nateevs: Hehehehe. Genuine top class midfield pass from JT. Hazard overplays.
That was funny.

you saw that too?

oh boy. see goals from all angles.

Ba scores.

nateevs: Certainly not the finished article yet. JM has confirmed he is going on loan.
In one or two years, he could be a top player.

See counter by Wallace. I like the boy already.

Yes, I agree with that.
I saw it. Impressive

Ramirez! Emphatic!

Chelsea 2 up!

wallace! off the post!

aaaaaa. close. Chalobah!

Ba too dey fall. na wa oo.

nateevs: I though I was watching alone. Have you been seeing his touches and forward-play passes?

hehe, I dey here o bros.
The boy dey try but I'd like him to be a little more composed. Not a finished article yet.

Moses na funny guy.lol why is he falling?

nna see van dammes wannabes for inside box. lol. Penalty to Chelsea.
Eden Hazard scores.

Good 1-2 play between Moses and Eden. nice.

na which kind pitch be this sef?

Chalobah. see pass. chei!

Ramirez wwwat!

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]Peter Kenyon and his set of hindsight scouts must have been hitted off sense.

I never watched Kakuta at Lens, i never knew how good he was, but if he could falter at different grounds on loan then he must have been overrated while at Lens.[/color]

you never watched him play in his natural position or anywhere for that matter and you are yarning beanflakes and moimoi. my friend, siddon somewhere jare.

This is from CFCOWS: Kakuta also spent last season on loan at Vitesse, where he made 22 appearances and played a crucial role in helping the club secure Europa League qualification.

nice thread. subscribing

Guitarlife: Thanks for your response and I will surely consider your suggestion.

All the very best.

Uncle Carlo as I used to call him getting off a good start. Like that!

That was some crackers from KDB! legend in the making?

Why must Moses always stop when he receives the ball? se dondon ni?

Traore na Chelsea boy na. which one be trialist.lol. anyways he will be tormenting defenders in a season or two. Chelsea got that one right imo.

me I think say even pre-season never start sef . make we reach america. ibe ni ise ti bere.

Guitarlife: I am most grateful for your response. My attraction to Russia I can say stems from the ease of obtaining the Russian student visa compared to german and finland. Like I said initially, I intend to study for the Ph.D and return back to Nigeria cos the field of Electrical Engineering has got so much potentials especially as a Ph.D holder. I am not really keen on using Russia as a gateway to Europe or even settling down there. I just need an opportunity that will guarantee my Ph.D in the shortest possible time and in a recognised University. if you think I am misguided please, kindly correct me. Thanks once again for your time.

Not at all man. I understand your desire and position but remember that easy does not always mean good neither does expensive mean brilliant.
See, living and studying in an "open" society like Germany or Finland creates (in most cases) opportunities even beyond what might be thinking at the moment. Whereas,in a "closed" society like Russia, you might find some limitations. heck, students in Russia are officially NOT allowed to work. Someone said it has changed but I don't think so. And I can't really vouch for the standard of education now. Before it was better.
But, well, its your choice and since you already know what you want, just go for it. sometimes the harder it is, the sweeter the reward.
Think and decide wisely!

Guitarlife: Oh!! what a life saver you are. Thanks for your time. Well, I am considering Russia just like you said because of the cost. For my discipline, Electrical Engineering I also think its a good place to study but you have raised a rather serious issue which I have overlooked. I intend to study in an English medium University, does that mean I still have to study for a language preparatory course for 9 months too before starting the Ph.D programme proper ? And about the Gubkin University that you said, I am highly interested . Kindly link me up with that your pal. But is Gubkin also in moscow ? I just need all the information i can get. Thanks.

Personally, I'd say look elsewhere. Germany, Finland. Those countries are more affordable than Russia (Moscow) but that's my opinion.
To answer your question, yes Gubkin is in Moscow and popular too. My pal is a chemical engineer (whatever that is. lol) at Gubkin for his Ph.d.
There are not that many schools offering Phd programmes in English in Moscow but you just have to search. Still, learning the language will help in adapting to the country.
Anyways, I found this school in Tomsk (think Siberia) and their website indicates that they offer Phd in English

Also, you can check my [url=africansinrussia.com/forum/index.php?topic=347.0]website/forum-Africans in Russia[/url]. There, I have a list of Universities in Russia (ranking wise) feel free to browse through, contact the school. And if you have questions,ask, if I can, I will answer you.

