Foden has 10 goals and 4 assists this season in all competitions.

A terrible season according to some by the way.


GENERATIONAL.

Todd boehly

Haha. No way.

I'll give you a clue, his shirt number 👕 goes with that A-K gun.

Chelsea fans, remember Poch finished 6th last season. I ask again, if Enzo finishes 6th or lower, will you accept that you were unfair to Poch?

Cole Palmer today:

IYKYK (and they look alike)

Abeg rest!

You no see Khusanov and Marmoush?

Never been City's major issue.

City's midfield is the bane of the team's existence. No legs. Can't press. Can't run. Can't tackle. Can't win duels. Too slow. Can't score. Can't create adequately.

Kovacic, Gundo & Bernardo midfield in this day and age?

Congrats Chelsea!

BlueMann:
I would not even call that a lunging tackle. When I hear that term, what Lewis skelly did doesn't come to mind. That's a simple, tactical foul, a trip to stop a counter. Textbook yellow, never a red.

Yeah, I can completely understand that. Like I said, the problem is, it depends on the ref at the moment to interpret. If it was a yellow, I would not have faulted it as well.

BlueMann:
Excessive how?

Problem is, that depends on what the referee defines as excessive at the moment. And VAR can't interfere.

In the moment, MLS made a lunging tackle and some oversabi refs like Michael Oliver will over-interpret it. Lunging tackles whether successful or unsuccessful are treated as dangerous.

For context, Liverpool fans wanted Kompany red carded for lunging at Salah in 2019 even though he missed the player.

You can 100% get a straight red for a tactical foul.

It just has to be excessive.

100% red card in my books.

Trump should know that Russia is not afraid of economic sanctions.
There was sanctions yet they took Crimea
The same sanctions didn't stop them from defending the breakaway Ukrainian regions.

The victory or bargaining power you didn't achieve on the battle field cannot be achieved through threat of economic sanctions... not against a very powerful and formidable foe like Russia.
Russia is selling their gas in rubbles.

He's been seriously misinformed on the war or how to broker peace because he still has all those CIA shills like Rubio around him. Deep state hacks cosplaying neocons.

Putin has all the leverage and by the time Trump realizes it he'll fire some people to save face. Typical Donald. Once I saw that post, I just laughed.

It wasn’t a clear cut handball, one could argue that it didn’t touch Havertz’s hand at all, and what about the new rule change about hands being in a natural position? I still maintain that different teams get different treatments from PGMOL.

It was as clear as Mrs Underwood. All the multiple other angles confirmed it. The new rule allows natural position as an excuse for defensive rather than attacking situations. Different teams will not get any different treatment in this instance and you've not given any concrete reasons to the contrary.

Shey na only Newcastle dey go 2-0 up? City went 2-0 up and didn't get full points. Which of their strikers should we blame and why didn't Brentford give up based on your theory

Or does your theory only work for Newcastle

According to Airmark, Tonali who also played in their stretch of 9 wins (and in many of those games was by FAR their best player) is inconsequential and only Isak was responsible for their wins. Then switch to Jackson, who was the SOLE reason CFC did not win their last 5 games because he did not score. Every other factor was constant for CFC. Only Jackson is the problem.

And 9 zombies 🧟‍♂️ liked it.

A40:
Production and flow better? Nope not a chance. Who born the producer of this era to compete with Primo, Alchemist, Irv, DJ Quik and Bink. Dre is me going far. Nothing about this era is even comparable. Absolutely nothing

Agree to Disagree.

The man said there's nothing like Big Three it's just Big Me. How is that worthy of a beef? He didn't diss anyone or assassinate their skill or character all he said is he's the standalone best. Is that not what rap is about? A competitive sport. Those are bars you unlook as what you rap in the middle of a dope track

Listen to the track again. Otherwise, it will be apparent everything he said flew over you. His very first line down to the last was a diss at both Cole and later Drake. "FATD" is a Drake reference. "Your best work is a light pack". "First Person Shooter" is a Drake/Cole reference. Why do you think J Cole responded?

