RuuDie:with the way we are playing, we cannot be beaten. that's the interesting thing about 4-4-2. you would be superb going forward but also vulnerable at the back. as long as we outscore our opponents, the number of goals conceded does not matter. i also think we have done considerably well despite your analysis that we are weak defensively. we have only conceded 5 goals in 7 league games(3 clean sheets). now let's look at the previous seasons after 7 league games, 10/11-----------9 goals conceded, 3 clean sheets 09/10-----------6 goals conceded, 3 clean sheets(but lost to burnley). ![]() 08/09-----------4 goals conceded, 4 clean sheets(but lost to liverpool) 07/08-----------2 goals conceded, 5 clean sheets(but lost to man city). draw your conclusions! ![]() mbulela:i stand by that and i swear to the cross on that statement. the other problem is that inspite of every evidence to the contrary he keeps insisting the boy is mint and the shining light of a less than stellar midfield.name a better midfielder currently in our ranks? fletcher? gibson?? a sitting midfielder called carrick? who? I have no problem with Anderson he is an okay player, inconsistent in his general play, a bit erratic with his passing, loads of energy and very poor shooting.he is not inconsistent! now let's look at the games anderson has played this season. did he play well against city at wembley? yes! did he play well against westbrom? yes! did he play well against spurs? yes! did he play well against arsenal? yes! did he play well against bolton? yes! all these were consecutive games. if a player puts 8/10 performance in 5 consecutive games, then he's not inconsistent! anderson's game took a little spin when his partner in creativity went out injured against bolton! bring that guy back and let's see what would pan out. He has lots of potential but same can be said of Pogba et al.i never said he's world class - i said he looked world class against barcelona. dayokanu looks like obama does not make him obama! i said he's our best midfielder this season - the soul of the current united team! This has been my problem with Coogar. i understand his personal love for Anderson but he can't wish away the realities.no one ever said our midfield is world class but that midfield would walk the league this term. our problem is in europe and even with that, only barcelona and real madrid(possibly) can stop us. the other teams are dead-meat! not bad for a team you and others keep stabbing with a knife that they are not good enough! this is sterling knee-jerking - it's unthinkable that some people don't feel anderson has improved from the old anderson that got us frustrated! i sometimes wonder how fans like you support the red devils. barcelona are offering free forms. sign up and join them. |
RuuDie:that was how they won the title last season and they have even started better this season. . . which other proof do you need? These teams you call 'average teams' (referring to Fulham and Everton) were a bit tougher last season and before those games we were more than a bit wary that they posed a threat. . . . so dropping points there was almost expected.tougher me arse! everton and fulham would always be everton and fulham. we went there and got pasted! we had van der sar in the team, we had vidic, we had evra. carrick and fletcher were prim and proper. so how did we drop points from a winning position with the same core midfield you have been harping about? Fine we had a terrible start, but grew stronger. . . .now, we've had a flying start which is slowly deteriorating to an extent where we can't even confidently stick our necks out against the likes of swansea and norwich home or away. You say we were lucky then; we are far more luckier presently that the likes of Chelsea, Basel, Norwich and Stoke didn't put away the free gifts we were handing them. . . .God only knows where we would be on the log!we had a terrible start but grew stronger? what is to say our general performance this term wouldn't be stronger as the season wears on. you talk about slow deterioration - forgetting the fact some key players have been missing in the team. vidic has not even featured yet - we can see the evidence with arsenal without vermaelen. chris smalling is out of the team too. same as cleverley and rafael. it was valencia playing right back against norwich. that we are even where we are presently is a testament to the strength of that team and the man-management skills of fergie. the defence that played against arsenal and chelsea had - de gea(rookie), smalling(rookie), phil jones(rookie) evans(rookie) and evra(veteran) in it. name one club in the division that would play 4 rookies and one veteran in the full-back against man utd and ship 7 goals within 90 minutes. yet, these young players held their own. got the deserved 3 points and you are here berating them of handing free gifts. which free gifts? so you are saying chelsea, norwich, basel, etc [b]all conspired [/b]to waste chances in front of goal? you need to detox! drugs is doing you bad. ![]() Minus tottenham. . . . .what we played was a shadow of those other teams. On a G day, would we beat a stable arsenal side 8-2!?we would beat them every day of the week. mind, united's average age on the day was younger than arsenal's. a fact that keeps escaping you! If the bloody anderson was that good, he would play well consistently even if he had dumbbells alongside him. For chrissakes, with scholes and carrick we looked like we had the mexican