Crizzle, I feel you. . . . . AW has passed his peak. Marseille President used to call him 'the eternal bridesmaid' cos he always came second in Ligue1, never first. . . . . . . now that the strongmen of Arsenal such as Vieira are no longer at Arsenal, he has resorted to this nonsense tippy-tappy football. . . .

Fabregas is a don and will always remain one. Any coach can see that Fab is lacking a bit of physicality. But one thing I trust Fab4 for is his runs off the ball and his passing game. Therefore he needs to be at the point of a three-man central midfield. Theres no difference between him Lamps and Gerrard if played in the right position. 11 goals in 13 games in that position last season should attest to that. There's no point playing weaklings like Nasri in central midfield and shifting the burden to Fabregas to cover him. CR7 is also still at the top of his game. The only man who can play left-wing, right-wing or striker and make it look natural. He is a physical phenomenom. Height, strength, pace, skill. . . . and the most accurate shot in World football. . . . Messi may be more skillful and probably better. . . . . but Ronaldo is the most complete footballer alround.

^^^^Ask Debosky. Djorou is a joke. In Arsenal, they have wastepipes masquerading as defenders. Even their best CB Kolo Toure is rubbish to me.

I watched the Adebayor interview. . . . he said nothing wrong in the interview. . . . British press just spun the story to make him look bad. . . . . in the same interview he reiterated his commitment to Arsenal.

As for Fab4, the boy is a genius, but the supporting cast is no good. AW made 2 fatal mistakes playing Nasri in central midfield over the two legs. A guy like Fab4 shouldn't be doing anybody's donkey work, but should have two solid killers behind him. Nasri is too weak to play central midfield. Thats why Arsenals midfield was decimated. Same goes for Van Persie. Both are weaklings.

Arsenal also need to sell all their defenders and goalies except Sagna, Clichy and Eboue. Thats where the real problem lies.

Cristalz, legal or illegal, police no get time to dey check.

Let the guy sell his stuff as long as he isn't demanding any advance-fee.

I certainly wouldn't buy sha, especially from someone in Naija.

Shield or the sword?

I like the analogy.

So Chelsea is the shield and Barca is the sword?

Switch, you are a very smart guy!

Switch, you sef wey no sabi write clear English wey man pikin go understand don dey write blog. lol.

Muki,

All the better, so he doesn't have to travel to catch your ass. By this time tomorrow, you will be in Mile2. Infact, I will place a call to Edward and let the soldiers come find you, not even Police. Brufut mafia, thats how we run things.  

Muki,

Which ganja boys? I dont know nothing about ganja boys abeg.   Those are good people. Muki, don't make allegations you can't back. I know the Chief of Police. I could get you locked up tonight.   In all seriousness, ganja isn't my thing.

Two mistakes from AW's 'youth policy' products - Almunia and Gibbs. Game over!

Where's your 'youth policy' now?

Still Debosky is yarning bollocks. AW aint taking you guys nowhere. Debosky needs to banished from the thread for giving y'all false hope throughout the season.  Dr Kit should takeover this shit and bring truth to the light. Call this shit animal farm.  

Infact, wheres my favourite gunner, the [b]H[/b]ead [b]N[/b]igga [b]I[/b]n [b]C[/b]harge? If you see Pataki and A-40, make una greet them for me.

Hey, theres always next season. Yas dont need to be too downhearted  

I said that Arsenal dont belong in this company. If not for lucky draws against Roma and Villareal, they would have put in their usual quarter-final performance.

Anyway, what can you say? Looks like we have to conquer the Mancs to win this thing.  

mukina2:
Ibime you know no one more than me

We're talking about people of substance, not your cousins.  

tkb417:
Ibime
who u sabi for Gambia?
Some of ma people are running the 9ja banks there so no shakes.
are u still there?

OK, Mr ITK, Im withdrawing my offer. This was a one-time offer. Im highly connected over there, for real, and Im not talking about your middle-management pals level.  

tkb417:
yep. I have a pending biz in Gambia.
im sure ill be in soon.
Mukina is clearing the way for me already

I know more people in that town than Muki.

Who you going to see? I could throw a bone for ya to smoothen things out.  

tkb417:
was in Dakar for some biz wahala and i loved it. Was supposed to flow into Banjul too but had to run back
That could have been the perfect time to see the Ibime 'the masquerade'
Did you enjoy Gambia? Dakar is cool also.
how ur wife?

I didn't reach up to Dakar. I was just a bit South of there.

Gambia was the biznizz. You gotta visit. Madam dey as she always dey.

ThiefofHearts? Please enlighten us on your Neutrogena, Dove et al. Bloody useless.


tkb419,

What it do mayne? Muki told me you were in Senegal last week or so, when I was there. I for jam you for there na but I no want deviate from my scheduled program.

Who is this Thief of Hearts sef?

Tell Negro say I greet am.

Really? So Hibbert is best friends with Stevie G? Anyway, G deserves the award for this season.

