dayokanu: Samuel Peters was a Punch away from being World heavyweight Champions, TerryG is a track away from being Grammy winner,

you are so foolish! terry g close to winning a grammy is analogous to john terry slipping in the biggest stage of european football? is it still possible to replace your brains with a goat's brain?

RDM played 3 FA cup games won all 3. 100%

how did he get there? who won the earlier fixtures of the same competition?

RDM played 6 CL games won 4 lost 0 Won the CL with a 66% winning and 0% loss. If that were to be in Points that would be 14 points out of 18

who got chelsea out of the group stage before rdm took over?

Won a Double in 4 months Some coaches have not been able to win anything in 7yrs

very harsh to say he did it all by himself. a certain portugese manager got chelsea out of the group before rdm took over. how do we know for certain rdm would have qualified from the group. drawing 2-2 with juventus @ the bridge is a bad omen and a pointer that rdm might not have taken chelsea to the final if he had taken over @ the start of last season!

nateevs: In addendum to what you have said, Dayo is creating a scenario with the Avram Grant that defeats his own logic.
If Drogba had slipped and we lost the CL, would that have been the difference between RDM's tactical genius and stoopidity.

you must be very intelligent!
this is why i rate you far above the other chelsea geeks in here.......you are the most balanced chelsea poster - ibime has fallen from grace to the pits! rdm's tactical ingenuity was tied to drogba's kick or schweini's kick - an incident he couldn't have controlled!

i tell you - dayokanu has the brain power of a millipede!

Oh my god! I'm an ïdïöt! I've been arguing with a dipshidiot all these while. "Google is losing to iOS 6" rolling on the floor laugh my very well chiseled and magnificent and scrumptiously fruity ärsë off and pissing myself at the same time!!! Dude you're a hoot!

you are a consummate rétard!
5 million iPhone 5 sold as we speak - these 5 million people and still counting have automatically dumped google maps. add these 5 million to the owners of iPads and iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S who have all upgraded their os to the new iOS 6 then you know google must be feeling the pinch! these people are the ones that are going to make apple's maps better. by next week, it's safe to say google would have lost close to 50 million users of their maps! now that's a pinch!

dayokanu: What did Avram Grant win to be called a Genius? Can you enlighten me Maybe i didnt watch TV on the day Avram Grant won

You claimed that opions are divided on RDM which isnt a new thing in coaching Opinions are divided on almost all coaches in the world

grant was terry's slip away from winning the champions league - unless you can prove it was grant's tactical approach that made terry slip, he is as good as rdm if not better. he ran united close in the premier league(title was decided on the last day) and he also played extra time in the final......miles better than finishing 6th, living off the back of avb that qualified chelsea from the group stage and losing intentionally in the premier league and still getting outplayed in munich!

dayokanu: He intentionally finished 6th so he can win the CL. Yes

is he rafa benitez?

His last few games of the season he fielded weakened teams to conserve energy for the CL finals and it paid off. He won the trophy.

like losing 0-2 against newcastle @ stamford bridge with drogba on the pitch!

Whats the use of coaches who qualified for Europe year in year out and failed to win

in case you have a memory loss, it wasn't rdm that got chelsea out of the group stage!

RDM is a success. 2 trophies in 4 months says it all

villas-boas got chelsea to that stage before di matteo took over. had villas-boas crashed out like city and united did, i wonder what rdm would have won in 4 months - you argue sometimes like there's fluff in your brain cavity! lets see how rdm would cope without the foundation and the sweats of another manager!

dayokanu: Coincidentally these magic moments came against the best football club of this generation?

paul scholes @ 2008 against barcelona and he was as old as methuselah then!

Who need your magical moments vs Blackpool in Carling Cup, When you have done it vs Barcelona in The freaking CL semi finals

so any player who manages to cop an assist against barcelona is world class? lololol

This your new market women argument is worrisome, Were you raised in Bodija market?

better than your cattle market argument in agege!!

