You guys might as well focus on the league. There is no UCL to fallback on if you don't finish in the top 4

As for Torres I would take him serious if he is able to get a goal against Sunderland

4 goals in 15 games is still a disgrace for someone monopolizing the CF spot at Chelsea.

bayernobi07: Don't you think they will also worry to play us...
I dont want Dortmund..that's stress..but we will overcome..them when it comes to the Champions League
My challenge is Just Barcelona.

Well you are right. Let's wait for the draws. Either way you have to beat who is in front of you to win it!

bayernobi07: Supersports analysts have mentioned us amongst the 4 teams to win this thing.
It wasnt me that said this,.,,this is what the epert analysts said themselves....mentioning 4 teams.
Based on current form and capability in order of....

Barcelona...Bayern Munich..Dortmund..Madrid.
Mian sia Mia.

I'm not a big fan of tagging teams as favorites it can sometimes put undue pressure on you and none on the opponent. I hope they are not listening to that at the Sabener Strasse

debosky: Please come first so you can face Arsenal. . . .

Looool we would leave y'all FUBAR. Its always sorrow, tears and blood each time we face u ninjas

Comfortable win in the end. Shaqiri was majestic Gomez sharp and Juup rotated the squad well giving guys like Contento,Rafinha playing time. Boateng's sending off was the low point and we might have to buy come January now

Porto,Arsenal,Milan,Madrid,Shakhtar,Celtic,Galatasaray

Really not bothered who we draw. No disrespect to the other teams but the teams I dread the most are Dortmund and Barca

Dante,Schweini and Martinez one yellow card away from suspension. I guess its best they ride the bench on this one.
Might mean the dreaded Van Buyten could get a start

Gomez or Pizza should start today. Let Mandzukic take a breather

I nominate montelik and Royal abi person no fit nominate pass 1?

Ahh yes! At least now we know he is straight. I apologize for suspecting he could be a batty boi

Suprised LeBron and co lost to the Wizards

The Lakers?? Hmm Phil Jackson's curse must be working on em. They can't sack D'Antoni cos they gave him a 4 year deal. I really don't get how the team has sunk to this depth even though they are missing both their starting and backup PG

@Royal
Gasol has been crap this season. Let's not blame it all on Howard here

Chelcy10: goal difference will be counted b4 head to head will be aplied

Lmaoooo!!

dayokanu: Millionaire clubs like PSG and Malaga are respecting themselves and topping their groups despite not having the CL pedigree but Citeh cant even win a game

Tottenham,Napoli and Apoel Nicosia (from phucking Cyprus) advanced without pedigree. Ninjas are just full of excuses

dayokanu: By Debos Logic we should expect Sevilla or CSKA Moscow given their Europa cup Pedigree to win the CL

No mind am. Grown man intentionally acting dumb to be on the right side of an argument. Smh

debosky: That's not the question - the initial discussion was around Citeh and Dortmund's current performances. Dortmund as a previous winner has more CL pedigree than Citeh - that is incontrovertible.

That's why I brought in the Dortmund example *yawns* tell me something that I don't know

debosky: As I said before this phantom controversy began, I've said that Citeh has underperformed in Europe, and you can't directly compare two different club's trajectories in Europe.

EVEN IF we were to compare (i.e. we shouldn't in the first place/this is just beside the way) their respective histories in the UCL (and by extension in Europe as a whole) gives Dortmund the advantage of pedigree.

As for their UCL pedigree before winning in '97, they won the competition in their second year in the UCL. However - this is where the Uefa Cup experience comes in - while it may have been a 'third tier' competition, the ability to manage competing both in Europe and domestically over an extended period of 6/7 seasons prior to their win ( a period in which they lost in a final) likely aided them in eventually winning the UCL. Compare that to Citeh's recent experience of 4 seasons in Europe (2 Europa league group of 16, and 2 CL campaigns) and the difference is clear.

