Normally she should have taken the picture with MTN officials and she should be displaying an enlarged cheque showing the amount she won and official signature of whoever will sign the cheque...

TV/MoviesRe: Omotola Is The Highest Earning Actress In Nollywood by timbros(m): 10:59am On Nov 12, 2012
Jimbadly: Sir I think you should check the dictionary meaning of 'gross'. It specifically refers to the total amount earned by a movie. The writer of the article was very clear when they said the movie had grossed a total of 24 million at the theater. You do not need an interpreter to tell you that it refers to the amount made from the sale of the movie tickets at the cinemas and not the number of copies of the movies sold.
So what currency should we attach to thhe 24million? Naira? Pound? Dollar?....which?
TV/MoviesRe: Omotola Is The Highest Earning Actress In Nollywood by timbros(m): 10:29am On Nov 12, 2012
Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think the 24million refers to copies sold not 24million naira...

Maybe i'm wrong tho'

Phone/Internet MarketRe: MTN WOW Bonus. Confirmed Scam! User Beware!! by timbros(m): 7:41am On Nov 12, 2012
I wonder why yoou people are still using MTN anymore. Everyday complain complain complain and still using it. Is it today you find out MTN is scam? Its either you continue living with the scam of you leave the network entirely.

I have long dumped my MTN (yes, its my 'major' line but i had to do it). I sent out sms notifying my friends, family, customers etc of my current primary lines, Glo and Etisalat. Then i bought a Nokia torch, 2.5k, and put the MTN line. Its there on top of my fridge. Anytime i come back and see a missed call, i call back with glo or etisalat and tell the person to call me with this line next time.

That way, i dont have MTN wahala no more. I'm tired off all this MTN complain when there are other options. Telecommunication in Nigeria is not like Power where we have only PHCN. Anything they give you, you endure. No. We have options in networks today.

So dont come here complaining when you know what to do and how to solve the problem permanently.

thegoodjoehunt:
First of all Malaga finished ahead of Athletico Madrid (Europa League and Super Cup winners, even thrashing Chelsea) last season. They are not in the similar scenarios. In a group of death, you don't have any team to help you with points.

As for Mancini's inexperience excuse, you should know he is just shielding his players. This season, they came close to beating Madrid and Ajax. If those results favored Man City, the table will look different. That is the power of the group of death.
What is if? If we start using if here, the possibilities will be endless so just forget that 'if' and concentrate on what happened. What if the results has gone against them more than it is already? What if they lost the Ajax match? What if they lost all their matches so far with zero points? What if, what if....

The thing is, you dont understand my line of argument and i dont think i will continue with this. I keep repeating that i'm not comparing Malaga's squad to Man City. They both are in different levels. But my point is, if Malaga can make it in her level, why cant Man City make it in her own level?

Both are in similar situation. Malaga is least in her group and you argued that Man City is least in her own group . So if Malaga can top a group which they are least expected to qualify, why cant Man City?

Please stop misunderstanding me.

What has La Liga got to do with the subject under discussion? We are talking about champions league here and your refering me to La Liga? Chelsea lifted the champions league trophy, but what was their position in EPL?

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by timbros(m): 3:13pm On Nov 08, 2012
Andre Uweh: Man United caused us more morries against our left full back than Donesk did to our left full back. In the past, we use to have a Malouda type of player in front of the left full back. He shields and protects the full back. But at Chelsea, they do not want that, even when Bertrand plays in that role, fans are not happy.
During Malouda days, we play 4-3-3 but now its 4-2-3-1 and playing Bertrand in that role will mean benching one of the MAZACAR.. Its Mikel or Ramires that should be helping the full backs.

E.g Mikel falling back to help Bertrand/Cole when the opposition is attacking our left or Ramires helping out Ivanovic/Azpilicueta when the opposition is attacking through our right.

thegoodjoehunt: Please Napoli have been European Champions before. So how can they be debutants. Zenith and Anderlecht are bigger than Malaga. That doesn't change the fact that if they were in this Man City's group, they won't be high flyers.
Napoli are debutants in the new 'champions league' format...Thats what i mean.

Thanks for answering the question. If Malaga in a group containing bigger names (in the own level of 'big') than them and still perform fantastically, why not Man City?

