[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3880549#msg3880549 date=1242583881]Anderson, Fletcher and Park are squad players.
It is not via coincidence that none of em started in Moscow.
Barring any injury, none of these players will start for United in the biggest game of the season.[/quote]Squad players or not all na nomenclature they are first-teamers but not members of your Starting XI that expression would have made more sense.I have a feeling Park would even start in Rome!! He started both games against Arsenal in the semis he must be a squad player indeed

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3880549#msg3880549 date=1242583881]How can??
Arsenal will still have the brilliance of Bergkamp, Pires and Wiltord sorting out the killer-passes.
The back four will be as strong as ever and with Vieira and Parlour in the midfield, Arsenal woulda won more titles.
Henry freezes at the biggest stage. He choked in Paris against Barcelona.[/quote]What killa passes?? Henry was probably our best player in both categories
Did you know he scored 32 goals and made 23 assists in one season
Choke or not he dragged Arsenal to that final we can also say Roberto Baggio choked at USA 94 right?

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3880549#msg3880549 date=1242583881]How many league titles did Henry's goals win??
I don't reckon with players who score 2000 goals without those goals winning the big one for the team.[/quote]2 league titles!! Ronaldo scored 37 goals or thereabout in one season he did not win squat either
Don't reckon with him he does not need your recognition he has gotten that from coaches,footie writers and his peers

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3880549#msg3880549 date=1242583881]He has been super fantastic. . . . .
Ronaldo was just unlucky with injuries and he prolly joined the wrong clubs.
Inter and PSV are not big clubs. . . . .Barcelona were a shadow of what they are today in the mid-90s.[/quote]My point exactly.Some players may never be successful in international level but have the right ingredients for club level and vice-versa
Inter and PSV are big clubs by any standards don't get it twisted

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3880549#msg3880549 date=1242583881]Any plonker can score at the Bernebeu these days.
It is no longer what it used to be. . . . . .The glory days are gone.[/quote]Not every plonker can score 4 times on 3 different occasions at the Bernabeu


[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3880549#msg3880549 date=1242583881]Iniesta plays better on the left than Henry.
Blimey. . . . .They managed to eliminate Chelsea with 10 men without HENRY.
Thierry Henry won't be missed if he gets crocked tonight. . . .Messi and Etoo would be missed so much more.[/quote]Stats-wise Henry has been more important to Barca than Iniesta.QED
Haterade is bad for your body.As for the Chelsea game Barca have to thank the ref first before any form of brilliance from Iniesta
Thierry Henry won't be missed indeed and that's why Barca are researching and pushing science and even sorcery to the limits to make sure Henry is fit for Rome

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3880549#msg3880549 date=1242583881]80% of those goals were from the Carling Cup(A competition too big for Berbatov to even play in). [/quote]Hahaha too big indeed that was his only major trophy in his pathetic career before he joned Man Utd his laurels are shorter than leprechauns compared to Tevez's

Allianz Arena or Olympicstadion

Those Arenas don't count

A team is made of 11 players. A squad is 11 players plus fuckever they have on the bench.
If you sit on the bench regularly, you are not a first teamer.[/quote]So what would you call the likes of Anderson,Fletcher and Park they might not always be in the Starting XI but the number of appearances they have prove obviously that they are first teamers there is a difference between both terms Starting XI is different from your first team it is the frequency of your appearance that establishes you as a member of a starting XI and anyone with a decent number of appearances can be regarded as a First team player.Comprendes??

At least we all know why Arsenal haven't won nada since Vieria's exit. [/quote]Search me. . I would be lying if i told you i knew the rationale behind those sales

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3880451#msg3880451 date=1242582127]Arsenal was a one-man team when Henry was there. . . . .
This is why he carries the burden of scoring goals for the team.
When Henry failed to play well, Arsenal didn't win games.(UCL final 2006 is a huge indicator)
Dwight Yorke copped the EPL golden boot while he was with United.[/quote]Which is the more reason why your comparison with him and Yorke is laughable and ludicrous if Dwight Yorke was at Arsenal and Henry at Utd Arsenal would probably relegate

Dwight Yorke has copped the golden boot 1/3rd times after all he shared it with 2 cats.Henry 4 times!!

