Did you read Aberdeen coached by Fergie winning 3 titties in a league dominated by the Glasgow clubs Rangers and Celtic.FYI,Celtic was the first British club to win champions league in 1967. Fergie led Aberdeen to defeat Real Madrid in 1983 European cup finals. Did you think he jumped from nowhere to caoch Man Utd.He was brought in like a Messiah to rescue Utd who had not won a league title since 1968 after leading to Scotland to 1986 world cup.quote author=FirstbornWds post=84570359]

But he never left Man Utd... Did he??
Of course I know that. But if it would interest you know that the same Aberdeen he won trophies was already a strong, formidable team..

Having established a reputation in Scottish football as a no-nonsense manager with an eye for talent, Ferguson was soon appointed to a position at a top-tier club. Aberdeen had been keen on Ferguson for a while and they eventually got their man in 1978, replacing Billy McNeill, who left to join Celtic.

While he inherited a strong squad from McNeill, Ferguson could not steer the team to success in his first season at the helm of the Pittodrie club, but it did not take him long to make his mark. The season prior to his appointment Aberdeen had finished second in the league, but Ferguson only managed a fourth-place finish in his first term. But things quickly improved under his stewardship and the following season he clinched the title, pipping Celtic by a point.

The 1980 league title was just Aberdeen's second in their entire history and, while they dropped to second in the following two seasons, then to third in 1983, Ferguson delivered the club their third and fourth league trophies in 1984 and 1985.


Also, it should interest you to know that he didn't just start winning trophies in Man Utd. It took some time before the dominance began...


But my point actually is basically a sarcastic one. It was centered at the guy that said Messi wouldn't succeed as a Player outside Barcelona. I was only trying.to bring him to see reasons why he should stop using that as basis for standardizing who is a better player between Messi and others.

Really,which one of them has won 16 league titles, 13 with United and 3 for Abedeen(the last time they won it was in 85 when he left them. Also Aberdeen led by Fergie was the last Scottish club to win an European title.Which one of them has coached a team to qualify world cup finals as he did leading Scotland to Mexico 86.

Fergie won competitive league titles with exceptional players 92-94,young fledglings in 95-97 and average players in 2013. Tell me any of these coaches who has surpassed all the record listed.
But he never left Man Utd... Did he??.

And if you didn't get the basis of our Argument, let me remind you..

He said it confidently that Messi wouldn't excel outside Barcelona. So I was only trying to "ironize" his claim with my buffs of Alex against the other coaches I mentioned.

He cant excell outside Barca
That is the fact
What is the value individual brilliance that doesn't translate to team success .

The system has always been looking for a way to do this
Ronaldo was robbed the last time because the system doesn't want him to surpass messi.

The player that win the champion leaque should be the one to have it

And I think it is time to know that we have keeper,defender ,and midfielder too

The whole thing is becoming boring
Mister... Messi will excel just anywhere. He's more of a team player than just any player that have played over the decade. The only problem I see is when his other players become over-dependent on him ( as in the case of Argentine National Team)... I would not blame them overly though because even him sef day overdo..

Dribbles

Goals

Assists


Passes

Freekicks

Penalties... Just name it.. He's always there to do.it all.


But then, that is what makes him the G.O.A.T afterall

Lol.. That's the same way I would want you to stop using the one-man club thing as a basis to compare Ronaldo and Messi. Talk with facts and other things.


Ronald is a great player no doubt.. But I think it's high time you stop comparing him to his Superior... Shoe get size abeg..

what did Messi or Ronaldo play last season to deserve this? How will young players grow if they keep nominating those two players?
The Young players should measure up to the standards these two have set to be acknowledged.. If not, they should continue winning it till the Kingdom comes.

As a matter of fact Pep Guardiola is a far great coach compared to Sir. Alex Ferguson

But no disrespect to Sir Alex Ferguson he is a legend
Same should be said for Klopp, Jose, And Ancelloti. They are all better coaches than Alex Ferguson

All votes based on sentiment in favour for Messi

Ronaldo still remain the best

Messi is a one team man can't excel beyond Barcelona

Also good for VVD for talking trash of Ronaldo that he wasn't a rival to him, stardom gotten to his head, unimaginable disrespect for Ronaldo
Of course, we know. The same way Sire Alex Ferguson is a complete one-man club who wouldn't exceed if he coached another team aside Man Utd. That's to say the likes of Klopp, Pep Guardiola and Jose are way better than him.. Isn't it?

