I stopped posting after I realized I was wasting my time here.

Elampiro how far with Rooney's back injury?

Put your money where your mouth is... Are you ready to stake a thousand naira recharge card with me?

I don't bet at all.

Barcelona would be lucky to get a draw today.

SIRcumalot:
Na my fault then.

It is a good result I just have to keep telling myself that till I believe it.

Honestly before the match i was telling myself that a draw would be enough and i'll be happy and now we got the draw but i'm still not satisfied.


Jose better blows Fener away

Lana1:
As usual, our attack let us down again!!! We cant keep dropping points like this against our rivals as well as dropping points against minnows like Watford and Stoke. At this rate, we wont make top 6 not to mention top 4

Our wing play is shit currently. We have no class wingers. Rashford just doesn't cut it anymore on the wings. He's a striker first and Ashley Young doesn't create anything offensively but he's still better than Memphis.

We need Martial and Mikhi fit and firing, to transform our attack. Zlatan needs to get more clinical in front of goal or he doesn't offer much.

Now i hate it more that we dropped points against Stoke.

SIRcumalot:
Saying he didn't play exactly has a "10"
Seem like an excuse for why he was poor.
I don't expect heaven and earth from pogba
I do expect the bare minimum that I didn't get today.

I didn't mean it as an excuse.

He was poor. no doubt.

larride:
The formation was our default 4-2-3-1

He was our no 10 tonight and he was uber useless, there's no damn excuse for that uninspiring performance he gave tonight, he should just jejely remains at the pivot while playing b2b.

Zlatan has been poor for sometimes now and I think he needs to ride the bench till he get his act together.

SIRcumalot:
Don't make excuses for this fella,
He was the most advance of the trio.
And aside from the cross we got nothing

Did you guys conveniently miss out where i said he was poor or did i even praise him at all in that post you quoted?

nateevs:
How? This dross is what you are calling genius? I dash anybody who wants. This is disgraceful football for a top side. What's the difference between this and Tony Pullis' Stoke?

If this is genius, what would you call Ferguson's United?

Before he retired Fergie last games at Anfield were far from a joy to watch and even with our best teams(2006-2009) at their peak it was always a very difficult game and we got steamrolled sometimes.


Regardless, i didn't enjoy today's game but it wasn't due only to the poor football, but because we dropped points.

larride:
Two things are learnt today.

1. Herrera has improved a lot

2. Pogba should never play as the man behind the striker ever again, he was uber useless apart from that cross to Ibra.

Young still remain his useless self.


Thank you De Gea.

Pogba did not play as 10 exactly. He played as the closest midfielder in a 3 to the striker though and got forward a lot. Shame he was poor though and Zlatan was just as poor or even worse.

Herrera man of the match by some distance; Maybe finally we have just found his best position.

Rooney to save us

Ibra should be taken off.

Ibra has been very poor. A tall Rooney it seems

Rashford has been woeful so far.

SIRcumalot:
What If the guy no give us a very obvious call that is in our favour maybe a clear penalty and e no give us.
Just to show that he does not favour Manchester.
Them no wetin them they do.

This is exactly what happens most of the time in such cases.

elampiro:
Football politics is not for agbero like you to understand. You expect Rooney and Southgate to tell you their underground plan? You don't know anything about chronic ailment. There are some ailments you can play with but you won't be able to reach 100% performance. If they divulge the exact ailment, EPL players will target the spot to end his career.


Receive sense.

Elampiro what is the meaning of this nonsense you wrote up here? Agbero? Underground plan? Chronic ailment? All these for Rooney?

And you're asking me to receive sense when you need it now more than ever?

Goodnight man.

Alright i'd admit i went overboard with my comments regards limited knowledge or no to comparison. Apologies.

People are often blinded by Ramos' handsomeness, popularity due to some unmerited laurels and his recent knack of scoring goals in cup finals but those stuff have so little to do with "defending". His aggressiveness which already makes him the Madrid player in history with the most number of red cards at 30 already and this coupled with his careless tackling which causes him to give away numerous penalties to the opposition are too much to ignore and make his status as an elite defended even debatable when compared with Pique. He's had good decent career no doubt but Pique's has managed even better.


