united have been the richest for 2 years? I never knew! Unai n simeone ahead of Wenger? Okay!
Honestly, as much as I don't wanna involve in this merry-go-round, I'd love to state that in recent years, Simeone has been comfortably better than Wenger. Nuff said!

We'll get by without him. Players like Arda and Suarez and Rafinha should provide competent cover. Besides It is time we blood a player in Iniesta's image. Dude is no longer at his best.
Enrique needs to start grooming someone to take his place for the Clasico.

So do I! At the end of the day, 3 points is all that matters. The season is long. Sometimes it is allowed to play however possible, provided the maximum point is secured. The calendar isn't at all helpful. There's nothing stopping whoever is in charge of scheduling the match to have us play tomorrow, just like other colleagues in the ucl .
Experience has taught me not to get all worked up when we don't play well in games like this. What's the ultimate? Winning. Then we can talk about winning pretty.

Man City played very well on Wednesday, yet they lost by 4 goals to nil. History will never remember how well they played, but how well they lost. History won't remember how we didn't play too well, but how we dispatched them.

This is a lesson some of us need to learn. And especially a ground we have struggled in recent years with either draws or slim victories, one should be grateful nonetheless.

We won here 2 seasons ago courtesy of a last minute goal from Busquets. Last season we should have won, but we rather threw away the victory, same way we would have thrown today's away with lotta missed chances.

You can imagine their most revered coach at the height of his career losing twice to a very young and inexperienced coach. what more could be upsetting than that? And the fact that there was no 'ojoro' to refer to even worsen their case and hence the much hate.
I knew they would have loved ojoro to be in any of them so they could hold onto such whenever causes like this arise. But now? They ain't even got the liberty to gasp at straws. Clean winning hands-down! cheesy

I have always thought Dmcdad was a nice guy Until his latest post. Guy wicked no be small grin

Any Man U fan who claims he expected Barca to sweep United away in 2009 finals must be lying. They were shouting CR7 up and down then as he was the reigning world best, they were the defending champions and had their players fit and full of confidence coupled with their strong defence as against our makeshift defence. I could remember my Pastor even wanted to bet with me then as we had to make do with a makeshift defence, play unfit players in Iniesta and Henry. They never expected what they got served.
It was the 2009 loss that made them fear us in 2011 final.
Bruv I dey tellz you say ehn... Man utd fans come hate Barça die!

Honestly, the 2009 version was more painful, cause like you said, they were more prepared and more in-tune to win than us, especially during the first 10mins of the game. Lawd! It was like we were gonna have a baptism of fire as they brought the game to us ljke never before, creating chances upon chances. Ronaldo's shot even deflected off the bar.

Ladies and gentlemen, that was all they did all game. After the first 10mins, we took over and rode them till the end. Sotey, Puyol frustrate Ronaldo, Ronaldo come do am rough, collect yellow card. I wan laugh die! cheesy

But wetin we do no good at all. How would you defeat a team in 2009 on per seconds billing, and still repeat it 2 years later, especially at their backyard. Haba. Barça no good at all. And you expect make them no hate you with passion? Impossibru!

souljaboi51:
Hello guys, so yesterday i swapped my glo sim yesterday for the new 4G sim. I paid N500 (100 for the sim and 400 credit) and i was told to wait till this morning to activate it because their system is down (shocker undecided ). I use a samsung galaxy s6 edge plus and i live in Ajah so i meet the requirement for having a 4G enabled phone that meets the networks band 28 (700) and also being present in one of the locations that 4G is live.

I activated the sim around 8:30 am and i bought the N500 (1.6 gb for 7 days) so i can test run it. I started by doing a speed test and it clocked 4.50 mbps (impressive) so i decided to watch four youtube videos and i must say it did not buffer one bit. i proceeded to instagram and snapchat and all the videos loaded very fast and i decided to do a 4th test which was to download using UC browser and that was when the problem started. I discovered that it was very very very slow and i looked at the signal and alas it was showing a tiny edge shocked shocked shocked . I thought it was supposed to be 4G. It clearly felt like a rip off or a scam and the i did another speed test which was an appalling 0.67 mbps. Through out the day it was showing the tiny edge and i did different tests at different times of the day (see picture) and i must say i am really disappointed. I just hope Glo is not selling dreams (never really a fan of glo as i use spectranet mifi).

I dont know if other people have a experience with this supposed 4G LTE. If you do kindly share your experience.

My best Barca Moment : There are a lot of great moments I have had while watching Barca play, but this one was the Greatest of them all.
It was in 2009,at Stamford Bridge. I was reeling from the fact it was turning out to be old Trafford(2008) all over again. I almost wept. The whole Chelsea people in my street were taunting me, I felt so terrible that at the 88th minute, I told myself it's over. Immediately I left where I was watching the match, and entered my house, I heard a great goal shout. I thought Chelsea has scored again. My heart almost broke. Immediately, my friend rushed to our house and started shouting like a madman.
I don't I think have ever had such surge of joy in my life. My own madness surpassed his, I ran out and started shouting up and down our street barebodied . I came back to our house, wore my full Barca attire and headed straight to The main road. O boy! Come see other barca fans madness na!
I have to add though that my celebration for when we won Manchester United at the final was great, but that Iniesta moment against Chelsea is it!

I understand you cheesy Meanwhile between pique and boathand, who do you rate higher as a better cb?




