Ibime:
We still finished second which is better than Peps first season and the nigga was still sacked in the tunnel.

Reason for the decline in the quality of football was the board replacing Ballack and Deco with Ramires. Purely board decision to sign Ramires who was an Emenalo recommendation to the board. Even Belletti who Ancelotti sometimes played in midfield and could have been used to keep the beautiful football going left.

You replace those three in your midfield with Ramires and still expect to play beautiful football? Like I told you, Roman knows absolutely nothing about football, he cannot even jog 5.

Pep will be sacked from that first Man City season performance, and if he even survives, he will be given Bakayoko and Ramires the next season and told to play tikitaka with it. It's like you don't know that Russians and American lawyers who know nothing about football run our club down to the choice of player, with unrealistic expectations from the types of players they buy.

plus the mad pressure of sack news everytime you have 3 straight poor result that can lead to more poor result if you don't hold your side well. And the board will not even give you confidence. You self go know say the man no send. You start to tinker your style and tactics to get results by all means to keep your job, that is when bus parking starts. Before you know it everything don yakata.

That pressure that he couldn't handle very well that made him make too many personnel changes decision was one of Lampard's undoing, for me.

popizaino:
Abrahamovic loves good beautiful football,that which pep guardiola can give him more than....so tell me why he would sack someone who gives him what he wants ?

Good football for Roman is success. There is no way pep will remain a Chelsea manager till now if he were at Chelsea after all that net spend and Lyon is still knocking him out. No type of possession football will save that manager; unless, Roman changes one day. But with the Roman we have seen over the year, pep would have been sacked since.

Amoto94:
Greatihex, Ibime, Roland 17 this happened in Oba, a man lost six children to an attack by suspected IPOB members. Greatihex I hope you're happy with this development right?

Sir, please don't mention me with rubbish news. Thanks.

Thecassanova:
Didn’t watch the game, but I’m not surprised.

Kovacic can’t play 3, 4 consecutive games at a top level, his level of unreliability was what made many coaches kept him glued to the bench. Clueless in Attack, can’t shoot & flawed in defending.

I know some will say it’s because he was not paired with Jorginho today. But really, are we just watching J5 & Kov in a midfield of 2? Hardly have I seen both had a masterclass game together pass 4 5 games.

Average player that wouldn’t start for any tier 1 club.

It is Barkley that will start for tier 1 club, abi?
Barkley is gone forever at Chelsea ọ, better settle with that.

popizaino:
Pls, I'm not caught up for this raumdeuter style of argument.


Guardiola will never go trophyless with Chelsea and even if those,his beautiful champagne footbball will only make the board extend his contract.

Oga, abeg no talk this kind thing reach where Abrahamovic dey make him no tire you slap o.

popizaino:
Drogba factor was why lost plus Benitez gambling with set of players to use.

It was just that benitez factor, and you can't blame him. He was just a new manager. Na Chelsea board you go blame.

Almajirihunter:
I think you’re just prolonging the matter, the main question I could deduce from what Ibime said was
“Would any government in the world sit and watch armed separatist groups operate without blinking an eye?” The rest things you write are other matters i but in this context that’s the question.

The main question should be, why is the government not blinking an eye to a world known terrorist group that is all over the country grabbing people's ancestral lands?

Why is the government against those trying to resist the terrorists.

Ibeme:
Calm down. All these pictures you showed of Government sitting to negotiate with bandits is the same way Government sat to negotiate with MEND.

Let ESN get their weight up and harass Govt to the negotiation table. Until then, Govt will continue to bully them like they did with MEND in the early days.

No Govt wants to get to this stage of sitting with outlaws until they have no choice. The carrot is only offered after the stick hasn't worked. For now IPOB and ESN will continue to get the stick until they prove themselves a thorn in the flesh.

Why are you concerned about ESN? Why are you not concerned about what led to the formation of the ESN? Why do you pander to the evil Nigerian government?

BTW, ESN is not harassing any government. They are simply protecting the people from killer fulanis, but they government is harassing them for doing that, just like they did to the mambilla group.

They are also using the media to justify their actions like the one that the other person posted of children being killed in oba, like the lies of the supreme Court governor. It is their way. We have already seen it during the EndSars.

You can go back and watch what Ortom said again. He is a sitting governor.

