dayokanu:
Ronaldo in Man Utd was needed to do all those stuffs as he is the most creative player by a mile, In Real his creative skills are not needed they need his scoring beast to come out.

rooney and giggs were far creative than ronaldo.
you did not pay attention back then. 2006/7 was the only season ronaldo was far and above everyone else in england.
go and see the quality of his goals then. he was messiesque/ronaldinho-esque.

Why bother with twinkle toes, step over when you have Ozil, Kaka, Dimaria behind you?

just saying he's now a king of tap-ins.

Mentioning those names would impress European football mediocres like Nateevs
How many of those names you mentioned are top 9 in the mould of Torres None. They all played behind a top striker who banged in goals
Zola played behind hasselbaink and TA Flo, Bergkamp played behind Kluivery and Henry, kanu played behind strikers Maradona was not a top 9

football back then was 4-4-2. no one played behind anyone.
strike partnership was what it was called. . . .any of 9 or 10 could score goals then depending on the state of play.
otherwise, maradona wouldn't score 5 goals for argentina in 86. he had a number 9 ahead of him.

funny how you remember one played behind one now.
where was your brain when you used to flog berbatov as a flop?
dayokanu, you shouldn't be engaged in football debates.

Its like comparing Baggio to Vieiri.

no, comparing baggio to vialli.
baggio scored more goals than vialli in 1990.
sneijder scored more goals than van persie in 2010.

Coogar you are disgracing yourself here

nah, you are the disgrace.
scoring goals is the most important feature in football. it decides games and it's sometimes the difference between losing and winning.
however, some strikers are more than scoring goals in what they provided on the pitch.

for example, would you say maradona flopped in 86 world cup final against germany?

dayokanu:
What is the difference? Torres was mediocre in la Liga he came to EPL became a star overnight this shows how crappy the standards in EPL are. check out others like Aguero, Silva and mata who have become the best players in their teams which is a congregation of stars.

torres moved to liverpool. aguero, silva and mata moved to a better club than torres did.
for instance, look at javier hernandez. if he was playing else where say in aston villa, he would be less dominant.

These former mediocre players are now the best players in multi million Dollar squads. Its easy to be the best player in Bolton but they are the best players in the best English clubs? Why didnt Garether barry or James Millner or Raul Merelies become icons like these former mediocre la Liga players?

joe hart
edin dzeko
david silva
adam johnson

what were the performances of the players listed here before in comparison to now.

Gomez best cant match gerd muller

are you sure?

Even Ronaldo Lima won a few club medals yet he was one of the best players in Europe in his lifetime

a winner of 2 world cups, several copa america titles and confed cup.
name one trophy gomez has won for germany. please, just one!

So Gomez must be in good company  

he's not - he's won nothing on the continent.

klinsmann,
rummenigge
voeller
hrubesch
littbarski

the names above are far far far better than mario gomez.

nateevs:
Keeping the shape is technical football. It is what keeps a team going for a long time.
It is what keeps a manager's job for a long time.
JM was a master at maintaining team shape. That's why he achieved a lot here.
You cannot have a striker who scores goals and then the team loses all the time, else we should we should be buying Darren Bent.

The shape creates chances, prevents goals, and improves the overall team's performance.
The modern day striker offers more than just goals.

you are very intelligent!
i am grossly impressed.

for herbs like dayokanu and ibime.
they only see goals and their comparison is based on goals/apps all the time.

look at ronaldo today. his game has suffered. he has been converted to a pure goal scorer.
he cannot dribble past his marker without speed. his link up play has deteriorated
even his first touch now is abysmal but he scores obscene amount of goals.

compare him in man utd in 2006/7 where his strength was leaving his markers for dead and shooting to score. he was a menace to defences then. he couldn't be stopped. he crossed better, passed the ball better and his smart link-ups were exemplary.

there are more to strikers these days than goals. it has always been like that until the prevalence of the blogosphere where wikipedia rules the roost.
imagine what dayokanu would be saying about zola, bergkamp, cantona, kanu and even maradona if there was internet then. dayo would say hasselbaink was a better player than zola or kevin phillips was better than cantona and ian rush was better than maradona

dayokanu:
Check my records on NL, I have always said Torres is a mediocre striker only made good by the English league

i beg to differ.
you said torres from a mediocre club in la liga came to england and is dominating the news media.
a theory you had always used to back the fact that english defenders are useless. yes or no?

See how good Silva, Kun AGuero and even Mata look now compared to their status in their previous leagues.

they are all playing for man city and chelsea. multi-million pound clubs with world class players all round.
this is the same as saying cristiano ronaldo's league in portugal was better because he dominated in england or hernandez's former league in mexico because he dominated in england. the quality of the club has changed. if you play aguero in stoke, he will be anonymous. who was david silva last season in the league? did you sniff him? now that more quality has been added to his team, he's bound to shine.

