The way these niggas astronomically increase the price of a player after one good season or in Sigurdsson's case half a season gets u wondering

I don't believe Uli Hoeness is that irresponsible! 25 million is too much for the chap! I'd rather go for M'vila

davidif: WOW!!!! IT SEEMS THAT THE LAKERS HAVE TAKEN THE WEST FROM US THEN.

IBAKA! YOU BETTER GO LEARN SOME POST MOVES FROM "THE DREAM" THIS OFFSEASON O. WE ARE REALLY GOING TO NEED IT BIG TIME.

Yeah the fact that they where able to keep Gasol kinda makes it mission impossible for the rest of the West.

Not just post moves but a reliable short/mid-range J that can neutralize shot-blockin.

@Royal
Deep down u know u are as excited as hell! If Dwight can drop the diva act he's been displayin these last couple of seasons then the Lakers are good

Whew that was too close for comfort! Just nicked it in the end! Everyone sorta ran out of steam as the match went on. However what I can deduce is Dortmund isn't giving up on their title without a fight!

Under 2 weeks to go. Plenty time to make moves and rectify things

Maybe its too early to say Chelsea has overpaid for Hazard but for 32 mil dude looked like a complete mug! Wondering why neither him nor Mata got substituted after the red card! They didn't do much all day

To be fair to Chelsea Ivanoviv's sending off was harsh

Lewandoski pulls one back! All of a sudden we can't seem to get the ball off of Dortmund

Halftime! Got off to the best possible start with 2 quick goals tho we sorta went off the boil later in the half but its allowed as Dortmund has asked no questions whatsoever. Dante and Mandzukic are looking like steals so far. We wouldn't lose too many games if we play this well

Gustavo and Can on bookings tho

Badluck just dey follow this Robben sha na so e for miss that goal

2 goals in 11 mins

The gang are smoking! Mandzukic just scored from a sweet Ribery cross

Happy birthday DK! Hopefully FCB gift wrap the supercup for u bro

Beef doggy dogg! These american drug cheats are just mad that they've been dethroned. Carl Lewis is a phocking disgrace

O ma ti sele ooh! Dwight Howard does a Shaq and joins the Lake-show. We can now forget about the Heat as champions-elect. Barring injuries I don't see the Lakers not winning it all next year

dayokanu: The thing is Juup prefers Lahm on the right wing cos he believes he is more effective there especially behind Robben.
Another option that was tried is Gustavo as LB and Tymoschuk as DM

Dortmund is not the team to faff around with abeg! He should bring in Dante and move Boateng to the right that is better than the Gustavo option

I'm not in support of buying Song really not because I don't think he is better than Gustavo (he is but he is surrounded by defensive mugs I mean its damn near impossible to have defensive discipline when playing at a club that has none) but because we simply don't need him he would even have to go for CAN as well so buying him would be madness so would be paying anything over 20million for Martinez which by the way his coach Bielsa has threatened to resign should he be sold.

I heard Gomez would be out till October? Is that true? Mandzukic is lucky tho! Big chance to prove himself

That whole Spanish team stank

Hahaha is it that bad? The game is at the Allianz Arena which we have lost to em twice in a row never mind May 19. Something has to change tho and it starts Sunday. Who do you have playing LB with both Alaba and Contento out? I still suggest they pair Badstuber with Dante and move Lahm there

Muki I didn't get the FA codes ooh please send again

dayokanu: Mikel, Song I dont regard that high.

Martinez I havent seen long enough, De Rossis form has dropped in the last 4yrs.

Alaba was falling down and he had to break his fall before the dolt Kassai awarded a penner and yellow

Come on man let's keep it a 100! Gustavo is not as good as any of those guys I listed. I am not saying he can't wind up being better but presently they are not in the same league.

Lol come on u don't fall like that in the box 18! Key thing is his hands where away from his body

Enuff of this old stuff! How we dey negotiate Sunday? We have to beat Borrussia! O to ge! What lineup would u go with

Yup I give you that just that he was overpaid for which is my original point! He did foul Ozil in that Madrid game (a lot) not dangerous fouls but fouls nonetheless

The penalty was soft but I have seen them given! His hands where in a suspicious position to be fair to the ref

Lol has he scored for us sef? The average DM is usually poor in front of goal or even going forward. How many goals did Makalele or the legendary water carrier score. Me I don't hold that against him

Who are the top 5 DM in Europe BTW
In no particular order (Martinez,Busquets,Mikel,Khedira,Song,Gundogan,Arturo Vidal,Daniele De Rossi,Ricardo Montolivo) Baba dem yapa time and space no go gree me to continue

dayokanu: In this current market can you define what overpaid is? We bought Gustavo for 17m. Martinez asking price is 40m

Can we say Martinez is 3 times better than Gustavo? Gustavo shut down Madrid effectively. I was watching the game with friends and no one can really say Gustavo was rough on Ozil

Everyfucking time he was always getting the ball first.