Had OBJ been born in Austria he would have been Mr Universe,
Had Mourinho gone to Catholic school he would have been a priest,
Had Wenger bought Garba Lawal he would have won Champions league,
Had MKO not drank the tea he would have been the next Pope
Had it been that Boko Haram struck A basket of Tomatoes would have been sold for 5naira.

this is why we call you a bumbling oaf! avram grant was john terry's slip away from winning the champions league! he had no coaching badge then. cup completions can be that shady. rafa benitez was finishing 33 points below league winners when he won the champions league with liverpool - he never won a league title in england

Chelsea won the Champions league even if they did by throwing the ball in the net. Live with that

there's no dispute they won the champions league but to say rdm is the greatest chelsea manager because of his feat is the reason why you are the most useless poster on this thread!

ednut1: my bro ws d 15th person to get it in birmingham, go spend 14 hours for queue yeye boy

tell him to sell it on ebay - he could get £900 for it!

dayokanu: Dont you think a coach who won the CL a tropy that eluded Jose Mourinho, Claudio Ranieri, Avram Grant, Guus Hindick, Felipe Scolari Carlo Ancelotti at the same Chelsea.

Go and see how Greeks celebrate Otto Rehaggel who won an unlikely Euro Cup for them

but this dude also finished 6th in the league - should that be discounted? chelsea were this close into missing the champs league! which of the managers you listed up there failed to play in elite europe?

dayokanu: At Nou Camp at 10 vs 11, I saw Lampard turning of a nickel and threading an inch perfect pass to Ramires to score the goal

even a broken clock would be correct twice a day! a player that gets that huge number of appearances would have his own moment of magic - it does not make him golden! paul scholes at 37 still sparkles once in a while same as ryan giggs -

At Stamford Bridge vs Barca I saw the impeccable pass that released Ramires for the Chelsea goal.

if you play maradona in the middle of the park 45 times in a season, i am sure he would provide at least 10 magical moments to get his team victories! you are barely scratching the surface here!

I guess you were sleeping when all these happened.
Watch football and not listen on radio

you are a simpleton!
i don't blame you though - your idiotic club/players who lost on penalties in their own forecourt caused all these arguments. had schweinsteiger scored his penalty kick with chelsea finishing 6th and missing europe this season, we would be here discussing lampard's new challenge @ qpr or west ham!

SimonAndal: _
FOLLOW. MY. LINK! My god! Are you also memory-challenged?

which idiotic link? that article was written way before apple launched its iphone 5 so whatever was written on it was a mere speculation or prediction - not to be taken seriously. google maps are also not perfect as businesses change addresses everyday and if people don't report it to google, they won't update! there's no 100% accurate navigation system....

apple have decided to try it on their own now......google are losing millions of users everyday to iOS 6. everyone on iOS 5 who downloaded the new os have all dumped google for the new apple maps - coupled with the new iPhone 5 users.....in 12 months, apple would stand toe to toe next to google! it's a new turf for apple so we don't expect perfection yet!

SimonAndal: Goodness me, are all Apple fans this intelligence-challenged? Lemme spell in out for you in simpleton terms. APPLE. MAPS. THAT. COME. WITH. IOS. 6. LEAD. PEOPLE. ASTRAY!!!

now show me one - just one apple user that has been led astray with the apple map! you have till tomorrow to scour the internet and find one!

SimonAndal: @coogar, I'm not even gonna pay you mind until you read all my posts and quotes and tender an apology to Nairaland for being such a dumbfuck dunce!

you are a [color=#000000]f[/color]ucking ignoramus and you are not even clued up about how apple work! the phone just launched this morning and you are claiming it has led people astray? which people? like people don't have their own car navigation system before today? you and gizmodo can have a ménage a trois with lucifer with your idiotic/bogus claims!

SimonAndal: _
One word, well actually two words: facebook app.

you are a baboon! the facebook app that has been integrated with siri is not updated? are you kidding me? abeg - run away now before you pollute this space with your opaks! you clearly dunno what you are talking about!

