Having me @ centre will be unfair to the opposition. A Severe a$# whooping awaits the unfortunate fella who will given the rather unpleasant job of guarding me.

On behalf of Dayo, A40 and Davidbanky, I say welcome back

I know. Got a few mates with Arsenal season tickets and it's just ridiculous. For Chelsea, I know it depends on the stands. Anything between £600 and £1500. But I don't expect those price levels to stay the same upon moving into the new stadium. Just glad we now have 17000 more opportunities to get one. Waiting list long die.

Hopefully we don't have cartels doing deals with the club, mopping up the lot and selling to rich Asians tourists.

Tell me about it. Bumping fans and what not. That is actually a decent price for a quality premier league side. Arsenal's cheapest season ticket is around the £1100 mark. In comparison, another mate just renewed his united's season ticket and He paid £711. And definitely you need to apply early for the tickets. Even Arsenal with their exobirtant prices have a waiting list.

Loooool na so e be. Na dem full ground for the emirates hence the lack of atmosphere during games.

nateevs:
Season ticket loading. Finally. Very good news. First saw it last week. Impressive. Every time I see it, it looks like a gigantic heat sink.

How much does Chelsea's season ticket cost these days? My mate is an Arsenal season ticket holder and price is just simply ridiculous.

usbcable:
Happy Milan is doing well this season

So am I. Not doing great but reasonably well. If we win our game in hand we will leapfrog Napoli who are currently third on the table. Hopefully we can then hold on to that position and claim our spot in the CL group stage.

Nihilist:
Anybody watching this Donald Trump press conference?

This man na pure colomental

Hahahahahaha My Main G Donald. Or has He was refered to back in those days, "The P@#$y Grabber"

Mynd44:
So you guys wanna compare Kerr to Pop now?

I can remember when someone on this site opened a thread to say Jeremy Lin was better than Hakeem Olajuwon. You people should continue

Looool na who talk am? Absolute disrepect to my fav player of all time

CFCman:
It's official.

FIFA has expanded the World Cup to 48 teams.

In 2026, we can all take time off work to watch UAE vs Tahiti

Money Talks my Man

ALl these people will point to performances in key games where they have bailed their team out in very top games

Messi has several CL final performances, Ballack took his team to a world cup final, Kahn won a CL for his team, Seedorf won several CL titles for his team, Robben won a CL final for his team etc

Only Terry we cannot see anything meaningful he has contributed to his team in key games he is always missing or found wanting

All these nah meaningless opaks yarns.

Show me the medals those aforementioned players won for their respective countries was what I asked not their performances in key games

raumdeuter:
And is it not players who make the team? If a Boateng didnt put that type of performance Germany will never win that world cup

If Terry was performing like Boatank maybe Engerland will win something

Says who? If He did not put up that kind of performance, Hummels would have done it.

Well the same could be said of the following international players who either are yet to win anything or never won anything for their respective countries. Messi, Figo, Nedved, Rui Costa, Robben,Davids, Seedorf, Baresi,Maldini, Khan, Ballack. See where I am going?

raumdeuter:
Where Terry dey for world cup final?

Team achievement!

Where Boateng dey for Fifa Pro List? If to say nah JT, e for don sweep up the award

Ibime Iniesta don show face again o .

A40:
You guys need to make the CL next season so we can start making instalments of the beatings we owe you and Inter Milan

Soon enough Bro. The Champions League really does need a competitive Milan. We'll be back. That I have no doubt about

Eruditor:
If he keeps passing up shots an averaging 14ppg will he be MVP? If he keeps throwing behind the back passes that don't hit the target? What about if he did not have the freedom to launch some of his long distance threes? What if he was not the primary scorer for the team (like he isn't this season)?

I see your point however you have to factor in that some coach gave him the freedom that his talent deserved.

Those are all "Ifs" and "'buts" scenarios. You simply don't make someone with the talent of a Steph Curry(once in a lifetime calibre talent). What He has done however is help him harness his strengths

Eruditor:
Sorry it was Greg Popovich that made him.

No one made Curry. He made himself.

Looool@Kerr made Curry a 2 time mvp looool .

Davidbanky:
They couldn't leave him out of the team ... #respect

Was only pulling ya legs. Much deserved!

elrony:
Na so

I think say nah yoruba and igbo pipu full thread sha. Which part of the fertile land are you from?

Davidbanky:
Boa Baba !

Nah leftback Boa they play so shooooo!

elrony:
Oshaina dey here o

Oh boy you sef be delta pikin?

raumdeuter:
Why will Boateng or any defender want to be mentioned in the same breathe as Terry, you must think someone really cares to be mentioned in the English Bramble breathe

Boatank showed his worth in a CL final, In a world cup final stages Terry has been a total disgrace.

Terry show us your performance all we see are award this award that. the same award whorres are now questioning Pique and Iniesta awards when they were telling us awards are all that matter for Terry

Pique, Iniesta have performances to show, we are still waiting for Terry to show something?

