AMODU IS EITHER A GENIUS OR.......

Amodu is either a genius or……. I have to be careful here because as a student of history I have discovered one thing geniuses, prophets, messiahs, great leaders, fools, megalomaniacs, and egoistic idiots in public positions who have the opportunity of getting the attention of a mob/crowd, have in common. This is the singular ability to go against the norm in reasoning, speech patterns, behavior, and lifestyle. And then this singular characteristic as history will have it endears the people into a sycophantic follower ship wherein they are worshipped, heralded as greats, even deified or in other case they generate hatred and mistrust so deep that these ones end up being sometimes killed, or scorned for generations and then in the end become reference points for the generations, but what ever the case they make it to the history books. Now with that in mind I leave my readers to judge for themselves the place of Amodu Shuaibu in the soon to be written annals of football history on the road to the world cup -South Africa 2010. When asked by the always nosy Nigerian sports press about the friendly game between the super eagles of Nigeria which he is the head coach and the reggae Boyz of Jamaica -a match which was judged by 150million Nigerians who for God knows why think they understand what the technical intricacies of watching a football match is all about as lack luster, boring, uninventive ……… I could go on and on….... Amodu showing the characteristic I so aptly illustrated in the first paragraph laughed mockingly and asked if it was the same match they played in London that Nigerians watched. “I wonder if it was the same match we played that you people watched. That match, to me, was fantastic in terms of ball possession by the Eagles. I am happy with their performance in that match”, Oh it gets better Amodu continues “Perhaps you wanted us to win. I was more concerned about cohesion and their passes. And I got it because the boys played fantastically” And he ends with flourish that would make a novelist happy “Jamaica had nothing to lose and they put everything into the game. We were careful but against Mozambique, we will play smooth or mechanical to win the match. It is a match that we must win and all the players are aware of the importance of the World Cup to them and to Nigerians.”-vanguard Now back to title of this article SHUAIBU AMODU is ether a genius or…………. I leave that for you to decide Send your comments Link http://www.bigidsplace.blogspot.com/ www.feedburner.com

FOOTBALL --AHH TOO EASY- I SLEEP TO WIN

Have u ever wondered what the special one dreams about when sleeping
Jose Mourinho: I am greatest manager alive. I can sleep through match and still manage my team to victory. I will dream now of Chelsea begging me to return. To save them from their misery. Abramovich will kiss my feet and I will laugh like this: hahahahahahahahaha! Then I will eat a sandwich, because I like them very much. There should be a sandwich named The Jose. It will have ham and cheese and pickles and duck meat and horseradish and wasabi and chocolate. It sounds disgusting but because it carries my name it is delicious. All right. That is enough thoughts. I will sleep now. Wake me when I win more trophies

Footballer dumped by wife face book style

Breaking off a relationship is getting more and more stylish by the day –seriously I think the way you call it quits from a relationship should have a measure of panache to go with it …like a style statement.
Any how I thought I had seen the ultimate ……I mean nothing could top getting dumped via a text message .Well I used to think that was the it………………..No confrontations…No explanations, no hot drink in the face…….ohhh I still have scars ......, you just send a text and BAM that’s it . But that is not the BOMB ! no way..Just check this out …. Imagine logging on to Facebook one day to see that your wife's status has changed from "married" to "single."Well that's exactly what happened to Michael Chopra, striker for Sunderland. His wife Heather Swan, , changed her status on Facebook and then left it up to friends to notify her husband.
The two had been married for just 7 months.
Chopra however did get some measure of revenge, as the "£30,000-a-week Sunderland striker, 25, hit back by stopping her mobile phone contract,

Samir Nasir has got girls in different area codes

Samir Nasir has got girls in different area codes Don’t you just hate this guy? While some guys are hoping to get a date on Valentine’s Day or any date at all, Samir Nasri has to stay indoors to avoid women As tennis star Tatiana Golovin his girlfriend (?) and this girl’s angry boyfriend will testify, Samir Nasri has a way with the ladies. While football stars like Anthonio Cassano have lost count of how many ladies they have bedded the French/ Algerian star (note the African link) finds that his blessing is also a curse. Nasri admits that he has so many female fans; he finds it difficult to leave the house: ‘I spend lots of time at home playing Pro Evolution Soccer. Ever since I have been a professional footballer it has been harder for me to go out and not be noticed. ‘Especially by female fans. I have never had any problems with women I often get letters from girls, who send me their phone numbers and photos. They want to contact me because I am a footballer.’ Some people will find make a problem out of anything. Is it really that bad that girls want to send their phone numbers to you, Samir? It’s the equivalent of Nicolas Anelka complaining that he has scored too many goals this season, or Harry Redknapp complaining his wallet is too small for all his money.