All this fiancee talk no consign me. Any woman you don put 1 or 2 for her belle na your wife. Na my own OT be that. No be by court papers.
Again if you say a man beating his wife you should have some proof, all this your alluding talk is you again playing with words, where is the paperwork?

Kendricks lyrics. Not evidence. Same Kendricks lyrics evidence against Drake. Especially Drake's daughter. The level of cope is insane.

Your son might be Dave Free's. Lmao. You're playing hopscotch with words and meanings and na you sabi that one. That is fighting words and any man that attacks you is well within his right to.

But the man who sues is not allowed?

Na who them catch be thief. Kendrick is not at war with any of them so what does this have to do with price of potatoes in China?

Kendrick and Drake were at war you're bringing up Jay Z, Dr Dre, R.Kelly? Drake can diss them then. Nobody hold him mouth

The context in which I brought them up is clear. Were you looking for another one?

BTW what of said Drake that was shouting out Chris Brown on a track he's accusing Dot of being a wife beater. Abeg leave all this story for tortoise. This is rap battle.

This is giving hands of Esau but voice of Jacob type of rap knowledge. CB is really a blood not affiliated or pretending to be one. That's what Drake meant by shouting out people who really bang a set. This is what I mean by constantly needing to correct falsities.

All I'm reading here is her father was her love-vendor. Same way the girls that were messing with Kellz were pimped out by their parents. Does it sound normal to you that her father is defending that kind of thing.

Kdot and his fans think Twitter spastics are real. Your arguments are throwaway material from Twitter. You're telling me to disbelieve her because your entire argument against Drake hinges on it.

Of course anyone can defend anyone when the appropriate palms are greased. That's not saying anything. But if we can tie you to 3 under 17 girls then that at the very minimum is problematic and that's assuming you're not even messing with them physically

You might as well just upload the Twitter images you're lifting these things from. By the way, Drake was 23 at the time. She was 17. He kissed her on her forehead and hand on stage.

Expecting your rap rival to not bring it up in a rap battle especially when you've essentially labeled him a wife beater and a cuck is absurd

Kendrick is allowed to lie as much as he can. That's rap battle according to you. Drake is not allowed to sue a business partner that tried to cheat him though. I hope I've summarized your argument adequately.

Nothing consign me with all this speech and Martin Luther chat. Even as someone who has no qualms with wide age gap in relationships. Past like 25 it's probably a good idea the girl is at least 21 just to be safe.
Loloxin u17 should give cause for pause.

What additional advice do you have for Drake to make him more of a successful rapper? The girl in question will turn 32 this year by the way. A little research will go a long way.

The Bella Harris he was linked with in 2016 was born in year 2000. Only you have 3 questionable interactions with under age babes and you're quoting state law. Wetin consign me with that one? So if them reduce age of consent to 13 or 15 you will justify it as well?

Twitterati. LOL. Does Bella Harris' personal opinion matter? Her denials for example. I understand the cope though. I know you want it to be true.

Odd that you're tying yourself in tortuous knots salayeing law. I asked you how comfortable would you be with any 13-17 year old girl you know personally frolicking with a near 30 year old man on any level you still didn't answer

The law does not matter. The women's testimonies don't matter. That she was 17 and he was 23? Does not matter. We are rounding up 23 to 30 so Drake will be a pedo? That's cope.

Copium una. Shey na me don dey spiral up and down since last May.

Accusing bots, accusing ghosts, accusing streamers, NFL. He will soon accuse Trump if he plays it on Inauguration day.

The winner can't sell tickets. Can't outsell the loser even though the loser released no album and the winner did. The winner is crashing ticket prices, putting them on sale etc. But real people not bots are responsible for all the streams and organic success of the song? That's crystallized cope.

