dademola: now u've started yarning balls, as expected. I talkd about WELL-DOCUMENTED WEAKNESSES, u're telling me about VDS diving to his left and right blahblahblah bullshit. Can u compare ur so-called weakness in VDS, to DDG'S well knwn issue of lack of confidence,as wel as his being timid??

de gea is better than vds.....it's not even debatable. if we had the formidable midfield/defence of 07-09 in front of de gea, we would be impregnable!

Do u fink if VDS was timid, and lackd confidence, he'd turn out d legend he was?? Wich worldclass gk wld b worldclass, if he was timid?? Hw can anybody, who claims to understand football so much, downplay d importance of a gk being confident??

you are talking out of your arsë again? de gea has no confidence? where's this coming from? if he's not confident he would remain in athletico madrid. if he lacks
confidence, he wouldn't be the man of the match in bernebau. you don't know the meaning of confidence!

U alws claim u backup ur facts wif figures, i'm still waiting for d ones butressing ur claims dt hart and cech hav lost der reflexes. Why is it dt i hav d feeling dt u alws seem incapacitated and outta sorts wen analysing soccer properly, wen u dnt hav any scavenged stats(dt usually hav little or no significance) to backup ur usually ridiculous claims??

save/shot ratio is a key indicator of reflexes and agility! stats are facts! i have stopped making analysis on the public opinion. half of them are misguided. statistics are the only facts in any football analysis. without it, you are pissing in the wind.

Hart spilled in munich blahblahblah!! Wot an amateurish way to argue!! Smh. As u'd hav observed, i'm not interested in write-ups and stats.. Wot i'm more interested in, is ur ability to interprete to a reasonable level, wot u claim to watch week in week out. U claim DDG is a target for antagonistic journalists, cos he's replacing a legend like VDS, and cos he plays for man utd!!choi!!!! Smh for u mehn. Wen ronaldo comot, and man utd replaced him wif valencia, y didnt d media scrutinize valencia's evry move dt season?? Or r u sayn dt VDS was bigger dan ronaldo??

valencia did not cost as much as de gea. de gea is the most expensive goalkeeper in the history of the premier league. comparing valencia to de gea already tells me you lack the tactical nous to engage in the art of football punditry. de gea and torres get criticised because of their price-tag and they are easy targets for the media!

[quote author=Larry-Sun]Look closely, my friend. [/quote]yeah - i saw some few glitches......
i missed them when i was reading at first! ishilove could have been responsible for them though.

[quote author=Larry-Sun]As much as I'm impressed by the writer's explanation of his post, I still got a jolt out of realising that the persona with whom I fancy his literary gift was making such spelling and grammatical shortcomings.[/quote]please list them - there's a difference between common typos and grammatical ineptitude.

dademola: nawa for u oo. Why on earth wld u bring messi into dis??hw can u compare d criterion for outfield playas to GKs?? Isnt it obvious dt a particular strength of a gk can neva eva cover up for him, if he has a well documented weakness??if i may ask, isnt it common knowledge dt one of d basic essential qualities of a worlclass gk is confidence? Does DDG hav dis?? Pls dnt trivialize dis matter. U claim hart and cech's reflexes hav regressed. D nxt tin u'd say is dt because DDG has made more reflex saves abi?? Ehen, proffessor of stats, pls i nid some statistics frm u to butress dis claim of urs, sir.(i'm actually interested in hw u'd qualify and quantify reflex saves)

what are you talking about? goalkeepers and outfield players are the same in terms of strengths and weaknesses! every goalkeeper has a weakness. van der sar has a unique weakness in diving to his left! he often concedes every shot aimed to his left hand side.

all the penalty kicks planted by chelsea players on van der sar's left in 2008 champions league final went in - the only player that chose to go right(anelka) missed his pen. etoo's goal in 2009 champions league was to van der sar's left. 2 of the goals in the 2011 final(villa and pedro) were to van der sar's left!

who doesn't have a weakness? the difference is how the media feast on it. joe hart spills the ball as much as de gea does. all the goals hart conceded against bayern in munich were as a result of spillage. if dayokanu finds his way here, he would lecture you about it but the media won't highlight it, they would blame the defenders for reacting late instead of blaming hart for spilling!