Klose was good in that time frame around 2006, but currently now Gomez shyts on him for Bayern.

gomez even shyts on gerd muller now. messi shytes on maradona.
gomez shytes on klinsmann and rooney shyts on george best.

Purple patch is what you called a player who is only 3rd behind Ronaldo and Messi in the lasy 4 seasons summed together?

name one trophy this mario gomez won in the last 4 seasons summed together.
i know ronaldo and messi won league titles, champions league titles and tonnes of individual awards.
roll out gomez's achievements. in my opinion, diego forlan, david villa, rooney and even milito all shyte on mario gomez.
goals must lead to titles. scoring 200 goals per season without them bringing any glory to the club is meaningless.

May your patch be purple  

amen!

nateevs:
Hmmmm. . . but you are the same person who just said we played well against QPR. . . Or have you suddenly forgotten what deficiency means?
Meanwhile why were you not here when we flogged Genk 5-0 and Torres played?
Or he was not deficient that day. . . Gosh!

forget dayo - he's a fair-weather fan.
this same dayo fellated on miroslav klose from 2006-9 on this forum. to dayokanu, klose could do no wrong. highest goal scorer in world cup this and world cup that. he even suggested klose would break fat ronaldo's world cup scoring record of 15 goals, etc.

just because the robotic mario gomez has hit a purple patch now, dayokanu has changed his mouth that klose is a w@nker. klose was never good and blah blah blah. go back to 07/08, dayo was fellating on torres. torres made an interview that english defenders were easy to skim. dayo bought that statement. he used it to flog many premier league strikers then. i am sure he even used it to downplay ronaldo's 42 goal season - that ronaldo would only do such in england but would be found out in spain.

as at the last time ronaldo played in spain. he has scored 103 goals in 106 apps for real madrid.

I go away for a while and return to be greeted with this thrash. . . . again!

add 20 yrs to today's date.
dayokanu would still be talking balderdash. he's a zombie.

nateevs:
Anyone blaming only AVB really needs their heads examined. Daniel had one of the poorest games I have ever seen from a Chelsea player. It was a day in general where everyone was piss poor.

everyone? mata was imperious. i think ivanovic played well too.

dayokanu:
When you are playing with a player deficiency you would always perform poorly.

Let barca play short 1 vs Arsenal and you would see.

Torres has always been short 1 for the team probably thats why the team conceded 5 goals

How about Mr Torres take the chances he was provided. If he had taken his own chances, the opponents wouldnt even bother to score 5 goals

I trust Drogba, Even if he doesnt do anything, he would always tame Arsenal but

2010/11
arsenal 3-1 chelsea.
drogba played 90 mins, he didn't tame nada - matter of fact, djourou sodomized drogba all night.

Israelcj:
nairalanders,i am getting uncomfortable with my fiancee,how can she know all this while and never asked me?can i really trust her cos she doesnt even want us to discuss it otherwise she wuld get mad

you must be very silly. i am beginning to think this is another tale by moonlight.

what kind of question are you asking? how can she know all the while and never asked you?
what do you expect her to ask you? "did you enjoy fuckin my sister?" "what sex position does my sister enjoy the most?" "did you protect yourself when sleeping with my sister?"

it's bad enough you dogged her sister, now you want her to be reminded by your randiness every night and day?

nateevs:
I don't want to be part of those who called AVB naive. The only problem I saw though was that he wants to play a certain way but he is not following through on all he needs to do. You cannot continue to play a high defence line with JT and Mikel. Against a team that knows how to pass the ball, we will be flogged over and over again. We have a major problem at RB and Malouda should never wear a Chelsea shirt again.

If AVB was us to excel in the way he forsees, he needs to drop JT, Ramires, Mikel, Bosingwa and Malouda and replace them appropriately.

Meanwhile is there any Chelsea who was thinking we were going to win the league? I thought we all concluded we are in transition.

i cannot even blame avb for the loss against arsenal. the tactics would have worked perfectly had chelsea scored 50% of their chances in the first half. arsenal have no strong mentality. score 3 quick goals against them and they usually surrender the fight and lose the will to win. but with a goal margin., they can be very dangerous cos they counter-attack effectively.

sturridge was one of the reasons chelsea lost. mata played some terrific passes to sturridge who should have looked up and played a quick pass into the box for torres n co to score simple tap-ins. sturridge stayed too long on the ball sometimes for 5 seconds b4 releasing the ball and the chances simply disappeared.

the 2nd half was a comedy of errors. it was walcott against 3 chelsea defenders. yet, he scored.
then malouda's pass to terry was just idiotic. terry diving because he didn't want a race with van persie was equally comical.
the last goal was bosingwa's fault who should know van persie's left foot is far dangerous than his right. he should have showed him in, not out. and even if he wanted him out, he should have pushed him further to the touchline where the angle would be too acute.

it's difficult to blame villas-boas for the elementary mistakes in chelsea's defence.