maginot installed in front of our defence!if the bloody messy was that good, he would play well consistently for argentina even if he had dumb-bells alongside him. with scholes and carrick, we were slow, mechanical and lack as much creativity as the new man utd team. these days, we are buzzing! beating teams and scoring goals for fun! 24 goals in 7 games. in simple arithmetic, it means we could score 120 goals in 35 league games if we keep the form going. Not comparing the leagues. . . .just saying there is a common trend with all the champs!no 2 seasons are the same. in the last 4 man utd's league victories. we have seen different trends. --united have finished bottom in the mini-league of the top 4 teams and won the league. --united have finished top in the mini-league of the top 4 teams and won the league. --united have won the fewest away games from home and won the league. what conclusions can be drawn from these disparate trends? Maybe you don't get 'domination' from my angle. . . . . we beat Norwich 2-0 but we never really 'dominated' them as such; on another day the scoreline woulda been different and that is what we should be wary of, that odd day when the opposition get the rub of the green and we don't. . . . . .and it is so looking like kalo'kalo at the moment.it's a common phenomenon with man utd. i have been hearing that since i was 5. "even when united don't play well, they still win games" we don't have to play well to cop 3 points. that's the united dna. in the last 5 seasons, i can pick 5 games per season where we didn't play well but we got get-outta-jail card and copped an undeserved 3 points! |
baslone:who is to say this type of dressing is wrong? This same African mentality you are referring too.you do! We don't go to our white collar jobs in bumper shorts.some do! We don't visit your in laws in bikinis. Every clothing has its time, place and effects.so you mean indecent dressers in church go there in bikinis? is this a joke? Why make it different with your maker.very good point! what makes something indecent to you might be perfectly decent to the next man. it is subjective. some people think wearing trousers is indecent, some think it is very decent. same as skirts, frocks, or even traditionals! so which set of people are right and which set of people are wrong? Eben 2:you are just making up your own argument - reason like an educated individual. we cannot start anything without defining what indecent dressing really means. when has someone dressed indecently? is there a universal definition for it regardless of culture, location, race, etc? i will be glad if you can provide answers to that - i would also be glad if you can provide pictures of indecent dressers in any church. thanx! |
it seems nigerians are the most gullible set of people in the world. people are so stressed and they have lost their ability to read or comprehend! the headline is fraudulent - written to cause mass hysteria by some idiotic journalist. The Abia State Police command has explained why it suspended investigations into the gang violation that happened in its Abia State University. The state police command said the girl-victim consented to the violation.where is the quote? the article said he was quoted as saying? saying what? why didn't they put his quotes in the article? “The command in its usual manner of protecting informants’ identity, assures utmost secrecy in this regard while a handsome reward of N500,000 awaits any one with useful information.”the above are the only credible points to be taken seriously in the entire article. every other information on it is false or not credible or the wet dreams of a perverted journalist trying to screw with your minds. there's nothing in that article that correlates with it's headline. it's a simple case of poor journalism. |
duduspace:you are a miserable tool! [quote author=dipo+ link=topic=743413.msg9294909#msg9294909 date=1318006610]Don't know much bout u either. But you must be working for Coogar[/quote]dupe, must you mention my username? |
RuuDie:i have seen it! the potential of the current team is immense. if the injured players get back into the team - you would see the difference. Guy, you are just trying too hard to rubbish last season's team, just to make thses ones look good in contrast. . . . .shyte or not, we saw 'em grow from strength to strength and for me, the performances and results speak for themselves. Like I said earlier, I watched most games last season and that before (especially after the early slip-ups) with a certain calm assured in the know that the worst was a draw and this was mainly due to the fact that we had a strong spine, didn't let in that many goals - am not expecting you to tell me you felt the same but I know many UTD fans who did!we had a terrible start last season. dropping useless points to average teams. we were just lucky most of the teams we faced were scared more of reputation than the players on the pitch. 5 away wins in 19 should tell you all you need to know about the team of last season. we were more comfortable not to get beaten than being proactive and going for the jugular from the blast of the whistle. if you enjoyed the start of last season, good luck to you - i did not! And before we start getting too carried away with the "excellent" footie so far or start trying to 'downgrade' the opposition of early last season, who have we played so far - an arsenal side bare to the bones like Railway corporation during a mass retrenchment or is it a chelsea still trying to come to terms with itself, west brom, norwich, or bolton that gets beaten by every tom, Joystick and city!!? Abegi!we have played arsenal, chelsea and tottenham. 