I said UCL Liverpool has won 20 league cups

So Spanish football started last two decade?

The competition just changed names nothing more...

Sammypedro18:

Judge Pep when He gets to 60+...at this age in Fergie's career, did He win 13trophies in 3yrs??

Buh you said Pep is better than Mourinho.... can I ask why??

cherieb2:


Exactly. They were good but weren't that spectacular.....Mutd fkup big time, they didn't go into d match with a winning spirit at all else they would have played far better. In all, Lukaku deserve to be sold to a division 2 club in China with a 'never to return to Europe' clause.

Chai, babe you harsh o.

man city has also won many league cups but won d EPL twice, then u had to take into consideration d numbers of teams competiting in the competition and it did not show d true reflection of wat it is now, have u ever asked urself y Liverpool has gone into hiding since d EPL started

When man city play other contenders, you will think you are watching Manchester City Vs championship side...

14 teams couldn't stop them.. now they said Swansea and Tottenham will do it..

If city were more clinical then Mou will cry cos it would have been 1-4

man u that couldn't beat Huddersfield na one win Valencia and vilareal Valencia has history . villareal has history do u know DAT Valencia played real madrid in a UCL final. has Huddersfield ever played in the UCL kid football is not mathematics the EPL is over rated cos of publicity and cash

Name 3 Spanish teams that have won the Champions League since inception. I dare you.

I will mention 5 English teams that have won it. Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Liverpool, Man Utd and Chelsea.

Oya, your turn.

Don't mind them naysayers. They know nothing about football. I have always told them here on this forum, (you can check my posts for proof)

Epl seems difficult because there are so many flawed teams with average and non tactical coaches competing against each other. Now a very good tactician is here. Their yash don open.

This is Guardiola's best start to a season in all his coaching career. Even while he was at the Barcelona B, he never had it this easy.

Even when he had the best football team ever in 2009, he never had it this easy.

Even when he was at Bayern Munich, in a league touted as a 'one horse race' he never had it this easy.

Let the naysayers continue to say nay, and Pep will continue to put them to shame.

best start anyone has ever made in premier league history

Nottingham Forest won back to back Champions League by fluke? Jesus, go learn your soccer history.

Meanwhile, you haven't answered the question. Name a third team from Spain that has won the UCL. Even Dutch league can boast of Ajax, PSV and Feyernoord.

Mind you Liverpool have won it 5 times too.

just shut the fvck up. Na this season Guardiola come epl. You said epl is not competitive, shey las palmas fit come for nowhere carry la liga cup . La liga has been dominated by just three teams (real mad, ath mad and barca) in a decade.

na d smae tin we dey talk abt, nothing competitive or special about England, that y Leicester could win, in an unusual season in which everyone flopped but check epl in the past 10 yrs who has been winning it?, Man u , Chelsea, Mancity, 3 teams so hw is dat diff from Spain?, i have always said it, that England teams are highly inconsistent and not technically sound, thats, y anyone that its consistent, wins d league, but mancity is doing now is unprecedented, Pep has never had it dis easy before in his entire career. nothing really special abt epl

wat about tothenham, arsenal, liverpool. Like it or not they are also title contenders. Unlike laliga which we already know who the top 4 teams will be, u cant say for epl. These mentioned epl clubs except arsenal are doing so well that is why you see 5 epl teams through to round of 16 of ucl where as the almighty ath mad failed to pass group stage.

Nothing concern me if Swansea or Tottenham cum beat man city, my own be say dey don break the record wey our London rival dey brag with,at least we go hear word now.




Other EPL team should just go and prepare for next season, that's if this guardiola guy is not planning to make it back2back.



If na back2back e wan do ham,that means make other team go prepare for the season after next season.

Champions League Oga, not Europa League, Cup Winners Cup or Intertoto Cup. Many English teams like Tottenham, Ipswich Town, Newcastle United, Leeds United have won that too.

Fact only two teams from Spain have ever won the UCL. The rest are a bunch of learners. And as far as dominating the UCL is concerned, it is a cycle that has swung from Spain to Italy to England and Germany severally. Fact.

bro I concur with you, la liga teams has been dominating the UCL in the last decade but I see the attention coming to English teams soon if not this season. Remember there was a time when at least 3 English teams will be in the semis.




