This is a good performance so far and great tactics from JM.

Im fearing a slaughter at the hands of spurs. I hope I am wrong.

Mourinholic:
Mourinho: "A #10 for me is an eight-and-a-
half when the team loses the ball, and the #
10 is a nine-and-a-half when the team has
the ball"



Any player that fits as Mourinho's perfect 10 in the market?

Plenty.

Thats my definition of a no10 also.

Murder on the dancefloor.

This is the one of best battles this year.

Lagunna surprised me with the punches. I knew he could spit but didn't know he could punch. Lagunna was 8/10 all through.

The first half of Ksslibs verse was 9/10. That Greys anatomy and Business must boom were haymakers to me. The second half of his verse dropped off the pace though to make the battle seem equal in my eyes.

I'm calling this draw soup so far. I will need to come back and do a criteria based verd to split the vote.

I don kill Dyabman o. Someone should please come and carry his corpse.

When you talk of Chelsea 2012 UCL win, these are the major players in order of importance from the quarter final against Napoli to the final against Bayern

Drogba
Cech
Ramires
Lampard
Mikel
Bosingwa
Luiz
Cahill
Meireles
Cole
Kalou
.
.
.
.
Torres
Mata
Terry


Na wetin some boys want take argue Mata place in the pantheon of Chelsea greats. SMH.

Who go argue with those facts.

Matas major contribution to Chelsea was FA Cup 2012. We cannot compare him to players that have been important players in winning titles and UCLs.

timbros:
Joe Cole over Juan Mata?

Chai..... Na wao

Joe Cole contributed immensely to 2006 and 2010 titles. For months he even carried that 2006 team.

Tell us what Mata has contributed apart from being a passenger when men were playing football?

timbros:
And we had Mata when we won the Holy grail. Plus Europa the next season.

And we carried him through those.

Salomon Kalou had bigger influence than Mata in the UCL run. That is a FACT!

How can a nigga whose major claim to importance at Chelsea is the UCL try to grab a place in all time 11 when he was the worst of all Chelsea players in that UCL run.

Euro final against Benfica, Matic and Gaitan absolutely murdered him. Nigga was non existant. You will tell me that a hoofed clearance he made that fell kindly for Torres was an assist. You might as well tell me Ashley Cole assisted Torres at Camp Nou.

Thag nigga was out of here against Benfica. The worst player on the pitch by far. A 12 year old playing with men and his performance stunk to high heavens.

Mata ko, Matthias ni!

Abeg enuff revisionism. We no carry eye watch match?

timbros:
I'm surprised how people rubbish Mata here.

2012 we won the UCL. Chelsea's Player of the year (an award the players themselves voted): Juan Mata. His goals/assists 8/17

2013 we won the EL. Chelsea's Player of the year: Juan Mata. His goals/assists 19/35

Is it a coincidence that he won our player of the year consecutively in those years we won European titles?

Ibime and Co only remember Mata for his missed penalty again Bayern but forgot that he assisted Drogba's equaliser. You guys forgot that he equally assisted Torres opening goal vs Benfica in EL final and assisted Ivanovic's winner in that same match.

Stats, they say, don't lie. I don't see how a player who has 3 assists in 2 back to back European final is 'just a passenger' in the team.

If not for Mourinho's defensive philosophy, Juan Mata would still be in Chelsea now racking up assists here.

Leave all those corner kick assists. We carried Mata through UCL and everyone knows it.

If Jose wasnt here, Mata would be racking assists and finishing 4th after being bullied in midfield all game. We got rid of Mata and immediately competed for title, then won it the next year. No complaints.

Mata make Chelsea all time 11? Only if I was born yesterday. He cant make my 3rd 11!

AdeLaNa1:
Ehn Mata missed penalty. So??
Who no dey miss penalty??

C.Ro missed penalty in 2008. He still won the UCL dat same evening. He later won Balon D' Or the ffg yr and he forever has the respect of United fans.

Anyways, na ur opinion. I cant force u to like a player u obviously dont want to like

Penalty or no penalty, Mata was a passenger throughout the UCL campaign and in the Europa final.