He was key to our game at the Bernabeu.

I dont think Martinez would put Gustavo in jeopardy cos 1. Schweinsteiger has been in and out of injury for the past one yr and not a guarantee. Secondly Tymoschuk and Gustavo are too limited attackingwise. Kroos is too lightweight to be the second midfielder.

This Schweinsteiger injuries might push us towards Martinez more and possibly push Tymoschuk out of Allianz.

Also there is our youth player 17yr Emre Can. He was a star in the last FIFA U-17. He can also get some minutes here and there

Come on Gustavo is an average joe! Would u lost him among the top 5 DM's in Europe? That Martinez is supposedly rated as 40million (which no one is going to pay anyway) doesn't mean Gustavo wasn't overpaid for
He did an excellent job on Ozil but I remember him fouling him a Iot! I stopped counting at 8. There's a reason why he missed the final and obviously used as the sacrificial lamb
Schweinsteiger isn't a crock these injuries are exceptions not the norm so I feel he would come back what I worry for is his form and fitness
Martinez is not better than Tymoschuk or Gustavo by much and also Tymo can play CB so I am sure there would be a role for him

davidif: Why didn't we make any adjustments throughout the game? We should have keyed in on them and chase them off the three point line. Goodness! what awful coaching!!! why didn't we hire an American coach like Mike D'Antoni, Larry Brown, Don Nelson or even Phil Jackson (hahhaha)?

That team overachieved by even qualifying for the Olympics in the 1st place. The allocation for the entire ministry of Sports in 10 years cannot pay their salaries
The USA game was a disgrace tho

dayokanu: I have a feeling we would still make a late move for Martinez or another Central midfielder.

That would prolly put Gustavo's position in jeopardy! Still think we overpaid for him. He did do a decent job on Ozil in the UCL semis that's his high point but he was lucky cos a stricter ref may have sent him off

[quote author=~Royal~]Roger could have at least made it look less obvious...it was a poor acting job... 6-2 - 6-1? Lmfao


This is Andy Majorless Murray we are talking about here......LmL
[/quote]Somehow I don't doubt this! We don't agree on a lot of things but I'm inclined to agree this time. This is Andy Murray we are talking about here! Plus Roger is nice like that! He doesn't need this gold to cement his legacy

dayokanu: Schweinsteiger, Gomez, Alaba, Contento, Rafinha out injured in pre season already

https://uberhumor.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/junJh.gif

No problem nau
Gomez - Mandzukic,Pizarro
Schweini - Kroos, Muller
Rafinha - Boateng (Dante moves central)
Alaba,Contento - Lahm
Abi ki lo ku??

Do you see us still buyin tho?

dayokanu: The 2 Euro cup losses to Czech and Denmark were bad too because they were to minnows. The 1976 loss broke the german dominance of the 70's And the 1992, I fully expected Germany to win.

You sure about the twitter parole?

tkb don yarn am before but I no believe

I think one can only attribute what happened in 92 to fate. I was a bit too young to expect anything from Germany then but it was just meant to be for Denmark

So long as u have time for it. Dem full ground oh

mukina2: ^
dang!

What's the matter? You look like you just saw a ghost. You do know this PM system is no good right? I didnt get the codes ooh! U know where to find me

dayokanu: Thomas Muller's major issue is that he is always being tossed around. He is our deputy right winger when Robben is injured, Deputy Left winger when Ribery is injured, Deputy attacking midfielder when Kroos is injured. He gets tossed everywhere and he is humble enough not to complain.

I think this thing is not only with this generation even the Breitnigge generation Rummenigge and breitner lost 2 CL finals to Aston Villa and FC Porto in games they completely dominated, They lost world cup finals in 1982 and 1986 to Italy and Argentina

Contrary to popular believe Germany is one of the least clinical countries in the world

Bayern has lost 5 CL finals 4 of which they dominated completely (1982, 1987, 1999, 2012) even 2010 to a large extent

Germany has lost 3 World cup finals and 3 Euro finals(Cezch, Denmark and Spain 2008)


I am sure Robben would give himself brain and move away from penalties

I am not on twitter so I dont know if bayern has an ID, It would probably be in German though

Well i think thats because he has not established himself in one position. Truth is his form has also kinda dropped which is why he is being tossed around. I think those losses where not as agonizing as these ones except for the Argentina one

Lol i thought i was the only one that observed that misconception. Germany has actually lost 4 World Cup Finals and three Euros. I think why Germany is so respected is because of what they do with limited resources, German players are not the most technically gifted in the World but they get the utmost from what they have regardless. Since 82 Germany has only failed to reach the Semis of a World Cup twice. Thats an astounding record anyway you look at it

You aren't on Twitter?? Omo de yan pia ni be ooh!

