ELYMAXiimus:
bis, that rhyme is almost perfect na. The end vowel sounds rhymed, right?
Do you mean i should have rhymed both the vowel nd the consonant sounds?

Nah, there's a difference between water and waters. The vowel sound changes when you add the s.

In the middle of work right now, will expatiate later

ELYMAXiimus:
so "goodluck" doesnt rhyme with shoe stock?

No it doesn't

ELYMAXiimus:
nd i think cautious nd water rhymes. But maybe not a hundred percent.
I'd have to make it "waters" to achieve that..... But that'd be an english blunder.


cautious - /ˈkɔːʃəs/

water - /ˈwɔːtə/

Thats why you can choose a different word that rhymes better

My opinion is that Rebel had light punches after long arse build-ups which is a dissapointment to me. If you are going to build up for so long, don't finish with a light punch - that's double dissapointment. At least his rhymes kept things flowing.

ElyMax also did the long-arse build-ups which was made doubly dissapointing because almost all his rhymes are imperfect rhymes. eg cautious is not a perfect rhyme with water, shoe stop is not a perfect rhyme with Goodluck etc etc. When someone has not perfected the art of rhyming, I prefer them to drop the punch ASAP. By the time the punch dropped on Elymax verse, I was losing interest. The punches were harder than Rebel's but not many were fresh concepts in my opinion.

So I'm undecided. Lemme tally up the criteria and see who comes out on top.


opener - 1 point - Max

•rhymes - 2 points - Rebel

•similes/ metaphors - 2 points - Rebel

•punchlines -3 points - Max

•personals - 2 points - Tie

•flow - 1 point - Max

•wordplays - 2 points - N/A (I wasn't impressed with Max's wordplay and Rebel had none)

•closer - 1 point - Rebel


Total:

Max = 5, Rebel = 5


MVGT - Tie


Let the other judges votes break the tie

The English press has gone crazy, quoting £25m+ for every journey man in the market. Even their rumours aren't creative - they just slap stupid prices on players who ain't worth those pennies.

Aldeweireld
Fabian Schar
Pepe Reina
Aleix Vidal
Nani
N'Zonzi
Khedira
Ings
Milner


None of these players cost (much) more than £10m yet they are more proven than some of the clowns being touted for £20m+

Others still on market include Kevin Mirallas for £7m, Begovic for £8m, Jordy Clasie for £10-£12m etc.

Yet these journalists keep pulling fantasy numbers and hyping the market

I beg to differ. . . both semis are falling hand right now. . . . nothing is pushing me to vote, so I go wait make my fellow judges highlight bars for me to look at from a different angle. . . .

Nihilist:
Nzonzi to Sevilla for 7 million....

That guy is not bad o

He's a good player. If we did not have Matic, I would be recommending him for Chelsea. Him and Matic together would be overkill though cos neither would drive forward.

OP, are you the first African to face demands for money? So why the long sob story.

Next time they ask you for money, ask them back. End of story.

Nihilist:
Courtois looked class in training today, not letting 1 goal in from 3000 shots. Tomorrow, he & Falcao will train with the rest of the squad.

Falcao must be the one taking the shots!


BTW, surprised we got money for McEachran. Weak ninja who refused to improve his muscles or his stamina. Good riddance. Reminds me of Jon Harley who came through with John Terry and was supposed to be our left-back for years to come, but he could not put an ounce of muscle on his body and failed to make it.

ELYMAXiimus:
i just clicked like, since no one would!



Sike!!!


You need to work on ur pronunciation of words....

Mar tricks / matrix is forced

Poor chase/ purchase is totally off.

Nd those were in the cypher i wanned liricyst(maverick) to kick you out of.
I knew you'd ruin it.

I really enjoyed mav's verse tho. Top-notch.

You need to work on the bolded yourself. . . . it is the weakest part of your game. . . .

@ Emaprince,

So you stopped tourney so Rebel can go participate in couples competition? SMH!

AirborneLacer:
Reports has it that we've made an offer of around £11m per season for three years to Wembley to become our temporary residence while Stamford Bridge is rebuilt.

Good call IMO, one that would unfortunately affect the Chelsea ticket holders based in North London.

Makes little sense considering West Ham are paying £2m a year for the Olympic stadium. If you sell 80000 tickets at £60 average for 30 home games, you'll gross £14.4m. . . . .Policing cost will swallow the difference between £11m and £14m.

AirborneLacer:
Hehe

Someone has got issues with my precocious nature. Mister I'm irrefutably charismatic, deal with it.

Actually I've got nothing against morons like you, someone got to entertain. It's only difficult to argue with a airhead like you on an intellectual level.

If I'm striving for relevance as you opined, then that's a good thing. It goes to show I cherish class and I reach for it. Tell me about you, where do you belong?

I never knew about your username until you decided to project your idiocy on this thread. Which section do you frequent most? Are you known there?

See? I'm giving you reasons to strive for relevance.

I woke up this morning as a christian, don't push me. I have over a million cuss words to rain on you if you don't stop stalking me, and that could still be extended to your cocksucking parents if care is not taken.

You've been warned.

Mr man, your grammar and diction has improved tremendously over the last couple of years. No mind the haters jare. Nairaland is a different form of education where people get to polish their writing skills while chatting with their peers. Every form of learning and self-improvement should be encouraged. God knows I see many Nigerians writing bollocks on NL like "it doesn't worth it" or "I loose my phone". It makes me think that our education system has gone to the dogs.

Raumdeuter used to be the same many years ago, but he polished his diction tremendously on Nairaland. Now you would think he learned English from the Queen of England herself.