His missing of the penalty only underlines his uselessness in those campaigns.

timbros:
Why is no one mentioning Mata in their Chelsea all time XI? This guy got us back to back European titles.

Mata got us what?

You dey craze.

Mata was the weakest link in those European campaigns. He didnt get us shi shi. We got him those titles.

The mo'phucker was even the only nigga to miss his penalty in Munich.

If I hear. . . .

Dhelake:
Alex Teixeira Anyone?? Same way Douglas Costa was toasting us this time last year

Another winger.

Emenalo will sign 100 wingers looking for solution.

Myopia means having a narrow focus and having a blind spot. That word was invented for Emenalo.

This ninja must have been so terrorised by wingers in his days as a left back, he is suffering from post traumatic stress.

Consequently the importance of wingers is disproportionately overblown in his mind.

When Traore and Kennedy get sent on loan or sold to accomodate this new winger, make una no come blame anybody 2 years down the line.

Nihilist:
Gerrard built a career of carrying Liverpool on his Back.

Istanbul 2005. The FA CuP final against West Ham the next year. So many examples of Gerrard dragging Liverpool by the scruff of the neck.

And Gerrard is better than Scholes Abeg. If he wasn't too sentimental, he could have gone to Manyoo and been Scholes. Or he could have come to us.

Remember this guy caused Scholes to retire from England before the age of 30.

All that one na Roy of the Rovers storylines. For example, Benayoun dominated Gerrard to shege in that 2006 FA Cup final, against West Ham of all people, before Gerrard had to dig out his long range shots after being pissed on in midfield all game. It looks all good digging out last minute shots, but I prefer ninjas who dominate the midfield and win cleanly, rather than telling us story how you dug out a struggling team.

As for Roy Keane, I no dey take am play after that Juventus game.

Juve were undoubtably the best team in Europe then, dominating Serie A (the best league by far), boasting players like Nedved, Davids, Inzaghi, Deschamps, Del Piero and Zidane to boot.

They won UCL in 96, and were finalists in 1997 and 1998. So when Manure drew them in 1999 semi, I was busy celebrating.

They came to Old Trafford and took a 1-1 draw, everybody said they would smash Manure in Turin. . . . until Keane put in this performance to take a 3-2 win. From then on, I no dey carry Keane play


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2RVQx8J2Sk

Bruce, is that all abi na mistake?

Nihilist:
Keane will only make my team for inspirational reasons. Technique limited. Scoring ability limited.

Gerrard is Keane + Skills.

Xabi Alonso is Makelele + Skills.

Neither Kean nor Claude will make my team

Leave that thing. Na age dey talk here. The Keane you remember is the old man in the 2000s.

Go watch Utd vs Inter is UCL quarter final 1999 and Utd vs Juventus in semi-final 99 to know what Keane is about. This is when Italian teams were ruling Europe. See the way Keane destroyed Juve midfield in Turin to win 3-2. This is when Juve were the most fearsome team in Europe.

Niggas were saying they not sure what Keane brings - that's because he is 8/10 in everything, not 10/10 in any particular thing. The ninja so dominated Premiership then, opposition couldn't breathe. It took for Keane to suffer a long-term knee injury in 2000 for Arsenal to win the league, then ninjas started saying they now see his influence in his absence.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If na skills, Gerrard is a non starter when compared to Scholes. I mean controlling possession, not running and shooting.

Maka deserves a shout having defined his position in EPL lexicon.

I Dare 007 like I'm scripting a letter/ there ll be no Quantum of solace for this pitiful fella/
He better ‘ghost’. . . .before I blast him to Skyfall. . . and turn him into a ‘Spectre’!!/

Hes getting slaughtered for bluffing/ with the slugs that ah brought in/
cos Ibime had him shoved in a coffin/ and left cuts in the muffin/. . . when he opened 7 up like he was popping a soft drink!!/

He ain't Coogar but he's a goof and a bluffer/ who specialise in duping his lovers/
whatsapp screenshots ll soon show the dudes an imposter/
I'll act like Babe3 when I'm pulling his boxers/. . . cos every punch I use on the brother/ ll expose his lies and prove he’s a fraudster!!/

