Na true I tell u, ppl from ur state and even ur home town are staying in those areas namely agility in mile12, ajegunle along ikorodu where dey know d whole area is river bank and once Oyan dam is discharged d water will extend to d whole area but yet they have refused to leave those areas in years

U ppl out of ignorance r always quick to blame d govt for everything out of hypocrisy, will d state govt be giving accommodation to all those leaving there state and coming into lagos, d indigenous ppl of that area are fishermen and dredgers, dey will never leave even if d govt chase them.....abi u want d govt to build fence to block river from flowing

Rightly said. Moreover, if you check Lagos State map, those riverbanks were not stated as residential just riverbanks. People there mixed of Yoruba, ignore and minute other tribes.

However, most people living in those areas from Mile 12 to Majidun along the Ikorodu road are very poor. Like you said: fishermen, manual dredgers and artisans., Moving away from there can only happen through forced ejection.

Araujo: "We are Barça. We will try to win everything"

Fati: "We are Barcelona. We're going for LaLiga and for the Champions League. We're going to fight for very trophy"

Koeman: "You have to be realistic...It is difficult to keep up with the big teams.”

Ha haaa? @jp. Why? why? why?
I thought you are his most devoted fan or should I say disciple here.

How can you of all people here be trowing shades at Koeman. Wetin he do you?

Kilishihunter:
You no lie, Infact every koeman in my life must die by fire/thunder

I say Amen.

Kilishihunter:
Wetin you wan even write sef, By the time you type 2 and a half sentences your head fit just knock, Offline When my arsenal and man you friends dey see me this days them just dey happy for no reason, If I talk say I get bad coach, them go faya me back say shey them no get bad coaches too? The Dortmund and totenham fan wey I been dey fire steady for one thread like dat on Twitter don dey find me since last week, Pedri and de Jong (the one wey get sense) are out against levante, If you see Umtiti for that midfield, No dey too surprised

Surprise for wetin? We've already seen Pique playing as our top striker. What's more surprising than that? Oh! Na when you see Ter stegen as striker you go know say craze dey?

jpmoriarti:
I am not making excuses for anyone. Granada bench yesterday was better than ours. Barcelona is used to having players at top level of the game not kids everywhere. I even dare say Club Brugge has better team than we do right now. Luuk de Jong will not even be good enough to play for Club Brugge right now.

Y'all want to make yourself believe that Koeman is the only problem we have right now. Of course, Koeman did not endear himself to the fans when he consistently left out the fans favourite, Puig. So I think the he made his bed already on that.

But our problem transcends any coach right. We need top players at each position otherwise performance of yesterday will be plenty this season, regardless of the coach.

@Jp, I see your point clearly, but as you already know that everything done by the team will be put at the table of its coach, same as in the military, winning the battle depends mostly on the commander's strategy.

Furthermore, we all now the team is average and weak, the coach is also weak, where do you think Barça board should start the turnaround from exactly? Or should everybody just shrug these shambolic outings and hope for the best?

Remember we don't have money to buy good players, talk less of best ones, the coach was expected to bring out the best in the average players he has. But in this case, even the supposed good ones are also deteriorating as we go on.

Comrade calm down

They are still suffering from the effect of Ronalgoat’s goal

And Man. U just lost the match. Your Ronalgoat has just infected them with losing virus like your pal's moniker.

jpmoriarti:
Thanks for agreeing with me on that. I didnt like the news when I read it.

As for him, I heard he gave away his Range Rover Velar when he was leaving Man City. If he can do that, he can also build his own gym in his home and train as much as he would like. Instead of coming to badmouth us at the media.

Another angle to it, right now at Barca, we no get shishi . So probably, the club is saving for electricity bills. Lights on only when players are on ground training. Minimise energy waste

Hahaaa? @jp, na so e bad reach?

�| Pjanic: “I would have preferred to be told things directly, but that’s the way it is. It has been a very strange way of communicating, it is the first time. I don’t know what happened.”

�| Pjanic: “Regret signing with Barça? No, never. In life things that have to happen, happen, I have fought all my life and my career, I am very ambitious, very competitive.”

�| Pjanic: “I have reached the level of Juventus and Barça. I know that I can play for this team, they just haven’t given me the chance to compete, to join a group, to help more.”

�| Pjanic: “I have never talked about these things, but I think it is important to know what I have really gone through. I accept everything and it is okay...I will fight until the end for myself because I know what I can give.”

�| Pjanic: “I’m a player who is willing to sacrifice and I always accept the coach’s decision because that’s how I was taught. I agreed to lower my salary and join Besiktas because I love playing.”

�| Pjanic: “Right now, today, I don’t know what he(Koeman) wanted exactly. He didn’t try to explain things to me. I would go to ask him what he wanted from me, positionally or what I was doing well or badly. I wanted to adapt as quickly as possible to the team and be useful.”

