Leave Nateevs o!

After all his arguments came unstuck, best he can say is "all of you supported Roman's revolving door policy "

That's a drowning ninja clutching at straws.

Wise heads called for Scolari and AVB sacking, Nateevs defended their stupidity to the hilt. Their replacements immediately proved they were stupid.

Wise heads rejected Di Matteos sacking. Nateevs was loving it and telling us why he deserved it, and how his replacement has the tactical experience. His replacement is now the worst performing manager in RAs reign.

Once again, Nateevs propensity for being on the wrong side of common sense has caught him out and he is coming here to lay blames and deflect attention from his brainfarts by finger!ng us as being "supporters of a revolving door policy"

I hope the revolving door in the strikers position is not affecting his sensibilities. Horrendous strikers are finally being revolved to the bench by fanpower. Maybe this is why Nateevs is disillusioned. Few weeks ago, he was jizzing himself over "vertical passes", the wonderful switchback tactics favoured by his favourite technical director and implemented by his lauded coach for his favourite striker. All three are failures who need to be revolved out of the club ASAP.

My vote goes to killaverse. He is a beast on the text with original wordplay littered throughout his verse, although too much play on the word WHYTE. He won almost every category.

Khim came much killer in her battle with Mikuz. This verse was not up to that previous level.

Ma favourite track. . . . I spat this track on a phucked up Mic. . . .but niggas still know who the Monoflow King!


http://picosong.com/3apS


See lyrics below:


Ibime: Make una leave matter.
Whilst Monoflow minions argue about who monoflow the worst, Monoflow King would have posted some monoflow audio to end all monoflow debate but Plunder.com swallowed up all ma monoflow audio files and I have no back-up, so make do with the text version of ma monoflow exhibition on Exhibit D:




The road is narrow/ but my foes are cold and shallow/ so Im loading barrels/
My bow and arrow. . . broke ya bone and exposed the marrow/
Im Moses, Pharoah/ A chosen Afro. . .
Known for composing holy carols/ with the soul of a sparrow/
Behold my apparel/ It’s fit for a King/
When Im singing a hymn/ The wisdom I bring. . .
. . rock ya boat. . . like full masts. . . with a shift in the wind!!/
If my verse dont glisten and bling, nigga listen again!/
. . . pay heed to the scripture within/. . . let in sink in ya skin!/
I don’t care if you live in the gym/ with muscles ripped to the lim/
Ill give you a blistering fist to the chin/ thatll condition ya peripheral vision to spin/
I’ll flip in a min/ and draw ya blood with the prick of a pin/
. . . then deliver ya limb. . . in a ribbon. . . as a gift to ya kin!/
The position I’m in/ is to manoeuvre my troops/ in pursuit of the loot/
Y’all calculate ya money. . . but I supercompute!/
I spit truth in the booth/ though Im rude and uncouth/
Faggits scooping his poop/ cos this dude is a fruit. . . and a loser to boot!/


I blame his gay parents/ his fans stay jeering/
. . while Im raising the roof. . . like walls. . . thats weight bearing/
My pace searing/ cos Im moving at speeds that you couldn’t place gear in/
. . .not unless you wanna break ya steering!!!/
You think your mate is caring/ and you make the greatest pairing/
You space staring. . . at work , wondering how her day is faring/
Quite romantic!/ but you’d be hype and frantic/ with ya face flaring/
If you could see me at your place, tearing . . .the lace she’s wearing!!!/
I fight with the spirit of a great Barbarian/
Racist Aryans/ flee when I make an appearance/
Im space peering/ communicating with Aliens
And they tell me the date of invasions nearing/
They need me make a clearing/ but first I need to take the bearing/
That’s the danger that I place this sphere in/
Cos Im homicidal for real. . . and Im way past the stage of caring/


Im hearing many snakes in the grass/
Im making bitches Crackle. . . so Im labelled as Brash/
Still, I pose the questions you’re unable to ask/
I can play with the stats. . . . so lets table the facts. . .
You say that Im wack/ but no debate I can rap/
cos. . . Im off the hook. . . and you were raised on the rack!/
The AK's that I pack/ were made in Iraq/
and I use acidic flows. . . as my base for attack/


