With Robin, not available, I see us playing a 4-5-1 formation
With Ade isolated upfront, Denilson and Song sitting back,Fab4 being allowed the freedom to roam,Prince Nas and Theo on the flanks.
Of Course, the back 4 will still be Clichy-Billy-Kolo-Sagna, with Vanilla Ice_{one of the best players this season} as the Goalie.
Come on Arsenal.
Let's sink the submarines!

Your formation was splendid its hard to see AW using anything else especially since its an away game we need to bang in goals early and still maintain a solid balance in the middle and that formation just about kills both birds with one stone

As for Rosicky and his kokolet.No comments

I dey stroll in every now and then and listen quietly to you experts break it down . It's so hard to follow sports that are not shown on local tv/cable.
   uhmm . . . erhm . . . it could happen every night . . . long as your opponent was always the worst defensive team in the league. Phx is giving up an average of 120pts per game on the road the last 10 or so games        that's when u know you are BAD defensively.

  So have you eased up on Jay Kidd?    he played very well yesterday.

      lol  its better than jail time. How did u convert to man u? and your folks didn't disown you?

Hey ya don't worry if you do need updates best believe i got you  

As for PHX well now we know they got the short end of the stick by trading two of their best defenders in Bell and Diaw and even when they had them they where not a marquee defensive team they even tried for pushing Los Mavs this far but we still need to dodge that La Lakers bullet if we want to make any impact in the playoffs

Kidd can be good sometimes the only useless person i want out is that Dampier of a bloodclot Carlisle should use Ryan Hollins as our starting Center he would make more impact with more minutes

Mike Brown is my coach of the year absolutely no questions about it Van Gundy is a close 2nd

bawomolo:
detroit put an end to the bobcat threat, we are safe in the playoffs.  prepare for the upset 

Yeah you would be having a stomach upset when your team gets swept in the first round

@eldee
Dude you got a couple of lines on that verse wrong period! i don't do azlyrics.com its strictly ohhla.com (original hip hop lyrics archive) for me i pulled out a line that if Nas had spat you would leave Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka scampering for a dictionary with the superlatives you would use to describe that line which clearly shows your bias for Kanye

Now don't get me wrong i like Kanye and prefer him to Fiddy and most of the rappers out there but some of the words you have embellished on him are getting me nauseous as Bamsyle has rightly pointed out he has dumbed down and lets not forget for a rapper who has made 60-70% of his hits with samples (he was even subtly dissed to his face with it on an old Nick Cannon "Wild and out" show) its not out of place to say he's over-rated infact i won't be wrong if i called him America's answer to Olu and Tolu Maintain

Ginger your swagga? Orishirishi swagga? na waah ooh

Mehn i am not sure i even want to listen to that song

eldee:
I threatened to breakdown Jay-Z's verse and I did . . . pulled his 'roc jeans' down, and voila, B.S.
You post Kanye's lines let's see if Hov's lines on that track were anywhere near

My dayz . . . don't tell me you never heard of the most infamous racist gag of all time??
Maybe when next Jay-Z says 'form is temporary, class is permanent' you'll start worshipping him all over again.

@Chiogo
Damn!!! 'Attitude' is now a big word??

If you are sure of Kanye's bars why not post it? how do you want me to take your analysis serious when you even got some of Hov's lines wrong!! When you post the right lyrics get back to me

("No one on the corner" School of hard knocks I'm a grad
And that all-blue Yankee is my graduation cap
Erm . . . OK

If OK was all you could give for this line then analyzing Kanye's rhymes would be a waste of time because i would probably do so with the same amount of bias

Ain't Cha - The Clipse ft Re-Up Gang (The dude on the 2nd verse just killed it i rewind that verse 5 times on average)

I like the song for some reason maybe the up-tempo beat or the sheer fact that it made absolutely made no sense and not forgetting he is a Gunner too

eldee:
Oh now, you guys are stuttering??
'It's not even about the lyrics although I liked jigga's lyrics plus you got some errors in the lyrics'  . . . Kidding

But anyways . . . when I talked about copying and pasting, it was sooo obvious that I wasn't talking about the delivery
That would have been me shooting myself in the foot seeing that y'all love to hate Kanye's vocorder
I hope I managed to remove any doubts bout who was the below-par performer on that track??
Cus if I hear any arguments I'll prove it that T.I's verse beat Hov too.
Jockin', Checking . . . Big difference!!!
Aiite, bout the Kanye line . . . one's a direct quote, one's a creative manipulation . . . geddit??

