My baby made me proud today!! Well, he makes me proud everyday but today was extra-ordinary! Happy Birthday to my baby, Rajon Rondo!!. Now y'all know why we're still happily married

The suns sure got some spanking. I say Rondo had some goodluck on his birthday.

Big baby - u sure proved why you shouldn't be traded, now that's my other hus, Sorry booty call. Lmfao, pheww, I joke too much!

Quick Question: Aren't you too young to be talking about booty-calls?

Nice game by Rondo though he can be erratic at times but can be very good too.He needs to work on his shots to become an elite PG

After seeing the way Cleveland pulverized Detroit i can only help but mourn what was once a championship class team that A.I trade really killed them they have lost 6 games straight and are playing like the L.A Clippers

Na waah ooh when would we hear good news about anything related to the Nigerian League jeez no wonder its such a hard sell

My condolences to the fam's of those fans

What has Ade done to warrant all these criticisms??
He doesn't get his credits because he is a Togolese. . . . . .Letz be honest, Ade doesn't get good service from your mediocre midfield.[/quote]Ade ain't the only dude to blame but he has under performed as well.Granted he has not had fantastic service but even when he does get service he has not failed to produce sitter after sitter!! games against Portsmouth,Bolton Cardiff City and West Ham easily come to mind

It would always be Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi! Verdasco and Ivanovic looked pretty good when they where a couple too

Ibime:
Sauron's assertion that democracy can never work in Naija because people like to hold on to power is correct.

For example, look at Kanu Nwankwo. The guy just refused to retire! So tay, he is now playing in midfield as he did against Jamaica. How can you go the WC with 42 year-old Kanu in the team? When are we gonna get rid of these power-hungry old men who keep bringing our country down?

This is a typical African trait its not just Nigerians that are guilty of it

[quote author=fan_tassi link=topic=237785.msg3499237#msg3499237 date=1235294173]please nairalanders, i need ur advice. Tears drop from my eye as i type this.I have been dating this guy for close to a year now.He calls me like once or twice in a week. I send him texts and he never  texts me back. he claims he is too busy with his job.  each time we re together he would want to have sex with me and prefers withdrawal instead of using condom. On val day he didnt call or text me until i texted him. the next day he came asking for sex, i resisted but later let go. two days later, i found myself urinating frequently with blood in my urine and pain while urinating. i went to have my urine tested and was diagnosed with staph aureus. he didnt call me until 4 days later but i ignored his calls. he called just twice and gave up. i have not told him what happened. To me i don't ever want to have anything to do with him, nor with any other man.

I spent close to 7k treating myself. is it that this guy has been keeping other girls? why is he treating me this way? how could he have contacted the infection? is it that he didn't know he had it before he gave it to me? what is the best thing for me to do? I ve been very faithful and loyal to him but he doesn't see appreciate it, I think he's just there to ruin my life. Will have myself tested for retroviral, pray he hasn't given me hiv. Please nairlanders, what do i do?  [/quote]This is Jerry Springer stuff

EPL clubs have been leading in finances for a long time.

That is not news. Medieval time? Dont be ridiculous. The EPL just produced their first player of the year recently. what happened to the fabled management style, stability and what have you when all the good players chose Italian league,
So because FC Porto won CL in 2004 means they were the best league. Now means C.R 7 won player of the year what happened to a league that has produced several and the last one in 2007.

Thats debatable EPL clubs have not always been that rich!! besides Utd the likes of Arsenal,Chelsea and Liverpool where struggling till the EPL got repackaged and all kinds of money Russian,Arab and other foreign investments where made in the league to make the teams what they are today
We all know FIFA has a special bias towards Italian and Spanish teams
Why are you using FC Porto as an example? Where there 3 Portuguese teams in the UCL semis that year?

dayokanu:
Arsenal has only gone beyond the q finals once. Is that what you call consistency? If a team has been playing for 12 years and has not done anything meaningful, consistency like Celtic and FC Porto right? That means in your own consistency Arsenal and FC Porto are more consistent than Milan who have played 3 finals in 6 seasons

Yes it is consistency 10 straight years in the UCL is not a joke because bottomline is they make the UCL knockout phases at least.I don't know why you are bringing Milan in this argument no one is talking about Milan i am talking about the other Spanish clubs you mentioned so stop shifting the goal post

Blockbuster?? I have not seen the film sha but i think its rather overrated

Cristalz:
@A-40
My dear, I amaze myself too. Seems it's very possible in my case. I'm just made up of both. Thanks

Lol don't mind me i don't do too much Astro so its not like i am in the position to know even though they can be scarily accurate sometimes and way off the mark on other occasions.You are more than welcome  

bilms:
i direct my complain to u moderators.

why do u concentrate on  posting on the english premier league alone.