Yaya is technically way better than Essien, but the fact remains that Essien is a better player.

Yaya's tracking of runs is very poor. This may not show that much at Barca where they play a high line and dominate possession but faced with someone like Lamps or Gerrard running beyond, Yaya would not be able to track the run, unlike Essien. Check the first 5 minutes of Barca vs Chelsea last week. Lampard only got up once and Yaya simply could not track his run, leading to a shot by Lampard. Luckily for Yaya, Lamps spent the rest of the game in his own half trying to stymy Iniesta and Xavi's attacks. Yaya Toure is simply inert! He lacks the reaction time and players often run beyond him without opposition.

Are you sure this x_theorist is not Negro Nuts' reincarnate?

Look at these ashy-skinned black women spending thousands on products created for white skin when what they really need is some solid petroleum jelly or pomade.

With a man or woman?

Can I come?

I think you should take a walk

He's not gonna win the election anyway so all this is story.

Crizzle!

What does this mean?

Cristalz:
Cech has got to be extra vigilant, 'cos there will be no parking the bus in front of goal for Chelsea this time around. They will have to come out and play, and this could leave their back open for Barcelona's strikers to penetrate.  .  .this means he will find himself under a lot of pressure.

This is biased mehn. Are you speaking fa[b]h[/b]cts (ala Benitez) or are you stating what you 'hope' will happen.

It is much easier to park the bus @ SB which is a smaller pitch than the Camp Nou & the Bernabau. Barca will get no space at all. It will also be easier for Chelsea to launch counter-attacks and hurt Barcelona on such a small pitch. One lump upfront and DD is on it! We will hurt them aerially as I have said all along. Victory is sure!



@ Koboland,

Backshots in your profile pic . However, you know better than to show my goodies to the whole internet. Asha80, you be bad guy. Kobo, pls stop bringing temptation into ma domain. I would like to see you fellowship with us on the Chelsea thread more often:

Come on you gunners!

Arsenal to win 3-1 tonite.

Chelsea vs Arsenal final. Lets make it a London thing.

[center]My stars are playing for their futures, insists Chelsea boss Hiddink[/center]

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1177246/My-stars-playing-futures-insists-Chelsea-boss-Hiddink.html


Guus Hiddink last night warned Chelsea’s ageing team that they will be playing for their futures at the club in tomorrow’s Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona.

Despite 31-year-old Didier Drogba’s return to form, there are no guarantees that the striker will remain at Stamford Bridge next season and he heads a list of players with question marks over their role at the club.

Michael Ballack, 32, is to discuss taking an option on a one-year contract extension this summer, but his future as a £130,000-a-week midfielder remains in doubt following three inconsistent seasons at the club.

Florent Malouda, 28, has also found some form in midfield just as the club consider their options for next season; 25-year-old defender Branislav Ivanovic, who has emerged in recent weeks, will also meet chief executive Peter Kenyon to discuss his future, and Ricardo Carvalho’s career at the club is also in jeopardy, the central defender celebrating his 31st birthday in 13 days’ time.

Interim manager Hiddink revealed: ‘There are many clubs where players start playing well in April and May because they know that maybe they want to stay.

‘You can see that in the whole history of the game, when players start playing well at this time of the season.

‘Generally speaking, even if a player’s contract is expiring, he has a responsibility todeliver.’

Hiddink is so highly regarded by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich that the Dutchman will have a fairly significant say in the futures of a number of players at the club even though he is set to leave.

Hiddink has observed them at close quarters since his arrival in London and will make his personal recommendations at the end of the season.

He added: ‘I can have an influence on what happens to these players and I can always make suggestions to the people at the club who ultimately decide.

‘When players are committed, you don’t worry whether they are 31 or 32. In the longer-term strategy for the club, you must have plans for the future even when a player is doing well at 31.

‘You must have plans on what can be done, whether to replace a player in a year or more.

‘If people ask me I will give my opinion, whether that is the staff, the medical people, the physios, the guys who practise with the team or the conditioning coaches.’

If Guus was toying with the idea of attacking Barca, this game should dispel any such notion. This team can only be beaten on the counter-attack. Real Madrid were too open and played into their hands. We should just keep it as tight as we did at the Nou Camp and hope for the best. lol.

So switch47 has started proferring coherent opinions? Chelsea's recent success must be hurting him bad.

Arsenal still have every chance of beating Man Utd. I agree with Debosky - RVP is overrated. Good skills, but he is too lightweight. I thinks Arsene should sell him instead of offering him a new gigantuous contract. He is not on that 100k a week level. Chelsea vs Arsenal in the final hopefully.

Who said Dabiri is a Yoruba name?

Dabiri is an Ijaw name abeg.

Besides, why should we trip? Is he the only professor we have from Naija?

Hold on. . . . . Arshavin scored 4 goals last night?

What are you guys talking about? Ivanovic is marking Messi. That one na sure banker.
