Please give me the authentic Warri pidgin dictionary so i can correct myself, until you do that my WHAATEN remains.

Perception creates Expectations and Expectations not met creates CONFLICT.

My discussion was not with you but as usual you just could not resist the temptation to jump on board in the middle without understanding where the discussion emanated from with your premeditated self birthed negative notions.

If you have low self esteem and read things as being condescending when you are not even remotely within the discussion, i am sorry that is not my fault. You have even descended to the level of TELLING BLATANT LIES but i am not sure why e.g. Is fandom by buying tickets and going to games? Someone is supporting a team from Nigeria, and you are asking if he has season tickets, does he live in England? How will he have season tickets?
When did i say that

I will remind you, because as you have already admitted you do nor read my contributions to completion. But somehow you always respond when i am not talking to you.

The subject matter absolutely had nothing with being a Fan at its inception. But the context of the word "WE" as justification to dismiss my view as being 100% false, a gain you did not read that bit. But with extreme indignation like a woman scorned you went on a tirade of anger and opinionated balderdash supported by your self created churlish claims. It was later on Danieinino00 brought the word fan to anchor his entire objection upon.b

If you see me as an English authority in football whatever that means in your befuddled ideas, that is your perception not mine. And if by reading my write up you feel ridiculed, I really cannot legislate for what you feel that is entirely your choice.

But remember your perception is not fact and it is not necessarily right it is simply you.

The way you approach my write ups many would wonder if we have some kind of venomous interaction outside of this forum.

You said i have not dropped any exclusive information here, why should I ? And then if i did get everyone asking me questions on the how and why or you could assume i dont know anything, which really is no biggie to me.

Finally, all this just light-hearted banter on a faceless forum, it simply is not that deep to get all heated up about, Kool down.

Thesupernerd and Chriskels also called you out for your BS,but for some funny reasons,u decided to ignore them and focus on Safarigirl..

Are u afraid of engaging your follow men ??

Who is watching Augsburg vs FC Köln match?

Augsburg vs FC Koln. Felix Uduokhai, Noah Bazee and Kingsley Ehizibue all in action currently. 25 mins gone already.

Sir,i have never heard of any private sponsored league in any country,so why in Nigeria.

The organiser of this purported private league should have channel their resources into Nigeria league cos I still remember Alfusalami rocks,Leventis United,Abiola babes,Iwuanyawu Nationale,Flash Flamingo,Ibwa,Femo scorpion,ACB,First bank, Julius Berger,Ibukun Oluwa,Rancher bees,Nasco jet,Jasper united,Concord fc,Raccah Rover,BCC lion etc.These are private clubs that made Nigeria football beautiful to watch in the 80-mid 2000.

If they have any issue with LMC they should just go to the round-table on the way forward cos NPFL remain the bedrock of Nigeria football and bringing any private league would lead to total collapse of half dead NPFL.

I don't know why these state governors won't sell off these clubs they claim to manage...
They are being run like other state owned institutions in this country... Underfunded, underperforming and yielding little profits..
They should allow the private investors take over abeg...

Well, it's not like he has much of a choice. If Olympiacos are the most serious team in for him, then he should take it. He can always work his way up again from there. And you right, at least we get to see him in the UCL. Time will tell where Henry ends up.

TheLoneCitizen:



What makes it worse is that Monaco bid the highest for him and Everton accepted, he claims he had no say in the move.

Galatasary is the best place for his development, because he is well rated, but if Galatasaray cannot afford as they couldn't afford him before he moved to Monaco, he should move to Olympiacos, who one of the biggest clubs outside the Top Five clubs even bigger than Monaco. They also guarantee CL Football.

BascoVanVeli:


USA had like 3 leagues going at a particular time. The private clubs are within their right to start their own league. The NFF cannot have a monopoly on leagues. I am all for it. The more jobs for our youths the better. If the NPFL want to stay alive, in the words of Drake they have to look alive. Show the fans why they should watch.

Sir the question is this, are those 3 leagues in United States operate outside the guidelines of US football authority.

The more reason I said I need someone to interpret the legal implications of having another league apart from NPFL.

Good point.

Leicester played a practice match yesterday , it ended 1:1 with Ndidi and Iheanacho scoring their respective team's goals

Bazee, good player but not that fantastic. Ehizibue good too but Tyronne is better for me.
The game is not that interesting. Gra gra footy.

Yes they were run by 3 different entities.

I am sure that in Nigeria there are laws that counter monopolies.

Tyronne is more balanced defensively and offensively. Ehizibue is very good offensively and super fast but not so awesome defensively. That's the difference.

Bazee is a very fine player. He even won the penalty that Augsburg squandered. It's just the way this game has gone so far. Very uninteresting phases of action.

just my major concern on our young talents,can Rohr do it,very doubting.

The best time to have sack that man was immediately after the WC. The reason why many would still want him is nothing but stability. He doesn't have the guts to take us to the next level.

It's up to the players to show that they want it.

