ISHEAGU CULTURAL RENAISSANCE JAMBOREE!
Champions league Knockout Draw!
So, that's that but …
… you can carry on the Champions League discussion with Amy Lawrence from midday in this webchat. Thanks for your emails. Bye.
And on the subject of AVB …
"I know this is slightly off-topic, but sacking Villas-Boas is nuts," begins David Wall. "He's a good manager, has had to pretty much start again when it comes to designing a tactical approach for the side (given that over the previous couple of years it had amounted to little more than 'give it to Bale') and was having the kind of teething troubles that you'd expect with that. But the question they should be asking isn't 'are we going to have success this season', but rather 'are we going to get a prolonged period of success'. Given the ages and obvious talent of the players brought in then the answer to that second question is 'yes'. And given that most of those signings were paid for by flogging Bale, there isn't a great financial need to answer 'yes' to the first question. I hope he takes then for Joe Lewis's yacht in the settlement at least." I expect he will end up back where he is loved, Porto. He must be sick of English football.
What's the best tie not involving an English team? I'd say Atlético v Milan. The young swashbuckling upstart v the venerable old man who relies on his wits.
Mark Judd puts forward a scenario that would probably make finishing outside the top four palatable, just, for pesky Man Utdfans. "Man Utd finish outside top four, win Champions League thereby denying Liverpool a place after they finish fourth in the league. Remember the Chelsea and Tottenham situation." I do Mark. And Spurs are still perhaps feeling the repercussions of that, having lost Gareth Bale to Madrid and the mess that Spurs have become this season.

Amy Lawrence Champions League webchat coming up …
But for now you'll have to make do with me and an email from disgruntled Arsenal fan, Jeffery Rosie. "Much is made of the perceived pundits' wish for Arsenal to fail, but surely fate is more of an arse. Chelsea in the opening League Cup match, Tottenham FA Cup, group of death in the Champions League and then Bayern Munich all topped off with Arsenal's big Premier League games being hopelessly rammed together." I'll stop playing the violin now Jeffery.

Here's your 'Tottenham sack AVB' news …
Tottenham Hotspur have sacked André Villas-Boas as manager, 24 hours after their humiliating 5-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.Continue reading …
Thoughts
Well that was always going to be tricky for Arsenal and Manchester City. Ties to savour, though. And will Arsenal have a better idea what to expect having played them last season and given them an almighty scare at the Allianz? Better the devil you know? As for City, that's a worse draw for Barcelona, surely. Aguero v Mascherano? Hmmm.
United will be much happier than Chelsea. David Moyes's side will hope to have found a bit more form by February – and they're up against probably the weakest side in the knockout stages. Whereas Mourinho will have to find a way of making Gary Cahill and co stop Didier Drogba, who he would still rather have in his current Chelsea side, one feels.

"Why does it seem to me that this is the season where Utd will win Champions League but finish out of top four in EPL." Because you're optimistic Gokul Kannan.

