Ibime: What a very foolish analogy.

If you bothered to check, Lampard was not one of two defensive midfielders in that game, rather he was in the no10 position behind the striker and scored and assisted in that game, and by far Chelsea MOTM. Direct your question to the two deeper lying midfielders (Ramires + Mikel) as to how they conceded 5 goals.

One thing is for sure, you can go back in history and pull up any game (false use of stats), but the record shows Lamps is consistently good whilst Mikel/Ramires are consistently poor. What has Chelsea achieved in terms of league consistency since Ramires joined in 2010? The only time we finished 2nd was when he got dropped in Lotti's last season. Mikel? pffft. 6 years and cannot convince anyone.

Well ya'll keep chatting. One thing is sure, the midfield is Lampards going forward after Mikel and Ramires' massive failure during his absence. Ramires will be sent back to the wing, whilst Mikel would play second fiddle to Luiz if he proves himself.

jidegirl12: Monthly salary plus her own salary? It's a biggie IMO.....I don't oppose giving her token but she should do something too...

Next thing you will hear is I'm an independent woman or what a man can do blah blah

smartmom: I had this heated argument with a friend when she came griping of a neigbour who conceived after 3 months after delivery. Our bone of contention is when is the appropriate time? she thinks as early as the new mother is comfortable to resume 'duty' I think not! can we educate new mothers here please?

martin123: Please, house I need your view on this matter. Just got married, my wife and I both work, and I advice my wife to spend her salary on her up keep, while I take care of every other bill ( feeding, light, security house rent e t c), but she is insisting that I give her monthly allowance from my salary. What do I do?? Because, this is beginning to get to me. Please I need advice from the matured minds

debosky: Sure, but compare RVP's price with the £3m spent on Michu or what Newcastle paid for Demba Ba and then you'll see that £24m isn't peanuts.

Johnpaul88: Messi have nothing more to prove to anybody. The world have seen all they need to see. As for Ronaldo, he still need to jungate from one league to another in order to see If he can get another shot at being the best again. Sadly this may be his last chance. Such is the unfortunate travail he must contend with when he has Messi around and kicking.
I think that preety answers you.

nateevs: Certainly not absent when we were hammered 4-0 as well by AM. And yes also present in the final of the CWC.

Johnpaul88: Coogar,
your argument about Messi not performing for country and getting enormous help from Xavi and Iniesta, is old fashioned. I 've decided not to disspate my energy on it again.

Will you honestly believe that Messi, a 3 time world best,will get the same treatment as Ronaldo a one timer were they to play in the epl at the same time ? The world is in absolute awe of only one player and that 's not Ronaldo.

afam4eva: The La Liga is the highest point that one could get in his career. It's like leaving "Chinedu oil and gas" to "Chevron."

ddippset: If messi c8nt score 40 in the epl nd ron8ldo did then why isn't ron8ldo scoring 100 go8ls in l8 lig8? 8fter 8ll ron8ldo is the most 8ssisted pl8yer in l8 lig8, with the m8drid superst8rs ozil de m8ri8 8lonso k8k8 nd co feeding him 8ll d8y.

Johnpaul88: You say this because you does not understand what it means to have a 3 - time world best player who is still the undisputed favourite to win a fourth, the best goal scorer the world have ever seen. Apart from Christiano Ronaldo, Epl have consistently churned out mediocre players who cannot compete for the best player award . For these defenders you mentioned ,to pocket them does not mean they 'll do same to the world best player.

Johnpaul88: I like Shawcross. He 's spirited and always in the right position. I'll like him in Barca.

Messi being protected by Referees? He 's earned the right. He'll get it anywhere including the epl. You wouldn't allow the best player in the world to suffer in the match you officiate.

That's the spirit. And besides, who says Messi will play in the Epl? I think Serie A is more prestigious. The honour in playing for the likes of Juventus or Milan cannot compare to playing for any side in the epl, the money notwithstanding.
But Messi will finish career with us . No team is better!

debosky: A good deal, but not deal of the century - for all you know he could get crocked next week and be out for the season.

£24m for a 29 year old with 1 year on his contract remains a very good deal for AFC.

goddyjay: MESSI FANS ARE ANGRY

debosky: £24m for a 29 year old who has only had an 18 month injury free period in an 8 year period with one year left on his contract? Deal of the century?

Johnpaul88: My only regret with spanish club and league is that the teams are poor and cannot meet some lofty targets. They cannot attract some rich business men like their Epl counterparts do. Almost all epl teams have rich investors. That is why i would not agree that it is what they get from the league that sustains them and make the like of crappy sunderland to release £14M to sign Johnson from city. If the Spanish league can attract as much investor as the epl do, sky will be their limit.

