Because of a horrible 45mins display against a mediocre team, we now defend against mediocre Teams, if I ask some of you now to show me a game we were that poor against another mediocre team now, una go zip mouth

we have played some of the best free flowing attacking football in the league since we appointed mourihno but noooo, the second half display against Southampton is what we play all the time and what we will continue playing because his name is mourihno, pathetic.. One game, one freaking game and you guys can't think straight, man city this man city that, Leicester City Vs Man City at the King power stadium last season, 3-0 at half time, watch the first half of that match and come back and say man city again if I will not slap sense into you

Saturday came, we played and we complained, move the fnck on and stop spewing shi.t about how we defend against this mediocre team and that mediocre team when there is no fact to back up that ridiculous claim, must every game be exciting ?


some o' y'all need to shut up for real because you are beginning to say silly things that are irritating

Some of the reaction has been over the top in my honest view.

We've won 5 out of the first 6 games while being undefeated thus far. I'm looking back and checking when last we had this good a start, you'd have to go to the start of 2011/12 to get an answer, 6 years ago.

I'm very puzzled at what I've been reading for nearly two days.

Oasis007:


HoopLAlasticlala - can you give a Reason why you don't want him at United?!

For all his ability dude goes missing when it matters most.

To all the folks on both sides of the divide:

It's just ONE game.

The season is still young and there are many games to be played.

I'm sure that we will revisit this argument, but for me, I'm still content. We're second only on goal difference and there is cause to be optimistic.

Just chill guys. The angst here makes it look and feel like we are in a crisis.

Oasis007:
Rumor Mill!


Mesut Ozil is set to turn down Arsenal's offer of a new contract, with the 28-year-old midfielder keen to join Manchester United. (Sunday Mirror)

We no want.

Abeg I take God beg una, if na play stop am, biko.

Oasis007:
We all know the Reason behind Martial switching off last Season. He's a young Lad, deeply in Love, but eventually gets knocked off.

He's a huge Talent, and I'm kinda having full Confidence in him this Season. It's evident in bis Games so far..... that's he's happy to play and he's enjoying tearing Apart any Defenders that come his Way!

JM is pushing, he has Confidence, he gives freedom to show and hone his Skills - and with Time he's gonna be unstoppable!

I thik we should pump the brakes on this optimism.

Things are very fluid, especially with Jose. One game he deems a bad performance will change everything.

I heard he was upset with Herrera for bringing a friend who had distant links to Celta Vigo to Carrington, prior to the Europa League Semi Final last season and is presently suffering for that "transgression" till date.

While we celebrate what we think and/or feel is his return to form, I think I am holding my breath and am on pins and needles.

We can only hope that Jose for all his tactical acumen will not upset the cart with a tantrum here or there.

Lana1:
Lol. Both him and Nyabinghi were of the impression United ll never play in the UCL this season. And that we'll never win league under Mourinho.

They were both last seen after we won the Europa

To be fair and candid, it wasn't out of place to be less than optimistic prior to this season.

However, some of the criticism was overboard.

One never saw anything good in United, no matter the positive changes made(hence the Cattermole reference) . The other is just insane.

Lana1:


Same with Ruudie!!

Lee Cattermole's number one advocate.

JayKayMaybachz:
Look at the slip so well..

I nigga had Madrid in a game. Staked N100K+

But Madrid fvcked up his slip cos the lost

Oh now I get. . .

Lol

See serious cutting.

JayKayMaybachz:
I don't punt, Fam.

Anyways see what Madrid did

Sorry about that mate, no harm meant.

JayKayMaybachz:


Perreira sha

Always fvcking up

Would've loved me some clean sheet. But he wouldn't grant my fvcking wish. Fvck him

This sounds like an aggrieved NairaBet customer.

Perreira is still young. I think he will develop into a good goalie.

Give him time.

i see he perpetual epileptic has resumed duties of mis-yarning.

Luckily there are more than enough doctors to cure its congenital madness.

Mystic1, keep doing the Lord's work.

nwachiabiama100:
And sick in the head and far removed from reality is anybody who thinks that Buharis attendance in UN general Assembly meeting is a testament to the fact that the world and its governing bodies do not condemn his innumerable atrocious dispositions.

Waste is such a person's education.

Brainwashed and irredeemable slaves of Hausa Fulani who see nothing wrong in anything whatsoever their master does.

If you got nothing to say, please shut your foul rancid mouth and leave me out of your ignorance.

Why would I want to go where I will receive backlash? Especially in that your so-called UN, where according to your Lierector, they have ordered referendum for Biafra?
You know that it is a lie from the pit of hell, but you want to tell yourself anything to just console yourself.