I make nations collapse/ when Im going to war/
A blow to ya jaw. . . would put ya phocking dome on the floor/
I put my verses on display. . . so you know that Im raw/
but eyes haven't seen . . . .what Im holding in store!!/
I could open the door/ but Im too greedy to share/
Im bout to blow this place. . . .like a helium flare/
Im known for blowing weed in the air/
so there's no reason to stare. . . if I ever fall asleep in my chair/
In a season of cheer/ I find no reason to share/
I tax niggas. . .and not even Caeser compare/
I defeat ya career/ so it's me that you fear/
I give birth to ya depression. . . when I breed ya despair!/
I instruct you how to rap. . . and my teaching is clear/
cos niggas need an e-manual. . . and Jesus is here!!!!/


Phock a back and forth/ I grab a sword/ and slash ya chord/
I flow remote control. . . standby. . . as I channel thoughts/
My hand was forced/ cos niggas refused to pass the torch/
Y’all faggits softer than Asher Roth getting his salad tossed/
Im a man of war/ you’ll get blown in seconds/
Rappers make bold confessions. . . till Im loading weapons/
I dont entertain gimmicks/ or rappers with lame lyrics/
And my verses are fly. . . cos I spit in plane English!/


Im sick with the nouns/ to the tip of my brow/
Married to rap. . . so every verse I spit is a vow/
Got intelligence that Martians mirror/
Pierce ya heart and liver/ with a dart and quiver/ Pardon mister/
Nigga/ Nigga/ my dogs in the pits/
I stand between the sun and earth . . . and cause an eclipse!/
In a coliseum/ I fought for freedom/
against an all seeing/ horde of demons/ and horned legions/ and defeated em/



Yeah its quite frightening/
I drink white lightning/ to make my night brighten/
We used to fight fair, but now he’s Mike Tyson/
and I like fighting. . . . but now. . . . I might knife him!/
I fight Vikings/ Pirates and Buccaneers/
I don’t phocking care/ as long as Im tucking flares. . .
. .in my back pocket/ A mack rocket/ make his @ss hop it. .
back to his pad. . to shut his door. . . and padlock it!/


Man stop it! You killing em right now/
I think its fair to say they feeling it right now/
I illuminate minds with the lyrics that eye drop/
Cos when the light stops/ the blind get led by a Cyclops/
My raps ignite/ when I fracture mics/
bring wax to life/ even under candlelight/
If You aint feeling the fact, I got the bragging rights/
Then go phock yourself like a hermaphrodite/


My mic devour/ At the righteous hour/ when I fight the power/
Dropping bombs. . . . like Dwight Eisenhower!/
They better hide and cower/ when Im gripe and sour/
‘fore I strangle em. . . and dangle em. . . from the Eiffel Tower!/
Im the hardest trooper/ sparking Buddha/ and massaging hooters/
Sharper than the shooter. . . that martyred Martin Luther/
I process Mathematical steps like Cauchy-Euler/
And I always bring The Final Solution. . . like Nazi Fuhrers!/
They say Im Moctezuma/ The Greatest ruler/
I tutor/ women on the Karma Sutra. . .like Jacob Zuma!/
Orally. . . you claim seniority. . . but rap horribly/
So morally. . . . my superiority. . . gives me authority!/
I rap zanier/ and attract mass mania/
From fans that pack stadia. . .from Arabia to Tazmania!/

The booing operation still in full effect for the shekpe keeper.

Meanwhile the ones who told us Rafa would expose RDM are asking about Ba who is doing his job unlike shekpe.

Rafa would improve Chelsea and get Torres firing. None of these has happened. Whilst RDM struggled against big dogs, the likes of Corinthians and Swansea are dining on Chelsea table.

We started the season within touching distance of 7 trophies. Now that both RDM and Emenalo's chosen switchback specialist Rafa couldn't put hands on those, when do we start turning attention to the incompetent technical director?

So now it's either Rafa will become the main man or the special one comes in. Either ways I'm sure RA and his gang won't find it easy any longer.

I wanted pep at Chelsea regardless of the fact he is untested outside Barcelona. I need a manager with the kudos to call the shots, buy and sell players etc rather than leave it in the hands of Roman and the executive clowns

Loving it. . . . Everyone to a man on all the blogs are counting the cost of Torres and blaming him (and rightly so) for everything we have lost this season from the EPL to UCL to CWC to Capital One Cup. To blaming him for wasted talents being kept on the bench, money being wasted, his teammates being demotivated by his corrupt inclusion, favoured managers being sacked and hated Benitez being imposed.