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3880451#msg3880451 date=1242582127]Henry played in a club that always qualified for the UCL while he was there.
El Phenomeno did not have that luxury at PSV, Barcelona and Inter Milan.[/quote]Ronaldo has not been too fantastic at club level besides his season at Barcelona there has been nothing much to write about it is even supposed to be a dent in his legacy how can he figure in big clubs like Barcelona,Inter,Real Madrid and PSV and yet fail to make any mark in the UCL oops sorry he did make a mark a hat-tick at OT lol

Benayoun of Liverpool scored in the Bernabeu, does that make him a world class player?[/quote]Henry has scored a total of 4 goals in about 4 appearances at the Bernabeu and a hat-trick at the Stadio Olimpico.Don't just argue or nothing man

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3880451#msg3880451 date=1242582127]Barcelona can do without Henry. . . . .
Man Utd will miss Ronaldo's services and they woulda missed Yorke's services in 1999.
Henry at Barcelona is like Tevez of Man Utd this season.[/quote]No they can't!! unless you have not been watching the La Liga.Pep Guardiola would aim a kalashnikov rifle at your dome for such asinine statements
No team can do without 26 goals and 11 assists from 42 appearances

Tevez has gotten more goals than your boy-wonder Berba-slug that should tell you something

That was a direct response to DMX's Party Up.
Party Up was from "And Then There Was X" album in 1999, MMLP was dropped in 2000.
Go and read the first 4 lines of Marshal Mathers lyrics.[/quote]I would look out for it.It was probably to weak to demand a response from X

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=269277.msg3880319#msg3880319 date=1242580331]He didn't have an album in 97. . . .
If he had done something underground, it wouldn't be relevant.
Eminem got his ass-kicked?? By who??
The only cat capable of doing that is Canibus.[/quote]Then why on earth did he bother? Has he not heard of the word stale??
I have mentioned the two cats that beat EM i don't know what else you are asking for

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=269277.msg3880319#msg3880319 date=1242580331]U can mail Jigga to make a diss song then.
Eminem showed him his lyrical ability on "Renegade". . . . . .That was a WARNING.
Jigga couldn't cope with the tempo and pace, he resorted to dropping the hook instead of matching Eminem's wit n delivery.
Your idol was taught a rap lesson. . . . .it was so bad Nas had to use the incident in his diss song to Jigga.[/quote]Gladly. . One track is not enough evidence that one rapper is better than the other i am sure you know this
Jigga is probably wittier than any other living rapper


[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=269277.msg3880319#msg3880319 date=1242580331][b]Like he ended Nas' career??
After "Ether", Jigga lost all respect and credibility. . . . .
[/b]No wonder he joined Beyonce in her pop world. [/quote]Who has been more successful since their beef?? Who became the boss to who after their beef
Who's released 4 multi-platinum album's since then?? Yeah Jigga lost all respect and credibility indeed

You could be left on the bench for certain games and against certain opposition that doesn't take away your First team status Starting 11 and First Team are different get that one clear

You are Giggs's number 1 basher and no one said Giggs did not score important goals for y'all

His partnership with Andy Cole was one of the most feared combo in Europe pre-millennium.[/quote]I laugh in Guyanese.Top European defences my pitch-black ass what are their goal tallies compared to Henry's i mean combine Mr Yorke and Andy Cole's goal tallies i am sure they don't match Henry's
There are very few Arenas in Europe that the Igwe has not rocked, Bernabeu,San Siro,Stadio Olimpico somebody stop me please!!

Henry's goals only won domestic titles(2 EPL title). . . .Not even close to Ronaldo's THREE.[/quote]Not everyone would win the UCL mate it takes nothing from Henry's greatness even El phenomeno has not been so lucky with league titles and the UCL

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3880284#msg3880284 date=1242579811]Says who?? Henry is playing a 2nd fiddle at Barcelona and talking about winning the TREBLE, Yorke won that 10 years ago.
Spot the difference??[/quote]2nd fiddle indeed? I am guessing you missed the El Classico!! he has banged in more goals than Ronaldo this season that should tell you something
Henry is still relevant!! Yorke is not!! that's why one is at Barca and one is staring relegation at Sunderland

Ade has failed in some big games this season to be honest and has really not lived up to his new pay-cheque whether we should rush and sell him is what i am not so sure of i don't think he was our biggest problem this season and despite his annoying traits i am not sure selling him is the answer

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3879800#msg3879800 date=1242569813]@ A-40,
First team = Starting XI.
A team in football sense is a group of 11 players.

