elampiro: 1. I am yet to see where SAF mentioned Rooney did not play to instruction. Instead what you showed me is a journalist own opinion.

you wouldn't see it because you saw the match via radio commentary. every man and his dog know how SAF and rooney were having arguments during the game.....SAF was not satisfied with rooney throughout the game.

In the 2011 Champions League final, Rooney was given one job: mark Sergio Busquets. The logic behind the plan was obvious: as United’s second striker in a 4-4-1-1 system, he would be the man nearest to Barça’s pivote, the player who begins and revives each of their attacking moves and the player that makes tiki-taka possible. Stop Busquets, goes the theory, and you stop Barcelona. Xavi, Iniesta and Messi are brilliant with the ball but cut off their supply and you stand a chance.

What is remembered about that game – besides the fact that United were for a second time absolutely rogered by a rampant Blaugrana – is that Rooney scored a genuinely brilliant equalising goal towards the end of the first half.

Generally forgotten is that Rooney so flagrantly disobeyed Ferguson by not marking Busquets that the Scot spent much of the first half bellowing with rage in Rooney’s direction. On one occasion, Rooney’s manager had to be physically prevented from entering the field of play to remonstrate with him. Busquets was always available to receive and play the ball and Barcelona’s flow was never interrupted. Thanks to Rooney, Manchester United never stood a chance.

2. United was alleged to have played a 4-4-2 formation with Rooney and Chicharito in attack. The report said Giggs and Carrick were completely dominated. Giggs and Carrick failed us plus the other midfield players on the night, certainly not Rooney who was one of two strikers. How can Rooney from attack be required to mark Busquet? No coach will demand that of one of his only two strikers. It is a paper report.

another nonsense talk....
united played 4-4-1-1. rooney was supposed to be the one tracking busquets. the general idea was that busquets starts barca's attack - stop busquets and the supply to xavi, iniesta, messi would be cut-off.

rooney failed to do his duty.....the same way he was supposed to mark pirlo in euro 2012 and he failed. SAF saw enough of that experiment and he used welbeck in that role against real madrid and rooney had to sit on the bench at old trafford. rooney lost us the game against barcelona in 2011.

3. Whether Brazil won less Copa or not has not taken away anything from my argument. The current Brazilian team were not the players who 'prosecuted' the last world cup or Copa America cup. But overall Brazil has won world cup than any country.

why did you bring it up when you knew brazil is poorer than argentina & uruguay in copa america? brazil winning the world cup more than any other is a moot point. they didn't win it in those years because they were kicking people off the park - they won it doing what spain are doing at the moment(samba football).

4.You said I am not a manager. Agreed. But are you one?

of course, i am one - i coach under-16 boys in my borough.

If Alex Song is in Barca which have Messi, Iniester, Alexis and Pedro, I don't see why he can't be in United.

another daft logic....
if valdes can keep for barca, then he must be better than van der sar at united or buffon at juventus!

this elampiro talks nonsense almost every time...

scholes + carrick won us the 2006/7 against a dogged jose mourinho side determined and prepped to win their 3rd league title. we had no hargreaves or anderson then.

as far as attacking football goes, the 2006/7 season was the best we have had in 30 years at least. united can never ever match the champagne football between august 2006 - jan 2007. it was simply breathtaking!

jennykadry: According to what I heard, not wanting to cause others to sin is one of them reasons why celestial churches wear same all white. Even deeper life women are getting married by the day, no matter dull a woman dresses, there is always a mans blokos breathing fast whilst admiring her.

it depends on the büttsize of the woman wearing the skinny jeans. some women(married or single) should never wear skinny jeans.

Harrybanty: i dont get it, on my laptop, i can browse, play music, play all types of games and so many other stuffs just for at least 100k. Then i would be dumb enough to use 70k to buy one ps4?

you will sell your laptop to buy a console if you ever get to play modern warfare on HDTV....

biolabee: ok.... well it seems im the old fashioned dude on this thread...
Seems this fantasy is a default one for women...

you are defly too old-fashioned.....
a man and a woman can be as bad each other. don't ever think a woman's thoughts can't be filthy because she's married. they are even more dangerous when married!

biolabee: the term conventional means common or usual... maybe becuase im male maybe the sisters can help us but when i hear 3some.. its usually 2 girls on a guy

what are you talking about? gangbanging has been a practise in nigeria before i was conceived. 2 or more men with a babe is very very common.

Remember GOGA - Girl on Girl Action?, never heard of MOMA - Man on Man Action
That is anoda whole level of pervesion

in the 3some this babe is after, she wants to be the focus of the 2 men.

