What is Youri Tielemans still doing in that league?

Never knew someone else has noticed. I've got my eyes on this lad and I'm pretty sure he deserves better.

I wonder what these scouts do all day.

Damn! Good assx gone bad.

As the ref blow the final whistle, my people the Star I bin dey drink begin dey taste like alomo bitters for my mouth.

It was obvious Harry Kane has officially finished me!

Not to worry, the mofo is getting jettisoned this week for the back in-form Ibra.

Meanwhile, I hope Mukina2 dey feel my team's run in the Nairaland Elites League? Shame she couldn't even secure a spot for one of the league's finest managers in the main league or even in the FA cup. Shame.

What I admire most is Conte's tactical flexibility. His ability to tweak tactics is actually getting us results.

His pre-match plan was to attack Palace. When he got a goal, he brought on Fab and then reverted to a possession formation - 4-3-3. When it appeared Pardew and his boys were going to give it their all in the dying minutes of the game, Don Antonio brought on Ivanovic and went defensive. Three different in-game instructions all in one match.

That in all sincerity places him above every other manager in the country. Don Antonio has my respect!

Emaprince:
what did you notice there?

He's always on his toes when Real are taking a shot.

We know he is doing 6.1, why the extra height he keeps longing for?

Ibime:
They should keep parking the bus, we will keep winning 1-0.

9 points down, 6 to go.

I dey tell you. Hallmark of champs!

Unto the next one.

This boy get wahala!

airmark:
No you are wrong bro. Ht/full time. it seems you are new to the market.

2/2 Away team to win both halves it should be then.

IMO, that wasn't just a calculated risk. And yeah, I'm actually new to the market.

airmark:
he didn't lose he won 1.25m

2/2 is supposed to mean half-time/full-time winning for the away side. We only won the first half.

How come he won?

airmark:
One of my guys put equivalent of 1m for 2/2 . The guy wan die. I warned him

Bad punter, very bad punter!

Spuds, City and Chelsea wins + Double chance options for West ham and Liverpool was all he needed.

Psg, feyernood and monaco were all at home against weaker oppositions. Your pal was just on a mission to donate cash.

Havilah93:
The last two games have been hard work mehn!

Phew!!

Simply because opposition managers have come to a realization that the only way to stop us is by throwing too many bodies behind the ball.

I saw that against W'brom, I equally saw that today.

Our ability to record back-to-back victories speaks volume of how Conte is tactically astute.

Courtois man of the match!

3pts sealed, unto the next one.

Ibime:
Ol boy, the deal is actually done.

Oga Nihilist, come join me pop Champagne abeg. Your boy Oscar has finally brought us something major to the table. He even beat Sterling transfer fee by £2m.

Abegi party don set gon gon. When bank alert hit Chelsea phone, make una inform me so I fit host 24 hour party for this thread.

Maga don pay, shout Hallelujah!!!!

God bless Andre Villas Boas!!!!

I hold no grudge against AVB anymore. As a matter of fact, an image of him should be hung somewhere around Cobham, man is a living Chelsea legend.

If Oscar's deal won't pull through, I will kuku pay for the money wey remain and even get to send in his flight money on top.

I heard Mikel is getting shipped out too come January. Na so God dey take answer prayers?

The fascinating thing about these developments is that, these lot would be replaced by ninjas who can do a yeoman job when called upon. Ninjas who can be trusted to deliver anyday anytime. Imagine Chelsea with an amazing squad depth, imagine us sending fear down the spines of opponents even before kick-off.

Don Conte na proper gaffer!

AvB is a proper Chelsea legend for making that call from China. Eledumare bless his soul.

Oscar's departure and Azpi's new deal both happening in a day? Mood!

Ibime:
I see Kenedy in the background.

Yeah, he's been around for a while. I'm wondering why he hasn't been fully involved in the first team.

Someone came checking during the weekend.

Mikel didn't play any part in that win, so what is the towel for?

Man City Vs Monaco

Real Madrid Vs Napoli

Benfica Vs Dortmund

Bayern Vs Arsenal

Porto Vs Juventus

Leverkusen Vs Atletico Madrid

PSG Vs Barcelona

Sevilla Vs Leicester City

themonk:
Lots of wisdom, guess you listen to hip hop cause that how nigerians know what they are feed by these musicians are empty lyrics. I miss fela though. Your signature is from spiritual by Jay z. I even played it today

That is my point being made. I had to crop Jay Z's line because it appealed to me and for the obvious fact that the song was geared towards raising awareness over the shooting of blacks in America by white cops.

That is impact.

Dear Nigerian musicians,

I chose the word “musician” because it explains everything about your profession. I could not convince myself to elevate you to the status of an artiste for that word to me connotes originality, creativity and grace which most of you are deeply bereft of. So, we will manage “musician” until you heed the advice I am about to dish out on a cold, winter plate.

I still remember the first time I heard Yemi Alade’s “Ferrari”. I was on my way to work in Lagos. I felt so sober throughout that day that one would think some personal misfortune had befallen me. It suddenly dawned on me that something had to be said or done or both. I realised this was an anomaly that had slowly but steadily found its way into the minds of Nigerian musicians. A typical case of misplaced priorities.

Dear Nigerian musician, I am tired. Tired of listening to empty lyrics. Tired of dancing to good beats but intellectually unchallenging songs that leave me feeling more empty than the moments before I selectively exposed myself to your shallow, poorly-written, unstimulating songs without the feeling that a lot more could have been embedded in them to do justice to whatever theme you chose to explore. Do you know that a song, just like a good story or movie, must have a central theme and subject matter which it addresses? Do you even know what a “theme” means?
Do you know that there are several issues facing the world as I write this? Cases including but not limited to Racism, Hunger, Pain, Poverty, Political and Economic Incompetence, both natural and human-induced calamities, Diseases, even social vices etc. and music is one of the most effectively aesthetic, creative and artistic ways to not only engender awareness across a larger and most mixed human spectrum of intellectual, ethnic and racial diversification but also arouse positive responses about these problems plaguing humanity?