From 'Isolo' to 'Ikeja' my writtens are famous/ but his rubbish gimmicks don't shake us/
if he try to pull the Desert Eagle. . . his defeat’ll be heinous/ so he better hide it at the crib of his neighbours/
. . .else if 'O show D' . . . I'll kill him in 'Lagos'!!/

His profile shows that he must be a thief/ cos he claims Lewisham when everybody can see/ that he can't afford a place like London to be/
cos you ll only see this P close to UK . . . . staring at your sim's Personal Unblocking Key! /

His weak puns won't avail him to win/ and his punches carry no weight like weak ggays in a gym/
he swore to demobilize Dark by breaking his chin/ but ran when Rebel brought a blade to the scene/
. . . cos he still couldn't keep 'D still'. . . if he was making a gin!/

He promised to put an end to my antics/ but watch me blow this pest to Atlantis /
its gonna be an easy win as I descend on the wack bbitch/ cos just one line and I'll cancel O . . . empty set in mathematics!!/

His standard is too poor, even his admirers are fewer/ but my raps must be super/ plus they ain't lacking in humour/
so he ll develop cancer and die like Kwame Nkrumah/ soon as I start cracking the loser/
cos I put niggas in grave danger when my Bars surge . . . Tariah Jnr!!/

Why did I even battle this creature?/ I beat him into having a seizure/
cos backing the camera with a cap on the nigga/ gives him the swag of a swindler/ plus with the silly dress code the animal feature/
he ll never 'cut a Bright figure' . . .carving Basketmouth's picture!!/

You can't beat a champion/ my shots won't be 'Missing you' when I lift a magnum/ cos I 'Bring it on' to bleed queers at random/
so when you see this 'Enemy so low'. . . it's because I gave 'Double trouble' . . like 'Psquare's album!!/

007Bruce:
Ibime, i see you online.

Lets post.

You still dey? If so go post.

Nihilist:
Gerrard over Scholes for me. I don't want Blind overrated ginger Albinos in my team. And he couldn't tackle too

Keane and Makelele first before you even get to Gerrard. I would probably add Alonso, Essien and Ballack if they stayed in EPL longer.

I'm pissed not having space in my team for Keane, na Gerrard I go come add?

CFCfan:
How about an all-star EPL 11.My line up will be as follows:

-------------------Cech-----------------

G. Neville----Terry----Bruce-----A. Cole

-------------Makalele--------------

---------Lampard----Vieira----------

---Duff-----Henry-----Robben--------

Subs:
Van Der Sar
Carvalho
Vidic
Gerrard
Drogba
Beckham
Roy Keane

Steve Bruce can never make even EPL 7th 11. Someone who could not even win a single England cap.

From Man Utd alone, Ronny Johnsen, Vidic, Ferdinand and Jaap Stam are greater than him, talkless of the famous Arsenal back four of the 1990s and early 2000s, The Chelsea back four of the mid-2000s or niggas like Sol Campbell, Ledley King, Sammi Hyppia, Lucas Radebe etc

Tony Adams must make the 11. His centre-back partner would be any of Vidic, Stam, Ferdinand, Terry or Campbell depending on your preference.

My team:

---------------Schmeichel

-------Adams----Vidic------Stam

----------Vieira-------Scholes

----------------Lampard

Ronaldo-----------------------Giggs

----------Shearer------Henry


Subs:

Cech
Neville
Cole
Keane
Pires
Bergkamp
Van Nistelrooy

Griffon:
It is quite strange seeing these lot getting this recognition

I cant believe we once accomodated wastemen like Miniero and Tal Ben Him. A lot was said about the latter during his days at Bolton though, some neophytes considered him to be the Israeli Baresi.

What have you got on Benayoun, SWP, Fleck, Parker and Mutu? They were not just here or there.

Heck, I forgot SWP.

Benayoun didnt cost much so Ima leave him out.

Parker was alright, a young man then. Mutu was cocaine cowboy. At least he shone for 3 months. I will put his flopping down to drug addiction.