elampiro: The articles are reports on United matches up to Totteham game.

those ones are witchhunts!
de gea turned things around when lindegaard was dropped after conceding 3 goals against reading in the first half of a match. since then, de gea has shaken down his errors and has caught up with his rivals and he's even overtaken them.

elampiro: Don't bother about this Coogar guy, he is someone who wants to have the last say. They have heard our arguments, we have heard theirs, let everyone keep his stands.

your argument defies logic!
charts, graphs, stats that are up to date have been produced and yet you still want to argue. i can give you an article written yesterday putting de gea as the best goalkeeper in the league as things stand - your claim to de gea's poor handling date as far back as last year. so tell me, who is pissing in the wind?

dayokanu: Has Vermalean ever played LB for Arsenal? Van Buyten isnt bayerns top CB yet he played so tape it shut

he hasn't in the knock-out stage in elite europe!

We do. We needed to keep them sharp for the rest of the season

keep who sharp?

The bottom line is to qualify Thats our aim from the time the draw was made. We didnt intend to go break the record we just wanted to qualify and Qualify we did sending the last English hope packing. After 180mins Barca qualified, After 180min Bayern qualified, After 180 Arsenal was knocked out. I thought that was plain enough for anyone to see?

barcelona won, bayern lost - the analogy is daft!

The same time it would take these Generation of English NT players to play a Semi final for the 3 lions The youngest German player Muller has played more semi finals for Germany than the oldest active English man has done for his NT

muller didnt win anything for germany nor has he won for bayern!
on the top of my head, terry, lampard, ashley cole, gary cahill, rio, carrick, rooney, brown, hargreaves, gerrard, etc have all won a title in the continent. tell us one title any player in this generation of germans have won either for the club or the country?

dayokanu: This is not the first time Vermalean is playing as a LB for Arsenal either. He actually plays as a LB for his National team. So this argument of natural position is silly regarding vermalean

bayern did not play against belgium. they played against arsenal where gibbs is arsenal's top left back.

Why didnt we play our reservers? Those were the available team we deemed appropriate for the game We already did the work in the first leg we were just coasting at home Just doing enough to qualify

what a tool!
teams don't play their strongest team in a red herring game.

You could have taken the bet if you have the balls to.
All bayern needed was to qualify, We did that part of the job in the first leg and just needed to see the game out

qualifying while losing scandalously at home? hahahahaha
allianz arena has been touted as the safest fortress in europe and yet arsenal breached it with 2 i replied goals. even when arsenal scored in the 3rd minute, dayomumu said bendtner did the same at nou camp(implying bayern would still win the game). so how did your analogy with barcelona to after 90 mins?

when will this generation of germans win a continental cup? does it not shame you that players like o'shea, brown, etc have won the champions league and yet lahm and schweini haven't won it?

dademola: @cooger,u seem to 4gt dt DDG's of arial weakness is an open secret, wich opponents wld alws wanna exploit at d slightest opportunity. Even if cech and hart hav der own weaknesses, are dey as obvious as DDG's?? Do d above gk's fall into d category of 'learning and adapting GKs', like DDG??

messi's inability to use the right foot is a weakness that defenders often use to nullify him. it doesn't take away his greatness. de gea is miles ahead of cech/hart every day of the week. cech and hart have no reflex anymore - they have regressed quite badly. de gea's mistakes are magnified because of his price-tag and because he plays for man utd(coming in to wear the shoes of the great van der sar)!!!

dayokanu: First Leg Van Buyten is not a Bayern regular but was played What do you have to say to that?

stop arguing like a dork - it's not about who is regular or who isn't - van buyten still played in his natural position. if he's not a regular, why did he start for bayern? it's like saying walcott is not a regular striker for arsenal! is this the first time van buyten has played as a centre-half for bayern? this is like playing terry in ashley cole's position or rio in evra's position.

Every sensible analyst knew the game ended after the first leg. Who has ever come back from conceding 3 goals at home in CL history

there's always a first time, you dolt!
game is a formalty and yet you started your strongest possible team available. why didnt you play your reserves?

