Leonardo Bonucci - after less than a season, he has already played for Italian National team. 22 years old.

Bayern are already on the tail of this guy.

He choose Malouda because at the time Malouda was the better player in better from Lyon, and Drogba was desperate to have him at Chelsea, and after the in fighting between Jose and Roman, it was late until Roman released the funds for Jose to spend,

Malouda better than Ribery in 2007? Thats imposible

he turned down Ribery because he had Robben…

How come both players are now playing in the same club? Tactical shortsightedness?

Jose is a coach who doesnt think long term about any club he goes, All he wants is the money to buy more players he doesnt care if the club goes bankrupt. Someone who bought Maniche just because Essien would miss the first leg vs Barcelona.

Compare that to a Van Gaal who was appointed this season by Bayern. In the first team now we have Thomas Muller 20yrold, Holger badstuber 21 yrs old. (Both of them have played almost all of Bayerns game this season).

David Alaba 17yrs old, Diego Contento 19yrs old within his first 9 months 4 youth team products already promoted. Thats a coach that someone building a team.

LvGaal can as well come in and demand Hoeness, Rummenigge and Nerlinger to get him Kaka, CR7 Ribery and Rooney else he wont take the job.

Jose loves the easier route. Buy all the players Europe had to offer in 2004-2006 yet couldnt play a CL final

@ Madrid fans, WHo would you support at the CL finals

Drogba was below par last season. He wouldn't have won the best African player in Chelsea, never mind best African player.

Last season, Dragba wasnt even the best West African Best ivorian in Chelsea would be close between him and Kalou.

Who said Etoos goal were not imporatnt? As at August 2009 Cameroun were with one point from 2 games and at the risk of not qualifying.

Etoo grabbed 3 goals in 4 games and the Lions won and are in South Africa

Wetin I do na Dyabman. No be me hold your players legs

@Dayokanu
Valencia where quality then jare! The only other legit teams in Spain where Depor and Madrid so don't make it sound like Valencia where shyte. They made the UCL Finals twice at the turn of the millenium contrast that to a Porto who where European nobodies just there to make the numbers due to their local champion status. Or else you want to tell us Korea are world powers since they have not missed the mundial since 94

After Benitez, what has been their highest League position? But after Mourinho, Porto has won their league 5 times after Mourinho. That shows Benitez made the difference in Valencia.

Benitez has not managed a league title in 6 seasons since Valencia he only even competed once. The local league may carry less weight but its harder to win than the UCL, Benitez won the UCL and finished almost 50pts behind the winners and even finished 5th thats not good enuff and thats why i would always rate Ancelotti and Rafa below Mourinho the only mordern coach i would prolly take over Mourinho is Rijkaard

Just like Mourinho has not managed a European final in 7 attempts. You mean local league is harder to win than CL? I bet Porto, Barcelona, Lyon, Chelsea etc would disagree SHow me any club that has won more league titles than CL.

Ancelotti won 2 CL and played another final, Tell us what Mr Genius has achieved and they are about the same age.
Rafa has 3 European finals tell us about Mr Special one.

A student that goes to Berkeley, Yale and Georgetown and takes first position in each school has to be a genius

But can only make the National finals in 7 attempts. That shows something is wrong.

Mine is love at first post for mama-gee

Lehman is booked for time wasting

WAKA SHEGE!!!!
Make I even ask you the same question, which school you go gan sef?

I tell you say I go school? I just wan start school jor

@Truly,

I would have agreed with you if not for some of the worst acts in the last 9 yrs chronicled below and their common denominator is highlighted

Mumbai shooting: Pakistani Moslem vs Hindu.
Offa Kwara state: Nigerian Moslem vs Traditional worshippers.
Sudan: Arabian Moslem vs Xtian South.
London Trains : Moslems blow up trains (Arabian Moslems vs Agnostic/Freethinkers)
Southern Thailand: Thai Moslems vs Thai Buddhist
Middle East: Arab Moslems vs Israeli Jews
In Jos: Hausa-Fulani Moslem vs Plateau Christians

No need to mention Muttalab and 9-11 cos that would be an overkill

For Real?
If you Indeed attend a Koranic school, then why do you detest the Islamic religion so much?

Dullard, na Sauron i dey talk say attend Ile keu.

