No more excuses

That's just it

MorataFC:
I just wish Messi snubs barca contract extension

Only retirement can seperate him from Barcelona

Kilishihunter:
Well it would have been nice seeing him on a bigger stage weekly than the ligue 1, It's only in the Champions league most'll be viewing him na, But on the plus side, I think this deal has made him the highest paid goalkeeper in the world (oyel money) if I'm not mistaken and with PSG stacking up he might soon get a UCL sooner than most, But those PSG sef , they offered Messi a contract while on Copa duty and still want to sign varane

All of the big EPL teams already have reliable shots toppers and it is impossible for him to be second fiddle.

We will follow him bumper to bumper on weekly basis through available avenues.

PSG this coming season should be able to surpass their previous feats

Guys, please how do I enable call recordings?

I use Redmi Note 9.

Thanks

Kilishihunter:
I wish a big English club signed him or he remained in AC Milan but raiola must do like raiola do

An English team?

That will be a plus to an opposing team against Chelsea. It is a no.

However, PSG is doing nice business in this summer transfer.

Donarunma signed a five year deal with PSG

We are back!!!

Good to see us back.

A preseason with Tuchel, I anticipate the effects.

2012 and 2021 has somethings in common; both year, Chelsea entered final and both year has digit 2 appearing twice.

A rearrangement of the year's digits read 0122, 0122.

We'll triumph at nce again

timbros:
This guy!

What a performance!

He kept us in the game with his world class saves.

For ms, the MOTM

Shut up there, my friend

Any child of mine borne of a woman, na me put am inside. I have never had to do a paternity test before....unlike YOU

Imagine being so insecure that you're carrying out paternity test on your first child. That means you know that while you were busy constituting a nuisance on Nairaland, fighting all over the place, swinging like tarzan from ballsack to ballsack in the US politics section , an enterprising young nigga was giving your babe the silent Django, from all angles

It's not by taking naked selfies wearing a bow tie after rubbing palmoil all over your body, with your long nipples looking like the nails the romans used to nail Jesus to the cross. I bet the guy that shot up your girlfriends club was fat and unfit...maybe it was even kasali the neighbourhood panelbeater..maybe it was a combination of Kasali and friends sef - Jimoh the carpenter, Wasiu the rewire, and of course Tope that bet9ja kiosk attendant

What I find hilarious, is that your babe considered you the mugu to raise the kid. Bro she just validated everything everybody here has ever said about you - you are a cuckold, an okobo, a eunuch, a nuisance, a pucci, a stan, and your big toe is longer than your deek

They brought another man's child for you to raise bro, and it was only the miracle of modern technology that saved you. IT COULD NEVER BE ME

Emaprince:
Think of the goals Giroud scored. If it was werner in that situation, will it lead to or be a goal? Remind me who scored our only goal against athletics again.

This your agenda to promote Kai and Werner above other attacking players is weak bro.

Other attacking players? I only mentioned two strikers.

This duo have been playing for over a season and not convincing nor reliable. Like I said, we will soon know if it is an agenda or what needs to be told.

Ibeme:
They should be calming down and register more goals to back such talk. I'm sure Tammy alone or Giroud alone have more non-penalty goals than all 3 combined if we exclude Barnsley game, and Tammy and Giroud are not even Chelsea quality.

Time will tell if they will since you agree they are Chelsea quality unlike the duo of Giroud and Tammy

GrifindorHouse:
You don't know how to record calls or the call recorder function isn't working?

I can't find find the call recorder anywhere

I got Xioami Redmi Note 9 two weeks ago, and I am having issue detecting how to record calls.

"Timo, Kai and I, we have an understanding" - Ziyech

Think of the first goal, what will happened to that counter if any of Giroud or Abraham was involved?

Will it lead to a goal?

Thiago Silva, Jorginho and Mason Mount celebrating the 2nd goal.

Scoring 3 unreplied goals against Athletico is not a child's play.

Emaprince:
which position is that?
Be specific

Don't drag me into your Mount and Havertz debate

macjireh:
Chelsea were d better side...ATM just had few moments of pressing... Chelsea have been impressive

No debate about Chelsea outsmarting them. Their pressing, particularly in the first period send shivers down my spine.

I then wonder why Simeone did not put up an offensive outing like this in the first leg and see what his array of stars are capable of doing.

