JMOI: The 167th La Liga 'Clasico' between Barcelona and Real Madrid at the Nou Camp on Saturday could be the ideal stage for Gareth Bale and Neymar to show they are worth a combined price tag of almost £135 million.

Or, as is more likely, one of the most intense rivalries in football and a match watched by hundreds of millions around the world will again showcase the peerless talents of Barca's Argentine World Player of the Year Lionel Messi and Real's Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, fans in Britain will have to be content with 75 minutes of fun and frolics - archaic scheduling laws mean that no live football can be shown on UK TV between 2:45pm and 5:15 pm, as it clashes with the standard 3pm fixture list; as such, viewers on Sky Sports will see their coverage begin 15 minutes after kick-off.

Leaders Barca dropped their first points of the campaign with a 0-0 draw at Osasuna last weekend and victory for Real, as well as providing a huge confidence boost, would put them level with their bitter rivals on 25 points from 10 games.

Wales winger Bale replaced Ronaldo as the most expensive player in history when he joined Real from Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £86m in the close season, while Barca paid some £49m to lure Brazil forward Neymar from Santos.

Bale's first weeks in the Spanish capital have been disrupted by injury but coach Carlo Ancelotti hinted that the 24-year-old could feature from the start against Barca after coming on as a second-half substitute in Wednesday's 2-1 Champions League victory at home to Juventus.

Neymar, 21, has shown glimpses of the brilliance that has served his country so well in recent years - he scored the goal against Atletico Madrid that secured the Spanish Super Cup at the end of August - without really catching fire.

Saturday's match will also give Barca coach Gerardo Martino and Ancelotti their first taste of Spain's 'Clasico'. Argentine Martino and Italian Ancelotti, both hugely experienced and unlikely to be fazed by the occasion, are still tinkering with squads they inherited from Tito Vilanova and Jose Mourinho in the close season.

Ancelotti's task has been complicated by the arrivals of a host of new faces along with Bale, including Spain playmaker Isco and midfielder Asier Illarramendi, and Real have been less than convincing in several La Liga outings this term.

Although they won their opening nine matches, one short of the La Liga record held by Real, Barca have struggled to break down defence-minded teams despite Martino's attempts to introduce a more direct style of attack. Whatever happens on Saturday will not necessarily be decisive for the La Liga title race but could have a profound psychological effect on the players.

Neymar, for one, is taking it all in his stride. "I think the nerves are the same in all the games you play," he told Barca TV. "I know that it's about a very important 'Clasico' but I think the feeling of having butterflies in your stomach is the same as before a normal match."

Real hold the upper hand in league games against Barca, with 70 victories to 64 since they first locked horns in 1929. Under Mourinho last term, they drew 2-2 at the Nou Camp and won 2-1 at the Bernabeu but surrendered their Spanish title to Barca largely because of a stuttering start to the campaign.

Am in love with left footed fullbacks who r skillful n stylish dats y i love mercelo. He looks beautiful on d ball

anti failure.:
please more advice, i posted concerning this issue before but now the same girl is on my neck insisting i must marry her, let me just summarize the issue... i was in a serious relationship with her but when i traveled to another state for 6 months industrial training, the girl became wayward, she was jumping from one man to another, she became the kind of girl any man would always call to have intimate with anytime they feel like, i was receiving calls from friends concerning her waywardness but anytime i call her to accuse her about what i am hearing, she always pleaded not guilty, finally after my I.T, i went back to school to discover all the accusations were true, immediately i discontinue the relationship as my parents and siblings were no longer comfortable with me to be dating her. but after 3 years now, she still insist i must come back to her and we must get married, but actually , i still love her, please what should i do.

Op! The only tin u should do is to repeat this story again

Karlwayne: Hz any1 noticed hw almost every romance guide is on hw 2 treat a lady,mk her happy,etc....makin it luk lyk it z guys dat shuld always be on loving n giving end of a relationship while ladies are on d receiving end? Dz hz made sm ladies think dat d very fact of being female makes dm deserve d best,even though they dnt actually deserve it....i wuld appreciate ur comments on this

U r right bro.

Danhumprey: That moment when you have been admiring a gal for sometime,but for some reasons you didn't had the courage to approach her and express your feelings toward her. But gradually,you start building up courage to approach her,to express your feeling to her. And after telling her,expressing your heart toward her(which obviously took you alot of time,sacrifice),only for her to drop the bombshell within the split of a second.

Real men don't cry,but though I'm bleeding inwardly,I have learnt not to do anything silly. I just move on.