It is you who has been brainwashed by a dropout from UNN with no known source of income aside from feigning a fraudulent cause.

And that, my friend is worse than anything.

An aged man living in his father's house telling people like you how to gain independence, but that won't register in your thick concrete skull.

Deal with the terrorist tag you and your unfortunate ilk have been branded with instead of pouring your frustrated vituperations on me.

KingMicky3286:
When you benefit from amnesty ,thats when you dont see anything bad in the governance of Nigeria. If i swear for you, it will reach your body, dont insult me because in my post i did not insult you or anyone.

Since i was born till now, what can i boast of about Nigeria nationally and international. I applied for a Job few days ago and they were willing for me to start, once i told them that I am from Nigeria, they said sorry, we dont take Nigerians..... So tell me if Nigeria is good will anyone agitate .

I live in abroad and many of them dont know what is PASSPORT because they dont need it to run out of their country because their country is good and peaceful .

Oga if you don't have anything to say, just shut up and find something meaningful to do with your life.

Don't quote me if you don't have anything intelligent to say.

I'm still waiting for your proof that the president working on Sunday is wrong.

Thank you.

nwachiabiama100:
Look who is talking about verifiable link. This fake news giving you orgasm, where is your proof.

Your deep seated resentment for Igbo, from time immemorial, is beyond imagination. Yoruba una dey try o

You set the ball rolling with your id1ocy. I'm only indulging you in your favorite pastime, which is making yourself look stup1d.


Now prove that the UN and co have condemned it. Afterall, isn't the president in New York for the UN general assembly? If the UN was condemning it, don't you think he would have backtracked on going there, given that he would certainly face backlash of some sort?

But simple logic escapes that flat entity you claim is your head all because Nnamdi Kanu has influenced you.

And you wonder why people call you folks pigs.

mcquin:
Wait until then. I take words from you guys with a pinch. You said Nigeria will end in 2015, you will burn down the zoo, you guys are importing weapons and this is 2017 with Kanu hiding. So wait till Trump sends international lawyers to your aid.

Are you responding to that product of hate?

Can't you see he has nothing to offer other than regurgitated lies from the mouth of that vermin called Kanu?

Don't you know that 99% of them have nothing tangible to offer anybody?

OjukwuWarBird:
Don't worry, when international lawyers manhandle Buhari's government, then your eyes will clear


Buhari will be the first Nigerian President to be rubbished

Until then, you remain a bitter, hollow,empty,vacuous, chest-beating ape with a palm kernel brain.

You cannot prove the UN has condemned it, aside from speculation. But you want us to take you serious when you have no point to make other than braggadocio based on hollow premises and propaganda.

Tell me where the constitution tells the president which days of the week to sign a proclamation or you remain a backward fo0l for life.

nwachiabiama100:
Confusion everywhere. UN, EU, Amnesty all condemned it. Hausa Fulani is desperate. Yoruba as usual is being slimy

Oga,
Show us an official document, not fake, unverifiable links, that the EU and UN have condemned it.

Otherwise, you should hang your propaganda brainwashed head in shame.

KingMicky3286:
Okay Nigeria now have Sunday as an official working days, that means this is a gang up against some section of the country . Unity beggers ..

Buhari has committed an offence by working on a Sunday which is not allowed in our constitution .

When we call you iPob supporters fo0ls, you will start hyperventilating.
You and the mor0n that liked this post are officially wasted semen that should have been shielded by a working condom.

Can you provide links to the highlighted claim of yours, of forever be termed a demeted mor0n?

Thank you

Some people should just take an envelope and address mails to themselves for just misyarning.

CEO Griffon, I'm looking at you.

Nihilist:
What does 'Unsettled' actually mean? Most footballers are professional, with the exception of the few psycho nutjobs like Costa and William Gallas.

I'm sure you're referring to the ideal state where we think or expect that players should behave a certain kind of way.
Because if the stories we heard about the conduct of these players have any kind of truth, I'm pretty sure it's safe to conclude that people like Coutinho, Mbappe (though not in England) have acted unprofessionally (e.g. back injury, refusing to train and the like)

so in that sense, I could say that being unsettled means they have their heart set on a move away from their present club as a result of a big bid from a big club.

Nihilist:
It's in no player's interest to refuse to train or refuse to play to the best of his ability as each training session is an opportunity to stay fit, and each match played is an opportunity to advertise your wares.