With such qualities at his arsenal, limiting them is gullibility.

Havertz is seemingly cementing a place for himself in the first XI

Ibime:
I'm not seeing any overloads so I don't know where your tension is coming from

Actually, it is due to what they have forced us to be doing at the back.

At this rate, I just hope we don't lose the ball at the back.

User09:
The goal was so cool.

Been a while I saw Chelsea make good use of a counter

That is because the two players involved were timely with the release of the ball. Mount might have done otherwise, delay the ball and depend on his individual ability.

The pressing from athletico is hypertensive I swear

Thecassanova:
I don’t agree.

Kante has track record playing in midfield two, with players like Pogba, Matic, even Drinkwater. Winning major trophies in all events.

Has Kovacic had any record that atleast we can compare with in the past to know if he’s not the problem? Under previous coach like Sarri or Lampard was Jorginho Kovacic partnership really that perfect?

Can you do a comparison of the style of play Kante excelled in with the said players and the style he is playing in at the moment.

In that match, he was good at ball recoveries but flop in every other aspects of ball usages. His inadequacy in usage of the ball will be his undoing with Tuchel and why he affected Kovacic and our midfield play.

Kante is a runner and not a ball user

hensben:
You’ll saw what I’m saying about Kante Kovacic pairing in that midfield, it even made Kovacic perform averagely.

I wouldn't agree less.

His worst performance since Tuchel's arrival

TRIBUTE TO ALHAJI CHIEF LATEEF KAYODE JAKANDE (LKJ)

It will be a disservice to selfless service if Alhaji Kayode Jakande cannot be recognised as the most selfless being for exemplary true governance and unrivaled contributions to the infrastructural drive of Lagos.
The pacesetter governor who initiated and put in place a whole lots of infrastructures and institutions Lagos is enjoying today.

His government centered on the poor, how to better their lots and provide for them a development only the privileged can get. He ensured that the philosophy wasn’t a paperwork and word of mouth, he worked the talk by bringing it into fruition.

It is on record that LKJ’s ideology is pro-poor.

During the period of 1979 – 1983 in Lagos State, the ideology which was solely in vogue was, the “Greatest Good of the Greatest Number” of the people. That creed provided the guiding principle for all activities of the government; its plans, projects and programmes. The adoption of that ideology was considered then the best option for the state.

Accordingly, priority was accorded at all times in favour of the masses especially the less privileged and the poor, dominating what is now described in development studies worldwide as the Bottom of the Pyramid. It is a concept essentially used for twin purposes: promoting a welfare state and enlargement of the middle class. This orientation in favour of the poor does not necessarily exclude the rich or privileged members of the society entirely from the scheme of things.

Under LKJ, certain projects or programmes were designed for the rich and the privileged for example, projects like Private Estate Developer’s Schemes, Low Density Residential Estates, Site & Services Schemes; High-Rise Office Buildings and Luxury Apartments were designed for the privileged. Jakande clarified that his administration was
"Completely committed to the welfare of the people with particular emphasis on the upliftment of the masses who, for so many years, have been down trodden."

Therefore, every budget stressed the application of financial resources to the areas of greatest need for the greatest number of the people. The presumption or preference of the LKJ’s regime was deliberately anchored on first meeting the needs of the needy.

Hence, substantial parts of the resources of the state were allocated to well-defined “pro-poor” projects, most especially in the areas of housing, education, health, agriculture, employment generation, rural development, etc. for instance, after education, the next in importance, in LKJ’s allocation, was housing. He favoured the provision of affordable houses/shelters to the low and medium income groups of citizens.

Below are the highlights and landmarks of LKJ:

