chamotex: I hope Rafael is fit tomorrow...I don't want to see Smalling playing RB

Manchester United may be without Rafael, who has an ankle problem.

Jonny Evans and Michael Carrick may return after respective back and calf problems, but Danny Welbeck is still out with a knee injury.

Manchester United VS Arsenal quote for Super Sunday Match....

"Manchester United have improved a lot of late too, but I still think their manager David Moyes will be a little bit cautious and try to make sure they don't get beaten.

"If Arsenal go there and win - something they have done a lot of on their travels recently - then Moyes is back to square one."

As we all await tomorrow Super Sunday match derby between Manchester United and Arsenal, I decided to post the match review so that you people will be able to have details and insight of player who will play tomorrow and those who will not play and also those who are have injuries.

Arsenal are confident Mathieu Flamini will be fit despite a recent groin problem, while Jack Wilshere's ankle injury will be assessed.
Theo Walcott, Yaya Sanogo, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lukas Podolski and Abou Diaby all remain sidelined by injury.

Sunday marks the 142nd anniversary of one of history's most famous meetings. It didn't take place at Old Trafford, but 4,400 miles away on Lake Tanganyika.

New York journalist Henry Stanley walked out of the jungle and greeted a Scottish medical missionary with the now famous words: "Dr Livingstone, I presume?"

Another Scot is on a mission these days. David Moyes is trying to rediscover the lost soul of Manchester United.
One minute he must think he's found the source of power that took his predecessor to 13 titles, the next moment he knows more work is needed to rekindle that burning fire of old.

But improvement is being made. They are unbeaten in eight matches. Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie have 16 goals between them.
Rooney has scored 12 league and cup goals against the Gunners, including a hat-trick in the 8-2 hammering of 2011. He was also accused of diving to win a penalty in the infamous "Pizzagate" clash that ended the Arsenal Invincibles' unbeaten run of 49 games in 2004.
The previous year, Martin Keown and Ruud van Nistelrooy had sparked a nasty confrontation. It's been ugly. It's been beautiful.
Few will forget Ryan Giggs' legendary FA Cup semi-final goal in 1999. It took the Double away from London to Manchester, setting up United for their famous Champions League victory and changing the course of football history.

This current Arsenal side are also good enough to become European champions, according to Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp. The Gunners are balanced, stylish, full of goals and more secure at the back.
They were excellent in beating Liverpool but this will be the acid test.

United have flunked their big tests so far against Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City. Another defeat would leave them 11 points behind the Gunners and the title would be gone.

But I can't see them scoring enough to win a tight game. The movement of Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla will create something special. I'll take one of them to net in a 1-1 draw, proving Arsenal's title credentials are solid.

However, a home victory would mean we recognise an old force emerging again - "United, I presume?"

MATCH FACTS

HEAD-TO-HEAD

The Red Devils have lost just one of their last 12 league and cup games against the Gunners (W9, D2, L1).

This will be Arsene Wenger's 50th game against United as Arsenal manager. He has won 15 of the previous 49 (excluding penalty shoot-outs).

MANCHESTER UNITED

The Red Devils have won back-to-back Premier League games for the first time under manager David Moyes.

Fourteen of United's last 19 league goals have been scored or assisted by Robin van Persie or Wayne Rooney.

Patrice Evra will become the third Frenchman to make 250 Premier League appearances, following in the footsteps of Arsenal duo Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira.

ARSENAL

Victory would give Arsenal their highest ever points tally after 11 Premier League matches.

Arsenal are the only Premier League club to have scored in every game this season. The last team to shut-out the Gunners was David Moyes' Everton in a 0-0 draw at the Emirates on 16 April.

Prior to this weekend, only five players had assisted four or more Premier League goals this season - and three of them were Arsenal players (Olivier Giroud, Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey).

Ramsey has 11 goals in 17 league and cup games for Arsenal this term, and 13 in 21 for club and country.

Arsene Wenger has registered 14 Premier League victories against Moyes - his highest tally against any manager.

Nov2: Pls is there anybody that sat for toefl around September? Have u checked of recent, if yes, do u still have ur result or what. Cuz when I checked my profile on toefl websites all my details where still available jt dat d only thing was display was Result NOT AVAILABLE. And I called the agent that helped me what he said was it only those that have not written d test that are affected with dis EST stuff. So pls I want to know ao true it is, so I can know what to do.

Bro, am sorry to ask you this questions below;

1, do you runs your toefl?
2, what do u score in your toefl?
3, where do u write your toefl exam?
4, do u write it via first logic?