Hehehehehe see this verbose ninja! Comparing experience acquired in a lower competition to UCL experience. Did you factor the step up in competition??
You can't acquire pedigree for a competition you didn't participate in for goodness sake!!

Chrisbenogor: I think say na only me see am oh

Some leads go turn deficit this December

lekkie073: wetin be ya team name? make i go check before i give u reply

My team is managed by Senor Ortiz

dayokanu: Debo the question is simple, What was Dortmunds UCL pedigree before they won in 1997

He won't answer the simple question. I even specified the tournament we where talking about to give him no wiggle room just incase ninja tried to pull a rabbit out his arse.

debosky: ^^ I'm done with you. Someone whose reading comprehension skills are worse than a 3 year old's and can't even remember the rubbish he said a few weeks ago.

After realizing you don't have an argument you go ahead to obfuscate the issue.
I asked this suegbe what was Dortmund's UCL pedigree? Maga discovers his folly but brings in participation in Level 3 tournaments to save face. So who has reading comprehension problems?

So since Arsenal has won 10 FA cups we can say they have a high League Cup pedigree afterall its the same English competition. Do you see how ret@rded your argument sounds

debosky: You knew this is why you said:



https://ebengregory.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/50laugh.gif

Sharrap!! The fact that I hammered on UCL performance ought to have clued this simp. Look at this google @nal-ist you didn't even know that prior to our argument

debosky: Really?



Who has cataracts now?



Erm. . . because UCL is a European competition - i.e UCL is a subset of Europe in this sense.

What was their pedigree in the UCL itself? How many finals and semi-finals did they get to before winning in 97
Dortmund playing in Europe for 6/7 consecutive seasons before winning. Hahahahaha Debosky can you prove that white hot lie?

But Of course I wouldn't put it past you to omit the first part of my post. I even added 'winning' or did Dortmund win the UEFA Cup

debosky: Erm. . . because UCL is a European competition - i.e UCL is a subset of Europe in this sense.

If you where not such a simp you would notice I limited my argument to Dortmund's participation in the UCL itself you where the one that kept slipping and sliding round the issue. Lemme let u in on a secret. I knew about Dortmund being frequent and consistent qualifiers to the Uefa Cup in the 90's which was why I limited the argument range to UCL performance

So if I say what is GEJ's record as a President Broda odensi like Debosky would come up with his performance as Bayelsa state governor. After all na public service

debosky: I said Dortmund played in Europe (not UCL/Champions Cup) for 6/7 years before winning - you said it was a 'hot lie'. People who have comprehension skills would've asked how many of the 6/7 were in Europe's premier competition, not calling it a 'hot lie'.

Maybe you can't read or have some form of cataract in your eyes! I said Dortmund playing in UCL for 6/7 years was a white hot lie! I didn't say Europe.
Why would you bring in Europe when the debate was about the UCL in the first place? Or where we arguing about general performances in Europe. Debosky is putting on his simpleton hat just to save an argument he clearly lost!! The argument just in case you where suffering from amnesia at the time (still think you are) was what was Dortmund's pedigree in the UCL before they won it?

debosky: While arguing it is permissible to introduce additional evidence that supports your main point. Or is that also something you've forgotten?

You call that evidence?? Debosky has sunk deeper into the morass.

debosky: Excellent - I hear y'all are getting a 'we got beaten in our backyard final' plaque from Platini too.

Of course right after Trophyless Season 8 premieres on major networks across the globe

And they said Tim Duncan was boring lol. From my experience quiet ninjas can be dangerous

nateevs: It's become apparent that you and I cannot have a conversation.
Do I have to keep explaining this to you?

What is the difference between what Mystical said and I saying Ibime is a very intelligent poster and gets many things right?

Oga swerve!! I resemble babe ni? Abi I tell you say I wan follow you get conversation

nateevs: That's just plain childish mate. I was thinking we could have a mature discussion here.
For many of the spats we have on here, I still had the humility to say in my post that Ibime is a very intelligent poster.
For you to come back with me being angry about what not is way out of line.

