How many goals did your munirus and ambalis won with today?

Is it that you don't learn or you choose to ignore facts?

You got what you requested for but fail to acknowledge it here and now. You asked that Pique, Mascherano, Alves, Iniesta and co not play, for us to see how we will fare, right? Well, you go what you asked. Pique, Mascherano, Alves, Iniesta, Busquets, Suarez and Neymar didn't play.

Now note this; even though we didn't fight for a place (that is we were already qualified), we didn't lose nonetheless. But Man Utd fought for a spot and lost it because they were shiit.

Now, eat back those words of yours.

PS: You don bring Munir and co matter again ooooo. Later you go aay you no include Hazard. At least Munir and co have goals this season. How many goals has he scored this season? So by your logic, Munir >>>>>>>>> Hazard. #Fact.

If you must quote me again, please it should be an acknowledgement and a testament for what I told you that regardless of the players used, a top side should remain so.

When a non Man U fan starts defending United's poor exit from the UCL and blaming it on injuries..... .....while the real United fans are busy blaming their coach for bringing them to such level...

As in ehn... E dey surprise me oooo. Na your guy sha. Abeg no deny this one ooooo.

Barcelona XI vs Bayer Leverkusen:
Ter Stegen; Adriano, Bartra, Vermaelen, Alba; Samper, Kaptoum, Rakitic; Messi, Sandro, Munir.


Barcelona bench: Bravo, Masip, Mascherano, Busquets, Gumbau, Camara, Suarez.

Seems we are giving the youths a chance..Who the heck is Camara?..could he be related to Camara Laye?

Thank God say Lucho don repent on Samper matter.

homesteady:
You have been blabbing about 8 players missing, or is Rooney not part of the 8 players?
Phil Jones? the same player that a Utd fan claimed was a danger to himself and the team?
Smalling and Blind have been the center backs for majority of the season, Darmian has also been a main stay! Shaw is out for the season and has been out since, man u has moved on, so he is not an excuse.

They played 6 games and not only the match vs Wolfsburg, what made them not to win?

No ooooo! They have had those 8 injured since the start of the new UCL season.

Chelseafan1:
Maybe EPL teams are actually mediocres and overhyped?? but these guys they are playing against are also the best in their respective leagues, they didnt qualify for the UCL to comman mark attendace, u must also know that, no team can lace the boots of Barca, Madrid especially.

Bro, all due respect to every club out there (small and big). You and I know quite well that teams are more than eachother. The fact Malmo won their league is not a yardstick that they could stand La Liga champions (Barça). That's to tell you that all champions ain't equal. Some are more than others.

My guy, take away sentiments and answer these questions:

How has EPL faired in the UCL for the past 3 years?
How has EPL teams faired in the Europa league in the same period? And please don't give me the usual they don't fancy Europa league, cause Chelsea actually won it. If Chelsea fancied it, why wouldn't the likes of Tottenham and co?

After responding to the aforementioned questions, then you will see that EPL teams have been mediocre in recent years at least. Plus, it's no longer news that the media has overhyped the league and the players in recent times especially English players. No?

raumdeuter:
Your posts have been pushing the boundaries of stupidity since

Man Utd couldnt qualify in a group of PSV Wolfsburg and CSKA. man Utd is one of the top teams of the EPL

Thats akin to Barca, Atletico or Madrid not being able to qualify from their current groups. In SPain Barca Madrid and Atletico their top teams have already secured qualification before the last gameweek

That is why Spain is topping EPL with a wide margin in the coefficient

So Wolfburg beat Bayern makes them a top team?

West Ham beat City Arsenal and CHelsea so they should be able to take on Barca

Celta Vigo beat Barca, Barca beat bBayern that means Celta Vigo would beat Bayern conveniently

Some foolishness should be patented

Mehn Dayo, God go bless you jare. I don dey explain this same thing since morning. And each time I give explanations, this guy go just still dey carry me go back. If you read from earlier today reach this evening you go see say I don ask am lots of questions, but alas him no answer them.

I guess no need again jare. Imagine say you dey pour water enter basket.

homesteady:
Someone is seriously defending Man Utd's dismal UCL campaign? It surely has to be Airmark.

I'm 200% sure that the net spending of all the other clubs in the group for like 3 seasons is not up to what Man U spent this season, and you are shamelessly trying to defend them?

