It's the same with Ibrahimovic.. Looks fit, walks around fine but not really fit and not ready

true that...

kelvinze:
who else thinks that pogba might actually play vs Liverpool??

hehehe...I wouldn't lie,that thought has crossed my mind...besides I folo that weyrey pogba on ig,and his fitness videos and stuff doesn't really depict someone whos really injured..but I don't think he'd play

diggz:
I don't even bother myself with such songs bro...I won't lie to you. Na majorly Rick Ross I dey listen to for this era.

lol..you know all dx naija songs,one way or the other you must listen..either in clubs,bars hotel or tv sef..but for now Kendrick and j Cole are my niqqas

diggz:
You mean when you hear an actual rap song, and not the sing -rap songs right ? I have given up on that....I just dey enjoy my reggae,dancehall and afro music dey go for now.

hehehe..exactly..imagine someone like French Montana calling himself a rapper..I just listened to leg over remix which featured him and major lazer,at least he didn't rap there,just sang and it was ok..

Nihilist:
I don't think reasonable doubt and illmatic are conscious albums.

Are they?

in a way,it depends on d level of consciousness attacvhed with it,whilst some might b so hardcore,others might b a bit reduced..reasonable doubt was a very decisive moment in jays life,if the album had failed he'd have become an el chapo full time..I guess I see the definition of "consciousness" in different light and perspective..to me it doesn't necessarily have to b about the struggle and oppression of the black race..once a good story is told and a struggle is seen,Id love it....
or mayb I'm just sick and tired of listening to this trap beats which these new school rappers just talk about drugs cash and hoes without really saying anything..hover said it."they all sound the same" can't even tell who's who..so mayb when I hear sumthing diff from the normal songs,it now becomes conscious to me..

Nihilist:
Because they do conscious rap? Is that definition of rap these days?

If skills sold, truth be told, I'd probably be lyrically Talib Kweli
Truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
But I did 5 mill I ain't been rhyming like Common since

- Words from a Top 5 don.

in a way,I'd guess I'm a bit biased cos I love conscious rap more..that's d thing with it,it never gets old..that's y if you look at the best rap albums of all time its mostly conscious like reasonable doubt,makavelli ,illmatic,et al..I'm not sure I'd love to listen to a drake song he did like 3 years ago,heck I wouldn't even want to listen to hotline bling now,the fact is that there would b more "drakes" in the future and his songs are often enjoyed in the moment,but with time it bores you,but a conscious rap music with a bit of good melody gets you everytime..

drake is very versatile and commercial and credit has to b given to him for packaging himself well,but music in the end balls down to individual preference,that's y I personally love Kendrick..

diggz:
He sang in how many songs again? Even snoop dey sing too burr Drakes own is on another level. Imagine when future is listed as a rapper All this y2k rappers suppose dey list of r n b artist left to me.

Omo...maybe I am just too old school, burr the Drake I know is as much a rapper as Nelly, and I never considered Nelly to be a rapper to be sincere.

you're right bro,drake is one of the greatest artists of his generation,but if d subject is rap,then in this time he comes no where close to k.dot..Kendrick is on another level..he's a liberator of the mind like shakur..

I think most of these new school rappers lack d basic and understanding of what rap should mean..
notable mentions in this generation,j Cole.ab souls..logic

joeace2020:
Yea it's a great goal. Not really into the Messi hype though but finally he has learned that with Argentina, he has to be completely selfish and do it on his own. I was keeping tabs on the other games from the USA group and following live reactions as the other games that would have doomed Argentina where going on. It was just great to see the reactions everywhere especially thr one Panama qualifies for playoffs at the expense of a USA nobody was considering would fall out in that spectacular fashion. Seems electing a bad leader is affecting every facet of their life as a country. In fact in some forums there were claims the mexicans rolled over to get Honduras through because of their hate for Trump.

feel sorry for USA sha,was really looking forward to watching pulisic at d world cup..

joeace2020:
The international break might be boring but its moments like yesterday/this morning that makes it more passionate than all the EPL/UCL hype..What a crazy end and what scenes of joy and unexpected tears

mehn that messi 3rd goal was just magical..I wonder if i would see a better player in my lifetime

Machini:
Yes, he was good. However, Ashton Kutcher did a great job too.