The game last night was a formality its for the fun of it.
When it mattered first leg we battered them at home

shut up - if it was formalty you wouldn't claim bayern would beat arsenal by a 2-goal-margin. if it was formalty, neuer wouldn't resort to gamesmanship by ovary-reacting with the ball after koscielny räped him!

dademola: Mr cooger, u claim de gea has bin d overall best gk so far dis season, rememba?? Frm ur posts, u've bin insinuating dt DDG has bin d best gk frm d start of dis season. Yeah,suarez and bale are contenders for PFA, SO IS DE GEA IN D GK department, due to his improved performances recently. U say u'd choose DDG over hart or cech in a UCL final. Choi!! Nawa oo. Isnt it well knwn dt fergie himself says DDG is still learning?? U kip on uploading errors of oda kipas. Wen DDG was spilling shots into d path of unrushing strikers week n week out nko?? Y shud u now say he is d best in d league, due to sme superficial stats dt WLD NEVER EVER GIVE D TRUE PICTURE OF THINGS?? I still hav oda questions for u oo

yes he has been!
cumulatively, he has made more saves per shots, his current streak of clean sheets in the league, etc. we have provided charts, stats and graphs proving all these while all you have are articles in the early parts of the season.

dayokanu: When the two sides played their best 11. We mauled them 3-1 at home

Yesterdays was a novelty match which no one took serious.

The tie ended 3 weeks ago

stop talking out of your arsë.....
arsenal were not full-strength in the first leg. vermaelen isn't a left back! if they had gibbs in the first leg, you wouldn't have beaten them 3-1. the tie did not end in the first leg. all arsenal had to do was score 3 at the allianz arena and they would have done so without a cheating line assistant. walcott wasn't offside!

Kandiiikane: I know this is very scarces these days but I pray God, let me find a good, caring, hardworking, doesn't settle for less, who would love me with all my bad habits, who is able to take care of me all night long, Godfearing, who is ready to build a solid foundation with me for our future family to be able to enjoy dreams unimaginable, very very very handsome man to call my husband or partner before I reach menopause 25.

Amen!

what are you going to give him in return? mammary glands and a fat cameltoe?

montelik: It always saddens me when I see cases like Rio's which are often similar to "battered woman syndrome". After all that has occurred between Rio, the FA and Hodgson one would think he wouldn't run back for more punishment. But if he refuses to wise up and instead be led by money driven agents, sponsors and advisers then he deserves what he will eventually get.

their union is as abusive as chris brown and rihanna. despite the humiliation rio has suffered in the hands of the fa and england managers, he still runs back into the relationship.

dademola: wich yeye light?? U protagonists of de gea hav failed to address d issue of de gea been dropped for lindergaard in d early part of d season. Smeone even insinuated dt de gea was dropped cos he was injured. Anoda person claimed ts cos man utd hav a big squad. Nawa oo. Pls lets stop decieving ourselves. For starters, I hav a question for u guys. Hw many superpowers in europe alternate Gks like we did in d early part of d season??

that is immaterial now.......
bale and suarez weren't contenders as the best players this season even as at december, but now they are a shoe-in for it. what de gea suffered or endured in the early part of the season has no bearing on his present form. the argument is - de gea is currently the best goalkeeper in the premier league. it might change to al-habsi next weekend but for now, de gea na number one!

Regiblinkz: grammar!!!go and teach him...#over sabi dey do u

should i give you his twitter handle so you can go beg recharge cards from him like vagrants like you normally do to these fake celebrities? you are a total embarrassment to formal education.

Regiblinkz: you are a typical nigerian hypocrite who's no better than the person you're criticising..#fO.olish f.ool

stop embarrassing yourself in public.....
i made an observation and you started acting like a diva by ovary-reacting! jim iyke with all his exposure still dresses like an agbero. he should borrow a leaf from RMD, van vicker, ramsey nouah or even uti.

Regiblinkz: looking at your profile I think I know just how retarded you are...bush boy wey dey form swagger

shut up, you homoerotic swine!
if you don't have anything to do, find a broom + a large warehouse and sleep till dusk.