Ibeme:
I'm not interested in unreasonable and unquantifiable demands. Last time I checked, FG is also fighting Boko Haram and Bandits, albeit without success.

The same President you are talking about, his home state is overrun with bandits kidnapping and killing citizens and monarchs and his kinsmen can't sleep at night. You think he is happy with that?

Killer Herdsmen don't just sit in one place waiting to be attacked like the ESN.

Unless you are suggesting that FG should shoot any Fulani seen with a cow, I can't help you.

Like I said, I try to be a dispassionate observer. A lot of what you typed is full of emotions, [/b]understandably so but fighting any enemy you can't see has led you into genocidal territory [b] to where you will be happy for ESN to kill any Fulani they see.

As for me, any group armed by a secessionist body will be fought by the Government. That does not mean I don't support Igbo Independence, that's just facts.

So, what I should be happy about is fulani killing everyone they see? Hmm.
You keep surprising me.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhqSIC2Rb8U

Is the above by a governor also full of emotions?

But army can shoot any body they see without gun but flag like above but turn a blind eye to the foreigners fulani with AK-47? Continue. E go reach everywhere.

So, in your own understanding your FG is fighting fulani killers? Is it by asking us to give the foreigners from Libya, like they said, our lands?
We can all see how they are fighting the terrorists below.

Sir, check your stand well so that you don't regret it in the future o.

Amoto94:
I can assure you that there have been several military and other security agencies strikes against bandits who are terrorising people. You can't criminalise a group of people for the crime of a few amongst them that's you calling for genocide and ethnic cleansing which isn't palatable. As for naming places by people living in a place it's nothing new as there's Chinatown in some countries does it mean that Chinese want to take over such places? The Italians, Dutchs, Portuguese, Spaniards, Germans who live in Latin American countries often name certain quarters after their home countries so stop saying things that are not true that serves as a tool of ethnic cleansing.

I have nothing to tell you.

Everything is here.

Ibeme:
Well my good friend, I believe in moderation and dispassionate observation as concerning Nigerian matters. I can't come and kill myself.

Instead of considering me ignorant, consider me an outsider who is not entrenched in the ethnocentric group-think prevalent on all sides in Nigeria today, which is a dangerous road to genocide. I know you thought an army attacking an armed security outfit of a separatist group is an abomination, but for me, it is to be expected from any self-respecting State. Until Nigerians agree to go their separate ways, a Nigerian President will always attack any armed IPOB separatist group, even an Igbo President will do so. As it happens, our current President is riddled with dementia and unaware of what's going on, so the Igbo Governor of the State had to alert him and invite the army to come and deal with it. Shikena.

So, your so called "self-respecting" country is not expected to unleash their military on the world's 4th deadliest terror group? You don't think that it is an abomination that they treat such group as friends and brother will unleash all they have on any one who rises to oppose the terror group?

I have so much to say, but the way the whole issue of the hell hole is all full in my head, I don't know where to start for you.

You believe an Igbo president will also fight IPOB, but you are not surprised that a Fulani government is asking you to embrace, give land and welcome a Fulani terror group that they claim are foreigners?

You better stand with truth now and stop playing ostrich.

My suspicion is that your stand and position is from a very selfish one, and you may not do anything different from what these evil politicians are doing currently if you were to be one of them just because you don't want to be ethnocentric.

I don't know if you would still be having this stance if you are to be from one of the numerous villages that have been sacked and renamed by the fulani invaders while your self-respecting country turned a blind eye.

I will leave it here. Time and information will tell. I will see where you stand will be 1 or 2 years from now.
I know that some ibarapa people must have been just like you 3 to 4 years ago when the python dance was happening; the invasions and subsequent renaming of places in plateau, benue and taraba; the treatment of the mambilla group, but today they are seeing things differently.

E go reach everybody o.

Oasis007:
Uzodimma said, “The attacks on police stations and killing of policemen during #Endsars were carried out by IPOB and not protesting youths for the sole purpose of hijacking and stealing weapons.

“They are now using those arms to destroy Orlu.

“They killed 10 policemen, a prominent Orlu son, Ignatius Obiezu and one Emmanuel Okeke (Soludo) collected their Hilux vehicles

“The IPOB also shot and killed four Moslems doing their business in Orlu.

“IPOB said they were looking for herdsmen, but these victims they killed before the crisis, were they herdsmen?

