U are a wise man; u will go far in life

E shock you?

Afrodoc, I remember we had discussed the level of debt at Utd vs Chelsea at some point, and I said that some clubs have more debt vs Utd, but we don’t see it because of the structures they’ve adopted.

Utd’s debt today is less than 500m while Chelsea is owing over 1.5 billion pounds……and apparently, Abramovich wants his money. This is delaying the takeover transaction.

Who doesn’t know that Chelsea has huge debt?

The difference between how Chelsea incurred their debt and how ours came about is key.

See I don’t have much energy to start rehashing pages on pages of debates. The records of how you defended the Glazers and Ed Woodward at every juncture are there for all to check.

Whenever I criticised the Glazers you defended them by default. Whenever I criticised Woodward you defended him by default. Now everybody has come to realise that Woodward with the full backing of the Glazers was running a banana republic.

If you think the Glazers and Woodward were great for the club, congratulations.

Ellexy:
I'm really excited about the Timber rumours.

I would be reluctant to play him at CB in EPL with his lack of height. Maybe ETH wants to use him as a RB.

BlueRayDick:
Has anybody here been able to change Raumdeuter's view that Hazard is more than shakushaku master? Or has anybody been able to convince him Van Djik is actually a good defender despite his habitual finger pointing ?

Like I said, most people who change their religious views because of such arguments only did so because they've always have those doubts for a long time, the arguments only amplified the doubts and they become bold enough to damn the consequences .

.

You are actually buttressing his point. The debates/arguments are not to convince Dayo or the pro-Hazard fans but for the many undecided and fence-sitting ones.

Pro-Hazard will never agree. Anti-Hazard will never agree. But those in the middle can be swayed.

Oasis007:


..... wait till Manchester United officially bid for him, then you gonna know he's not cheap.

He won’t be expensive. Dutch league players are usually based on the I never chop status of the clubs.

But I don’t trust that Antony sha.

Ass-Anal. Adete. Marriage made in hell.

All for Nothing.

Welcome to Yoruba League.

Gentlemen, please welcome our Nairaland resident Extremist-In-Chief, Lukgaf.

Amoto94:
Lukgaf welcome

TrebleChamp:
Na this man wan help Ten Haag succeed? McTominay should be loaned out asap ooh...

LOL. Not going to happen, at least until the end of the first season. With all the godfathers McTom has in that club they will give him countless opportunities.

MRTA7:
Can we have a new thread for the ETH era. Let this thread die please.

Let us wait and see if there is any difference first.

After everything ETH might still be wearing the same the same pata with our previous managers.

Conference League! Here we come!

A40:
Bros just yarn us your mind. Nobody fit do you anything

What do you prescribe as appropriate punishment for the girl? Did she deserve death whether peaceful or violent. No need for lollygagging just come straight

The guy get enough time to carry out Stanford-Binet test for me but not enough time to answer simple kweshon wey I ask.

I am merely a truth-seeker. I like people who say things with their chest.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Amoto94 is saying he doesn't support the mob killing Deborah, but he supports that she should die for blasphemy

So, according to him, she should be caught by the mob and taken to the court, where she must be killed for blasphemy.

So the problem is not that she was killed. He only faults how she was killed. It's barbaric, disgusting and inhumane. Beheading her in a competent Sharia court is better

That's his point[/color]

We want him to say it with his chest. Say it for the culture. Say it like he really means it.

There should be no room for ambiguity.

Amoto94:
You are way more intelligent than this silly joke you're attempting.

Thank you. But it was a question not a joke. A question you didn’t answer by the way. If people don’t bridle their tongues is it right for them to be killed?

And should the same punishment be imposed on muslims when they don’t bridle their tongues about other religions?

The focus here indeed is religious intolerance like you have alluded to, not on the part of the poor girl that was burnt but her school mates that murdered her.

That should be your focus not unbridled tongues. And you should be intelligent enough to know this. Anything short of this and you are nothing but a terrorist apologist in sheep’s clothing.

Amoto94:
Of course there is need for self control and there is also need for people to bridle their tongues.

If people don’t bridle their tongues they will be beheaded and burnt by the mob ba?

GloryIsaac:
Same here. Way everyone talked about it, one’ll think they finished Nottingham Forest.