SimonAndal: On Apple Maps:_
http://gizmodo.com/5945014/why-apple-maps-wont-get-better-anytime-soon?tag=ios-6-maps

so this link told you the apple maps have led people astray? lolololol. your ignorance should land you a guinness world record! this blogger is only saying the data apple got to power their map from tomtom is not as updated as the google map apple had on iphone 4s. apple know this already, they would need time to compete with google on maps but samsung does not own google too so what's the comparison here?

SimonAndal: There are different apps for iPhone 5:_
http://gizmodo.com/5944818/here-are-the-ios-apps-updated-for-the-iphone-5?tag=iphone-5-apps

i like this dude! letterboxed apps scorching the eyeballs - that's a laugh!!!
nonsense waste of bandwidth! are we talking about apps bought directly from itunes' appstore or the ones pirated? lololol!

SimonAndal: _
I'm sure you haven't been reading the reviews on the internet. Even Gizmodo, Apple's personal ärsë-licker condemned the maps.

i don't do reviews - majority of them are made by samsung fans to deride apple! apple stopped using google maps and went for it on their own using tomtom's datapack to power it. i don't expect it to be peach-perfect but the claims it's leading people astray is a bogus claim!

SimonAndal: _
Again I'm going to reference Gizmodo.com. Apple developers have to re-write their apps to fit the 4" screen. So sucks for you if your app's stopped recieving updates.

white elephant lies!
i have been running the new iOS 6 since wednesday and I have been able to update all my apps without glitches. i-phone 5 owners wouldn't experience this problem too cos most of the developers have recoded their apps long before the launch of iPhone 5. the increase in screen size has been on the news more than 5 months ago!

SimonAndal: Erm...this iPhone 5 sef, isn't it the one with maps that lead you astray and a screen too big for your apps? Lol. Apple wanted to compete with Android in terms of screen size but they forgot that android is "scalable"! iOS is not!

such ignorance!
their maps are powered by tomtom! tomtom have sold millions of navigation system for years - so when did apple map lead you astray?

SimonAndal: Now you have to re-download ALL your apps in order to get them to fit the screen. Or if you're unlucky, the apps haven't been updated and you're stuck with a game that plays on half the screen.

it's so easy to tell you have never used an apple device before thus this nonsense you are spewing! why misinform the public to score cheap brownie points? redownload apps to fit into a screen? only nigerians can come up with this hokum - only a nigerian!

Gekko: Most of the folks commenting on this thread dont really understand the Western way of life or culture. This is a consumer based society, life revolves around consumption of goods. Thats what makes USA tick.
You dont understand why they queue online for a silly phone just as they don't understand why you spend 5 days out the week going to church. Its also worth mentioning that apple has a cult like following going back to the inception of the company.
People celebrate apple products releases with as much fervor as a chelsea or man u fan. Stop worrying yourself and move on with your daily.

i can stand the ignorance, it's the hypocrisy that peeves me to the marrow! nigerians are the last people on the planet to say something is demonic!

ogugua88: I went for a job interview with Apple once. It was the creepiest thing ever. Cult is an understatement, truly. Some people live, eat, and breathe Apple.

I've been running away from Apple for years, but it's undeniable that their phones are some of the best. No way my Blackberry could keep up lol.

bb-10 is coming out with a bang! don't knock it till you try it

alienware: it is demonic,if not what on earth can make people queue up for this long. not even pension or mama put

but when nigerian motorists queue without hope @ filling stations, it's holy, isn't it?

debosky:

Nateevs allows his hatred of Lampard to get in the way far too often.

Lampard is still an essential member of the team, even if his defensive characteristics aren't the best, because of the goal threat he still provides and his general reading of the game. If anything, Mikel should be the one dropped and Romeu given a shot.

drop mikel for lampard? are you insane? lampard contributes nothing but free kicks, penalty kicks, etc - this is why his stats look better than sliced bread. tell me one remarkable thing lampard has done this season other than to poke free shots from 12 yards the moment eden hazard decides to take a tumble in the box......

mikel is the most essential part in the chelsea team(the most disciplined in the lot) ivanovic and ashley cole are wingers these days. luiz is a locomotive train and terry also joins up the attack sometimes. mikel is always the gatekeeper that adds some sanity to the team. drop mikel and see how chelsea's defence would be pulverised like the walls of jericho!

ogugua88: I do have a job and make money. That doesn't mean I should be a slave to it. $1000 can come and go in anyone's life.

most of them are youngsters anyways so no biggie to them! this is like camping in the woods. they took their whole camp tents, inflatables, etc! i hope you are aware nigerians sleep @ gas stations too for nights for something even less meaningful(50kg of petrol). these apple touts are making cool £700(tax free)! it's far easier than going to work monday-friday!

ogugua88: Some people are stupid then lol. It isn't worth it in my opinion.

