And do what?


Person wey either dey in beautiful house or dey bar dey drink...


Its best we leave our emotions out of football, these footballers care less about our feelings as far as they earn Millions of pounds annually, its non of their business if fans emotions are hurt or not...

mukina2:



i doubt you'll win anything .. i know we 're winning something

We shall see who will laugh last...

mukina2:
how come you nor answer my how market question?

how market for catalonia o

We have a better chance to win a trophy this season than your Arsenal do!

elampiro:
The league is a marathon.

You are better than this Elampiro, Even a newbie in football knows Man Utd is going though something that is unexplainable @ the moment...


Maybe the PDP-oppression Man Utd had committed against EPL teams including the top teams in the past seasons during Fergie's reign is catching up on you guys now... --- Karma is a ******

ddippset:
messi has more than that average. maybe 3 or 4 a season. even the best free kick takers that ever existed cant do more than 5 or 6 per season. free kick no be lottery.

Are you saying Messi has scored a total of 30 - 40 goals via free kick in the last 10 years? --- I can see where you are coming from! Too much of Video games...


I don't know about the lottery you are talking about but Juninho scored an average of 8 goals a season via free kicks for Lyon in 8 years...

mukina2:
jahahah you nor see soldado's segzy shot just now

Honestly, Tottenham are not playing well just like Liverpool...


Benteke should have scored if not for the goal post...

mukina2:
bros how market?

At least we are hopeful of winning a trophy @ d end of the season but you are only satsfied with Uefa qualification...

Mukina2, leave this thread & head to your thread with immediate effect...

mukina2:
Weimann good goal

It's not fair you taunt harmless Tottenham fans...

Where is coogar?

The honourable host is missing?

elampiro:
I can see improvement. The major problem is lack of continuity in first 11.

Honestly, Man Utd needs Spiritual Help...


This is not good for top class football...

dmcdad:
Exactly! We have to call a spade by its name. And not call it something else. Or is it a bad thing for someone to be honest with its views? And to say things the way they are? If it's bad, then I case my rest.

I tire oh...

ddippset:
it's the other way round. lemme address you directly. stop making messi a scape goat! all of a sudden barca's problems is now free kicks!!!!! prove that suarez and neymar are better free kick takers than messi.

It has always been this way, the old men mostly oppress this new ones & it's not different with Messi...

I guess you would be shocked to realise my Barca fans would rate both Suarez & Neymar better freekick taker than Messi, why? Messi has scored an average of 1 free kick per season for barcelona since 2004...

Why not talk about giving others 1 or 2 chances too?

dmcdad:
Exactly! I love Mesi pass that person oooooo. I love am die! But I still have to be sincere with my views towards him. Else, I would be bias in judging in favour of him on whatever ground.

I do too but deceiving myself is something I detest...

elampiro:
It should have been 8 minutes minimum considering the time Rojo was first aided and stretched out.

You right though but honestly were you expecting the same thing that happened last week to happen again... --- Man Utd is more than this na, nowadays chasing draw against small, medium or big teams, Oh Man Utd!!!


When will this suffering end for Man Utd?

The party is really going down here...


How things na? Elampiro, Coogar, Chrisley024, DopeJemi, Starboard & all man utd fans are invited to the party...

This is funny! --- what's up with the scapegoat thing?


This is football & we shouldn't take anything out of context here...


How many goals have Messi scored via freekicks in his entire career?

dmcdad:
That thing vex me die! Make we dey see next match sha... But seriously, it has to stop or be drastically reduced. Haba!

It seems someone is taking this messi thing personal!

Let the party begins...

Let the party begins...

Haba! Man Utd --- PDP --- 5 mins Extra time...

Make una equalize oh or else we all know what is going to happen @ Man Utd's thread...

Haba! Man Utd --- PDP --- 5 mins Extra time...

Make una equalize oh or else we all know what is coming here...