@Sauron
All these 'Biggie walked on water' thingy . . . that's just one album
When you place a rapper as the greatest based on one album, that's OVERRATING!!!

_{Hitting nails on table waiting for eldee to post Kanye's lyrics and even T.I's}

Who is stuttering? speak for yourself Senor! Is it today we have been posting Jigga and his subordinate's lyrics

You got a few lines wrong mate it was actually jacking and not checking

eldee:
All these Jay-Z pple sef . . . let me copy-paste this verse

Got a bop like this
Can't wear skinny jeans cause my knots don't fit
No one on the corner got a pocket like this
So I rock Roc jeans cause my knots so thick
Irrelevant intro

You can learn how to dress just for checking my fresh
Checking-checking my fresh, checking-checking my fresh
Erm . . . this is obviously just another verse-filler

Follow my steps is the road to success
Where the niggas know you're thorough when the girls say yes (yes!)
Yeah good line here

("No one on the corner" But I can't teach 'em my swag
You can pay for school but you can't buy class
Popular catchphrase . . . don't count

("No one on the corner" School of hard knocks I'm a grad
And that all-blue Yankee is my graduation cap
Erm . . . OK

It's Hooooo-vahhhhh
Dippin-dippin Rovers, whippin with the soda
Hooooo-vahhhhh
Did you even have any doubt after doubt it was over?
Wasted studio time (10 secs)

That's the verse broken down . . . now put compare that with Kanye's
My attitude is tattooed
That mean it's permanent, so I guess we should address it, huh?

@Sauron
This is exactly what I was saying
You rate him Greatest Of All Time because of what you think he'ld have done not what he did
You assumed he'll drop a Ready to Die level album every leapyear
You assumed he'll still produce albums that will suit the changing generations of hiphop listeners
You placed him on the G.O.A.T list based on ASSUMPTIONS!!!

And you tell me that's not an overrated rapper??

Why did you not post Kanye's verse Mr Oga you posted two lines muchacho why are you shy to post the rest?  
A popular catch phrase my pitch black ass!! how many rappers have you seen use that phrase before and incase you did not catch what he was implying in the first stanza he meant his nutsack and his cash

@chiogo
I think the name of the track is Go Hard.I tire for eldee that Kanye line didn't even make sense.My attitude is tattooed that means its permanent? jeez are all tattoos permanent sef  

vanitty:
hated it, no matter how much sugar or salt was put
It has a unique taste, too much palm oil also

Mehn you did miss out ooh the freshest aadun usually came from my Mom's village

JeSoul:
Plaxico is almost certain to spend time behind bars. I would def rule him out for at least next season. Even if he's not in jail, Goodell will not let him back that easy.

Chicago will regret this trade when Cutler starts throwing tanturms and Denver is cashing in on their two 1st and 3rd rd picks and smiling all the way to the playoffs.

I think he just might escape jail maybe probation! The problem would definitely be with Goodell

Denver pulled a stick-up on Chicago infact a heist because in my books Cutler has to be one of the most over-rated QB's in the NFL

eldee:
@A-40
It's you . . . Jay-Z's your Elvis
Don't push me . . . I'll copy-paste Hov's verse on that track, even T.I's verse was better
His last album was kind of extreme though . . .but this dude has what 3 albums in 4 years . . .he's good
Do you reckon his next one will be vocorder too??