Dem no born the likes of Coutinho and VVD well to pull some funny stunts now the window is closed. Infact, both have reportedly returned to full training with their respective teams

Largely true.
But unfortunately, during the transfer window, this type of behavior (e.g. not training or playing) has become the norm because players used to have the power to sort of dictate where they would play the coming season to an extent. It was only this summer we saw clubs actually refuse to sell players under contract in spite of large sums offered, so in that sense ,the clubs might be sending a message that they call the shots.
Of course you could be in breach of contract if you forgo your duties, which is why nobody will attempt that move when the window is closed. But everyone who has a chance to play for a big club will try every move possible to get his wish, regardless of the effect on the team.

Nihilist:
We can't underestimate the effect that exile to the reserves or solitary training in combination with financial penalty can have on a player's attitude. Costa is currently without a club, and to further rub ata rodo into the wound, his replacement has been firing for club and country.

By January, Atletico might not want him sef, and Chelsea are not obligated to sell.

Unless you're Ronaldo or Messi, these days EPL clubs can and will deal with you if you step out of line - ask Yaya Toure.

You have made valid points.
But the converse of the scenario you painted could also happen, i.e. Costa's replacement could be out with a long-term injury or lose form.
In that event, what does Chelsea do?

To an extent, stand-offs with a wantaway player are a gamble, even with the club holding so many aces , in my view. I'd rather have a player who isn't focused with the club's targets for the season ahead leave than have him disrupt the whole team chemistry,given that the player may have a close-knit fraternity with some teammates who would be seemingly sympathetic, especially if the player preaches the gospel of it-could-happen-to-you to them.

Nihilist:
Completely Agree.

Too bad, it does not matter who buys which club in Bundesliga - Bayern will still steal all the good players

My point exactly in the first place.

Even if the clubs feel a shorter window might bridge the gap, the Citys Uniteds, Chelseas, etc will offer more money to get their targets. So it doesn't really change anything in the long run.
It should make those big clubs more proactive in pursuing targets during a shortened summer as well.

Nihilist:
The money that's in the EPL now makes it a lot harder to unsettle players - ask Costa, Sanchez, VVD and Coutinho.

An EPL club can actually say and mean no, without worrying about the repercussion

I think the clubs are just refusing to sell. The players are obviously unsettled.

This will only drive up the already over-inflated prices in the market where you have to pay above 50 million to get a decent/above average player.

Dhellake:
Bad move in my opinion. Will make sense if it is closing for both selling and buying, allowing clubs to still afterwards means the likes of Barca and MAdrid can get to unsettle an EPL player while the club can't get to replace/

Spot on.

Unfortunately the English for all their innovation aren't very smart people.

This will only empower European opponents the more.

I'm thinking the idea for this was borne from the supposed need of the smaller clubs to somewhat curtail the spending by the big sides. But it will only mean that those big sides will do spend more to negate whatever disadvantages this new rule will attempt to bridge. Even from a simplistic view it makes sense to keep the window open for as long as possible to enable you strengthen.

Skimpledawg:
HoopLA why!? Why?

BlueAngel444 and Hensben, coman reply your mail sirs.

Thank yo

Attack the sender biko

I see that your Vespa is on Ikorodu road. I should write a letter of commendation to your boss, Griffon Enefiok, for good service. As a supervisor who is willing to get his hands dirty,you deserve a good word on your behalf.

Hope you know you are calling the same person; the imaginary friend and the original in that order?

Do you now deliver to imaginary people? That would be an achievement in itself

Meanwhile what kind of farce has your thread descended into?

eph12:


Just help me carry that bluefool guy dey go. Thanks

We prefer hens brain abeg

BlueRat-444 is one of the imaginary alter egos of HensToad.
Just kuku carry the original and you've dealt with the other one

Odunharry:
Messi, Dinho and others for me. These two people play as if football is so so easy.
Still have clips of Dinho when he went to Milan. come and see magic.

Let's not even talk about how he disgraced Salgado and friends or the match vs Milan.


Only Makelele IMO can mark him out. Not Gattuso, no other defender.

Ronaldinho was effectively finished by the time he left Barca.
He was a shadow of himself at Milan.
There may have been flashes of brilliance while at the San Siro but he was nowhere near the high levels of performance he usuallyj gave where Bernabeu fans gave him a standing ovation in05,I think.
He couldn't even inspire them to eliminate a rag tag United squad that was essentially led by Rooney in the champions league.

CapitalCee:
Joeace2020 have said it all , we usually ignore I'd.iotic comments as the one you quoted. With time you will know them, don't waste your time arguing with this bluemumu, even when he/she comment on their thread. The sensible ones among them will be ashamed of themselves. More recently bluenobrain typed that Christensen of Chelsea is better than all United defenders and that Batshauyi is a better player than Rashford.
Beware of Hen's brain another shekpe fan, his football analysis will leave you astonished for weeks.

