it's not like barcelona cannot afford cesc. . . .they actually think fab has depreciated after having a stinker last season.

nateevs:
The club can afford it eh? Lemme see you on the other side talking trash about how much Chelsea spent with that rubbish coming from your keyboard. Ashley Young may never play for England again yet he's about to earn 120,000 a week.
Ashley Young at this moment should not earn more than Kalou.

where do you get these figures from? abeg, run back to your chelsea thread where information are bandied by drunkards. . . .

nipping ashley young for £15million is a steal. . . . .if you now add the fact he signed a 5-yr contract, then it's a day-light robbery. that works out as £3m per annum which is about £60k a week. i dunno where you got your £120k from. . . .(maybe add-ons from image rights and other tv nonsense).

From: Twitter

From 07/08-10/11, Ashley Young has provided 30 dead ball league assists: 7.5 per year. #MUFC's best Nani has averaged 4.25.

Young's dead ball assist rate from last 4 years of 7.5 per season is better than Beckham - who averaged 4.77 per season in his #MUFC career.

47% of Ashley Young's career league goals have come away from home, compared to Valencia's 31% and Nani's 25%. #MUFC

Ashley Young has scored 32 goals in the Premier League - 100% on his right foot, 34.4% from outside the box, 37.5% from dead balls. #MUFC

Ashley Young is 7th on the PL assist rate list with 0.46 assists per game, behind Giggs, Bergkamp, Cantona, Fabregas, Henry & Beckham. #MUFC

5 – Ashley Young won more penalties than any other player in the 2010/11 Premier League season, winning 5 of Villa’s 6 spot kicks. Tricky.

44 – Since the start of the 2006/07 season, only Cesc Fabregas (60) has made more PL assists than Ashley Young (44). Creator

I think its also the area I moved into   its like a village.(expensive)
The house is quite reasonable but everything else just dries your pocket

countrysides can be expensive. . . .enough millionaires retire in those areas(away from the hustle-n-bustle of london). . . .as an aside, enough big multinationals, engineering companies are also situated in these areas to avoid the overheads of the major cities. . .thus you are living amongst the big boys in the uk. so expect your utilities to be crazy.

dayokanu:
In the winter months get a boyfriend to warm you up. Its called going green

na hypothermia go kill the couple. . . .if you don't believe me, watch titanic again.

kandiikane:
^^I know. We have not used the heaters since March(gets too hot) We bought those portable heaters.

what you used in febuary alone is enough to amount to 300 quid. febuary is the coldest month in the year. the winter bites like crazy then.

kandiikane:
^^I know but I was shocked because we don't use that much gas for it to be around 350 we use more electricity than gas

your heaters are powered by gas.

nateevs:
The season is going to be about how many players will leave. I don't know AVB's plans but I am guessing Josh, Kakuta, Bertrand and Sturridge may go on loan.

what an interesting summer this is turning out to be.

in total, how many strikers and midfielders will chelsea have.

strikers
drogba
anelka
torres
kalou
sturridge

neymar
falcao
lukaku

midfielders
malouda
mikel
essien
ramirez
zhirkov
lampard

thiago
de bryune


are you guys aware of the 25-man squad?

nateevs:
You may. I'm just being me. No one has monopoly of knowledge.

so let's discuss like football geeks now. . . .

who is chelsea bringing in? will falcao and moutinho join chelsea now? if they do. . . .what then happens to torres, drogba, kalou, mikel, etc?

nateevs:
You wish mate!

no comment! the fact that i don't support chelsea does not mean i dunno more about it than the fans supporting them.

nateevs:
I see you are sniffing around a lot. 
I saw this doc in 07 and saved in my Chelsea folder.
I was amazed.

sniffing around ke. . . . i am a football guy, i read everything about football. i know a lot more about chelsea than any of you rent boys(ibime, you, akolawole, jalether, etc).

RuuDie:
Seriously. . . . is there a footie analyzing site that can match ZM.net

i know about a dozen more but you will have to pay for the information. . . .deal?

chamotex:
Amodu Shuaibu would win the Portuguese league with the resources/power they have over there.
He already said he's targeting all FOUR trophies . . . so lets wait and see.

how is this for a scouting report from villas-boas? http://www.bragafut.com/artigos/art18.pdf

now compare that to this. . . . .
he makes paul ince look like a twunt!

https://www.zonalmarking.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/paul_ince_gif_shoot.gif

chamotex:

Good achievement - Porto are the kings of Portuguese football. Its very possible they will win the league again next season with their new manager.
And I'd like to think you are not comparing the EPL to the Portuguese league.

And the only notable record he has was last season  . . . so what other track record are you on about?

portugese league is weak. anyone thinking his achievements in portugal will be replicated here must be a coke addict. there are more competent teams in the premier league now. there are even clubs who can outspend roman abramovic if they want to. he's going to have it tough unless roman makes a major overhauling of chelsea(sending the old dogs away and starting afresh with villas-boas preference).

chamotex:
Learnt what exactly?
What did McClaren learn from Fergie?

