van persie is most likely showing signs of fatigue.dts wt happens when u play a footballer week in week out plus even midweek,90mins every game.there were more opportunities for wenger to take off RVP at 70 or 80mins in games which arsenal was leading comfortably n give chamakh or park a run out but thats nt wenger's style.he taps his best player until d player runs dry

very soft penalty.i have seen them given and i have seen players booked for diving for that same play.the current furore is because it is Young...YET AGAIN.
a potential problem for Young and United going forward is that refs will be reluctant to award penalties for fouls on him unless they see blood,bone or brain matter ...... right now i believe no one wants to be the next sucker who awards Ashley Young a dubious penalty

crossed d line after the foul by terry.
thank God there r people like ibime n debosky here who don't get hoodwinked easily.some people especially d simple minded are easily taken in by technical jargon and nebulous ideas that have no factual effect.discussion abt double 6s and single 8s n playing in btw lines n all other profound tactical discourse is best carried out by coaches like JM,Bielsa n Pep.AVB reminds me of those students in med skool that spend their tym cramming all the complex diseases in d world but when d get to d exams they are felled by such simple questions like 'how do u manage cerebral malaria' and 'how do u manage sickle cell crisis'.AVB couldn't see the wood the wood for the trees and was looking for complex solutions to simple problems.
meanwhile the sharp drop in d quality of officiating is really alarming! something is wrong somewhere and the FA and UEFA need to get to the bottom of things.if this is allowed to continue refs will soon start unilaterally relegating some teams and crowning others champions

very good news.congratulations to fabrice,his fiancee,his family and bolton football club

how come the GENIUS did not see what most NL analysts including charlatans saw? very surprising,esp when u factor in his highly acclaimed successes in Portugal and of course his mastery of all modern gadgets.when u add d fact dt it was HIS job on d line not dat of any one here ,u start to wonder if AVB isn't more Albert Brooks than Albert Einstein

guy u have like thousands of posts on NL since u spend so much time here.i have neither the time nor d inclination to go thru ur previous posts looking for back up.i breeze in here to have fun and i breeze out similarly

and ur similarity to smegma persists

who was it dt first said Torres was doing a good job by keeping shepe?

u r full of it
see chelsea fan wey dey pray for d downfall of him own club just to prove that AVB was a misunderstood genius.

nateevs u must b a pinhead,since u continue repeating d same mistakes.
u obviously lack d ability to learn and u r easily impressed n bamboozled by somone spewing out technical lingo without results.dts y u r quick to jump on AVB's
c.o.c.k and never let go,u r like smegma on that Poo,culturing more Poo

its true sha.beside Boss Tanaka O-ren-ishii was the genius,beside The Bride O-ren stoppped looking like a genius.everything is relative

@bluediva
permission granted! though i don't agree with you i understand the reason for your position

nattevs refrain from using words like rubbish when talkin abt someone's opinion it isnt nice.
i never said RDM was a genius(dts y i labelled d changes SIMPLE, r u reading at all or r u just jumping to post) but at least he put those changes into practice.
ur AVB is very good when giving interviews in portugal but shitty in england.he is great with touchscreens but failed to manage men in d EPL.AVB is soooo gud with technical jargons but he failed in EPL,two 8s ko,eight 2s ni! abegi !
sometimes d simple solution is d best solution.na over sabi dey worry d guy

simple changes by RDM that AVB missed
1)Lampard u r old but u hav experience n work rate play a deeper role,u dont have to bomb forward at every opportunity again
2)Mata u r left footed but hv d vision of a player in d hole rather than d speed n athleticism of a winger,leave d left wing n play in d gaddem hole
3)ramires u r tireless,can run both sprints n marathons but cant pass to save ur granny's life,leave d central midfield and race up n down d wings

people were touting d credentials of d guy while choosing not to see what was unfolding before everybody.nobody is downplaying his achievements in Portugal but he was obviously faltering at Chelsea with some idiotic public statements,his poor relationship with many players not just d senior ones.his tactical rigidity(sticking to d same thing when it wasn't working).d new argument to xplain d improved record now is dt new coaches do well,well lets compare d records of AVB n RDM in their first matches!