He's even better!! Besides Squeeze First and ask Questions Last and paste Hov's verse,Weezy's,Yeezy's and T.I's and lets juxtapose

chiogo:
Exactly!!! I mean Kanye tried but he didn't murder anyone oo Eldee, maybe Lil' wayne but jigga def spat better than all of them.
And I'm still tryna figure out since when auto-tune is used in rapping. Y'all are going to say it's because of his mother's death(may her soul rest in peace) and the whole heart break album but he used this thingy in Jeezy's "put on". So abegii, he needs to quit that crap, I'd rather listen to T-pain use it as he can't do any better. As for Kanye, I just don't get it but me no likey.

I don't know why Eldee is complaining how he rates Nas is how i rate Jigga so kini big deal? he listened to the pirated copy of that song thats why he is comparing T.I or anyone else on that song to Jigga
His vocoder thing is getting rather annoying especially in that track he did with Alariwo of America (DJ Khaled) he needs to re-up fast and drop some real rap right now he is pretty much on the over rated list his Chi-town Compadres Lupe is the one not getting rated high enough

JeSoul:
At the risk of not receiving anymore chocolates and wine, I humbly submit that I love and cherish Manchester United!    

 Growing up my fam was pretty much Arsenal from dad to brothas so naturally I followed along. I was taught to hate Manu so dont hold it against me 'Stone  

Ohh so you are a Gunner? haba and you never come to visit us and show your compadres some love?Try and stop by and drop a little knowledge once in a while na

140 pts in one night from the Mavs? Jesus is Lord why can't Mavs play like this a little more often 60% FG,60% 3 pt we made 15 3 pointers and 92% FT
If everyone plays well you can always count on Dampier to screw up the wimp could only manage 2 points

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=256465.msg3693005#msg3693005 date=1238970079]Are u fucking kidding me?? How can Biggie be overrated??
He came out in a period when Dr Dre/Snoop and Deathrow Records were shitting on the industry. The East Coast could only stand and admire.
They needed a touch bearer and Biggie delivered with the most classic rap album ever.
With his looks and appearance, you have to admit he had to work extra hard to get there. I cannot say the same about 'Pac or Kanye.

I could say that about Dr. Dre too. Biggie woulda been too successful without his demise.
Look at all his collabo. . . . . .With Michael Jackson, R.Kelly, Da Brat, 112, Faith Evans, etc.
He could flip with any soundtrack and turn it to gold. Rap music lost a prodigious talent on March 9th.

He woulda been a producer. . . . . .Get 3 other Biggie clones and make em rip SoundScan to shreds.[/quote]Yeah that reminds me of a line in Money,Cash,Hoes Its like New York's been soft ever since Snoop came and crushed the building

eldee:
C'mon, it's just a phase . . . he's a mama's boy that lost the woman that started his career
Nas backed-out of the biggest beef in hiphop history . . . and released an album that had references to Anne Jones in almost every track, because he lost his mum.
Let's just say, people have different ways of reacting to situations, Kanye's just happened to be the way every sane producer would.
Besides Heartless was really good, it's still my ringtone
Kanye's hiphop's future . . . BTW you saw him tear Jay-Z apart on Swagger Like Us, didn't you??
That's a sign of improvement, compared to Diamonds Are Forever Remix
Believe it or not, some people refuse to appreciate good music cus they want to be 'hiphop heads'
His swagga's so on-point,  'Ralph Lauren was boring before I wore 'em'

Abeg which kin phase? i am sorry about his mom but i still can't understand why it made him put out his weakest album yet why did he not drop a single or something
Heartless bores me to sleep,Love Lockdown is still manageable not that i can stand either track sha
Which Swagger Like Us are you talking about?is it the Alaba version or what? Jigga was the best on that track no question!! Kanye has even started trying out the whole vocoder thingy
Kanye needs to rediscover his raps jare

Nice one now we are sure of Playoff basketball the key now is to avoid the top seed Lakers.What brand of cohiba is Jason Kidd puffing on? he seems up for it tonight

bawomolo:
yall need to calm down, is the Sun's. Old men that can't play defense.

that jason terry 3pt shot was fantastic though.