If she acts on her fantasy... she is a sex deviant

look at you - what if she tells her husband to invite another man for the do! is that sex deviance?

i actually believe naija women can write such after receiving "i love you" text message from their spouses. most of them have lost touch with their romantic side.

biolabee: bro.. u are getting it wrong
In conventional terms a 3zome is 1 guy banging 2 chicks... this her own is very exclusive..// dony u get?

3some has no conventional definition other than 3 people having sëx. it could be MFM or FMF.

exactly my point...something core runzers only fdo with cold hard cash.. is what this minted bride wants to do?..
interesting

you are just being sentimental....
forget the facade - the imagination & fantasies of some chics would give you a run for your money. they are humans too and different factors could have led to these thoughts. it does not necessarily mean she's a sex deviant!

Bawss1: Meanwhile did anyone notice that no release date was given for Japan the home of Sony?

they are probably playing on it as we speak.....

dayokanu: But despite that the West being a womans world Western women too are still more likely to forgive infidelity than Western men

according to the last survey i read.....

the research found that more than 6 in 10 women would forgive two relationship ‘errors’ – which include infidelity, excessive flirtatious behaviour or romantic neglect. they would, however, dump their man after three.

british women are clearly prepared to forgive their partner's indiscretions as long as they are not repeated ad infinitum.

men in the UK get 3 chances and if they step over the line beyond that then they can kiss goodbye to their relationship.

men are not nearly as forgiving as women in the UK. only little over 1 in 10 british males admit they would attempt to carry on if their partner had been unfaithful.

biolabee: @coogar... that is a small percentage that are open to anything and everthinh...remember i used the word core runs girls. Theres still a sixeable proportion who live normal lives though they r runs too

i am sure core runz girls care more about the money than the act itself. 3some is very prevalent even in naija universities amongst regular babes that are not runz girls. if she's got a huge appetite for sex, it's natural for her to be that inclined.

personally, i don't see anything wrong with this woman.

[quote author=baby_123]hmmm, coogar. Tell us something. You are quite knowledgeable about this thing.[/quote]i am conversant with my environment, are you?

biolabee: @coogar, that is the main issue.. even core runz girls dont like this ish, and its a newly minted bride that is breeding these thoughts,,... could be dangerous....

that's not true....
core runs girls are open to everything - many is the name of the game. many of them have had more than one man in bed at different times. as long as the men meet their asking price, everyone is happy!

nateevs: Roman has had to pay less into Chelsea year by year. The chances of him walking are getting slimmer by the second.

he cannot even walk - he loves the game!

A point I have criticized many times before myself. However, this discussion is about Chelsea's perceived sustainability.

if they don't draw a masterplan to increase the revenue, the question of sustainability would always hang in the air. chelsea are so used to buying quality players.

Malouda, Ferreira, Kalou, Drogba, Anelka. All high earners off the wage bill. I do not think Oscar earns more than £40k as we speak.

we shall revisit this when 12/13 report comes out....

But they did break even last year. I agree the stadium is too small. If things had worked out fine, Roman would have been building something fancy over Battersea Power Station. It would happen, in about 3 years I suppose.

let's hope so....

[quote author=A-town]I mentioned UK and not europe. Your numbers only confirmed my assertion. Population or not, they sell more in the US. End of discussion[/quote]no they don't - not at the rate the US pay for these consoles anyways. 1 out of every 12 people in the UK has a PS3 console. 1 out of every 22 people in the US does. this is common sense - there's more awareness in the UK, Europe than in the US. it's a travesty they still have to pay more and wait 2 weeks for the console to launch.

biolabee: im surprised u guys dont see an issue with this.... a virgin,,, a newly-minted bride...

No wonder there is focusing on the aprokoish friend since having a 3some is no biggie...

hmmmm

her virginity does not necessarily mean her heart was pure when she was single. some girls remained virgins because they never had the opportunity to havë sex, not because they didn't want it. some wanted sex but they were too unattractive to get a willing partner to do the deed.

[quote author=A-town]eh, they make most of their money from America. Also, the engineering is split between the US and Japanese offices. Their UK offices are mere showrooms.
This is business. You cater to your number one customers first. THe amount of units sold in America will probably be 1000000 times the amount sold in the UK[/quote]you are talking nonsense.....
they make majority of their sales in europe. only 13.5 million units of PS3 was sold in the US with their 300 million population. 5 million PS3 units were sold in the UK(60 million population) and 30 million units were sold in europe as a whole.

debosky: Isn't this the same Ibime that was recommending Carlos Cuellar who nearly relegated Sunderland as Arsenal's solution in Central Defence - in the same season that Arsenal's defence was better than Chelski's and United's in the league?

