Una just dey shout camp Nou is bigger Camp Nou is bigger.

Stamford Bridge measures 103 X 67 metres


Camp Nou measures 105 X 68 metres


Camp Nou is just 2 metres longer and 1 metre wider




Na Camera dey just deceive una

LOOOOL.

Camp Nou is bigger by 239 square metres. You are dealing with area here not isolated Length and width calculation.

To put this in context, your typical floor tiles are 1 square metre each. Now arrange 240 of them into a square (15.5 tiles by 15.5 tiles). That is more than enough space to allow penetration from our attackers.

Anyways, you will experience it in less than 3 weeks.

Griffon:
This says nothing.

Chris threw a wayward pass which was within the reach of Cesc. The Spaniard failed to get hold of it cos he was sleeping.

Who gets the blame here?

The Dane who let the egg slip or the Spaniard who failed to catch the falling egg which was right before him?

Be honest with yourself: Flip the script and make Fab, Christensen - he will be blamed. "He should have known not to pass the ball across the box. Christensen did not want to trap the ball in his half. Fab is at fault".

Do same and switch Fab and Azpi and let Fab slide that way, He will take the blame.

In all these, it is suspicious that the player who made the bad pass and the defender without whose mistake, Ini does not get to pass the ball to Messi, are absolved of the blame. But the player who watched the ball roll out is at fault. It is scape-goating.

Nihilist:
Abeggi stop trying to scapegoat the wrong player here

Chris causes the chaos by throwing a useless pass in the first place

Fab moves towards the ball but realises that both Messi and Suarez are pressuring him in the box, so he lets it roll and you can see him pointing to Moses to drop to collect it

Azpi foolishly dives in and misses to allow Iniesta in.

If Azpi stays on his feet Iniesta does not have a free square play.

If Fab had touched that ball, he could have easily lost it in his own box under pressure from two attackers

Chris and Azpi are entirely to blame for this

Endorsed.

LOOOOOOOOOL

Football fans and scapegoating.

Darling Chris gives a horrific pass. Azpi totally scuffs his own line marking Ini.

Fab takes the blame. The one CFC player that probably never misplaced a pass all game.

VivaLaByke:
Chelsea are out.

I know they say don't be over-confident bla bla...But I agree.

They are out!

We need to slow this game down like we did against RM. The pace of the game favors Chelsea.

Tony Stark the illiterate per excellence.

When your life is damaged by pornography, this is what we see.

See this piece of insipid drivel who can't answer the post I put out there or counter it normally aside from insulting my mother.


I know you have nothing upstairs. We all know that. It is a common fact that you just type to increase your posts and give yourself some self worth in that lonely cage you are presently locked up in. See him referencing an archaic and irrelevant post to boost his flagging and sagging ego and asking me to decode what that nonsense means.

I will not stoop to the level of insulting your mother because she is already an insult and a failure to humanity for producing you. She already beat me to it by giving us this mental invalid that is you

You are a sad impostor and a product of our failed collective educational system, so even replying you is damaging my psyche, and reducing my future genetic pool.

Go on and insult.

When you are ready to stop posting rubbish you will let us know. Long boring speeches that do no good except increase the threat of global warming on these pages and give us brain fatigue will not save you from being a stark and stack illiterate.

Each time I give her a rim job that is me contributing to the employment situation in your house.

I swaffelen her while at it. She said that is her favorite type of domestic violence not the one your curmudgeon father does each time he finds stone in his Gari or realizes that he helped make you.

We don't see you racking up posts when you argue about KDB and leave with the same shame you badged in with. You have enough tact to stall for a bit and then come back with a new moniker.

Look at this pusillanimous irritant who goes AWOL each time his team loses. Go on and insult? I am reeling out your eulogy (and word is, this is the best there would ever be).

Because nobody who has ever come in contact with you can say anything better.

NB: Notice I did not mention your bungalow head. That is because it goes without saying. Another take home assignment

Piss off.

BushWickBill:

Portsmouth was a Premier League side at the time.

She is literally the only person in your family I can take sh-t from.

