stop being a lunkhead. nani and bale have been better than nasri this first half of the season.

And yet if the league were to end today, Nasri would win player of the year easily!

nani will win the player of the year easily. 5 goals + 11 assists in 15 league appearances surpasses whatever nasri brings to the table. besides that. when the two players clashed head to head. nani disgraced clichy but a 20-yr old brazilian kept nasri in his underpants for 90 mins.

Nasri has what, 8 goals in the league alone?

besides that. when the two players clashed head to head. nani disgraced clichy but a 20-yr old brazilian kept nasri in his underpants for 90 mins.

I can only imagine what Nasri would've done to Clichy if he were a United player. . .

Anyway i'm not going to debate Nani vs Nasri. But Gareth Bale? GTFOH!

ritchboy:

Nasri has what, 8 goals in the league alone?

with at least 2 of those goals being penalty-kicks. 1 assist in 14 league appearances is also very poor. abeg, this shouldn't even be debated. nani is the most productive player in the whole league. he contributes at least a goal in every league game.

nasri did nothing to rafael. what could he have done to clichy?

Nasri has only taken one penalty in the league. Aren't you the one who always says "which is easier to score, a penalty or a tap-in"?

Like i said before, Nani has also been brilliant and i'm not going to debate that. But Bale ahead of Nasri is scandalous. . .

my formation had a role to play in choosing bale ahead of nasri. nasri isn't a touchline hugging wide player. he likes to tuck/cut in. if i were playing 4-2-3-1(arsenal's formation) then nasri will be ahead of bale. but in a 4-4-1-1 formation, nasri won't fit into the format just like bale won't fit into arsenal's 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation.

@Cougar
Why would you use formation to pick ur players?

Is dt how FIFA and UEFA do it?

I don't think so.

@Emperoh
Wetin happen again?
Hehehe

@Bxg
Cech over Hart ke? No ooo

Rafael over Ivanovic? How many games has Rafa played?

Baines over Ashley? Lailai. Ashley was the reason Chelsea ran like a headless goat to d top of the table

All in all, Nasri, Nani and Bale shd be in d team

RuuDie:

I think both spurs and citeh have now earned the right to be considered as "big teams" ----- for me the strength and potential of the current squad is all that matters ----- history, stats, tradition; are all just there for reference!

So why is Man. United vs Liverpool the biggest game in England,despite the fact that Liverpool,on current form are nowhere near the CL places in the EPL?
How come the above-said game álways gets top billing around the world,even though Liverpool can't be termed title contenders presently?
Awaiting answers,including from you,tkb.
Unless we're saying Liverpool isn't a big team anymore,despite 5 European Cups and 18 league titles,countless FA Cups among others. . .

What has City done in the past quarter of a century to merit that title?Buy players?Finish 5th last season-highest position in decades?
Please retract this laughable claim.

Your argument is lame. If Chelsea have become a 'big club' or games involving chelsea with any of the top teams regarded as 'big game',then same applies to city. City have followed the footsteps of Chelsea buying the 'best available' players. If Chelsea became a 'big club' by doing that,then city are big too.
How the fck do you play against tevez,yaya toure,David Silva,Kolo toure,ballotelli and the likes,challenging for the title, and not say its a big game. They didnt finish top four cos the top four played 'big' . Totts are a very good team and city have nothing to be ashamed of finishing just behind them. Their run in the ECL is enough evidence for you

Again,the phantom id. iot strikes.Unashamedly exhibiting his sub-zero IQ for the world to see,just like most Gunner fans
Chelsea's history warrants that they were a big club even before the Abramovic era.It's plastic dolts like you who don't know anything that throw words about.
What silly run are you talking about?finishing 5th last season?,unable to win at home against 10 men,and are still 3rd after playing 2 games more than the leaders?.And you call that contendership,just because they bought "players" who have yet to win anything for the club.At least Chelsea have titles to boot.Where are City's?
Stop this your show of e-insanity and lunacy,abeg.Go and check into the nearest mental institution for your malaise of inherent stu.pidity.
Is Ivory Coast a World power just because they have Drogba,the Toure Brothers,Kalou,Eboue,Zokora et al,people who can take starting shirts in clubs around the world?Is the Netherlands a World Power in soccer?England too?

Does insulting a person's intellect somehow make your point more acceptable to other readers?
Dudes, keep this 'big club, big game' argument light. Haba.

It's a petty argument, IMO. Chevron remains Chevron, even when they undergo financial setbacks.
A big game, on the other hand, is a relative thing. It's a dependent variable in an equation that may or may not have a significant implication at a particular time.
Na wa.

no it doesn't. chelsea became a big club by winning two league titles on the bounce under jose mourinho. man city are yet to achieve staying in the top four let alone winning the league. you cannot compare chelsea to man city at any level.

nasri has disappeared in all the big games he's featured this season. where was nasri against chelsea? where was he against man utd? those are the big games.

of course, that's how they do it. otherwise, fifa/uefa will name 8 strikers, 2 defenders and a goalkeeper in the last tournament. to arsenal fans, nasri is god but to united fans, he's nowhere! 1 assist in 14 league games? some gaynners do have them.

On the real though,how do guys feel when they launch all these e-insults and vitriols at some random dude you MAY never see till you leave mother earth.

It's insanely laughable.

the e-insults result from provocations and stuffs. no one really sets out to insult the other members but you have to admit some lame comments especially from the lads in your tribe are sometimes embarrassing. some of you are cowards in the sense that you don't have the balls to say these things apart from murmuring it under your breath while some have the balls to say it like it is.

The fact anyone here is trying to tag "lameness" as an exclusive right of a particular set of fans is in itself lame.That said,there are a million and one ways corrections can be made without insults that makes the giver cuts across as an embittered personae.I am sure if that is how much most of these e-hardmen give it on the street,most of them wouldn't be here typing with their fingers intact.

you miss the point. the fact that the quiet ones don't diss doesn't mean they are not saying "Bleep cougar" under their breaths to themselves - but never in cougar's face. at the end of the day, that they just don't have the balls to say it doesn't mean they are innocent.

All that is front of them is a keyboard and pc so they just sit and curse ppl when they bear their minds. A forum contains people you are smarter than and people who are well advancd than you are IQ-wise. So you should be able to read someone's comment and just move on.

I still say that most Arsenal fans should be made to pass an IQ test before watching any grade of football,and Freedom of speech should be curtailed for Arsenal fans.The helplessly ridiculous utterances that come out from that thread should have warranted its closure long ago.
Yet someone comes to say this thread is full of biased arguments,just because we want to dissuade some of the delusions of grandeur some of them have (i.e. City-Arsenal is a big game).