Now i am not comparing Malaga's group to Man City's. Both groups are different. Yes Man City's groups is much tougher, but both of them are similar. Malaga is the least in their group but have already qualified due to their fantastic play. Man City (according to you) is the least in their group, why arent they doing well like Malaga in their own group? Mancini says inexperience. Where is Malaga's experience?

Which of these teams you have mentioned have excelled in a group of death? Beating Man Utd is not shocking the world.Man City beat Man U that season 6-1.

dayokanu: Man City is a disgrace.

Last year they crashed out in a group that had fellow debutant Napoli

Man City has players like Kompany, Clichy, Yaya, Silva, Tevez, Dzeko, Balotelli etc who have played several Champions league games

Many of those Ajax and Dortmund players are still rookies in the Champions league Yet Man City cant win a game out of 4.

Is Malaga not a new team? Are they not topping a group that has AC Milan?
Thats what im trying to explain to joe but he is here defending Man City...

Smh

thegoodjoehunt:
I am a very big fan of Eriksen. Last year, he took out the whole English midfield and won the man of the match. He has always been a top player. Man City did all they could to sign him but he turned Man City down.

It is only that only watch the EPL will write off Ajax. Last season, they were clearly robbed a clear victory and qualification into the Champions league quarter finals when two wonderful goals were chalked off. Last season they beat AC Milan at San Siro. So how won't someone confidently predict an Ajax Possible victory?

Dortmund vs Bayern Munich (One of the greatest teams of all time, last season Champions League finalist) head to head comparison with Borusia Dortmund.

12/08/12, 20:00 Bayern München - Borussia Dortmund FT 2 : 1 (2 : 0) (0 : 1)
12/05/12, 20:00 Borussia Dortmund - Bayern München FT 5 : 2 (3 : 1) (2 : 1)
11/04/12, 20:00 Borussia Dortmund - Bayern München FT 1 : 0 (0 : 0) (1 : 0)
19/11/11, 18:30 Bayern München - Borussia Dortmund FT 0 : 1 (0 : 0) (0 : 1)
26/02/11, 18:30 Bayern München - Borussia Dortmund FT 1 : 3 (1 : 2) (0 : 1)
03/10/10, 17:30 Borussia Dortmund - Bayern München FT 2 : 0 (0 : 0) (2 : 0)
Out of the last six meetings of Bayern Munich with Borusia Dortmund, Bayern manage to win only won and lost 5 to Dortmund and you felt Man City will work over Dortmund.

If you don't know before the draws, Dortmund were and are still one of the favorites to lift this years Champions League. They were are still highly rated over Manchester City.

Hope I answered your question.
So just because of Eriksen, you would have confidently predicted that Ajax will beat Man City hands down? Come on, lets be honest here. Where is his champions league experience? Infact, does the present Ajax team have champions league experience more than Man City squad?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: UCL: Manchester City Vs Ajax - (2 - 2) On 6th November 2012 by timbros(m): 7:03pm On Nov 07, 2012
thegoodjoehunt:
A goal and two clear penalties denied and you said it doesn't change anything. Please it changes a clear won match into a draw and loss. If Man Utd were favored to top the table, the truth still remains. If not for the favoritism of the referee, they won't be on top of the table and that is the truth.

The pots are there to avoid Scenarios like what Man City is facing but it still doesn't protect a case of Group of death like this case. If they had done the draw differently based on League winners, a group like the one you are talking of might have happened.

Real Madrid (Only Present League Champion)
Chelsea
Barcelona
Man Utd

Apart from Real Madrid, no other team won their league but they are seed as big teams (Uefa Coefficient).

I am not saying they don't share teams based on different regions. I am saying that even though Chelsea won the Champions League, the EPL is not the strongest league in the world.

Man Utd is the greatest EPL team of all time but Athletico Bilbao made them look like a low team from the Spanish Amateur division.

We saw this season how Athletico Madrid humiliated Chelsea.
You have come back to the reason why i refered to Malaga. These teams you mentioned are smaller on paper, yet they distroyed bigger teams. Why cant Man City do the same? Ok, lets agree that they are the smallest team in the group like your trying to make it look, why cant they emulate Bilbao, Atleti, Malaga etc to shock europe and qualify?