I am sure that line would not dawn on you till the break of day (Ibeeme, 2009).

B!tch, I even reference properly. That is how scholarly I am.

Fall back.

RuffRuggedRaw:
I am still at a loss as to why no one is talking about the challenge on Aguero early in the first half. It was higher and more dangerous than that of Delph and there wasn't even a booking.

Anyhow sha, painful but all good!

They said the ref could not give a straight red because it was too early in the game. So considerate of him.

Kind reminder Fergie said this squad was better than his treble winning squad.

Peep the venue it occurred.

You guys have spoken well. Personally, it was just a bad day at the office. Great response in the second half after going a man down. Couple half chances to win this game easy but their last-ditch blocking of shots was something of legends. Look on the bright side: if that was an EPL team we would have to go the whole week listening to e-diots talmbout "Wigan had city figured out".

We should not really complain about the shove on Bernardo that was worse than what Loveran did against Everton yet one was given a penalty and the other told to keep playing. We should not also talk about the red card today even though City players have been hit far harder (on 2 occasions the players left injured) without any card in most of the occasions. Delph was rash, but the player jumped over the studs. We don't need anyone to Tell us the rationale for giving him a straight red in a season that the FA did not retroactively punish Kane, Alli etc who did far worse.

On a week where Sane was injured via a bad tackle, the media made more noise about Pep's incomplete bench but to some cretins in another thread he is the media's darling. I hope this loss galvanizes the team into the Carabao cup and subsequent games in the EPL. The UCL can go either ways, but if City win it, it will more than make up for the incompetence(s) of the Refs and the FA Cup exit.

SmooshCHN:
If you remember, there was a possession before where Derozan had the ball and decided to play one on one and Giannis turned it over instead of passing to Harden who is more reliable in clutch. And then the Double team where Curry's only option was to pass to the same Choker Derozan..

It's an allstar game. One team played to win, the other played the regular IDGAF all star game at that last minute and keeping leads definitely wasn't on their mind. LeBron up the game and I appreciate it.

Apart from that, Derozan missed one of his free throws in the clutch. Then was pounding ball for long trying to give Giannis an easy put in when he could have shot that easy deuce.

Harden was just bad in the clutch chucking shots with no ball movement.

My own anger was Steph did not care. Trying too hard to be unselfish in a game he should aim to win. Reminds me of the way he was playing when we were down 3-1 to OKC then journalists asked WestBrook about his D and he laughed, and then Steph got aggressive and we beat them 4-3.

Klay came back in the final seconds why not pass to Klay? I won’t even mind if he jacked it up and missed. That is the attitude he is supposed to have. I know it was an all star game but really this passive nonsense that Steph has been playing has lingered all February. He should wake up.

SmooshCHN:
I'm loving the game. No flashy dunks and moves but I'm enjoying it.

Choke.

See Harden and Derozan when it matters.

Then see passive Steph passing to Derozan in a clutch moment.

Curry won’t be this cold all game.

I hope.

I am sure.

#TeamSteph

Miracles happen.

SmooshCHN where are you?

SerVik:
It's generally same with pitches in England.

It makes it very difficult to make use of outlets, spreading the passes and wearing them out. Look at Coutinho's pass to Vidal, for example, In a typical English pitch if you try to change play that way, it either goes out or the players easily regroup due to the pitch size.

It also makes it easier to choke players and limit their ball movement and expression.
Counters on such pitches are also very deadly because with just two quick passes, a player is already face to face with the keeper.

I swearigad. I hate watching us against them at that ground. Without much effort they can face the keeper and it favours a team that will pile up crosses which we would not do as we have no pure target man. Playing through the midfield will be hard as well as they will choke it up that much I am sure. Individual brilliance and nifty defending will be key.

Once we have a platform to play for at Nou Camp, I guarantee they will get bludgeoned. In England only CFCs pitch has remained the small size. Arsenal, United, City, Anfield and now Wembley for Tottenham are big enough. Tottenham had a useless pitch size prior.

VivaLaByke:
Would rather have Paulinho alongside Busi and Andres.

Chelsea won't press like Eibar did,who will be running their counter?

