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.