£700 = $1000 is not worth it? most people don't make that in a week of 8am - 6pm going to work everyday! their food/drink were provided by apple and they just camped there! it's the easiest way of making money!

ogugua88: They get bargains? Like what?

ogugua88: Such monkeys. I ordered mine online so it'll be delivered. I could never stand outside for a piece of electronic.

the point is getting it before ups delivers yours. the guys @ the front of the queue get good bargains. people pay them double the price of one! so they are getting one iPhone free and one for the buyer!

UNLEASHED: @ OP exactly the same thing at Trafford Centre in Manchester. You need to see people queuing up for iPhone 5 like apple is giving them out for free.

it's always like that for super brands......majority of the guys there aren't even interested in the product, they just want to sell their space or sell the phone to buyers @ the back of the queue. some people are also doing it for charity! the last time i did this was in march 2007 when playstation 3 was launched in the uk - that was even madder than this...

[quote author=Mr_TA]Well we're currently very sloppy. Chopping and changing players and keepers. While the scouse always raise their game for big matches.

If vra doesnt play we're even more screwed. You know giggs will start the match.[/quote]fergie must know giggs is finished! i don't think giggs would start ahead nani and there are few options in the midfield these days!

[quote author=Mr_TA]Hard game at anfied on sunday. Would actually be delighted with a draw.[/quote]we should beat liverpool easily.....arsenal won there the other day. i really wish evra and rooney don't start this one. they are always going to ruin it with their issues with the scousers. i also hope fergie can keep giggs/scholes out for this as well. let's go thump the scousers, they are currently out of form - there's no excuse not to get a good result there on sunday!

Mcleo007: Toure Yaya is pure class!

whether toure is class or not...this was how madrid felt after the victory...

Ibime: Why dont you tell us?

188 goals for Chelsea. 188 42 penalties!!!



Lemme help you with another stat:

Frank Lampard has created 222 chances in the Premier League since 2009/10 season.

http://www.thechels.co.uk/2012-09-15-saturday-sixes/

How many has shekpe keeper converted?

torres didn't join chelsea until january 2011 though, so some of the 222 chances you claimed were when torres was at liverpool.
then again, how many of these matches did torres play....how many of these chances were corner kicks, indirect freekicks that were aimed towards ivanovic, terry, etc?
i rest my case....

Ibime: 2008 - Lampard should be dropped. He cannot play Scolari diamond formation. Scolari says Lampard was his best player. 20 goals and 19 assists follow.

2009 - Lampard should be dropped. He cannot play Ancelotti diamond formation. 27 goals and 20 assists follow

2010 - Lampard injured for four months. Came back and took Chelsea into title contention. 13 goals in half a season. Cant remember Nateevs excuse then, but Im sure he said Lampard should be dropped

2011 - Lampard should be dropped because he cant press high enough. Lampard rob Messi twice to set up Ramires. Lamps rob Jay Spearing to set up FA Cup final winning goal. The rest is history.