You started the season by playing in the UCL, but not in LaLiga Santander. You had no continuity. why?

�| Pjanic: “Everyone asks me that, they want to know. But so do I, I want to know. He never told me or asked if I wanted to play as a two or in front of the defence.”

�| Pjanic: “In a season at the end you need 17-18 players to win titles. Koeman didn’t give me answers. Time had passed, the situation was getting worse, but for no reason.”

�| Pjanic: “I’m not the only man who has suffered from this condition. If you look closely you will see that there are more players. I do not want to speak on their behalf, but they can do it.”

Is it that these players don't have representatives who communicate their complaints and grievances to the board in case of ill-treatment from other players or coach?

Most of us criticize these players, not knowing what they go through. How will a coach just throw a player on the pitch without specific instructions or expectations, just go in and play whatever you play, if it's doesn't suit me, I remove you. No correction, no explanation, nothing.

Before game no tactical instructions, during the game no twicking changes, and after the game, everybody just go home. Finite.

jpmoriarti:
Nobody fit hack my account, guy.

I like Puig but not too much. However, I am coming from an angle of getting the best out of everyone we have now. Messi is long gone. So Koeman will be shooting himself in the foot if he continues to leave out a certain people under the guise that he cannot have space for everyone.

Our squad is bereft of legends and hero right now. Anyone can rise up to seize that title for himself. It can even be Puig. So he has to have chances to play to prove himself. I am hoping Koeman understands this, so people judging him will only concentrate on his on-field decisions and tactics. His man-management must be topnotch right now, so he can get the best out of the players we have.

Well said. Saw your point.

As at now 11:13pm Nigerian time, I checked in to see my mentions before I go to sleep, found out I have none, scrolled down and found only 2 people viewing this thread, I and a troll.

Does this guy do any other thing or at least visit any other threads apart from camping here day and night?

jpmoriarti:
Koeman will have to know that ostracising any player will not work in his favour anymore assuming they once did. In a team yearning for a new hero, everyone should have equal opportunity to prove what they can bring to the table.

His unfair treatment of Puig must end.

What Who hacked @jp's account? I'm finding it's hard to believe you typed this. Surprised you are being objective about Koeman's ill-treatment of Piug.

Or was this just another scheme of sarcasm?

CR7 for 2021 Baloney dor jare! E no easy to score international goal jor.

Any CR7fan wey no support am for 2021 baloney 'dor is a fake one.

Kilishihunter:
If the Umtiti doesn't want to move nko? What can be done except terminating his contract which would still cost the club, Tbh this Emerson's deal is hard to accept just like you but then again what can be done when the finances are in the red, Just watch pedri, Fati or de Jong put up good performances and watch the hawks especially that fūcking PSG try to take advantage of the situation

Abeg, which one costs us more? Is it paying for termination of contract or paying the deadwood's salaries for sitting on his bum for the duration of his contract?

Note that his contract ends June 2023, earning €208,000 weekly, meaning €10+m a year.

jpmoriarti:
Antoine Griezmann in La Liga this season:

- 3 matches
- 0 goals
- 0 assists
- 0 shots on target
- 0 big chances created
- 2 succesful dribbles

Shambolic!

But, but, I thought someone said, Messi was the one blocking him from shinning before. Who's to blame now? Depay or Braithwaite?

Kilishihunter:
Bro you also forgot to add that their current manager is better than any manager we've had since Luis Enrique, Lampard had this squad minus lukaku and was largely clueless with it, Not trying to make a case for the flops but maybe just maybe if Hushbartomeu had used his church mind and the scouts did their job well we've have probably being more dangerous, As much as we rant, he has done the damage already and moved so it's left for the current chair or whoever to clean up

Cleaning up a mess is actually harder than creating one.

IKON360:
Meanwhile, Juventus TV will be streaming all of Cristiano Ronaldo's freekick goals with Juventus tonight.

It will start at 12.00 EST and end at 12.01 EST

Guy! This is not good na. Why u wicked like this?

Virus99:
Edaakun who's this guy

Virus99:
Awon eyan Nigerian League
GLO CAF Award

Better, I like this response without insult, you don't know who I may be to u outside this faceless forum, I may be your brother, your in-law or friend. Troll but don't insult. Shalom my bro.

Virus99:
Dumbo that's what separates Madrisdstas from Cules...unlike you guys who reason with your anus, we reason with facts and stats as sufficiently provided by the Football authorities.

Did I quote u? I didn't, because I know you don't post without insult. Not every poster insults. And moreover, to u and your coefficient England may be the best league in the world, but for me, it's La liga. That's why I am a fan of a La liga club. EPL is only graded higher because of its publicity and overhyping. La Liga is quality bro.