Like I told these shekpe lovers, Torres day of reckoning is coming. . . it has now arrived. Everyone can see that Torres is the CANCER eating Chelsea from the inside, as I rightly described him all this while.

[size=14pt]Ba and Michu put Torres to shame as Benitez feels the heat again[/size]


A shock home defeat saw months of pent up anger, frustration and disillusionment among Blues fans finally spill over into something resembling the beginnings of open mutiny

The only thing more intriguing than Torres' remarkable decline over the past three years - and in truth it has become something of a tired topic - is how he has mastered the trick of avoiding getting chances. He didn't score, didn't really do anything and, worse still, he never looked likely to.

The mood was tense from the moment the teams were announced. Bruce Buck, club chairman and the public voice of Roman Abramovich, was booed when he ventured onto the pitch.

Demba Ba, dropped in favour of Fernando Torres despite scoring two debut goals against Southampton on Saturday, was given a pointedly rapturous reception from all four corners of Stamford Bridge, while the loudest pre-match cheer of all was reserved for Frank Lampard, also benched.

Even as the Blues made a confident start to the match, with reunited trio Juan Mata, Eden Hazard and Oscar buzzing dangerously around the final third, every move was set to the tune of ‘Super Frankie Lampard’ or ‘Sign him up’. As the success of Swansea’s defensive gameplan became more evident, the exasperated crowd focused ever more intently on their absent stars.

In midfield, every error made by the unusually poor Ramires was interpreted as another reason to bay for Lampard’s introduction. With 71 minutes gone and the home side already trailing, Rafa Benitez finally granted the Blue masses their wish.

But he gave Torres another 10 minutes to become the full focus of their ire, before finally removing him to a very audible – if not quite all-encompassing – chorus of boos.

The only surprise about the Spaniard’s fall from favour is that it has taken this long to complete - this was his 100th appearance for the club, albeit no cause for celebration.

With Torres, Chelsea fans have shown exceptional patience and understanding, mainly borne out of a desperate desire to see the man become something more than the most expensive flop in the history of English football.

For a while, they believed the excuses – that Didier Drogba was too intimidating, that their team played too slowly, or that it was simply a crisis of confidence. But this season Torres has run out of credit, and sympathy has turned to anger with the realisation that the brutal sacking of Roberto Di Matteo and the loathsome imposition of Benitez will yield no more than the same old listless performances.

Torres has been dismissed in many quarters as having declined into mediocrity in every department, but this is not the case. For there is no striker in England, and quite possibly in Europe, who is so adept at disappearing completely from a match.

In 81 minutes he touched the ball just 19 times, and mustered only one shot – a half-hearted curler on the half-turn from outside the area which drew appreciation from only the most one-eyed Chelsea fans. His team were effectively playing with 10 men.

This unique ability to be so consistently inconsequential is almost impressive in a side bursting with pace and creativity. But hiding is not a quality which is valued at any level of football, let alone at a club which won the Champions League only seven months ago.

Michu was almost as anonymous for Swansea. But he worked selflessly for his team, hassled the Chelsea defence and, when his chance came, he took it with the dead-eyed cool of a seasoned gunslinger. He scores when he wants. Torres rarely shows any such desire.

As long as the hapless Spaniard was the only striker at Stamford Bridge, supporters had no choice but to back him. But now the club have actually signed someone who scores goals, they see no reason to persist with this folly. Only when Ba came on did Chelsea look like they had teeth.

Benitez refused to criticise his ‘star striker’ after the game. In fact, he was careful not to mention his name once, or that of Ba. “I’m happy with the way the team was working,” he told reporters. “I don’t think we can talk about one player.”

His optimism will provoke further anger among Chelsea fans, but not surprise. Benitez knows he cannot speak ill of Torres without torpedoing the sole reason he was brought to Stamford Bridge. As long as Abramovich regards his ‘gift’ as someone worth persisting with, Ba will not start key games, despite what fans, journalists or even statistics say.