Regiblinkz: since you started dressing better than iyke how has your seriously dilapidated life changed?...hating on people for no reason will only shorten your life sir...(I think you're violently Idiotic)

how do you know your life is dilapidated, you odious swine!
mumu - because jim iyke sponsors your education does not mean you should be sucking his cöck. i don't hate jim iyke but the negro should learn how to dress and be a good example of a nigerian ambassador. all these years of exposure should be having an impact in his dress sense and his general attitude.

dayokanu: We are not superior yet we are in the quarter finals and you are knocked out as usual.

No wonder you be GAYYner. GAYYners are dolts they cant even think

but you have to agree with dipo+ that arsenal matched bayern with a team that cost a fraction less. yes, bayern qualified but you cannot say arsenal were sodomised in the tie.

girls are calmer, good listeners, less likely to be playful which means longer attention span.

i agree girls are more intelligent.......

Regiblinkz: another he goat on rampage...do ƔφU̶̲̥̅̊ dress better than him?..mumu

i dress better than a swine like you and jim iyke better. seeing that you lived 97% of your lifetime in a village, it's not hard to see you lack dress sense. anuofia!

LushGreenz: You sloppy-faced hater,what if he's got a pair of foot-liners on Which to me is appropriate in a tropicalized region like Nigeria.

you are a disgrace to formal education!
foot-liners in a dress shoe combinining with a dress shirt and a blazer? hahahahaha - the hazards of western civilization.

dademola: ferdinand's recall to d 3 lions is bad news oo. I'm sure fergie wld hav a harsh word or 2 for d F.A

rio has been the best english centre back for about 18 months now - you cannot keep him down for long cos his form has been brilliant particularly this season. he shouldn't have been left out of euro 2012 squad but this is the english fa - they are full of shyte!

Tgirl4real: Hehehe...

Gerraway Coogar, u are just being mean!

Actually, I already got my judges sorted out. All I need is debaters.

wait another 3 months for the council of women to present competent debaters......another 3 months for the cabal to complete the verification of the contestants. hopefully by christmas, this debate would kick off.

kulyie: Wow such a sleek,elegant and cosmopolitan dude.i like his aura,dress sense and personae save for the knicker he wore for the amva,he would have been gorgeous if it was a full length trousers with that blazers,asides that he has taste.ill watch his reality show though to see what he has to offer

jim iyke and dress sense should not be in the same sentence.
dress sense? are you kidding me? there he goes again in that picture with no socks and dress shoes. yeah - that's dress sense!

Fhemmmy: As an application, it is your duty to find a way to get to where the job is and not the employer to make provision for the applicatant . . . Also, how many millions would they have to pay out before giving jobs to the ONE

oil/gas companies operating in nigeria have been doing this for ages. why do you want to change their ethic code?

honey001: Broda, make I get recharge card I beg

what is a recharge card?

Idowuogbo: Lmao! Voicemail!
Try again on the 8th of April.

april 8 that would soon become july 4
this woman is broke - she cannot cough out that money and she's buying time to run away. i won't be surprised if she prints her own obituary before april 8.

Fhemmmy: So you mean it is just a means of dolling out money and siphoning more?

if you ask applicants to come for interview in portharcourt, how would the lagos based or the sokoto-based ones get there when they are unemployed?

Fhemmmy: Any reason behind that, so people now get paid just to attend interviews?

transport allowance - most oil/gas companies in nigeria pay transport allowance. i know chevron does this on the regular on the day of the test. NNPC delayed payments for 2 years for reasons best known to them but sanity finally prevailed.

Tstark: No wonder you didn't get the job

there was no job in the first place - NNPC vacancy was a hoax!

Fhemmmy: Please explain what this means, are they paying people to attend interview with them?

paying people for the interview we had 2 yrs ago.

N35,000 (confirmed)
may heaven bless NNPC. enough gulder and peppersoup to watch chelsea tonight.

Tgirl4real: Hehehehe...

Let d naija men take over na. It's not a gender based debate.

I know u pulled out cos we had only women volunteering.

i pulled out because i knew the project would never take off. naija women? 3 months to deliberate on contestants, another 3 months to verify the panel of judges. on the day of the debate, you can count people like sisikill, ileobatojo, taryour, busybody, jennykadry, chaircover, etc to be late or do a "no show" cos they are busy applying make-up before submitting their write-ups.