then ur genius manager from Portugal should have known better!
u cant come to a team and attempt to change everything overnyt,esp when wt u r changing is d way of d old samurai in dt squad.
Wenger inherited a tenacious,non-ball playing backline.did he alienate them even though their style wasnt his? NO he used them(as d foundation of his first great side) for as long as their legs could carry them.
did ferguson immediately chase out d beer guzzlers he met when he arrived at old trafford in 1986? NO ! he still utilised d services of such shakis men as mcgrath and whiteside for a few years still.
that is d difference.i am nt sayin lampard n drogba r d same as 4 years ago BUT AVB could have managed them better

@diggz
malouda had a chance to cut back to another player around d penalty sport but because he heard d arguments of d TFC(Torres Fan Club) here on NL he decided to try to make d difficult pass to Torres,ki oun na sha score.make dem kukuma know say there is no conspiracy against Torres.d Hollywood Star Killers r nt out to end his career

LOL.d reason guys r applauding d efforts of d old guard is cos certain pple here on NL n beyond were ascribing d obvious failures of 2 Iberians (one to manage d team as a cohesive unit,d other d score goals)to d old players.

the rules r pretty vague on dt.left to ref's discretion in most cases

see fight.guys cool down,but is it me or r referees n their assistants becoming more n more useless everyday?
wow torres supporters should just join debating society,una too get reasons why,excuses,causes e.t.c all to xplain why torres misses chances n falls(lol) in order not to fail.chelsea play long when drogba is playin but nt when torres is playin. chelsea wingers r d most selfish since selfish became an english word.chlesea players r too slow,they dont like torres.d london smog is reducing d oxygen flow to torres brain e.t.c haba!

@nateevs
d one against everton where he manhandled joseph yobo is similar to this one but even better

ARE U WATCHING TORRESSSSSSS?

trust everton n david moyes to be ready for us.attitude n hunger must great in dt match cos everton will try n make things difficult for us

ok cameo by nani n cleverly.i love cleverly's neat passing,but he has to improve on his finishing

and guy scores again.oya fergie remove him lets see berba

rooney is having another terrible day at d office.if fergie benches him in d next match now people will b complaining.

agreed.valencia and rafael will hav joy all day down dt ryt.nani should come in for young on d left ind 2nd half for similar effect down dt side

hmmmm.scholes is down

montelik thank u bros.
pple tink its easy to bring continued success like fergie does? fergie is actually overachieving with dis squad and if u tink there is another manager more suited to d long grind of d EPL u must b kidding.
i remember fans were up in arms in d lean years of 04,05 askin for fergie's retirement.how did he hit back? multiple EPL titles,a UCL title n multiple UCL finals.all in d face of city n chelsea throwing money after money at players.
there wasnt anything wrong abt d wigan line up,d difference was d players attitude.and starboard u cant say dt fergie has suddenly lost d ability to motivate after doing so for almost 4 decades,all cos of 1 match.let fans not over react pls,d EPL is still there to b won

its left to the players to decide if they want d title or not.cos the display against wigan was so lacking in spirit n fight.they should view every match as a final and be ready to battle cos no one will hand them d title on a platter.

Scholes cant start every game United play,thats d truth and even when he was a few years younger he was already finding it difficult to play on wknds n d ff midweek.yes mayb fergie could have had him on d bench but dt still doesnt guarantee success! united are 5 points ahead precisely cos SAF doesnt work first team players to d ground and our players r kept relatively fresh all season long.dis is unlike d arsenal of days gone by dt played henry,viera,pires everyday until they ran out of gas in march.d same thing city were doing with toure,silva n aguero.
some r blaming d loss on d missing stalwarts rafael,scholes.wt did d stalwarts on duty rooney,chicharito,valencia n giggs do?
d reason for d defeat was d players were cognizant of our 14-0 win-loss record against wigan nd went there thinking it would be another easy ride.
LACK OF DESIRE TO FIGHT was d reason for the loss not team list.for crying out loud who r these wigan midfielders that carrick,giggs,valemcia,young n rooney could not handle?
d players(not SAF) underestimated wigan.

i agree montelik,fergie probably removed rooney to make a point.that and the fact dt he had been poor all game long.and our forward play actually improved with nani n welbeck on for rooney n chicharito