A40:
It's a pretty good track. Dope lyrics but mehn why are their beats so fvckin weak. That's one thing I can't stand about this era of rap. I grew up on them Just Blaze, DJ Quik, Q-Tip, Bink Dog, J Dilla (RIP) , Primo, Alchemist, DJ Toomp, Clark Kent of blessed memory etc. The beats today are complete crap compared to what those giants used to make

Cole is like those boxers at the gym who are immaculate in sparring but put them for ring to fight na another story. Now about what he's talking about. Who is he specifically referring to?

The two biggest rappers are battling. Everyone is tapped in. There's no innocent party here. Stylishly claiming Kendrick is paying bloggers and YouTubers or what? Let him say it with his chest. Names and numbers please. All this subliminal talk gets on my nerves. Cos nobody was saying all this when Drake dropped his Pushups and they were goading Kendrick for a response for almost two weeks

J Cole is not the best at picking beats I agree. I still think production and flow in this era is better. The older rap was better with subject matter.

Bro. When you accuse a man of putting paws on his wife and raising another man pikin unwittingly everything else is fair game. Those are damaging allegations that Drake provided no receipts for so boohoo to him when Dot gave him a taste of his own medicine.

The beef started from 'Like That' not 'Pushups'. Pushups was a response. So Kendrick started it. Drake did not accuse Kendrick of beating his fiancé (they never got married). Kendrick alluded to it by the way. Please don't tell me he was rapping from the perspective of another person. That will just prove you've not listened to it. I've listened to all Kdot's albums apart from GNX. I was a fan as well. Also Drake said "your son MIGHT BE Dave Free's".

Drake on the other hand whether charge or uncharged there's a visible track record of him having dodgy interactions with young girls, you're here now twisting like a gymnast to defend a grown man kissing a 17 year old girl. Does that sound appropriate to you considering he was 26 at the time.

Let's keep it a buck here. Which 13-17 year old female relative of yours would you be cool with interacting with a man in his late 20s. In any capacity. Bare minimum is 18 at least. I would still advise 21 just to be on the safe side.

You're saying this with Jay-Z/Foxxy Brown, R-Kelly/Aaliyah, Dre (the wife beater who also knocked up a lady when she was 15). People Kdot bigs up, performs with and in R-Kelly's case Kdot threatened Spotify with removing his music from their platform if they removed his?

Don't let the law impugn on your opinion though. Colorado's age of consent is 17. Ignored. Her father brought her to the concert as a gift. Ignored. Her father allowed her to go on stage. Ignored. She defended Drake. Ignored. 12 years later, she defended Drake again. Ignored. LOL

See how consent works by the way, if a 15 year old is caught having sex with her 16 year old BF. That's not an issue. It will be one if he was older than 17 though because 15 is below the age of consent in some states. However, if the age of consent is 17, it means 17 is their 18 in Colorado. So don't worry about mine or your subjective opinions.

So why are you surprised that a man who's been openly linked with underage girls is given that name.
Nobody cares about his UMG business. All we know is he was cooked by K-Dot and that's all history will remember. Not some lawsuit.

I know cope when I read it. This is concentrated copium.

A40:
Lmao na from 1996 I don sabi wetin be rap. I've never hear rapper blame their label for their rap beef L before

You're the one who said he lost. You're the one saying he sued his label for rap beef. Drake's lawsuit did not say so. I didn't.

Na wa oh. The man said he can make money from the Drake record as well. You said it's disprovable. Mind you it was Kendrick that requested that the copyright be lifted. Kendrick's gesture was so content creators could make money talking about the beef. People were talking and making videos about the beef regardless. Of course there's higher incentive to do it when I can get paid and my video is monetized. How did that influence a song that's already went viral?

I can disprove this easily including proving it is a lie. Your argument is almost claiming streamers who need engagement for money don't lie and exaggerate to farm those engagements. I'm telling you the LAW not hearsay. See the images attached.

I don't believe either of them. Based on that weak ass Heart Pt6 track.

I have my own subjective unsubstantiated positions too. I'm just not giving them yet.