Ibime wouldn't know a good defender if the guy was sitting on his anvil-shaped head.

ibime is an albino - he sees less in the daytime. the best you can get from ibime is when the sun sets. ibime's stüpidity is compounded by the fact that he does not even know the market for clubs like chelsea, barcelona, man utd, arsenal, etc is different from the lower-tier clubs.

the moment chelsea make enquiries about okore, his price would jump from £4m to £21m. the agents are not silly, they know chelsea have the money and they would squeeze chelsea till they pay up. if chelsea are keen about the defender, they would pay cos the money is nothing to roman.

nateevs: Actually, yours is a historical way of looking at the issue. The discussion is about the future hence the statements, if Romans walks Chelsea will die.

chelsea won't die if roman walks, another rich arab would just take over and normal services would resume. chelsea's location is very attractive!

The more important thing is what happened since the years Chelsea had Roman's input and I am sorry to disappoint folks, it's actually turned out good.

but it has cost more than £1 billion - way more than the projections predicted. by now, chelsea should have been dominant in england and winning the title every season but they have only won the league once in the last 7 years.

Chelsea made a profit in the last financial year. This year we've spent far less in transfer fees and wage bill is less. There's likely to be increased commercial revenue. Also TV money is going up from the £54m earned in 2012/13.

how's wage bill less with hazard, oscar, torres, etc? you also added jose to the crew? can't wait to see 12/13's financial statement.

Regarding stadium, there's a difference between full attendance and unsold season tickets. You cannot get a Chelsea season ticket as we speak.

chelsea cannot break even with that stadium - they need a bigger stadium. 40,000 is too small for chelsea's calibre. there are more than 5 million chelsea fans in the UK so it's obvious there would be a waiting list of season tickets.

9ineGames: A True Gamer Wont Be Fixed To one Console ..The best way to enjoy Video Games is to have everything Of Both Worlds (XboxOne and Ps4)

and turn your living room into an arcade? sony is the truth, the life and the way. comparing x-box to sony is like comparing blackberry to iphone.

2kass: Why not ask your s1lly axs Govt how much it charges on import duties!!! You sound uneducated

you are a fool - what has it got to do with import duties? sony is a japanese product. why should america be paying way less than the brits? this is how you uneducated fools from a village just come online to spew nonsense!!!

Nonso23: Guess its SONY'S way of paying back... And also they get to make more money cos the wait makes a lot of brits order from the USA. That way they bypass custom duties as it's shifted to the person ordering the product and MORE PROFIT FOR SONY.... Pretty wicked Scheme.

they are all rogues - until someone takes them to court, this wicked scheme would continue. someone took apple to court in 2008 and the european commission forced apple to reduce their prices in the UK itunes store - investigation had revealed UK was paying more than 10% than the other european countries - and apple agreed to reduce it!

@ nateevs,

that's an odd way to look at it. if roman didn't pay up 2 years ago, the last financial current you are talking about wouldn't be debt-free. it's a ripple effect! there's no way chelsea can sustain operating cost with 40,000 stadium capacity that is never sold-out! the wages of your players are astronomical and you have hired 10 managers in 10 seasons - having to pay their severance fees for sacking them!!!

1025: mr.ratio, are you ready for the up coming war? if anyone hears you analyse the wealth of others now, that one will think that you have what it takes to make money or even manage money. your type is always good on internet.
nonsense panadol.

oloshious fellow.....
at least, i am still confident i can put you in my cage and feed you till you die. obnoxious fool, your IQ is inversely proportional to your age. the older you grow, the dumber you become. come to OT upper monday, your first defeat of the season awaits you.

Nonso23: Reason is cos the tax on custom duties imposed on SONY by the UK is so high that they will barely make out profit if they sell at standard exchange rate unlike the Free Market USA.... SONY'S GOT TO MAKE SOME MONEY U KNOW... *winks* PS4=COD, FIFA14, NFS... Hehehe*evil grin*

i thought sony would already make money by the number of unit they would sell in the UK anyways - so why shaft the brits of their hard-earned money? it's even better this year. PS3 was awful in 2006. £500 in the UK, $550 in the US and UK waited for 4 months after it launched in the US.

nateevs: As at the last financial statements, it is absolutely incorrect.

incorrect?
if roman didn't pay up chelsea's debt some 2 years ago, would chelsea be able to sustain operating cost? how much do chelsea make in revenue? what's the player wage/turnover ratio?

otumfour: looking @ the exchange rate, only a fhool wud buy the PS4 from the UK.