3 of the top 5 teams that finished below us last season. compare it to fulham, bolton and everton we couldn't beat away from home last season. Well, if you ask me. . . . this league is looking more and more shyte than those now - or how else can we explain the fact that the supposed 'best player' (life and soul) of the best team in the league needs to constantly have one or two specific valets in tow before he can give us a decent enough performance!pretty much happens like that everywhere. barcelona without xavi/iniesta are less potent! it's not the fault of anderson - it's the fault of the gaffer! we have the least number of mobile midfielders in europe! all we have are the robotic and pragmatic carrick, fletcher, gibson, etc. But look around Europe and tell which champion emerged playing 100-99 scorelines consistently!!?that's the thing - you cannot compare the premier league to other european leagues. the premier league is the toughest! in germany, bayern are the dominant force bar few seasons when they have been their own greatest enemy. in spain, it's between barcelona and real madrid - the other 18 teams are worse than tottenham(the 5th strongest team in england) france, italy, belgium, holland, scotland, etc are shyte leagues. You have a higher probability if success when you DOMINATE. . . . .clearly we are not domineering enough. There is a certain team of midgets that don't even allow the opposing team hold the ball for up to a minute and all am advocating is not giving the opponents too clear a sight of our goal, is that too much to ask?so we don't dominate and we have won 6/7 games. last season, our dominating team won 3/7. ruudie - you are cracking up like rafa! |
StarBoard:8 shots on target and a goal to show for it is having a field day? ![]() |
mbulela:wedded to tom cleverley against other teams in europe but a full strength barcelona team is a different proposition on his own. we can beat anything in europe with 4-4-2 bar barcelona. is this too much to grasp? must a team play one formation throughout the course of a season? StarBoard:carrick and fletcher! we all know how potent the triumvirate of carrick-fletcher-anderson has given us the best european nights in the history of the champions league. the advanced stage of 08/09 champions league is a pointer. I'm ready to buy your bogus argument about Anderson depending on players to perform.who doesn't need a partner to strike fear in the opposing midfielders? how did spain fare in the last confederations cup without one of xavi/iniesta? america flogged them to bits!!! you can put xavi in the arsenal team and letz see they won't be taken apart by wolves. Funny you should mention that,especially when you;re trying to rubbish last season's team that was so shyte according to you,we were able to win the title back and reach the CL finals.because other teams had more shyte than united! it was the most boring league victory under ferguson! Anderson has had NO consistent run of games of dominance in the middle this season.use a bit of logic here. anderson was dominant when he had a constant mobile partner with him in consecutive games. since that partner got injured, his performances have gone down a bit - even a 5 year old kid would know cleverley's absence is the problem! get cleverley back, watch anderson glow! It was a friendly,anyhow you choose to look at it.Derby or not.friendly match between man city and man utd? what can be friendly between those two? nothing. it was a game both managers wanted to win. moreso, man city wanted to put their marker on the ground that they have arrived. that match was a world cup final to man city in the way they approached it. there can never be a friendly game between man utd and man city or man utd and liverpool. it's a derby match. there's no love!!! Question:we shall cross that bridge when we get there! StarBoard:24 goals scored, only 5 conceded. . . . . .yet, no resilence!!! a team allowed basel to score 3 in 16 mins. . . . . .the same team scored 8 goals in 90 mins against arsenal! concentrate! this crappy united team scored 8 goals against arsenal in 90 mins!!! a feat other united's great teams never managed! |
Batam:you are such a miserable sod! Amaka G29:don't buy into the gibberish nigerian men spew. the mind of a nigerian man is the mind of a nigerian man. if you cover these sisters in a long veil, the mind of an average nigerian man is still corrupt enough to UnCloth her with his eyes! we are talking about some of the most devious minded homo-sapiens on this planet! |
afam4eva:what i am about is there's nothing called indecency in church as long as a woman is not stark nak[i]e[/i]d in church. nigerian men are hypocrites! blaming their own perverted corrupted minds on what ladies wear? it seems there are more dogs in human skins in that country called nigeria. who goes to church to be prying at g-strings? jeeez! frosbel:if you are contented with her, stop complaining! Because your mind is more interested in the tithe and offerings , sow and reap false message pastor is preaching.yes, it's better than what you do, recording the bra colours of sister florence every given sunday! Don't put words in my mouth !!nigeria is hotter than all the countries in europe put together! if you expect nigerian women to be wearing winter coats and jackets in that searing heat, then you are on your own! I have witnesses to be provided on demand,go ahead! Good logic except that it does not apply.it applies in every way! of course , I do not expect you to wear a 3 piece suit in the hot sun.but those bush men wear 3-piece suit in the hot sun! just like the idiotic lawyers still wear stinking wigs in the hot sun - what the heck is that about? |
