I don't think so. Sevilla were clearly a more tactical side, moving the ball with patience and intent. Liverpool were just throwing long balls which got no where.
When you go two goals down in a final, you hardly recover nor have any tactics anymore.

I'm certain Liverpool would have murdered them in cold blood if they had gone two goals up. (Klopp is a master counter attacking coach)

Shout out to Sturrige for making that goal offside, and the Liverpool clown who made the assist for the third goal. smiley

karma never sleeps!... When same thing happened to villareal at d semis, no Liverpool fan complained...... The ref didn't stop u from scoring during the second half. Or did he ask liverpudlians to park the bus during second half

After leaving Glo I realized what quality can bring to the table that you wouldn't get with quantity.

Happily, Airtel now offers the same 1.5gb Glo used to punish me with. tongue (And the data deduction on Airtel seems normal these days)
Imagine begging someone to help you download music or app when you have over 1gb on your phone sad

How many smartphones was sold from 2000 to 2006huh How many was sold from 2006 till datehuh

Symbian was good and Nokia dominated with it at some point, why did Nokia lose the market then to ios and Android phoneshuh

Because they didn't give consumers what they want, simple... This is business my friend, you gotta know when the to make that transition to suit customers need, also Nokia didn't improve on their smartphone features and design till they started windows phone and their touch screen phones have alot of problems, I have used tons of them...

But don't forget, what gave Android a huge leg up was that it is open source and very programmer friendly way better than symbian..
You did bring up a good point of symbian being slow, but remember the generation that uses smartphones alot and its featurez are younger generations... They want fast stuffs and Android and ios gave it to them... Andriod even went far as being open source given them the power to basically saying, take this and tweak it as you please... Majority of apps work well with Android and ios and Nokia failed to realize this..

Do you know that samsung had a different os at some pointhuh But they switched to Android really quick

Okay my point is that Nokia had a major share in the market but customers taste changed and they didn't modify their products and tweak it to please the customers but when they did, it was too late for them ...

Don't thank me my friend, we all learn everyday...

Cheers!
I wonder how old you are, to have made these ignorant comments.

Not 2006! Symbian still shipped several millions till 2011, and was still the market leader till sometimes around then.

Who told you Symbian was not programmer friendly?

Nokia touch screen had problems?
The same Nokia reputed for having one of the best hardwares on the market?

Maybe you are talking about their resistive displays which was the mainstream screen used by everyone then.
But they transitioned to the Capacitive screens anyway, and they have always had great touch screens, from Symbian to windows phone.

Samsung was a relatively small dog in the phone market then anyways, but kudos to them for becoming the biggest player.

It doesn't matter if they started it in1857 A.D grin grin my point is that Nokia failed to transition with the market..

Whatever Nokia was doing since 2000 obviously was not working out..
Reason it, smartphones didn't actually pick up like that till 2006 going forward and with the iPhone release in 2007... Other mobile phone makers went to their drawing board really quick to catch up with them but Nokia stayed on the same spot and refuse to change...

Do you know years back some Nokia Engineers became upset about the company's backwardness that they started their own mobile phone companyhuh I can't think of the name now but Google it, I am not your Secretary grin grin cool
You don't even know what you're saying.

What Nokia did wasn't working?
grin

Use that google to check how many shipments of Symbian was made before even 2011, when they still had the largest smartphones marketshare globally.

'Smartphone' was almost synonymous with Nokia/symbian before 2009.
And please smartphones didn't just take off.

The difference between feature phones and smartphones were as clear as daylight.

Symbian phones are almost as capable as your Android phones of 2016, the only major difference is speed.
Symbian even had a better multitasking platform than android.
VPN, Push mails, HD games, Document editor, you name it, Symbian had it all.

Symbian was no joke my friend!

Not even only Symbian.
Blackberry, Windows mobile, Palm OS, Web OS etc.

I take it you are ignorant about this scope, so stop pushing it. smiley


I agree they made the wrong move going with Microsoft, but stop saying Nokia wasn't a major smartphone maker.

Nokia flopped big time on smartphones.... They made the same mistake Kodak made, Kodak is now bankrupt... grin grin

When Nokia had the huge chunk of business in the mobile phone world( majority in Africa, south and central America and Scandinavia countries).. They did not capitalize on that and transistion to smart phone business, they waited too long and when they did it, they used their operating system instead of Android but the train have already left the station....
I wish them the best though...

Nokia 3310 and Nokia touch the best phones I ever used grin grin grin
I hope you know that Nokia started smartphone business since 2000 or thereabouts?

Or you don't know what smartphones are.....

REASONS WHY I WANT TO PORT TO AIRTEL
1= i can browse free on airtel using Internet.org just imagine; av been on Nairaland since morning with my dads airtel sim without a single MB.
2= MTN are no longer honest with their data plans. Imagine my 1.5g finishes within 2 weeks without even downloading a movie.
3= MTN automatically subscribe users to services. I migrated to ipulse recently and recharged #150 only to wake up with #26 bal. When i called 180 they said i was being charged for music plus which i have no idea of.
These are the reasons i can think of for now. U can add yours.

