Coogar,

With that excerpt about Garrincha, Would you still say Pele didnt play in a star studded side?
The equivalent of Garrincha in modern times might be Ronaldinho/Zidane

Jose Mourinho’s been there for seven fabulous years now. A devastatingly handsome man, a man who holds football in contempt, exactly the right attitude. Honestly, those who like football really are asking for a kicking. Why would you sack that man, Roman? Why? Because you’re a spanner.

FLOWCHART: ARSENAL’S TRANSFER STRATEGY


Wellity well, we’re here again, filling the space at the top of a flowchart with some text to make the layout on the front page passable. We could fill it with a link, but we’re almost certainly better than that.

Perhaps the most exciting thing about creating this one was knowing that Arsenal might not actually sign Gervinho. They also might.

N.B. This was written before it crystallised that they genuinely were signing Gervinho – a move which may actually have placed them beyond parody.

"You have to look at it soberly - the player is under contract with Manchester City and the decision lies with them," he told Spox. "They have demanded a price we will never be willing to pay."

Rummenigge went on to criticise City for their reluctance to sell Boateng, despite their surplus of defenders and the player's desire to move to Munich.

"At the moment they're using a tactic that I've never seen: they don't respond, even if we try to contact them.

"And this is so even though they have signed two players for exactly the same position in recent days."

The Bayern CEO then lambasted City for their policy on the 22-year-old as Financial Fair Play takes effect.

"I think they are going to have 48 players under contract, but according to Financial Fair Play they can have only 25. And according to their last balance sheet, if I'm correct, they are minus €143m," he explained. "Maybe they still have a trick up their sleeves but I'm not sure that they will be permitted to play in the Champions League."

"We do not play Manchester City rates. The club apparently always adds a bonus on top of the price because they have an owner with no financial worries. But we certainly will not pay astronomical prices.

I would suggest you let your cousins friend know that her Aristo is married to your friend.

Also maybe hint the man that you know something, maybe you can call him and Say "Do you know (insert cousins friend name) She says you are friendly with her". Something in that line.

Dont tell your friend

Abi shey Papa wenGAY dey first collabo him new signings before making them public?

Sexual compatibility between Manager and new players is key in Arsenal

Man Utd of 1999 was not a star studded team, Brazil of 1958 was!!

You cant tell us a whole Brazil went to the world cup putting ntheir burden on a 17yr old shoulder.

you are the one making your own argument here. . . .i mentioned beckenbauer, zidane, fat ronaldo. . . . .they did not singlehandedly win a world cup but they performed for their respective national teams. messi is yet to show for argentina and to qualify as a great player in the degree of fat ronaldo, pele and maradona. . . . .messi must show more bottle for argentina.

Several factors contribute to how great a team is, Fat ronaldo had Cafu, Carlos, Rivaldo who were absolutely world class, Add Ronaldinho too. Messi's national team has a weakness which is not related to Messi himself.

nani is world class? really?

The best player in the EPL last season by a distance.

i never knew fat ronaldo was a defender in france 98. . . . . dayo, you embarrass yourself when you come up with claims like this. fat ronaldo's aerial prowess was judged from what he did at the other end of the pitch not when he was detailed to head defensively. how many strikers are good defensive headers. you make me laugh.

You dont have to be a defender to nod balls defensively, Canavaro, Ayala, Vidic and Terry are potent aerially even on their wrong side of the field

coogar:
and yet it was pele that scored 6 goals in that world cup at a tender age of 17. . . .the only goal against wales in the quarter-final, hatirck against france in the semis and a brace against sweden in the final. 6 goals in 3 important matches of a world cup and he was only 17.

Pele finished the tournament with six goals in four matches played, tied for second place, behind record-breaker Just Fontaine, and was named young player of the tournament.
It was in the 1958 World Cup that Pelé began using a number 10 t-shirt that immortalized him. Recently it is known that the event was the result of disorganization: the leaders didn't send the shirt numbers of players and it was up to FIFA to choose the number 10 shirt to Pele, who was a substitute on the occasion. The press of the time cataloged Pelé as the greatest revelation of the 1958 Cup.

The fact of the matter is Pele played in a star studded team, Vava, Didi, Garrncha and Mario Zagallo played alongside Pele in 1958 That is an all star team, pele has never carried a whole team on his shoulder.