Ninja why are you being salty about this? I even put two smileys to show that it was said in good spirit
It was just my opinion so I don't know why you dey form Adams Oshiomhole for here

nateevs: The reason why I tackled your post was in reference to you asking us to pay homage. Then going ahead to qualify the depth of the ingenuity with a proverb.
Someone has to say it's OTT stuff. Especially as Ibime, though very astute, has got an awful long very very wrong.

Are you the only Chelsea fan here? If you no wan pay homage na by force?
Even Mystikal said only Ibime is making sense here those where his words not mine

Ahh so you are the one that hasn't got an awful lot very very wrong right?

dayokanu: Torres has a total of 7 goals in 1900mins of football Thats an average of 1 goal every 270min or better still 1 goal every 4hours 30mins of football. Yes Torres has indeed improved

Torres has played 23 games this season started in 22 of them. Scored 7 goals in 30hours of football He deserves ballon D or for such improvements

Point of correction Torres has scored 6 goals
4 in the League
1 in Europe
1 in Capital One

Michu 2million pound signing from Rayo Vallecano is already on 10 EPL goals

nateevs: Everybody body gets things right once in a while dude. Every single fan on here has said at least one thing right.
The fact that you stumble on what Ibime said that came right is no award for best poster.

Ibime is an intelligent guy. Very intelligent poster. I will be the first to admit he gets things right.
There are however, so many things he got and gets very wrong just like anyone.

It doesn't matter when it occurred. There's no justification for what you said.

Are you mad cause I didn't pick your post?? you are the only person I see complaining here
Nobody gets it right all the time and he did own up to his comments on Drogba. Besides where you on Drogba's side?
You have to admit his assessment on this Chelsea team was spot on or isn't it what we are seeing now?

lekkie073: r u implying dat u always make mistakes? abi na whose fault?

Why not direct your question Google or Bing?

debosky: That's rich. . . coming from Mr I didn't know UEFA Cup was a European competition.

Later you would say someone lacks comprehension skills. We where arguing about pedigree in Europe's premier competition Debosky is bringing participation in UEFA Cup and Intertoto Cup. Smh when did you degenerate to this Debosky?

debosky: It remains an achievement - if you don't like it. . . .you know what to do.

Platini has ordered UEFA to design a plaque for yall! you would get it on Arsenal's next anniversary

nateevs: Yeah yeah. He saw this as far back as 2008.







Ibime is an OG! We should pay homeage.

Why don't you bring out what he said since the Big Bang?
He called Chelsea's deficiencies and sounded the alarm bells early when some of you ninjas where getting boners about Mazacar and how they would combine with Torres

nateevs: Bros take it easy. I used your post to forward a message. My response had nothing at all to do with you.

I aint a mind reader? How am I supposed to know

nateevs: Hmmm! According to mofos, Emenalo was a fool for sending Lukaku out on loan and buying Moses. Now we have someone from the same camp who believes that actually, it was the right move.
Well unless he's not in the same camp. Or it could just be that mofos don't know what they are yarn. . . . again!

What's with the subliminals? Are you illuminati?
How can anyone with common sense call sending Lukaku to West Brom an RDM failing when we don't know who even made the call in the first place?? I'm not even Anti-Emenalo and I also don't get this camp talk. Lukaku is an EPL greenhorn at 19 makes perfect sense to send him on loan

Ibime: Isnt it funny? The same guys who launched campaign to get some of our best performers out the team to "clear space for talent" are now coming back to give excuses for their non performance. "They are still in development", "Calculate how many games they've played ", "They are only 21", "They are too small" and yada yada yada.

Didn't they know all these when campaigning to "clear space"?

