Lols you can't answer the simple question I asked. Imbe, anyone that watched Tottenham match yesterday know Hojberg didn't play DM primarily. You no get argument at all.

Like u don’t understand me. Growing up I’ve always watched the news and each time international news comes up they talk about “Crisis in the Dafur region “ , “ Rebel forces in southern Sudan “ , etc and they show people who are refugees in their own countries . Even now as an adult they still talk about crisis in Sudan every now and then.

From a young age I’ve known the country is a politically unstable country . I find it puzzling that as a parent I will now gather money and send my child to the country to study when it’s not like the place has suddenly become stable like Present day Rwanda . Like send my child to another country that is politically unstable for so long 🤷🏼‍♂️.

Northern Nigeria is still Nigeria . Nigeria is still our country and we have nowhere else to go . But a foreign country that I have other options? If I want my child to have Arabic Education Egypt is there na. There are other countries with more stable political climate
Even for Naija here, most southerners (whether Christians or Muslims) don't like schooling or working in the North because of issues like instability and religious extremism.

The few that worked or sent their kids to school in the North were mainly Muslims, and don't be surprised that a sizeable percentage of those parents understand Hausa language.

These factors (religion and language) count a lot in times of crisis.

Most of those Nigerians in Sudan are Muslims and from the North, and it's mainly those Muslims from the North that would be willing to school in a volatile country like Sudan.

When a crisis breaks out, a northern Muslim has a higher chances of survival than a Christian from any other region.

I don't think an unbeliever (not from the US, the UK, France, or other First-World countries) schooling in Sudan values their life.

Bros, but southern parents have not stopped their wards studying in the North nah.. Even way back when there use to be religious crisis parents still send their wards back...
Very few Southern parents did that then and even much fewer do so now. And they're mainly Muslim parents. So?

first sarr was not even the primary DM yesterday.

Sarr change was just removing extra CM to return back to back 3. Don't try to pin it on sarr because it's a lie.

Secondly. nobody has claimed Skipp and sarr are Robust.


The person you usually use to disturb us all the time about robustness is hojberg.

And since he is present in that midfield, Tottenham has no business conceding 6. Because Robust DMs do not concede six.


So you should keep the same energy you used in beefing non robust midfielders
Hojberg was present in the midfield as a DM? If he wasn't, your argument no get substance at all.

Hypocrite. The racist Arabs and fools like you in Africa regularly demonize and profile pagans in this part of the world.

The bulk of verses in your Qur'an profile pagans in dehumanizing and unfair ways. Yet you dey complain. When the Arabs and your fellow Muslims do the profiling, they're saying the truth as the "best of mankind", but when others do it, they're being unfair and dishonest.

We need a DM anyway cos Enzo proved he is potentially a world class CM and we need to utilize him there
If we can get Rice, 24, from Westham, that would be a great boost to our midfield. However, I doubt Westham would sanction the deal at a fair price.

It is wise to let Kante go (contract is expiring). I would even sell James who Madrid are chasing.

You can't be paying these niggas £250k to £300k per week for them to only be available one week out of three. They are worth that salary if fully fit but they hardly are. That money they earn is based on receiving a utility from them every week.

I will keep Kovacic if he extends, but with one year left, he calls the shots.

Broja, RLC, Odoi, Gallagher and Mount will go since they are pure accounting profit (they have no carrying value) so the amount you get for them is the profit you declare on the books for that year. Same with James. Boehly will need all these to balance the books for FFP.

Everyone else that we sell apart from Kovacic and Havertz will lead to an accounting loss (their sale price will be less than their carrying value) and will not actually help Boehly meet his FFP limits. Forget selling Cucurella, he will be the biggest accounting loss as his carrying value will be £50m in the accounts but we can't get more than £30m for him, leading to £20m accounting loss toward FFP.

To understand what I am saying, if a player is bought for £50m on 5 year contract, each year he spends amortises his carrying value by £10m (£50m/5). If you sell him after one year, his carrying value will be £40m. If you sell him for £30m, you declare immediate £10m loss in your account for that year. Homegrown players have no carrying value so any amount you sell them for us pure accounting profit.
If Kante is sold, then we need a proper DM to work with Enzo and Kova in the midfield.

