gerrad embarrassing himself since the chelsea slip

lol

Hahahaha. Gerrard is a clown. That's the fastest red card I've ever seen.

Hahahaha. Gerrard sent off in 32 seconds.

He came on playing risky Hollywood passes, losing the ball and thinking Roy of the Rovers tackles will make him stand out. Rightly sent off.

FBS:
Sterling has been poo! so far anyway.

He's playing wing-back same as Alberto Moreno. What do you expect from him. Both wing-backs are spending all their time defending cos Manure are dominating midfield

Man Utd have completely clamped the midfield with bodies. Liverpool midfield can't get on the ball

Dey there dey tell us say you repent, but has your sexual preference changed?

There's a difference between abstinence and deliverance.

If you put a nàked woman before OP, will he find her exciting?

Na thís kain bros go go marry woman for church and ruin her life because deep down he is not attracted to her.

It's an interesting perspective, one I'm pretty sure we never knew about.

I just can't wait for summer. Fellas who would you like to see at the Bridge?

Koke and Bale for me

^^^ It's not a perspective. It's a standard accounting treatment under IAS38 - Amortisation of intangible assets. . . in other words, depreciation over the lifetime of intangible assets. Whilst depreciation applies to tangible assets şuch as Property, Plant and Equipment, amortisation applies to intangibles like Goodwill, intellectual property, brand value etc. Players contracts are intangible assets because they arise from contractual or legal rights.

If Hazard cost £20m and signs a 4 year deal, you credit the balance sheet £20m initially, then debit £5m to the Income Statement yearly for 4 years whilst crediting (reducing) the asset account by the same value. The yearly cost is therefore £5m plus his yearly salary.

After 3 years, his Balance Sheet value drops to £5m. If you sell him for £50m at the start of the 4th season, you recognise £45m as Income to the P&L as this is the difference between his book value and the consideration received.

The reason his book value or carrying value was not remeasured yearly to reflect his transfer value is because contractual obligations have a useful life which ends the moment his contract expires and because his Fair value cannot be determined by an active market - the main stipulations being homogeneous products and prices available to the public. So next time the fans sing "There's only one Eden Hazard", that's one of the reasons why his value is not remeasured yearly - because footballers are not homogeneous products!

78 points with JT left to play. . . . overhammering

Is he doing well in life?

Is he achieving his goals?

If so, allow him to continue what he enjoys doing in his leisure time. I don't see why the world must end.

naijaguy77:
There was nothing like Oil River in 1890, oil was discovered in 1956 and the term oil river came into use in the 1970s.

Also, the environment does not look like Rivers state in 1890, so either your photo is fake (from another location, maybe the carribean or Calabar), or the date is fake. Either way, there is something wrong with the photo or the claim.

As a side note, Port Harcourt did not even exist in 1890, most of present day Rivers State was this forest and swamp, and people (even Chiefs) dressed minimally because of the heat. All in all, your claim is very doubtful.

Will you stop exposing your ignorance and read your history, mumu.

The oil Rivers has been known since the 1700s and refers to the Palm Oil trade which constituted 90% of British interest in Nigeria, most of which was done with the Niger Delta.

Companies like Royal Niger Company were formed for the purpose in the 1800s

Your great grandfather was the one living in the bush covering his blockos with palm leaves whilst our grandfathers were conducting international trade and sending their children to school. Ewu! Eediot!!!

Harry Kane has caught Diego Costa on 18 goals at the top of the goalscorers chart.

That fella has to win Player of the Season.

Dayz of nonviolence...... not an English language tho

Actually that was a violent time with several wars between Okrika, Kalabari, Bonny etc.

Not to mention the Arochukwu raiding people willynilly and bringing them to the coast to sell.

Just 9 years before thís picture was taken, Jaja of Opobo had committed a grand scale genocide of the Ibeno people.

@ OP, I'll be interested to find out in which Kingdom this picture was taken. One of my forebears may be among them.

nateevs:
And we better be. This Ramires issue, I no understand. We will never have a midfield the type of Ballack, Lampard, Maka/Essien like we had if we keep this Ramires thing on.

Even a Koke, Fab, Matic, Ruben midfield is light in numbers and strength. We still need one dude in the middle with technique and strength. James McCarthy if we don't want to spend money.

Well said. We're on the same page. James McCarthy is a good player. I doubt he'll be cheap though. If Everton signed him for 12.5m, they will want at least 22m.

Top 3 best matches of all time:

Macho man vs Ricky the Dragon Steamboat (Greatest technical match of all time)

Razor Ramon vs Shawn Michaels ladder match

"I think he will be a player to compete for a position. Now is the moment to protect him.

