I remember back in those days in boarding house. Some parents will bring their kids to the school and tell the principal to discipline their children really well.. that they are stubborn. This one papa will say, "This my boy Ike, he is very stubborn at home, I want you to deal with him if he acts up. deal with him for me" The Super Eagles is Iwobi's home. Arsenal is his school. Wenger, pls discipline him very well for us... So he will come out even better for us. goldfish80: 2 Likes |

Remember the name - Lee Johnson Lee Johnson bows out of the Carabao cup after giving Manchester City led by Pep Guardiola a tough game. A game which took Manchester City until injury time to secure their place in the final at Wembley. Even though Lee Johnson's Bristol City side bows out of the competition, their memorable display will remain in the minds of their fans. I hope they get promoted to the EPL. Lee Johnson's men knocked out four Premier League sides on their way to the Semi final against Manchester City, knocking out Watford, Stoke, Crystal Palace and United. 1 Like

If only Bristol can beat City without conceding... 1-0 will be enough... Buuuuttttt Man City is a goals scoring machine. Hard seeing past a Man City ticket to the final but hey! Never say never. Bristol is good and looks like a team that suits Nacho's style of play too.... Anyway, on Nacho, time will tell. TheGoodJoe: |

safarigirl: Just coming online now... Seriously I have been thinking about our players signing assurance of playing time like 70percent I could remember when Cardiff played in FA With portmount if am right.. Arsenal signed Ramsey from Cardiff with assurance of 70per cent playing time. I dunno why our players cant sign that... Is it too much to sign instead of sitting comfortable in bench.. Just saying |

Why Nigeria will not win the African Nations Championship by Colin Udoh, KweséESPN Nigeria's Super Eagles arrived in Rabat, Morocco on Tuesday, a week ahead of the African Nations Championship kickoff. Prior to their departure, coach Salisu Yusuf assured Nigerians that his wards were determined to bring the trophy home, with goalkeeper Dele Ajiboye one of several players who shared the coach's optimism. As commendable as this show of confidence is, it will not be the first time the Super Eagles have blown their own trumpet ahead of one of Africa's major tournaments. Chigozie Agbim was equally boastful ahead of the 2014 tournament in South Africa, and just before the last tournament, Nduka Ugbade bragged that the Super Eagles would return as champions. On both occasions, the team came back home without the trophy. As they head into the competition this weekend, Nigeria fans ought to keep their predictions and expectations modest, due to these three reasons which should prevent the Eagles from winning the tournament. Lack of Pedigree There have been four previous CHAN tournaments, beginning with the inaugural edition in 2009, and Nigeria haven't shone in any...in fact, their performance at Africa's competition for home-based players has been distinctly underwhelming. The Eagles failed to qualify for the first two, losing the 2009 qualifying playoff to Ghana and then the 2011 playoff to Niger. When they did qualify for the first time in 2014, Stephen Keshi's team finished third with a 1-0 win over Zimbabwe in the bronze medal match, but their run wasn't as inspiring as expected. Finishing second behind Mali in the group phase, they beat Morocco 4-3 in a thrilling quarter-final game before falling on penalties to Ghana in the semi. In 2016, they failed to make it out of the group stage, finishing a point behind both Tunisia and Guinea. Their elimination was even more distressing because they only needed a point in their final group game against the Syli Nationale in order to advance, but lost the game 1-0. Despite the chest-thumping, and Nigeria's standing in African football, this lack of pedigree at this level will be tough to overcome. On the bright side for the Super Eagles, only one former champion qualified for this year's tournament -- 2014 champions Libya -- but guess who they've been drawn against? Yes, Nigeria. Then there are three-time participants and hosts Morocco, Cote d'Ivoire and Guinea, who finished third and fourth respectively in 2016. The field is not impossible to overcome, but Nigeria's lack of pedigree could hurt them. Rusty Players Nigeria's domestic league wrapped up in early September, and since then, players have been on break. This includes members of the Super Eagles CHAN squad, who have seen no league action for four months. This is contrast to many of their title rivals whose domestic competitions have been in full swing during the months leading up to the tournament. Training and friendly matches are no substitute for competitive, high octane matches with an edge, and it's this competitive edge that the Eagles could lack when their campaign begins against Rwanda. A slow start will be no surprise, but could prove expensive, as their second game would be against Equatorial Guinea, fielding almost the same squad that took part in recent A qualifying games, before a final showdown with former champions Libya. Poor Preparation For a team with players lacking in competitive football, better preparation should have been expected, but that has hardly been the case with Nigeria, particularly with some of the players having their eye on a European transfer during the offseason. For what it's worth, they did take part in the WAFU tournament last year, but there, their lack of regular action was an exploited hindrance during the early stages, and then brutally exposed by Ghana in the final. Playing against even rustier opposition in the NPFL pre-season tournament, they came out winners, but considering the level of league football and friendly internationals being played by their potential title rivals, it does look a difficult road ahead. It is entirely possible that the Nigerian team, with their strong character and never-say-die attitude, can overcome these challenges and go on to lift their maiden title, but the odds appear firmly stacked against Yusuf's side.

Icon4s:I don't think a lot of people have high hopes for the tournament, many don't even know it is taking place. I do agree that the fact that it will be counted like any game played by the actual team is a downside really. And while I would have preferred we don't even qualify at all for CHAN, it will be unfair to some of these players who can only get opportunities when they play the tournament |

Aremu Leaves Nigeria For Career With Norway’s IK Start By Johnny Edward Nigerian midfielder Afeez Aremu has departed the shores of the country aboard an Africa World Airlines on Tuesday to join up with his new team IK Start for their pre-season campaign in Norway en-route Ghana Completesportsnigeria.com can report. Aremu signed a two-year deal with the newly promoted Norwegian club IK Start in December despite agreeing to a short-term deal with the Ghanaian outfit Inter Allies FC in December. Both clubs have an existing agreement that involves their players being transfered to the Norwegian club from the Ghanaian club. The 18-year-old is expected to arrive in Norway on Thursday for the start of IK Start’s pre-season campaign. “I’m happy leaving to start my career in Norway and I hope to play regularly to improve on my game like other big Nigerian players who used Norway as a spring board to their success,” an excited Aremu told Completesportsnigeria.com shortly after his departure on Tuesday. Aremu has nine caps for the Home Eagles since making his debut for the team in their African Nations Championship qualifier against Benin Republic in March. Source: https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/aremu-leaves-nigeria-career-norways-ik-start/ Sir BascoVanVeli, abeg is this the main reason Afeez Aremu, the tireless no.4, wasn't picked for the CHAN? |
