Good to know...
Swissh come and carry ur fav. Roland17 abeg assist him. Thank you

What! Funkeeeee!

TrebleChamp:
The argument then was the Sancho was the list, as it seem like he was the only player the club wanted. Transfer window opened and nothing was happening. Not until fans threaten to burn down Woodward's home, that we horridly sign VDB (who is clearly looking like he wasn't Ole's choice). We had to wait until deadline to sign Cavani, Pellistri and Diallo. na here we read say Opamecano was in Ole's list, na here we also read say Opamecano was not a target this season as he wasn't in Ole's list as reported by Fabrizio Romano. And we ask if their were 2 versions of the list. The point is it was a healthy mature argument devoid of insult...

Fans threatened to burn Woodward's house and we started signing players, and you think Amaka was the problem?

Even nearly 6 months later you guys' point of view still sounds incredible.

TrebleChamp:
We have argue or bant here quite a lot without anyone throwing insult, i remember the heated no transfer list argument. Shoutout to Lana1, elrony, Leyqute, afrodoc2 and the other goons who argued Ole had a transfer list, and to Eph12, Expert17, nitrogen, my humble self and the other goons who argued Ole didn't have a list (we were right). That argument lasted several pages, yet without any insult. We know the mature peeps here....

How were you right that he had no list?

You no fit just slip that in like envelope na.

What a shekpite. He say pooling boot award.

adebayo201:
Ndidi or Gueye... I'm not for this over price English player.

Gueye is African, now (claiming) 31, and has been playing in Europe for more than 10yrs.
He is about to finish surprisingly like juice in a carton.

I like Ndidi but if we can’t get him there are other options. The scouts should do their job.
Rice is a Chelshit academy boy so he is probably headed back there anyway.

obainojazz:
Our lecturers are heartless mehn

I remember a Naija lecturer who in his first year abroad failed most of his students and when the school authorities questioned him he used the old Naija lecturer explanation that the students were unserious.

The authorities told him that it was impossible for most of the students to suddenly become unserious and only in his own course. He was forced to review the marks or risk losing his job.

Naija lecturers have been quietly destroying destinies since 1960.

Leyqute:
Afrodoc Capitalcee lana1 kingalabi patrickmuf others.

Do you think Declan Rice will be a suitable replacement for Matic?

I am still not convinced about his mobility and his ability to pass in between the lines. I need to watch him more this season.

There is a difference between playing in low blocks with hardworking players around him at West Ham AND playing in a high line with Bruno and possibly Pogba bombing forward leaving him isolated.

An important quality we need in the prospective CDM is mobility which will allow him to cover large areas of the field alone while 2 more adventurous midfielders are on the pitch.

Another crucial quality is broad passing range which will enable him to be fulcrum from which our play can be initiated.

We shouldn’t repeat a Maguire situation where we buy a good player for the wrong system.

nitrogen:
Lol, if you think ‘fvcker’ is a bad name, then you are more immature!

How many times have people addressed our players and manager as fuvkers in here!

Better calm down!

You are calling people fuckers and you think it is a good name.

If your child calls you a fucker or someone calls your parents fuckers will you be happy about it.

I am not saying you should not insult people o, but just own it when you do. No dey disguise.

CapitalCee:
4-2-2-2.

DDG, AWB, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw, - Matic, Fred- Pogba, Bruno- Martial, Rashford.

Matic to sit permanently at the base to orchestrate play. Fred in CM to mark, he will have to really work hard, Pogba and Bruno to occasionally drop deep to help him out. While Rashford and Martial have a run at their defence. Bruno and Pogba too., but we have to be very clinical.

That’s not a bad lineup. The only question is which 2 out of McTom, Fred, Matic will start.

I suspect Amaka will go with that 4-2-2 mainly because of Pogba’s form.
He will want to play both Pogba and Bruno but will field 2 CDMs behind them as insurance.

I am suspecting it will be McFred even though i appreciate Matic’s superiority on the ball.

Whatever line up he uses he must ensue that the tactic matches the lineup.

For example you can’t play Maguire, Matic, Pogba, Lindelof together and be pressing high up the pitch.

BARAJ92:
I understand the complaint of Mcfred limitation in terms of attacking play but this team score more goals with Fred and Mctominay in the team. The simple pass they give contributes a lot to most of our goals.

Not holding brief for Matic/Pogba but we score more goals with McFred primarily because we use them against teams that come out to attack us thereby leaving space behind. Correlation does not imply causation.

Pogba/Matic on the other hand are used against teams that sit back and park the bus across their box limiting space and making life difficult for our attackers.

If you use McFred consistently against teams that sit back you will understand how limited their passing is compared to Matic/Pogba.

This game will be won and lost on the flanks anyway. It is all about Mane, Salah, TAA, Robertson vs AWB, Shaw, Rashford, and Mr X (our other wide forward).