How would you blame the outcome of 6 games on only one game? Where all their players injured when they were shamelessly loosing and drawing games they should have won? Even after poaching PSV best player, they couldn't even win them.
Besides which useless 8 players are you talking about? Apart from Herrera and Schneiderlin , who else would have made a positive impact? is it them Rooney, Valencia and co that Man U fans constantly cuss at on their thread?

Even on man utd thread, no one is justifying their exit, but in your bid to cement your place as Nairaland Most Foolišh, you came here to disturb our peace with your jargons! Which normal human being doesn't know that EPL has declined greatly? O well, you are not part of this group.

Mehn, I don leave the matter for your hand. I don tire to educate that guy but I guess I don fail. Na to sit down look be that. Make I turn spectator.

airmark:
That further buttressed my point that the fact that man utd paraded a weak team due to injuries and lost yesterday is not enough for anyone to use it against the whole epl like debroslink did. If dmcdad could be concerned about the bench why wont a man utd fan be concerned about his team regulars that were sidelined by injuries? There are teams who could rise up to occasion and grind out results at the last minute such teams would need experienced players to do it. Man utd lacked it yesterday parading damian as LB, varela, borthwick-jackson, nick powell and other emergency recruits to do that.




So wolfsburg that defeated bayern twice this year is a 4th tier club, right? Thats the kind of braggadocio that heralded the man city/sevilla duels until sevilla was flogged home and away. Zenith is also a 4th tier team and defeated valencia home and away, right? Ridiculous. i asked you how your barca would cope without mascherano, alba, alves buscuit, rakitic, pique and iniesta against a team like wolfsburg? Not forgetting how you lost to celta vigo, sevilla and drew with roma. Just like i told Dayo, when the time comes i will remind you when you guys wail here.

Your argument is baseless I swear! So because Wolfsburg defeated Bayern, they are now automatically a world class team? I see... I guess since Celta defeated Barça, they should be regarded as a tier 1 or tier 2 team. Abi? No?

Another thing is, you have purposely left out all the questions I asked in my earlier posts. I guess I would have to revert back to my shell and continue on with my ignore button.

Have a nice evening getting to the last 16. Goodluck! You guys will really need it.

sebod:
His constant reference to the homesteady as regards Roberto to prove a point shows clearly he's just trying to score some cheap points on the guy despite the clarity in his post.

Something must have happened to your ignore button bro!

Mehn, I just thought I could help a bro out. A bro in need of proper clarification.

Bruv, homesteady didnt cry for not having Roberto. It was a quick question to inquire from us cules if anyone got any ideaa when he would be back since there was no midfield bench on that game. You dont wanna play a game without having a midfield substitute.

If anything, we should be given an award for everything we have been through. Tell me bruv, in all sincerity, how many clubs out there do you think would survive a transfer ban like ours? Do you know we started this season without a credible player on the bench? C'mon, we are where we are now cause of the ingenious of Lucho and his capable assistant Carlos Unzue.

You lots said we were gonna be torn apart if Messi failed to play the Clasico. You guys saw what a Messi-less Barca did to Madrid. Injury or no injury, a top side would do well regardless. If Man Utd had played the likes of Barca and/or Atletico or one of those top teams, it would have been understandable to bring injury to the fore as the reason for their non-qualification. But against the likes of PSV, Wolfsburg and CSKA? 3rd or 4th tier teams? Haba na... Fear God na! Do you know Valencia played us over the weekend with most of their first teamers absent? Yet, they held us (almighty Barca) to a draw.

I would never accept injury as been the reason for a top side like Man U not to qualify ahead of those 3rd/4th tier teams.

airmark:
A bit busy now but lemme chip in this, before this last fixture man utd was having Valencia, Shaw , Herrera, Jones , rojo all injured and man utd as 2nd on the log was in qualifying position. Those are facts. In fact what happened prior to yesterday is irrelevant, Chelsea was on the verge of being bundled out by Napoli in 2012 only to bring the magic wand in the 2nd leg against all odds. If some barca fans could be crying for sergi Roberto after a draw with Valencia, don't blame man utd fans if they do same for their injured players. I ain't a man utd fan but that's the truth. I didn't want man it'd to qualify though

Krasid especially.... Ohh! I remember, na Penaldo fanboy him be and not a Madrid fan. Sorry my bad.

haywhy911:
lol,better no complete am o... Madrid fans go just rush u

haywhy911:
you are absolutely right. Barcelona don't always get the easiest team in Round of 16.... It's time for Mother Luck to favour us. PSV will be a tasty meal.. And have you also noticed the quality of opposition teams face heavily determines who finish top scorer? My 'sentimental' mind says that's the reason why CR7 has been topping the charts in recent years.