To whom much is given, much is expected. But to epl teams,
they constantly spurt out mediocre performances that does not justify their wealth.

Johnpaul88: Please Mr. Coogar;
can you get me the real figures these teams that get promoted to the epl are paid and/or stays in the epl are paid at the end of the season compared to other clubs in other leagues like say La liga. Get the figures to support this your theory that they all fight for survival much less in other leagues because the pay in the epl is enormous.

Johnpaul88: Me cöcksücker? you gotta be kidding me. But if anybody was lectured here, it is certainly not Dayokanu.

For the umpteenth time ,goals scored in the qualifiers of any international competition including UEFA champions league are not included in the scorers goals if he manages other goals when the competition starts properly. Playoff are qualifiers and thus not counted.

Johnpaul88: I agree the strength of the league are fairly distributed but sadly the level at which all the Epl clubs are operating are just average. The top teams are not examplary with the way they play. The tactics are fairly the same with all.

The only club that wants to be unique and Spanish- like is Swansea and you can agree that almost all the clubs are struggling big time to adapt to their style. Man united will prefer to play Arsenal than to play Swansea .

In Spain, almost all the clubs except may be Real Madrid, play like Swansea. So by implication, all Epl club will struggle to play them. And Michu has triumphed in that set up. Add more quality to this Swansea side and you get a Barcelona.

To be flank, i do not enjoy watching Epl games because of lack of quality. I only watch City games because they are a side i support. With others you get nothing but high ball and waiting for set pieces including goal kicks as real goal scoring opportunities.

dayokanu: You are a tool, So a goal scored in the qualifiers is the same as the competition?

If they ask you who was the top scorer in Euro 2012, We would count and add the goals scored in the Euro 2012 qualifiers?

Or isnt it UEFA who organize the qualifier and the EURO cup?
The game vs ZTE was a CL QUALIFIER game mumu

Johnpaul88: Dayokanu is the real deal! See how he coolly sent off this foulmouthed Coogar. He knew he was always going to fail in the argument . He just wanted to put up a fight with his characteristic name calling.

dayokanu: The goal scored vs ZTE is not in the UEFA champions league it was scored in the qualifiers and never is it counted together

Only an idiot would count the goals scored in Playoff games

Ask UEFA how manu goals Ruud scored in the Champions league in 2003

dayokanu: UEFA doesnt know who scored what in their competition again Its wikipedia that knows?

If you want to ask the age of a child should you ask the father or wikipedia?

Its too early in the year to be disgracing yourself GUFFANTI

dayokanu: Guffanti

You don start again and its barely 24hrs in 2013

Nistelrooy scored 12 goals in 2002/2003 Champions league this is the champions league and not on your Play Station

This is from UEFA website

http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2002/statistics/index.html

dayokanu: Lionel Messi scored 14 goals a record in Last years CL which he didnt play any La Liga side.

So if he can break Champions eague record why wont he break EPL record

dayokanu: Does Arsenal play in La Liga? How does messi not scoring vs Chelsea affect the fact that he would obliterate any league in the world

dayokanu: And how many goals has messi scored vs Arsenal who play in the same EPL

Purist: Sexiest moment of the match

goddyjay: I SOMETIMES LOOK AT LEO'S PERFORMANCE AGAINST TEAMS LIKE ESPANYOL,GETAFE,REAL ZARAGOZA E.T.C AND I ASK MYSELF THIS QUESTION, CAN MESSI REALLY SCORE THE WAY IN DOES IN SPANISH LALIGA IN THE EPL? HAT TRICKS OR BRACES AGAINST UNITED,ARSENAL,WESTBROM,EVERTON,STOKE,CHELSEA. FORGET THAT HE DOES THAT IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE (ONCE IN A WHILE) IN MY OWN OPINION I DOUBT IT ..... NO BEEF MESSI FANS !!!!!!!

VillageBoi: I saw the Figurine and absolutely hated it. Why? It was a brilliant film for the first two-thirds of it and then all of a sudden it badly fell off a cliff into some silly gibberish.
Thankfully, Mr Afolayan has so grown since then and his new film 'Phone Swap' is probably one of the best Nollywood films ever in terms of storytelling, production values and cross-over audience (I saw it at the British Film Institute and over half of the audience was caucasian and were laughing just as hard as we were). It is an amazing, amazing, must see, must own film!