Thats why its said that only GARRINCHA AND MARADONA have singlehandedly won a World cup, Not Pele

i would have taken your list serious if 3 of the players listed are not defenders.

Which shows they have a very balanced team 3 World class Defenders, a World class midfielder in Nani Should be enough to do anything for Portugal.

tell me a situation where a delightful cross was put in the box and ronaldo miscued his chance. just one incident in about 100 games ronaldo played for brazil. the truth is brazil don't play like england, argentina or germany. they pass the ball around and they don't do the cross from the flanks looking for someone to head into the net.

France 1998 final Ronaldo was detailed to mark Zidane in corners and we knew how that match up ended.

which of the ronaldos are we discussing here? lima or cristiano?

Luis nazario de Lima

One month before the 1958 World Cup finals started, Garrincha scored one of his most famous goals, in Italy versus Fiorentina when he beat 4 defenders and the goalkeeper, and then when faced with an open goal, rather than scoring, he waited for another defender to get back and dribbled past him before scoring. Despite his stunning performance his coaches were upset at what they considered an irresponsible move and this likely led to Garrincha not being picked for Brazil's first two matches of the 1958 tournament. However he did start their third match against the USSR; this match marked the debut of both Garrincha and Pelé. The Soviets were one of the favourites for the tournament, and the Brazilians had been nervous about playing them.[4] Their manager, Vicente Feola, decided to attack directly from the kick off. Garrincha received the ball on the right wing, beat three opposing players and took a shot which hit the post. With the match still less than a minute old, he set up a chance for Pelé, who hit the crossbar,[4] and continually caused problems for the Soviet defence. Brazil won the match 2–0.
Following the Brazilians' narrow 1–0 quarter-final win against Wales on June 19, 1958, Mel Hopkins (the full back who faced him that game) described Garrincha as "a phenomenon, capable of sheer magic. It was difficult to know which way he was going to go because of his legs and because he was as comfortable on his left foot as his right, so he could cut inside or go down the line and he had a ferocious shot too."[5]

In the final against Sweden, Brazil fell behind 0–1 early, but rapidly equalized after Garrincha surpassed his marker on the right wing and sent a cross for Vavá to score. Before the end of the first half, Garrincha made a similar play, again setting up Vavá to make the score 2–1. Brazil ended winning the match and its first World Cup trophy, with Garrincha being one of the best players of the tournament; he was voted to the "Best XI" for the competition.

Thats Garricha as described in the 1958 World cup

that's the argument. argentina are a far better team than portugal and yet the bestest player in the world(messi) is producing rubbish for them. this same argentina have di maria, tevez, milito, aguero, mascherano, etc and they got destroyed in the world cup and were taken apart by columbia last night.

Portugal has Pepe, Carvalho, Nani, Coentrao These are top rated players in European football So whats Ronaldos excuse for wack performance

ronaldo lima in his prime is better than any striker in the history of association football. . . . .what makes you think he's not better at headers than shearer, bierhoff and batistuta? because brazil does not play with natural wingers who cross the ball into the box like england and germany now mean ronaldo lima is not good at it? is there anything ronaldo lima isn't good at? i don't buy that argument. . . . .

Didnt we watch Ronaldo, alongside Batistuta, Shearer and Bierhoff? Its obvious to everyone that Ronaldos aerial game is very average.

Take a Ronaldo vs Rivaldo situation

Rivaldo is better with headers, better with freekicks, Better with long range shots, But the little things Ronaldo does , He does it much better that it outweighs the here and there skills Rivaldo has

So being an full time Housewife is no longer the ideal thing? I thought all women want is to be a housewife ni?

