One sentence, four errors!

Abeg, @Grammar..., wetin make u wicked like dis? You just killed the guy's trolling career in one sweep. Chai !

haymekus:
How the hell do you hire someone this bad to coach barce

I'm not sure Bartomeu hired him while going through his stats. He must have hired him because he was the only available coach at that time that Barca could afford.

what is it with this Lenglet. Can the guy go 3 games without causing us a fatal error display, if not bad tackle in the box, its a handball. His only exception is an own goal. Very average.

haymekus:
We lose again.
Bayern, Liverpool, PSG, Dortmund, Manchester City or Chelsea await us.

With this shitty defence; any one of them can beat us silly.
I just 8 - 2 see another 8 - 2. What a disappointment.

And thus Juve tops the group.

This is very laudable and commendable if it gets to the targeted beneficiaries listed above but we need more.

I would rather want the govt. to build the country up by giving out loans with as low as 1% yearly interest to youths with entrepreneurial business ideas than giving out grants that would finish within a month.

Let me explain a little.

Let's work with N200billion for example.

Govt. could create a loan agency or contract a private sector microfinance bank, commissioned to give out loans of not more than 500k to every youths with a promising business idea, with yearly repayment with 1% interest rate.

Let's not forget that there must be collateral and surety involved o to keep people on their toes.

By that we have 200,000,000,000 / 500k. = 400,000 youth beneficiaries.

Divide 400,000 youths into 36 states and you have 11,000+ beneficiaries per state, who will in turn employ more than 3 others as workers and helpers to build the business.

I believe our economy and country will develop more human capital faster than just giving out feeding money to people, which will be forgotten in less than a month.

My opinion though.

Em... Em. Abeg we get game today Abi? who know lineup?

OJay360:
Dem fit nack each other wife by mistake

Mistake for where? Dem fit do am intentionally self. U no read say dem four na identical - identical?

tesppidd:


Why you dey pray bad prayer na?
Be careful what you wish for!

By the time we have Busquets, Coutinho, Fati, Dembele, Alba injured, who go remain?

And we all desire an opportunity for Messi to have a good rest, don't we?

At this point of rebuilding the less injuries we have the better.

Abeg, with all these injuries; what other excuses would be tenable for Clownman not to use Puig, Alena and Braithwaithe in upcoming games?

If we put aside rivalry, Ramos is a good CB any day, his absence is always felt massively if he he doesn't play. and whenever he plays his team builds on his confidence.

For me, I think he would have probably made ballon d'or podium if CR7 and Messi never existed coupled with his rough edge defending. ( my opinion though ).

Baddestguyp:
Madrid oh

No wonder all our poke nosy trolls from the bernabeu have all disappeared. What a relief !

joviegghead:
Criticism is normal. Foolish or constructive. Part of game.
We move. Juventus next. My hope aren't up tho. Hope CR7 plays tho. If he doesn't and we still can't beat Juve, then we're truly finished.

I like the optimistic approach you guys are having towards barca. However, it wouldn't end well if we set our eyes on unattainable targets and expectations this season based on what we have on ground.

Barca's case was just like the #Endsars Nigerian issue, the message of bringing drastic change has been lost while still in transit. We were all calling for a change to how things were done, Messi led that call for change but instead of getting the message, he was termed ,"Traitor", "Betrayer" and as such the distraction took hold.

Of all those changes we all spotted and clamoured for then, how many has been effected? The new coach has done nothing differently from our last two coaches in my opinion.

In a nutshell, my point is that we shouldn't be expecting miracles from this present setup, they will try their best but even that might not be enough to give us the UCL, La liga or Copa del rey, but I know they will gel as the season goes on, my prayer is that we don't get pushed out of the top four at the end of the season because teams like Getafe, Atletico etc are not smiling ooo.

Xanslyte:
E don do abeg.

Now this is hilarious

Karleb:
This is not a Messi Ronaldo thing.

Take for example, in the post when it got to chances created. Good works of players like Ozil and Payet was rubbished to glorify Messi's.

According to the stat they had more numbers but the post still ridiculed them. Who said Payet and Ozil don't score?

If Messi is scoring, they will say but he's not a striker.
If he's dribbling, they'll say but he isn't a winger.
If he's making assist, they'll say but he isn't a midfielder.

Funny thing is, Messi himself doesn't care.

That long epistle is nothing but stat padding and butt licking.

Well, looking at this response tells me you are more concerned about the writer's intent than the write-up itself. If that's the way you see it. You have a right to your opinion.

Anyway, just like you said: "Messi himself doesn't care."

Goodbye.

Karleb:
You are claiming a thread on another man's property.

The post praised Messi for having more League goals than Ronaldo, a player who is more goal focused according to the post (438 - 311) but it wasn't stated anywhere that Messi has been playing in La liga before Ronaldo and Ronaldo left Laliga in 2018 and this is just one, there are others.

By the way, you're ill-mannered.

Thanks bros for the response, though I would have let Tespidd counter the point you raised, however let me reiterate that the write-up was on Messi's stats, and not on comparison between CR7 and Messi.

