komekn: You have, once again, evaded the fact that you are always up in arms about anything Tammy, most of the time irrationally, because you are so filled with emotive prejudice and bias, you assume everyone is just like you, and misread jokes as seriousness. No need to make any 'assumptions' of your person. The whole thread is quite familiar with you and your antics. So much so, you're too cowardly to acknowledge your misunderstanding of a post when you are called out for it, and you resort to EVADING the fact and harping on some other inconsequential thing, to divert from the point that you don't even have the basic sense of humor associated with a Nigerian, but you want to claim Warri every chance you get. Warri is an attitude, a personality, a mindset, it is not something you conveniently hold on to when your Nigerian-ness is in question. Stop harassing people because they make jokes and call Tammy's name. We don't owe Tammy anything on this thread, this is a Super Eagles thread, for Nigerian internationals. We will talk about Tammy the same way we talk about Harry Kane or Sterling. He doesn't know us and we don't know him. PS: Glad you understood what I meant. That's all that matters Good morning. 6 Likes |

charlesemeka85: I remember when Celtic were battered 5 nil by Artmedia Bratislava? Lol that Artmedia team were no better than Bendel Insurance. Good players start their careers in all sorts of places. The fact a few have come from the Scottish League doesn't really mean anything or significance. Many a premier league star has started off from Southampton. That doesn't make them a great club or even a good one. 1 Like 1 Share |

Seriously... What more does QPR's Eze need to do to get a Nigeria call up? COLIN UDOH Special to ESPN Sep 28, 20195 Minute Read QPR's Ebere Eze can't seem to buy his way into the Nigeria team at the moment, despite his excellent efforts in England. Mark Pain/PA Images via Getty Images Nigeria's latest squad call-up once again brought disappointment for admirers of QPR's Ebere Eze. Ad On Thursday, the Super Eagles named their 23-man squad to face Brazil in a prestigious friendly game scheduled for mid-October, with just one new addiction to the list in Slavia Prague's Peter Olayinka. It meant that, once again, there was no space for the 21-year old, who has shown such good form that there has been reports he could be an English Premier League player sooner rather than later, with Tottenham Hotspur reportedly keeping close tabs. In midfield, where Ebere would have fit in, there was a recall for Granada's in-form starlet Ramon Azeez as Gernot Rohr named six midfielders. That is the most he has listed since just before the Africa Cup of Nations, an area of clear deficiency. Both call-ups are nothing if not thoroughly deserving. Former junior international Azeez, who was in Nigeria's 2014 FIFA World Cup squad before slipping into relative oblivion, showed such strong performances this new season that he broke into the ESPN's Nigeria Power Rankings for August. And what more can be said of Olayinka, who transferred his domineering league form into the UEFA Champions League as Prague went within a hair's breadth of a major upset at giants Inter Milan. Add the stunning impact made by Glasgow Rangers' Joseph Aribo on his debut for Nigeria, and it is almost understandable why Eze is still on the outside looking in. Almost. Midfield has been a problem area for Rohr from the very beginning of his rebuilding process. While his forward line and defence have seen relatively minimal churn, midfield has experienced more than its fair share of turnover, from Nosa Igiebor during the early days to this latest call-up of Azeez. Granada CF's Ramon Azeez has earned a Nigeria call up after years in the wilderness. Quality Sport Images/Getty Images The German has, to be fair to him, come to something of a settled middle three for his 4-3-3 style. Prior to John Mikel Obi's retirement, the preferred selection was Obi, Wilfred Ndidi and Oghenekaro Etebo, with Alex Iwobi and John Ogu as backstops. Kelechi Iheanacho has also been deployed there occasionally. With Mikel's injury absence, then dip in form and eventual retirement, his place was taken by Iwobi. But that area of the team continued to be lacking in numbers, especially after injury to Ogenyi Onazi. One big criticism of that department has been a lack of creative juice. Almost all of Rohr's midfielders have been essentially defensive-leaning, when an attack-minded person was desperately needed. Mikel did not appear particularly suited to the role despite early successes, Etebo has been tried there, as has Iheanacho before Rohr finally settled on Iwobi. The Everton man appears to be settling in there game by game, and occasionally offers glimpses of the crowd-pleasing footwork that gets fans juices going. Overall however, he is a tidy player who just wants to advance the ball and keep play circulating. Which may explain why there remains a yearning for more. More creativity, more adventure, more invention. Eze ticks those particular boxes. He possesses the nifty footwork, the eye for a pass, and the vision to get past players. His energy and defensive graft also make him suitable for a box to box role. Not to endow him with all-conquering abilities, but he has the looks of a good fit, especially for the long haul. Joe Aribo recently received his first call up to the Nigeria side, after a stellar early season for Glasgow Rangers. Mark Runnacles/Getty Images That was, until Aribo came along. The Rangers man, in direct competition for the spot, came in like a whirlwind and blew all competitors away. It is only right that he has earned a second call. And it would take a real stinker for him to lose it now. In danger, though, is Anderson Esiti, who may have earned a recall but played poorly in the last game when he made his return, after over four years in the wilderness. A second dodgy performance could prove fatal to his international career, and open the door to Eze. There may also be an additional hoop to jump through. Although he is yet to make a competitive appearance, Eze was in the England setup for the UEFA Under 21 championships and Rohr told ESPN a year ago it could mean a longer route to secure the paperwork needed to get him to play in Nigeria colours. That could well be a reason for his absence, even if a tenuous one, because if he is really needed and wanted by the coach, that paperwork won't be as big an obstacle as it seems.

