON by smartoliver(m): 2:25pm On Dec 31, 2021
So he should put himself and others at risk just because he wants to please ungrateful people like you? Someone who played his best for us during the qualifiers, why won't he want to partake in the competition itself? Did you see the nasty injury he suffered on his face? He even had to go on surgery and still managed to recover before the tournament
. I bet if he never contracted covid, he won't be fit enough to play the first two matches of Afcon. It's best he stays out. It's not just about the isolation period, it takes nothing less than three weeks for a covid patient to be diagnosed safe enough to perform as normal. Just chill out man.
shadrach77:
Why is he testing positive for Covid now that AFCON is just around the corner.

The guy never wanted to partake in AFCON from the start.

Isolation period is only 7 days and the competition is not starting till the 10th so what's his problem?

SportsRe: First Coutinho, Now Wijnaldum - Leaving Liverpool Has Become A Dangerous Move by smartoliver(m): 1:10pm On Dec 16, 2021
A move not favoring a player doesn't mean his former coach was the only reason that player used to perform. That's very myopic to say the least. So many players have left Klopp to become better, Lewandowski, Gotze, Auba to name a few. Coutinho and Wijnadum are just two of so many players whose moves didn't favor them. Infact, Wijnadum was never as good as his move to PSG made him seem, he has always been a second choice with Klopp. Klopp is good, but he's less of a reason Coutinho or Wijnadum didn't perform well at their present clubs.

That's your opinion bro but for me it is wrong, true, Lampard failed in grooming Werner and Kai but both have been always good until Chelsea. It may or may not have been Lampard's fault. Even some of the best players had their down times, this shit happens and it can be attributed to so many things not just the coach. You can't say that Wenger always groom youngies to world class, he had a truck load of failures in his latter years. Even Klopp is suffering the same fate right now. There is always a down time. Not all players can be as lucky or good as Ronaldo and Messi just to name the best.
thatgirl504:
Lampard was a total failure in the transfer market. From the waste called Kai Harvetz to the defensive striker called Timo Werner.

That's why I really respect Arsene Wenger, who gets a relatively unknown player for a cheap fee, groom the player into a world class material.

Same thing Jurgen Klopp is doing at Liverpool.

If Chelsea could get this boy and a reliable creative midfielder like James Madison, then Manchester City will have to handover the crown to the Blues.

EducationRe: I Regret Going To The University by smartoliver(m): 3:03pm On Dec 31, 2020
My guy, the only reason you can think as reasonable as this is because you went to school. There are alot of realities you fail to understand which became possible through the same education. Not to overrule your judgment but just so you know, your thought pattern today that makes you realize certain things comes from the fact that you are educated. Self discovery isn't something that is dictated by one's literacy. Be educated and discover yourself. It's not rocket science. I feel most of us are very myopic in judging certain things. And that's just unfortunate.
Biggie225:
The education system, that is supposed to teach young people fundamental facts and skills in order to allow them to deal properly with reality, is unfortunately also heavily used to indoctrinate the young to be passive, to not question authority, and to trust the government and their experts on TV without question.

The education system is often used as a filter to weed out the free-thinkers, rebels, “unconventionals” and promote the passive, conventional and compliant ones to the next level.

Students are compelled to believe everything the teacher says, without verification. The words of the education system became the guiding truth for youngsters. Usually, schools have unwritten rules regarding specific subjects that cannot be discussed. Some topics are illogically labeled as vulgar or foolish, and those who have interest in those subjects are often publicly ridiculed.

They condition student to believe that failure to submit to the system will have serious consequences. No employment, poverty, and no future.

Also, the quality of education that is available to the lower social classes is reduced most of the time, which contributes to a gradual increase in the gap that exists between lower classes and the elite.

Like Most popular and wealthy figures such as Zukerberg, Jark Dorsey, Bezos, C Ronaldo, Messi, Micheal Jordan, Michael Jackson, and Maradona etc. Non of these figures can boast of university degree but they had the courage to pursue their path to greatness with their natural instinct. Today all are legends in their own path.
Education is overrated

Ever since realize that life has no central formular or rules. I created the life I want and with apologies.

Bleep the world and Discover yourself.