You guys can't even enjoy top position in peace. I bow for una o!

CapitalCee:
3-5-2. Formation will be a sucide for us like the game vs Leipzig. Liverpool is overated, they have very big issues in thier defence, so they sacrificed Henderson and Fabinho to cover up. We need Fred and co to disrupt their play and limit supplies to and fro Robertson and TAA. Pogba and Matic can take care of thier midfielders, Thiago, wijnaldum and Ox are not that fast. We dont need to allow Robertson to thrive, once we block him, our defence will submerge thier attackers especially Mane who will have to contend with AWB and Bailly.

What is your formation and complete line up?

Oasis007:
Sceptical with him in the Lineup, but Ole won't trust Williams to start ahead of him.

Then it is a simple sturvs. Don't play 3-5-2.

AWB in a 4 man defense is okay but he struggles with positioning and awareness as a wing back in a 3-5-2 and this is exposed anything he faces a good attacking left back/wing-back.

If Amaka tries that 3-5-2 nonsense against a killer like Robertson we will be wrecked good and proper.

Oasis007:
Unpopular Opinion: I think Ole should go with 3 - 5 - 2 Formation against Liverpool. I'll prefer Bailly, Maguire and Tuanzebe as the back 3, dealing with Trio of Mane, Firmino and Salah.

Wingbacks of AWB and Shaw handling Robertson and TAA. Matic, Pogba and Bruno in Midfield Battle with Henderson, Wij and Thiago. While Martial and Rashford using their pace, skills to dismantle Liverpool CBs Combo.

You are on a long thing. Almost every time we use 3-5-2 AWB destroys it with his tactical ineptitude.

Do you remember Solly March of Brighton? Do you remember Angelino of Leipzig?
This time it will be Robertson o. A word is enough for the wise.

TrebleChamp:
Greetings...

And nobody had to off pant in our club.

This life no balance.

Skimpledawgg:
Swissh no dey carry me play.

When you are ready to pay your debt and you are online, notify me with this moniker. Dropped my details days ago and nothing.

No annoy me o

Hahahaha

The number you are calling is Swisshed off.

So the guy bobo you twice.

kennywagz:
Hello nairalanders, I know how you felt looking at my post before opening this, but pls know one thing am not a bad person or a foolish son, I just happen to have a *** mom..

The thing is me and my mum almost got into a fight yesterday. Now pls let me explain something to you... I understand how yall love your mother's and would do anything for her, I wish I could say the same for mine.

Anytime my parents get into a quarell my mother won't want to talk or do anything again. She goes to work and comes back late, lies down and sleeps.

It's over 5 months, she doesn't contribute anything, doesn't say anything, does not concern whether the children eat or not because of their quarrel..

I don't fight anyone but if I have a quarrel with my friends or bro, 2 days or the next sef we are talking. He will stay in the room by herself after work while we'll be in the palour eating, She will be in the room sulking.

I once came home and my junior ones told me they were talking about something and laughing and mom came out and said sheybi they are all laughing and very soon they will start crying. Like what kind of mother says that.

If you are looking for woman that curse and swear no one pass my mom.
She has fought every of our neighbors, every last one of them. I can't count how many swear and cursed she has said to my father and even to we the children. My father's brothers and sisters, she has been keeping malice with themsince a month after her wedding. That's over 20 years ago. Something happend and she hates them. If you are seen with your aunt or uncle you'd be in serious trouble.

She has this toxic nature/character always wishing evil for others. If she doesn't like you and she sees you happy it's sadness for her... How can someone be like this.

Today one woman she has quarrelled with had a fight with her brother. My mother was happy, saying e don catch am, laughing and praising God. My father is sick and doesn't even have the strength. They don't talk, she stopped talking to me cause she says me and my dad are always planning what we will eat, that am now the wife abi.

I can't express how hateful I am towards this woman, my heart is full of bitterness towards her.. I can't possibly type everything that I personally go through because it would seem as if I came here just to spite my mother. No matter what, she is still my mother, I am just looking for advice.

I give the children money sometimes when they are angry and I cook the food cause she doesn't do anything. She's sees me as her enemy when you don't want to do it, we should come and be begging you. Everytime we get into a fight for very petty things I always go and beg her, you must beg else you and her are enemies she won't talk to you.. I greet her and she says next time I greet her she will swear for me. This negativity is too much, I am a very Sane person, I won't come and write all this if I ain't pained... I have a father I love and my siblings, but it's this woman now.

Pls what can I do, everyday everytime person go dey beg you for the most unreasonable and petty things, after swear and curses with bad words Don follow steadily.

She probably has a personality disorder. It is unfortunate.

Leequte:
But he is going to be impeached again.

The house plans to introduce articles of impeachment in 24 hours and this time, the senate seems to be on board.

Lol. The guy bit off more than he can chew. I wonder if Ted Cruz and other bottom feeders will stick with him.

