Anyone living in Nigeria smokes the equivalent of 20 cigarrettes-a-day courtesy of exhaust fumes from cars and lorries; so whats the point of banning smoking in Nigeria?

In better countries, there are little or no fumes given off by car exhausts due to the type of cars and the fact almost all of em use unleaded petrol. These are the countries who have earned a right to ban smoking, not Naija.

Cristalz:
Ibime, why are you thinking about Vidic instead of concentrating on work?

Dont worry about that.  

tkb417:
this Ibime boi has started again

abeg, whats the formation for tmr
dont have time for suegbe talk

I know the honourable tkb is a man who relishes the manly sports. A skilled pugilist such as himself cannot fail to applaud the skill and speed with which Vidic's move was executed. My ire is drawn from the fact that the MOTD presenters spent the whole programme discussing Rodallegas reaction without any reference to the condemnable actions of Vidic. Its like the establishment simply chose to ignore what I consider to be one of the most vile actions Ive ever seen on a football pitch.


As for the other idiots dragging non-issues, its best to ignore those infantile delusionists.

Cristalz:
@Ibime
Come on, you make it sound like a repeat of the Zidane head-butt. Vida's wasn't that bad. Defensive slip-up. Eduardo's was just plain bad. And he had this cynical smile when the ref called it a pen 'cos he knew exactly what he was doing.

As for your ''untouchables'' list, hope you know John Terry is among the top 3.

Thankfully, John Terry is a clean player who rarely resorts to violence unlike Vidic.

With all deference to Cristalz, any idiot who believes that Vidic's assault on Rodallega was an honest mistake should avail themselves of youtube. Unfortunately, I am at work and have no access to youtube otherwise I would post the action again. I would also post videos of boxers who use the very same technique: a quick short hook to the face. That particular punch (the quick short hook) was brought to prominence by Mohammed Ali in his 2nd fight with Sonny Liston, which became known as the phantom punch. You can clearly see a deliberate movement of Vidics hand away from his body. Anybody with an iota of boxing knowledge recognises the deliberateness of that punch. It is disgusting.

Two idiots mentioned Ballacks move on Evra. That is a well known 'blocking off' cheat move. It is cheating, but something you would see happen in almost every match when a defending player is caught out by a quick one-two. Vidics move was simply violence and has no place in football.

When will Ballack be charged for punching Evra's neck?[/quote]Stop being an idiot.

Cristalz:
Eduardo's was deliberate. Like 1st degree murder.
Vida's was unavoidable. . .happened in his attempt to carry out his defensive duties. Like manslaughter. In football, sometimes you get lucky when it's manslaughter.

Putting it mildly, I was livid at Vidics behaviour. The hand deliberately came out to punch Rodallega in the face. It was cynical and despicable: the actions of a man who knows his status allows him to get away with murder in the EPL. Every season, 10 Vidic penalties go unpunished. He seems to be one of the "untouchables" along with Steven Gerrard and such.

@ All Mancs,

Eduardo has been charged with diving.

When will Vidic be charged with punching Rodallega?

Is this not another case of the FA pandering to Man Utd?

Bakana has a great future.The entire Bakana land from the Isaka boundary through the Cawthorne to Eagle island in PH seem like the BAHAMAS.

hmmmm. . . . I never knew that Eagle Island belongs to the people of Bakana.

Interesting reading you guys tales on here. It is funny that Kalabari likewise Okrika is full of eminent sons, and yet it is claimed that the people of Niger-Delta are backward.

[quote author=Tayo-D link=topic=314960.msg4435746#msg4435746 date=1251403396]I really have no problem with Ibime. I usually ignore him when he comes here with his childish outbursts. I just decided today to reciprocate in kind, but all in good fate.

Unlike one or two other people I can identify on nairaland, I don't think he is really mean-spirited. He is just trying to have some fun - albeit childishly. He wanted some attention and he's got it. Like every child, he will soon go away to play with his toys and forget any animosity he seems to have now. He is a spoilt childish liberal with a warped view of life, just like every liberal out there.[/quote]It is a shame that Tayo-D has chosen to indulge in an exercise of self-aggrandisement. For anyone to suggest that the ubiquitous Ibime seeks attention from a RoosterDrinker like Tayo-D suggests that the person has forgotten his position in the intellectual-strata. Einstein cannot seek attention from Emeagwali, neither can Shakespeare seek attention from Cyprain Ekwensi. Of course I like toying with the village idiot, but he should never forget that he is nothing but an ephemeral curiosity.

As for this:   I'm not sure whether to laugh or take offense.

HNIC:
naah. . . . to them it was getting 'Stuck in' early in the game.

Martin Taylor cannot be blamed for the favela dwellers' mothers' failure to feed him with calcified milk in his development stages.