Buying mines from tha States

then you have to worry about adaptors or step/up & step/down transformers. the stress is not worth my while. besides, some evil game developers still code their games in zones. some PS3 games will not play on your console if you buy out of your country.

[quote author=Okija_juju]First of all.

Remember that in the U.S & Canada, 399 U$D does not include sales tax, HST and all other such hidden charges, while in the U.K the shelf price is all inclusive.. So that U.S 399 U$D price tag is gonna look more like 450 U$D by the time you approach the check-out counter..

[/quote]that's what they keep telling us but it still falls short. £350 is way more than $450 in the exchange market. the sales tax is not more than 7% albeit each state determines their own sales tax. having to wait 2 weeks and then still pay more than our counterparts in america is just unfair.

as of today, £350 = $545, $450 = £289.

europe is always getting screwed by this giant companies. why do we have to wait 2 weeks after the launch in america to get the new console in the UK?

also in what planet is £349 = $399? the minister of trade in the UK is an arsëhole. if sony cannot sell at the normal exchange rate, they can shove their console up their arsë.

2 weeks wait and then paying way over the odds than the americans. this is surely a piss-take!!

Ibime: Now on what basis would anyone say Sturridge should ride bench for Torres in 2012 as you did. Was that based on 2009 prices?

torres was better than sturridge in 2012......are you a fool? did torres not score 20+ goals for chelsea last season?

Ujujoan: What's 'crazy' about fantasizing about a three.some

don't mind them, ujujoan - wait till they hear yours that you want a foürsome with baba suwe, mr ibu and amaechi munagor.

Ibime: Dat Jores Okore is some player

I don't know what nonsense Wenger was chatting that he didn't see players on market that can improve his team.

I woulda personally sold David Luiz to Barca for £30m, then carry £4m to cop that kid.

michu was also valued at £2m when chelsea spent £20m excess in buying mata, oscar and hazard. you cannot tell which player would deliver what - these managers just gamble most of the time.

chichi234: i have a friend who confided in me her fantasy! she is a married woman oooo. but she has a crazy fantasy to sleep with two men at this same time! the funny thing is that her husband married her a virgin. she believes her husband is good even though he is the only one she has slept with but she just wanna f@ck 2 men at a time. she needs deliverance!!

need to add that shes 23yrs old

she's perfectly normal - it's a fantasy, it does not mean she wants to necessarily carry it out. i have heard plenty of weird fantasies from women - most even fantasise to be räped by a very cute guy. it's nothing to worry about - it's just daydreams. only yesterday, i fantasised about screwing rihanna @ the national stadium in abuja.

elampiro: 1. This your claim that Rooney was asked to track back is funny. Rooney naturally tracks back. So, he doesn't even need to be told. He did it on the night. No one has evidence that SAF even gave this instruction. Rooney was the only forward man who made his presence felt on the night.

he did not track back on the night - why do you like arguing? ferguson was showed telling rooney to mark busquets tighter. he was even telling rooney "i am the boss, do as you are told"

2. Brazil has won world cup and Copa America more than any country. The team that failed to make an impact in the last world cup is different from the new team now. This team is tough, probing, fast, forceful and creative.

argentina 14-8 brazil(copa america)
you really don't know your football. even uruguay have won the copa america 14 times as well.

3. This argument has unnecessarily digressed to far. It was all about who should fit our midfield to fix the current problem of opponents dominating us. Except we go back to the basics of this argument, I don't think I will like to continue with this topic. The problem I see in our midfield is that of allowing opponents to cruise around virtually unchallenged in the midfield. I highly recommend a player like Song who can probe and frustrate those opposition moves while being able to firmly utilize the ball to the benefit of our attacking build up.

this is why you are not a manager. only a lunatic would put alex song in united's midfield. we have the best attack and the best pair of wingers in the league. adding a midfielder that would roam is not necessary - this is why moyes is going for fellaini. he wanted cesc before to replace rooney. now that rooney is not leaving, fellaini is a better bet.

SailorXY: Naaah its normal! Of course its not Man Utd on the pitch so the ref probably made some mistakes

we would sodomise these lots - 2 bland games, i am yet to see the mourinho factor. van persie/rooney cannot wait to piss on these lots. 3 easy points for man utd next monday.