Haba! Man Utd --- PDP --- 5 mins Extra time...

dmcdad:
Bros God go cool down bless you abeg. Suárez in particular on many occasions spoil that match just because him wan play to Messi. And Messi on his part, just dey blow chances away like garri

And for goodness sake, Neymar is excellent in taking freekicks (and even better than Messi) and with Suárez who is always a fine freekick taker, I wonder why it's being monopolised. If e dey left na Messi, if e dey right na Messi...

AMEN OH! and you too...

Honestly, Neymar & Suarez are better than Messi with freekicks but Baba no dey give them chance @ all...

As for the high service to Messi, it has to stop or @ least minimized, Haba! Shoot!!! Na to still pass to Messi... --- especially Suarez he was irritating me throughout last night with the i cant shoot syndrome without passing to Messi!

If he dey Center, na Messi, if he dey back, na Messi!

slimmy05:
don't mind the parrot. He thinks he knows it all. He's been talking trash all this while. When they manage to build a bungalow in sango or mowe ibafo they will come here ranting like toothless bull dogs.

The same house he would soon sell to the same easterns as warehouse.

Smh...

ddippset:
glaring chances? are you sure of 'glaring'? passed to messi? who did that? tell me what minute and let's check it again.

You are right bro!

ddippset:
'8 man defence is an exaggeration to stress my point, you should know this. celta defended and played on the break. did we watch the same match? you think suarez is the messiah to score the free kicks? lol. we shall see.

Abeggi, Celta vigo played well!


We had our chances but we didn't take them...


I notice you are a die hard fan of messi like say we no bi barca fan... --- so na only mess sabi freekick now?

Relax guys, as it is often said "There are at least seven different ways of KILLING A CAT" .....even if it claims to have nine lives!

When you are dealing with "The Devil", you need to be smart and have a long spoon!

First, l dont support Landlords/ladies "abusing tenant rights". That is the most important statement l can make today!

But any silly tenant who thinks he or she can "take advantage' of our weak judicial system, to rubbish a landlord and taunt, abuse and oppress him/her, has another thing coming!

Ask ourself: [/b]How come tenants dont owe house rents in foreign countries like U.S.A, Europe and Canada?
[b]The reason is that "The law is balanced and it functions" in those places!
You owe just one week rent and the House owner will simply get an IMMEDIATE Court order (within a day or two) and he will change the ENTRANCE KEY right away and if you break the door, you will go to jail.... all within a short time.
Our Courts and judges need to step up if they are truly desirous of "enforcing laws".
The Govt itself needs to build AFFORDABLE housing units for the masses.

Having said that, there are easier ways within the African/Yoruba Context to send out such "evil tenants".

I wont elaborate much and l will post this as a "reported speech" just so that l am properly covered....
But this is how it happened to one tenant like that, ..in order of "appearance":
*Unknown "thieves" visit his room/flat and beat the hell out of him and also take some cash/valuables! => WARNING ...but least advisable due to possibility of leaving traces)!
*He still did not get the message, then he woke up one morning to find "Eboo" (Ritual offering) at his door thereafter, he starts battling strange illness. He just started "drying up' like someone with HIV! people who knew him were asking: Baba Chinedu, wetin do you now?

Ofcourse he went to report to the Police but since nobody knew who brought the "Eboo" and no one could trace/connect its efficacy to his illness, NOTHING COULD BE DONE since our laws does not recognize such "nonsense"!

This is why l love the "African/Yoruba traditional methods of solving knotty problems. (as some people from a particular section of the country are typical of this kind of behaviour of not paying their rent and not vacating the house)....
If you dont like a landlord or dont like the house, just vacate peacefully instead of thinking you would suffer a landlord who "sacrificed" and took time, pain and scarce resources to put up a house ...that you now reside inside!
Even if you cant vacate immediately (due to reasons beyond your control but you are making genuine effort to vacate), make sure you never owe him his rent. if he does not accept it, go and pay it at the court for safe-keeping and they woudl issue you with a receipt!