"If in this moment we were sixth or seventh, he would play. But Ruben is a player I expect to compete for a place in the team next season, his evolution is superb.

"I don't speak about Pogba or other players. We look to our midfield players and between Fabregas, Matic, Ramires, Ruben, we have a good group."

- Jose Mourinho

Ibime it seems like our summer would be quiet.

Hehehehe. Make e dey there dey put faith in Ramires. Fly wey follow dead body enter grave, them go bury am join.

Thank God say he no mention Mikel sha. Mikel should read the signs and plan accordingly. Even Ruben is being mentioned over him.

Methinks we will still try for Koke.

Atletico will beat Real. . . I can't see Real taking victory over 2 legs.

PSG vs Barca could go either way but slightly in favour of Barca.

Juve and Bayern will go through.

Bayern and Juve done hammer.

AirborneLacer:
Kovacic and Clasie?

Haba! Make una stop to dey link every average joe to Chelsea.

Playing for Chelsea comes along with a pressure to perform. It wouldn't be fair to start blaming Emenalo for sanctioning a backyard deal when these lot start underperforming

And just like A40 would say, dont take anything coming outta the Seria A at the moment serious.

If we are really CM hunting, then either of Witsel and Kondogbia is the answer. Brawn and technique, that's what these folks have to offer and that's exactly what we need.

We keep defining ''oddity'' by asking Cesc to press, man mark and dictate the play from deep. With two competent fellas in our pivot, we'd be giving Cesc the license to dictate the play in our opposition half. I know that hasn't worked out perfectly fine against the big guns this season, but with less tracking back to do, I believe the spaniard would have more energy to create something out of nothing.

I saw Kovacic at the WC, and I have to be honest, I wasn't impressed with what I saw. Dude is too slow on the ball.

Let's go for them boys that have done well in stiffer challenges abeg.

Kondogbia is a no go as he is left-footed and would be veering to the left side of the pitch where Matic stays. I'm looking for a right-footed ninja.

Witsel is a great shout for Matics partner as I've been calling for for some time. Hopefully he should only have 2 years on his contract so might come at a decent price as well.

Clasie is better in terms of controlling possession better than Witsel though, and also tigerish in pressing but not as physical as Witsel. Clasie is ready for any big club right now, at a very good price as well.

Kovacic from what I've seen combines artistry with good running and pace. I don't know what is happening in Serie A this season though.

Another good shout is Ruben Loftus-Cheek. That could save a lot of cash. Think about it, he is Pogba at Man Utd. A 6ft 4 ninja with the physicality, pace and technique that theoretically should do well if someone is brave enough to give him a shot.

The conclusion of all these matters is that our current CM and AM provision is insufficient as it has been since the day Ballack walked out the club. And Oscar, Ramires and Mikel are the weak links to get shipped if the club addresses these needs.

bigkesh:
Juventus vs bayern is all i want.............. Never seen a team like juventus since mourinho's inter......... 11 weyreys, ballers................. But fancy Pep to pull is magic.... I want this match badly

I've not really seen Juve thís season, but ninjas say the same about Juve every season yet they fail to penetrate the latter stages. Remember they barely made it out their group, they were fighting to qualify with Galatasaray of all people. So if you ask me, a declining Dortmund made them look good. I will not draw judgement till I see them face a top team.

bigkesh:
unless we are selling oscar, i dnt see that happening......... Oscar's decline is painful............ Firmino is also a really good amf

First of all, I think Kovacics natural position will settle as a CM or DM. He plays all 3 positions in central midfield so I was thinking of him in the pivot, with a ninja like Jordy Clasie vying with him to partner Matic.


Second of all, Oscar never declined. Hes always been crap. Last season he disappeared from January to season end . . . . and in his first season, he wasn't much use after Christmas either.

Oscars routine is to grab a couple goals here and there at the start of the season when we are hammering teams 4-0. He's just a beneficiary of the early season largesse when Chelsea hammer most teams. As soon as the year turns and games are tighter when there is onus on the CAM to produce something for the team, Oscar disappears. Every season, 3 years in a row.

In terms of attacking contribution, he is a passenger who relies on the team to play well to buffer his stats. His general passing game was as shýte in August as it is now, the only difference being that in August his goal and assists stats was benefitted by the team scoring lots of goals, and now the team is not dashing out awoof goals, you notice his awful passing a lot more.

Mateo Kovacic could be available this summer. Now that's a player I will crawl to Italy to go sign.

Bamford has got something about him. Can he do a Harry Kane? Harry Kane was only slightly impressive at Milwall last year but he had something about his touch and composure. I see some similarities in Bamford.