Think it would find Boatank has more in common with Bramble than Terry.

I have no problem with Pique and most especially Iniesta. I was firmly in the Iniesta camp during the Lamps vs Iniesta debate. Iniesta will go down as one of the Finest Midfielders of all time so no debate there. However the Terry vs Boateng debate is different.

raumdeuter:
Oliver Kahn beasted the CL final in a way few keeper has done since He was MOTM in a major final. Delivering the title for his team. Cech is the only keeper who has given such performance in a major final

Barthez would be in the ball park of keepers we can compare to Kahn, Like Schmeichel like VDS

Show us Ollie Khan's Wc and Euro Medals you can telling He beasted so and so competition. Beast ko Eranko ni.

Nah no one apart from a couple of Nairalanders will put Barthez's name in that ball park.

A40:
Year 2000. No French goal keeper has achieved this feat.

I don't hang my hat on ifs and buts. If Buffon was Spanish maybe Casillas never gets a chance to show his skills. If Canizares does not slash his feet with a shaving bottle no Casillas. If Adler doesn't get hurt maybe we don't have Neuer today. Ain't nobody got time for that. Valdes gets no pass

Barthez won the best keeper at a WC, Owns a WC clean sheet record, has been rated as the best keeper in the world in a non WC year and made the All Star teams at the WC and Euros. If people are not talking about Barthez that's their problem not his

IFHSS award Ba? Chilavert a keeper better known for his scoring prowess than He is for his keeper abilities won that award too.

As I said earlier, Barthez is a good goalkeeper nothing special. In decades to come when people are talking about France's golden generation, His name would be way down on the list.

A40:
Lmaooooo I go craze oh. Papin played for Milan gee. Shey na burukutu dey worry you ni?

Il grande Milan of that year were the Barca/Real Madrid of now not Marseille. So that your analogy kolewerk

Yh I got my dates mixed up. He signed for Milan in 92 not 93. Not surprising though since his time at Milan was nothing to write home about.

They were but Marseille were like the Bayern of their era. They can beat any team on their day. 2CL finals(winning one and being quite unlucky in the other) is no joke.

A40:
I'm telling you those performances were grossly overrated. John Racist is the most overrated defender in the history of Association football. Boateng does not have to kick another ball to be compared to that great English hype product

Overrated bawo? Well it depends on who He is being compared too sha. Compared to a Jurgen Kohler Yes but compared to Jerome definitely not.

A40:
The same Barthez that shut out il grande Milan as a youngie when he won the CL at Marseille?

A Milan team with Van Basten, Massaro and even their best player Papin that Milan took from same Marseille

Chic2pimp you better apologize.

Marseille had a solid team that year abeg. You sef just mentioned Papin. You could have inserted the name Valdes into that line up and Marseille would not have missed a beat. Victor "The 3 Time CL Champs Omo oro" Valdes

afrodoc2:
That clean sheet had a lot to do also with the Marseille defence of big head Basile Boli and Marcel Desailly with Deschamps shielding them, not mainly Barthez.
Barthez was a talented shot stopper yes, but he was not Oliver Khan's mate.
Don't let your previous arguments and theories of greatness rope you into a corner

Need I say more? I think not. As I said earlier "Good Capable Goalie". Nothing special.

A40:
Lmaoooo. Valdes was never rated as the best goalie in the world. Barthez was

Valdes was never the best keeper at any major tournament Barthez was.

The difference is night and day

When was Barthez ever rated as ths best in the world?

If Barthez had Casilas as a rival during France's era of dominance, His butt would have been glued to the bench too. So Valdes gets a pass there. Also When people talk about France's Golden Generation, hardly does anyone mention Barthez which tells me all there is to know.

A40:
BoaTANK no get anything left to prove to useless defenders like John Racist both at club and International level.

Actually the Boateng haters need to give the credit where its due. Some of us saw his elite status long long time ago. Another guy I see with potential is Dele Alli albeit at a geographical disadvantage internationally. If managed properly that boy would make Lampard and his stats look like a joke. When I heard Bayern scouts were going to watch him at MK Dons about 3 years ago I sensed there might be something there. Toba brought it up I recall

He has nothing to prove to one which is fine but He needs to maintain this level of performance if He wants his name to be mentioned in the same breath as Terry's.

You know me I have got absolute no problems with the Tank. Top3-5 defender in the world currently. Alli is quality. To think Spurs signed him for just £6M. Kind of reminds me of when Milan signed Kaka for peanuts. He needs to leave Spurs though if He wants to maximise His potential. He can only go so far with the ever underachieving Tottenham.

raumdeuter:
Barthez and Kahn are in the same ballpark of great keepers

Terry isnt close to being a top defender

Well judging by titles they won for both club and country, Barthez is so far ahead of Khan, ollie can barely see his tails.

Not only was Terry a "Top" defender, He was an "Elite" defender too. The proof is in the pudding. Dude was chopping multiple defender of the year awards in his prime like no man's business