Hazard and Pedro?...Hazard and Willian?...Lmaoooo.

Would rather be afraid of Sisto and Iago Aspas or Oyarzabal and Juanmi on a counter bruv.

Besides,

I won't use our past 2matches to make conclusions for Tuesday..Our boys will turn up.

If Gomes or Rakitic starts...then.

We struggle in Stamford bridge because the pitch is too darn small. I actually want us to respect them a little since they are a home and put work horses in that midfield.

As a result, I would sacrifice Ini in that game and play him in the 2nd leg at Nou Camp where he would have space to create maximum damage.

I would have sacrificed creativity and shouldered it on Messi. Played Dembouz and Suarez just roaming slightly in front of him ('cause we know their whole plan is to rough Messi up) and played ball winners like Pauli, Rack and Busi in that midfield.

I think we better respect the away team. We lost stu.pidly away against Juve and PSG last year that almost made the home games useless. Of course a different coach but this season in the UCL we drew away twice and I think without scoring in both occasions (not sure).

Same way we don't wanna use current form to rate our performance against CFC we should not use theirs as well. We should be measured in our approach. They will pay at Nou Camp for sure.

VivaLaByke:
Guy you suppose know who you go reply to na...Wallahi you get time.

Anyways.

My own be say I no wan see Rakitic for pitch on Tuesday against Chelsea.

Forgive me.

Who do we play instead of him? He has been arse but Conte will clog the central area and try to hit us on the counter.

We have looked susceptible to those of late.

Ibime:
Let's go with Morata upfront. Giroud been hammered 10-1 and 8-2 too many times while playing for Arsenal against Barca.

Telling lies on Sunday.

jamescross:
if conte was not ready to beat barca then chelsea should get someone that knows barca to beat barca.

that was my thought when conte's job was on the line. chelsea fans still have faith in him anyway but barca CL out is still the plan


Enrique had almost the same 11 for 3 years and built the defensive structure he was criticised for that EV is enjoying now and being praised for.

Enrique did not build any defensive structure. In his reign Barca became a counter-attacking team that relied on MSN not the midfielders.

jamescross:
yet he worn 9trophies in 3years while pep worn 10trophies in the same period of time. and they both worn 6 major trophies in 3years.



clap for yourself

Lies. Pep won 13 trophies.

Overrated is an understatement.

Celtic's D that is.

Not too early at all. Cavs look rejuvenated. They are younger and have length themselves so they can easily shake off screens and cover the paint. If OKC plan to jump shoot their way into a W they have a long way to go. The team that enters the paint more will win this one.

Cavs look like they would come out of the east.

The foul RW was tech'ed on and the one he was just given are both non-fouls. He is being marked well by George Hill but Russell's first complaint has forced the refs to dash him 2 FTs.


But..But GSW players complain too much.

Don't see a miraculous come back in this one so Cavs got this.

Back to the drawing board for Brad. This is a snippet of what the playoffs will be like.

Box Bron and JR out and dare George Hill to shoot. He won't be that high up in percentages if he took many shots. Dare him.

The problem I see here are 2 pronged;

Lack of scorers save Kyrie.
No inside presence to force Bron to become a shooter.

The D is good but strangely he is knocking almost everything. Long night if Celts don't stop the bleeding.

Decale:
NBA told coaches to select reserves from the list that had Manu Ginobili and Lonzo Ball

The NBA don't determine the list. Fans, media and other players do.Your own logic has failed you so you have reduced the talk to absurdities.

NBA shoulda selected Ben Simmons above Dragic and Kemba since he's on the list and they weren't. Things I hear

The NBA decides who makes the cut following an injury. Nobody said anything about list with NBA. Present where anyone said so. I'll wait.

You came up with October to December stats, its been trounced

By whom and when? You played yourself. Without OCT-DEC CP3 makes the list easy. CP3 shows your Jan 23 with 10 GAMES blah blah ISSA huge lie.

You came up with a Jan 4th list that coaches used to select reserves, it's been trounced.

Delusion is bliss. Trounced.