“We heard Nnamdi Kanu celebrating the activities of his men in Orlu that they are doing well by killing innocent citizens. There’s no Fulani herdsmen in Orlu.

“So, we asked ourselves, what is the colouration that IPOB is trying to give this onslaught in Orlu?

“That’s why our government decided to invite military to flush out IPOB and their so called ESN.

“We discovered that there was a camp which IPOB established at Umutanze, Orlu and we sent police to dislodge them. But, it happened that they attacked the policemen and killed two of them. It was after they killed those policemen that government had to bring in the military.

“It was not easy for the military to push them out of that place. But the military succeeded. That was why they came on a reprisal attack and killed the innocent ones.

“They also relocated to Udah in Orsu LGA, a camp at a boundary between Imo and Anambra States. The place is a very depressed groove that no one can easily enter.

“For the past two weeks, surveillance was monitoring that place and there were more than 200 people being trained in that camp. The military had to deploy their arsenal to diminish the IPOB people there.”

You have believed this one and also want others to believe it, but you just brought rubbish post from people to disprove what even the military themselves confirmed.


Shey they call it Karma.

Okay.

Ibime:
I don't think any new emergence of armed insurrection in Nigeria will be met with kids gloves, especially not an armed Igbo group. I am not surprised at attempts to nip it in the bud. If you respect the fact that IPOB are set on separation, then there is little to negotiate over. Unfortunately, unless IPOB can worry FG tactically and militarily, there will be no negotiation. Nigeria only negotiates with groups that cause them serious problems eg Boko Haram and MEND. If they can bully their way through, they will seek to crush at the budding stages of insurrection like they did with the Shi'ites etc. They also tried to crush Boko Haram and Ijaws (Odi) in the initial stages but the problem mushroomed beyond their control. Let's hope this matter is confined to the forest and not civilian areas. I am seeing conflicting stories so far.

I will respectfully say that your stands or positions concerning Nigeria on issues like this always point to the issue of ignorance; or should I say you wanting to sound politically correct.

I also saw your position during the EndSars matter, and I disappointed that 2 years down from when we talked about the herdsmen you still don't understand the level of deep shit Nigeria is in right now.

I will not be surprised to find out that you still think that it is just a farmers-herders clash like the unfortunate media houses like to put it.

Sir, better face reality o. Nigeria....

Roland17:
Absolutely! I am more worried about the silence of those who should be speaking out especially the good for nothing Governors in the zone. They are not even trying to dialogue with the right people to avoid such levels of aggression.

Again, even though it is central, I don’t care what the rationale, context or politics involved, I am just saddened that it has degenerated to this point.

which dialogue, when the supreme Court governor has told you that he is the one that invited them.

Roland17:
Serious rant!!!

I don’t care about the party affiliations of the Governors in the South East but it is important that I say that they are all shameless, ungrateful and ineffective leaders for keeping their hands folded amid air-strikes in Orlu!

This is not about politics but the collective wellbeing of a people!! Since when did the SE become a war zone to warrant such level of combat strategy? They could not force a dialogue with the presidency about the use of air strikes? Is this the Biafra war all over again?

Shame on all the South East Governors!!!!

Are you just noticing their uselessness and selfishness. Bunch of efulefus. I'm not surprised with the actions of the fulani slaves.

rooftops:
. First picture rudiger.. second Christensen
Make your decision

Dey there dey look rubbish stats, no use your eyes and brain.
Person wey dey run like who dem tire trailer tyre for waist.

rooftops:
.. in plain word is Christensen faster than rudiger?

yes.

rooftops:
.. Christensen goes into tackle and coming out clean? Wawu or rather him feigning injury in the process?... How can he be our fastest paced defender? The only defender he is faster than is Thiago who we all know age is against tomori?, Rudiger? Zouma?

which of the Rudigers is fast? With his high heeled shoes?

rooftops:
.. the only aspect he is good at is just his passing which is still normal when compared to some defenders or am I missing any other attribute?

You are missing a lot. He is very calm under pressure. He is will go into tackle and come out cleanly without committing fouls. You will not see him balooning the ball into corner or throw in. He has pace, one of our fastest defender. I rate him well. If I'm the manager, he will be starting matches.

Unlimited22:
Messi and Ronaldo legit BROKE football.

We used to appreciate 15 and even 10 goal seasons when the best of the best players usually scored like 25 league goals a season.