How you go know something when u nor dey gree go school

Secondly na so easy? Even Faggotson has only managed 2 UCL titles in 19years. Mind you it took him 9 years to pick each title so whats the fuss about Mourinho? Benitez has also not won a league since leaving Valencia while Mourinho has won the league in 2 other countries

Benitez won league title with Valencia which was a bugger achievement than winning leagues with Porto, Chelsea or Inter Milan.

Benitez won CL with Liverpool who hardly play CL football this is a greater achievement than winning the CL with Porto who are a regular fixture in the CL.

Mourinho has not played a European final since leaving Porto, Benitez has played twice since leaving Valencia.

Which carries more weight, European stage or local league?

Ageg sharap

Afraid dey catch am, E nor fit spell again

Didnt watch too much Leverkussen no thanks to Boarding school wahala but i am kinda from the school of thought that Ballack is an overrated player. He was a decent passer but was more of a box to box player than anything else

The Ballack that came to EPL was used and dumped for money-miss road.

if anyone watched Ballack at Leverkusen, Bayern and for Germany he wont ever say he was overrated.

After Ronaldo he was arguably the most influential player of the 2002 world cup. He was the best midfielder in Europe in 2002 Also the highest scoring midfielder.

Led teams to CL finals, World cup finals, Euro cup finals with a lil bit of luck he would have won at least 2.

Pep eye don open. He has realised what a failure Ibra is especially with Etoo claiming a goal in a big match yesterday and has rightly dropped Ibra to the bench

It took SAF 9yrs to win in Europe again.
Let's don't even go into the luck thing.

Give JM time.

If you give a dullard enough time, he would figure out calculus even if its by using bottle corks.

Geniuses, Special ones should actually not take ages to play another CL final

Mourinho who hasnt managed a European trophy outside Porto in 7 seasons
Benitez never goes to a club without winning a European title

Benitez CL 1 winner 1 runner up. UEFA cup 1 winners title and he has the La Liga title too managing a club outside the big 2.

Both personalities fit. They hop around NL

Mama-gee!!, Mama-gee!! v Mama-gee!! Mama-gee!!, Mama-gee!! Mama-gee!! Mama-gee!! Mama-gee!! Mama-gee!!

Can I have your autograph pls and possibly something more

He is not crap but he is not as good as he thinks he is. . . .

He peddles the impression most of what happens on the field
is up to his genius . . .

I wonder what was genius about the disallowed Scholes goal
and useless mitts Tim Howard has for hands that are largely
responsible for his meteoric rise.

Actually I supported FC porto on that day and jubilated crazily when Costinha scored. Right now 7 seasons after seeing how Jose is going about the Chelsea god image I wished Manure had won on that March 2004 night.

Benitez who hasn't managed the EPl in six yrs?
The same man battling for 5th place?

Mourinho who hasnt managed a European trophy outside Porto in 7 seasons

JM never goes to any club without winning the league.
At worst, he'll come 2nd.

JM haters have no case abeg.

Benitez never goes to a club without winning a European title

Benitez CL 1 winner 1 runner up. UEFA cup 1 winners title and he has the La Liga title too managing a club outside the big 2.

90's. On my way to primary school.
You attended primary school in Allen right, what school?

One "Ile Keu" Koranic school where the Alfa used to plog then 24-7

He won the UEFA Cup and UCL back to back! Is it beans? Abeg make una pay the man his respects the guy walks his talk and he proved it yesterday

Benitez did this even wth different clubs which is even more difficult

Mourinho is defo World class anyone that argues otherwise think they know but really they have no idea cos the stats and records are there to prove it. He won the UCL with absolute nobodies in 04! Who was Deco, Maniche, Costinha, Aleynichev, Derlei, Carlos Alberto, Carvalho et al the only notable players they had then where an ageing Jorge Costa and Vitor Baia.

WHy hasnt he been able to repeat the feat even with more resources and better players than he had at Porto

u dey mind all these ajebutters? i once trekked from surulere to iyana ipaja during the abiola riot, it wasn't easy, but now, i can trek to Eritrea.

Me na Jibowu/Fadeyi to Egbeda. Omo that day Nigeria do me like Ghana.

Off Allen Ave.

Off Allen for where? You sabi First bank bus stop?
One of my Aunties used to live there. I think she was Nosa Igiebors(TELL magazine) neighbour.

Theres one canteen there where we used to go and eat. We would order fufu 4 when they ask for meat just tell them say u get toothache. and you would leave the place with like 7 toothpicks so people would think you ate a whole buffalo.