Sorry, sorry, this still sounds funny in my head anytime I read it Coaches list vs FIFA's list. Oh my days

They constrain coaches to a vote within a list unlike the original list that players voted themselves etc. To prevent coaches from re-voting starters just to stay neutral. All around the world it is done. If logic amuses sensible men what do you think will amuse non-sensible men?

Now you've come up with the bolded. Not using CP3's injury as a factor to back up Klay Thompson amazing "October to December" 3rd scoring option performances . I have a headache

Preaching to the choir. I am the person who told Devan that CP3 did not make the list for that very reason. That is a player who could have made the list over Klay not PG13. Guess the months CP3 did not play in?

OCT & NOV. He played most of DEC (11) and January(10 before the 24th). ASK THE COACHES WHY THEY DID NOT FACTOR HIS 10 GAMES IN JANUARY or bow to superior logic.

You see why arguing with you is fun? Anybody reading that bolded would curse...

Let me take this small time to just laugh at you.

Anyways, you won't get any other quote from me. We'd just watch your Klay Thompson's All Star performances from here on...

Maggi inside sour soup. Makes no difference to me.

v v v

From your link. Shabbaz Muhammed.

Decale:
This is where you erred and now I'm happy to school you and then drop the Mic.

So I had not been erring since.

There has never been a time coaches used a list to select reserves

I knew you would say this and waited for it. There is no difference between the voting pattern here and what happens in FIFA. They ALWAYS crop the list to synchronise voting or else 5 different players can be tied at the same number. It is a usual voting tool so you are not schooling anyone talmbout Shabazz Mohammed or Seth Curry.

All Star selections start off with the fan vote, that select Starters. Media and Players rank the top vote getters (starters) and NBA gets the weighted average. That's just for starters

Schooling indeed. Redundant.

Coaches choose the reserves from their conferences, never using the rest of the players on the list. If there's an injury, Adam Silver replaces.

LOOOOL

[s]Every player in the NBA that was voted by fans were on that list down to Shabazz Muhammad, who was ranked 52 by the player and media. The NBA from your link just gave the cropped version (Top 10)[/s]...

Goran Dragic and Kemba Walker were not in the cropped version same as Lou Williams but were used as replacements.

By the NBA which has always been the rule. What is the new info here? I already said this in my previous post.

The coaches voted a day before 23rd, one of the earliest reserves announcements ever. Therefore, games played in January (>10 games) were used. Klay was picked by the coaches not for his October - December performances but for his team record prior to January 23rd.

They called you and told you how Pop (leader of the coaches I presume) gave them instructions to vote Klay because of his team's record yet CP3 did not make it for his own team's record. Clap for yaself.

Hin say list before January 1st

Provide where I said "list before Jan 1st"

Now run off and play somewhere to free your mind from the orgasms you thought you had defending Klay Thompson.

Fans did not agree with you. Fans don't know bball.
Media did not agree with you.
Coaches did not agree with you.

You have done a good job pushing the triangle button on your life 'cause you played yourself.

Decale:
Let's see the list the coaches compiled on January 3rd.

Waiting for the list





Higher than Klay Thompson's



Still higher than Klay Thompson's




And higher than Klay Thompson's





October to February: PG13 is better in a winning team
I came down to "October to December" and PG13 is still better in a winning team.

Lemme help you out once more and this discussion is over. Don't have time for your futile posts...

Produce the list or link of the list where the coaches compiled the reserves that were going to be selected on January 4.

Do that and I'm done. Thanks

Oga, no time for wild goose chase. The logic is simple. After player ranks, media ranks and fans rank a list comprising those who will make the list of starters and possible reserves were released.

Starters were asterixed and the rest (reserves or out) to be decided by the coaches and assistants. After that, NBA steps in incase of injuries.

The list is online.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nba.com/amp/league/article/2018/01/18/cleveland-cavaliers-lebron-james-golden-state-warriors-stephen-curry-named

Coaches could not select a name that was not on that list so even if anyone was playing out of their minds from Jan 1-23 it did not matter. Lou Will step aside.

A team coach was not allowed to select his own player. So Kerr and Brown did not select Klay. It was other coaches that did.