Dmcdad always applies diplomacy not to get engaged with you on issues. I can bet it , if you write that ramos is the best defender of all time today. He wont fault it. He will stay aloof. But let any madrid fan write that, you will see him bringing stats to paint ramos as the worst cb ever. I understand him very well. cheesy
Is that what you think? You've got it all wrong bruv.

The reality is; if I see a post that underlines what I already believe, tell me how I am supposed to go against it. That won't make any sense.

Even though DK is a Bayern fan, he loves Barça no doubt. I love Barça dearly too. He loves Neymar too. Same here. Now tell me, how am I supposed to go against most of the things he says as regards my club when we are always in sync?

Just tell me!

Your apari head always works illogically. dmcdad is known for calling ramos an over-hyped defender long before the hair at the middle of your head started disappearing. Ramos and boateng belongs to this group of overrated defenders in his mind, hence their omissions. Sorry bro cool cool cool
Even on ps boathand wont stop giving neuer problems. cheesy

Saying Ramos is overhyped doesn't mean he ain't a top defender. That would be pure hate. I have always reiterated that he has gotten more hype than he deserves.

Neymar is good, but not extraordinary. No one is going to bow at Neymar's feet. Not happening. Ronaldinho was good, but Barcelona was not an all conquering team with him in it. Between 2003- 08 he was there, Barca featured in the champions league finals just once and won the champions league just once. EPL teams won it twice and featured in the finals 4 consecutive times.

There are not going to be another Messi and Ronaldo for every long time after they are gone.
Bro... Ronaldinho set the stage for what we are enjoying today. If it wasn't his magic then that brought Barça outta the ashes, I swear we would probably not have enjoyed this much success now. Today people say Barça doesn't need coaching... This is the legacy that was built during the Ronaldinho era, and it was perfected by Pep and today anyone who takes up Barça, conquers the world.

Its that simple.

Neymar at international stage doesn't have any player better than him, at least in recent years. Tell me any player today that is better than Neymar internationally.

You should noticed I only made mention of defenders who ain't used to playing the highline defence. Boateng did with Pep and he was great at it.

Noticed the peeps on my list either haven't or probably won't be able to meet up to the task, not because they are not good, but because it's difficult and risky.

Capiché?cheesy

NB: If to say I dey mention just highly rated defenders in general, I for surely mention Piqué, Ramos and Boateng na.tongue

undecided Bro.. We're saying the same thing..

You've even said it yourself.. Man city pressed very high. He did his job.. He was fantastic..


But that confidence under pressure was not fantastic..


You've given facts, and these facts are good.. They are in line with what I'm saying...

I didn't say stones played better than Sam.. Never!!!

I only said, in some cases, confidence under pressure.. (when with the ball).. Stones sometimes made better decisions than Sam..



Once I saw Umtiti on the line up.. I was relaxed. He played well, I applauded him for playing well.. But when you neglect theses little things.. It'll come back to haunt us in other games...
Bro... Mention any defender in the world today who doesn't experience a hiccup or two within a game? It's normal. I can bet my life that, if you bring highly rated CBs like Godin(who I respect very much), Thiago Silva, Bonucci, Chiellini or even Kompany to play the highline defence like we do, they will disgrace themselves and disgrace anyone putting his trust in them. Even Messi that got a 10.0 performance, did you know that before the goals, or rather bar the goals Messi was presumably absent almost all through? But the goals were moments of magic, and now no ones remembers he was largely absent during the game. That's the game of football for you.

No be beans at all to come from injury to play a top team like City, especially losing your defence leader in the process. Umtiti was very confident, forget! Stones get confidence? Stones na hype ahswear! If Stones was bought for 50M, then Umtiti should have been bought for nothing less than 70M. Walai, if Umtiti weren't there last night, especially after losing Piqué, na stories that touch we for dey talk now. I dey tellz you.

I just want you to appreciate him and isolate all the BUTs... If he messes up we can talk about that, but last night? He was fantastic. Let's leave it at that.

United lost Ronaldo, their "go to" man and simply failed in their bid to replace him.

When Madrid bought Ronaldo and Alonsothey were perpetual underperformers living in past glories in Europe, Liverpool and Man United were recent winners and constantly featured in finals and Semi finals of Champions league of those era.
Say all you want, but money bought Madrid it's status in Europe today, Madrid would not be able to price away a Ronaldo from United today, United will offer him any ridiculous amount of money available to keep him.

It was money that drew the likes of Suarez, Henry, Bale, Modric, etc to Barca and Madrid. With money they have now, EPL teams will tie those talents down with ridiculous wage allowances and keep Barca and Madrid in the Lurch. Gone are the days when you say jump, and EPL teams ask how high.

Between 2003-2014, Madrid kept throwing ridiculous amount of money to their problems until it clicked. EPL teams are set to do the same.

Suarez, Neymar and Bale are good, but they are not Ronaldo or Messi and will never give you the advantage Messi and Ronado did.
Suarez is an old man too, won't be around for long.
@emboldened, you can say this now because we have one super human and a god playing now. It's not everytime we have such. But then, I can bet my left balls you said same when Ronaldinho was doing his magic. Messi came on and made us forget Dinho in all his glory. We have Neymar coming up good. Not saying he would outdo Messi, but at least you know what he can do. He does so every now and then witj Brazil. Take Messi away and I tell you that the world will soon bow at Neymar's feet.

I rest my case.