When would you stop mean mugging?

@Moonstone
Sweets would you talk to CP3 and please make them Hornets beat the Jazz

Are my Maverwimps trying to break some scoring record? 42 pts in a quarter!!

rapjunkie:
M.I is the most overated musician in naija today. The hype surrounding this guy is scary. PLUS he bites loads of Mode9 lyrics and still gets props.

I saw the profile mesage on his FB recently and he reckons that the new music outta naija is not impressing him. Who the f*ck does he think he is? the messiah? Is he taking this 'Naija Kanye West' thing too seriously. He'll be throwing tantrums next!!!

Now I have to put up with that rubbish 'illegal mixtape' where he is singing nursery rhymes with a vocoder !!!!. . . . arrghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

M.I is not over rated he is currently the best rapper out in Naija right now

eldee:
@TOH
C'mon, it has to be Ready to Die

His first-person description of the Rags To Riches story is next only to Nas

Kanye is prolly the most underrated rapper of our time
I don't get ths thing about 'hiphop heads' discriminating against people that speak middle-class English
He's prolly the only rapper I'll be able to relate one-on-one with, if we met this evening

Besides, his bravery is out-of-this world . . . started the whole respectable gentleman thingy in hiphop
For once rappers didn't have to put the whole costume up to drop bars, his creativity?? damn . . . another day's topic

With this his R and B thing i think he is falling off slightly and his recent efforts have kinda tilted him from under-rated to over rated in my books he is closer to that these days.He also needs to cut out the sampling thing

lalaboi:
oi. . . . I have had 3 ibo galfriends . . .and i can speak ibo a bit. . .ibo has nothing to do wiv it. . , . whats the point of listening to a songs when i knw shaka is talking about swagga. . . .he prolly doesnt know what swagga (swagger) means . . . . . . . . .am sick of artistes trying to form a song out of swagger. . . . .like they just heard the word. . . . .Ans the song in question is filled with crappy lyrics. . . .am not interested in "tingalingalin. . .shaka swagga lin"?

Any song that has swagger as its title from a nigerian will not be worthy listening to. . . . .

I just heard another one today from Kc press. . . . ."ginger your swagga" . . . . .make dis guyz go siddon somewer jor. . . .

Mr shaka. . . . .no diss intended oh. . . .i dont like that song. . . . lets leave it at that. . .

Ginger your swagga? WTF don't those fools have drugs to move?

Anything from 50 cent nowadays is enough to get me to turn off my radio or T.V

Jeez King James really put a whooping on the geriatric Spurs's backside today 38 pts!!! and a 20 point blowout they are now 37-1 at home they are on course for a record

Over to the Mavs up by 8!! You can do it!

vanitty:
Aadun (made with maize and palm oil ) I use to and still detest it. My mother used to force us to eat it back in the days.

Aadun was the bomb abeg!! maybe you guys didn't add enough sugar back in the day

Anything that's got Iru(locust beans) heck you could kill me with it

bawomolo:
My position still remains, how do you win MVP one season and lose to the warriors in the first round that season?

Dirk would have a tough time getting in, if dominique wilkins is not in the HOF, why should dirk enter?

Carry your bad belle go front! he is marching all the way to Springfield and the entire Chi-town cannot stop him 

bawomolo:
why wish her bad luck? do you know the juggernaut they are facing at no.7?

No be only juggernaut na coconut  you Malu's would be lucky to win one game in that series

http://www.nba.com/hornets/CP3-4-MVP.html

CP3 really has moves ooh

I think RVP and Nasri might be back in time for the Villareal game Nasri looks very likely but i am not sure about RVP our boys cannot be coming back at a better time there would definitely be a glut of attacking options and the free-scoring Arsenal we have always known would be back in business again

Jeez weren't there any weather forecasts before the race? lol so Button took this one again? this Brawn Mercedes car is something special.I saw the Ferrari car in practice race and those people need to tweak some things the braking is suspect and its not handling corners well it also looks slower compared to last year heck they might have as well raced with a VW Beetle i would be shocked if they don't bounce back even though Brawn look like they mean business