Wag with a vengeance

In a recent survey, it was revealed that approximately 101 per cent of Premier League footballers have straffed glamour model Danielle Lloyd .
The 25-year-old topless model has made news as she is at the centre of a six-figure bidding war for the rights to publish her “X-rated autobiography”.
-something i really would love to see -have this feeling it will remind me me of my school days comic strip dauda the sexy guy or okay chick -
This, of course, spells bad news for her legions of famous partners: The sexy Scouser is due to lift the lid on her flings with the Premier leagues's biggest names and reveal their wild playboy secrets.   Daring Dani’s sizzling new book, guaranteed to be a best-seller, will spill the beans on the stars’ cheating, ­gambling and boozing habits. “She’s revealing loads she’s never spoken about before,”
“She’ll talk about her high profile relationships and what ­really went on behind the scenes.” Danielle - whose known conquests include Marcus Bent , Armand Traoré, Jermain Defoe, Gerard Piqué, Ryan Babel and Teddy Sheringham - has traded off her relationships with sportsmen for years, but made her attitude towards girls who do kiss-and-tell stories very clear last January: “Women who sell these stories have no self respect. They want to make money and be famous for saying they have slept with soccer stars. But they have no shame.” Danielle’s book is out in October. Link www.thespoiler.co.uk

handball tragedy

Players Hurt In Attack
In shocking news, handball is a sport that is apparently played outside of the Olympics. Even more shocking, it's taken very seriously. In fact, it's a matter of life or death for some.
One of the Romanian stars of the sport, Marian Cozma, was killed in the attack outside a nightclub in Hungary over the weekend.
Also injured were handball players Ivan Pesic, a Croatian, and Zarko Sesum, from Serbia. All of the men, who play for handball club MKB Veszprem, were celebrating the birth of a teammate's child.According to one teammate, Romanian national handball team player Valentin Ghionea: "Everything happened in about 40 minutes. Marian (Cozma) came back from the toilet and was hit in the back. Then, he was hit in the face, and a man threw a chair at him. At that moment, his colleagues stood up from the table, his lover, too. He was pushed away down a stairway; it's there where it all happened."Serb player Zarko Sesum told me that, by the time he had managed to get out, Marian was already dead. He ran after one of the attackers but was too injured to catch him. Sesum and Pesic tried in vain to resuscitate Marian." The incident is threatening to throw the Balkans and the rest of Eastern Europe into chaos. No, really.The father of the injured Serbian player has reportedly called in Serbia's Paramilitary to take action against the attackers, with 300 men saying they are ready for duty.Meanwhile, many have blamed the handball attack on the local Roma population, further inflaming racial tension in a region not exactly known for everyone getting along. Hundreds gathered to honor the slain Cozma, and anti-Roma chants were heard. The radical nationalist Hungarian Guard were also present. Many Youtube tributes have also been posted, most of which have an anti-Gypsy message somewhere within. Some attackers fled to Austria, and police have made 3 arrests so far, two men aged 28 and 31 and a 37-year-old woman. While 99% of this story is horrific, there is one nice bit to report. Croatian handballer Ivan Pesic had to have a kidney removed after being stabbed, but the father of Marian Cozma has offered to donate one of his.Maybe there's a glimmer of hope out there after all.3 arrested in handball player slaying [B92]Serbian Paramilitary Planning Revenge for Attack?

football

Transfer Trouble Real Madrid’s €20m January signing already wants to leave If you thought Robbie Keane’s time at Liverpool was fleeting… After fending off competition from Arsenal, Chelsea and Juventus, Real Madrid secured the signature of Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar for €20m just before the January transfer window. Despite making just five appearances for Los merengues (151 minutes on the pitch), the former Ajax man is already fed up with the diet in offered by Juande Ramos. It all started when bungling Madrid sporting director Predrag Mijatović didn’t help the situation by also signing Lassana Diarra in the window. Mijatović clearly neglected the UEFA laws meaning the club had to pick only one of their new men for Champions League duty. Unfortunately for Huntelaar, they picked Diarra. The miserable Dutchman spoke to AS, probably while crying: “I can’t stand this situation anymore. They [Madrid] have neither included me for the Champions League nor do they want to play me in La Liga. Juande [Ramos] does not have any confidence in me. I want to leave Madrid. I can’t bear this.” He probably will end up doing what Tiago Mendes did by locking somebody in the toilet

