asha80:Socrates, the Brazilian football wizard cum medical Doctor said "Beauty comes first. Victory is secondary. What matters is joy.” That's why I loved Ronaldinho. He was a throbbing exhilarating dynamo of joy, passion and sublime skill rolled into one. Today it is power, pace and passing that matters. Once Messi retires, the door to the era of football as an art form will firmly be bolted. . 8 Likes |

kennysville:I think it's Rohr's fault if that's the situation cos we must have penalty,free kick and corners takers even headers when it comes to corner both in our box or opponent box. Do not blame Moses but Rohr for not do the needful. |

KpagoGIN: Thank you Sir...this is partly because there so much money in football today...the more you win...the more money you have....so everything,training,branding,even stadia are expanded,players are overvalued[Pogba for example,Eva Banega is better than Pogba,but latter is costlier than former]...efficiency counts more....this idea i can say started with 1990 Argentina Team,they played badly,reached the final...and finally got huge money for such display...so the revolution started...JUST WIN AND GET THE MONEY... I believe football is both an entertainment and science[borrowing from Ugbade] 1 Like |

KpagoGIN: Hmmmm.... dont be so quick to say so my friend. What i have realized is that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Moreover, this playing with pace more often than not, happens mostly in the EPL where its all pace and bullish physicality. When the next break out kids comes on, we will be singing a different tune then. 2 Likes |

‘He’s Overrated, Not Good Enough’ – Arsenal Fans Want Player Out Of Arsenal Due To Poor Performances BY SUBAIR / IN ARSENAL , EPL , TRANSFERS Last week was a week filled with mixed feelings from the Gunners fans due to Wenger’s desire to leave the club by the end of this season. The Frenchman made his decision to end his 22-year stay at the Emirates stadium known to the public on Friday. Some fans were happy with the manager’s decision while many felt he should have waited until the end of his contract which will expire by the end of 2018-19 season. After Wenger’s decision, fans believe the players must improve their performances for the rest of this current campaign so as to give the Frenchman a befitting sent-forth gift but that wasn’t the case as the Gunners performed below par against West Ham in today’s encounter. Though the Gunners were 3-1 winners over the Hammers, their overall display was nothing close to a departing gift for Wenger. Despite the team’s poor collective performance, there is one player who is wanted out of Arsenal as soon as a new manager takes over from Wenger. The Gunners fans took to Twitter to call for Iwobi’s sale due to his recent poor performances especially in today’s game against David Moyes men. One Arsenal fan Bailey called on the incoming manager to sell the Nigerian international, who according to him, has only contributed to Arsenal woe Sam Kerr believes with Iwobi’s display against West Ham, the next manager will have no option but to loan him out to Burton Albion. Bharat, just as other fans, wants iwobi to be sold out to another clubs due to his poor and awful display against the Hammers. Patrick Viera, Luis Enrique have both been linked with the Gunners job. |