Arsenal v Bayern Munich
It couldn't be anything else could it? How Arsenal must rue that Napoli match …
Zenit v Borussia Dortmund
Klopp will be happy, I suspect.
Schalke v Real Madrid
Good luck Schalke.
Galatasaray v Chelsea
Drogba v Mourinho!
Bayer Leverkusen v PSG
Leverkusen boss Sami Hyypia will hope the rabble that faced United don't turn up for this one.
Milan v Atlético Madrid
That's very difficult for Milan …
Olympiakos v Manchester United
Couldn't see that coming!
Updated
Manchester City v Barcelona
Well, that's a tasty one. Unlucky for Barça really. It's Luis Figo's fault. He drew it.
Updated
"Don't even think of switching to cover AVB sacking the way you did the night of Capello's resignation, yeah? " chides Philip Podolsky. Hey, I just dio what The Man says. I haven't had any such instructions.
Yeah, they're dragging this out …
"Hi Gregg, as a United fan I'd prefer to avoid Gala, as they're dead certs for the final, given the ground-breaking tactics they employed vs Juve," honks Dinos Stavrides. Brilliant tactics weren't they? They would have to manufacture snow again though Dinos. Not easy …
Updated
What a way to overshadow the draw …
Luis Figo is introduced as one of Uefa's elite ball-pluckers. Meanwhile, the suits at Nyon check their phones and nudge one another whispering "harsh, what about Baldini?" and other such things.
Updated
André Villas-Boas has been sacked by Spurs!
It's not Champions League news, but it is big news.
Updated
"Personally as a Gooner I would fancy either Barçaa, Madrid or PSG. Munich and Athlèti are the ones to avoid, within their sides there are no weak links and are in amazing form. Barça, Madrid and PSG have been up and down and have weak links which is our aim to exploit." Cameron Dhaliwal makes it crystal clear just how tough Arsenal's draw looks.
So Uefa ball pickers are ready to go, I think. I'd like to see Man City v Atlético Madrid. Aguero and Costa in a shootout …
Updated
Ho-hum … As is the case with these things the buildup to the draw may be more laboured than Michael Dawson's attempts to catch Luis Suárez yesterday. So what else is there to say about it? What about the seeded teams, Chelsea and Man Utd? Are there any teams that they will want to avoid? Are Milan still a force? Their league form would suggest not but they have an aura around them in Europe. And then does anyone ever fancy going to play Galatasaray?
Updated
"Morning Gregg," chirps Steve Roberts. "I can't remember such a loaded draw in the Champions League before. Will Wenger or Pellegrini even bother to tune in knowing that at best they may pull a Borussia Dortmund team who are in a poor run of form or a relative newcomer in Atlético who are blowing most teams away?" Well, the Big Bang Theory is on Channel 4 at 11 or they could watch a documentary about Eddie Stobart trucks if they really want to bury their heads in the sand.
Would Barcelona be such a bad draw for Arsenal, given who they could face? I'm not so sure …
Odds! Odds! Odds!
Well, Bayern are favourites … which isn't really news is it? They're 5-2, Barcelona are 5-1, Real Madrid 11-2 and then Man City are 14-1.
Personally, I'd like to know what the odds are on the draw being an exact repeat of the rehearsal, as last year's was.
Preamble
Hello. Welcome to today's Champions League tombola for the last 16 live from Nyon (although I'm in Kings Cross where there's not a suit or giant lanyard to be seen). And now for some padding: of the four English sides in Uefa's Big Pot, Chelsea and Man Utd are more likely to get a favourable tie. They won their groups and are seeded. I'll explain shortly who they can face, but they're likely to end up throwing haymakers at one of the skinny kids, rather than one of the big ones with a leering grin and malevolent look in the eye. As for Man City and Arsenal, they may well have their heads flushed down the toilet.
So, to make the rest of this MBM run on cruise control here's a list of the teams each of the last 16 can face, taking into account seedings and the fact that no team can face a team from their own group or a team from their own nation at this stage. It doesn't make particularly pretty viewing for Arsenal or Man City fans, for whom Zlatan's PSG look to be the best case scenario. Draw to take place at 11am GMT.