Who be Fleck? I dont remember that name at Chelsea.

SailorXY:
+
Robert Huth
Filipe Luis
Adrian Mutu*

Robert Huth no flop at all. He was an academy product who did brilliant when called upon but got swept away by Romans billions, similar to Welbeck at Utd.

Griffon:
Why don't we do lists of Chelsea flops?

Damn me! Torres and Shevchenko would be spear-heading my attack

Im playing only 3 defenders to make space for strikers. Only including big name signings and those who played a lot


----------------------------------Mark Bosnich

------------Boulahrouz------Bogarde---------Del Horno

---------------------Jokanovic-----------Veron

-----------------------------------Zenden

------Torres---------------Chris Sutton----------Shevchenko

Special shout out to:

Pierluigi Casiraghi
Claudio Pizarro
Paulo Ferreira (flopped for 6 out of 8 years)
Mikel (dont ask)
Mineiro (signed when Essien got injured in 2008, only played 1 game and was finished)
Ricardo Quaresma (6 month loan flop despite the hype)
Geremi (expected little from the old man anyway)
Marko Marin (not really a flop cos I expected little from him)
Florent Malouda (only 1 good season in 6 years)
Yuri Zhirkov
Bosingwa (1 good season in 5 years)
Mario Stanic (half a season of decent footie till injury claimed him)
Tal Ben Haim

airmark:
May be because he did nt see much of claude. Essien was n't bad to be in the list if you ask me though. We have players who deserve slots right there. Some will argue it that Joe cole was also awesome in his early years in chelsea especially in 2005/2006 season. To be fair to obi, it's hard to draw the list. If you are to drop your best XI who and who will make it?

He was with Claude for 2 years.

Ferreira lost it in 2006, the same year Mikel joined so how could he could he include Ferreira and not Claude.

Anyway, my Chelsea 11 from 1996 till date would be:

---------------------Cech------------

Azpi----Terry-------Carvalho----------Cole

---------------------Maka

------Essien--------------------Ballack

-------------------Lampard

-------------Drogba-----------Zola


Bench:

Cudicini
Hazard
Robben
Graeme Le Saux
Ivanovic
Gudjohnsen
Gallas - removed for disloyalty but was a great player for Chelsea
Hasselbaink

airmark:
Mikel's chelsea's best XI. Strong team but i am not comfortable with ferreira as RB

Mikel is smoking rock.

Where is Makelele, even Ballack?

And WTF are Joe Cole and Ferreira doing in the team?

007Bruce:
Mikuz or ibime, abeg lets post tonight.

Mikuz has sent me his verse. He says he lost his phone.

Mention me if you see me online later.

This guy has now suffered 2 different injuries while recovering from a 3rd...

End time injury

Crazy man.

Giyazz, I dey travel those areas. Abeg vivaladiva99 come tell us about Curacao. What brings a Nigerian to Curacao?

GIYAZZ:
I thought you have married?

You dey mad!!!

How many Nigerians do you know from Curacao? If you see one, you no go ask? Its natural to be curious.

You no where Curacao be sef? Nnewi boy!

Vivalavida99:
Spamming you say? But the mail originated from my best friend's email address as if she is the one that sent it to me. Maybe then it's gotta be that my best friend email was compromised or something thereabout, not?

Anyway, thanks a bunch.

Yeah, someone must have hacked her emails. Happens quite often.

BTW, this Curacao wey you dey claim, do you really live there? As in the Dutch colony in the Carribean?

Inside this hot sun na him una wear jacket and tight jeans.

Deliverance is on its way.

Vivalavida99:
I tried to check if i was hacked into with the link you sent and it says " good news no pwnage found". This means my email is not compromised right?

Now my question is how reliable is this link, I'm asking bcuz i received an email from two of my close friends, see below the mails.

Meanwhile this friends are here with me in same city.

How come?

This is not hacking, this is just spamming.

Google will alert you when someone tries to log into your email with an unknown device, and will give you location and ip of the device trying to log in. Thats if youre on gmail.