Being an under-study to a good coach like JM doesn't mean he will be like him.
One thing I know is Chelsea is a very difficult team to manage  . . . players with egos and all sorts.
AVB will have his hands full.

villas-boas is an excellent manager - he pays attention to every detail. i saw one of his leaked scouting report for jose mourinho when they once worked for chelsea and boy-o-boy, i am yet to see a more detailed pre-match analysis showing the strengths n weakness of their opponent(newcastle). chelsea ended up winning 3-0.

the only glitch here is. . . . . .will chelsea create an enabling environment for this man to thrive? in any other club in the top 5, i will be very wary of what villas-boas will add but @ chelsea, i don't think so. the question of power player is there(john terry, frank lampard, drogba), then there's the owner who behaves like a tyrant and there are other issues as well.

i can't wait for next season. . . . .it looks promising already.

r231:
i get that from EDF for free. . . . don't know why but they post them to me every yr

their customer service chic probably fancies you.

denzel2009:
Before you can switch to the emergency the electricity would have gone off and you'd have to re-insert the key. If after 3 days you are not able to top up, you are on your own.

Even during the heavy snow, the indian cornershops were opened.

that must be in london. . . . . .in faraway yorkshire, there was no life. some people even got stranded in a pub for a week cos they couldn't go home. vehicles were completely buried with snow. which indian wants to die?

swit D:
Sum1 shld plz tel me a season movie dat wud b as interestin as 24 hours. 24 hours is d bst!

i actually think 24 is the worst of the lot. . . . .

@Poster,

Electricity, Gas and Water bills in the UK is not a matter of joke. However, switching off light when you really need it is not sensible.

People should learn to switch off light when it is not required.

A recent article in CastlesWeekly is interesting and will be useful for people who like to save on electricity:
http://www.castlesweekly.com/ShowArticle.aspx?ID=1575

Three bedroom family house in the UK pay an average of:
- £60 on electricity per month
- £60 on gas per month
- £40 on water per month

you can add the following to the list above. . .

sky/virgin(satellite/cable)
council tax
tv license
internet
bt-bill/mobile phones
road tax
rent
car insurance/home insurance

and these bills are not bills you can evade like nigerians evade nepa/phcn by calling a technician to reconnect after getting disconnected. the only controllable bill here is the gas/electricity bill so one must understand why nigerians turn off their lights.

denzel2009:
Lol, the providers know this would happen that is why all prepaid electric keys have emergency top up. If the light goes off, you just re-insert the key and it gives you an extra 3 days worth of electricity.

what if you were already on the emergency top up and it get used up? remember last december when people were snowed in for like 7 days. do you know the number of people that died of the cold weather because they couldn't heat their homes?

nolongtin:
@ coogar,i dont think your right on dis, way back wen i was renting a 2room aprtmt i pay montly 50 pounds on electric,now i gat a 5 bed apart ,i now use pay as u go and still pay same.i was thinking it will be higher cus i gat more rooms but, and again you look @ the service provider, some are more expensive.

you can use £10 monthly on pay-as-you-go in a 20 bedroom apartment if you want to. the control is with you and if you use your electricity miserly, it can be achieved. what i am saying here is you must have conditioned yourself in the 5-bedroom apartment not to spend more than £50 a month.
my problem with pay-as-you-go is. . . . .what if your light goes off at 1 am on a cold snowy night in february? you will just die of hypothermia because you are saving money?

omanzo02:
What is so special with electricity bill in UK than other European countries?. stop being siilly man.  

it's the most expensive in the developed world coupled with the fact that there are other bills to pay here and there. . . .on bills alone, people pay as much as £1500 per month if you stay in the heart of the capital.

shawonlese:
I notice this happens mostly in london rather than other cities.

this is so true and this is because the cost of living in london is bordering on ridiculous. 7 out of 10 nigerian houses you visit do this practice but then it depends on the social status of the people you are visiting.

there are two types of gas/electricity billing system. . . .you have the pay-as-you-go card that you top-up when you have used up the utility and you have the monthly payment billing system that puts you on a flat rate. a lot of nigerians opt for the pay-as-you-go to control their finances.

the belief is. . . . . . .what they use is what they pay and no mago-mago billing system can cheat them but the truth is. . . . .they often spend more than the ones using the monthly billing system. it's all about orientation and information.