Walala:
Its an absolute shame because everything i use at home from tv, to home office to play station to apple stuffs all run over the internet and the thought of letting go of some usage because some company gives me only 5Gb of data a month is crazy. What ever happened to Adenuga's glo marine 1 cable that was supposed to break new grounds in terms of data?

his optic fibre technology needs land telephony to connect most nigerians, otherwise it's a sheer of waste of money.
he's trying to buy nitel now so the high-speed internet can use the old nitel cables which millions of nigerians will find very affordable like here in the west. i am sure the government's bureaucracy is stalling mike adenuga.

obasanjo is a bastard wherever he is. when mtn and econcet came calling in 2001, obasanjo should have coaxed them into investing and reviving telephone lines. the idiotic president(clueless about technology) did none of that and the mobile phone craze spread like virus. every country needs land telephony because of technologies like the optic fibre and even digital tv. if adenuga does not succeed with the acquisition of nitel - the optic fibre stuff would be a waste or it will be damn too expensive for the average nigerian cos that means globacom would have to provide fresh lines to serve the multitude of the internet users.

which tax,the last i remmeber was paying Nepa and when my dad paid the water bill our landlord was angry cos he said the water people will now start sending bills to us as soon as we pay it
which other tax,are talking of the television tax of the 80s?maybe i have been out of naija for too long but what other taxes do you pay
dont mention ow ile and co cos thats just obtaining

they tax people's salary in nigeria. ain't you aware of that?
some nigerians pay tenement rates too(like council tax) - the local government tell lies and make empty promises of street lights, tarred roads, flowing drainpipes, huge power transformers, etc. in the end, nothing gets done.

nateevs:
I dey coma . . . . I just got woken up by a miracle, after eating a bucket load of shyte.

it's nothing.

in football, shyte happens - this is why we love the game so much.
you can play the same match again, same players, same officials and chelsea would win 6-2.

it was mostly end to end.
the team who makes use of their own chances would beat the ones who played galala with theirs.
that said, sturridge is not a team player.

Walala:
Which ISP is the best in Lagos in terms of speed and data usage? Is there any unlimited usage?

nobody in nigeria can even tell you that answer.

freedom of information is zero. if you try too hard, they will misinform you.
shouldn't there be a government service that one can task to provide this kind of information so foreign investors can know?
some people will say glo. others will say mtn, some others will say cobra.

i have been asking various people this information, the point is many don't even know the difference between speed(bit/sec) and size(bytes).

milehigh06:
@ bolded,and we wonder why we dont have water,electricity,good roads,good hospitals,good security,good housing
taxes are paid for a purpose

they pay that same tax in nigeria with nothing to show for it.

lindabon:
I tire for them. Everyday on NL, naija girls this>naija girls that.
SMH, and talk of being over dramatic, and nagging. most 9ja men have turned into cry babies. Well, i can't complain, they don't score above average in my books anyways, so I've stopped bothering about them. Except here on NL, were they just can't seem to stop complaining and gossiping like girls!! Low self esteem just dey deal with most of them on here.

can i see those books, please?
i want to know your scoring system.

nateevs:
Reading through all of Ibime's posts, one will think Nateevs is the reason for Chelsea's slump. I don land, let the bashing begin. 

nateevs? you appeared after almost 15 days of your monumental loss to arsenal?
where did you go? were you busy eating baba suwe's shyte u went into comatose?
before we start football talks. . . . .tell me about your shyte-munching experience.

[quote author=Okija_juju link=topic=798888.msg9514452#msg9514452 date=1320849089]3 months after returning home, I got a job that pays over 500,000 Naira per month (after taxes) and I am ever grateful for the experience, but now I know better and I advice many people to always come back to Naija after their studies abroad.[/quote]even with this amount per month, i am not sure nigeria will be worth it for me! 500,000 after taxes but 40% of that goes to buying fuel for car/generator to provide steady light(something the government should be doing for you), another 10% would go to the security of your house. if you earn half a million per month, you need a maiguard/ iron gates, etc. what about the maintenance of your automobiles? i cannot remember the last time i took my car for repairs. by the time you deduct intangibles/tangibles from your 500k, you are not really better off!

the one in pink is nolongthing!
someone got me the pic on facebook. i posted it on a thread on family section.

nolongthing out of insecurity quickly doctored it and wrote ma name on one of the gibbons in the pic.
to mask his once homoerotic characteristic.

Its a picture of Coogars boyfriend, he is a desperate ga.y Naija boy, he posted it himself.
