More Musings

Arsenal striker Gervinho has blamed Fernando Torres for Drogba’s penalty miss at the AFCON 2012 Final between his Ivory Coast and Zambia. He said the Spaniard’s loss of confidence is a contagious disease that has infected Didier Drogba and made him miss the all important spot kick when it mattered most. He advised the Ivorian hit man to request for separate training days at Cob ham but warned also that the Torres bug may have infected Andreas Villas Boas whose Chelsea team can’t find a rhythm these days.

Onto Chelsea matters, Abrahimovic had a meeting with his well paid underperformers to determine whether or not the crisis in Greece has affected any player’s income and thus a deep in performance on the pitch. The manager had two excuses, the AFCON 2012 which is poorly timed and should be altogether scrapped has 4 of his most important players are out including Drogba and Kalou with Ivory Coast, Essien in spirit with Ghana and Mikel who can’t do well because Nigerians are not happy for Super Eagles failure to qualify. The players on the other hand disagreed with AVB. We all know how to manage these days, thanks to Football Manager asserted Frank Lampard. They took turns in blaming the coach for posing in squatting position on the sidelines instead of coaching. One particularly annoying blame was from Hilario who was upset at being left on the sidelines by the poser in kid gloves.

Fabio Capello’s decision to step down as Three Lions’ manager was not greeted with cries of woe in England. A lot of football players were quick to log on to their Twitter accounts and declared that the former AC Milan and Real Madrid gaffer had a terrible accent which was largely responsible for their ouster to Germany at the World Cup in South Africa. Never mind the referee and the need for goal line technology. Some of these players actually believe that one Rednapp who before now was manager of Southampton, Portsmouth and recently Spurs can harry and spur England to a wonderful Euro outing.

Ahead of the clash between London side, Arsenal and Italian giants, AC Milan, yours truly interviewed some Arsenal fans and this is what one of them had to say: “I would rather Arsenal win a throw in than for England to win the World Cup.” So strong is love for the club and so frequent too does Arsenal disappoint her teeming fans. When it was suggested that Arsene Wenger might be approached for the England job, another gunner faithful cursed “who in the FA has the nerve to dare such a silly speculation?” he might not have won a title in many seasons but in “Arsene we trust.” Meanwhile, AC Milan’s wonder-kid Steven El Shaarawy missed training yesterday. He spent a whooping 4 hours in the salon trying too hard to look better than team mate Maxi Lopez who has copied his hair style within a few days in the fashion capital. Kevin Prince Boateng is in sour mood. His girlfriend refused him sex because it makes him injured. KPB will only get a chance if Milan wins the clash. KPB has vowed to reenact the Barcelona form so as to get a long one a night after Valentine’s Day.

Man City forward Carlos Tevez who before now left Manchester where it rains everyday and has only one night club has returned. He wants a place in the team now and complained that he was treated like a dog before previously and didn’t like it. City gaffer Mancini has promised to check Tevez for fitness. If the Argentine is fit, he would treat him like a horse since dogs are not friendly enough to Tevez.

AMNESTY: IN WHOSE INTEREST?

The Third Mainland Bridge is Africa’s and Nigeria’s longest bridge. Its economic importance and significance to Lagos and indeed to Nigeria cannot be wished away. It was shocking and worrisome to learn that terrorist organisation Boko Haram have come south to Lagos and made the bridge its target.  The sect has been responsible for numerous deaths and destruction of property worth hundreds of millions in Naira. A lot of persons have been displaced as a result of the wicked acts of this sect. The administration of President Goodluck Jonathan has had a torrid time dealing with the menace of the group and has thus far remained unsuccessful. Boko Haram is an ideological organization with hard line terrorist operations. It wants or at least is said to want a Sharia state all over northern Nigeria. Having links with other terrorist organizations including Al Qaeda is proof of its outsourcing capabilities. In terms of efficient organization and impact, the sect’s attacks have bee...

City Win Edgy EPL Title

A certain Italian Galileo by name made a contraption that swings this way and that way in order to tell the time. That machine was named the pendulum; oscillating hence and thence on a never ending mission. What inspired Galileo though was not gravity or some other story you might have heard, it was his dream of a football match that swung this way and that that inspired him to make such a device. Today, the EPL season of the 2011/2012 proves in the end that the pendulum learnt a thing or two from the beautiful game. The EPL has been touted by its promoters as the greatest show on earth. Sometimes it does not offer much sound football that some really savvy spectators might revel in but make no mistake; it never fails to thrill with excitement. Every season, twenty teams compete for the trophy where every match in the 380 game series is a contest for three points. Some teams do not chase just the three points though, they chase the ultimate prize: the league title. Failure to pic...