They didn’t play up to their usual standard, partly because of the pressure on them and partly because of the tactics employed by the Forest manager (Warren Joyce) who is an ex-United youth coach.

I suspected the pressure would be huge cos there more people there than the capacity of all the other premier league club stadia apart from Old Trafford. And not ordinary fans only, SAF and current players and even club legends were there.

Secondly Joyce used a 3 man back line and packed his midfield with physically imposing players. They then pressed us at the back which limited our ability to play out at the back with Vitek our ball playing goalie.

We then had to resort to long balls since Vitek and his defenders were pressed so hard. Unfortunately our most advanced players McNeill the no9 and Hansen-Aaroen the no10 are not built for aerial balls. This was what took the game out of our hands as Gore and Mainoo the 6 and 8 were limited to mop up duty.

Second half our manager removed McNeill for Hugill who can hold up the ball better to try to improve things but it was until Oyedele (who is quite a bully) came in for Hansen-Aaroen to play the 6 (thereby sliding Gore up to 8 and Mainoo up to 10) that we finally had control of the game.

ChristoBam:
Not sure Kalvin Phillips can come to United. Even Ferdinand that came from Leeds to United said Phillips cannot make the move. His whole family, cousins, grandma, everyone live in Leeds. He's a Leeds boy through and through.

I know na. Na wishful thinking. His family is like 3-4 generations old as Leeds fans.

But I would trust that combo more than others I have watched.

Khanben:
What of CP3, Booker are they also bad midrange shooters. You keep bringing up this argument as if we all don't know if we judge by modern standards the likes of Kobe, Tmac and Ai so called midrange masters will be called inefficient shooters. The only wing player in history who shot the midrange at an efficient percentage is MJ and that is the whole list

Not only MJ. Bernard King was a quiet midrange killer. And very efficient too.

Your general premise on 3 vs 2 is right though as teams become more proficient at shooting and guarding 3s it opens up potential real estate for a midrange expert.

GloryIsaac:
Honestly sometimes it gets really annoying. Look how they’re trying to put the blame for their poor performance on coaching methods.

Talking about standards. Which standards?

Fully on the same boat. Hope ETH offloads a good number of them.

Anybody that still allows himself to swallow the cock and bull stories those olofofo players release after every defeat is sitting on a long thing.

We are the only club whose team news is consistently leaked 2-3 hrs before matches on game day. The level of indiscipline in that club can't be corrected by just changing manager. Our hopes really rest on this Murtough guy. If he is more of the same old style then we are in real trouble.

Oasis007:
Sources close to Manchester United’s dressing room label the standard of coaching as “well below” that of Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna. The 4-0 loss to Brighton was no surprise considering the build-up to the match consisted of underwhelming sessions.

- Laurie Whitwell

So they lost 4-0 to Brighton because the training sessions were not good enough?

It had nothing to do with them. LOL

TrebleChamp:
The dude i want so bad at United, he has had injury troubles this season though...

Yeah. He had a worryingly long time out with a hamstring injury and that coincided with Leeds drop down the league table. The difference between Leeds record with him on the pitch and off the pitch is like night and day.

GloryIsaac:
Maybe the standard is finishing second with 74 points lmaoo unserious bunch.

Players that are professional under-the bus-throwers. They never look at themselves critically but always point fingers at someone else. I remember when Maguire cost us 2 goals in a game and was criticizing the attack for not scoring more goals.

I just hope ETH offloads the most virulent out of them before they infect the new players and academy products.

Android22:
I am insinuating that huge investments over multiple years is what is needed to make up for the lacuna created between traditionally smaller clubs and their bigger counterparts. United, by the way, have spent more than City since Ferguson left and United is still a bigger club than City.

If you know this then what was the point of that table you posted if not to insinuate that City's investments were not heavier than that of other clubs?

Android22:
How much will Newcastle need to spend to compete with City and Liverpool?

Who knows. But it seems to me that you are insinuating that they would have to outspend their rivals heavily to catch up which in essence is what City did, and which is a tacit admission on your part that the table you posted is spurious.

City outspent their rivals HEAVILY to get to their position. Newcastle would have to do the same, and i don't have any problem at all with either of them. Arab money is authentic money.

Android22:
The point there is that all big clubs spend money. It is not Coutinho money that brought Konate and Luis Diaz. Some scousers don't know that so someone has to educate them.

