manny4life: Let me guess, selling electronics, second hand clothes is now petty trading? Lol

What's the use arguing with you when you say are LIES? Biko, come up with another story jor.

manny4life: Petty traders and market women all over SW? Lol...

Dude, your lies are welcomed, no shaking.

Kairoseki77: Are you kidding? Igbos are ALL OVER the SW working as petty traders and market women.

There are plenty Igbos living in illegal structures in Oyo. Too many in fact. I feel bad for Nigeria when I see them.

cashkid18: dude,d last time i checked ibos ar migratin to lagos to their business bcuz of d huge population there nt to any other sw state..i wonder wat an ibo will b in dt unhabitable place called ibadan..btw who told they ar no yorubas here in enugu

passion007: Yorubas in Igboland blend in very easily because there aren't stifling rules over there. They blend in so well you hardly can tell they're Yoruba. Igbos are so peaceful and so accommodating. I had a couple classmates who took Igbo first names: Ifeanyi and Chiomai.

coogar: your league is weak - you conceded 3 goals to a 4th ranked arsenal with your full squad. what's so excellent about your defence? a good defence should have won the competition unbeaten.

bayern's attack is not sharper than chelsea or even man utd. there are various levels of sharpness. your team is not perfect - there's no perfect team as there's always something to improve in the team.

and defence isn't part of football? as long as you win games, either defence or attacking football is not illegal. the most important thing is not conceding stüpid goals.

what about intangibles like discipline & mental strength? football is 70% mental, 30% skill.

brazil of 1970? when managers play 2-3-5 formation? how can you even compare then & modern football?

the balanced boxer would then be the one that can cop the best of both worlds - the one that can attack very well & defend very well.

porto's attack/defence being almost equal does not necessarily mean perfection. they just seem to show more balance than barcelona who don't even believe in strengthening the defence. if porto are balanced or perfect, they would be tearing everybody in europe a new one!

Donchyke39: my dear Amoeba,continue dreaming while the majority of of rally atendees puts him into power... my question to you is "among all the contestants,which of them can boast of being a personality"?..be wise.

Policewoman: APC is simply wasting their time. Anambrarians will either go for PDP or APGA. So says i.

manny4life: Did you say poverty? Lollllllllllllll

Ask PAP where poverty is at? Abi which region with least poverty, they will tell you...

coogar: but bayern's defence is weak & the arrow head since klose/gomez left has been iffy. mandzukic is a second-tier striker. he does not match the creativity flowing behind him in robben, muller, goetze, ribery, kroos.

inter 2010, ajax 1995, barcelona 2009, super eagles 1994, etc.

perfect is balance. balance is stability. you cannot be unbalanced and yet be perfect. this is common sense.

perfection has nothing to do with world class status. a team of world class strikers can lose to stoke. there are other factors involved. porto are not more balanced than barcelona - they both have shyte defenders. barca trumps them in attack & midfield.

software man: Damn! this guy must you repeat and affirm your tribe in every single post. if your name is tunde olaniyi you do not need to repeatedly tell people you are yoruba?
Except of course you are not.

Prof_Dumbledore: Normally i dont reply simpletons buh i think i'ma put u outta ur quagmire of ignorance. 1st of all if u studied Chemistry in High school( if at all u ever attended a high school) your Chemistry Teacher then would have taught you that Some soils contain Fe2( just like the ones in the south east) when these soils come in contact with rain water which has a weak carbonic acid of H2SO3 an oxidation rxn occurs which produces Fe3.OH which is rich in iron and red in colour, that's why the soil in the SE has a red colour. In Geography it's called 'Lateritification'. erosion is natural, u cant blame it on the Govt same way you dont castigate fashola when tidal waves wreck havoc on lagos's coastal settlements. With the above points of mine, i hope i have been able to inculcate little into your dwindling 'Faculty of reasoning'!

nateevs: If there is anything as two balanced teams meeting, the results of the clash will be determined by fine margins. This is what you will expect if both teams have achieve a state of balance. There will be not much to pick between both teams.