And you think he did that on purpose? Come on man!
Brother... I'm 90% sure he did what he did on purpose. Common... You n I know Ronaldo as a goal poacher with eyes for against offside traps and good positioning. And to imagine he closed his legs together immediately the ball was launched. What was his plan there??


Ronald is simply an enemy of progress... Period

Isn't it evident? There are only two kinds of players co-existing on planet earth right now... Leo Messi and Others..

One other guy is also a special player... Just that he doesn't measure up to the GOAT standard.
Health › Re: I'm Depressed Over My Height by FirstbornWds: 3:00pm On Nov 26, 2019
Adekun33:
Am 19yrs old and I am 188cm i.e 6.2ft. I feel so awkward about my height. I feel that am no longer tall but long, for a very long time now i hated everything about my height to the extent I feel very sad and depressed every day.

As a result of that, I've lost confidence in myself and also my self-esteem is nothing to write home about.

This has made me an introvert and I don't socialize.

So pls tall dudes out there, I want to know how you deal with your self esteem and confidence and also how you approach comments about your heights cuz am gradually going insane!!!
Bros.. I had wanted to yab you earlier but something crossed my mind. You might have not mingled with the right people or probably you're misinformed.

Being tall is an asset. Take it or leave it. And thank goodness you're not obese. This is what I have for you..
Hit the gym or possibly engage in workouts that will help you build your body. You don't have to be all muscular but adding some bits of weight ( with balanced diets) to your body would definitely make you one heck of model.

Like someone rightly said, you could either consider being a model or a basketball player; no necessary though but trust me, you'd definitely have a body to drool over.

Above all, set your sights on a goal and achieve something worthwhile. Remember, Money answereth all things.

That's probably because he has an insurance policy somewhere that the EFCc doesn't know of

He definitely has a backup plan, maybe some cash locked somewhere belonging to him but in another parson's name which he will fall back on after his jail term.
What if it is just a ploy to conceal his pain or probably to get a means to make the Nigerian government divert attention and make more time for himself? Not saying you're not right..

But behind every criminal's action, you've got to be careful with every one of your decisions and there's definitely a motive behind it.

Re-cycling possession for the 10mins he was on the pitch does not make it a Masterclass or that he took over the midfield from juve. Xavi peak was not really in this decade, Iniesta is debatable where as kroos and Modric really did dominate in the last 4 to 6 years.
...
[i][/i]


Okay.. But i somehow still believe that he did well until probably 2014/15. I would argue that he has made more impact than the other two mentioned ( I stand to be corrected though) before finally leaving Barcelona.

Are you sure you know what you are talking about?
Of course, although Iniesta was the man of the match and Xavi coming on as Subtitute, he still had a wonderful performance co-ordinatinatimg passes and completing take-ons.

Olamyyde:
I'm not sure if xavi should be there, he started declining after euro 2012. Iniesta still balled in this decade. The midfield should be iniesta and modric.


Suarez's peak was higher than lewandowski's. He won 2 golden boots in the cr7/messi era, that is no easy feat.
..



Regardless, Xavi decline wasn't so obvious that he couldn't boss the midfield. Although the prowess to go forward wasn't as solid as before( we should blame age for that), you just cannot compare what the "master-passer" has done for Barcelona. His last game at the the UCL final game against Juve still proved he was absolute masterclass. He completely took over the midfield from Pirlo and the likes. None, I repeat none of the other two (Kroos and D. Silva) or even the so-called Modric comes close to the game-changer Xavi offered, both in Barcelona and Spain.

As for Lewy and Suarez, I really cannot say whom to prefer in that position. Suarez is an absolute world-class on his good day ( and some parts of bad days too, not minding his goal drought) but Lewy isn't a striker you can just fizzle off the radar like that.

Iniesta and suarez should be on this list. Varane has no business being here sef undecided
Like seriously, including Kroos and D.Silva is completely off.. That midfield should be total Barcelona. Xavi and Iniesta should be on that list. For the '9' position, I think Suarez would be a better option but considering his instability, maybe we should just leave Lewy there.