For Real?
I lived in Ikeja for a while then Moved to the Ogba area.
I passed Allen Avenue area everyday on my way to school.

Dont tell me you were that petulant kid that used to cry everyday on his way to school with mucus dripping from the nose. And the housegirl or was it your sister would always give you backhand slap when u sit down in the mud.

You sabi Ipodo?

Any guy man here sabi Ipodo "where things dey happen"

The least I had done was to board danfo. I no get liver to enter molue.

See ajebutter. Molue was my schoolbus

man abeg, stop reminding me joor, mosquitoes dey slap person wey no quick sleep for Lagos, if u do strong head, u no wan sleep, dem go dey come sing Christmas carol song for your ears, if u still no gree, na rocket launcher remain be that, dem go dey jam u left and right until you are forced to sleep (Lagos mosquitoes are agbero trained)

The best anti mosquito is like 5 shots of the hardest Shekpe and you would sleep so soundly that Mosquitoes would be scared sef.

na this one i like pass . . . you can "chook" her from behind.

be careful cos if your eye no strong the girl might end up billing you for the free "enjoyment"

People no send mosquitoes now adays, all the mosquitoes sef don dey find ways to migrate to chad, Ghana, some to SA because they are tired of living in a country with no light, do you know how many of them are toothless? they always mistake television for human belly because Naija mosquitoes can't see in the dark.

Actually mosquitoes in lagos only bite the rich. When you spay Raid or use mosquito net you are only inviting mosquitoes but if you open your window and sleep naked the mosquitoe sef go fear.

When it tries to suck blood and its proboscis are hitting bone, instead of sucking blood its sucking "shekpe" from your veins.

They would warn others to run away from your room.

Have you heard where human being infected mosquitoes with disease? Check Orile iganmu.

Lol, butterflies?  The mosquitoes in Surulere made me the tough girl that I am today.

If you see corect Mosquitoes, you go run.

Mosquitoes that would collide with you and you would think someone punched you.

You guys are males that's why you can get away with this. No be person like me go do this kind this. The conductor will just fling me out of the window.

Females have their own way. if you are well endowed just enter and beg one man to "Lap" you. He would gladly do that.

Inside Molue. i have seen a 30yr old man lap a 26yr old lady for a journey of 3 hours. Oshodi to Alagbado and the guy was smiling throughout

all the people shouting NEPA, how many times did you skip paying your NEPA bills?  

Did you ever pay taxes? and you want water abi? Yeye people.

Pay NEPA bills for wetin? My parents usually give me the money but I sabi manipulate the meter to read backwards every month NEPA is always owing us. Just interchange the wires under the meter.

Or if you want to be kind make the meter not read anything

But dont let NEPA ppl get access to your meter is the trick they would send you an estimate, after like 5 months adjust the meter back and let them read it the calculations would always show they have overbilled you.

Even with those blood-hungry mosquitoes?
Have you been bitten by Ikeja mosquitoes before? They are like butter-flies.

You think those are mosquitoes? When I served in Bauchi I saw what mosquitoes are.

They are very polite. They knock the doors and tell you to open so they can bite you. They are more deadly than Boko Haram

Really?
My skin n body are too delicate for stuffs like that

Fights and getting beat up are normal runs for lagos boys

Quick secret: me and tkb were in rival gangs growing up but in 2005/2006 when we grew old we closed ranks.

Whilst I haven't, friends of mine have. Some of em' have even gone as far tapping those poor women's backsides and grabbing their bobbies

In those postures, you would be praying for the Molue to enter gallop and your reaction would be exagerrated. I know someone who grabbed a girls boobs trying to get his balance after Molue enter gallop.

See curses that day.

Shame no catch you abi?  
Rubbing those poor women up and down, Agbaya oshi

Na the women dey rub me to collect free "effects" from me.

Another thing Refusing to pay conductors in Molue buses was also the thrill.

Honeric those Iyana-Ipaja to oshodi Molue.

The trick is stand in front, when they ask you for money tell them someone would pay at the back. By the time the Molue conductor gets to the back we are already at "Ikeja along" and he discovers nobody wan pay for me.

By the time he comes back to ask me I pick a fight by the time the fight settle down we are already at ladipo/Bolade.
If he wants to start a fight tell him "You sabi Sir-kay? Na my friend. In every area theres always a Sir-kay who is a bully.

TIPS: Dont try this during peak traffic hours because you would still be at Iyana Ipaja when the conductor would throw you out.