Anderson wasn't bought to deputise for Scholes. SAF has paired em together times without number.
Dwight Yorke scored good goals to help his team win the TREBLE.
Henry was scring 30 goals per season to win the PREMIERSHIP against inferior teams like Bradord, West Brom n Middlesboro. There's a big difference when your goals win titles.[/quote]Don't be static. . . there is a reason why there is a bench therefore Starting 11 not equals to _{geez there should be some html code to enable me write that sign} First Team

Yes he was!! that they where played together doesn't mean he was not brought to deputize him.Nani was bought as an understudy for Giggs and Anderson for Scholes because he was not sure how many more years them senior citizens had left in the tank

Scored what good goals against who and who?? there you go talking in abstract terms again
There is no member of the big 4 that has not been put to the sword by the Igwe at one time or the other lets not even talk about the UCL

Like Ronaldo did not score goals against Bolton,Portsmouth,Derby and other shyte teams as well abeg all these goals count for 3 pts that would essentially win you league titles

Dwight Yorke cannot sit down where Thierry Henry is seated!! Where has the Arrow been since leaving Utd?? Sunderland!! Henry is on the verge of copping a treble at Barcelona.That's food for thought dawg get a plate

dayokanu:
Evra told the truth about Assanal players.

A40 would it have been right if he called them a group of ballon D or winner, world class trophyless players.

Once upon a time, Arsenal used to win That was a very long time ago Like the days of Mungo Park

The last time Assanal won the League Barack Obama was NOT even a Senator.

The last time Arsenal won the league, Pope John Paul was alive.

Once upon a team Arsenal won the league

Like Boys 2 Men said

its 4 seasons of trophylessness sorry Loneliness

Yeah and he almost got crippled for his troubles he would not run his mouth like a motor next time because a season/career ending injury is what would come his way

Who else?? Juice and Everlast? U should go and listen to "Girls" on D12's "Devil's Night" album.
He murdered all of em gay-ass rappers especially on "I remember"

Peep this. . . .
" Remember back in '94/ like right before Ms Everlast was Whitey Ford/
Before his heart attack had him on life support/ [/quote]What track did he diss DMX and what did he say? why did he not respond to Party Up?

EM's response was uber-timely don't you think? Rap Olympics was 97 Devil's Night was 01 or 02 what took him so long?? he got his ass-kicked by both cats jare his tame response eons later counts for nought

What's dope about that line?? i could as well make a diss track on Eminem almost dying from OD'ing on Methadone

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=269277.msg3879786#msg3879786 date=1242569413]This is because the biggest cats in the Rap game are all scared of him.
They have all featured him at one point or the other and he has murdered em on their own songs.
Jigga versus Eminem will be like A-40 challenging Usain Bolt in 100 metre race.[/quote]Scared of Eminem?? you must be having a laugh!! who's scared of someone with a deranged relationship with his wife and mom or someone who constantly takes shot at pop divas,teenage celebs and techno musicians

EM does not want it with Jigga trust me. .Jigga can end a rap battle with a single line better go and tell EM to ask 50

FBS:

but that will be degrading, don't you think? phuck I'm already loosing interest in F1.

Its definitely becoming crap these days to be honest they are not that many good drivers anymore and the stupid rules and regulations are making the sport boring

@Aderoy
Your analysis na baba!! you do know your F1 the thing is even if other teams are able to get their rear diffuser working it might be a little too late in the season for them to catch up with Brawn

Ferrari are F1's equivalent of Brazil in Soccer i just don't know how that sport would look without Ferrari in it losing McClaren would be another big blow i think those two teams actually have the biggest fans in the sport so it would be in the FIA's best interest to appease these guys and work something out

eyonigger:
Did any1 notice Nasria and co having the intention of breaking Evras leg yesterday? I guess that was regarding what he said after the UCL semi second leg.

