"We decided to speak to Callum in front of the whole group not alone. For us it was not a big thing. I know it can be sometimes. Still I did it and we had the only reaction we wanted he went back to a good mood and trained well. This is the lesson for us to learn."
Werner: "The fact things didn’t go well for me had nothing to do with the manager [Lampard]. I got off to a flying start. He’s a huge personality, I have a lot of respect for him & I’m grateful to him for bringing me to Chelsea. Under him I got to know the English way of playing"
afrodoc2: Claude Makelele. I respect that guy too much. The way he played as a CDM between 2000 and around 2006 should be taught at post-grad level.
The defensive solidity achieved by the sides he played in speaks volume of his brilliance, when he left those teams experienced steep decline because the defensive cover he provides was no longer there.
Thiago Silva: "I made a bad mistake in my first game at Chelsea, something you normally don't expect from me. After that day, I started analysing our opponents' forwards, how they press and how I can be faster than them."
Wenger on Saints' goal: "It is an art of bad defending from Chelsea. Zouma is turned completely and the space between him and Azpilicueta, look where James is. He should be in there and Azpilicueta much more in. There is no communication, but what the striker does is exceptional" Source: Blue_Footy
100trillion: If you type that I insult u again eh, then u will see what insult really is.....I would've said you're devoid of good reasoning faculty but I won't, lemme behave like you don't exist.
So telling someone he's acting like a tout isn't spewing gibberish right? I'm not responsible for your gambling induced misery that makes you think every random person is devoid of good reasoning
100trillion: Crime and Politics section is around the corner, stop behaving like a tout and do the right thing!
Those sections are too chaotic and toxic for my liking and if you don't know the Genesis of an issue stop jumping on a comment spewing gibberish. You could still pass your message without being insulting.
Greatihex, Ibime, Roland 17 this happened in Oba, a man lost six children to an attack by suspected IPOB members. Greatihex I hope you're happy with this development right?
Greatihex: So, your so called "self-respecting" country is not expected to unleash their military on the world's 4th deadliest terror group? You don't think that it is an abomination that they treat such group as friends and brother will unleash all they have on any one who rises to oppose the terror group?
I have so much to say, but the way the whole issue of the hell hole is all full in my head, I don't know where to start for you.
You believe an Igbo president will also fight IPOB, but you are not surprised that a Fulani government is asking you to embrace, give land and welcome a Fulani terror group that they claim are foreigners?
You better stand with truth now and stop playing ostrich.
My suspicion is that your stand and position is from a very selfish one, and you may not do anything different from what these evil politicians are doing currently if you were to be one of them just because you don't want to be ethnocentric.
I don't know if you would still be having this stance if you are to be from one of the numerous villages that have been sacked and renamed by the fulani invaders while your self-respecting country turned a blind eye.

I will leave it here. Time and information will tell. I will see where you stand will be 1 or 2 years from now. I know that some ibarapa people must have been just like you 3 to 4 years ago when the python dance was happening; the invasions and subsequent renaming of places in plateau, benue and taraba; the treatment of the mambilla group, but today they are seeing things differently.
E go reach everybody o.
I can assure you that there have been several military and other security agencies strikes against bandits who are terrorising people. You can't criminalise a group of people for the crime of a few amongst them that's you calling for genocide and ethnic cleansing which isn't palatable. As for naming places by people living in a place it's nothing new as there's Chinatown in some countries does it mean that Chinese want to take over such places? The Italians, Dutchs, Portuguese, Spaniards, Germans who live in Latin American countries often name certain quarters after their home countries so stop saying things that are not true that serves as a tool of ethnic cleansing.
Abeg make we avoid any discussion capable of setting this thread on fire. Let the Hazard and Fraudiola debate or any other debate continue I no get energy

Mirror | Kepa: 3 months ago things were difficult. It's been a complicated for a number of reasons. But I have never thought about leaving Chelsea. I didn't have problems with Lampard. I didn't give the best version of myself or play as I wanted. But we never had any issue.
Ibime: @ nitrogen, Amoto94, when do you think current stock market bubble will pop. I'm becoming more and more convinced we are not far, especially US equities.
Mirror | Christensen: “All the manager says is be comfortable. If you don’t need to play the ball, you don’t have to. Wait for someone to come & take the ball, don’t take last second decisions, know what you’re going to do and do it. He's basically told us to believe in ourselves
