European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dayokanu(m):
superstar1: Of course, he did not deserve it that year.

I am not his fan, in anyway.

I respect CR7 more, because he is a 1-man riot squad, that has proved his mettle in at least 2 worthy leagues.
WHat does the bold even mean?

If you are playing in the best team in the whole of Europe, do you need to go elsewhere, Are Iniesta, Xavi, Schweini, Pirlo Lahm, Rooney, lampard, inferior to Silva, Cazorla, Yaya, Khedira, Modric, Cavani because one set have travelled in 2 diff leagues and the others have stayed in the same team/league all their career

[size=14pt]Bayern Munich are to subsidise their supporters’ tickets for the club’s Champions League last-16 first leg away to Arsenal by putting 90,000 euros towards the cost.[/size]


In a rematch of last season’s last-16 tie, holders Bayern travel to North London for the Emirates Stadium clash on Feb. 19.

In accordance with Champions League regulations, the Bavarians have been allocated five percent of the tickets, and are able to put 2,974 tickets on sale for their supporters. With 18,000 fans already expressing their interest in attending the game, the Bundesliga club will most likely distribute the tickets via a lottery in late January.

And those lucky enough to get their hands on tickets for the match will only have to pay 45 euros instead of the 75-euro fee set by Arsenal.

“This is intended as a small thank you for the fantastic support of our supporters during 2013,” Bayern said in a statement on the club’s official website.

The statement added that the club have not only impressed on the pitch, but also through the “fantastic and loud support of its fans,” with the 2013 Champions League final and the 2013 Super Cup final listed as highlights.

Bayern have a huge core of fans that have followed them around the world, with their supporters’ group Club Nr.12 filling up two planes to Marrakech in December for the Club World Cup.

"Of particular note is the fact that a large number of Bayern fans not only go to the big occasions, but also attend every away game,” the statement continued. “That this loyalty is not only extremely time-consuming, but moreover makes a big dent in the supporters’ wallets, should be clear for everyone.”

The Bayern vs City you talked about Bayern was already leading 3-0 and were just trying to kill the gave and while away time. If they need to score there's nothing city would have done to stop that dominant Bayern side

mithel: And who careshuh so far the medals are not different
Thats why every club wants to be like Barca, every club wants to play like Barca that won, they are the reference point

Who refers to Chelsea in such glowing terms? Have you heard of clubs wanting to play like the Chelsea that won the Champions league?

Most reference to that Chelsea is usually negative

mithel: where was it against brazilhuhwhere was it against bayern?
It doesnt work 100% of the time but it works more than it fails

Thats why Barca has 3 CL trophies and Spain has 3 back to back trophies

The USA that deployed a counter measure cant last the test of time, thats why Chelsea despite winning on the back of negative football still enjoyed the euphoria but never gave the manager much credit for his style

nitlad: Either way, success can be achieved through whatever brand of football.
Some brands are lasting and more defining

Brazil woiuld be more respected and Barcelona wins would be more respected than Chelseas

Mourinho: Its easier to defend than to attack. Thats why attacking teams are usually respected and Stoke, Chelsea are derided

ritchboy: I never said Carrick and Cleverley are world beaters. The #fakt they're technically superior to Chelsea's midfielders only highlights what I've been saying since August: Chelsea's midfield is pants. You see, I'm consistent! cheesy
Its funny. I mean seriously funny someone can say with a clear mind that Cleverley and Carrick are better than Ramires, Lampard, Mikel, Luiz
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by dayokanu(m): 5:50pm On Jan 08, 2014
ritchboy: Carrick/Cleverley is technically superior to Chelsea's midfield(Mikel/Ramires/Lampard/Essien).
Are you trolling or serious? Carrick Cleverly that has been trampled upon by all and sundry is superior to anyone?

Followed by another ridiculous excuse

lalaboi: More like he was playing Mind Games with Rooney. . Simply telling him. "Look, I have no strikers i Trust. . .If you come here you can walk straight into the team and be the top man". . people like Dayo and Gustavo will call it "Defensive". . Some people just know better.
So a coach risks 3 point on the field because he wants to tempt a player to join them? So If Jose wants to tempt De Gea he would play Marko Marin in goal to show he has no keeper?

When he was trying to get Cashley from Arsenal was he playing without any left back too.

Ibime: JM was wary of RVP/Rooney in that game, definitely not Carrick/Cleverley. lol.
I think he was wary of De Gea. Abi how would a coach be wary of Carrick and Cleverly? If not for the Man Utd hype Cleverly would find it hard to play for Swansea
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by dayokanu(m): 3:48pm On Jan 08, 2014
ritchboy: Mourinho only plays defensive football aginst teams that are technically superior to his(and/or away from home), most mangers do this. Of course Guardiola has never had to resort to counter-attacking football cos he's never faced a technically superior side than his Barca/Bayern teams, the jury's still out on him!
This season for example how many teams has Mourinho faced or how many teams would he face that are technically superior to his Chelsea.
Yet he has lined up defensive a lot. E.g His line up vs Man Utd in Old trafford or would you say Moyes Man Utd is technically superior to this Chelsea

The few times he tried attacking it failed miserably and like the coward he is, He went back to his normal defensive pattern
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by dayokanu(m): 3:38am On Jan 08, 2014
In the last ten years how many champions league has this defensive football won.

