Why is the UCL draw not on the front page? Is it because there is no club from the overrated EPL there?

Greatihex:
you have no undastdin of what mou meant when he said "parking d bus". It is wen u hv eleven player behind the ball frm d onset. When u dnt cum out to mark d ball wen the opponent defenders or keeper hv d ball near their own goal post. Go and check fabregas perf. and stats against that of rakitic. Then u cum and delete dis post. Fabregas has assist, pass completion, distance covered and every tin more than hm dis season. It is nt wen you take and midfielder and play hm as a striker, you expect hm to do magic. Fabregas is playing d best football of his career current. Barca didn't knw hw to use hm.

For the past 7 seasons, Fabregas always flopped @ d 2nd half of the season. Arsenal and Barcelona can testify to this. Fabregas was bought as the heir to Xavi's throne, but he kept flopping @ the crucial stage of d season.

All those assists u mentioned happened at d 1st half of d season. Tell me, how many assists and goals does Fabregas have in 2015?

The 2nd half of d season is the business end of d season. That Awkward moment you realise Pastore of PSG bossed the midfield with 10 men and Fabregas was missing.


As for Rakitic, he was d best player in Europa league last season. Even now, his work rate is better than Xavi and Iniesta. Rakitic has more goals and assists than the great Xavi and Iniesta combined this season.

I hate Barca's management style, but selling Fabregas to buy Rakitic is the best decision they've made in a long while.

dicksj93:
hmmm...did ur messi win malaga

Then Malaga is better than Chelsea. They beat Barca @ home. Chelsea has NEVER done that in their pathetic history.

Greatihex:
it wl be childish to start brag on hw our team players wl play if they are to meet barca. You dnt knw if messi wl hv a bad day on dat day. Barca hv a style of football the play, they play a possession type of football, it is in the DNA of the team, no team wl beat them at it. Bt, chelsea does nt base their football solely on that pattern, bt chelsea play according to the opponent. For barca, it is to be conservative, patient, discipline, gv them the ball to play around and hv their fun, then hurt them on the counter attack. This is a weapon no body wl deny that chelsea are one of the masters of. Barcelona cannot beat them at it. Chelsea is a force to reckon when it cums to counter, even messi wont deny it, wt the likes of Eden Hazard leading a counter attack, there is a big chance for a goal(how i wish i hv his type two in my team). Football is a game of passion, the result is the ultimate. Barca vs chelsea is a match that half of barca fans wl neva bet their money for.

Your Hazard could not help Chelsea beat 10-man PSG. What you don't know is the world has moved on and EPL is lagging. Bus parking system has been found out by European teams. Barca has changed their tiki taka system while Chelsea still thinks bus parking is d solution to winning big teams like Barca.

Rakitic is an upgrade on Fabregas. But that's another story for another day.

Total Embrassment

eyoniggar:
Mehn this 1 wey thread number dey show 666, shey nor be sey na doom this wan spell on us? Anyway God pass devil, we shall prevail. Gotta be a pretty interesting match today.

By the time the match starts, we for don pass page 666

Juliaann:
Am nervous

Forget the British hype of EPL. They suck. Today, Barca will put the final nail to the coffin of EPL teams by burying their overrated champion.

Some EPL fans are giving Man city false hope that they will beat Barca @ home on Wednesday night.

Keep giving yourselves false hope. By Thursday morning, no EPL team will be in UCL.

coded01:
Happy to see the thread in a joyful mood...

Whenever man utd loses, I'm always here to read comments from Coogar about how Rooney was @ fault backing it up with statistical data, and how Empawa keeps defending Rooney. This is how the next 50 pages of this thread would go.

coded01:
If you cules don't know, newly promoted Burnley beat Man City today...1-0

If man city play in laliga, they won't be in top 10.

dein77:
Yes. And it's time to get ready as City visit Camp Nou next Wednesday. It's a game we can't afford gambling.

Playing Real Sociedad @ Anoeta stadium is more difficult than playing this overrated and poor man city.

750th game for Xavi today. RESPECT

Who wants an Hat-Trick?

Yes ooh... Checkout that header.

Oya Oga Analysts...

They will dedicate the next 50 pages talking trash about their disjointed team.

I need to boogie down on this thread.

Greatest TVal!!!!! Arise and let these Manyoo fans be scattered

La Liga Top Scorers

December 13:

Ronaldo 25
Messi 13

Today:

Ronaldo 30
Messi 30

Noise too full here. Where d hell is the DJ? Please play me "e don happen" by P-Square.

LA liga... World's best league. Look @ how tight the table is... It's better than a so-called league which prides as d best, but d 1st team will hold an 8 point gap over d rest by Wednesday.

That awkward moment you realise a sick Tito Vilanova was the reason Mourinho was trophyless for 2 seasons.

Mourinho broke d jinx tonight @ where else but the overrated EPL.

Congrats Mr Mourinho.

funkyjms:
Kudoz to Spanish teams so far!

See the way Fioentina is raping Tottenham. Liverpool is hanging in d balance. EPL is trash. Uefa needs to reduce the number of EPL teams in Euro competitions.

ascaris:
English league is highly competitive unlike other leagues. It may not produce the best teams but it is the best league.