Ashton was just meh..his jokes always seemed forced,at least to me..Charlie is just a weyrey..I even read that some of his lines were actually original and improvised..it wasn't scripted..2. nd d half men was never d same as Charlie left...
I also liked Jake when he was really little

sinizia:
That midfield needs someone that can help the team to defend when we're under barrage of attacks, Mhiki is lazy to do that. We need someone that can balance his attacking outputs with a bit of a defensive one, and Mhiki is hardly the name that readily comes to my mind for that job.

one thing with mourinhos team over d years,when he's away to a rival,he's always on d defensive,but he always sets up his team to have fast attackers on the counter,and micki ticks that box..we all have agreed here that micki thrives when the opposition gives space,and that's what Liverpool would do..

chrisley024:
My main concern with Miki is the rate at which he loses possession and in a high intensity game which we're expecting on Sat will probably increase.

you're probably right,but another fact to consider that he's one of d few players in our team who have that bit of magic to win games,we know mou won't start martial,so if martial and micki are not on d bench,where is the game changer?

sinizia:
If Coutinho fit injure as well, I'll be very happy. This Fellaini injury dey pain me die. I was hoping for a Matic-Fellaini-Hererra midfielder tripod with Mhiki benched, but the goddamned Martinez went and played Fellaini in a useless game after the team had qualified. Killing needs to be legalised, seriously.

micki benched?? the only midfielder we have who can run and move with the ball? yes he's had a dip in form but I sure as hell won't bench him and I don't expect mou to

joeace2020:

hehehehe...that "stranger" is doing the lords work

Leyqute:
Mourinho will likely pick Rashford over Martial to start because the former will chase and mark more than the later.

He's going to approach the game with caution, and cater more to defense than attack.

We've seen this happen in the past.

lol...now you're talking....and yes,miki to start is also sure so its going to be a quartlet of rashford micki lukaku,then either of Mata or lingard

SAMBHOSS:
this GIFTED has an 8.9 rating
pheew....okay laa

oga its now at 6.9 o

bolliejay:
l replaced De Bruyne with Sallah Made Lukaku captain instead of Kane...........What a Bad Week!

hehehe,kpele at least it was coutuinho I replaced him with..and to think I kept faith in him since..even when they scored 6 against Watford he still didn't give assist...
I must find a way to accommodate Kane and lukaku in my team oo

^^^^
keep on the good work Brah..

mehn I had a bitter sweet week,after enduring debruyne this season,I decided to sell him this weekend,imagine how I felt with him scoring and being the motm,but the consolation was that it was coutinho I replaced him with..

then in defence mourinho with his mind games and tricks made me bench Jones,but thank goodness its lowton I used to replace him..so its still ok

lukaku..smh that's how my triple captain went

hehe so mou is a Kendrick Lamar fan who knows when to b "humble"..
.any ways I don't expect tonight's game to b easy at all,Russia is not an easy place to play and we shouldn't forget that cska beat benfica away so the team must b really good..
I'm expecting a winning margin of 1 goal or a draw...I'm not really expecting us to play "entertaining footie" this night..it would just b a typical mourinho performance

Leyqute:
If we don't play poorly we will beat Liverpool at Anfield, even if we set up to defend. It's a matter of playing direct football, attacking whenever we have the ball and not soak up too much pressure.

playing "poorly" is realative,if we set up to defend,we must surely b under pressure,matches like that are determined by d finishers..cos any chance we get needs to b buried.funny enough we might win at anfield and drop points in Portugal..even d game at d weekend would have ended withouth d fans having a mini heart attack if lukaku and Herrera had buried those chances

Leyqute:
Our next 4 games:

27 Sep - Champions League Group stage
CSKA Moscow vs 7:45 PM (A)

30 Sep - Premier League
Crystal Palace (H)

14 Oct - Premier League
Liverpool (A)

18 Oct - Champions League Group stage
Benfica (A)


12 points. ?

