What is a Y chromosome?

What is a receptor?


Oya calm down before NL prefects start taking names of noisemakers. . .

debosky:
5 years with no trophy is a HICCUP and overachievement?? My goodness - we might truly need to wait for 15 years to win at this case. 

Whats the difference between 5 years and 4 years?

Duduspace is just a time-step behind Debosky. He is where Debosky was last year. There's only a finite-difference between y'all. Dudu is explicit method whilst Debo is implicit method. The algorithm will still converge toward trophylessness in the end.

Una dey blame Ritchboy?

I blame the receptor of his Y chromosome for not using it as mouthwash.

jalether:
In other words, you think the league is in man utd's favour

Its 50-50 innit. Could go anyway. . . .

We did beat Pool at Anfield in UCL last season. . .

I would rate our chances of beating Pool next week as not more than 50%.

Cristalz:
@Ibime
LOL
''Under review'', huh?
The management of Reptilez FC will consider giving you an opportunity to see the board in private.
If you can see far and wide, something might be done.

I would like to see your transfer plans for this gameweek. . . I recommend that you concentrate on the final week where there should be a lot of awoof points from Chelsea and Man Utd players. . . . if I see any Stoke, Fulham, Citeh or Tottenham player in your team this gameweek, I may wield the big stick.

Dede1:
You are taking the cesspit called Nigeria too seriously. Who in his or her right senses will spend much brain cell thinking about wiping out Nigeria with dirty bomb? I had sent them loads of poisoned champagne and still make profit out the diabolical method.

hehehehehehehe

In 1995, Manure and Blackburn were fighting for the title going into the last game of the season. . .

Blackburn had to beat Liverpool and Manure had to beat West Ham. . .

All the conspiracy theorists were saying that Liverpool would throw the game to Blackburn. . . but they beat Blackburn. . . unfortunately Manure couldnt beat West Ham. . .

Anyone who thinks Liverpool will throw the game to Chelsea is having a bubble

debosky:
I see you conveniently removed the loss to Arsenal - was DD present for that game? I guess y'all didn't lose any games in November then? Did the collapse start off in Nov/Dec or before then?

Again, you have reflected a unique ability to exhibit tunnel vision to suit your predetermined opinion.

No . . . its called presenting the arguments. . . you made a theory that Scolari's flop coincided with DD's absence. . . which I have proved completely unfounded. . .


Even if you include the Arsenal game, the argument still stands. . . . Chelsea was in a slump, and that slump cannot be explained simply by "the absence of DD" as you would have us believe. . . this is evidenced by the fact that he played most of the games during that slump including the diabolical draw with Southend.

Shock:
and how exactly are you sure the money is not being put to good use?

I think the question should be. . . how are we sure the money is being put to good use. . . there is nothing wrong with borrowing (at the recommended 3% of GDP level). . . . . but we all know that the economic theories around borrowing assumes that the money is being put to good use.

We are yet to see what all the stimuluses that Yara'dua released last year has done for us in terms of infrastructure. . . they should release the outcome of that one first before borrowing again for more spending.

tkb417:
Malouda Milner Cesc Valencia


Rooney Drogba

I think you must have typed this in the mirror. . . what else would explain the fact that your midfield is reflected along the y-axis?

ritchboy:
Olodo like Ibime is claiming he schooled people about how Drogba is the best crosser in the league. . . Aurelio, A.Young, RVP, Nani etc play in which league?

Coming from someone who twisted himself out of all logic to convince us that Nani is no better than Femi Opabunmi earlier this season.

It is my opinion that DD has the best cross in the Prem. . . you dont have to agree with it. . . . almost every cross that DD puts in drops directly onto the head of a teammate. . . .  by sheer volume of crosses, wingers may create more assists from crosses than DD. . . but for accuracy, DD is one of the best, if not the best. . . . Wayne Rooney also has a brilliant cross on him, although he is not associated with crossing because he is a striker.

mikeansy:
This debate like I said has moved beyond economics.

You're right. . . its moved beyond economics. . . its political and personal.

BTW, the OP should feel free to avail us of the whole article.




This thread carries on the same arguments from the Gusau thread. . .


"The reforms will cause more damage if urgent steps are not taken. When banks refuse to lend, how can the economy as a whole move forward? What is the primary responsibility of banks in any country? As our banks have refused lending, the economy will soon be crippled. If it were in advanced economies, the CBN governor would have resigned if the public and even the government came out to declare a vote of no confidence in him. It is a shame that the man is still there, he should resign.”


In advanced economies, where all Western countries have seen massive decline in lending into 2010, all central bank Governors should resign by same logic.

To differentiate between central bank Governors, Sanusi detractors must first prove that the reform is solely responsible for decline in lending, not a case of too much sunshine causing malaria.

debosky:
If it was that apparent, he'd bench him for 10 games like Scolari attempted to do with the disastrous consequences of getting fired.