This ear piece matter don taya me..

What gets me irritated is after spending so much money to buy an ear piece in reputable outlets; likes of SLOT, Callus Miller etc, they still go bad in less than 2 months..

The piece that comes with a phone still remains the best bet..


Even the SLOT!! Twice I bought BlackBerry ear piece from their outlet @ Sani Abacha Road for #3000 each.. I didn't use any up to 3 months cry..

No be still same SLOT sell me yeye laptop?
You probably squeeze/mishandle them.?

Na person wey no sabi Alaba Int'l na im dey buy rubbish earpiece. Buy either NEC or SENNHEISER, before na #300 but na #400 now because of dollar. The product is nice. And the wire lasts. I just bought this one three months ago when I lost the last one.
#400 for original earphones?

I presently use a SENNHEISER I bought for that sort of price, but it's clear the sound quality isn't the best, and it doesn't match my Samsung and Nokia earphones I've previously used.

Original SENNHEISER are damn costly.

You know well I'm no fan of LVG but I don't support this nonsense from De gea. This has Mendes( De gea's agent) all over it. He's trying to force our hand into certainty in signing Jose and this is not a bad thing but he's going about it the wrong way. Players shouldn't possess that kind of power especially in determining the fate of a manager. Player's having that much power hardly end well; see what happened at Chelsea for example.
DDG is the best keeper in the world now, but people still rate Manuel Nuer higher (A champions league basket in key matches), just because he plays for a world class team.

Would you continue working for a firm if you felt they were holding back your I career?

I already knew DDG would move if LVG remained anyways.

FFS, he should have been be playing in a champions league final on May 28, and just look at it, he won't even get the chance to compete for it next season in united.

That guy loves united, cos most players would certainly leave, and don't forget he's the biggest superstar on this team.

Lol this got me laughing. But it really hurts to be swindled by those network operators. Loaded #300 around eleven last week Wed as part of the credit i would use to sub for the #500 for 750mb and slept off with the mind that i would get the remaining #200 to buy the airtime from my mum. Woke up the next morning to discover only #35 remained. Quickly checked through my phone to see what could have caused that and couldn't Find a single thing my data connection wasn't on and no call was made or msgs sent.

steveneche:
The night plan is real but the data is not up to 500mb mb as mtn claimed. After staying awake like a wizard til 12 midnight, i was disappointed eventually. I started browsing by 12:00am sharp and by 12:45am, my data had already disapeared.
This was how i caught dem red handed: i created a single folder for all my downloads n made sure i browse no other website except tooxclusive.com(its a music website n a very light website as does not comsume mb compared to facebook that reloads per seconds).
By my calculations, i was able to download 205mb worth of music. So i take it that 45mb was taken for browsing the website making it a total of 250mb n nt 500mb as claimed by mtn. What a scam!
If you used any browser other than Opera mini, then I must tell you, that site is likely very heavy.

Try browsing some sites with a nice browser and see 100s of megabytes vanish in a flash.

When Jonathan pulled back from fuel subsidy removal in 2012, I told my friend that Jonathan would make a very bad president.
So instead of the PDP guys to ask for apology for him, they should instead hang their heads in shame and apologise to Nigerians for producing him as president.

Good leaders don't listen to what the people say. They rule according to their own vision of what is right. They refuse to be arm twisted or cajoled, because they realise that, in the end, the buck stops at their desk .

In Baronness Margaret Thatchers first year in office, as British Prime Minister, she carried out reforms which forced civil servants to call a general strike that lasted for six full months. That strike did not make her change her mind. The people called her all sorts of names, but she didn't give in. Her reforms changed Britain for good and they are enjoying the fruits of those reforms today.

That is effective leadership.
That wouldn't happen in this 21st century friend. (except in a military regime)

Good technical players would always look excellent in LVg system.
Only the average and the brainless one fails.
I've watched majority of Schneiderlin Southampton clips on youtube and all it was about were his tackles, aggression, energy and the odd goals. His passing skills, dribbling and techniques in crowded space were quite average. What do you expect when he's playing in a team which often encounter opposition that allows limited space due to their high pressing and defensive tactic?
As a matter of fact, Schneiderlin has displayed his southmpton performance for us whenever he gets deployed as a box-box CM. Hence, you can't say anyone has ruined him.
There's also Di Maria, a brainless failed winger at Madrid converted into a makeshift box-box CM to gain some reputation and everyone thinks he's a worldclass already.
How bout Depay? Another Ryan Babel who was already playing shite for his national team even before we got him.
And Herrera, the spanish Cleverley who only knows how to make horizontal 5 yard passes.
If the players are good enough, nothing would stop them from showing how good they are. Do you think talented players playing for small clubs who park the ball all game would fail to show their quality? How do you think we got Roy Keane etc?
If I was a mod, I would ban your IP!

A coach that bought these 'brainless' Di Maria and 'shite' delay with a combined almost €100m euros deserves another chance to waste money?


That was how Liverpool fans were mocking their team for being filled with Deadbeats, but alas, Klopp has made some of the scorned ones look so good.