You are kinda right though! If we did that in the UCL he would not have been so quick to talk about men and boys

Moonstone:
I am not complaining sweetie

Wasn't expecting you to do that cutie-pie 

Lol oya back to basketball. The Lakers and Rockets game is actually on first and if Houston do win no one would say they didn't deserve it they have to start well sha to be on the safe side.Luis Scola has to be dominant in the paint again

Congrats to all Mancs!! This is really getting tiring  07,08,09 its a frigging 3peat!! Me thinks Arsenal,Chelsea and Liverpool should put their petty and puny little rivalries aside and focus on how to fight the  greater evil which is the now suffocating dominance of Man Utd in the EPL

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3875092#msg3875092 date=1242428392]How come Nani's arrival didn't affect Ronaldo's confidence?
Why wasn't Carrick's confidence affected by Hargreaves/Anderson??
Tevez is a plank. The arrival of a new acquisition should inspire him to play outta his skin.
He is a coward just like Gabriel Heinze when Evra arrived. Argentines are cowards.[/quote]Your argument is becoming moribund and redundant are you sincerely comparing two completely different scenarios together? Nani and Ronaldo where actually utilized at different flanks with him replacing Giggs every now and then yes or no?

Was Carrick loaned to y'all? would you compare Carrick's impact in his first season to Tevez's? if you do then i rest ma case.Anderson was actually brought to deputize Scholes am i right or right?

Tevez has actually played out of his skin!! little did you know that despite his limited playing time he is actually your 3rd highest scorer only behind Ronaldo and Rooney

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3875092#msg3875092 date=1242428392]Rooney never stops.
I remember Ferguson putting Wazza on the bench against Bolton at OT.
The young lad didn't like the schitzo but he rolled up his sleeves and scored as a substitute to effectively kill off the game.
Tevez should learn from Wazza on how to convince a footie manager.[/quote]You are sounding like a broken record again comparing two different scenarios.Was Rooney's position under any threat? he was probably benched because Fergie either needed him to take a breather or because he was fresh from injury very different from Tevez's case
Weren't there games where Tevez came off the bench and scored and still went straight to the bench in the next game? he even got his ass benched after saving y'all from a sticky situation in the Carling Cup scoring 4 against Blackburn

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3875092#msg3875092 date=1242428392]Henry was an excellent player for Arsenal but Bergkamp reeks of CLASS.
He was only the Arsenal player i have ever wanted in their 100+ years of existence.
This guy was just amazing in his years. Even when he scored against us, i cheered his goals.

There was nothing in front of Tevez before making that cross.

Rooney and Berbatov as strikers while the defence picks itself(Brown Rio Vida Evra).

we'll know by this time next week

I was exaggerating but lets even analyze this thing EM has not battled too many credible rappers unless JaRule and Benzino count

He's fallen off jare and i don't mean record sales of course there are millions of Stans across the globe so EM would always sell.My point is this album was not worth the wait.Shikena

eldee:
As I listened to Liverpool fans sing 'Shoulda stayed on the Tele' in their thousands against Newcastle, the only person that came to my mind (apart from Alan Shearer obviously) was Eminem's Relapse.
2/3 years after Shady's 'retirement' every work that came out from rap studios round America was being measured against MMLP.

From The Game's Documentary to Jay-Z's American Gangster, Stans and even the rest of the 'hiphop heads' around the globe were quick to point out that Eminem's last album is the best thing after sex on a Dubai beach.
It was seriously getting annoying when came out to blame hiphop's 'death' on Shady's retirement.

Then came the 14th of May 2009, four days before the 'rebirth of hiphop' . . . yeah, the day the the most eagerly awaited hiphop album of our time leaked.
Got the album, mission accomplished . . . mildly put, if this is what Eminem wanted to bring out, he shoulda stayed in retirement and held on to the cred.