tbaba1234: This is a bitter reality of football. If your team is not playing well incidentally it's difficult for you to play well and be recognised. Although not impossible just very difficult. Stoke will not be the first EPL team to drop into league one after a two seasons. Sunderland is another example. As it stands it will be difficult for him to get a better club in England possibly in the Bundesliga, Seria A or La Liga. |

TheSuperNerd: Defoe is 36 and he would score goals in any league in the world irrespective of location and or style of football. Even now he walk straight into the SE. I guess his because he has never had football age he is still able to perform. I have known Dembele for a long time right from when Fulham bought him from PSG. That meant I had a relationship with a number of people at Fulham and still do. Emphasising and highlighting the exceptional attributes of a player. Does not mean pulling down others. I will say it again this kid was exceptional at youth level far and above all his peers. It was almost like he could slow the game down and play how he wanted. His finishing was just exquisite. I have been to so many if his matches and right there met top EPL heads of recruitment not just the scouts. Then the lower EPL teams were dreaming about having him on loan. Dembele was on the radar of every single EPL club but Fulham were greedy too wanting to get a huge payback. That greed resulted in him going for next to nothing to Celtic, Rogers convinced him and he wanted to develop further. There was nothing sentiment based and or emotive about my view on Dembele. It was completely OBJECTIVE. He was the best youth player striker l have ever seen up close and personal. However, you construed it to mean l was pulling Nigerian players down. Dembele could be back in the EPL this January that will not be a suprise, he has never been off the radar of EPL clubs. |

Ndidi hugely underrated in Premier League says Ighalo Wilfred Ndidi - Underrated says Ighalo Odion Ighalo has told SCORENigeria that Wilfred Ndidi has not been given his due credit in the Premier League despite his exploits with Leicester City in the past two years. At the weekend, Ndidi was again outstanding as Leicester City recorded their biggest win in the league with a 5-0 pounding of Newcastle United. “Ndidi has been doing great things in the Premier League, but he has not enjoyed the credit he deserves,” said Ighalo, who played in the Premier League with Watford before he left for the big money in China. “He works very hard for his team and he has been consistent. “He is one player with a heart of a lion. “If he were English, they would have been praising him to high heavens.” The 22-year-old Ndidi has been ranked as the best tackler in the Premier League season after season. The defensive midfielder has so far scored six goals in 94 Premier League appearances for Leicester City since he moved to England in January 2017 from Belgian club Genk. 4 Likes 1 Share |