Frankly, this is true. We have always had it tough when it comes to draws in recent years. Madrid on the flip side? They have had it rather...

haywhy911:
lol.that's true... M sure the players are happy they'd be avoiding nutmegs this year . Bro,have you noticed nobody is talking of Zenit? Alongside Atleti,I think Zenit are dark-horses

Zenit are just surprising this time around. Although I still believe they will surrender when they meet the men. No one needs to talk about Atletico, cause they are a top side. They will give any of the top dogs much trouble if it were to happen in the latter stages.

I honestly think only 3 teams can drop Atletico off at this time. Barça, Bayern (not so much though) and Madrid. Of course if they would meet Madrid later on, it would be a very close game. Yet, I would tip Madrid ahead of them.

haywhy911:
I doubt there will be any English team in this year's Round of 8...

I think City might just get there. They actually made top spot in their group, so that has taken them away from the big boyz.

But if they fail to qualify still, then it means they are complete shît!

Hopefully Chelsea qualifies, then either Madrid or Barça or Bayern will have them. I mean.... yummy.

Krasdid I no wan argue now but e be like say you son finally comeback to life after a minor heart attack .....ndō eh ....what's the 411 on your treble abi na terrible dream na ?

Are you serious? Him tell you say them wan win treble ni?

Abi na that him siggy wey him bin put sometime ago? Haba, him no mean am na. Abi person no dey follow una play again? The guy just wan use am play small na, no be say him actually think or dream say them fit ever win treble.

People wey dey fight for just 2 trophies this season fit win treble wey be 3? Abi person dey pass exam wey him no write?

Thanks bruv... By default I don't do such, but sometimes one needs to open the eyes of these guys. I wan be like Jesus wey open the eyes of the blind. I no talk say you blibd ooooo airmark. You should understand my sarcasm. Make you no go misquote wetin I type there.

airmark:
Though man utd has other problems but there are moments you need majority of your materials available to achieve your goals at the last minute no matter how badly you started. We have seen it before in soccer world where a team started badly but came out stronger in competition. A more solid defence yesterday by man utd would have seen them topping the table this morning. If you like behave as if it's not the truth, wolfsburg yesterday was beatable if you watched the match very well. Inclusion of schneiderlin, shaw, rojo, valencia , herrera, jones would have been helpful to them. All wolfsburg 3 goals were largely caused by inexperienced defending. Just imagine your team without mascherano, buscuit, alba, alves, rakitic and pique in a crucial fixture. You know how it will be. So forget all these day 1 day 2 nonsense, man utd was 2nd before yesterday's match

Alright. What happened prior to this last fixture? The thing is, excuses like this are unacceptable from a club like Man utd to a large extent.

A top EPL side like Man Utd can't qualify from a group consisting of Wolfsburg and PSV prior to the final group fixture is nothing short of disappointing. Accept this or not, but it's the truth.

Frankly, EPL teams are not that great, at least not like you guys paint them to be. If you would attribute Man utd's struggles to injury, what would you attribute Chelsea's struggles to? Not talking BPL here, but referring exclusively to the UCL. And what would you attribute Arsenal's struggles to? Before you start saying injury, they were complete prior to today's fixture and did nothing noteworthy aside from beating Bayern at home. Should Arsenal not be fighting it out with Bayern at the top of the table? What business do they have with struggling for a qualifying spot?

Let me see what you will attribute to Arsenal and Chelsea since you used injury as the cover for Man utd.

**waiting**

Yahoo1:
no mind them,8players ke?.....who are the 8players make them name them then we will talk.
Were those eight players injured when psv beat them in the first leg or other matches before the last game? When we played madrid they said without Messi we will be lucky if we even get a goal. These Epl fans knows how to twist everything to suit their shallow reasoning!
Man city beat sevilla home and away,does anyone come here shouting how porto beat chelsea or olympiakos and zagreb beat arsenal! If Man city didnt beat sevilla then Epl needs to stop coming to Europe.