OP, jare I think the best thing in this situation is for your wife to get a job or something doing, That would cure loneliness, She would have other things to think about and possibly stop crying, I bet she would become sexier to you when all these are in place

coogar:
pele won a world cup for brazil @ 17! that brazilian team had no stars and pele was the star of the team. messi for argentina is utterly useless. without xavi and iniesta, leo messi is very ordinary. i watched as he laboured for 90 mins without producing anything of note. the late freekick he had to change the game was kicked to row-z.

cristiano can play in every team. he tries to carry the team, he commands, he helps, he scores, he passes, he does the freekicks. he does not need a system, or playing time with the team. he is just outstanding, good in every team but not as good as messi at barca(which i am now convinced is due to xavi and iniesta).

messi needs a total system. every step planned, like a swiss-clockwork. if he finds all this, he is the best player in the world. there is only one hook, he can only play for barcelona and maintain that scary dominance on the pitch

if any of the big clubs were to buy messi, he will suck. however, ronaldo would go to any league and own the field again.
and this is why many would prefer ronaldo any time over leo messi. technically, you need to have the time to build a hardcore system over years and years, which is obviously not going to happen before messi can flourish.

messi has played full 180 mins against hapless teams and he was shyte throughout. putting a performance worse than oshea would cop against a big team and people say he's the best player to have ever played the game. . . .big fallacy. go and watch cryuff, beckenbauer, fat ronaldo, zidane, maradona, etc and see how they inspire team-mates(country/club)

1958 Brazil had Didi, Vava, Garricha and Djamal Santos.

Garrincha alone was more important to that team and according to world cup folklore, Only Maradona and Garrincha can be said to have won the world cup "Singlehandedly"

Now to Cristiano Ronaldo,

Tell me what Cristiano Ronaldo Produced in the World cup playing CIV, North Korea kind of teams?

True you can say Ronaldo does everything Freekick headers etc but the only thing Messi does, he does it better,

Ronaldo Lima isnt good at freekicks neither is he good at headers yet he is centuries better than Strikers like Shearer, Bierhoff and batistuta who are "More rounded"

coogar:
no one should ever dare putting messi on par with the likes of pelé, cruyff, beckenbauer, platini, maradona and zidane. when it comes to carry a team almost alone on his shoulders and make it play better, messi is light years behind the players i have named.
i don't think i've ever seen such a big case of jekyll and hyde when looking at the difference of performances for his club vs. his performances on the national team.

another average performance from messi. he's nothing without xavi and ineista. maradona make teams better. he doesn't need a team to make him better.

messi is the best player ever my right foot!

Then you can also scratch Pele out of it as he played in a largely star studded team.

Moreover this thread is about Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi

Surely everyone knows Arsenal is one of the most useless clubs in Europe.

A club that has been trophyless for most of Alvez career in Europe.

Tourist class means someone who just come every season to like a tourist to watch while those in the business class takes care of business

Mobinga:
EPL > BundesLiga
Manchester > Bayern
Liverpool > Bayern

Bayern >>>>> Man Utd (In all ramification)

Bundesliga >> EPL (Check performance of their players in FIFA tournaments)

i just laughed mu he he he.
yes o, there are 4th, 5th and then F class

Sweerie How far

Hope Seun made enough money from GEJ during the campaign cos for the next 4yrs he would get many sticks and I hope the money he made would compensate for it.

When you dey follow the destroyers of Nigeria chop you should know that when its time for them to go down you cant avoid it.

Ask what happened to the politicians, musicians and people who joined Abacha to ruin the Nation, they mostly went down too

You have aligned with GEJand the enemies of the people so enjoy the fresh air while it last

hmmm

Blazay I still love you, Dont keep me waiting for too long

Coentrao = 30m, Di Maria =25m, Kaka 65m, Benzema, Higuain Neymar some of those Multi million players would be on the bench

I am certain Seun was settled by Odechukwus campaign given the way he bombarded homepage with pro GEJ topics.

Several times when he was forced to put topic on HP he even skewed them to favour GEJ

Boko Harams JOMO GBOMO

For instance, an analyst, Jumbo Preye Ekiyor, speaking on Tambuwal’s emergence as Speaker, had said:”[size=18pt]In this congregation of infamy, the members of the party from the South-East zone stand out for their opportunism[/size]. Having agitated and failed to get the office of the Speaker zoned to them, they resorted to conspiracy and subversion. They conspired with the northern extremists to wreak vengeance on the party for its position on President Goodluck Jonathan. It is an irony, worthy of the utmost condemnation, that the South-East members, whose people voted overwhelmingly for President Jonathan, could use his candidacy as the ground for revolt.’’

Spot bleeping on

Still, the current situation has grave implications for [size=18pt]the desire of the South-East to produce the president in 2015[/size]. If the zone presents strong candidates for the post in 2015, it would presumably need to enjoy the support of the South-West caucus in the party, .