It's funny how Alan Shearer had to manage Newcastle before the Magpies realised that football management is not as clearcut as sitting on Match of The Day hating on Arsenal. . . it's also funny how Eminem had to release an album to see that hiphop music has evolved.

That is the point we have been trying to get across to these Stans!!! It was not worth the wait by any stretch of the imagination

I am not even a Man U fan but this thing dey pain me like Stereoman.Instead of Arsene to be monitoring the Tevez situation it is scraps like Silvestre he would run and cop
One other important fact that's been left out is their age difference Tevez is even younger and has more years in him

I just got back from the recognition ceremony and I'm so tired but I have another event tonight. Then tomorrow is the final day. . . I get my beautiful certificate after all the blood, sweat and tears.

I know what you mean! I'm so excited for you. . . I want IV when the time is right o!

Oh wow! Someone's being very possessive. Don't mind me - I love it. . . .

Definitely! I've sent them out already. . . Trust me to take care of my girls!

Naah i am always possessive some days more than others

JeSoul:

oh my bad! copyright infringement, eh no vex sir consider this my retraction

Its all gravy missy i was just winding you up

JeSoul:
hehe you best believe it I proof-read the book on playa-ism

Too bad girls don't proof-read these days

JeSoul:
And that's the biggest problem. If Cuban signs him for just 1 maybe 2-yr deal that would be fine, but as for a long term contract I don't think the mavs should commit to that. Green has always been all fluff and no substance, Ainge was good to rid Boston of him.

I do think Barea is ready to be a starter. No player can develop into that role until he's given the chance to gain experience and from the little we've seen of Barea I'd say he's got mad potential.

I don't know if he has that much gas left in his tank so giving him anything more than a year would be folly as for Green that dude is just lazy and is not even willign to try even ball commentators like Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy can attest to that fact there are too many wastepipes in that Mavs team take out Dirk,Terry and Howard and you don't have too much left

JeSoul:
Lakers couldn't close it out - I hope no one is suprised. Game 7s are dangerous . . . anything can happen and the Laker bench are not earning their paychecks at all. Gasoft continues to let smaller people bully him in the paint, Hayes is playing like a top 10 draft pick lol and Brooks is just . But Ariza is a major bright spot, kid has good future ahead. Sunday will be a lotta fun. I want the C's to win, half-heartedly . . . I don't want us to be the ones Cleveland unleashes their fury on

I have decided not to take that Lakers team serious till they prove me otherwise i am really sure the Nuggets would be fancying their chances and who can blame them with the way they have handled their biz as for the Lakers it would be a shame if they cannot beat a Rockets team without a legit center
Hmm don't be so scared of Cleveland they have not been challenged so far in my opinion either of y'all would run them close i don't know if you guys can beat Cleveland on the road sha ooh

bawomolo:
hooray who is graduating among us

anyway, see how the lakers are fumbling. Good thing, it's practically impossible to beat them at staple center

Newsflash: They actually lost Game1

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3873521#msg3873521 date=1242409060]We play 4-6-0 with 3 rotating forwards.
This is why opponents donn't know who to mark as Berbatov keeps dragging his markers too deep.[/quote]This was practically the same formation last season and you guys even scored way more goals.You make it sound like its some tear-rubber formation
Berbatov has practically killed the dynamism of that forward line.What a sluggard

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3873521#msg3873521 date=1242409060]Henry over Dennis Bergkamp?
U are taking the piss. . . . . . .Debosky will slap you for blaspheming about the Dutch genius.[/quote]Yes Henry over Bergkamp it is not a coincidence that he was voted No1 on the 50 greatest Gunners of all-time list i still can't forgive Arsene for pulling out Henry in that Q/f UCL match against Chelsea in 04!! Wayne Bridge bombed forward from that flank in Henry's absence to score the winner

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3873521#msg3873521 date=1242409060]We did not. . . . . .Berbatov did not start against Liverpool at OT!!!
Haba A-40. . . .The facts are not far-fetched.
Berbatov did not join the match until about 15 mins to go unlike Tevez who battled for 45 mins.[/quote]You guys where just doomed for an ass-whooping that day a 100 Berbatov's wouldn't have saved y'all besides did he not start at Anfield? and who got your only goal?? Carlitos!! albeit assisted by Berba-sloth


[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3873521#msg3873521 date=1242409060]They are not first teamers.