This is patently false. . . Scolari collapsed in December and January, by which time DD was back in the team. . .


He played. . .

45 minutes in the 1-1 draw with West Ham

45 minutes in the 0-0 draw with Everton

90 minutes in the 2-2 draw with Fulham

90 minutes in the 1-1 draw with Southend

90 minutes in the 3-0 loss to Man Utd


In all our losses and draws in December 08 and January 09, DD was present.

Scolari's collapse had nothing to do with DD's absence, cos DD was present whilst Scolari collapsed.

Scolari's collapse was tactical, and the fact that the players lost confidence in him.

Eastbay:
That's not true.
Evra might not have had the stand-out season,but over time,he trumps Cashley.Over the past four seasons,can you say Cashley is the better of the two?

I guess the title of the award "Player of the season" escaped your attention.

debosky:
I won't even bother pulling up your quotes on the 4-3-3 issue - you talked about the runs by AG and GH to bolster your point.

Dont be silly bruv. . . . this campaign of calumny has gone far enough. . . . how can I say Chelsea have never lost a game playing classic 4-3-3. . . . did we not lose games under JM?. . . . I am still waiting for you lot to pull up statistics that show me that Chelsea have lost the league playing classic 4-3-3 however.

debosky:
Without him scoring, y'all were likely to draw that game, because there is no way you would've stopped Utd from scoring.

If DD had started the game, who's to say we would have been in that leading position in the first place?

debosky:
Secondly, without DD, you wouldn't have nicked 6 points against Arsenal, neither would you have beaten Wolves on the first day of the season, amongst MANY other examples. Occasional big victories at SB when the opposition loses the plot cannot be stand as a benchmark against consistent goal scoring and game winning performances by DD. Simple.

All this is conjecture. . . . Chgelsea have played 10 games without DD this season and won every single one. . . . scoring an average of 4.3 goals per game. . . . as opposed to 2.2 goals per game when DD played. . . . you cannot argue with a perfect record. . . .

debosky:
Every player will have an inherent flaw - DD's is his touch. BUT, he more than makes up for it in other aspects of his game.

This is true. . .  but why didnt you say this when some DD apostles such as FBS nearly cussed my mama when I told him that DD has a poor first touch. . . .

I am on record on this forum as having schooled people that DD is the best crosser in the Prem. . . I am also on record as having told em that DD is good at pulling balls out of the air. . . . however, when Chelsea team is insistent on playing possession footie, I dont think DD is the best fit. . . . its like spearheading a fluent attack with a battering ram.

debosky:
Yeah right - if Chelski were 4th because of this 'free flowing' footie we'd see what they'd be saying. Without DD's goals, they'd be lower than City right now on points. Forget all this talk of 'flowing footie',

Again I repeat there is no statistical evidence to back this up. . . .can you pinpoint one single game we lost or drew without DD?

debosky:
@ Ibime

Lennon has been out for too long so he's disqualified. . . .there is no way you can have an EPL midfield without Valencia.

Secondly, there's no defensive midfielder in your team, so if anything the option would be to go 4-5-1 and drop DD.

Lennon has copped 12 assists. . . . I doubt Valencia would have copped much more despite playing the full season.


You dont need a defensive midfielder in what is a nominal representation of the best 11 players in EPL. . . . besides, how do you know that Fabregas is not my DM?. . . . according to Xavi, Fab4 would make a great defensive midfielder. . .  


[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=374223.msg5953676#msg5953676 date=1272289039]Milner played more games than Fabregas so i understand why he was chosen.[/quote]In my book, Fabregas would be player of the year over Rooney, much less competing with Milner for Young Player of the year.


[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=374223.msg5953676#msg5953676 date=1272289039]Lampard had a disappointing first half of the season.
The diamond formation didn't suit him at all and he was a passenger in most games. He contributed nowt until his gaffer changed his tactics.
Fletcher had a better season than Lampard - It's not about goals.[/quote]Its all subjective. . . . when Lamps went 8 games without a goal, the press overstated the case. . . what they also failed to mention is that Lamps was assisting in all those games, and had already copped 10 assists by Christmas. . .

debosky:
Ibime once said Chelski NEVER lost playing 4-3-3

can you pull up such quote?

I said Chelsea never lost the league playing 4-3-3. . . . and its up to you to disprove that.

jalether:
DD has the touch of a semi-professional

This is the crux of the issue. . . .

debosky:
Scored 9 yesterday but lost against Utd and Arsenal without DD. . . .

Can you prove that. . . . was DD on the pitch when we had 70-30 possession against Manure at Old Trafford. . . when we were playing them off the park?

Malouda has copped 12 goals this season (without penalties). . . . Fabregas should be the same or thereabouts. . .


The same people who voted this nonsense are the ones who tell me that Milner is more deserving of Young Player of the Year than Fabregas. . . .