With your unbiased mind who has conducted themselves more like a hoe over the course of this beef. Wasn't Drake the one who betrayed Wayne shaggin his girl when he went to jail

F**ked on Wayne girl while he was in jail, that's conniving

Then get his face tatted like a b!tch apologizing

I have my own opinions too but that's not what I'm trying to pass across as facts. And I'd be brutally honest here, I think your info source is clearly Kendricks lyrics and Twitter. Drake has rapped about sleeping with a groupie who later became a fiancé for Wayne. Their engagement ended after Drake told Wayne he had slept with her. All 2010-11 material. You see why I've avoided debating Drake vs Kendrick on this forum? It feels one sided. I feel like I'm needing to correct falsities too often.

You Drake fans keep falling back on record sales and tour dates. You would think Kendrick is Speedy Darlington.

Again tour tickets are not about record sales. You said Kendrick won and has a superbowl to perform in. I'm FACTUALLY disproving any such wins that cannot translate into album, tickets etc. My point is, the status quo did not change after the beef. If Kdot's "win" was organic, that should be the natural transition right? Stillmatic went ×2 platinum when Nas was flopping hard before it.

Drake is the master of proxy wars. His subs on the Fighting Irish song and Akademiks dropping info on Bron's alleged wakawaka you think it's not tied to Drake?

Twitter opinion. Fighting Irish is a callout for Lebron. I agree. I put the lyrics for you and asked you to point out what aspect relates to Lebron's personal business. You could not point it out because it does not exist. Now you're bringing Akademiks? I thought the same Akademiks denied the fake DM you cited earlier? I can't believe I'm needing to say this but Akademiks has his own opinions sometimes they are even centered at going at Drake.

Secondly what type of grown man got another nigga tatted on his body? Kendrick was surely right when he said there's some ho in him. I couldn't imagine tattooing a man I didn't sire on my body.
No wonder he is so mad at Bron. And look you know I do not care nothing about that nigga, I'm not a Bron fan and I never will be but there's still a code. Maybe you feel betrayed cos you thought he was your guy but that's on you. Why would you think Bron would be loyal to you?

People tattoo Jesus. Einstein. Anyone they like. Like Pro-choice people, na their body their choice. If I need to explain Drake and Lebron's brotherhood to you, then you should not be giving your opinion on their relationship. FYI, Lebron has been sending emissaries to Drake including posting IG pics to show he knows he is at fault. And that leaked track was obviously done during the Olympics. It only leaked after Lebron's 40th birthday.

Nobody is defending corporations most fans don't even know what a UMG is

Thats the irony. Imagine if Vini finds out RM were paying journos to vote against him so they won't fulfil a Ballon D'or clause in his contract. Then he sues RM, and fans turnaround and call him a sore loser because Rodri won Ballon D'or. That's a perfect analogy. You're defending RM and telling Vinicius to suck it up even though he is saying it has NOTHING to do with Rodri.

I don tire.

Unlimited22:
The biggest issue has not been addressed. Make Una go find backup DM.

I agree but na from pre-intimacy before matter go change to full blown knacks. I now believe my manager has gone back to being ruthless. That's the Pep I trust.

A40:
Lol. Cole is a wuss. He backed out from beef after dropping a mid diss track. I fux with him but if he's too scared to go in make e zip am. Nobody cares what he has to say on this matter

Now back to Karen Drake. Not Like Us popularity had nothing to do with any bots or laughable conspiracy theories. It had all the ingredients of a beef classic. A thumping beat, salacious accusations that stuck because of Drake's suspect past. I mean do I believe he's an actual pedo probably not but when you're on record smooching 16-17 year Olds and texting 13 year Olds accusations like that are par for the course in these days and times

When did Billboard become the final arbiter for Hip hop? Everyone knows who lost the beef. Even Drake knows he lost and that's why he's been spiraling attacking DeRozan, attacking Bron, attacking streamers. Everyone but the man who smoked him

Come on man

Again, easily disprovable from top to bottom. You should actually listen to that J Cole Track. I want to know your personal opinion about it.