Heading to managerial boot camp so someone please send me the codes. Obrigado

davidif: Have you watched the video yet You said the Heat played "hard" that's why i sent you the video. If you watched the video, you would know how inaccurate and funny that statement is.

Dudie Pause! When i saw Skip Bayless my default reaction was to say what i said . They had a smaller lineup and still outrebounded y'all,scored more points in the paint and forced more turnovers. I won't even mention the fact that some of their players (Wade,Bosh,Miller) all played with injuries. I guess your definition of "playing hard" is much different from mine i would love to know what it is

@MrBrownJay
Massa has always been a sitting duck to be honest. Besides 08 when he ran Hamilton close he has not offered much else plus his car crash has hardly helped him.

Beaf: The most useless WDC's in living memory:

1. Jacques Villeneuve
2. Jenson Button
3. Sebastian Vettel

Living memory is defined as the last 15 - 20 years.

https://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w275/oesinorden/c650.gif

Arrrrrggggh not this nigga again!! You even include Jacques Villeneuve in ur list of useless WDC that says it all! By the way Vettel hating in full-effect i see. Try as you may to sound objective your Beaf for Vettel always shines thru! Isn't this what i was chastizing you over last season? Thank God you have openly admitted he is useless which vindicates me. Anyway haters gonna hate

omar22: Lewis was the last driver to win a WDC with a RACING CAR!!!!

No diffuser
No Kers
No Mass Damper
No Flexible wings
No Engine Mapping

This argument never ceases to annoy every fiber of my being! It isn't like all the other drivers don't have rights to these technologies

I like Hamilton he is one of those guys that makes F1 enjoyable though i wont put it past him to phock up tomorrow! I see my boy Vettel finishing at least 2nd! Watch this space

justwise: [/b]

It doesn't need to be drastic, finishing outside point position 2 or 3times will change the game

Thanks for pointing that out! Its not over by a long shot

MRbrownJAY: i am also not too pleased that Alonso is fighting at the top with the RBRs at the moment, i would rather it is Ham, as i certainly believe that he is the better driver ....... now imagine if yesterday's race started with Alonso and Ham on pole?! then we would have seen some fantastic driving skills/ manœuvres.

its still mid championship and the lead is only 34pts (Webber) and 44pts (vettel), one DNF and it will all be gone, Alonso/Ferrari needs to keep the pressure and the car in tip top shape!

now all the Alonso doubters should think about this thought for a minute: many came within DRS distance of Alonso yesterday, yet none could overtake him. we can NOW confirm that Ferrari got the car that could possibly win this championship. although it hasnt got the extra edge of the 2010/2011 RBR it certainly has a better skilled driver, lol!

Ham is too emotional and sometimes just tries too hard thats what separates him from Alonso who is a cold hearted killer. He has an average car but would rather drive it to the ground than play damage control

dayokanu: I am thinking Shaqiri would push several of our first teamers. Shaq looks like a strret footballer and he is still young.

This is the season our boyz need to prove themselves

Losing 2 finals in 3 years. They need to win something

Not seen a lot of Shaqiri but i can tell he is still raw he would come good tho. Its Tommy Muller i really want to see make that step up

I was going to talk about that. What do we do about this close but no cigar niggas?? Cos its hard to buy or even teach killer instinct. You either have it or you don't. This is arguably going to be the toughest UCL yet.

I have a few suggestions tho. Robben should not be designated spot-kick taker and Van Buyten should never feature in an important game lol

What's Bayern's id on Twitter!! Not sure there's much of a presence there

[quote author=A-40]You post a clip with Skip Bayless on it?? Don't you know he is like the biggest LeBron hater in the Universe??[/quote]Since Blake Griffin has popped his knee again I do hope he is learning post and hi post moves for them rainy days when he can't leap out of the arena

good1025: Is it a good sign for a Fans to be criticizing the main player, the Actor. Will a Star Trek Fan abuse Captain Kurk or Dr . Spock? If the Captain or the Doctor make a mistake a real fan have to give them time to recover.

The anguish of what Chelsea did to them in that Stadium is what is causing this. Imagine a girl going though heart break on her marriage day, she will eat and eat till she will become overweighted .

Okay, just look at Drogba, I will not add again.

Guy the picture na joke nau

dayokanu: Brenos contract has been terminated by the jailterm, lazio was reportedly interested but also stopped after the sentence

GK Neuer has Starke, RB Lahm has Rafinha, LB- Alaba has Contento (Both young but there are no quality LB in the market), CB Boateng and badstuber have Dante and vanBuyten(hopefully would never get to him), CM- Gustavo has tymoschuk, CM2- Schweinsteiger has Kroos, Wingers Robben and Ribery have Shaqiri and Muller, AM- Muller, kroos, Shaqiri, Striker Gomez, Mandzukic and Pizarro

I get you Baba. So who are you looking at to make a big splash this season?? I for one want to see Tommy Muller get back to his form of the 09-10 season to me he is the most intelligent player going forward never mind versatile