Been peeping Pasalics performance in La Liga last season. . . the boy done good. . . he travels well with the ball, 2 footed and combative.

Banger!

Some great lines don't need puns, metas or wordplay, just skillfull use of the English language and rhymes


This reminds me of 2 of my old lines:

36STATES:
You are right. Only that you omitted Kanu Nwankwo who should replace Rashidi Yekini on the list.

Kanu who scored 1 goal in 5 Nations Cups should replace Naija top scorer? Na lie.

If you talking flying Eagles or Under-23, yes, Kanu is the boss. If you talking senior football, Kanu can't make my top10 SE players.

My top 6:


(1.) Sunday Oliseh
(2.) Finidi George
(3.) Rashidi Yekini
(4.) Jay Jay Okocha
(5.) Daniel Amokachi
(6.) Emmanuel Amunike

dulux07:
Tree snakes r not found in africa, mainly in australia.

Sorry, just call it Green snake. I added tree cos I always find it in trees.

It's definitely not a mamba. Green Mambas are longer and have a black colouration running through their green scales.

dulux07:
Thank God it did not bite u. If m not mistaken thats a west africa green mamba, its highly venomous, n its bite could be fatal. Never judge a snake by its size.

That's not a green mamba, that's a green tree snake

AirborneLacer:
Boss did you really sip an alcohol as adviced?

Looking at it from many angles:

- Even if Falcao earn £180k a week with us, that amount to around £7m for the year all costs inclusive. If you consider the going rate for a Charlie Austin is £16m and Benteke £32m, without including salaries, it's a fairly inexpensive deal. We also no longer have the £80k a week Drogba was costing on our books, so it's more than manageable.

- The report I heard has it that instead of paying the substantial sum of £7m, we only gave Monaco Mario Pasalic on loan. In essence, we get Falcao for free and get to develop one of our most promising prospects in the process.

- With Falcao, Remy and Costa, we are well covered in the striking department. Drogba whom Falcao is replacing, only needed to make minimal contributions last term.

- If Falcao Performs well and Pasalic develops well, it's a big win. If Falcao doesn't perform well but Pasalic develops well, it's still a big win. If both players fail to perform well, then it's a disappointment but more so b'cos of Pasalic than Falcao.

We don't need to wait on Falcao to bang in the goals before this deal get to be considered a success. Looking at it from other angles, we practically nailed a no-risk signing.

Backward reasoning.

We have ready made 3rd striker in Traore at no cost, who is better than Falcao currently.

I don't see how shelling circa £10m for Falcao for one season is good business.

I don't usually believe in Daily Express but I believe this headline is true:

"Jose Mourinho demands super-agent Jorge Mendes sells Chelsea flop Juan Cuadrado"

AirborneLacer:
Grab a seat, take a sip of alcohol and think about Falcao's deal, only then will you realise we just pulled out one of the best deals of the summer.

pffft.

Deals are measured by productivity. Because someone priced a molue at £50m does not mean you should be happy to buy it at £10m.

Remy scored double the goals of Falcao in half the minutes last season, so how does paying Falcao £140k (plus £3m loan fee) represent a deal when ninjas like Remy are on £70k. Codswallop!

Oscar the hype man. Everybody's price is going up, his price is reducing, despiting being given first team shirt for Chelsea and Brazil.

Stingers

Since Salah has rejected Fiorentina and his agent has stated he is joining another Italian Club, I'm expecting serious cash for him this summer - say £18m from Inter Milan.

hensben:
why should I accept correction from you when you fail to understand my point. I heard barca wants him too, are they going to play him on the wing? Answer me..I meant beside matic not behind.

Mr Stronghead, you done come again.

He can't play beside Matic nor behind Matic.

He has never been a central midfielder.

You specifically said "he does not play on the wing" when he is known worldwide as a winger.

When will you stop being strongheaded and just STFU!

Na wa o.

Ramires £20k pay rise. He should be taking paycut after the season he just had.

Be like Barca is winning the race for Turan

Good jare. We can't be buying 28 year olds for £29m.

Hope dem no wan return moses to us ? They shud pay up fast.......

Meanwhile is Moses not better dan caudrado ?

Moses is 5x better than Cuadrado

Stoke were keen on Moses but he snubbed them cos he's aiming higher. . . maybe Spurs or Everton

Good battle. The he won I line was classic, likewise the Jig 'Saw' loser play.

Lahkay gets ma vote.

Here's the lyrics for crisp understanding.

Good stuff. . . . cool 1997 vibe. . ..

bigkesh:
One thing I don't understand and don't wanna understand is a fan calling another fan 'shekpe'..Total gibberish
Whether shekpe,paraga,dry gin,champagne or even Zobo,he is a Chelsea fan......
If others say Chelsea fans are thug,y should I care? Football is for everyone, You are a fan and so am I....
Whatever he does or whatever his football knowledge is doesn't really matter, he loves the same club u do...
Making a mistake isn't bad at all,if anything the 'shekpe' part is insulting and rubbing it over.....

If I see a Chelsea fan with a poor knowledge of something, I try to explain...... If its Arsenal, then I can troll,no p.......
The guy isn't even poor set
Ronaldo didn't know anything about Gotze 3 years ago,when the world was raving about him...Its not a crime

What the Bleep is the Essence of this platform if we can't Educate and interact.....

If u like form a group for the 'proper Chelsea',We have heard a lot of crazy views of the 'proper Chelsea' ....
Iranu

Ogbeni shush!

Tell that boy to accept correction and stop arguing foolishness with strong head, dazall.