As for Drake, for now, we'll agree to disagree. Just remember Jay-Z is in court. As is Diddy. And they have had to be in court on multiple occasions for the same thing. Not only has no one charged Drake, the so-called victims (a 17-year old whose father was in attendance and brought her to the concert as a gift was in attendance when he kissed her. Bear in mind, this was 12 years ago and Colorado's age of consent is 17) Or if it is Milli Bobby Brown, LOL? Both of them came out back then and now to FULLY defend him. Remember Macaulay Culkins and MJ?

Let me make a prediction here and everyone can have it on record. From what I've read, he has a 98% chance of winning his case so 1 of 2 things could happen. UMG will settle him out of court or will lose woefully and he will win the biggest pay out in music history.

By the way, remember when we were told City were not making signings because of 115 cases?

Me neither.

150 G/A for Manchester City at age 24.

drisham:
I am not absolving anyone

I'm blaming the team in general

Exactly. You cannot argue that your defense did its job in a game they drew 2-2 but then blame the striker for not converting all his chances. If you concede 2 goals, you did not do your job, well or at all. Period.

Isak missed chances when Newcastle drew 3-3 with Liverpool. Should Newcastle fans blame him for not winning the game?

Unlimited22:
I have always maintained that it's a function of both

That's why you see me advocate for upgrades in both attack and defence.

We can't see out games by scoring, and we can't see out games by riding out the storm.

Of course we will drop points.


I'm not delusional enough to believe that signing a striker alone is enough.

Airmark's issue is usually centered around parochialism. He only sees things from one perspective.

In Pep we trust.

drisham:
I'm with you

But see Bournemouth, Ipswich, crystal palace

The defense tried in those matches, we wasted too many chances upfront with Jackson the main culprit

I assume none of those teams wasted chances against Chelsea too?

A40:
Nas never outsold Jay a day in his life and we still agree he lost the beef.

If we combine sales of Pusha T full discography it can't top Drake's one album. That does not rescue him from this L.

This is rap please not Taylor Swift pop music. I don't judge a dope MC by their record sales.

Lol wetin consign J.Cole for this matter. He refused to throw down so why do I care about what he has to say on this matter.

Drake lost the beef neat. Using UMG talk to cover it is Karen behavior. Let him get into another beef first. That's the first thing they will use to yab him.

J Cole implied that Not Like Us was botted to "sway the whole thing". Tory Lanez etc. I can mention other artists who implied same. It has been proven multiple times which is why UMG told Drake to sue Kendrick not them. LOL.

I understand where your head is at concerning the beef and I'm not trying to change that. But Drake beefing UMG since at least 2015 cannot be a cover up for a supposed "lost" beef. When the artist that supposedly lost, is the one Billboard and co said was hip hop artist of the year. It was even Kendrick they said was Pop artist of the year because he had a popular song. Ironic innit?

A40:
OK he's using his rap beef L to demand more money from his label

Still Karen behavior. All I'm reading is sore loser

Because he was perfectly fine with these streamers reacting to his song in their beef. Even lifting the copyright. Whose fault if he didn't have the smarts to do it first like Kendrick did

https://x.com/YourRAGEz/status/1787326981568127321?s=19

His Jewish side really showed with this beef and this is from someone who's mostly sympathetic and respects their resourcefulness

He should never stick his neck out as a battle rapper again. When he lost to Pusha that's how he also claimed they begged him not to drop a savage response

Now he's gone full Karen. I'm sure he would draft a cease and desist for Kendrick not to perform Not Like Us at the Superbowl

Abeg you can't keep defending that man.
This is someone that tried to put Bron's business out on the street. And you know where I stand on LeBron but even I cannot respect that

Nah again bro. Nah. Rather his label tried to use a rap beef to cheat their artist. I've never seen people defend corporations like this, my lord. Are you genuinely happy at May D's claims about P-Square?

And that copyright story in your post is easily disprovable. The right belongs to the distributor. That's why I specifically mentioned Kendrick is the only person UMG ever did it for. Drake and Kendrick use UMG and Drake is by far their most successful artist.

