Can we all laugh in F Major please
RA pressed the panic button when it could have been avoided.
Forget Enemalo and Co. The owner should know better. How much I would like to see his face now

Hope say Ba is OK sha. Every other thing is secondary!

He is good!

An entertaining game it was.

dayokanu: Yebariba swagga swagggaaaa

Rafa benitez for President Torres for Vice President

What was the gap from the top when Benitez was hired whats the gap now

Tores another wasted 90mins Meanwhile players like Adam Le Fondre keeps scoring

Where is debo. I want him to explain how Rafa fixed the back line.

And where is Ibime to blame this on Mikel again.

I don talk my own, RA shot himself in the foot. Nothing is going right at the moment.

Goodnight folks.

debosky: *Singing*

NTA Channel 10 the station for the nation.

lol. a terrible channel you know that right.

Madrid should have won this game especially in the first half. So many wasted/missed chances. but all in all a draw was probably the right result.

Callejon should berra to sit up.

Essien just dey impress me sha. made life difficult for mess and co.

Second leg awaits.

Well. what can I say. Sh!!!t happens.

se debo say na only useless goal Walcott fit score.

Henderson got peed on you guys.

GOAL!!

Havilah93: i was wondering too....


...and actually the other matches are not as interesting, i think

Dont mind the guy. people just like to post for the sake of it. Keeps them high I guess.

As per other matches, the Arsenal vs Liverpool is interesting.

And the Classico picked up towards the end of first half. Its half time there too now sha.

Hakim27: watching arsenal v liverpool...won't waste my time with chelsea match

you came here to tell us that?

Mata. GOAL!. Player of the season!

Havilah93: na wah ooo


i hope bertrand is playing rubbish as usual

actually he is trying. its just the team generally.

Havilah93: is it that bad?

terrible is an understatement.

37 mins gone. no goals yet.

hope oscar is ok.

30 mins and I'm still not sure if na football match I dey watch.

henderson. na so them dey play football. rubbish.

aribisala0: i say wetin be de link

pick your choice here

This match sef na wa. The boys are yet to wake up.

Afam4eva: Why not watch the greatest. is there any match-up that can be better than the two giants from spain? I can't even believe you're here. Big boys are playing and you're follow chelsea and reading. SMH

watching the Classico and nothing worthy of mention is happening there. Save 2 yellow cards and play acting.

even the Arsenal vs Liverpool match is far more interesting to watch right now.

So far them boys are just running around.

Can they please keep the score line this way?

Free kick to Real and yellow for Piq

Will Daniel ever learn?

but what a pass from Suarez. perfect.

baronsmith: I know this , and I also know ukraine is not an EU country at the moment, I just want to know my chances of crossing from Belarus to Ukraine maybe after a years study in Belarus . I really apreciate your contributions ....thanks

Crossing from Belarus to Ukraine? Sorry you lost me here. Why?
You can actually hit Ukraine directly instead of from Bel to Ukraine.

To answer your question, it all depends on your intention but yes, going from Belarus to Ukraine is almost like going from Lagos to Abuja. You can reach it even by bus e.g from Brest to Lvov but you will need visas for both countries even transit sef.

Hope you get my drift.

Oh what a country! if we can actually call it that!!!

debosky: Why will anyone want to come to a club that destroys the careers of young players? Una just dey buy players all over the place and send them on loan, so what is the benefit to the player involved?

NTA channel 10. I ask you ni? And its not like you guys are producing anything so lo jo ko si bi kan jare.

nateevs: It's an embarrassment at this point.
I can't blame the poor boy.
Most likely he will not play or will get sent on loan to other clubs.

We even have a bigger problem regarding Courtouis. Rumours flying around now that Barcelona want him.
We could be losing one of the finest young GKs around whilst still having only Turnbull.

To say it is an embarrassment is an understatement. Can't remember the last time such happened to Chelsea. The signs written on the wall if things continue this way ain't cool at all.
I can't blame them boys though. It's their future so they have to be smart about it.

Even Jack Butland has refused to come to Chelsea. Just saying.

So no backup goalie cos that guy from Middlesbrough..hmmm na keeper at all?

Courtoius wants to stay another season at Atleti meaning na only Cech dey. It is well.

nateevs: You talk of "as of today" - using benefit of hindsight - when in-fact the decision was made at the beginning of the season. (This is no an admission on my part that this decision is wrong). I too don't want to get into a Torres argument. I am only interested in defending the Essien situation and I hope I can without being dragged into an over flogged debate.
Essien earns over 5m a year. Madrid pays a fraction of that which the club has offloaded. Although I don't know how much of it they pay, one can say that considering months later, the club posted a profit for the first time in the Roman era, it was a justified decision. A decision that will help the club in the future as it's likely we post a trading loss again as a result of being kicked out early from the CL this season.
On having 22 players out on loan. It's not the first time and clearly a result of a failed system.
Firstly, our penchant for firing managers means that newly appointed ones will not give chance to experiment and youth players. The refusal of young players to come back did not start today. Many players could have played cameo roles in the past. they were never allowed.
The safe thing to do is to write the season off. Hopefully the players on loan are on loan for a good reason. I do not disagree with you on the squad size. It's a point I have stated on here many times. If it gives any consolation, Benayoun's back.

Whoever made those decisions (both) at the beginning of the season was drunk on stale oguro. so lets leave it at that.
I fear for the way and the direction the club is going especially now. Not because things are exceptionally not right and firing managers aside (we will benefited from some of the outrageous decisions RA made) but, if the owner does not believe in the set-up then I'm afraid, there is NO set up. No system. Well except, smash and grab, which does not always work.
This is not just money issue, its a management issue which has to be addressed.

Take Nat as an example, he definitely should be playing the cup games. He can play as a CB and now even as an "anchor". Confidence written all over him.
and Ben is back only because he has no other place to go

nateevs: I don't understand. Are you using another player's situation to justify why a right decision was wrong?
Who pays over 100k a week for Essien as a squad player?
Effective management of players is topic for another day.
Your 100k plus a week players play most games.
The rotation players are in the lower earning bracket.
Not the other way round even if for effective squad management.


At the time the decision was made to move Essien on, it was the right one.
At the time it was decided to keep Torres, it was the right one.

What's your point?

right decision to keep Torres? in whose books if I may ask? 99.999 % of folks will tell you it was as of today, a terrible decision. But hey, I don't want to get into another argument about FT. No. we've had enough of that already.
My point is this, I've watched Essien play for Madrid this season on several occasions and I thought, he is not at this moment playing any worse than our starting 11, heck even better than some.
Coupled with the fact that Rafa is complaining how light is squad is forgetting we have the likes of Lukaku, Essien, Josh, Piazon, Bryne etc out on loan. Even DM reported we have 22 players out on loan.
Even young players dont want to come back. Who the heck is running this club sef?