“I said time and again that it's necessary for Bayern to have a better balance between defence and attack in the new season.”

A huge plus, if indeed he’s able to stick to it. All-out attack is fun to watch, but the problem is that when a club is pushing forward all the time, no lead is safe. This is OK for a mid-level club that’s trying to push their way into the top part of the league. If they have a good enough offense, they will have a good chance to score multiple goals per game, and probably out-gun their opponents a majority of the time. But for a club that’s already at the top level, and wants to win trophies, getting into shoot-outs every week is too dangerous. Even if your guns are better, you’re going to get shot about a quarter of the time, just through luck of the draw.

For this reason, it’s vital that FC Bayern get back to holding onto leads. Once we go 2 goals up, the match should be money in the bank. And that won’t happen without a solid commitment to defense from a tactical perspective.

Of course, this gets easier with the right personnel. If we’re able to pick up Boateng, or someone even better, then our defense should improve regardless of any attempt at “balance.”

“I'm not a fanatic about playing styles. I'm flexible enough to make changes if I see things aren't working.”

If I wasn’t always told how humble and professional Heynckes is, I would have thought this a deliberate dig at van Gaal. Either way, it’s nice to know we can mix it up a bit. When you go against the best clubs (in both the Champions League and even the Bundesliga), they know what to expect. They’ve seen our players, our formations, and our various tactical proclivities numerous times, on tape and often in person. If you aren’t able to throw a new idea in sometimes, a good defense will chew you up, no matter who you throw in there.

Nemesis83: Lonely? Dude get a grip, if you have half the life i have you wont be living in that hell hole you call home, you impoverished scamp.

You asking me what does tokunbo cars have to do with Mb's? ask yourself you demented old circus monkey

this phuktard just comes on here and spews shyte, no one here owes you nada!!! i will put you in your place you faggotttt.

I come on here to enjoy the constructive debate between guys about the team i love, i aint no soccer analyst but when idiots like you spew shyte, someone has to put you in your place.

[size=1pt]I'm catching an early morning flight, will be back here in some hours to read your response faggottt!![/size]

coogar: they were not a balanced team - the attack is thin. mandzukic is not a world class striker by any means & bayern have no good defence.

this is almost true....but stam's partner in the defence was a weakling.

bayern's team are also light in the defence. only lahm qualify as a world class player in that defence. the rest are visibly weak. you cannot tell us vidic/ivanovic/kompany would not improve that bayern's defence or lewandowski/falcao/RVP would not improve the centre forward position. if true then your team is not perfect. it's excellent but it's not perfect.

nateevs: What you are explaining is tactical and not necessarily personnel. What the young folk is defending is purely personnel related.

Some folks here will give anything to explain to you that the Chelsea team of 04/05 was a balanced team. That team had Gallas at left back yet they did everything you claim a balanced team does "equal priority to all aspects of the game" Scoring record number of goals, conceding the fewest number of goals and amassing record number of points.

But I don't see that team in your list as a balanced squad. Why because your explanation is tactical. Simple.

So let's start the debate here, at what point did Bayern become balanced.

nateevs: The point you are making is moot. There is no such thing as a balanced squad. It is a moving target. And an excuse made up by people who hide away from their responsibilities. I challenge you to find me one balanced squad on earth.

edoyad: Then what do you call the team that destroyed you, right there in your castle Conqueror?

R2bees: lol..dis guy u no dey tire sef? Why dont u face ur bundeshitliga banyash fc

Sincere 9gerian: It is only a fool that will go searching the internet for pictures of bad spots in a state and posting same online just to score cheap political point. Unfortunately, I'm not on ground in the state to respond to you with pictures. But the FACT is Anambra State has more than 1,000km of network of roads. You cannot discredit over 1,000km of roads with pictures of less than 1km bad spots.

Sincere 9gerian: I'm sure they must have learnt their lessons. Thank you for the pictures. We must continue to criticise our govts at all levels but such criticisms must be fair and based on realistic expectations.