The questions above will determine why your result was removed because this toefl of a thing is getting too much and what i can say is that those that registered through place/agents and ETS noticed that those place/agents are linked with exam fraud/malpractise maybe that was the reasons why they removed their results and leave the rest of the people results which they feel that they dont have traces to exam fraud/malpractices through those place/agents where they were registered

Graviton: i am at the testing centre right now, it seems there won't be any exams.

i'll keep hoping and praying.
ETS, you have jeopardized the lives of countless nigerian students, e be like say na IETLS sure pass

Bro... Do u see any sign that exam will hold at your centre?

nomso27: reverse ? Have u submitted ur ds-160 yet ? If u've nt then u still hv d chance to make changes.

Even though he have submitted the ds160, he can still fill another ds160 again. All he need is for him to go to booking appointment website and insert the new ds160 code there and update his profile over there.

ikaboy: Yes, she is my blood sister. she is married and a citizen. My just competed ds160 is indicating that i dont have a sibling in the US. and if the vo ask. i intend telling him that i used to have but she has since returned to Nigeria.

Guys please advise. Gurus the boss, are u there?

If am not wrong, I think the first time u filled ur DS160 u claimed that u have a sister in USA and u were denied... Right?

Now u filled another DS160 and cliamed that u dont have a sister in USA.... Right?

Is that's what u have done? Well my brother am sorry to say u are heading to another denial because the first DS160 record was there on their record/system..

So i will advise u to stick back to what u filled in the first DS160 and then explain to the VO if he/she ask if u have sister in USA cos who knows if your sister already file ur name before?

Walecrsyler: honourable house. pls i need everyone's opinion on this.

Hey bro, dont worry about that if they truly make the payment for you it will reflect real soon cos it usually take 7-10 at Bleep u paid through just have patience till Tuesday/wednesday cos Monday is holiday in USA.

nomso27: can i get one way ticket to maryland ?

How much cn i get ticket to NY ?

Yes you can get one way ticket to maryland and ticket to NY should be below 130k and u can connect from NY to maryland with less than $200 but direct one way ticket direct to maryland should be from 180k upward...

nomso27: House i hail!

Please do i purchase a one way flight ticket or 2way ?

Please what site can i purchase cheap tickets ?

Well it depend on you and your plans.. Although one way ticket will be okay since u can get cheaper flight via emirate but i advise u to fly to NY first then u get a ticket from NY to the state you are going which will be cheaper cos if you want to get direct flight is very expensive..

Nov2: To the gurus in d house abeg I need una help, was refused visa in Aug, and planned going back to collect my visa now. But while filling d ds 160 I was asked if have being refused visa b4 and said yes but d question is what reason ll I give for d visa refusal? Pls kindly help. And to nomso27 congratulations, can't wait to share my own gud news with guys

Am sure everyone are always denied with section 214b which means no strong home tier.. Why cant you just state that as the reason because a paper on that is always given to people and am sure that's what the VO would have stated on their system? I think you should state what Imperiouxx said earlier and also include 214b along with it. I hope this count and help?

some posts are funny

nice tips!!!

Mr Aboki: Hahahahaaaa...


This guy sure is a player hater.

Anybody wey go school abroad does not need JAMB. #Fact!
So because you suffered through JAMB and graduated with a Second Class Upper does not make you any better than the guy who didnt write JAMB but school in the U.K or the US and graduated with the same degree from a University that has a world ranking 1000 time + higher than your Nigerian JAMB university.

If a Foreign Graduate gets a Job ahead of you a local graduate, its simply because he aced the test set by the recruiting agency, not because he didnt write JAMB.


You are so focused on JAMB that you have forgotten that the degree that you graduate from school with and the Knowledge you acquire from your Tertiary education has got ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the standardized test you wrote in order to gain admission.


Maybe if you had read the OP's post with a little more understanding, you would have realized that what he was attacking wasnt JAMB, but the kind of half-baked universities that our Nigerian Students attend abroad all in the name of going to a University.



Stop focusing on something as irrelevant as JAMB. Focus on the quality of education you acquire in the University. I wrote JAMB and JAMB never released my test scores because they messed up my application. I waited yet another year and went through the registration process yet again only for JAMB to mess up my application again. I dumped the useless examination. I have never had cause to write any external examination twice in my life. I aced my WAEC and my SATs.. My folks couldnt afford the tuition in the West so they sent me to Ghana where I got an education.

