Re: Ageologists version 2013

I was at Ife at 16 and at least 8 of my classmates were around that same age in 91. Why cant the same exception be afforded the U-17? Two of my classmates One 17 years old and the other 18 years old played for Ife at NUGA in 92 at Unilorin. The Played against grown men. These were students in Elect...

Re: Ageologists version 2013

TXJ, you need to consider the possibility of having a range of values for your definition of typical. I think it is your main weakness in this thread. When this site was set-up, no one could have predicted that this thread will come up. Yet you have quite a few people that have already told their ow...

Re: THE ALEX FERGUSON FILES!!!!

If Keane truly said those things alleged he said on MUTV, then I can see nothing wrong with what Fergie is saying about him. Keane has never denied he said those things so it's safe to assume the allegations are true. The loyalty between Keane and Fergie was broken by that MUTV interview, not by thi...

Re: Who else is worried about the injury to Omeruo?

Whoever has access to Emenalo should just beg him to arrange a loan deal to a club where he'll get playing time for Omeruo - for naija's sake.

Re: Mother of USA-based Golden Eaglets invitee cries out

Oh pls. I bet the kid isn't even that good. In fact going by the track record of American born Naija players I am 100% sure the kid is average at best. Good point.

Re: Can Moses have a Chelsea future with Andre Schürrle sign

Useless article. How he can conclude that Moses does not have a future at Chelsea in absolute terms is beyond me. His long term future may face stiffer challenges but it does not mean he wont have one. Is Moses not able to improve or raise his game? Is it only Schrulle or whatever that can do so? Pe...

Re: Jose Mourinho: World Cup warning after Wayne Rooney bid

Rooney should be self motivating - it's a world cup year afterall. No better place to play yourself ...

Re: Chelasea's Rooney Bid...More to it than meets the Eye?

Txj has a point which i agree with. Jose may genuinely be interested in getting Rooney, but he's also using the public confirmation of a bid to steal a mental edge over Moyes. Moyes is as stubborn as Fergie and i can't help but be sad for Rooney as he will be the one that'll likely lose out in all t...

If Sone Aluko is fit, he must go to the world cup, besides Moses and Mikel, no other player is as good as him running with the ball and with method too.

Re: A bit of perspective

If everyone stays on their current trajectory, theres no reason why Aluko doesn't make the squad, nor is their any rationale to justify Ideye Brown's inclusion. So who would you replace Ideye with? I recognise that we need prolific strikers or least strikers that will take their chance 7/10 times. ...

A bit of perspective

Quite a few people have been having a go at Keshi for players he didn't invite to the Confed Cup, but neglecting those he did invite. By looking at those he did invite, perhaps we can see which positions Keshi sees as problem areas. Let me start with a possble first team at next year's world cup: 1....

You MUST blame Musa for giving away the ball cheaply - the guy is a little bundle of poor decision-making.