The tackle which broke his leg had no velocity or malice in it. It was a tackle that physicists refer to as "finding the sweet spot". The variables of physical law and mathematical probability combined so superbly on that fateful day to ensure that the shear stress applied to Eduardos leg snapped that motherphocker to pieces. One would have to take a PHD in statical moments to understand how such a benign tackle could break the resistance of Eduardos tibia.

For this achievement, Martin Taylor has been shortlisted for the Nobel prize for his contribution to physics research. His main rival for the prize is John Arne Riise who proved that with the right force, exerted at the right moment, you can break an opponents leg simply by shooting the ball at him; as he did to Alan Smith.

Krayola2:
Chelsea has gone far in the competition most consistently in recent years. Man utd is only on par because of the last 2 years. . .previously they have been consistently shambolic in europe. Na Cristiano Ronaldo cause dem to get small mouth but he is now gone.

GBAM!!! 

Based on 5 year performance, Sevilla is closer to Man Utd than Man Utd is to Chelsea!  

tkb417:
ode
we have won it twice b4 Ronaldo.   .   .
1 trophy is greater than 99 semi finals

Seeding is graded on a 5 year-rolling system.

You can talk about 1999 or 1950 something, we dont give two hoots.

Imagine a European nobody like Man Utd asking why they are below Liverpool and Chelsea (based on 5-year performance)

Thats like Steaeu Bucharest asking why Chelsea is seeded above them because they won it in 1980something.

Before Ronaldo hyped you up, Utd should never be considered a top seed. They were everyones whipping boys in Europe.

Mothaphocks!

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=294608.msg4432039#msg4432039 date=1251374136]How the hell are we tied on points with Chelsea and Liverpool?[/quote]Mothaphocks, you're not tied, you're below.

Man Utd were nobodies in Europe before Ronaldo became turbo-boosted.

All this while we've been making every semi-final, you have specialised in getting knocked out in the first round.

Before last year, we didnt consider Man Utd as European contenders. Every year, its been Liverpool, Chelsea and Barca running shit.

You're lucky John Terry slipped otherwise you wont even be seeded for the draw.

Bloody cocksuckers!

This guy would be a good addition to Chelsea. . . . hes perfect for the right-side of any diamond. . .

[size=14pt]Chelsea back in hunt for Dutch forward de Guzman[/size]

Chelsea sporting director Frank Arnesen is trying to push through a £4m deal for Feyenoord starlet Jonathan de Guzman.

Arnesen watched 21-year-old forward de Guzman score twice in Feyenoord’s 4-0 home win over Roda JC.

That has prompted Arnesen to recommend Chelsea try to complete a cut-price deal on the Dutch under-21 international.

De Guzman, first watched by Chelsea two years ago, only has one year left on his contract and Arnesen believes they can get him on the cheap.

Chelsea signed Salomon Kalou from the same route three years ago and De Guzman can also play wide or through the middle and would provide extra strength to Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.

Ancelotti has insisted there will be no more buys this summer but de Guzman could provide valuable back-up and is also seen as one for the future.

Whats new pussycat?

eldee:
Why can't we ever have teams like this??

All the defenders on that team are left-backs!

Only an irreconcilable revisionist like Krayola would claim Ronaldo wasnt a team player.

This guy would have you believe that Ronaldo made no assists.

Ronnie was top assist maker in 1998 WC.

This guy is trying to tell me that Real went down cos Ronnie joined.

Moderator, pls ban this guy for 24 days.

Real went down cos they had too much attackers, and no defenders.

Why did Brazil not go down when Ronnie came into the team?

Rivaldo knows how much space and chances Ronnie created for him to cop 5 goals in 2002 WC.

Infact, Rivaldo is better than Henry, talkless of Ronaldo.

Only a Johnny Just come like Krayola would support Henry over Ronaldo.

This is typical of recent fans.

If you go ask any REAL Barca fan from the 1990's if Henry is better than Ronaldo, you will recieve a slap.

Even Henry himself would slap you for comparing him to Ronaldo.

Only an irredeemable buffoon like Krayola would pillory Ronaldo for not winning more titles.

The fact that he played in rubbish teams only makes his achievements more legendary.

Ronaldos worst World Cup (2006) is better than Henrys best World Cup.

I am an Inter fan of 1997 vintage. I joined Inter when Ronaldo and Taribo joined. Our team was so rubbish back then, especially the defence. We boasted of luminaries such as Fabio Galante. Our midfield was full of the Benoit Cauets of this world. The only decent players we had were Ronaldo, Pagliuca, an aging Zamorano and a fading Djorkaeff. Infact, let it be known that Taribo West was the third best player in the team after Ronaldo and Pagliuca. Thats how rubbish the team was in 1997. Ronaldo carried that team single-handedly.

