Mike Oliver doing what he does best, and he reminds me of the Madrid Vs Juve. Shit refrees. Little wonder they weren't at the world cup and they have continued their nonsense this season. I'm not even angry about we losing because we never stood a chance. But the referee influencing a game for a already better side is nauseating to say the least.

That was a clear penalty abeg

I just put on the gen to see Tottenham result. Na wa o

Please noh vex o, how many years did it take Ryan Giggs?

Ryan Giggs was not compared to his seniors. No hype, just doing his thing. But hidden, mba

Is there a reason why Mou was sacked and Pep not?

Maybe I know, maybe I don't but the fact is they both spent 2+ seasons in England at same time and won same number of trophies. One of the trophies Mourinho won was even in a competition recognized as almost if not good as the Champions League. In fact that year, Mourinho's team was the second best in Europe, losing to the eventual best team RM. Then he won the English super cup which determines the best team in England.

With these facts, while won the best team in England once, Mourinho did so too and also ended up second best in Europe.

So Chelsea can still be the best team in Europe this season! Come on Hazard!

He had no where to run today

raumdeuter:
So?

So even with Mourinho's very poor performance, Pep didn't perform any better.

I like how you didn't argue the trophies and all that

Party oya gberra

raumdeuter:
How many trophies for Pep?

I think 3 too

raumdeuter:
Champions of midtable = Europa
Champions of top table = UCL

What about champions of Europe?

randomperson:
It's obviously not for losers.. however it's also not for first class team like Madrid, barca or man utd

You guys are confusing me. What's the meaning of the bolded when all they have to do is beat the winner of Champions League and they become best in Europe.

raumdeuter:
UEFA recognizes the winner. Just like the CWC is the intercontinental champion.

Well England recognizes the winner of its super cup, same with Spain.

That's 3 solid trophies for Mourinho while Pep was begging for money to buy players

raumdeuter:
Its the competition for midtable teams and losers, And Sevilla proved that among these midtable and losers from all over Europe they are the best

And it's these losers and midtable teams that are challenging Champions League teams to determine best in Europe?

randomperson:
Yeah, that Europa that includes teams from everywhere... including English and teams

Dayo told us that that competition is for losers. Are you challenging him?

Baba na only EPL you dey follow?

My days of following players from any team that's not in EPL are over bros. At least for now. I don't even bother to find out what's going on in other leagues when we already know the winner before the previous season end sef

We learn everyday. Winning the Champions League means nothing anymore. You still have to win the winner from yorupa to be the best team in Europe. I wonder why FIFA doesn't recognize the winner of that friendly.

Anyways, since the winner of the super league determines the best team in Europe, what can we say about our very own community shield?

raumdeuter:
The 2 winners of UEFA competitions playing to know the best

Does this mean that the Europa league is actually as good as the Champions League? Because winning the Champions League is not enough to be the best team anymore. I remember you have said so many things about yorupa league

raumdeuter:
So what does Euro cup determine

l
What does the Champions League determine?

randomperson:
Uefa super cup is a playoff between the UCL and Europa champions. The two biggest competition in Europe

You mean the team that was sent out of the Champions League because they couldn't qualify from the group or was not good enough to qualify for the Champions League?

raumdeuter:
Super cup is to determine the best club in UEFA competitions
FIFA CWC is to determine the champions of all champions from the federation

What does this National League determine?

Best national teams in Europe na. What else?

raumdeuter:
Yes UEFA and FIFA competitions.

Just like the Europe National League abi what's the name sef?

raumdeuter:
Can you provide us Madrid 2nd team last season? In the past 3 seasons Madrid have won UEFA super cup, FIFA club world cup, La Liga 3 CL

This is a team that has been poor in other competitions o

WTF is UEFA super cup and club world cup ?
Those ones too are competitions lol

raumdeuter:
No he should be insulted for it

Mourinho Raineri Pellegrini and now Pep won the league but are frauds in Europe

raumdeuter:
Isnt Pep the coach who was able to get an EPL title out of Stones, Walker, Otamendi, Sterling?

He should be applauded for doing this? Lol

diadem10:
Yup. Ole already called both up. That was why I didn't mention them.

I'm aware of one traore and Laird who recently moved to the reserve team but I don't know much about them nor do I care right now. Others are just bang average. Barlow is a lil decent though.

On a different note, I would love us to sign Axel zagodou, Dortmund's top CB prospect who's adept in the Lcb role. If not for the signing of Diallo, he would be the undisputed starter beside Akanji. I rate him a lot better than Diallo though cos he's as calm on the ball but better in the air. He's often deployed as a left back to accomodate him but his best performance has always been in the Cb role.

I would still love us to sign Van de beek for the CDM role 'cos Garner is still too young and he had a forgettable performance the last time he played for the first team in a preseason match. I would also love us to trigger Depay's buyback clause however we would need to offload Lukaku and maybe Sanchez.

Ndidi is also a good shout. As a midfield enforcer, he would give us the needed steel 'cos Fred no be it at all. Leicester would likely fleece us. If not Ndidi, then Mdombele of Lyon.

Degea;

O'conor - Lind - Zagod - Shaw;

Ndidi - De beek - Pogba;

Mason/Rash - Depay - Martial.

Although I would love to see Rashford continue his growth as a Central striker.

Who are all these players?

raumdeuter:
4th in La Liga currently and CL topped groups second round vs Ajax

They got an easy group and managed to get an easy team in the second round. Even with that, chopping Ls everywhere

randomperson:
Without Ronaldo he carried his team to world cup final and was awarded the best player in the competition...

Last season at this point Madrid was 14 points behind barca and Ronaldo was there... Madrid have always started LA liga poorly the last couple of years with or without Ronaldo

RM that has been shaky in the Champions League? Please

randomperson:
The world best 2018 is not named Messi or Ronaldo, he is a LA liga player

How is your world best faring now without Ronaldo?

randomperson:
Excuses and excuses...

How come they always have the best players.... Even the best players end up moving to LA liga...

The simple answer is that they are the better league so they attract the better players

Which best players are you talking about? Messi and Ronaldo have been the difference so which other one is there?

randomperson:
Why would you remove Barcelona and real Madrid? Which Kain reasoning be dah one? Omitting Spanish teams in a comparison between English teams and Spanish teams

Why would you remove Barcelona and real Madrid? Which Kain reasoning be dah one? Omitting Spanish teams in a comparison between English teams and Spanish teams

Orisirisi

Because they have the world best players for the last 10 years. Without Messi Barcelona is nothing. RM have received that memo already.

raumdeuter:
Dey deceive yourself there. Maybe teams who were beaten by Barca and Madrid too will say if not for...

Lets say this If not for Chelsea and Manure, in the past 10yrs how many CL will EPL have?

Chelsea and United didn't have Messi and Ronaldo for the better part of the last 10 years.

raumdeuter:
Said what?

Tier 1 competition La Liga dominates
Tier 2 competition La Liga dominates

What else?

In the last 10 years, if not for Barcelona and RM, England would have had 5 ucl while Spain 2, Italy 2.

timbros:
You use to tell people here not to jump into arguments without having all the facts.

I specifically told him Europa is a tier 2 competition and I won't engage him in that.

How many different teams from each league have won the UCL?

Even dayo has said this many times. I wonder why he's still bringing it up