Kilishihunter:
We all know the source they came from na, But my guy You bad

I've actually been waiting for one of them to make that mistake in the name of trolling, I'm sure if Perez hear what he said, his fanship will be revoked immediately (if possible).

pu7pl3:
uhm, I'm sorry boss but La Liga is still the best league in the world

Sorry o, I know he is your fanmate, but is it because of CR7 that he quickly underrated the league he claimed to support? Beware of that guy o, he will soon tell you he is now a Man U. fan

jpmoriarti:
Transfer window is closing soon. Yet Barca and Laporta are yet to sort out any of issues that continue to linger.

Umtiti is still there.
No one want to sign Pjanic
Illiax Moriba issues remains unsorted
No striker signed

Only Messi were they quick to dispense with. I know we needed fresh start but the way everyone quickly admitted that Barca are incapable of keeping Messi is so surprising whereas it now looks like Pjanic and Umtiti will stay on, even though Koeman has no place for them in the team.

I dont even know what's happening in that Barca's board room.

I'm with you on this one o. Na like this e go dey be? Every other big club is strengthening their team, but nothing is happening at our end. So even if Messi didn't go, don't we need to buff up the team? I am not understanding again o

jpmoriarti:
And who says the rest of you contributes objectively? Who be the judge of that?

Opinions are personal, could be right or wrong but "majority carries the vote" is not just a saying, it is a fact.

jpmoriarti:
I have never watched Collado play before. So I cannot say what he can do and what he can't. Koeman looked at him and Demir, and he chose the later. I always like to think he must have made his decision based on what he think is best. He has seen the two, up close and personal. We only get to watch them online.

Besides, I don't know why everyone is making a big deal out of the ATH match. Our matches with these rivals are notoriously cagey and always close especially in San Mames. I don't know what Puig could have done differently. Koeman has absolutely no faith in him. He has told him this for a fact. Dribbling through the lines is good but there is no given that it would have earned us 3 pts yesterday.

As a matter of fact, if Koeman is currently no longer coaching Barca, who do you think is a good fit for the job? It is not enough to say, sack him, sack him. He is incompetent. You have to be able to proffer a solution, for if when he is indeed sacked.

Me I will go for Luis Enrique. He should quit that his boring national team job and come back to the bustling live of being a club coach of the best club in the world.

Sometimes you contribute objectively like the rest of us (most times after being over-battered), and sometimes you contribute like an alien from Mars.

Your point on Enrique is quite on point.

jpmoriarti:
We wont die. We're going to get better. We weren't better off even with Messi haven't won the league in the last two seasons. [b]Under Messi's watch, we have suffered back to back to back European embarrassment. [/b]I think we have seen it all already. Only way for us now is up.

Under Messi 's watch? Or you meant under Coaches watch.

The little respect we were getting as a team then was because of Messi. Remove his goals and see the outputs of our other strikers. That we "suffered back to back to back European embarrassment" as you put it, is not because he didn't play his part well, it's was because a tree cannot make a forest, he didn't get as much help as needed.

jpmoriarti:
Yes. Barca will unilaterally terminate his contract and meet him in court. Court will drag it for years. And Barcelona will not face FIFA sanctions. I hope the club does that.

Why does he not want to leave? He will never be in the match day squad for Barcelona again talk less of playing a minute. Yet he still stays. Nawao.

He stays for free money.

Read somewhere today that Umtiti has been given a week to find a new club and leave or his contract will be terminated. How true is this?

I don't understand this guy's yarns o. Is Nigeria an annex of USA? Can't we take care of our own problems without putting our burdens on other countries?

Nigeria should take care of its own problems. USA also has its own problems.

And here we go. 1-0 pique scores our first goal this new season and post Messi.

homesteady:
I love the intensity so far.

Same here,. I love that everyone is playing to their strengths. We've definitely started well.

jpmoriarti:
Lmaooo Bartomeu had brilliant ideas but led Barca to financial ruins and managed to distance all club legends from the club. No former club legends wanted to have anything to do with Bartomeu and his doomed management team. Only Eric Abidal came close. And he left with his tails between his leg That alone told me Bartomeu is leading Barcelona to a devastating end. We can all see it now

Bart should just shut his mouth and hide his useless face somewhere. Imagine blaming somebody else that just came in for his failures. Was Suarez not sold to Atletico last season because of the huge wage bill? The mismanagement of funds has been there all these years. Imagine buying bums with exorbitant and outrageous amounts and salaries, spending more than you earn. Rubbish

IKON360:
poor planning.
And his biggest wrong for me isn't even the overbloated wage bill, the biggest wrong is that he paid social media accounts to blackmail and insult people he should have protected their intrest and shielded them from the outside criticism.

And who's to blame for all that? Bros, you have just known the truth, and the truth has set you free.