i really think am the greatest

this will be my first post on my blog page i recently got an honest albeit lenghty letter from a fan (who i think just loves me too much) iyke ben osy who gave his own assesment /critique about me and the analysis i usually judiciously dish out on football 360 on sports radio 88.9 brila fm abuja. i dont think the letter would get to be read on the programme (dont blame me ) so i decide to publish here on my blogg page its all iyke ben osy views, reviews , and probably overviews of the man frank idemudia alapa- i really considering giving you a contract to write autobiography about me - anyhow here is the letter sent in enjoy- Subject: unfrank of frank Dear Presenter Football 360o Football 360o’s “in-house technical disaster” I have been a regular listener of Football 360o; I must confess, the programme is simply a masterpiece. I have also listened to Frank Idemudia Alapa’s analyses on the show; I will simply say that the young chap is brilliant. I respect his oratory prowess; he could speak for hours without punctuation, which makes him a guru of bombastic expression. However, his technical ability is questionable. His summations are always inaccurate; they lack precision, and are always destructive rather than constructive. He is more of an in-house technical disaster than adviser. His premises do not always justify his conclusions. He would always like to play on the minds of the listeners some of whom are far more intelligent and knowledgeable than he is when it comes to football analysis. Frank is as unstable as water in his analyses. If you could remember, when the saga of C- Ronaldo began at the beginning of the season, Frank in one of the Football 360o programmes did say that C- Ronaldo should go to Real Madrid on the grounds that he had won everything with Man U, therefore should go to another club, but when the direction of the pendulum changed, Frank suddenly switched to the side of Sir Alex. That was simply an in-house technical indeterminacy. Recently he condemned the appointment of Maradona as the Argentine coach, he totally wrote the young man off, but now the story is gradually changing; - in house technical adversary. The problem of Frank is that he allows personal interest to influence his supposed technical judgement which is unprofessional, unethical, and un-intellectual. Frank seldom talks anything bad about Mourinho (even when Mourinho should be lashed) because he adores Mourinho. Tell Frank to talk about Anelka, it would just be a crucifixion. Frank is towing the line of Spiff Sagbama of Ray Power never saw anything good in Mourinho when he was in Chelsea. That simply is un-frank of Frank. I would like to state that the recent frequent uncomplimentary remarks of Frank about Mark Hughes has simply degenerated beyond the bounds of propriety and good taste. Ask Frank to talk about Kaka, he will leave the subject and switch to Mark Hughes. The owners of Manchester City are not complaining, Mark has not even spent a season with City and Frank is complaining. He should give the young chap a breathing space. It took Sir Alex four years before he could win a trophy in Man U, and It took Wenger some year before the Gunners could win a trophy under him, If United had booted out Sir Alex in the first 2 seasons, perhaps no body would have anything to celebrate about him today. All great coaches started small and even the scripture recognizes that – do not despise the days of little beginning. I know that Frank never joined Brilla as a star; he might have been taken as an amateur; brushed, polished, and nourished to what he is now. The likes of Frank in the public and private sectors are those who do not believe in the young generation. Those who would always look for people with 10-15 years working experience thereby plunging our young graduate into a state of hopelessness. Mark Hughes we know had a good pedigree as a Man U player and that is the reason his name is in the United hall of fame for most goals scored( 7th leading scorer in United history with 163 goals). As Blackburn coach, he did well, so why can’t Frank give him a chance to succeed. If Frank could say that Ladan Bosso should be given a chance (though in his characteristic manner wrote him off when he failed to advance beyond the semi-final) why can’t the same be extended to Mark Hughes? - in-house technical tokenism. Let Frank leave Mark Hughes alone and face his business, Give Mark the tools and he will finish the work, and if he fails then Frank can talk the talk. As for Yemi, he is not left out. He is the orchestral that propels Frank. He works on Franks minds. He knows the answers Franks would give and therefore throws questions that would set the young chap up. Yemi watch your questions. Finally, (joke) Yemi why have you stopped calling Frank, Frank Idemudia “Alampard”? May be you should start calling him that again to see if his technical knowhow will improve. Have a blissful day.