Just wondering why gals could be heartless like this.

Trust me! I know how to win my gals without asking dem out and i have my pride intact.

HARDDON: sorry to ask, just how old are you?

and what is the aim in dribbling if you wouldnt score?

In football, U can actually dribble 4 fun just to test how good ur skills are without actually scoring. Thats exactly what the sick OP is doing with his relationships

TrickofTech: So I am from the US. I am white, male. I have just spent some months in Nigeria and I found Nigeria amazing! I really enjoyed it. Seeing the different cultures and the different way of life. I was great.

I was staying with a Nigerian family (Yoruba) and again...it was really cool. Thing is, the family had a daughter about 30 (a couple of years older than me). She is not really good looking, but ok, Born Again, and we seemed to get on really well. She was really friendly...and I slowly got the impression that she liked me (romantically). She would use any excuse to talk to me and was always coming to my room to chat. I really liked her too, straight away...but I never really did anything about it. Basically we just did this back and forth flirting type thing everyday...and that's how it stayed. I was very aware that her parents lived in the same house and I did not want to be disrespectful. On top of that...there is the whole cultural gap...I know quite a bit about Yoruba culture, but I am not sure how Nigerians approach courting and flirting and all that stuff.

Her family would often 'joke' (although I am not sure!) about us getting married...which was quite awkward. At times she seemed very interested in asking me "when will you marry?" and "would you marry a Nigerian?". Other times she said outright that it was not appropriate for her to marry a white person. When I left she said she would really really miss me...and has called me a lot since. She keeps asking to return to Nigeria.

I left Nigeria without telling her that I liked her a lot.
_________________________________________________________________

Thing is, I am not an mugu. I am aware of the film 'oyinbo hunters'! I know there are many Nigerian women after green cards and money! Also, I am not even sure if she really liked me romantically. Are women in Nigeria flirtatious generally? I could have just been mistaking her over-friendliness for romantic interest, although there were times which I was sure she fancied me. I am well aware that some Nigerians are intrigued by white people...and it could have just been that.

We were pretty close by the end of my time in Nigeria. I REALLY regret not telling her that I liked her...I just want her to know how beautiful (inside and out) I thought she was, even if she isn't interested.

I am glad at least we are friends for the moment. I would really like to see her again one day, although all I can think is that I will probably never see her again. I just wish I could have spent more time with her...talked to her some more.

The OP is from Mbaise. Ogaghi ahogbuli anyi

Pistolx: tnk u jesus i finaly made it,1st to comment

Thats my little boy! I told you i will buy a gift 4u if u came first. Now tell me, What colour of bicycle do u want son?

Flaubert Ajiero: Wow... they say "real men don't cry" but how true is that?

Well not like the "Ah HUH, ah HUH, ah HUH! UHHH"! type of crying any way...or like doing even that in a mall full of people.

Why should a guy cry after been dumped by his miss?

Is she GOLD that he has to cry?

Is she the most beautiful woman on the planet huh? etc...

These are questions clueless people, friends and possibly family pals would be asking a guy when dumped. I call them clue-less because they're
completely ignorant of the moments, emotions, and love you probably have shared with your miss.

Real men cry after been dumped, but the difference is "they do it for the right reasons"

They cry because they've conscience. Because they still acknowledges the dozens of good moments shared while in the relationship. Because they're not too proud to accept the fact that it hurts to have their baby-girl say goodbye. They do it because they care about their outgoing miss. Because when you truly really...really love someone, you misses them when they say goodbye, and if it means crying SO....?

Personally I don't see anything wrong when you do things for the right reasons. And it's cool to have people ask too many questions in such
situation but the truth is, until you acknowledge that it hurts to let go of someone you truly love, you will have hard time getting over it.

It doesn't make you weak, it only makes you appear real.

But you don't have to be a baby about it.

So ... how many guys still cry after been dumped?

Lie about it... please.

TAT PRESS: Na real wa!

The issue is being well discussed.

But its a clear point. How many guys that makes mouth is ready to go for the Anesishacogo test?

Do guys even know what Anesishacogo is all about?

How does it works?

The issue is that guys try to play smart on babes and it could easily tell if a girl plays around at least there will be some deterioration naturally but guys, they feel like the champion.

Guys can u allow the Anesishacogo test so that u can give account and details of ur activity.

Can this Anesishacogo really work

BIG QUESTION!!!!!!!!!

What d hell is anesishacogo?