Nice fight back by the Scummies i have to admit.Macheda was class and if y'all go on to win the league this match would definitely be the turning point as for Villa Friedel,Milner and Ashley Young especially all had stinkers gosh are these the cats that want to represent England in the UCL? I laugh in Guatemalan  

One more thing who the hell is that Macheda guy? i suspect this is Nani's last game for Utd this season if y'all don't loan him to Portsmouth next season then Fergie is not better than Eguavoen  

JeSoul:
For Bawo and A-40

I caught this article on nba.com pertaining to your recent beef on whether Dirk belongs in the hall of fame or not.
http://www.nba.com/2009/news/features/rob_peterson/04/03/mvp.20090403/index.html

Apparently 100% of mvp winners get into the hall of fame. Bawo you've lost this round . . .  A-40 congratulations!

E se jare Jesoul omo olope ni e dont mind Bawo he is blinded by jealousy infact for this i am backing y'all to snag 2nd spot in the East from Orlando

JeSoul:
Well for starters I'm east coast all day, every day & any day even if say na bobcats dey represent us I go root for them over the west _{unless its the spurs or hornets I have a soft spot for dem fellas}. Secondly the Lakers are in the same classification as the Yankees and ManU . . . they are evil franchises that you just love to hate

You even hate Man U please tell me you are a Gunner

Today is just going to be crazy!! Spurs vs Cavs Suns vs Maverwimps (If una like make una no win eyin olose) Blazers vs Rockets and Jazz vs Hornets

Is there anyway your Bears can steal Plaxico? besides his guns he would not be a bad addition?

Ifedisky:
Santi Carzola has done his ankle in for the rest of the season!. Fisrt it was Ireland for City, now it's santi for Villareal, who says God is not looking after the Goons?. Bring on tuesday! Cant wait.

Cazorla out?? damn this is almost unfair i think Senna is also injured so our chances of getting a positive result in Spain just got brighter.

Our fabulous captain is back and he showed us what the Premiership has been missing with his eye-popping assists no RVP,Vela,Eduardo,Nasri,Diaby and co. and we still dispatched Man City with ease now this is the depth we have been talking about.Abeg yesterday's match has proven Adebayor cannot be compared to Bendtner at all lets give Pinky time to grow 

@poster of topic
I ain't no expert but if i where you i would take that job quicker than you can say Masters! you can push it back for a year and get some valuable work experience and connections that would beef up your C.V not forgetting you get to have some extra cash in your pocket for that time period

cabali:
@ poster

For u to have an option of masters means u are definitely old enough to make a decision for yourself. so the thread foxes me.

Next thing you will open a thread asking what course you should read or what colour of shirt you should wear on monday.

And like this forum we know, that will still make front page!

Roflmao!!

Kobe came thru with some clutch three's and killed the Rockets heck even Mbenga is ballin and for God sake when would these Mavs stop shaming me?

34 points lead over the Cavs and 4th quarter is not even over yet

Guess who's Bizzack!! - Scarface ft Jay-Z and Beanie Sigel

Got love for me - DMX ft Drag-on

Symphony in X Major - Xzibit ft Dr Dre

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=244427.msg3685239#msg3685239 date=1238780996]On the goal ratio stat, 0.08 is huge as it is almost impossible to have any striker with 1.00 goal/game ratio.
How many players have a ratio of 1 goal per game in their career. Only Gerd Muller in the football history.
Therefore, decimals become HUGE as far as this ratio is concerned.[/quote]0.08 huge? why are you making a mountain out of a molehill? Van Nistelrooy is only 0.01 higher than a 0.5 goal per game ratio and Henry is slightly lower what is the point in comparing him to Gerd Muller knowing fully well that footie these days is much tougher.This difference is minute and negligible especially when you come to look at the roles both have played for country one started out a winger and was converted to a striker the other has been a striker from the get-go