He never claimed his label begged him not to release against Pusha. He said J Prince told him not to after listening to it. J Prince is on record saying it himself.

Drake already said Cease & Desist is for hoes. That's actually why "Taylor made freestyle" was pulled. It was actually Kendrick who got the Shakur family to push for a C& D. In fact, Kendrick will have to edit Not Like Us to be able to perform it at the Superbowl - and he needs it. His tours are not selling out. So they need the Superbowl to remember he exists. Drake is adding tour dates in Australia because he is selling them out too quickly.

What part of Lebron's business was outed by Drake? Please tell me this is not about that AI-created DM? If you're referring to "Fighting Irish", then please read the image below and tell me how that line refers to Bron's business?

I think you're gleaning your info from the general gist on social media. There are a lot of spastics online, man. The statement "God forbid we tarnish your Image" is sarcasm. He is saying Lebron pandered to the public to protect his own image. In other words, Lebron is a fair-weather friend. Something you used to accuse him of until now.

Again, I've never seen people defend corporations this hard. Its mind boggling.

A40:
Mind you Drake was begging Dot to reply. After Ethering him now una dey call am Kbot.

Them cook your guy with fish grease una dey attribute am to bots

Na bots and PR make Not Like Us blow? Yeah right

You can't claim to ether someone who literally sold 8M more units than any other rapper in a year he did not release an album. That's serious cope.

Have you listened to J Cole's 'Port Antonio'? They used bots for "Not Like Us". It would have been big on its own but that was never the point to UMG.

A40:
Why is anybody being taken to court? Why not chest your L and keep it moving.

This Karen is suing everyone, record labels, YouTube streamers.

He will be the butt of jokes for the rest of his rap career just know

Nah bro, he is not. That's why I asked who was sued and if you read the docs. I did. The only organization being sued is Universal Musical Group. His lawyers only mentioned those streamers and YouTube to prove their point. In fact, in the whole document, Kendricks name is only brought up when "Not Like Us" is referred to as Kendrick Lamar's song.

Drake has battled multiple people including Pusha T. Why did he not sue? It is because the lawsuit has nothing to do with rap battles.

The surprise album If You're Reading This It's Too Late (IYRTITL) was the first real sign of having issues with his distribution label. That's what the album name even suggests. He dropped that album without their approval to prove he would sell without anyone distributing shxt for him. WATTBA had that 30 for 30 track saying the same things. That he'd been hearing about conspiracies where the musical higher-ups had come together to end his run and pass him a message. All pre-2016 music: 8 years before 2024.

Even in his "Red Button" track on FATD was him talking about exposing his label for trying to undercut him for money. His freestyle with Cench, he was saying the same things. All before the Kdot beef.

Again, the lawsuit has nothing to do with Kdot. Not Like Us just gave him more than enough proof to win his case in court.

1. UMG allowed streamers get paid for reviewing and promoting Not Like Us by not slapping copyright claims on them - they have NEVER done so for any other artist prior.
2. They allowed a real picture of his house to be used as the thumbnail. That house has now been breached on multiple occasions after that song.
3. They allowed bots to inflate the streaming numbers of the song denigrating their top artist. Then fired people who voiced concerns about this.

I could go on and on. Never mind that this is happening during contract renegotiations where Drake is asking for $1bln and UMG are saying $400M. His lawsuit is to prove that his label used underhand tactics to limit his influence so they could lowball him.

This will be similar to Jimmy Butler suing Miami Heats claiming they sent someone to hit him with a car so they won't give him the long extension he is looking for.

A40:
Drake is a Karen. He should be banned from all rap beef moving forward.

All my life I've never heard anybody take people to court over a rap beef. The biggest L ever

J.Cole is more honorable for retractin his beef track, that's far better than Drake's Karen behavior

Who are the people that were taken to court and what part of the court document said the lawsuit was about a rap beef?

I've read the court documents by the way.