If you must focus on JAMB, focus on the flaws associated with JAMB. JAMB is part of the problem with our education system in Nigeria. Over 60% of Nigerian graduates did not graduate with a degree from the course that they filled out in their JAMB forms, rather JAMB tells them you are not brilliant enough to read your chosen course, so indirectly forces them to go read alternative courses that they had no interest in at all.



I'm sorry but you sound like one of the reasons why parents bend back triple time to send their kids abroad to get educated.


DONT HATE THE PLAYER, HATE THE GAME.. JAMB is not a true test of knowledge.

I am sure you didnt understand my previous comment and you are just saying something else.. I wish you could read it again and think from another direction and you will surely understand it better.

Bold parts,

I can see you are wrong there why would you contradict your post by yourself.. Imagine what you said in bold part 1 and Bold part 2, I am sure you are a confused person since you admitted that a foreign graduate aced test during recruiting exercise more than our local graduate and you still went on and said our Nigerian Students attended half-baked University abroad. If i may ask are u supporting or against student studying abroad cos i am supporting them if you dont know since you read my post wrongly.

What you simply mean is that our Nigerian students who attended half-baked university abroad aced test above our local graduate who is not half-baked.. Can't you see that you are still repeating what i said in my previous post

Am sure you must be sleeping when typing your comment. People like you are castigating student who didnt write Jamb who are studying abroad. FYI i am not talking about Jamb in my previous comment but am explaining to people like you to imagine someone who failed jamb 4 years ago but now the person is far far above someone who wrote jamb 4 years ago because that person went abroad to learnt where they have good curriculum, no strike e.tc.

My brother lets say the truth cos our educational system here is not good anymore cos our politician have mortgage it

kunlebal: Thanks pally
I just they observe, visa approved

Congrat bro.. I dey come your house this evening to celebrate with you..!!!

vivysparkles: Hian! What was the reason for closing nigerian centers again??

I guess it was due to exam misconducts and malpractices!!

lol

enigma_otr: Yes, I graduated from Unilorin. And yes, we had many coursemates who are lecturers children in our class. Even VCs' children study there.
Honestly, it's only those who can't stand the competition in public schools like Unilorin that go to private Universities.

I already knew your answer will be that they attend same university with you but the big question is did their children attended public primary and public secondary school before they gained admission to Unilorin?

enigma_otr: One of my lecturers once said it, that Nigerian Universities are better than those in Ghana. It's true, coz I know the standards in the two countries.
Mind you! The school I graduated from, doesn't go on strike. You wont spend more than 3.5years for a 4year course. So, why go to Ghana

Sorry to ask which public university are you referring to? I guess it is Unilorin you can spend less than 3.5 years for a 4 years duration course.
Ask you lecturer why he/she is sending his/her children to private school either primary or secondary or university? This will prove that Nigerian Schools are better than those in Ghana..

Obrafour: Whatever that JAMB and POST-UME may mean to you Nigerians, we Ghanaians care less. We have our own
standards and we shall not share or suffer your difficulty and inability of your leaders to provide education for all Nigerians, no
blanket statement equalizing issues will be accepted.
Of course, it is no secret that the
Ghanaian system of education is the envy of all others anywhere who know its worth. Those in Nigeria trying to belittle it are wasting their time and energy, its an open secret
that most nigerians including the Operator of this Thread are unhappy about the mass movement of nigerians to study in Ghana, but why denigrate an innocent country's education system and leave out the failure of your government? We in Ghana value our educational certificate and if you feel peeved about it, I urge you to petition your authorities not to recognise Certificates from Ghana.
How many Ghanaian teachers haven't
flocked into Nigeria since the 1970s to
teach Nigerian students and help improve that system of education? Has Ghana ever had any influx of Nigerian educators?
Please, why pick on Ghana when you equally have Nigerians in other countries pursuing higher education?

Don't mind my fellow Nigerians cos they are not wise up yet. All what they do it to charge their phone and browse nairaland and starts posting gibberish comments.

Imagine a serial Jamb failure graduated before you but you first them entered university
Imagine a serial Jamb failure got a job before you
Imagine a serial Jamb failure parent get money pass your own parent and they sent their pikin go Ghana go school
Imagine a serial Jamb failure get experience and exposure pass you
Imagine a serial Jamb failure get exposure pass you
Imagine a serial Jamb failure have connection pass you because if u no get connection in this world u can connect at all
Imagine a serial Jamb failure carry 1st class/2nd class upper come from Ghana but you get 2nd class lower and they honoured a serial jamb failure pass you during job interview

Well i cant shout at all cos some of us are not intellectual at all.. I dont care if all of you curse me but its the truth and i cant hide this cos education in my country have been mortgage