Well that is good news. I didn’t think they had the time to do it.

Americans should actually be ashamed of themselves for voting such an obnoxious and obvious anti-democrat as President.

A40:
But you didn't have issues with him dragging professional athletes, politicians, journalists and Doctors in the mud for most of his administration. Lol una go soon talk as e dey do una

Many people are actually ignorant about what democracy and about how fascism develops.

Trump is not your regular POTUS. He is a lame duck President who is fascist in all but name and used his office and social media to instigate insurrection against the government.

The only reason he is not going to be impeached again is that he is going soon anyway.

Mr Eazi sef don join Stingy Men Association of Nigeria.

The werey dey disguise.

Amoto94:
When the political establishment of the left were hounding Trump for electoral fraud and twisting his statements for political gains with half-truths and blatant lies the tech giants who were mostly left leaning see no harm in that but when Trump does the same thing or less he's flagged for it and eventually removed

What the left did in the post-election period is not the same thing as what Trump did, and I don’t think it is comparable.

Trump essentially instigated a populist coup. He invited his followers to the capital with the objective of subverting the democratic process and halting the handover of government extrajudicially.

He had also previously set the tone for the whole situation by being divisive and using social media as a propaganda tool to spread hate and misinformation.

What he did has more similarity to what the Nazis did in the period before Kristallnacht. There is a difference between merely having different political views or holding a different political position AND actively encouraging a mob to interfere with a democratic handover of power.

Now whether Twitter and Facebook should have such censorial power is a different debate. But let’s not minimise Trump’s actions by comparing it to anything the left or indeed the right did after the elections.

Amoto94:
Egbon you like quarrel pas fight

Haba. Why you come misconstrue my intentions like this?

Nihilistjnr just reminded me of that Reptilian theory. The theory funny die.

nihilistjnr:
Ah abi you never hear that rumour ni?

Lol you know say me dey always keep updated na.

E pass rumor o. Na theory.
Conspiracy theory.

Reptilians.

nihilistjnr:
I woke up this morning to see BTC at 24k, and I entered last week at 25.

Before I entered, I don already zero say my money don go, but this was the first time my nuts have been tested...and it's an uncomfortable feeling.

I was at work when my phone was repeatedly pinging as the thing kept sliding down. I nearly dropped some money inside yesterday but my eleda was not sleeping.

I have zeroed my mind from investing in crypto. I neither understand it enough nor have the time to be keeping tabs on it like Silas Marner, and those are 2 things needed to survive in that world.

Expert17:


The way headers are so difficult to save, 2 GKs standing on the goal line won't save that Mctominay's goal.

We are advised to always stop the cross, to avoid stories that touch.

I don’t even get that kind theory. You nip things in the bud.

It’s football 101. You block crosses from coming in, you block shots from reaching goal, you punch out crosses. You don’t allow a player a free header 6 yards from goal just because you don’t want to injure your defender.

Keepers are taught to clear out everything including the ball and they use their knee for protection. The reason De Gea is often seen rolling on the floor after any aerial tussle is that he doesn’t implement this properly.

Bailly was unlucky that’s all. That is why it is not good to come from a village. If you don’t have a village you can’t have village people.
A good number of his injuries have just been bad luck and not really his fault, like when his captain gave him concussion.

So Henderson should have allowed a free header from 6 yards out so that he can prove that he can dive?

There should be relegation and promotion on this thread.

Leequte:
Henderson was very reckless the whole of yesterday. Too reckless sometimes.

The guy body too dey hot. He has an element of Fabian Barthez in him. Probably because he is so anxious to impress. I just hope it is ironed out of his game.

A40:
Hmmmmm. This will be very interesting to see. Everything points to it's value being artificial but the price keeps going up. It's crazy

If Tesla was run by a dull paper pusher type person instead of a charismatic genius/guru like Elon Musk its valuation would be high but definitely not this high. No one said it should not have high value but if you look at the fundamentals of the company itself it is obvious that people are being emotive to a fault rather than being analytical.

They are banking partially on Tesla the company but more on Elon Musk the man, and that is a very risky tactic.

patrickmuf:
Lol It's their field of specialization...That others aren't involved doesn't mean they're of no good in their own areas of specialization...Na so small thing dey excite some of una no wonder any politician with small packaging dey easily hoodwink una...

Maka why na?

McTominay wore a cloak of rubbish to the field today it seems.

User09:
While I agree it's significantly overvalued at current levels, I really dont agree with a bust; maybe a convergence to a lower price level in the future

You are probably right that it might not crash but I suspect that when it falls to a lower price level the drop-off would be huge.

They have lots of ideas over there but they simply are not making enough stuff or developing enough new technology to support their valuation.

One day people will stop throwing in money and start asking difficult questions.

Apple and Facebook that you mentioned are a bit different in that regard. There was a bit more substance to them.

But then again i am no stock market guru.
