God is relative.. There is no small nor big one by using capital letter G to differentiate..
I understand ur views,but that is one archaic way!

I choose to refer to my heavenly father as God. Those other gods you call relative, I refer to as god. If the god you worship is sango you might want to refer to him as God. So you're right, it's relative.

"They tell me that all men are equal in God’s eyes. This player (god-Messi) makes you seriously think about those words." - Football commentator Ray Hudson

Na me add god-Messi ooooooo. Buh he said it with reference to the demi-god.

A. Iniesta sure has a replacement and that is Rafinha A and A Turan(when he comes in officially). IMO, by the withdrawal of Iniesta, he should have brought on Adriano C., to fill up at LB then push J. Mascherano to the midfield and J. Mathieu takes his place. Or, he brings on M. Batra in at the back for J. Mascherano to move to the MF.

On either of the subs above, he should have looked (emphasis) to shore up the midfield and not weaken it. As you'd see much later at 4-2, Rafinha played deep, but then Lucho had no response in tactics to the double subs that U. Emery made which eventually tied the game. It is in moments like that, you know a great coach.

In the end, I'm very proud of the result as it goes a long way to show the superiority of La Liga over the rest of Europe. Sevilla played a great game!

A worthy opponent.

Exactly...But,the difference is that the reference comes only in writing(as I can also refer to the being you worship in the same "god" manner you do).... not in pronunciation!!

but of course!

Thats where you are mistaken. This aint logic. Logic cant explain certain things. I will drop it at that.

Its ok if you don't believe in God. Its nothing new. Please, lets drop it.

You are quick to fly to a non-related object..I don't see how any of this has to do with Belief in God..
We are simply talking of simple semantics here..

Thank you jare

If we start abusing Lucho again now, the likes of JohnPaul88 will start defending him. His substitution timing against this same sevilla cost us 3 points last season. This is a final with a trophy at stake for crying out loud and you choose to remove your best midfielder at a time like that just because we were 3 goals up. Granted Iniesta had a knock, what's wrong with putting a striker like Pedro to make sure their defenders were still kept at bay and draft Rafinha to the middle (cos S. Roberto was pure wack in that game). Remove Matthieu who was clearly rattled and bring in a Adriano who is a more natural LB than Matthieu

He probably needs another round of criticism going into the season as that was what made him sit up and behave last season

Still has nothing to do with semantics.

I have told you to drop it. I respect your believe or view. We aint here for religious studies or what-not.

I would like to believe that it is in these kind of games, for example, when you are 3 nil or 4-1 up , that a coach could begin to make experiment, safe in in the idea that enough cushion had been gained in the unlikely event of a late surge by the opponent leading to equaliser.

But it's games like yesterday's that makes some of these theories, a mere academic work. Who would have imagined what happened yesternight? Even Sevilla themselves wouldn't have believed they could turn it around.

If Roberto couldn't be trusted to play in such match where everything seemed decided, then he doesn't have a business donning Barca jersey.

johnpaul88 is right in my view. How can you criticize a Coach when he decides to bring in young ones like Sergi Roberto when a game is 4 1 or supposedly buried. To me, it is better than even starting them against smaller teams, because anything can happen in those type of matches. Against Sevilla last year, he made a huge mistake substituting Neymar and thats why we lost. But always remember that No coach wunt make mistakes in substitution.
Congrat to all Naija cules, 4 down two more to go. ElDeeVee come congratulate us.

This was a final; that's the difference. There's no redemption or 2nd leg if you lose. It's win or bust

I guess you actually meant that was why we drew.

The same Sevilla... Hmmm. I guess we need to be more careful in dealing with them subsequently.

Abi oh. Only if Lucho will learn. We escaped last season and yesterday, we might not be so lucky next time

Twas a shocker of a game yesterday but also made us know that we have players that are unreliable incase anyone starts asking why some certain players aren't playing

Exactly.

I just hope Iniesta is ok for Friday.

True.

Anyway, when is Pedrito leaving? And Nolito arriving?

barackohandso:

dmcdad:

Iniesta go give am gap ehn... By His grace, 2 more dey xome before the end of the year. Not to talk of more trophies for this new season. Possibly another treble.

Sure thing!

dmcdad:

As soon as them start am keh... Never even start sef. DJ bin still dey set-up instruments when them cancel the bash.

dmcdad:

He was poor during the pre-season games. He is yet to recover from all indications. Although, he made up for it as the game wore on.

I hope he improves soon

Fluke.
Don't worry.
E go happen one day for hia.

Me too.

European player of the year final shortlist of three is out..No Neymar but there is Suarez and Penaldo. Alongside the sure winner D10S.

Honest question here.