Klay has never been known for rebounds or assists so his numbers were effectively an improvement from his previous seasons. His ppg dropped but it was expected now that he gets to shoot the ball 3rd most in his team. I gave fax here no printers.

You said I should kill myself but I won't tell you to do same because the COACHES agreed with me. End of.

SmooshCHN1:
Kevin Wayne Durant is the best player on the Warriors and Wardell Stephen Curry is the most important player on the team.


Y'all can stop with the attention seeking now. We've seen you..

No, forget those ones. To start an argument on their own, decide who is arguing what, then pontificate right after.

Decale:
Oga, just shut up already with this nuisance.

The very first voting results were released January 4th. The starters haven't been decided, so how would the coaches start picking reserves before the starters have been selected?


Is it not after the voting is concluded, reserves get picked based on their form before the January 23rd date?

Your argument is really kindergarten, pshhhhh

You are still rehashing the same canned garbage. We get to know the front runners for MVP waay ahead of the playoffs. Then before, they will usually announce the winner during the playoffs or like they did last season after it, but the period of consideration is during the regular season.

OR

They get to announce the Player of the month for the player's achievements in that month even though the honour is announced and conferred sometimes during the 2nd week of the ensuing month. But the Period used to consider such award is during the previous month.

Again I repeat: The period of consideration for the NBA All-stars is everything that has occurred between Oct to Dec ending. Anything happening after is inconsequential. Every player that made it into the original team (before injuries) were announced Jan 4 on the list. Keep playing first to call post nuisance and then hit submit to post your own.

NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE 3RD SCORING OPTION

Draymond isn't the 3rd scoring option, is playing better than Klay and people aren't making noise about him. If Klay were in Blazers, putting up 20ppg as third option, nobody would give a fvck. NOT ONE!!!!

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

He's in the All Star for one reason: His team record.

Partly, I agree to this and have said nothing less except adding that Lou and PG do not deserve the spot over him because of January.

And as usual, you typed trash

Paul George was in contention for DPOY as early as November. OKC were the 2nd best defensive team up till January.

And here, you're saying his defensive numbers would reduce during that period a lot cos of who? Klay Thompson?

Jesuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

A team can be losing games 80-79 and the individual players and team will have good efficiency ratings defence-wise. I don't also recall saying PGs defensive numbers will reduce but that in that same period Klay's were marginally on par with his save steals and to a lesser degree defensive boards. Let me also add that in the period in consideration PGs numbers in Points were record low (since his 3rd season), assists (low since his second season) and rebounds (since his rookie season).

You know you have no defense when all you say is 3rd scoring

Sure. The coaches are wrong. They selected Iggy in 2012. Klay should outblock KD or Dray, out assist Dray or Curry, outscore Curry or KD, outrebound KD or Dray or outsteal Curry or Dray to be an allstar. So which one is PG doing better than Westbrook? Don't tell me steals because I can use Klay's 3pt shooting as his excuse.

The person having the better season, more still in a winning team. Paul George checked both boxes. Klay Thompson just one

^^^ what you have been trying so hard to argue about even when no one has contended that with you. PG is having a better season. If I have said otherwise show me. But in the OCT-DEC period which was used primarily for the decisions, Klay deserved the all-star spot all things being equal.

Ladies and Gentlemen, he's veered off to another Westbrook topic

Even for you, this is inane. You supported the media when it suited your argument and turned around to rubbish coaches when it does not suit it. I am showing you the illogic. It is going to be off-topic because it is off the tangent you are working with.

Your MCM uses a year old argument that's done to cover up for his weak debates.

HAHAHAHAHA.

Your MCM is obsessed with Westbrook even after he dropped 2Ls on him this season.

Last season how many Ls did he drop? Was I not "obsessed" then. You can pay for school but you cannot buy sense class.

Your MCM is 85

OKAY.

averaged a triple double, had over >10 game winners including the one that took his team to the playoffs and then won the MVP. Kill yourself...

Why would I need game winners when I am blowing teams out? Future GM thinks there is only one way to think.

The joke is on you.

Logic session ended.