BTW, English league is more entertaining than LA liga,that's the fact you can't disagree with.

not entertaining all they do is long balls , its just because of publicity and TV right, how many times have u watched barca play Celts Vigo. or did u watch baca game today, its called publicity and sponsorship TV right, but please don't talk of entertaining when all u watch is d EPL cos of packaging.

yeah you are right, there was a time Italians dominated the UCL. The likes of ac Milan, inter Milan, Roma,Juventus. And there was a time Lyon always beat Madrid in the quarter/semis. There was a time Liverpool, Chelsea, man utd were all in the semis, I think that was 2008 if am not mistaken.

lol see you, I said English league is entertaining, you quoted that they do long balls, a team can be playing long balls and still entertain you.

Tell him o. Two consecutive semifinals had 3 English teams in them. I just don't have the graph here with me. Maybe tomorrow I will share it. Power always shifts hands in the champions league. Eventually, the current Spanish dominance will end and another country will take over. That is always the pattern. It's either people have a short memory, or they just started watching UCL in 2010.

legitimatefrank1:
The problem isnt even Lukaku, they just missed Pogba's presence in the sense that Pogba holds on to the ball thereby allowing players to enter...but today mancity bossed the game from start to finish

Call a spade a spade pls, Morinho is d problem of man. U, he wanted to play dis same pattern in Madrid, buh Madrid exco told him dat playing a defensive pattern against yr rival means u admit he is better dan u, Man. U is too big to play defensive game against any team, dis same defensive style made Hazard to say Chelsea were not meant to play futbal, I can tell u guys categorically dat d problem is not Lukaku, its simply Murinho's pattern, G. Jesus was not isolated in man. U box alone

lol.... Only barca top it's group in the UCL first round this season whereas 4 EPL teams topped their groups at the expense of 3 Spanish teams including the defending champions, who will imagine Tottenham will top the group that consist of Madrid and even went unbeaten in the group.Atletico failed to win against qarabag.


Power is changing from Spain this season

JamesReacher:
Wrong. A striker saves his energy for attack. No manager requires all his players to fall back. Mourinho wants the striker to be physical only in offensive mode.

not when its so obvious a coach want to sit back and defend only to beat by a counter attack which neighter zlatan nor lukaku has speed for, you are not getting.

spot on, he was kicked out of Madrid cos of this same mentality. I have never seen pep set out his team to defend from d first minutes even wen he his playing against baca, mou changed the mentality of his players against Liverpool, u don't change wat is working for u, u rather try to build it and work on it not changing it

Sheun001:


He used that in Chelsea
And that was one of the reasons hazard fell out with him
He was always demanding hazard to fall back n defend

exactly my point- he fell out with mata too in his first season at chelsea, he was not physical enough.

So if Pep can come to the EPL with this style of football and dust everybody, please what excuse does Mou have for constantly parking the bus?

Every coach has his strategy and style of play as long as it gives him the desired result. It has worked for Maurhino in the past and sometimes it doesn't work. The same is applicable to Gaudiola, he brought this tiki tracks style from Barca and appears to be working for him now but wait for the next 2 seasons and lets see if it will still work for him. A lot of people are blaming Lukaku but failed to acknowledge the fact that the opponent (Man city) is technically better, even Mourhino admitted it during the press review.

Bulletproof:
To be honest:
I life who pass you pass you!
Nor be by gra gra!
Though city weren't at their best today, yet they still got a victory thanks to Zombie Lukaku!
Nevertheless, they are good, Very good!
We felt pogba's absence today!
But for me; ManU's players gave their all( aside form Lukaku)
Mourinho didn't set up to defend( he used 4 attackers and pressed high when they could)
I don't blame the players; Hereira played well, Matic played well, Lingard, martial, degea, all aside from lukaku!
But in this game, manCity was just better!
#E nor get how RAMIREZ go play make e reach MESSI#....Even if he kill himself, Messi pass am!, Na so the game be!
Dem try but, who pass you, my people, e pass you!

Correct talk my brother.