1. He built the current Lagos State Secretariat which houses all the ministries as well as the popular round house hitherto occupied by all subsequent governors of the state.
2. His Government built the Lagos State House of Assembly complex.
3. His Government built Lagos State Television
4. His Government built Radio Lagos
5. His Government established General Hospital in xones all over the state with assurance of free health care.
6. His Government established Teacher Training College and the College of Education.
7. His Government built low cost houses in Ijaiye, Dolphin, Oke0Afa, Ije, Abesan, Iponri, Ipaja, Abule Nla, Amuwo—Odofin,Anikantamo, Surulere, Iba, Ikorodu, Badagry, Isheri/Olowu, Orisigun etc.
8. His Government established the Water Management Board and Waste Disposal Board on the 18th of August, 1980.
9. His Government constructed modernized and expanded the Iju Water Works which was first commissioned in 1915. This increased daily capacity from 159 million to 204 million liters per day.
10. His government purchased and commissioned the giant car crusher equipment. The equipment was designed specially to crush derelict vehicles in Lagos State. It had the capacity to crush 45 vehicles per day.
11. His government constructed, rehabilitated and resurfaced Epe/Ijebu-Ode Road, Oba Akran Avenue, Toyin Street, Town Planning Way, Alimosho-Idimu-Egbe Road, Idimu-Iba-LASU Road, the new secretariat road and several others.
12. His government constructed Victoria Isand/Epe Road and thereby creating an ‘oil rig’ for Lagos State.
13. His government established Asphalt Plant for the Department of Public Works.
14. His government established Electricity Board for Rural Electrification with provision of street lights.
15. His government modernized, expanded and commissioned Onikan Stadium in 1982.
16. His government established a singular school system and ensured genuine free education in Lagos State and the beneficiaries of this policy are in different positions of eminence in the country and around the world.
17. His government raised the primary schools in Lagos State to 812 with 533, 001 pupils (against 605 primary schools with 434, 545 pupils he met in 1979) and secondar schools to 223 with 167, 629 students (against 105 schools with 107, 835 students in 1979).
18. His government constructed 11, 729 classrooms with the maximum of 40 children per class between March and August 1980, by 1983, he had constructed over 22, 000 classrooms.
19. In July 1983, two commercial passenger boats christened “Baba Kekere and Itafaji” to run Mile 2 – Marina (CMS) route via the lagoons were inaugurated by his government to mark the official launch of the Lagos State ferry services.
20. His government took over the ownership and financing of Lagos State Printing Corporation in July 1980.
21. His government established the first State Traffic Management Authority (Road Marshals).
22. His government established small scale industries Credit Scheme which preceded the EKO bank.
23. His government established LASACO Insurance.
24. His government expanded existing markets and built new ones.
25. His government established Traditional Medicine Board.

It is noteworthy that the extensive military probes of the 80s exonerated Governor Jakande from all charges of corruption, mismanagement of public fund and/or any abuse of office. He was duly awarded the emblem of an incorruptible administrator.

Alhaji Jakande was born on July 23, 1929 at Epetedo on Lagos Island. He attended King’s College Lagos, Methodist Boys High School (MBHS) Lagos and Ilesha Grammar School. Jakande opted for a career in journalism, as a result of his natural flair for writing. A flair which manifested in him from his college days.

He eventually rose to the peak of his chosen profession at national and international levels. In fact, he practiced journalism for over thirty years before going into public offices in 1979 and 1993.

An excerpt from the book 'THE KILLER I', written by AT Olorunjedalo

hensben:
KDB na boss. I laugh when man u fans try to compare him with Bruno. lol, Bruno is good though but not in Kdb level. The tenacity and mentality Kdb provide reminds me of peak messi.

I often wonder didn't Chelsea observe all these attributes before letting him go?

Ibime:
They are not in their prime. They are in their worst run and have conceded in the last 12 games without fail. You are just capping careless.

That's why I asked you to compare what Lampard did against them last season than compare against Lampard at his bottom. The only way from the bottom is up. You think say you wise **Asari voice**

Yes, you can say they are not in their prime since it wasn't Lampard that was in charge.

Arsenal wasn't in their prime, but they whitewashed us.

Tuchel saved us from shame on Wednesday. It would have been another story if it were to be Lampard.

Fervent prayer for every soul is that whatever you touch turns gold. But for Lampard's touch on his team to turn gold, his opponents always becomes the golden performer and prime team.

Amoto94:
"At Chelsea it is about results. The DNA is to win trophies and I am here to challenge for every trophy. This year is the Champions League and the FA Cup. The league is not realistic so we lose focus if we aim for that. People should be excited to watch our team."

- Tuchel

I appreciate him for his honesty and I am as well amazed at his knowledge of individual abilities of his player like what he said of Kante, Mount and Gilmour.

I wish this personal understanding and his football ken aid him on the job.

The era of Lampard is behind us, let us rally round TT, critic objectively and chastise him whenever he goes wrong.