Guitarlife: Hey guys I need help. I am seriously considering going to Russia for a Ph.D Electrical Engineering programme. The reason is that it is cheaper than the West and for a faculty like Electrical Engineering, i will be exposed to the best standards.i am however disturbed at the stories I keep hearing about Russia. Everybody seems to be saying something different. PLease i need people who have studied or are studying in Russia to help me.
Where is the best place to study for a programme like Ph.D electrical engineering.
I do have support from home and I do not plan to stay after my study. i just want to earn the Ph.D and move back to Nigeria.
In terms of cost and exposure and living expenses, which schools can I target to give the best experience. i do not want to study in Russia o . Though i donot mind learning the language. Kindly direct me all. I am 26 years old now and have B.tech and M.ENG Electrical Engineering from two different Nigerian Universities, Thanks.

But why Russia? cant you go somewhere else? just asking though.
Anyways, the BEST city in Russia in terms of EVERYTHING (though some may say St. Petes)is Moscow . I dare anyone to refute this. You can check my siggy, so I now what I'm saying.
And so to answer your question, the best place for your Ph.d is yep, Moscow.
keep in mind 3 things though
1. Langauge (you MUST learn it and you are looking at 6-9 months)
2. Its more expensive in Moscow than almost anywhere else. Education on the other hand is cheaper compared to the UK or US
3. A close pal of mine is currently doing his Phd at Gubkin so if you are seriously interested, let me know so that I can make enquiries for you.

On the other hand, just google universities in Moscow. them plenty. make your choice and you can as well contact the schools directly.

nitlad: I thought Essien was decent yesterday - tidy.

But I'm not sure we can bank on that all season against far more credible opposition and not some arrangee 11 - all of whom have at least 3 daily jobs!

but that same arrangee 11 beat manure na
Essien was decent even last season and he played in several positions for Real. I mentioned it here then.
But I agree that we can't bank on that all season. Either one or 2 players will step up to provide that steel or we will see a new face.

usbcable: no mind dem.

comparing Man and Mou.

anyways hows the bridge? and the Happy one

we good. so far everyone is smiling and may it be always so!

nateevs: Essien I believe was one of the sharpest in the first 45. He really has gained some fitness back.
KDB was brilliant and totally run the show. Stand out player on the day.


Meanwhile JM has confirmed Wallace is going on loan. Though only after a game, I really liked the look of the boy. Sharp, direct and has a football brain.

yes he mentioned visa issues. The boy looks sharp though.

As for the steel in the middle - maybe JM is looking at Essien/Mikel combo? we've done this before right?
Either way, I believe we need 2 more players.

walahi let him come 'cos I know he will want to prove moyes wrong. That's enough to fire ANY player up.
he'd like to do some hooobiiii in moyes face

3 questions though- for how much, what does he bring to the table and is this some crazy stunt by JM?

There are sooooooo many dimensions to this.

Happy Birthday Mandela!

Ramirez, football sense not that much but energy is near endless!

Andre Uweh: As a Chelseafc subscriber, am allowed to watch it on my lappy but it isnt working and am too far away from my TV at the moment.

what OS is your lappy on, shaiiit OS?! lol!
just kidding man, me just dey cool mood na one book wey I dey read dey make me laugh no vex

come oh, na this same singha beat manure?

So pre-season very much in motion!

nateevs: It's largely the same except Lamps is not playing. Ramires is in.


Schurrle, Essien and Wallace have looked the sharpest over the last 15 mins.

yep you right on that!

this is what I see on the CFCOWS abi things don change ni?

The Chelsea team is expected to line-up in the following 4-2-3-1 formation:

Petr Cech; Wallace, Tomas Kalas, John Terry (c), Ashley Cole; Frank Lampard, Michael Essien; Lucas Piazon, Kevin De Bruyne, Andre Schurrle; Romelu Lukaku