RuuDie:so what is to say the current bunch won't get stronger with time? they have only played 7 league games - unbeaten too! this is a team with a new young goalie(an incentive for smaller teams to be punting shots from ridiculous distances to test his resolve). if van der sar was still with us, the number of shots we have conceded this season would have been about 80% less. . . . . we practically shut teams out in a way it couldn't matter less if our goalie was taking a nap while the game was on. God knows we didn't achieve that with a defence-line (more to the point a midfield) that makes us look upwards to the heavens in supplication everytime the opposition get within 20yards of our goal. Even more annoying it doesn't even matter who that opposition is; whether Crewe Alexandra, Tirana Torpedoes or Ibhola Lethu!in which games did we shut teams out? we only managed to beat arsenal, a disappointing 2-2 draw against aston villa's reserve team full of rookies. beaten soundly by wolves, couldn't beat sunderland, birmingham, everton, blackburn rovers and bolton. we were super shyte last season. we got there because the teams below us had worse issues to deal with it. One-off, happens every once in a blue moon. . . .but in the last 3 weeks, we've seen no-mark teams come and scare the shyte out of us right on our home turf. How often does these teams you mentioned get worried by such teams!?de gea factor! we have mentioned this weeks ago. de gea's statistics in spain prove he's vulnerable to long distance shots. visiting managers tell their wards to pepper his goal with shots as soon as the opportunity avails itself. In over 50 games, probably only less than 10 will manage to outplay Barca or Bayern. . . . .and even so, they'd have to be at their very best to do so. Here we are, living by the Grace of God against Norwich, Basel and you expect us to go into a game against Liverpool with high hopes!!? C'mon dude!!! We can't just be riding luck cuz thats what's been happening since that Chelsea game.bayern and barcelona don't play in the english league - those examples are irrelevant as far as i am concerned until they come to the premier league to play. i don't reckon with what happens in those shyte leagues where 90% of the teams in the league are shyte! Oh yeah, it justifies us playing score me, i score you football!?1-0 and 100-99 attract 3 points each! taking 3 points is the tool you need to win the league. united have done that now 6 times in 7 league games! keep laughing! the truth is i'm laughing too. ![]() |
1025:you are a pervert! your eyes should be fixed on the altar - not the g-string in front of you! |
StarBoard:if supported by 2-deep lying midfielders, anderson would sort them out! Oga, You're being selective.so where are we now? end of the season? you don't want me to select the matches we slipped early last season but you are doing the same thing judging anderson's fine form and our general performance this early? errrrrr, can you see the hypocrisy in your comment? Have we fallen behind this season to even test our character before you start hailing this side and writing off last season's side?2 goals down against man city in wembley. . . .and don't kid yourself about that being a friendly. a derby game is a derby game fergie knew where the problem was - carrick was too pedestrian for anderson to support the attack. so he took carrick off and brought in a more mobile cleverley and the rest was history. i have never seen yaya toure, david silva and gareth barry so outplayed! |
frosbel:women should not wear slim-fitting shirts again? why? because what they wear arouses your perverted mind? why would you blame someone else for what you feel? This is the reason why people like Beaf are not yet saved, they go to church and forget about the real messagethen people like beaf need therapy! On a more serious note women who are truly saved should respect their bodies and stop dressing like harlots !!! Harsh yes, but fact.i don't see what women wear in church. i don't go to church to see such stuffs - maybe that's a factor! Funny because we are talking about Nigeria here and not the UK.so would God judge differently? women from nigeria would be judged differently from the ones in the uk? is that what you are saying? or are you saying when a woman goes to nigeria, she should dress decently and when she's abroad, she should dress "indecently"? make up your mind! In Nigeria many so called sisters dress so much like the world it is difficult to tell the difference.has it occurred to you these sisters wear what makes them comfortable? i find it difficult to wear dressing shirts in nigeria because of the searing heat! i only do t-shirts and wifebeaters. . . .maybe i dress indecently too! ![]() You can and you should. I would !i go to church every sunday and i don't see these things!! i don't even know what constitutes "indecent dressing". good but in very rare cases.be deceiving yourself! |
tunnytox:it's the reason smokers take it until bush african men do it even at 40 degrees centigrade! |
neey1051: ![]() you are a Arrow! |