The boos at the final whistle were about more than one result. Whether it be the enforced departure of Drogba, the hiring of Benitez, the shabby treatment of Lampard or the corrupt pre-eminence of Torres, Chelsea supporters see all around them evidence of a club which not only ignores them, but is discarding everything they hold dear.

Benitez and Torres are the current focus of their fury, and it is hard to see how either man can survive at Stamford Bridge for much longer.
But if Abramovich and his advisors do not take care, Wednesday night showed they too may soon feel the full force of discontent.

Universal appreciation for Lampard long overdue


There has always been something about Frank Lampard. Few footballers can divide opinion like him. For all his medals, goals and achievements, he has still spent a career being compared unfavourably to others.

Few could have predicted when Frank Lampard arrived at Chelsea that he would establish himself as one of their greatest ever players

The 1996 video that ESPNFC podcast presenter Dan Mason released to the world last week revealed that for one night only, he was considered not as good as Scott Canham, the learned opinion of one well-lubricated West Ham punter. Back then, it was Rio Ferdinand who was the "new Bobby Moore". Lampard meanwhile had 'Junior' added to his name.

His place in West Ham's team was seen as nepotism on the part of his uncle, Harry Redknapp, whose assistant happened to be brother-in-law Frank Lampard Sr, an Upton Park legend with 660 appearances for the club. The floppy-fringed attacking midfielder could do little right in the eyes of some Hammers fans, even when showing off an ability to score goals from midfield, and running his chubby legs off for the cause.

"Right to the very top," is what Uncle Harry predicted while a clearly embarrassed Lampard Jr looked on and an unconvinced audience murmured. After all, Joe Cole, three years younger, was always going to be better than him. And cousin Jamie, of Liverpool fame, had been and done it already.

Uncle Harry was nearly bang on too. In 2005, Frank Lampard, with Dad now having to put with being called "Senior", was voted the second-best player in both the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year. Only a high-peak Ronaldinho could talk down to him.

However, back in third in the Ballon d'Or, there was someone else. Steven Gerrard embodied everything that an English midfielder should be. He made driving runs, scored vital goals, led by example, exerted boundless energy, and had the majesty of winning in Istanbul to his name. Lampard could not match that flourish. He never scored goals quite like Stevie did.

Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard provoked a decade of debate about their ability to play together for England

Someone at Chelsea seemed to agree, even if Jose Mourinho always spoke of Frank in the highest terms. They spent two summers trying to sign Gerrard. He was but a last-minute change of heart away from making the King's Road his footballing home. Had he done so, Lampard would surely have been the player forced to make adjustments to accommodate the new star.

By that time, one of English football's longest running and most ultimately futile debates had begun in earnest. Could Gerrard and Lampard play together for England? And if not, why not and then who must be dropped? The answer to that almost always leaned towards Lampard. Gerrard was the special one, the passion player who would drive England to glory.

Lampard's presence had already offended another camp. At Euro 2004, Sven Goran Eriksson had decided that to shoe-horn the Gerrard/Lampard axis he would play Paul Scholes on the left wing.

Even nine years ago, Scholes was no-one's idea of a fleet-footed runner of channels. Lampard the arriviste had supplanted the most singular English midfield talent of the last 20 years. Scholes took his leave of international football with Lampard handed blame, even though it was Eriksson's cowardice of selection that caused the problem.

What is it about Lampard that invited such suspicion? Why was he not cherished by those outside Stamford Bridge? Well, Lampard is a curiosity in English football. He is not the street footballer that Gerrard, Scholes, Cole or Wayne Rooney all represent, reason being that he has probably rarely played street football. Frank Sr sent him to an Essex public school, an educational world away from most of his footballing peers; none of his team-mates are likely to have an A* GCSE in Latin. Lampard is also blessed with a 150-plus IQ, in the top 0.1% of anyone, let alone footballers, which may rule out his being on the wavelength of Ashley Cole, though John Terry was said to be in the top three of the Chelsea players measured when they were tested in 2009.

Lampard's intelligence, both learned and innate, is reflected in his play, and therein lay more reasons for his not being taken to purists' hearts. English football trusts natural ability above all else. Self-made players who worked on their game to reach the top like Kevin Keegan were always regarded as lesser mortals to George Best, even if the latter's gifts were drained in the same manner he regularly demolished goblets of white wine.