But in 5 years less City has spent double Arsenal and spent 300m more than Liverpool and Man Utd. Only Chelsea is on City's level in spending but City did it in 5 less years.

Imagine spending years in Championship and League One and still outspending perennial EPL clubs like United, Liverpool, Arsenal to the tune of between 300m-700m pounds?

E no shock you?

There are other ways to support your argument but that table you put up there no enter.

Android22:
City ruining football since 1992.

The fact that City spent 5 seasons in that period in the lower divisions but are still up there in money spent tells its own story.

I am not of the opinion that City are ruining football but that stat there is very misleading. City has spent 5 less seasons in the EPL and they have spent nearly double what Arsenal has spent and 300m more than moneybags like United and Liverpool.

ChristoBam:
Na the wages vex me pass. Was thinking United fans will be pissed. But guess our thoughts align with dem Glaziers, we just dey disguise ni.

I am not even pushing for FDJ now cos of his wages and transfer fee. I liked him when he was at Ajax but Barca has spoilt him with cash.

Out of the midfielders I have watched closely I don’t mind Kalvin Phillips and Bissouma combo.

ChristoBam:
Haha bro, that one no mean anything. Y’all are saying this now. We didn’t say this then. Among all right backs available he was the most marketable.

How dare you say spidey was not marketable. It’s because of how things turned out o.

Go back and check my posts on him.
I didn’t really watch Palace so I didn’t know about him but some people here were hyping him for sliding tackles and benching TFM. I warned them it will end in tears. The receipts are there.


P.S And I don’t really care about marketability. I care about competence and quality.

ChristoBam:
This thing no difficult na. In comparison with other right backs na. Why does man have to keep repeating himself. Is Daniel James a right back? Una matter really tire me o.

Is it because everything has turned out so badly it now looks so weird calling Bissaka a marketable player. Y’all need to flash back to the first few months when we got him.

AWB was not marketable at all. No skill apart from tackling. Not good going forward. Slide tackling merchant better suited to a bottom half team.

TrebleChamp:
Was Maguire, Wan Bisaka Fred also signed for commercial purpose? I agree Dablord, Ronaldo, Zlatan and maybe Sanchez were bought for commercial purpose. I would still blame Woodward, cos he was the one running the club. Why did fans attack his home, cos they finally realised he was the one mismanaging the football side of the club. The Glaziers had no reason to sack him, cos he was doing fantastically well generating huge revenue for the club. I blame Woodward for ruining the football side of the club...

I don’t understand how you can absolve the Glazers of blame. They are meant to aim for both financial and sporting success.

Woodward might take majority of the blame but the Glazers have their share too. Your employer is failing in one of his most important roles but you keep him on for years until the whole club comes tumbling down. ONLY THEN do you end his tenure.

Funnily enough i have been criticising Woodward and the Glazers since about 2013-2014 here but anytime I criticised either of them nitrogen and other business magnates will be quick to jump to their defence. At that time Woodward was defended for doing a great job and it was wholly the fault of every successive manager.

Now that the shyte has hit the can and there is no hiding place and we need a scape goat we are now hearing it was all Woodward’s fault while the Glazers had nothing to do with it. Maybe if one of them had been smart enough to make the billions instead of just inheriting from daddy they would have been able to identify and curtail Woodward’s limitations.

raumdeuter:
There is an Islam section

The same post you made about Xtianity, just the exact same thing and change Xtian to Islam
Islam havent forced themselves on countries? How do you think many countries in the middle East became majority Moslem?
How did Constantinople become Istanbul?

Arabs that got to France before they were turned back into Spain that they ruled for centuries. The Turks sef later conquered Europe from the East and got to Vienna in the very centre of Europe on at least 2 occasions.

donjazet:
These are the people we're sharing this country with?
How many decades till that region evolves from these archaic barbarities.
These are not just illiterates, these are actually the "educated" ones among them. Now imagine how their agboros will be.

Akanni of Jebba too wan chop breakfast?

Roland17:
Can you imagine?

I wan to get to the level where I will be indifferent about Naija but my mind no dey gree me

I don warn all of una. The country don expire and condemn beyond repair. Nothing can be done. Even a great leader can't save Nigeria at this point.