omodoagba:this is the funniest story ever! poisioned, stabbed, cheated on and this man still survives? how many lives has he got? |
RuuDie:which peace of mind? we lost a 3-1 lead at everton in the 90th min to draw 3-3. we lost leads at fulham too. we were leading 2-1 before they equalized. bolton battered us 2-2. west brom nearly got a win at old trafford 2-2. united were shyte home/away in spite of their conservative football. we conceded loads too. 2-0 against liverpool and they got back 2-2 before berbatov's late winner. it seems you have forgotten how shyte we played last season, i have not! Lately, its just not been encouraging. . . . .why in the world do you think Basel, Norwich had the audacity to play the way they did at OT; we gave them the impetus. Dem born dem well make dem try am with City talkless of Bayern, Real Madrid or Barca!?bayern lost their first game at home. barcelona were outplayed by valencia few weeks ago where they were lucky to get 2-2. real madrid lost to a no-mark team few weeks ago as well. so what are you talking about? RuuDie:clean sheets don't win the premier league - getting 3 points is the ultimate! citeh had the best defence last season, where did they finish? RuuDie:i am confident - if we play our strongest team and they play theirs, we would be fine. very fine! |
RuuDie:he looked world class when he battered iniesta and busquets in america! |
RuuDie:majority of the united fans complained. . . . .whole loads of them did that the team has regressed and it's the worst united team under fergie. that we play within ourselves and we only play very well when chasing a game and blah blah blah. we only won 5 away matches in 19. united's rivals called us crap invincibles |
Orikinla:https://bigpichost.com/files/ice_cube_wtf_gqvqs30u.gif |
mbulela:if our midfield is that really bad, how do we keep winning? not even scholes/keane had it this good in their prime!!! |
Beaf:if it's pleasant, why complain? |
Kennyblues:rubbish! helen ukpabio should have won this award! any woman who maims 100 witches per year in this day and age deserves a nobel prize! |
StarBoard:anderson is united's most mobile midfielder since 2005! [img]http://www.abload.de/img/passoktb.gif[/img] [img]http://www.abload.de/img/pass2ukq1.gif[/img] |
baslone:is that why you are in church? to be the judge of who dresses decently and who doesn't? how does that affect me? if you see something you feel is indecent in church, close your eyes or look the other way! |
frosbel:you reside in the united kingdom, i expect you to know better. . . . . . the environment plays a part in this "dressing in churches" issue. . . . .you cannot then compare how people would dress in spain for instance to nigeria where we have overzealous and overbearing church leaders. what makes one's dressing decent or indecent? is there a rule book? will God judge the heart/intention or what people are comfortable wearing? women wear trousers to church in majority of the western world whilst it's almost a taboo in some churches in nigeria, are you then telling me the female church members in the west would all go to hell and the ones in nigeria would make it? how would they be judged. i was in germany a while ago and on getting to church, i saw the pastor of that church with some other elders in the church smoking tobacco. you would be hard-pressed to see that in nigeria but in the west, tobacco-smoking is almost normal to keep warm! are you then telling me that pastor is hell-bound because he wants to keep warm or what? abeggi, let nigerian pastors continue to deceive themselves. the hypocrisy there is when they come to the united kingdom, they look the other way cos they cannot impose their archaic religious beliefs of nigeria here. you cannot tell a member of the congregation to get out of the church because you think she has dressed indecently. whereas in lagos, it's a very normal procedure to walk people out from the church! so i like have said, there's no hard and fast rule. people should wear what makes them feel comfortable. i don't go to church to ogle at girls in mini-skirt. go to church, pray, give thanks for another day and get out of there! |
braine:asks his friends abroad to register an ebay account for him or get one for him!! how's that so difficult? |
frosbel:pastor solomon oziegbe, there's no hard and fast rule to this cos what is decent in this church might be seen as indecent in the other ones! people should just go to church, worship and leave. stop paying attention to what girls are wearing in the church. nigerian men being randy animals are the problems. always blaming the opposite gender for their own gross irresponsibilities! |
hannie:the doctor speaketh with wisdom! ![]() |
montelik:thank you very much for this comment. . . . . . fans will never be pleased. . . . . .when united were playing dull football, they called them crap invincibles. we were only grinding results, the football was rubbish, united bored teams and scored 1-0, 2-0 and that was it. the media called fergie's team useless and the worst under him. then he decided to change things, putting 2 mobile midfielders together and we were buzzing. . . . . . then the media turned to the number of shots united are conceding in a match - the same media that criticized our ultra-defensive approach in the last 2-3 seasons are now asking why we are conceding so many shots? would they ever keep their mouths shut? it's not like united are not effective with the new approach - we have not lost a single game since pre-season! |