This week Benitez came out to say these boys have no physical or mental strength and they are losing confidence from being physically dominated. Yet some of our esteemed friend think "we dont have enough MaZaCars"

First of all, I have no problem with the new guys, neither would I blame them entirely for the recent run given that their striker is not firing,. . . their defensive midfielder was not built for them. . . and they are demoralised by Roman's actions recently. They are the spark we've needed to make a difference in certain games over the last few years but style doth not a team make. The style is only an add-on to a solid base.

But the technical director decided to overstock on style with no base. For one, Mikel is a no-no to carry such lightweight midfield.



I am tired of repeating myself consistently for months whilst others blame calculators, age, Lampard, need for more Matas, tiredness, RDM, and invent new DIAGNOSES of the problem every week.


Let's hark back to the summer :


May 29th 2012:

Ibime is an OG! So you said this as far back as May? You ninjas should pay homage or pay the doctor
Truly what an old man sees sitting down a young man would climb the Himalayas and not see it

I love this game punishes your every mistake! Suarez or Ba I choose Suarez make him skipper forgetting he is one yellow away from a ban.

Ibime: These forking shapeshifters. . . .

Ogheneme!!! I even missed that part! Edumare would bless you this December! Your cup shall run over with 100's

I don't know why Debosky is not on True Blood with his shape shifting skills

Ibime: Now check the eediocy of his statement:



(1.) The same fool who said Torres is a top player now claims loaning out Lukaku is a mistake. If Torres (who's been healthy all season) is a top player, loaning out Lukaku should be no mistake.

(2.) The snake even takes his deception further by blaming RDM. Isnt the person who signs the players tasked with the responsibility of building the squad? Do you sign players without clearing space for them? You can't buy every single player, yet claim you didnt sell. Before you buy, you calculate who goes out to make space for your signings. Please see Nateevs if you need help calculating this simple fact.

Only a simpleton would blame RDM for Lukaku's exit on loan what is wrong with sending a 19 year old ninja on loan at a club like Chelsea. People are too dimwitted to realize that it could actually be a blessing in disguise as he would wind up with more playing time and would return a better player most likely! Even if he had stayed where is the playing time he woulda had as we all know about RA's man crush on Torres! Even Sturridge that's higher up the pecking order has hardly had playing time so where does hope lie for Lukaku?

Sweet sweet Victory! Even without Big Ben! What I would give for a decent pair of receivers. Wes Welker,Megatron e.t.c
Mike Wallace must be 51/50 if he expects an improved contract with his performances these last few weeks
Polamalu looked a bit rusty but its good to see him back regardless
The dilemma now is do you give Big Ben another week to heal or allow Charlie Batch continue
B.More is within touching distance but we definitely can't get a first round bye so it obfuscates things a bit

debosky: You have serious reading comprehension problems that I can't help. Do you now need to be spoon-fed the definition of highlighting as well?

Highlighting a failing does NOT imply an improvement. If one of RDM's failings was letting Lukaku go on loan thereby overworking the remaining striker for example, how do you 'see improvement' when the same Lukaku is still on loan?

What is wrong with Kermit the Frog? So when you highlight something do you highlight for the phock of it or to improve where the other person failed? Abi which kin nonsense example you dey give sef? Lukaku is gone so what is Sturridge? A goalkeeper? Victor Moses nko?

debosky: I'm not surprised you forgot - we can add forgetfulness to the list of your ailments including lack of reading comprehension ability.

Of course I don't expect a simpleton like you to recognize sarcasm. Mr I didn't know Dortmund won the UCL at their 2nd attempt

dayokanu: Maybe you should ask during the tenure of all Managers how many teams qualify for the Champions league/ European cup from each league?

if Wenger operated under the same circumstance instead of the 16 seasons you are shouting about he would have played just 3 seasons of CL football Those seasons he won the league

Post of the day

debosky: Ok - Wenger is a bridesmaid. No other manager in Arsenal's history has achieved that level of 'bridesmaidness' in the premier European Competition.

Of course I've forgotten its Arsenal we are talking about here the standards aren't that high