Me Nigga . . . . .Ssup?[/quote]I thought you said Fergie was heavy on rotation so who are the first-teamers in United sef? what's your starting 11? At the rate Tevez is being benched its almost safe to say he is not a first teamer either

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3872788#msg3872788 date=1242401069]Berbatov is not an out n out striker for Utd.
There's a reason goal assists stats are reckoned with. That is the modern game.
Pele played when there was no back-pass rule. Things have changed.[/quote]So what is Berbatov really? a midfielder? supporting striker? or what? this nomenclature is getting confusing

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3872788#msg3872788 date=1242401069]Tell us about his contribution in Arsenal. . . . . Berbatov isn't a mug for Bulgaria, is he?
We are talking about club stats now. Leave international games out of it.
Dennis Bergkamp never scored 10 league goals in his last 7 seasons at Arsenal but he is the most brilliant Arsenal player under Wenger.[/quote]Over a 100 goals in about 300 plus games!! That's not a bad return by any standards i would still have Henry over him though because after all is said and done goals is what its all about

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3872788#msg3872788 date=1242401069]There was always going to be a breakthrough in that game.
Once Ferguson drafted Rooney on the left to cover for Evra, Lennon and Corluka disappeared in the game and Tottenham's only route to attack was effectively nullified. Besides that, they were defending too deep and were getting knackered as United piled up the pressure.
We didn't play the fantastic four against Liverpool.[/quote]The breakthrough started with Tevez's hustle and the fortuitous penalty Howard Webb handed y'all after that the Spuds simply went to bed
Y'all did play the fantastic four against Liverpool and you where beaten to a pulp

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3872788#msg3872788 date=1242401069]No goal, no assist. What a massive difference Apache made!!! [/quote]How many goals and assists do the likes of Anderson,Fletcher,Ji Sung Park and co. produce to make their presence felt in games??

Seems Arshavin might be having Russian company if this report is true and if Arshavin is anything to go by then this dude might be a tidy signing Pavel Pogrebynak lol i wonder how that name would look on a jersey

Cahill would be a decent signing he is pretty good on the air and strong unlike the midget center backs we have but for 15 mil!! Bolton should please Bleep off  

Wenger would sell Adebayor if the money is right its becoming obvious he is losing his patience with him

@HNIC
Fergie does not view Wenger as a threat anymore so what do you expect?

JeSoul:
oh . . . will you mind a very very belated Happy Birthday?

No problemo!! Its all gravy and thanks i appreciate it

JeSoul:
You guys are too awesome     it is never late jare thank you so much for the wishes, ese gan!   A-40 I don't mind at all, I'm mid-20  

Good to know jare i am a tad younger sha my age tallies with my birthdate

JeSoul:
Moonie,

I am the only one allowed to call her that name lol

JeSoul:
hope graduation plans are coming along okay is it this weekend?
lol . . . I know what you mean girl. I dunno if there's any real secret, I just really and honestly enjoy being with him and spending time with him. We're so opposite in personality, I guess it balances out lol. I'm good at reading pple i knew he was genuine from the start unlike the prior players who thot they could play but instead got played

Another femme fatale in the building

JeSoul:
  back to the regularly scheduled program . . .
 ROTFLOL . . . A-40 you won't kill me with laughter   I think Kidd and Green are def gone. But I see Cuban retaining Bass, he has some potential if he pulls up on his bootstraps and gets dirty.
 Overall I would say the Mavs season enede better than feared, from almost missing the playoffs to making it to the 2nd rd, Cuban can't be too mad.

Kidd i don't know he kinda improved late in the season but he is 36 how many more years does he still have left in him?? as for Green he is simply not NBA quality i look at people like him and i wonder why i didn't take Basketball seriously

We just need a few more productive players!! lets do away with duds like Dampier,Green,George and Carroll

Go for another PG if Kidd is going because i am not sure Barea is ready yet

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3872173#msg3872173 date=1242395318]It was Tevez that provided it.
One of his 3 goal assists in the Premiership.
Pathetic.[/quote]I was almost scared you would mention someone else with the way you went on and on about how bad Tevez is besides since when did assists become a striker's primary constituency? how many assists did Torres have last season?