Nigerian league is more competitive than EPL. Anyone can win the Nigerian league title. Does it make Nigerian league the best?

Shubbylee:
Hazard Scored against PSG last season in paris and when he was in Lille he Singlehandedly Crippled PSG in 2010/2011 season (do ur research). So because Hazard has not scored against ManCity he's not a good player na wa for u oh!! That's a very whack criteria for judgement because Chelsea has not played Spanish teams in the Knockout stages since Hazard came except for A.Madrid last season. why didn't Ronaldo score the 70goals when he was in Man Utd? Mumu talk!! thruout his time in d EPL he never scored against chelsea. That one is Man City.....if Chelsea should meet Barca Today.... Barca would receive the beating of the season!! it would be worse than Bayern's own last season.

Bring Ronaldo and his Madrid team to epl and he will score 70 goals per season.

U think Chelsea can beat barca like Bayern without parking the bus? It's an insult to compare Chelsea with Bayern. Chelsea's UCL win in 2012 and being the 1st team to crash out in group stage as defending champion is a big shame.

As for hazard, he will always be below Neymar except he ups his game in goals and assists. All those useless dribbles count as nothing.

Shubbylee:
So Mr OP!! Based on Neymar's lackluster performance this night (Even tho his team won) should I say Neymar is an average player? would that be fair? He played so bad that he was substituted!! NO GOAL, NO ASSISTS, NO SHOT ON TARGET, NO CHANCES CREATED!! and he was not heavily marked like Hazard was against PSG!! Hazard would never play badly to the extent that he'll get substituted (unless he's injured or he dies LOL). when u're comparing stats put into consideration that the LA LIGA is very generous with goals because of their All-Out philosophy, and it is Harder to score goals in the EPL because of the Cautious Philosophy of English football, every team defends well in the EPL!! that's y Ronaldo can score 40+ LA liga goals but couldn't score up to 30 while in England. After all these points I've made, if you still think Hazard is average then its either u hate him or u're a Chelsea hater!!

Neymar scored against PSG home and away. Hazard can NEVER do that. Neymar had an assist against man city in his 1st match against them. I can't remember the last time Hazard scored or assisted against man city even though he played them like 3 times every season.

Ever since Ronaldo left man utd for Madrid, he has scored against every top English opposition in UCL whether home or away. Bring Real Madrid and Ronaldo to EPL and he will score 70 goals per season.

EPL is overrated. If u saw the way man city players were down talking barca, u would think they would finish them like Newcastle. That's epl for you. Overrated league.

Emaprince:
MeSsi na otondo!!..a christiano ronaldo would have nodded that cheap ball home.

Anyways,barca holds a slim advantage.city can pull a surprise one at camp nou.you guys shouldn't celebrate yet.0-2 or 1-3 is what city needs to progress.

Story story STORY...
Enyimba has a better chance of winning the champions league than man city winning @ Camp Nou.

If I say laliga is d best, EPL fans will start saying trash. Malaga is far better than man city.

Baddestguyp:
Barcelona not as tough as Stoke
away - Kompany http://m.goal.com/x/en/news/9190602


I see this as an insult. ladies and gents, we have a point to prove

I blame CSKA for helping man city qualify.

We have no point to prove. We beat them home and away last season.
Let them manage to get @ least a draw. Because as I see it, they are not as good as Malaga.

Greatihex:
One thing i dnt like with fans of these days is that, they are nt footbal fans, bt club fans. I have seen what some of the "club fans" have commented. You wl b a well respected footbal analyst if u do it without sentiments. What i wl tel u (OP) is this, if you want to knw whether hazard is an average player or nt, go and ask Fifa. They have the answer. And stop that ur nonsense statistical figure of neymar having 17 assists. Go and get ur figure right. I wonder who he gave this assists. If you check very wel, suarez may have more assists than neymar. And for ur info, hazard is the most fouled player in both the epl and champions league. He is 7 more than the next person (neymar) in ucl. Dnt say what u dnt knw.

You have no business talking football.

We are talking about player's impact in a game, you are talking about number of fouls he received.
Where was Hazard when Chelsea needed the important away goal against PSG? it was the combined efforts of defenders like Cahill and Ivanovic that created that beautiful goal. U came here and talking trash that Hazard was fouled 7 times. Na foul dey win matches?

Hazard is just like Denilson of Brazil. He keeps dribbling and dribbling, while Ronaldo de Lima keeps scoring and Rivaldo keeps assisting. If he keeps dribbling and looking for fouls, he will never smell ballon d or, just like Denilson.

Fabregas keeps assisting, while Costa keeps scoring. These two players supply the goods for Chelsea, and when they fail to deliver, Hazard is no where to be seen. It's players like Ivanovic who delivers Chelsea from such dilemma.

So, keep counting the fouls for Hazard, while we keep counting the goals and assists of Neymar.

24 goals and 17 assists(and counting) from a player who has not spent up to 2 years in Europe is a fantastic return.


Neymar is better than Hazard. Case closed.

Immediately Pedro lost that chance, I knew it was all over.
Man city, rejoice @ ur own peril.