Now these numbers are seen as ordinary. Football fans have suddenly developed the statistics-mania seen hitherto only in basketball and Handegg fans.

Players who don't post extreme numbers (even when it isn't their primary job) are no longer appreciated for being very good at what they are supposed to do on the pitch.

God go help us all.

and some of this generation players have seen this and want to use tap ins to deceive us to believe they are good. They can't deceive me, though.

BlueMann:
Soft IMO. Gundogan seemed to miscontrol the ball there. I would rather call it a 'coming together' rather than an outright foul.

Yes. Just a misstep

This lamela na compound fool.

What a controversial pk.

abbey621:
I failed to see how what you wrote correlates with what we are discussing here, you are confusing customs and traditions with the word and ways of God, nowhere in the bible did God instruct anyone to stone prostitutes to death rather what you are trying reference is the laws of Moses, which was the same laws used by the Egyptians, perhaps you are referring to the punishment for worshipping false gods? Furthermore, Christ himself said this, Matthew 5:17 (“Do not think that I have come to abolish Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”). Christ did not invalidate anything in the old testament, the 10 commandments still stayed relevant, till today Pastors are still using old testament for tithes, sodom & gomorrah to preach against homosexuality etc. Don't try to deviate the discourse with sentiments PLEASE!

I can see how you dodged the one of tithe.


Christ did not change anything yet he told them not to practice eye for an eye that was once given to them as law? He told them to love even their enemies and not just people that loves them. He told them not to divorce and give divorce certificate, but don't divorce at all except for sexual unfaithfulness and don't remarry after divorce. Yet you say he didn't change anything?

Well, I have made you see what I wanted you to see.

And please, stop deceiving people with your twisted interpretation of the word of God.

abbey621:
HA HA! Now that we've gone full circle, let me remind you of your initial quote especially the bold word:



The problem with nowadays Christians is that most seem to discard the old testament when it does not suit their purpose(Polygamy, violence etc) and embrace it when it does(Tithes, theory of creation, etc). Did you know that Christianity exited long before Christ came to Earth? If we are to believe the whole trinity, then surely you must know that Christ existed long before Abraham. Furthermore to burst your bubble, are you saying Christianity has nothing to do with old testament? So you're saying Abraham, Moses, Elijah, Solomon, David, Jacob are irrelevant to the christian faith? Goodluck facing your pastor on Sunday when he is using Malachi 3:9-10 to preach about tithe, hope you can be bold enough to call him out, after all old testament has nothing to do with Christianity

“What sorrow awaits you Pharisees! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore justice and the love of God. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things. Luke 11:42.

Your argument is invalid, not when there are teachings of Christ that invalidate the one of old testament.

Maybe we should still continue to stone prostitutes to death nah, according to your theory.

Pure hypocrisy. Nothing more.
I would rather not say anything than say lies just to please people or the deceased family.

timbros:
You can't expect counter attacks from a team whose opponents sits deep. That's the area of your op that I highlighted.

We play possession football under TT, not counter attack.

Azpi was able to score from a counter only because Burnley came out during that period of the game. But for the vast majority of the game, they sat back.

I am telling you something that I have noticed since Lampard era and you are talking about TT.

That you play possession football does not mean that you should throw counter opportunities away.

swiz123:
Not when we have players like James who would play back pass or Mount who would play a side ways pass because it is easier.

I just hope Mount would at least play like Gundogan if playing like KDB would be too much to ask.

It is not a players problem. Our players can effectively execute a quick counter. It is what you practice in training.

timbros:
How many teams have come out to play us? How do you counter when your opponent is sitting deep?

I don't understand this argument that you are trying to make. Is it that you have been watching our matches and yet have not observed what I said?

When has teams not been sitting deep against us?
Nawao.

timbros:
Why una dey always type like this?

Go watch Azpi goal against Burnley just last week.

I didn't watch it, just like I stated in the part of my post that you bolded. Whether we scored one just last week does not invalidate what I am trying to say.

We no longer utilise counter attacking opportunities like we used to.
There is no point trying to deny it.

I don't understand TT's romance with Alonso. He better come off it before the goat starts costing us points. The number one back pass culprit.

Our counter attacking threat and ability is gone, and this I noticed during Lampard's time.
Abi na hazard departure cause am.

I can't remember the last time I watched us score from a quick counter. Na to just dey kill counter opportunities.