Blame Fergie for cutting down his playing time he scored 19 goals in 39 appearances in his first season!! Muchacho has being treated unfairly

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3872173#msg3872173 date=1242395318]Berbatov's best game in a United shirt was against Tottenham at OT.
In Fergie's words. . . . . . .Berbatov never GAVE THE BALL AWAY ONCE.
The way he kept finding Rooney and Ronaldo with slide-rule passes has never been witnessed at the Theatre Of Dreams.
Berba was outstanding!!! His coolness and composure won the game for United not Tevez's pit-bull approach.[/quote]Another Berbatov best game that still required the graft and guile of Tevez to rescue Utd on the day.I wonder what would happen on his worst day,i have not seen one fan that did not attribute the change of fortune of Utd that day to the introduction of Tevez

My own don pass tey tey January 22

Hmmm i think i have a few candidates in no particular order. . T.Y Mix,Don Jazzy,Cobhams,I.D Cabasa

My best of all-time though is between OJB and Jo-Kenny those are still Naija's finest till tomorrow

Whatever they do they must not ban Durella's Whiskolo Whiska or i would be standing in front of their office with gasoline and lighters

You could make your point clear without necessarily abusing other users

[quote author=St☆rStruck link=topic=269277.msg3870043#msg3870043 date=1242354165]Because like Nick said, she's a quarter Black.[/quote]That's the more reason EM should have realized he was fighting a lost cause

Uche2nna:
I beg to disagree with U on that .

U seem to have forgotten SAUCE and NAIL IN THE COFFIN. Those two diss songs were more vitriolic than anything Benzino put out.

It got under Eminem's skin bottom-line and if Benzino was a decent rapper he would have pummeled EM to submission

[quote author=khai_khai link=topic=269277.msg3870418#msg3870418 date=1242371772]  Shut Em up?? It was the exact opposite. You, my friend, have no clue.

You seem to have no idea what you are talking about. It was the mention of Hailey by Ja rule and Benzino that really set Em off on them. You should listen to those tracks (from both sides). Benzino couldn't compete on wax, he had to resort to digging up racist dirt on Eminem.
While you are at it. Listen to Toy Soldiers, he explains the Ja Rule issue there.


I have already told you, Eminem is rarely to be taken seriously. He saw Mariah was now with Nick and that gave him a chance for one more track on the issue. It's like Chris Rock making jest of someone and they feel the should reply him. He already said several of the people he made jest of on We Made You, he hasn't even met them. Watch his recent interview on German TV.

I'm now certain you do not understand the artist called Eminem. So, good luck getting wound up by his jokes.[/quote]Ohh i do understand EM but he should be able to accept what he dishes out e.g if he disses an artist and the artiste disses his daughter he should take it with a coke and a smile

I know Benzino is a whack rapper and all but yeah we all found out what it took to get EM irked that's the point i am getting at

And naah it was the 5 mic thing that EM did not get from the Source that started the whole thing and got it going

As for Toy Soldiers that was more like a retreat song than anything else

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3871962#msg3871962 date=1242393045]Top games? What are top games?
A victory against any team in the league leads to 3 points. The FA don't give 6 points for goals scored against Liverpool or Chelsea.
There were games Berbatov's class got United through.
I remember him scoring a header(the only goal) in the 90th minute against Bolton. A draw woulda meant Liverpool topping the table.
His goals got us through against Celtic in the UCL. . . . . .The same Celtic that has beaten Barcelona and AC Milan times without number.[/quote]You forgot to tell us who provided the assist for that goal?   Berbatov's best games for the Scummies have been against Aalborg,West Ham at OT and West Brom that says a lot for a 30 milla striker

These Lakers team are a joke jare they have not even had to deal with half the adversity the likes of the Celtics and Rockets are facing and even if they do beat Houston i am almost sure Denver would kill them

My fav snacks have not changed

Good!! so when are you your sister and the husband featuring on Jerry Springer?