12 points? I think 10 would b very realistic,but I'd b ecstatic if we pick the 12,but you do know we are going to b defensively setup in anfield right

JayKayMaybachz:
You just been so effing negative.

Tha fvck is so wrong with y'all. Even the manager has reiterated that our play yesterday wasn't cool at all. But we got the 3 points we needed. Let's wait until the end of the season before we crucify Mou. Damn!!

I'm sure its becos they c mcity scoring anyhow,not knowing that it isn't always going to b like that...in this marathon league there are going to b ugly wins...
its just sad about some comments we see here

sinizia:
Kingtom, if I had the time and skills, I'd have dug out my posts on that particular match. I think Lana1 complained on that day too but we won the match. If I get chance, I'll try to find out the exact match.

bro I'm sorry to say,but Manchester united isn't d first team mou has managed..every body in life or certain professions have an ideology about how things work for them..
there is a saying that different roads lead to the market..
right from mourinhos day at inter,Porto and even Madrid,mou always had that philosophy of being defensive against top sides away from home..even when he was at Chelsea in his second stint when faced against moyes of all people,he still defended at old Trafford without a striker first...
he has a method of doing things overtime that has helped him become one of d best coaches of his generation...even when he had d full attacking talents of Madrid at his disposal,he still defended against big sides away..now I'm not trying to say that I love defending,but since its mourinho we bought,there are certain things to be expected..you can just hope to just get the trophies and winning mentality from him without his usual defensive awareness..
just to give you a heads up,expect this kind of performance against the top teams away this season..its not as if its today we started watching him..
you read excerpts from his post match interview and he clearly stated how it was d direction of the game in which it was going that made him alter his strategy...

in a storm,do you prefer to just continue sailing and hope d storm dies? or you adjust your sails and try to sail your way through..

to b honest this constant bickering of fans complaining of mou defending at times is just frustrating to see...
some united fans are still deluded that this is the fergie era.

Ibime:
Thunder go fire Pep for benching Jesus. He should just leave him on that bench, eediot.

I swr..better thunder oo and his generations would remain bald..and to think I sold azpilixueta dx weekend to upgrade my midfield..

village pipo using mirror to see me in hd

bigkesh:
Matic's goal for Chelsea was nominated for Pukas and that is a L for Chelsea fans

When God wants you to dance to the tune of shame,he takes away your sense.

hehehe...

whom d gods want to kill,first they take wisdom

PietroRico:
what impresses me most about him is not even his dribbling.
'drimblers' full everywhere these days.
It his awareness and passing ability. The boy knows how to hit a ball too.
Its just a shame that he is just so slight in frame.
Until that improves he can't be too involved with the fist team

bro if I had not seen this your comment,I'd have sworn on my life that it was me that typed it..

you took everything from my mouth...its not d dribbling I was looking at self..its the basic things like his ball control and passes...not just the ability to give passes but giving it at d right time..he doesn't delay..he just needs to grow physically

KINGOFJAPAN:
The making of a mob anyone?

I just saw it this morning,I think I'm going to give it a try

dubylhover:
I remember I once recommended goliath here...billy bobs acting was just top notch,tho I feel the end was a bit rushed...

handmaids tale is what I'm loving currently..the lead actress should b given an Emmy

totally deserved it

Oothman:
yea but I thinkthink westworld should have had fair share of the award. Aside Fringe, and Hannibal, it is the only series that has dialogue that is beyond my comprehension. Just so philosophical

yea westworld should av gotten an honorary mention..but the handmaids tale is just too good..I remember when I said the lead actress deserves an Emmy for her performance..she always potrayed different emotions with her face..she's too good..I'm glad she won best actress

SIRcumalot:
We could sign him;then loan him to at.madrid for the rest of the season,obviously he can't play against in the UCL.
I suggest this because there is a rumoured Clause in his contract that kicks in this january for around 100million,if true,na the best time to sign am be that,throw in Mata to sweeten the deal.

unless so but if its to buy him and use him,then its unlikely to happen

Oothman:
The Hands maid Tale just swooped up Emmy Awards.Its so unfortunate that westworld came at the same time.

y won't it swoop up all d awards....that's d one of the best things on tv this year