Why I Oppose Jonathan – Rotimi Amaechi
The sorry state of the economy, poverty rate and poor infrastructure, especially the East-West Road, are some of the other reasons Amaechi said he is opposed to Jonathan’s presidency.
Reacting to comments by the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who spoke on the nation’s economy and Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, who was rallying the South-south’s support for Jonathan, Amaechi stated that the Nigerian economy is struggling to survive, contrary to the rosy picture painted by the finance minister.
According to him, the federal government was yet to fully pay the Rivers State allocation for July.
On Uduaghan’s remarks that opposition to Jonathan should not come from the president’s South-South region, Amaechi stated that he considered Nigeria’s national interest far and above any other interest.
He lamented the way those fighting a just cause were being maligned on the altar of public criticism, pointing out that Nigerians usually suffered for not asking the relevant questions.
“When you are principled in Nigeria and you stand on your principles, what do they call you?”
“Stubborn,” the audience chorused.
“They expect you to compromise at a point but when you refuse to compromise, you are a very stubborn man.
“We (NGF) asked the Minister of Finance to resign if she is not able to manage the economy and she replied, ‘I dey kampe’. As at now, we are yet to receive the complete federation allocation for July.
“How strong is an economy that cannot fund its statutory state government federal allocation? Our entitlement as Rivers State Government in July was N19 billion, they have paid us only N14 billion, you get the point?
“Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) published (revenue) receipts of N1.05 trillion in July, so why do they say that there is no money? If we receive N1.05 trillion by July, why are they saying there is no money?” he queried.
Amaechi, who spoke at a programme organised by the Rotary International, District 9140 for young future leaders at the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt, Thursday, said he was opening up to the youths, because as potential leaders they should learn how to ask their leaders questions.
“Now, why am I saying this to you? I am saying it because as potential leaders, you must learn to ask questions. If you think that the youths spur me, you don’t, you don’t inspire me. Why don’t you inspire me? Because you are learning to be like us. Let me paint the image of us – corrupt, poor leadership, that’s what you are copying.
“We produce oil and we are one of the poorest nations in the world, are we not? Which nation would allow a Commissioner of Police like (Joseph) Mbu to continue as commissioner other than in Nigeria?”
“Iraq, Syria,” the crowd replied.
Responding, he said: “Maybe Syria. So you see our peers – Syria, Iraq, Pakistan. I am sharing experiences with you before I talk about the issue of leadership.
“Now, I read today’s paper and my friend (Emmanuel) Uduaghan says anybody who is from South-South should not oppose our president, should not have a different view from our president. Did you read it?
“I would have brought you a book titled ‘It’s Our Turn to Eat’ on Kenya. In Nigeria, it should be what, ‘It’s Our Turn to Chop’.
“The reason you have this South-West, South-East, North-West, North this, North that and all that is because you have a wrecked culture, where all we care about is how to share the till.
“So the South-south has shared for four years, how many of you have benefitted from the sharing for four years, raise your hands; how many of you?”
“None,” the crowd again responded.
“So none. How many of you passed through the East-West Road, how was the road?”
“Bad,” the audience said.
“And our president is from the South-South, so you see; should I support the president?” he asked.
“Nooooo,” the crowd drawled in unison.
“So the basic rule is that none of us should oppose our president if you are from South-South, that is what the man (Uduaghan) tells us,” he said.
He urged the youths to arm themselves with education to revive Nigeria which is comatose, expressing sadness that the country’s poverty rate had risen to unbearable levels where many Nigerians hardly get enough to eat.
“Now for you as young men and women, we present you a nation that is yearning for repair. For me, the nation does not only need repair, it requires change.
“In 1970, the poverty rate in Nigeria was 30 per cent. How many of you know the poverty rate now? I was in a meeting where I said it was 70 per cent but the Minister of Finance said it was 68 per cent. What’s the difference between 68 and 70? So we are giving you a nation that is in a comatose state, that’s what we are handing over to you.
“If it is a nation that is progressing, from 30 per cent in 1970, we should be talking of about 15 per cent now. So you have work to do and the first step to that work is get an education,” Amaechi said.
He explained that his administration introduced free education in the state to provide everyone, particularly poor parents, the opportunity to send their children to school, lamenting that the cost of education in the country had denied education to most Nigerians.
Amaechi also used the occasion to commend Rotary International for complementing the state governors in the fight against polio.
Earlier, the District Governor of Rotary International District 9140, Dr. Charles Oniawan, said Rotary unites people from all nationalities and backgrounds, adding that the programme was designed to give youths leadership skills to serve the people and humanity.