The nigerian premier league deserve such, even if our league is not yet worth to be celebrated, but still u do not show a good quality of proud Nigerian.


you should also post about Nigerian league and carry the people along.

Why not open a thread and DIY!! lets see if you can consistently maintain such thread

Mods cannot run on top of water or walk on thin air

Mourinho kinda knows his way around Fergie so this match could be pretty twisted i would be slow to write Inter off especially if they are able to beat you guys at San Siro

Cristalz:
28th indeed. Honestly, I'm half Pisces half Aquarius. I exhibit both characteristics. Guess the heavens were a tad confused the day I was created

@Sauron
Thanks dude

Is that possible?

Anyways Happy Birthday Miss Criz

dayokanu:
Villareal played the semis Sevilla, Atletico, all qualified from their respective groups. These are teams outside the regular suspect performing relatively well in the CL.

I want to believe you understand the meaning of consistency.Villareal made the semis in 06 and couldn't make the UCL for the next two seasons!! they are in now who knows when next they would make the Champions League? Athletico did not make the UCL since 1998.Last year was Sevilla's first time in the UCL!!
Bottomline there are only two consistent and top teams in Spain Barca and Madrid.Valencia used to be there but they have faltered lately the frustrating part is you did not even answer my question  

dayokanu:
A40,
Italy has Inter, AC Juventus and Roma these clubs are as big as they get They have strong financial backing and a RICH HISTORY to back them particulary the first 3. The greatest players in world football have graced these clubs

Ronaldo Lima, Platini, Zidane, Weah, Rivaldo, Figo, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Baggio, Van Basten, Papin, Matthaus, Cannavaro
All played for at least 1 of the 3 clubs. and what again this is the list FIFA world player of the year from inception save for 2 (Romario and C Ronaldo).

No one can ever beat this!!!!

Why not put up the list of the richest clubs in the world right now and see how the EPL dwarf Serie A clubs? You don't have to go into medieval times to bring up names of players our argument is based on now!

HeatFusion:
Omo ondo, you know I'd have told you, but since we were still avoiding each other, one in culture one in sports, it couldn't happen.

Aww thanks, that meant a lot

Challenge means break into top 4

What do you make of Italian top teams like Inter, juve AC Milan and Roma. AC Milan dropped out last season because they were poor while the gap between them and Fiorentina financially is huge.

AC Milan dropped out and what did Fiorentina go on and do in their place?Did they set Europe on fire? I am talking of challenging on a consistent basis here and not flukish and freakish results besides before that year when last did Fiorentina make the UCL? maybe when they had Batistuta

dayokanu:
Villareal pushed Barcelona to the 3rd position last year. Spain used to have something like a Real, Barca, Valencia, Depor in CL but the smaller teams pushed them out and the Real and barca had to buckle up. Sevilla pushed Barca and madrid hard 2 seasons ago, Sociedad did like in 2003 these are outside the regular.  which team in England has challenged the big four and broken into their ranks? Lack of competition

In EPL  Liverpool and Arsenal have been so poor in recent years but the others cant just have the courage to push them out of top 4.

Valencia had financial trouble and so did Depor so how on earth do you expect them to still be up to speed with Madrid and Barca!! are you kidding me? of what use is challenging for a UCL place one season and almost getting relegated the next where is Real Sociedad and Deportivo now? Name 4 clubs in any one league with the stability that the likes of Chelsea,Arsenal,Man Utd and Liverpool have thats all i ask? If you can't do that then we argue in vain

Ma 9000th post this is amazing i have spent too much time on NL

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=236077.msg3498649#msg3498649 date=1235261158]Idiagbon was too disciplined a man to have turned into a monster.
He was square-toed, the exact kinda leader we need to govern Nigeria.[/quote]Being disciplined does not stop you from being a monster!! You can be a disciplined monster the best military leader would probably have been Murtala but then again all this stuff is just probability the likes of Castro and Hitler all started like that and as they got power drunk turned into something else who says Nigeria would not have been like Cuba if those guys stayed in power.Democracy is still the best option we just ain't doing it right yet

dayokanu:
There are big teams and small teams every where not in England alone but why are the "small teams elsewhere visible and challenge the power houses like I showed you and In EPL they cant challenge.
Dont bring the money issue cos No one can compare the finances of Barcelona to Numancia, bayern to Hannover or Juventus to Cagliari.

which transfer window? The only player that were bought Arshavic Tosic and Ljalic. Madrid also bought Diarra and Huntelaar in that period.