These guys are f**king comedians!

Imagine, always shifting the goalpost to suit their cheap arguments. Na wa ooooooo.

airmark:
Don't divert issues to hazard's or chelsea's. We are not talking about hazard. We are talking about man utd team that had his 8 major players sidelined by injuries not playing yesternight against a wolfsburg team. If barca loses 8 regular players how will they fare? Only sergio roberto was not playing , homesteady was crying all over the thread. address that bro.


Stop all these medefegedege. Address how debroslink defined epl being on a decline as quoted below.

Remember, you didn't answer my questions. Anywayz, what is wrong with what debroslink said?

Are you telling me Man Utd had their injuries at the beginning of this season's UCL campaign? C'mon fear God na! Haba!

Day 1 did they have 8 people injured?
Day 2 did they?
How about day 3?
Day 4?
And day 5?

So because they had 8 people missing in day 6 then they weren't supposed to qualify. How about prior?

Abeg, no dey expose yourself jare. I no sabi all these kinda arguments sef wey person go see truth no go gree talk am.

Mourinholic:
Imagine having Sturridge and Aguero as your CFs

Na relegation be that na.

airmark:


Or let's see how barca will fare when 8 of their regulars are sidelined by injuries and they face a team like wolfsburg with their munirus and ambalis in action.

At least they have got themselves some goals this season. What has Hazard gotten this season? Even against the worst team ever in Bournemouth, he couldn't do shiit. Abeg leave matter for mathias.

Ohhh my bad, you guys played Bournemouth with your academy players. No?

airmark:
You don't need to edit my moniker in order to escape my response, thats a low from you. You did that because of your twisting my stand. I reacted to what debroslink said below which was senseless, because based on the decline we are supposed not to see any epl team beating a la liga outfit let alone doing it home and away. Below is how debroslink defined epl declining, did it make sense to you too?using a team ouster to define it. Epl is on a decline but not at a ridiculous level some fools here paint it. Man city showed that by beating sevilla, the madrid and barca slayers home and away. The point here is you dont use one team performance to define it.

You are very funny bruv... You mean i actually wanted to escape your response, hence I twisted your stand? Like really? You have been typing some ludicrously annoying stuffs since yesterday but I just turned a blind eye. Why? Because most of you are never tired of endless arguments albeit you are mostly on the wrong side.

Now, leave aside sentiments and tell me the last time an EPL team got itself into the semi finals of the UCL. That's one. Now tell me, when was the last time more than one EPL teams got as far as the quarters? That's two. Now tell me, if EPL has not been in decline since 2012, how come your fourth spot is at risk if any of you guys fail not to make it to the semis? That's three. After answering the aforementioned, now tell me if really EPL ain't in decline.

Now, debroslink saying EPL has been in decline doesn't mean an EPL team wouldn't win a team from La Liga or the Bundesliga. It is just a general view on how EPL teams have been performing over the last 3 years. So, stop that cheap way of using Sevilla as a reference point since City won them home and away, whereas they won Barca-Madrid. You should know better not to use such as yardstick when comparing sides. Or you wanna tell me because Celta won us 4 goals to 1 then Celta can win the Champions League? Of course by your logic one could deduce that, since they won the defending champions. Not to even mention the fact that, this same City happens to be Barça's bîtch. Abeg, them no dey judge ball like that jare.

Whether its being exaggerated or not, EPL is on the decline. Anyone who says such ain't exaggerating anything. It is just a fact at this juncture. Just face it bruv and hope your team and other EPL teams brace themselves and improve. Hyping your league and all wouldn't help a bit.

But if it makes you happy, you can keep hyping your league while we keep winning the trophies.

Those guys are comedians really. My wife had to ask what happened as I was laughing really hard on reading those posts.
Funny enough, when the draw was made then, everyone including me tipped Man U as the group winner as many of them even confessed it was one of the easiest group. Please, tell them. Epl is not in decline but is rather the best and the strongest league in the world with world best players playing competitively to paint the league as the most entertaining one. That's what they love to hear.

If it makes them happy...