AjanleKoko:
I only saw the first half of that game, and Spain tore Chile to shreds in that half. That was the game where the keeper was dumb enough to run almost to the centre circle line to make a clearance. Villa chipped him from the halfway line.
Chile scored from a deflection early in the 2nd half, but lost a man, and Spain kind of shut the game down. I still don't remember anybody from that team. Weren't they coached by Bielsa?

bielsa was the most inventive manager in the world cup. . . . .the way he set his team was lauded by pundits all over the world. whilst the other teams set up with the boring and negative 4-2-3-1, bielsea went to the world cup with 3-3-1-3 formation. attacking football cryuff never dreamt of. . . .
http://www.zonalmarking.net/2010/06/08/marcelo-bielsa-chile-world-cup-2010-tactics/

this is the match analysis as well. . . . .http://www.zonalmarking.net/2010/06/26/spain-2-1-chile-tactics/
they were the only side who went with attacking tactics against spain throughout the 90 mins. not even germany and  holland were that bold to square up with spain.

comechop:
Forgive my french but that is BULL shciess.
My girl is damn attractive - and does not drink, club, party etc - she actually hates those.
So yes - it is very possible, a highly attractive chic w high taste can be chaste. Rare, but worth it. Definitely worth it.

what you consider attractive might be mgbeke to your next door neighbour so i would hold that with a pinch of sugar.

you are still a tool. . . .there will always be an exception to every rule. . . .that is why the word expect is the operative word here. i will normally expect a chinese person to be short - it does not mean you will not find the a tall chinese man. did any of you herbs learn comprehension in school at all?

violent:
bla bla. . I ve seen that before.

You say something absolutely senseless and once someone points out such magnitude of tomfoolery , you come wearing a defensive jacket "Oh i was quoted wrongly!"

you must have been born obdurate. . . . .i can't even spoon-feed you cos you are too dense to grasp basic things. i simply told the op not to expect a highly attractive chic with high taste to be chaste. . . . .if you cannot grasp that theory, then feck off the webspace, find a broom and sweep a warehouse.

violent:
"You have to drink, rock wild parties and fúck like a horn dog", to be interesting?-------> Bullshyyyt!!!!   Such a myopic way of reasoning!

I know of girls that will check you anyday anytime, yes, their presence will intimidate you. . .and NO, they haven't adopted the rubbish "Yankee way of life"

I strongly recommend you spend some time away from the village!

don't be a tool. . . .read what i typed very well before yapping your mouth.

Elpieda:
Thats a very faulty statement,

how is it faulty? read between the lines. . . . i did not say any chic that's attractive with a superb dress sense must be loose. . . . .but if you have any chic with that kind of lifestyle and if she ends up screwing like a dog. . . .no one would raise an eyebrow.

Ain't it weird?
I never heard of Alexis Sanchez prior to this transfer window. Now all of a sudden every big club in Europe wants to buy him, and break the bank no less.
Cat must have a badazz agent

he's a very good player. his stock rose at the world cup where he took the spanish defence to the cleaners. shame they missed all their chances but they were the only team that gave spain a game throughout the mundial.

All my life I have been a christian but most of the girls that have loved me are not the type of christians i will like to date and marry.I have missed alot of girls just because I'm not willing to compromise my values.The irony of the whole thing is that while I was in naija I always fall in love with the wrong christian girl( they are either engage or have a serious relationship) therefore I left without any serious relationship.Alas! now I'm in yankee and I hardly meet a girl who does not drink goes to wild party and sex is just a normal way of life. I'm under pressure to compromise and lower my standard , I'm scared It may be impossible to find a wife if I keep on with this belief. what should I do? do you think its wise for me to adopt the yankee way of life?

you can either backslide and adopt the yankee way of life or stick to your beliefs and get a woolie-hat wearing, under-dressed/no dress-sense, no make-up, chaste and boring sister in the nearest church to your abode. don't eat your cake and have it. do not expect to get the attractive, weave-wearing, acrylic nail fixing sister without expecting her to drink, rock wild parties and fu[i]c[/i]k like a horn dog.

Young is a good addition to our squad . . . how can anyone not be happy with that?
I like the way he plays (just like me ) . . . I like players that are prepared to take defenders on and go past them with ease.
He is also very deadly on set-pieces . . . something we've lacked since CR7 departed.
Rooney + Chicharito + Berbatov must be rubbing their palms right now . . . quality delivery at all times.

That is true . . . Valencia will miss the opening weeks but Anderson and the twins didnt make the final cut for Brazil though.'

i like ashley young. . . .he's very hardworking and i believe he will step up his game when he plays around world class players. one thing is set in stone: young at aston villa >>>>>> valencia at wigan. . . . .if young also improves like valencia did 2 summers ago, then united rivals should beware.

valencia will miss the start of the season because of copa america. . .anderson/da silva brothers might also be missing. . . .we need a deep squad to get past the difficult fixtures at the start of the season so i welcome ashley young - his opportunity to win big titles at united beckons.

chamotex:

i think we should forget alexi sanchez then. . . . .

@Ibime, I am giving you an example that if the president will pay D3,000000 it shows that the price is not cheap and the more you earn the more your inlaws will ask.

your president should be arrested. paying 3 million dalasis to some in-laws. . . .what kind of a leader does that?