2012 - New invention. Lamps should be dropped. "Double pivot" and bla bla bla. Mikel needs a quicker partner.

how many of these goals are from cheap penalty kicks/freekicks? lampard has scored 5 goals for club/country this season - only one of them is from open play! let's scratch that.....frank lampard has scored more from the penalty spot than any player in the entire chelsea history.....let's scratch that again.....frank lampard has scored from the penalty spot more than any player in the england national team! ibime, lampard's stats don't fool footie acolytes. if ramirez/mikel were also given the task of burying it from 12 yards, they would score aplenty!

chocckidd: firstly i am not a fandroid.i use a lumia 900 and galaxy s iii.if i wanted to buy a phone based on specs and benchmarks it would be the xperia t or lg optimus g
check them out.The funny thing is you don't seem to want to highlight the iphones greatest strenght,the os itself.javascrhpt benchmark is based on the browser and safari aint just it for me.sony xperia t is an example of how hardware and sofware have been optimised for the best performance.
benchmarks do not really translate into everyday use
P.S: Try and piece together two sentences without vulgar language and maybe you might be considered as mature

iphone's greatest strength is it's user-friendliness.....and this point keeps eluding apple's adversaries. all those geeky/nerdy technology can be integrated by apple as well but to what end? they value simplicity more than having some geeky tech the average joe on the street won't understand! who outside the samsung marketing crew has an idea what groupcast and shareshot mean? the mainstream consumer audience simply don't care about those - they want easy stuff that are enjoyable to use...full stop! so while samsung and lumia can have a 50 million list of geeky features and specs, apple are busy aiming to show how their devices fit into the lives of their consumers and they making gazillions of money from that simple concept!

chocckidd: resorting to insults just to make up for your inadequacy....typical of people with lesser and immature minds

go poke a pony! resorting to which insults? what's wrong with you deluded fandroids that you cannot keep quiet for once? if you have any intelligent point to raise to counter my points, come out clear and say it, stop pussyfooting like a twerp!

4llerbuntu: the moment u start hearing the cheap plastic line, you know for a fact that either the turd saying it has NEVER seen a GS III in the flesh, or is simply trolling and looking for points by repeating stuff read elsewhere

but samsung is made of plastic......whether it's cheap or expensive plastic is open to another debate! hehe

texazzpete: Can you tell us how it's 'way better'?

don't mind these neophytes!

Ibime: Guy, suck it up. I know it pains you. RDM is the most successful manager in the history of your club, not AVB.

Look at the bitter guy counting games as if he is looking forward to some sacking. When these eediots were showing their formations in July, they showed us formation with Lamps, Mikel as DM and CM and called it "a defensive formation". Now its not defensive enough for them. Some showed us formation with Mikel, Oscar, Marin, Hazard and Mata in the same midfield like they are playing fantasy manager. I told this nincompoop that this team is unbalanced and he even started arguing with Ritchboy that all these players fit into the team. Because Nateevs has been found to be an eediot (once again), it is convenient to lay blame at his pet hate RDM.

finishing 6th on the table makes rdm the most successful manager in the history of chelsea? ibime is a disgraceful twerp!
honestly, i give up at this stage....

StarBoard: Was going to ignore the wretched display by Super Maverick (aka best winger in Europe)-including the laughable 32 million claim till I saw the above.Classic malfeasance so its nothing new.
There was a Michael Carrick on the same pitch.yet Nani was judged by someone living in the 21st century as the best player that night.

carrick was average, his midfield was wrestled away from him by the galatasaray crew. apart from his goal, there was nothing really special. nani had 7 key passes in the game. he set up fat chances for hernandez(1v1 with goalie), did the same for van persie and even welbeck. yes, he missed a pen but who hasn't missed a pen for united?

With Nani, the story is always the same-. . .would have. . .as well as all the bla-blaing and pulling out all stops that folks like the quoted seem to do just to justify this waste of potential and hair gel.

valencia - 1 assist in 270 mins, nani - 2 assists in 197 mins

Nothing left to say really, except that I'm yet to see a Nani demonstrate why people rate him so highly this season (and for a long time too for that matter)
I'm yet to understand why only Zenit St Petersburg is the only side with any interest in him, if he's that good.
Please I need answers to the above.

but you denied zenit were interested in nani when this debate started.....now, you are curious as to why only zenit is interested? the fact is most teams cannot afford his transfer fees and his wages. i am not sure nani himself wants to leave man utd, he just want a new improved deal and his contribution in the last 3 years suggest he should have one. as per his market value...... http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/nani/profil/spieler_33706.html
unlike you, i back my claims with facts!!!