Hensgoat should be used to interrogate stubborn suspects by the DSS.
By the time he hits you with one of his analysis, na to just confess straight.
Evans the kidnapper for don agree say im be criminal by now.

joeace2020:
Atleast he is more manageable on his off days than hens brain. That one is permanently off!

You're not getting it.
Schizophrenic sufferers display a wide range of behaviors. BlueGoat-444 is the pseudo-intelligent version of Hens-fo0l, the original template and genesis of the droves of zombie troll monsters. Unfortunately its IQ is in deficit and it might not live long enough to bring its value close to zero.
BlueFool says Batshuayi is better than Rashford

joeace2020:
When we welcomed you here, bluenobrain is one of the people we told you about. They make ridiculous unverifiable claims and pull out stats from their a$$ like a true Ogogoro drinking shekpite that they are looking for arguments that by the time everyone is done one week after, nothing would have been learned instead u will discover that shekpites usually shut off their brain once they want to start arguing. They are the only people that will tell you players who played 10 minutes all season played more than those with 180 minutes because the one that played 10 minutes was playing 1 minute across 10 matches which is more than the other one who played just 2 full matches of 90 minutes. Their reasoning will leave you in awe and gasping for air. Just do well to avoid them because a well suited educated man cannot have intelligent discourse with an Agbero.

BlueDumbo is the female version of hens-ass.
It manifests multiple personality disorders/schizophrenic tendencies.
In this case the number of personalities it displays is in legion.
This version is the one we can quote today.

afrodoc2:
De Lima is Ronaldinho's oga anytime. In an era when hired killers were masquerading as defenders, the era of 2 footed sliding tackles and tackle from behind Ronaldo was still king. Power, pace, finising, step over of life with dribble and leave for dead mode, unbelievable no 9 IQ, World Cup Golden Ball, World Cup Golden Boot, Twice broke the world record transfer fee BEFORE he was 21.
Did almost all the above playing with dodgy knees, clubbing and eating lots of cake.

If I'm going to call all time greats in order, Ronnie comes before Gaucho.

It's not that hard for me.

he passes the eye test better and his individual accomplishments add to the argument.
The knock on him is his lack of a Champions League medal, and his "detractors" think it's enough to disqualify him.

Griffon:
No he wasn't because he spent more time enjoying the Parisian nightlife rather than focus on his football then.

That still didn't stop him from scoring against England from an innocuous position 35 yards out

lol, that goal wasn't intended.

Give Ronaldinho a thousand more lifetimes, he will never replicate that goal, even with the likes of Seaman in goal.

Zizou:
3 time WPOTY.
Euro 2000 best player
World cup 2006 best player
To mention a few.

Nihilist:
Quite simply, Ronaldinho has won every tournament de lima won. It's not the same vice versa.

For me Ronaldinho wasn't the best player on the 2002 world cup team for example.
Rivaldo and Ronaldo had more impact. Ronaldo was top scorer and second best player in that tournament, for example.

Nihilist:
If you look at the complete set of collectibles, that UCL that De Lima lacks puts Dinho ahead of him. It's very very tight, but that's the only way I can differentiate.

Fair point. But it's not enough for me.

Nihilist:
Also Dinho's WPOTY awards are not world cup or Euros related - They are for being the best player over 2 seasons, not over 8 games like Zidane.

Ronaldo won the WPOTY in 1996.
Zizou in 2003.

Those weren't world cup or copa years for both involved.

Ronaldo's debut season at Barcelona was something else, better in terms of output than anything Ronaldinho achieved as far as the eye can see.

Nihilist:
In terms of Impact on the pitch, Dinho's electric performance can only be matched by de Lima. Zizou was never the magical dynamo on the pitch like those 2.

So in my opinon, Dinho is ahead of Zizou and R9.

Respect your opinion, this is largely a subjective debate.

The main thing I would say goes for Dinho is the fact that he could be said to have played with less illustrious teammates than Zizou and Ronaldo to achieve whatever he did.

My gripe with his was that he sort of fizzled out.

Griffon:
No one is yet to match Dinho's wizardry, absolutely no one.

Man hardly had a bad day, he was a delight to watch and a thorn on defenders.

I'm sure you've forgotten about Denilson, but that is really not the issue for me.


he flopped at the world cup in 2006 and was nearly an afterthought afterwards.

He was unceremoniously shipped off to Milan at 28, supposedly at the height of his career and has not managed to come anywhere near the glorious heights he once dominated.