From 1998 to 2002, Ronaldo was not involved in the squad and couldnt win anything cos of injury.

At Real. . . . well we all know about Real and their mago-mago.

Still Ronnie has copped 30 goals, 3 times in Spain despite being overweight.

Imagine Henry weighed 100 kg. What will he do? He would have to phocking retire!

The day Henry cops 30 goals in Spain, I will doff my hat to him.

Krayola2:
add assists and Ronaldo falls off the radar. . .

This gaffe-prone Catalan made the assertion that if we take away Ronaldos PSV goals, Henrys goal record is better. That was quickly debunked by stats. Now his last bastion of hope is a vague allusion to "assists".

One would expect even an irredeemable failure to post statistics before opening his mouth to sing songs.

Corner takers always post high assists.

Henrys assist stats are on Wikipedia if you wanna check. FYI, only twice did he produce more than 10 assists in the league. Those 24 assists were an anomaly, not a routine.

Half of his assists are from corners. Thats why people like Lampard post 20 assists a season. At least 10 are from corners. Even Nani posted 11 assists in his first season. At least 5 of those would be from corners. Thats why we pick corner takers in our fantasy team.

From open play, Henry may outassist Ronaldo by a handful of goals per season. You can add those to his goals record and he would still average lower than Ronaldo.

Krayola2:
@Ibime

goals in dutch league are worth less than the bigger european leagues. what about assist numbers? like i said, u're ignoring major stats in Henry's favor

Henry was injured his entire 1st season at Barcelona and was our highest goal scorer playing as a winger.

and this is not about International careers

Henrys goal average at Arsenal + Barca = 0.65 goals per game

Ronaldos average at Barca, Real and Inter = 0.74 goals per game.

PSV or no PSV, Ronaldo is King.

Krayola2:
see these mad Nigerians. Na only personal attacks they fit use debate. i have shown u irrefutable eveidence that Henry's club career is better than Ronaldo's. Una juss dey argue with sentimentl bullshit. How many assists did Ronaldo have in his career.

Even after all these, you proceeded to colour your commentary with insults.

Imagine someone studying religious studies asking if Im an illiterate.  


Ronaldo:

1994–1996 PSV 45 (42)
1996–1997 Barcelona 37 (34)
1997–2002 Internazionale 69 (56)
2002–2007 Real Madrid 127 (83)
2007–2008 Milan 20 (9)



Total = 224 goals in 298 games.

An average of 0.75 goals per game


Henry:

1994–1999 Monaco 105 (20)  
1999 Juventus 18 (3)  
1999–2007 Arsenal 254 (174)  
2007– Barcelona 59 (31)

Total = 228 goals in 436 games

An average of 0.52 goals per game

Even if we remove Monaco and Juventus where he often played as a winger, Henry's average at Arsenal and Barca is only 0.65 goals per game.

If we remove PSV, Ronaldos average at Barca, Inter and Madrid is still 0.74 goals per game.

Khaki no be leather.


Lets not even forget that Ronaldo scored all these goals despite sever injuries and weight problems.

The day Henry can score 30 goals in Spain, I will doff hat to him.

120 kg Ronaldo thrice scored 30 goals in Spain.

As for International record, lets not even go there.

Mukis front line is despicable.

Tubabie and Cristalz will soon overtake her.

DayoKanu has pleaded with me that we should let Muki join us in our hostile takeover of the league, but I cannot be carrying any deadweight.

I assure all Nairalanders that MEND Militants FC will be top of the league by week 10 latest.

Sooting Stars will be in 2nd place to shoot down anyone who tries to assail our position.

Who is this olodo rabata comparing Henry and Ronaldo.

Is it Crayon?

This guy must be young.

Only someone with the arrogance of youth can make such silly statements.

The day Henry would turn up to World Cup weighing 100kg after 3 years of injury and score 8 goals, thats the day we will consider Henry to be among the pantheon of greats.

So far, Henry only specialises in scoring his World Cup goals against the likes of South Africa and Saudi Arabia.

Olodo rabata!

If not for injury, we talk about Ronaldo as being equal with Pele and Maradona.

Anyone who was watching Italian and Spanish league in the 1990s knows that no player in the modern era compares to Ronaldo, not even Zidane.

Perhaps these young ones only know the Ronaldo of Real Madrid.

Henry is not even fit to lace the boots of his modern contemporaries such as CR7, Messi, even Eto talkless of El Phenomeno

Fat Ronaldo is still averaging a goal a game in the Brazilian Campeonato despite weighing 120kg.

Forget it. Comparing Henry to Ronaldo is like comparing Obasanjo to Julius Ceaser.