Pique has been an elite defender as starting cb since 2008-2009 for Barcelona winning numerous CLs whether he's partnered with Puyol, Mascherano etc. He's been the constant factor in the cb pairing in the line up and has always put up very consistent elite level performances.
With Spanish national team it's similar too, He was paired with Puyol in 2010 world cup winning team while Ramos was still playing RB for Spain. Puyol's exit/retirement from the national team was what enabled Ramos to finally feature consistently as CB for Spain and he got paired with Pique in the Euros 2012.

Everyone knows i'm not exactly a Barcelona fan but if i wanted to make a choice between these 2 defenders, I'll pick Pique every single time i'm given the chance. I'm still gutted we let him return to Barcelona when he was with us while we kept hope in Evans(though understandable because we had the pairing of vidic and ferdinard which was excellent at the time).
Pique is also a top bloke also. He has always ever had good things to say about United and his time here and that's why it's not so difficult to stand for him.

elampiro:
Rooney has been playing through injury just to try to help his club and country, but it's getting worse. Rooney's presence alone in a match boosts the confidence of his team mates. But since people complain, he decided to leave the teams alone while he enjoys his 300k on the bench. He will soon be needed again

This is an incredibly daft post again from
What stupid injury are you talking about? If Mourinho went on to play Rooney after those comments about protecting him due to injury, then it means the injury is gone. Simple. Stop making stupid excuses for his poor form. I know you're hoping Rooney hits a purple patch again like he did in January after being completely sh1t and contributing 0 points in the first half of the season, then you'd come back to say it's has always been the back injury.
Wayo man

“It’s obvious I’m not as quick as I was," he said.

"You can always have a football brain. I’ve got that.

"A lot is made of where I play, and how I play, and obviously it gets a bit frustrating at times.

“Of course there will come a time, if I’m not playing, I might have to be a bit more selfish in terms of where I want to play and making that clear. But at the minute I’m happy playing where my managers want me to play.”


“I knew the Watford game, I didn’t play well. I didn’t deserve to play the next game, I understood that. And the team have done well, so I have to bide my time and take my chance.


See Rooney comments confirming himself that he has declined and he's been sh1t while you're still trying to defend him with back injury. Are you insane or you just enjoy making a fool of yourself?

England has always been a sh1t team. Elampiro weren't you one of those expecting them to achieve something in the just concluded EUROs? How did that turn out?

Regardless England have a great record in qualifying matches like this. They've lost only 1 of the past 41 Euros/WC qualifier but they don't achieve anything these competitions.

England failure to win today says more about how dire the team is than the quality of Rooney. England is easily so sh1t that they can't afford to leave a player as poor as Rooney out. It's that simple.

Pique is easily a better defender than Ramos. Anybody claiming otherwise has limited football knowledge or is simply biased(Madrid fans for example).

This argument shouldn't be allowed to exist at all.

elampiro:
His back injury probably got worse. May be he should be allowed to rest for a long time to get it heal properly.

Elampiro I respect you a lot but you're sinking to ridiculously low levels with utter tripe like this.


If a footballer has an injury so serious that it negatively impacts his levels of performances, then the player would be allowed to rest and recover while being treated. Rooney is no exception to this and even in the past false injury excuses have been made up to take him out of the firing line due to his bad form at times and I really doubt they'd keeping playing him if he has a really serious injury that negatively impacts his performances. Rooney himself currently wouldn't allow it because he knows it's asking for trouble.

The reality is that Rooney is just that bad and his current form is his usual or average form for the past 2 years or more but just that recently he's getting more exposed than usual. You've to come to terms with reality.
Now I'm even starting to pity him. I just want him to out of my club ASAP and I hope he gets the record. No bad feelings for him, you see?

Now I hope you start being objective regards Rooney. I know you can do this and spare yourself more ridicule; you are a decent poster after all.

This is what happens when you don't convert your chances. We have been so wasteful.

De gea WTF

Another Rooney assist

Haters would say it's another fluke

adebayo201:
how's studies?

Everything's fine man. I have just been more busy recently because i needed to achieve something in limited time. When i'm done, i'll resuming to posting regularly as i use to.

Lordave:
If not for persistent injuries, I prefer Julian Draxler.

It would require big money considering how much he was sold the last time he moved and he's very inconsistent also, even Hazard is far better regards this.
Very bad preference IMO.

Lana1:
Azzin. With all due respect to Fergie, he was actually very dumb expecting Moyes to take us forward

I agree completely. I find it even more irritating that some people defend Moyes here.
