glitest: Abeg, leave us oh

Spiritual Help is immediately needed...

glitest: What Man utd needs, is for their destiny to be rewashed, shined, and pressed straight.....Although this season is becoming unbearable, but I will still support my team...For better or worse.

dmcdad: Wasn't intentional.

dmcdad: If na play, stop am abeg...

Danhumprey: Well,it's just a phase. We'll get over it. It's just ridiculous expecting Van Gaal to perform magic with below average players. He is not a magician for goodness sake.

Danhumprey: So I was able to watch the match last night. Barcelona vs Elche at Camp Nou. I was only able to watch the 1st half. I didn't had time to watch the 2nd half and here's my take on the match,based on how the 1st half was played;


- Messi was active and energized throughout,most especially in the first half. He seem to be on a quest to rediscover his earlier blazing form that made him the best player in the world. He gave the Elche defenders alot to think. He masterfully manuever and zig-zag through the defenders like an invisible spirit and place a shot on the bottom side of the goalpost that led to the first goal. I'm sure,baring any injury,Messi will rediscover his form this season.

- That Munir guy is destined for great things. And just like Messi,he gave the Elche's defence something to think about. He had the first shot on target which unfortunately hit the bar and bounce off. He was presented with another opportunity when the ball was squared for him and he was almost on a one-on-one with the Elche's goalkeeper and could have scored a good goal,but he selflessly decide to pass to next player closer to him and unfortunately that player couldn't score. He is a good player,no doubt. But he will have to battle with Neymar/Suarez for game time. We all know that a fit Neymar and Suarez could be picked to start match anyday anytime,so Munir will have to pray that injury sideline any of those two players.
But he sure has hope,as the coach can't keep using the same players to start every match.

-Then there is Iniesta,the captain. He led by example. When Barca were struggling to break the resolute Elche's defence,Iniesta had a shot on target that unfortunately hit the bar. Otherwise,if Munir's and Iniesta's shot had enter the net,Barca would have been 2goals up.


-Then Mascherano. Honestly,his red card/sending off was baffling and surprising and uncalled for. When Elche break away on the counter-attack,Masherano was retreating back to cover the defence and the goalkeeper. It just happen that he collided with that Elche's player and he was immediately shown a straight red card rather than a yellow card. Replays shows that both players were running for the ball. The Elche's player had the ball at his feet and Masherano was trailing behind him. So in a moment of blindness,Mascherano's foot tackled the Elche's players feet and he felled down. From the replays,it's obvious that that tackle was a mistake and wasn't intentional. But it seem the referee was being overzealous and didn't want to be seen as being partial,so he gave Mascherano a straight red-card.


Anyway,Barca still won the match easily even with 10-men against 11-men.

This is a sign of better things to come this season. But you guys shouldn't be quick to start praising Luis Enrique like the Liga has been won.

dmcdad: I hope you watched your match against Sunderland.

glitest: What does Ascoh mean?

glitest: Shush!!

glitest: Who's Deulofeu ?

glitest: He must be on sale.......So we can buy him.

pickabeau1: Woooooooo......see goal...outside foot ...assist from rakitic

glitest: Thanks babe for been gentle on us; I couldn't watch the game today, but I'm happy I didn't,Cos I wouldn't want to develop high blood pressure.

pickabeau1: LA Pulga!!!


Red card..

coogar: you actually think any of us hate di maria when all we are saying is we would rather have that money spent elsewhere than on a winger. if we had gotten vidal & blind, woodward can splash £600m on a winger & no one would care.

the issue is we are supposed to be fixing the gaping hole first before even worrying about a winger. you think we will win games if we sign di maria & leave the midfield/defence as it is? come on now, that's not going to happen.....not even if we sign cristiano himself!

Deepfreezer: we couldn't finalize his transfer on time. hence he wasn't registered for monday game.

glitest: Hey babe!!... How was your day?.

glitest: I do not want to hear some news about any transfer, if its not going to bring a positive turn around for the rest of the season.

mukina2: oga face ya team and leave mine alone.


This ref keeps sharing cards anyhow.

mukina2: Just park well o


oh finally the lines can identify offside abi?