Mourinho even alluded to it that is easier to pay defensive. Constructing attacks is difficult, destroying is easier. Jose has taken the easy way.

That's why the attacking Barcelona would define an era but Chelsea football won't be remembered
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Offical Bayern Munich Fan Thread: 6x Champions Of Europe by dayokanu(op): 11:16pm On Jan 07, 2014
ritchboy: I actually don't think Bayern did anything "wrong". I think the problem most people have is the league will become a formality. Every championship needs at least two teams with comparable chances of winning.

Dortmund have themselves to blame for putting a release clause in Götze's contract and not renewing Lewy's when they could about two years ago.
And anyone should know buying doesn't guarantee anything. Dortmund still beat us 4-2 in the supercup. And if not for terrible injuries that affected them they would still remain competitive this season.

If it's by buying them arsenal has no business topping the league.

We have always been the biggest team in Germany yet that didn't stop Dortmund from winning 2 of the last 3 league titles and beating us 5 Times in a row.

Football for players and clubs is a business and I doubt anyone here would have issues if Apple buys Samsung's best staff
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Offical Bayern Munich Fan Thread: 6x Champions Of Europe by dayokanu(op): 4:20pm On Jan 07, 2014
The daftness being displayed here deserves an award.

Fifa uefa and German laws states that a player can negotiate and sign a contract 6 months to the end of his current deal. So what's the big deal?

Ballack agreed to join Chelsea 6 months before his bayern contact elapsed like every free agent but we didn't see this much holy anger.

So when you're a contractor you wait for your contract to expire before negotiating another one?

Those 22 are states APC is favoured to win outrightly.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by dayokanu(m): 9:59pm On Jan 06, 2014
This is simply because Mourinho as a coach doesnt know how to play attacking football and he is more comfortable with parking the bus the same ideology lower teams like Stoke City use

CFCfan: Like I said, the Middle-Belt will be the battle ground zone. Don't forget that it's not just a majority of votes that is needed to win, a party also has to score 25% in at least 24 states.If the APC candidate only scores 25% or more in the 19 states that make up the NW, NE and SW, and gets less than 25 in the other states and the FCT, there will be a run-off election.

At the run-off election, only a simple majority of the votes is required to win, according to Section 143 of the 1999 constitution (as amended). So I guess, I meant to say that there might be a runoff election.
Remember NC states like Niger, Kwara and nasarawa currently tilt towards the APC

SUBMARINE: YORUBA CHRISTIANS YOUR DESTINY IS AT
STAKE REMEMBER AFONJA AWO MKO GIWA.

The battle against GEJ is spiritual using human interests as cover up. One thing am sure of is that, GEJ is an instrument of change in God's hand that will place Nigeria on the path to economic greatness needed to support thousands of God's missionaries of Nigeria origin within and outside Nigeria and of which the Easterners will constitute a large proportion of this missionaries. The simple truth is that this plan of God can't be delayed the way it was delayed in the 1960s because Nigerians' now understand God's plan and are ready to fulfill it.....FACT. My plea goes to the Yoruba's not to allow Tinubu and Obj deceive them into foolishly working against God's plan. ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY BUT ILORIN WAS LOST IN A DAY. REMEMBER ECONOMIC PROSPERITY FOR THE YORUBA MASSES IS BETTER THAN FEW POLITICAL POSITIONS OCCUPIED BY YORUBA ELITES.
We Yoruba Christians are not interested in your stupid religious nonsense

The only thing I support is the Child Support payment

God has endowed everyone with a brain

Divorce settlement should ONLY be in cases where the couple are running a joint business venture and all income or liabilities incurred after the wedding should be split based on contribution

The only other case is where the husband mandates the wife to stay at home then he would have to pay her based on what her colleagues with same skillset are earning in their workplace

Theo Walcott ruled out for six months

After coming off injured in Saturday's 2-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur, the Club regrettably announces that Theo Walcott has sustained a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee.

Theo will have surgery in London in the near future and is expected to be out for at least six months, therefore missing the remainder of the season and the World Cup in Brazil in the summer.

Everyone at Arsenal wishes Theo a speedy recovery and we look forward to seeing him back on a football pitch as soon as possible.

Buhari and VP Fashola

APC should simply focus on their base and not care about what the opponent thinks

No need for any long consultations. Buhari and fashola are core APC guys not recent defectors and both have a cult like followership in their regions

Its now left for everyone in the APC to support them fully