When Chelsea won the Champions League, they did so through a grit and tactical intelligence that was embodied by none other than Lampard. As his previous triathlete energy levels were diminishing, he redrew his play. He retained an effectiveness to so far escape Gerrard, who until recently looked rather lost amid Brendan Rodgers' philosophies. When England exited Euro 2012 in their usual manner, passed to death by Andrea Pirlo, it was apparent that the new Lampard - missing through injury - might have been the player they missed most.

At 34, Lampard has become appreciated like never before. The previously and perhaps understandably chippy interviewee now speaks with candour, with the air of one who has indeed been right to the top. Certain Manchester United fans would even be happy for him to replace Scholes in their soon-to-be vacant midfield elder statesman role.

An increasing distance from Terry may have helped the public image, but Lampard has become a credit to his club, just as its top-brass become eager to disassociate from him. Such is the chaotic way of Chelsea, the club he will leave this summer at the latest. He may not have possessed the gifts of Peter Osgood or Gianfranco Zola or been able to sign off with quite the same glory as Didier Drogba could in Munich, but 12 years of perpetual achievement in the club's richest years must grant him the title of Chelsea's finest ever player.

When Lampard does take his leave of Stamford Bridge, an imminent departure that leaves most true Blues aghast, he should do so being compared unfavourably to nobody.

Rafa Benitez's side suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Swansea in the Capital One Cup and the home faithful appear to have finally lost patience with their £50 million striker

Chelsea fans’ frustrations with much-maligned striker Fernando Torres appeared to reach boiling point on Wednesday night, with supporters booing the Spaniard and calling for Demba Ba during the Capital One Cup defeat to Swansea.

The Spanish striker started the game for the Blues but it was another Spaniard who left his mark on the game as Michu scored and helped the Swans to a superb 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.

Torres, who was making his 100th appearance for the Blues, managed 81 minutes but it was another disappointing performance, with the striker rarely threatening before being hooked in the second half.

Throughout the match Torres was targeted by sections of the Chelsea support, with boos audible, while chants for Demba Ba echoed around Stamford Bridge as the new signing watched on from the bench.

Rafa Benitez eventually gave in to the incessant crowd and introduced Ba with just under 10 minutes to go, and during that short cameo he made an impact, twice going close before having a goal disallowed for being marginally offside.

Danny Graham added a second for Swansea late on, while the Chelsea fans' annoyance towards Torres soon switched to Benitez as chants for Roberto Di Matteo rang out.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So the conclusion is, after all the GIFS, wasted hours and shyte chatting from the three silly musketeers (Nateevs, Coogar and Debosky), it only took 90 minutes for the spanish homosexual to be driven out of Chelsea by a competent striker.

I always maintained that this kind of pressure shoulda been on Torres had Sturridge been given the chance to show the fans the contrast between a striker and a minus one.

ibime: Make una leave these emotional guys to dey yarn abeg.

These ninjas love making excuses for Torres to stay on pitch by dismissing Studge and Lukaku cos they are young and reh reh reh.

Fact is if real ninja like Demba Ba or Wily Bony is the one competing with Torres, none of these emotional niggas could make excuse for Torres @zz not to be araldited permanently to the bench.

That's the level of striker Torres is. He's not even an also ran much less a Chelsea calibre striker.
All it took was 90 minutes for the above to come true!!!


Yet again, Nateevs is on the wrong side of the major arguments. Whether hating on Lampard since 2007, supporting Scolari and AVB, hating on RDM or supporting Torres, Nateevs is always on the wrong side of the argument. I want cats to remember this next time they take Nateevs arguments seriously and jump on his side of any debate. The nigga has a hazardous record when it comes to any major footie debate. . . and all his tactical arguments should be taken with a pinch of salt!! grin grin grin

I dey laugh o! Ivanovic needs to show us the betting slip for the bet he placed before the match!

When Rafa Benitez is ready to be successful, he will be successful. Ya'll know what I'm talking about.


For clues, listen to the chants of "we want Demba Ba, we want Demba Ba" and the boos the Spanish homosexual received as he came off.

This is what I've been calling for. We are a big club. Boo the cancers on the pitch holding us to ransom like fans at other big clubs do.

Some shekpe lovers cannot sleep well tonight. Torres will need psychological counselling in the morning after the fans let him know he is a cancer tonight.

There's only one Di Matteo!