I'm also hearing of Barca interest in Auba and Kante
Do you think it's wise to sell Kante by the end of the season? If so, who should we use to replace him?

There are reports Man City wants to go for Kovacic.

Yh... that's why I said information

The amount of info on the internet greatly enhanced the features of ChatGPT
In modern times, the Internet has always had a vast amount of information but no one could harness such information and create meaningful contents with it using AI like OpenAI's ChatGPT.

So, ChatGPT is the gamechanger. It's a key milestone in AI development and deployment.

Another thing to note is that AI is on the rise because of the powerful computers we have now

Just like last time when GPUs were constantly out of stock because of crypto mining (Eth fixed this significantly by moving to PoS).... GPUs are now going out of stock because of AI

And also AI needs information...lots of it to even be considered intelligent

I guess maybe at that time, we didn't have as much information as we have now
The powerful capabilities of ChatGPT released late last year are the main factor driving the current AI hype.

AI has been around and in use for years, but the great features of the recently released ChatGPT was a key advance in the technology showing the immense potential of artificial intelligence.

I don't know what the clowns are rejoicing about. Tuchel won't be the first top coach to have a poor start in a new club.

Pep and Klopp are some of coaches that had a poor (trophyless) start in a new league but improved later on after signing key players and selling some.

When Tuchel spends some months in the new league he's and his performance fails to improve, then your silly comments will be reasonable.

It's almost impossible for Chelsea to finish lower than 15th even if we lose every game. It's simple Maths.

The clubs in the bottom half represent 50% of the league, and we sit at the halfway point.

There are 6 games left, 7 for some. Let's call it 6 across the board for simplicity.

Without looking at fixtures, by probability, they will face 3 teams from the top half and 3 teams from the bottom half (amongst themselves)

Let's be extremely generous and award them all 9 points in the 3 games they will each play against the top half teams.

Now let's assume in the 3 games they play against the bottom half teams (amongst themselves), it ends in 1W, 1D, 1L each. That's 4 points

If on average they take maximum points from the top half and share the points from the bottom half equally, that's 9 plus 4 which is 13 points

All of them would have to satisfy this criteria of beating all the top half teams and sharing points among themselves for us to relegate. This is almost impossible.

Now let's take the team on relegation spot (Everton) that is 12 points behind us. Do you think if Everton make up the 13 points needed to overtake us, they won't do so by taking points off one of Leicester, Leeds, Bournemouth, Wolves or Palace who would now be one game behind in their quest to catch us? By probability I already know it's likely they face one of those teams - and infact I just checked and they have 3 of those teams to play. I'm sure if you actually run the fixtures though an algorithm, we are already mathematically safe.

As a physicist, I would expect you to just look at the table and know the probability of relegation is negligent because it involves variables that all interact with each other, and is not a straight line race between Chelsea and Everton/Forest. If Everton or Forest go on an amazing run, they will do so at the expense of multiple clubs who will now pose a smaller Mathematical threat to us.
Hopefully, things improve for Chelsea soon. Any team one has to do this sort of calculations for to progress in a tournament or league is dying.

Looking at our remaining matches, it is only Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest that I think we will have good results.
If we can get 9 points from Brentford, Bournemouth, and Nothingham Forest, all well and good. But I won't trust Lampard not to lose all the remaining games.

Most likely, Everton will relegate this season, no thanks to Lampard.

But Boli doesn't learn. A loss against Brentford on Wednesday makes it more likely that Chelsea might soon start fighting to avoid relegation this season.

You can point to individual errors such as Upamecano's against City putting a dent on Tuchel's work but these things happened under Nagelsmann and we still found away around it. We have conceded more penalties and had more players sent off this season than in recent times and we've still managed to get the job done.

Since Tuchel took over, na our CBs dey score. We are not scoring enough and we are letting in goals. That's on the coach.
As said earlier, Tuchel has started his career as Bayern coach poorly and hasn't proven to be an upgrade over Nagelsmann, who he's obviously better than.

But it's too early to assess Tuchel's coaching career at Bayern. Perhaps by the end of the year, a clearer picture will emerge to form an assessment with.