Danhumprey: Same with me. I can't remember seeing him playing. I can recall two players being substituted,Victor Moses and Nnamdi Oduamadi. They were replaced by Brown Ideye and Nosa Igiebor. So,when did Nsofor played?

Nsofor actually changed his name to Nosa Igiebor. Wait! U mean u've not heard ?

loucrux: Not true. At then end of the day his totalizer will determine how much he would have to deposit to his manager. His opening meter n closing meter will make him see more dan u imagine








quote author=Billyonaire]Just pay with your ATM Card, that way, they wont get 1 naira of your money, their loot will go to the management.

Mayb u dnt understand. Assuming an attendant dispenses N2,000 fuel to you and charges you N5,000 and you pay thinking the loot will go to management, Hehe! Do you what he'll do, he'll simply minus The N3,000 loot from the cash on him and balance d rest. Its that simple bro. These ppl r real cheats

U no well

Fussbot: the truth is,a ugly gal can be asked out,bt a pretty gal can be asked out,just so u know a gal can be ugly while bin askd out bt a pretty gal can be ugly..ugliness can be pretty smtimes u know?bt pretty cant be ugly..so ugly pretty equalz to pretty asked out....

Lwkm...jst wantd 2 type smtin on dis topic rili..hian!

kokoletz: did u say just a dream? even when she requested for a WILL?

And they r not even married yet. God knows i will beat Usian Bolt in this kind of race

Tolexander: She dey craze?

Why is she not expected to push? When the moto was moving, she was in enjoying and when the moto needs pushing she must be willing to do that and if she refuses, i will tell her to come down cos i want to push the moto to work. If it works, i won't allow her to enter and zoom off straight home.

Laughing **Falls off seat**

Princessmel: If you and a girl are in a car together, do you expect her to take off her shoes and join you to push?

As a reasonable gal, i expect her to come out and join me in pushing d car, its left 4me to tell her not 2 worry. But if in any case my car spoils and she sits down inside that car moping @ me like a moo, THE KIND MOUTH WASH WEY I GO GIVE AM EH, e go beta 4her say i beat her sef. Whick kind nonsenese go b dat one nah.

alvin000: Short tiny gals love sex, unlike tall gals. Many short tiny gals tend to lose their virginity much earlier than tall gals. Fat gals are the perfect gals to love. When a fat gal loves u, ur lucky. But thin/ slim gals are in m0st cases players and not gud at loving. Most brown gals are hooked than dark gals. Ugly dudes usually get laid m0re than cute dudes. Plus m0st dudes, that are not gud looking end up dating the cutest gals. A lot of gals d0n't appreciate gud boys. Be a gud guy, m0st chicks will shun u. Be a bad guy, hurt gals, break their hearts,and they will love u. Confusing i know!!! Majority of chicks nowadays dress to draw attention, NOT to lo0k gud. Do you agree?

True bro, very true

jiorhemen: I have a lady I truly love and respect so much and I am considering proposing marriage to her and settling down with her as my wife. But I'm still ambivalent because, though I so much love and respect this lady, she was actually the one who approached me first when we first met. Though I had noticed her and admired her, I lacked the courage to approach her (I have never had the courage to approach ladies). But I didn't know she was also admiring me. She walked around my area twice looking at me. Then suddenly, she drew near me and called me to come. And we began to talk and exchanged numbers. Contrary to the common misconception that a lady who approaches a man first is wayward, I discovered that this lady is decent, virtuous, respectful, and is a wife material. But I've heard people say that it's not good to marry a woman who approached you first. Personally, I don't see anything bad in it and I love this girl so much, but people say it's not too good. So please, should I go on and propose marriage to her just as I love to do? Have you ever seen happily married couples whose relationship began with the woman being the one who made the first move?

Op dnt mind dose ppl telling u all that, They r probably jealous of ur relationship. Please go ahead and marry ur babe jari. I wish i was in ur shoez

emmysenior: BREAKING NEWS: Sahara Reporters and Premium Times Has Been Bought By Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It has been reported that the deal was finalised in London few weeks ago. We understand that Buhari acquired 30% stake of these deal with some of the hidden loots when his was in power years ago. Buhari's estimated net worth is in the region of £2.8billion. We understand this figure are just conservative estimates. He is believed to stashed away billions more under his bedroom in daura, and millions more inside his treasured Carmel's Ass. When I cornered Buhari recently outside Paddington green police station, London. I asked him what are the sources of these his billions, he replied by saying to me " Mr James Bond, you are poolish"...And I responded by correcting him and told him he actually meant FOOLISH.....?