Furthermore, if you look further down the piece, you'll find out that he (Tespidd) brought Messi"s stats against others in Europe, where CR7's before (Man u.), La liga (Madrid) and after (Juve) were considered.

I hope you are satisfied with this.

Karleb:
What Stat padding is this?

Bros, google is your friend and its free to search it. Kindly pick each of the stats you claimed are padded, search on it on google for the years listed by Tespidd, and post your findings with verifiable sources in order to dispute his figures.

Thank you.

But if you can't do that simple thing, shut up and get out of our thread.

Vykinx:
❗Dembélé, who was initially reluctant, has now accepted Man United as his destination but he'll only leave if the transfer is permanent. The player and Barça agree that he will not move through a loan deal. [@MigRico]

Please, what is the reason for selling Dembele at this point?

Excallibur:
Raumdeuter, Wetin una feed Coutinho for Germany..una go like loan Griezmann na

Abeg, make Grizzy go loan for Bayern o, let him go and learn same way Coutinho did.

jpmoriarti:
Lolz Where did you see me supporting Barthomeu? I am not his fan but he is the president of the club, duly elected by the fans and socios etc.

Messi is still my football idol but the recent lack of professionalism from him, will not go unpunished by me.

Sorry, are you Tu face Idibia?

joviegghead:
Wow!
People don't respect Vidal sha!

Sorry, but u didn't clarify

joviegghead:
Fati as signed a new contract that keeps him with Barça till 2024.

Guess what Barça did? They slapped a 400 million release clause tag on the boy. Let me see who wants to take him when he starts shining.

His new shirt no is 22. Do you remember whose no. that was?

Eric Abidal & Dani Alves

Barca 1 - 0 Elche. Frizzy

haymekus:
What a performance by greizmann

Like shooting penalty out of the stadium? While his youngest Broda dribbled and score from the tightest angle.

Adiwana:
The thing is that Bartomeu is very useless. Thiago is on the market for a relatively cheap price. He wont need to adapt to our style of play and will give us everything. A Thiago/De Jong double pivot will be very nice. Why are we not going for him??

Bros, you need to know something about Bartomeu, he doesn't like bringing back any player that has left Barca to play elsewhere. Case study - Neymar, Tiago Alcantara etc.

modextus:
Messi is a GOAT on the pitch but a coward outside it. I don't care what anyone else say but that's the truth. Board members and Messi share almost the same blame for what's happening at the club. I expected more from Messi too. After the humiliation against Bayern.. a club captain and a player of his calibre should have said something but no.. Messi decided it was time to leave for FREE!

That word FREE, na hin pain u pass Abi?

Olamyyde:
Messi might be the greatest of all time but he is a TERRIBLE CAPTAIN .



Can you imagine losing 8-2 in ucl game and not apologizing to the fans. He has not made any comment till now and see how he's behaving like coutinho or neymar or dembele.



I expected more from him I swear.

Apolowetin? Bros, that Bayern loss was not a fluke game o, no be mistake, most of us has been expecting the team to crumble at any moment even before Bayern.

Who apology help? The guy is tired.of everything about Barca, the stupid board, the inept coach and shambolic bum teammates that cannot do anything tangible without passing to him.

He has often apologized, stressing that they will improve but instead they become more clueless as day goes by? The 8-2 humiliation was not even his fault, will he play as a winger, defender and striker at the same time?

Abegiii, put the blame on the right people jor

Moreover, Messi wants to sit with the club on his departure , they are the ones dodging him.

BykeLaByke:
He really didn't show up for the PCR test...lmaooooooooooo...

Would you? if you are in his shoes. He knows its a trap.

Sommyroy10:
If in the contract, it does actually says June 10 (not season end) , then the pandemic excuse won't hold in court.

Well if Messi insist on moving, after trying to convince him, we should part way as quickly as possible. No time. I hate stress
Happy Sunday.

If Messi had left the club in June, what difference would it make, we would still have lost the la liga, we would still have been booted out of the UCL (maybe Napoli), so same same.

Why would a sensible board allow a clause that releases its best player to walk out for free at the end of every season in his contract in the first place. Means he could have even walked out on us all this while. Dumbest board ever.

Messi leaving is very difficult to swallow for me as a fan of the club but I see the sense in his decision. However, the way the board is handling this issue is very very shameful and insulting all round.

This guy was and still is a legend of the club, the best player to ever lace his boots for Barca. the Greatest of all Time, who had given the club everything he had.

He doesn't deserve this type of treatment walahi!!! Instead of sitting with him like a normal person and sort the issues out, Bartomeu is playing hide and seek games; setting traps here and there, hiding behind a finger. A stupid ingrate.

We should celebrate his departure and not ridicule it.

joviegghead:
Just to correct you, barca has no leader on the pitch.
Messi isn't a leader(that guy annoys me even tho I love him) , neither is Pique nor any other player.
Messi is just dull as a captain. That's another reason the team plays without anyone to bring them to their senses.

I'm forced to agree with you. I think he is too quiet or too introverted to lead the team vocally, he only depends on leading by example, but most times that is not enough.