What do you mean challenge? That term is rather abstract you know! the question is do they challenge on a consistent basis or are you hinging your analysis on one or two freakish results that happen from time to time?
As for the other leagues in Europe name any one of them that have 4 teams with the financial muscle that the big 4 of the EPL have?
Ok so i forgot to leave out transfer deals of Man City and Tottenham but my point is there is too much cash flowing among the upper echelon of the EPL and its way tougher for the smaller teams to break in

The EPL is still the strongest league in Europe you shall discover that this week

Lol the truth is we have not had true politicians since the inception of our so-called Democracy i mean people who are really there to serve the masses what we have are political jobbers and opportunists who are only out there to embezzle funds till their wallets and bank accounts become obese!! the problems are not with the laws and the constitutions itself it is with leadership and the crooks we have entrusted to steer our country's ship

Ibime:
There is no style of Government that can suit Naija.

Igbo's prefer village democracy, Yorubas prefer hereditary monarchy, Hausa's prefer Caliphate by consultation or election; whilst in Ijaw land, whoever can raise the biggest war canoe house can vie for the Kingship. Lets call the whole thing off!

Till date, Buhari and Idiagbon are the best things that ever happened to Naija. Thats what we need, a strong good-hearted military dictator to clear the decks. We deserve it, cos we have proved ourselves to be undemocratic.

We could always split if all else fails. . .The old Yugoslavia is now made up of at least 4 or 5 countries so its all gravy
The problem with military dictatorship is they all start good!! Idi-Amin started good so did Kabila and same for Abacha so who is to say Buhari and Idiagbon would not have turned into monsters

Naah half the time they don't know what they are doing on the pitch.I miss the good old days when i would not even need to watch the game but just come home and check how many goals Henry or Pires scored in the match

dayokanu:
How dare you say Arsenal is poor? Dont let Dobosky catch you oh. Is Wenger no longer there or Andrei Arsaviour not there?

This performance was inexcusable Arsenal have been piss-poor

dayokanu:
Honeric That has always been my point. Soon they might say Honeric=Dayokanu.

To some people EPL is just about 4 teams Man utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.

How many times has a mid table team represented EPL in the CL?or any team outside the Big 4 ? This year Milan is in UEFA cup, bayern was there last year. Let them send Everton, Aston Villa, Portsmouth, Tottenham into the CL and lets see if we would have 4 of them in the knockout stage

There would always be small teams and big teams in the EPL you need to live with it can you sincerely compare the finances of the Big 4 in England to the rest of Europe?Infact the last transfer window was a clear pointer!! the money spent by the top clubs in the EPL was double that of Italy,Spain and Germany combined! these teams are so well managed and are sitting on so much cash that it would always be tough for the smaller teams to challenge them effectively hence their consistency in European competitions.Its so simple even a caveman can understand it
Even the so-called Fiorentina that made it into the UCL crashed out in the group stages,Everton also did not make it past the first rounds of qualifying some years back so the pedigree of the big 4 do matter!! besides any top team in Europe would struggle to come 4th in a league with Man Utd,Arsenal,Chelsea and Liverpool

Yeah it does have a bright future lol with online religious riots like these lol

_{Makes 100 yard dash from thread}

debosky:
Compared to the last league game, there was at least one bright spot - we created more chances.

Sadly poor finishing meant we didn't take advantage of the chances created.

I am very pissed off at Vela, RVP and Bendtner for not scoring at least ONE of the chances.

This drawing nonsense must just stop.

Its hard to see bright spots when you draw at home to Sunderland.Why is this Arsenal team so poor?

dayokanu:
A40.
That is what we call competition.

Unlike the EPL where the bottom team are ready to lie down to be raped. Just today Cologne defeated bayern in Germany

I hear ya but competitive or not you guys should not be losing to Cologne!! And come on the lower teams do give top teams a run for their money i don't know where you get your facts from because Chelsea have drawn at home to West Ham,Hull,Newcastle, Liverpool have drawn at home to Stoke,West Ham,Fulham and Arsenal have even done worse by losing at home to Hull and drawing with Sunderland and West Ham

You need to check up on your homies before they give you bad data!! bottom teams do not lie down and get raped in the EPL

Hopefully this would spur other teams on i want Madrid to catch up and then we would have another Classico in the Bernabeu that could possibly decide the title