Lamps also copped 26 goals and 15 assists and cant make the team of the year?. . . crikey!



This should be my team of the year:



                               Friedel/Hart/Schwarzer


Ivanovic                Dunne               Vermaelen            Evra/Ashley


Lennon                Lampard            Fabregas                Malouda

                 
                            Drogba              Rooney

FBS:
DD cannot link up play. . . yet he was the same person calling the shots yesterday and scored vital goals this season.
DD cannot link up play, yet it was from his cross that Nic got his only goal in some. . .how many matches sef?
Heck DD is no useless a player he is the second highest goal scorer in league.
DD plays with energy, strength and passion. Defending, scoring and what not. Strange how some so called footie experts don't see that.
Oh well, I forgot, he is 32 and probably too old.

That you don't like a player does not mean you should not appreciate him. He is the reason we are riding HIGH!

Despite all this, some people dont like DD?

Wow. . . . it occured to me like an epiphany. . . . DD must be sleeping with all of our collective baby mommas. . . . how can a player so brilliant attract such hate?

I dont see such things said of Lionel Messi for example.

I remember the game where I counted the amount of times DD made a successful pass. . . . in one half of football, DD made only [b]one [/b]successful pass. . . I pointed it out, yet you weren't so quick to defend DD then. . .


OK, just because he was able to hang with the passing game yesterday, suddenly means he is an officionado of possession footie. . . . well lets see it more often. . . .

debosky:
Just how many big wins have you seen this season without Drogba to establish such a trend? You can chop and change things to match up with a pre-conceived notion.

We've only had one "small" win without DD (against Burnley). . . . out of a total of 10 games. . . should be enough to establish a trend. . .

mufasa:
And about the DD argument regarding him holding our gameplay, The others played today as if DD wasnt there, thats why we were able to score loads. We were not playing route one and he wasnt too concerned with scoring either, that way it brought out the best in the other attack minded players. Hell even Ashley had a great game.

You hit the nail on the head. . .

Lampard has now scored 26 goals this season. . . . strikers should bury their head in shame!

Dear Cristalz. . .

You know we go way back. . . . I dont know how to put this. . . .

Please I need you to STAND DOWN next Gameweek. . . I am locked in a title fight with Kokomaster with only 3 points seperating us. . . . I cant afford to return to the creeks trophyless lest they turn me to mincemeat. . . to incentivise you, I am putting your place in the Nairaland main league under review pending the nature of your transfers this week. . . . thank you in advance like Boyz II Men!

What will you lot say if you win several games by 7 goals only to lose the league. . . . it would be criminal.

chic2pimp:
I see Benitez playing the Reserve team.

Liverpool will not risk the political fallout.

There is NO WAY Liverpool will not go all out to down Chelsea. Professional pride is very strong in England. . . . Arsenal could have thrown away the game to Man City to stop Spurs from finishing 4th, but they didnt, did they?

Ibime:
Nah he's good at pulling balls out of the air. . . its when you pass it to him on the floor that you start seeing all sorts of miscontrol. . .  .its a physiological problem.

Case in point. . . .

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=436222.msg5948854#msg5948854 date=1272209260]Even that was a FLUKE. . . . . .If he tries it 40 times, he would flunk it 40 times.[/quote]Nah he's good at pulling balls out of the air. . . its when you pass it to him on the floor that you start seeing all sorts of miscontrol. . .  .its a physiological problem.

nateevs:
It will so bad if can't manage things like one in a while at least.

One swallow doesnt make a summer.

Goooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllll!!!


Please I dont want FBS coming here to pinpoint that exquisite touch from DD. We don hear!!!

The presence of Kalou on the teamsheet indicates we are gonna play imprecise football today. Its bad enough with Drogba misplacing passes. . . . add Deco's absence and Kalou's poor decision making to the mix, and this is not the type of footie that makes me comfortable against a team like Stoke. . . .

In Nigeria, whoever controls the press controls public opinion and the national debate. . .


When this Fashola brouhaha came out, e been be like joke. . . . now slowly, Fashola's detractors are cornering public opinion.


If Fashola's supporters dont speak up for him, na so these enemies of progress go dey spoil him name small small until they finally finish him with a big EFCC suit.

Sagamite:
^^^^ I was there at the game in Southampton.

Even when we left the stadium, a Japanese mum and her kids were walking and singing[i] "aay, aay, whoo, whoo"[/i].

That was the first ever "home match" played by the Super Eagles in UK. It was a novelty at that time.

Im sure you remember that Oliseh was far and above the best midfielder in that game.

John Terry's ability to organise the defence to deal with Delaps throws may be crucial. Unfortunately he's suspended. Alex and Ivanovic are just too quiet for matches like this one.

9 points out of 9 is the bare minimum we expect starting with Stoke. Abeg make una warn Ancelotti for me oh! I am already half-resigned to losing the league against the weakest competition we have ever faced for the title.