Kog45:
Amaju should act fast and stop this nonsense.

There's no reason why Amaju pinic should step in here. The private league would just be like a a street football competition since it wouldn't be presenting teams for the CAF competitions.

The NFF can't stop people from organizing a village Christmas football competition, same applies here.

Edopesin:


Na e know how he reason am

Toh! It's within his rights.

My thoughts too

Players from the league won't get call-ups to the NT.

Tyrone needs to be playing football first

Chief,i think that was general belie that Oruma, Obodo even James Obiorah failed to live up-to expectations but forgetting that active Okocha will always getting the starting shirt.

Thank God he retired,player like Mikel would have been a bench warmer( 2006-2010) with Okocha still active.

Pls boss compare Kanu 1996-2006 to 2006-2010 with Super Eagles.

Chief, Kanu has nothing to offer after our failed 2006 World Cup qualifications,my opinion Chief.

Good you have brought in the Mikel angle.

Oruma/Obodo were supposed to be replacements for Okocha but they were not just cutting it like expected because they didn't have the qualities close to those of Okocha so we had to rely on Okocha a little longer. But Jay-Jay could not play for ever and that was when God blessed us with a young Mikel. I remember his first game was against Zimbabwe in our 3rd group game at the 2006 AFCON. Less than 5mins after being introduced, Mikel scored on his debute and that was when we knew Okocha's replica had arrived so we had to accept in our hearts that it was time to let go of him. 2 years earlier at the 2004 AFCON Okocha had a stand up performance and so even during the 2006 WCQ which were played in 2004-05 he was a player we really relied on especially as Oruma, Obodo and Obiorah were not measuring up as expected.

Now to Kanu, Yes just like Jay-Jay, he had his best days before 2006 but from 2006 - 2010 he still had major impacts in the team even as we hardly had a player that could fit into his shoes due to his versatility.

Do you recall that Kanu's last game for Nigeria, which was the 3rd place game of the 2010 AFCON, Kanu Nwankwo played the CM role. And we were like..as if he just thought the CM players how to do their job.

Egbon, this particular issue about the later years of Kanu and Okocha was very much an argument back then. To some fans they were "Old tired legs" that must give way for young players. But some of us saw that the team needed the experiences of such players in the team for a smooth transition. And it was not as if we had numerous top rated young players then.
Young players of that time (2006 - 2010) that were pushing for starting places in the SE:
Taye Taiwo (Capped in 2005)
Mikel Obi (Capped in 2006)
Chinedu Ogbuke-Obasi (Capped in 2006)
Victor Anichebe(Capped in 2008)
Obinna Nsofor (Capped in 2007)
Other up coming players then:
Brown Ideye
Sani Keita
Isaac Promise
Odion Ighalo
And then the defensive crop of (all of which later made the national team):
Efe Ambrose
Onyekachi Apam
Dele Adeleye
Adefemi Olubayo
Chibuzor Okonkwo

As at that 2006-10 there were hardly any upcoming players that were major threats to the SE forwardd then. It was just Nsofor and Obasi and you and I know they were at that time not in the class of Yakubu, Martins, Utaka, Kanu, Osaze and Ike Uche.

Good you have mentioned Private INVESTORS. So looking at it from the investment angle. Is the Nigerian league viable enough for you to sink Billions of naira in buying over a club plus it's facilities? What is the expected Return on Investment?

Private league is a Nigerian solution that will force the NPFL to raise their standard if they ever will. Times have changed

Good point Egbon.

Some of us have come a long way with the followership of the Nigerian league and we would not want to see it deteriorate any further before our very eyes.

The LMC should have a round table discussion with Private club owners and Iron out their differences.

And that's because of his age, Thierry Henry was an awful finisher before he met Wenger.

Mbappe who is regarded as the best of the next generation has missed the second most 'big chances' in the whole of Europe this season. But as he grows he will convert more chances.

Definitely. Wenger try.

Who talk so? Lol

andrewbaba44:


Walk into arsenal team that have Aubameyang and lacasera?

Auba will leave. Arsenal can't compete. He will be a good replacement. As for Laca... I doubt he will last at Arsenal.

At least Chris Giwa has a place to go. Players used to cry to be allowed to sign for his team.

There are a lot of private individuals involved in the league already... They feel that the current system is hindering them from making money,hence the reason why they are pulling out and creating their own league. If the NFF and ministry of sports can allow the private sector to be more involved in the running of the league,as a businessman,I'd commit my money into it (assuming of course I have the money )

Looking beyond the league,there's a lot of money involved in the football scene in this country... From the football academies to the management agencies to the betting firms ..there's money...

Icon4s:


And this is what we would not like to see.

But, we can't help it.

Hopefully, this puts pressure on the Govt owned clubs to sell off so, the entire enterprise becomes private driven, inspiring their owners to make decisions that'd help raise the standard of football in our locality.

Joebie:

The NFF would see their decision to create a league of theirs as one done in bad blood, they'd make sure these players are denied the opportunity to turn up for the NT.