Do you know that there is more to music than simply shouting, “Masterkraft on the Beat”, or “Its Don Jazzy Again”, or the other annoying one, “We Are Back Again”? Do you know that there is a higher calling to your profession than simply mixing instrumentals (what you loosely call ‘beats’) or the awkward idea of aspiring to become the next GLOBACOM, MTN or GULDER ambassador? Or even the latest limiting ado about signing for ‘foreign’ record labels? Do you even know that you, dear Nigerian musician, can win a Grammy award, but only when you have done just about enough with a timeless music that does not only say, “Chop My Money” or “Baby Shake What Your Momma Gave You”, or “I Don Blow”? You see, music is not meant to be common. It is supposed to be timeless and its influence expected to transcend national or even continental borders.

Ever wondered why "We Are the World" by the United Support of Artists (USA) for Africa, remains the signature track for natural disasters and one of the world’s all time highest grossing songs ever (since its release in 1985, it has raised over $63million for humanitarian causes with about ninety percent of the money being pledged to African relief, both long and short term) or why Bob Marley’s “One Love” continues to be such an emblematic song unifying the world’s divisiveness and diversity to name but a few?
So biko, when next you go to your studio to sing your ‘hit track’, remember it is supposed to touch lives in more ways than just telling that your mysterious ‘bae’ to “wind her waist for you”.

Ndewo!!!

TEAM NEWS

Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic is set to return after missing last weekend's win over Manchester City with a muscular problem.

Diego Costa and Pedro are fit after being forced off during that match, but Oscar misses out because of illness.

James Morrison and Gareth McAuley are fitness doubts for West Brom.

The pair have not trained this week because of unspecified injuries and will be assessed, while Saido Berahino remains out as he builds up fitness.

With the master earlier today

Nihilist:
You just wasted your time bro.

Raumdeuter's hate for Terry is not based on Logic.

He can use that lil education. Who knows the professional exam he'd be sitting for tomorrow

raumdeuter:
Terry is a legend based on his longevity, not impact, For impact try Drogba Lampard Cashley and Cech these were the players who stood up in those great memorable Chelsea moment in 2012 at Nou Camp and Munich while Terry disgraced himself and was missing

You keep throwing around these lines like they excuses you from the use of logic. Do you even go through what you post at times?

If JT wasn't good enough, could he have enjoyed that longevity at Chelsea? If he wasn't making impacts, could he have lasted this long? Which sensible franchise retains a leader who isn't stirring his team to success for more than a decade?

I've got time, so I am going to educate you on what impact really is. Grab a pen and a book egbon, this one na evening class.

Impact could be defined as the powerful effect sth has on sb/sth. Using it in a sentence, you can easily say; John Terry's half-time speech made a profound impact on his team-mates.

Looking at some other ways John Terry could have made impacts at Chelsea. Here are stats that'll interest you:

1. With 40 league goals to his name, JT stands as Chelsea's and Premier League highest scoring defender. His total puts him ahead of David Unsworth, Ian Harte and Leighton Baines, and it is even more impressive considering his goals have come from open play rather than penalties or free-kicks.

2. He is one of five players at Chelsea to have made over 500 apps for the club.

3. He is Chelsea's most successful captain, having led them to four Premier League titles, four FA Cups, three League Cups and one UEFA Champions League title since 2004

4. He was named UEFA Club Defender of the Year in 2005, 2008 and 2009, PFA Players' Player of the Year in 2005, and was included in the FIFPro World XI for five consecutive seasons, from 2005 to 2009.

5. He was also named in the all-star squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the only English player to make the team.

6. In 2007, he became the first captain to lift the FA Cup at the new Wembley Stadium in Chelsea's 1–0 win over Manchester United, and also the first player to score an international goal there, scoring a header in England's 1–1 draw with Brazil.

7. In Chelsea's league title winning seasons, this was how JT fared:

2004/05 (36 apps, 3 goals)
2005/06 (38 apps, 4 goals)
2009/10 (37 apps, 2 goals)
2014/15 (38 apps, 5 goals)

A cursory glance at this stats above would inform you that the captain himself was hugely involved in those titles wins. A whopping total of 467 of his appearances have come as starts, with just 16 from the bench, and his disciplinary record stands at 68 bookings and six red cards.

8. Only Giggs, Frank Lampard and Scholes have recorded more Premier League wins than Terry, whose total of 303 Premier League victories gives him a career win percentage of 63 per cent.

9. He has played under 10 different managers at Stamford Bridge, and in 2014/15 he became one of only two outfield players in Premier League history to have played every minute of a title-winning season after ex-Manchester United defender Gary Pallister in 1992/93 and 1994/95.

Before I bring this evening class to a close, I would love to know if you've got any questions for me. If there is none, I'll advice you to make for yourself a sculpture of John Terry, position it close to your bed and bow to it each morning before you step outta your door.

Thank you.

Leff me oh jare! The useless follow-follow dog was told to mention top 20 players, in his usual excited 'doggish' mode to please his cyber-father and cyber mentor, he mentioned more than 20 players. Na him type dey always ask for more answer sheet in exam hall, only to carry over the same course at the end of the semester.

Blood of God! See bomb blasts from the creeks!