As l was recounting, by the time this errant tenant starts hearing "strange noises" in his flat at night and no one else could hear it, he himself started thinking "he was loosing it" but as stubborn as they come, he bluffed it off as superstition!

Finally, he became so ill from "Ategun" that he was advised by "those in-the-know" to stop oppressing his Landlord otherwise he would pay with his "breath".
No one forced him before he came to beg Landlord to PLEASE give him one more week ....and he paid all his arrears before packing out!
I am sure a few people here would have had/heard of the same experience?
Omode o mogun, o npe l'eefo!

No need for violence or removing roofing sheet.
We must go back to our tradition in solving certain problems that are unique to our environment.
But let me add: The above would not work for a landlord who tries to oppress his tenant for no good reason! The 'gods' are not partial.
Adaabi jaa j'oogun lo! Even the Bible says "Curse without (Good) REASON, shall not land", right?

The funny thing is that most Nigerians think this "options" are lost in our generation simply because there are lots of quacks masquerading as traditionalist! I can understand younger kids born in Lagos/urban areas who dont know 'jack' about their origins, culture or identity.
Up till today, in my village and my house, you still cant enter and steal in the owners absence ... but the bad caveat is that it cant be used for profit! You cant 'trade' it for a benefit. if given it must be given free.

Too much of Yoruba movies...

I was meant to win £142,200

Approximately 38 million naira

No vex!


There is always a next time bro...

We lost due to ill-luck after hitting the bar 4 times...


Seems Barcelona are not prepare to do without our midfield maestros Xavi-Iniesta...


Lastly, high service towards Messi three-much... --- must everyone pass to Messi instead of shooting when they have glaring chances...

ddippset:
so many disappointing comments right here. we blame, blame , blame and blame. do we really watch the games at all? no other team in the whole of europe endures what our attackers have to endure game after game, not chelsea, not man u, not real madrid, not bayern. i have watched every of barca's games and it's always the same. teams put 8 men at the back from the blast of the whistle, and play on the counter. sometime in 2012 this technique was discovered. and it has worked for them. its easy to blame messi, its easy to blame neymar, its easy to blame iniesta, xavi and co. by the end of the season we would have blamed the whole of the 23 players. who doesnt know that there are always two lines of 4 defenders each whenever messi or neymar gets the ball? what are they supposed to do? disappear through the walls? and reappear on the other side?it's also very easy to say 'messi shouldnt be missing the chances he gets' but anyone who has played the game might know that its very easy to miss a chance when you have been worn out already trying to break down an 8 man defence or when you get a one on one with the keeper and your subconscious tells you there 'hundreds' of defenders around you. all the boys are good: messi, neymar, suarez, iniesta, rakitic, etc etc. we will get back to winning ways. what needs to change is the pattern of play. something must be done about teams playing 8 men at the back from minute 1. anyone who claims this is just an excuse is insincere. what should be done to create spaces at the back? give the ball away to the opposition? play long balls promptly to the attackers? worst culprit-busquets-i have seen busquets countless times do this: he wins the ball from the back and instead of sending a long ball forward while the defence is still sparse, he opts to make a side pass to xavi, xavi back pass to pique, pique another side pass to masch, then masch to busquets again, 3 minutes are gone, 8 defenders have taken thier positions again at the other end. all of these when the ball could have gone from busquets to messi or neymar in 6 seconds! like madrid or chelsea do it. what needs to change is the pattern of play.

You self calm down!


Abi no be the same match wey Celta vigo comot play us wella u dey talk of 8 man defence!


Make we talk true jare, we hit post 4 times so it is meant to be but my thing is the "high service" to Messi is too much...


Freekick messi, to shoot na to pass to messi, Haba! Walahi, if Suarez had shoot instead of looking for Messi, we no go dey here dey talk this na...
