I am not happy at all.

Playing Liverpool 4 times in 5 years in the champions league.

C'mon UEFA.

No doubt Torres will be injured before then. I have ultimate faith in GUUS HIDDINK! Barca awaits!

I guess we have to do it the hard way.

Into the belly of the beast we go!

This is my worst nightmare.

Man Utd and Arsenal got the best draw available and we got the worst.

Arsenal vs Villareal

Man Utd vs Porto

Liverpool vs Chelsea

Barca vs Bayern

The oracle has spoken! _{I really hate that Stevie G}

(1.) Don't ask me out shopping with you, especially window shopping. I don't fancy hanging around for 5 hours whilst you try on every dress in the store. Decide what you want to buy BEFORE you go in the store, so that we only have to spend 10 minutes there.

(2.) Don't ask me questions when I'm watching football. If you call on the phone whilst Im watching football, wrap up the conversation in less than 1 minute.

(3.) Don't stereotype me from your past experiences with other guys. I am not him.

(4.) Don't compare me to your friends' boyfriends and tell me that Eze did such and such for Ezinne, so I must do the same for you.

(5.) Keep "we need to talk" limited to once every 3 months.

(6.) Stop trying to use me to impress your friends, especially the vain and materialistic ones. I am so simple, they will be underwhelmed.

(7.) Do not lie, cheat or tell fancy stories.



These 7 attributes should hold true for most guys. If only women could adhere to these rules, relationships would be a lot happier.

Today na today. Draw is @ 10.45am, or 11.45am Naija time.

Lawd please give us Porto or Villarreal. If not, we would take Bayern or Arsenal.

Who is this Ijawman? Abeg stop using our name to yarn nonsense.

_{@ Sauron
Try this for starters.
Cast your mind back to 1984
2nd leg,3sc vs Zamalek at the National Stadium Surulere.
Zamalek took a 2-0 lead into the match from the 1st leg in Cairo.
Who were the Centre back pairing for Shooting Stars in that memorable match?
[sub] can't find it in any search engine}

In 1984, Sauron was a sperm.  

tkb417:
You have just listed maybe his shortcomings but not why hes overrated.

Every player has one or two shortcomings. Its a normal thing
Given this seasons performance alone, Gerrard will be picked 10 times b4 Lampard.

Do you watch MOTD?

Maybe if you live in England, you will know what I am talking about.

They talk about him ALL DAY!! He is a great player, but they need to shut up abeg. By the correct definition, he is overrated.

When they show the highlight reels of Liverpool matches, they will spend 10 minutes talking showing all the good shit Gerrard did - sometimes sef, I watched the match live and Gerrard didn't do anything, yet they will still exagurate everything he does. I can't blame them, most of MOTD staff are ex-Liverpool players. They do the same nonsense for Jamie Carragher. At one stage, the media had us beleiving Rio Ferdinand was rubbish and Jamie Carragher was the answer to all England's problems.

@Ibi

You are a baby Nairalander

Steven and Super Franky's issue is regular on Nairaland.

I dont want to come into the issue again.

You know what! Gerrad's most TOUTED best match was FA cup final against West ham. It was even tagged Gerrad's final but the best player in that match was Benayoun.

My brother, Gerrard vs Lampard issue is the most sensitive issue between me and my guys. It is usually the cause of all disagreement and fights. Gerrard is still living off two long-range shots against a 40-year old semi-retired goalkeeper in that West Ham match. You are correct - Benayoun was the baba in that match. This Lamps vs Gerrard issue caused me a lot of HBP in the past.

o'l boi. I'll be 28 in June. was 8 at that time o

i no be old boi like that just that i had a fast tracked edu
used to be called kekere in secondary school cos i was the youngest.

I can remember trying to act senior to a pry 3 guy and when i saw the guys fist, i ran with my legs up in the sky

I was also the youngest dude in my class. You had to be careful before speaking anyhow to junior boys cos some of them were old enough to be your senior brother. I still remember my biggest shame to date was losing a fight with one junior boy who was older than my older sister cos I has tried to discipline the fella. The thing pain me no be small. I remember 1989. I was 6 years old, in primary 2 then. If you were in primary 6, then you must have been a GENIUS!

@ DK

Gazza is hype cos the English place him on Van-Basten level. Till today, I still hear nonsense like "Gazza is the best player I have ever seen."

Just like Gerrard, there is no denying he is a great player, but the English put them on a pedestal and sing stories about them all day and all night.

Gerrard who should be classed with Lampard, Fabregas and co is now classed with Ronaldo, Messi et al. Lamps is simply the Glen Hoddle of his time. Disrespected and even hated in England by twats who believe he is holding Gerrard back from achieving his true potential for england. A potential we haven't seen in the 9 years he has played for England.

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=244427.msg3617112#msg3617112 date=1237471833]You are a biased babylonian bloodclot and oops i forgot to add pusshyhole as well since when did a midfielder's number 1 brief become goal-scoring? how many goals did Ronaldinho or Zidane average a season to become the greats they are? Your fancy stats don't count for much abeg it is the intangibles of rescuing your team from the precipice of defeat and coming good for your club in big games that matter and not some crazy stats about passes completed (including sideways and backward pases) how about their records in European competitions?

Besides why won't Lampard score more goals when he had the likes of Essien and Makelele in his roster thus freeing him of defensive responsibilities and allowing him go forward

These stats don't tell the whole story abeg[/quote]My friend sharrap dia!

Don't take this personal, you be my guy.

Rescue ko, Rescue ni!

Who rescued Liverpool in CL final 05? Was it Gerrard, Smicer, Hamman or who exactly? Don't tell me you swallowed the "Roy of the Rovers" story line hook line and sinker. Where was Gerrard in the first half when Kaka was urinating on Liverpool's midfield? It was only when Hamman came on the pitch that Gerrard grew some balls. Was Gerrard the only person that scored in that match?

You have just provided justification of your label as an axiomatically inclined idiot. Since you swallow the widely held axioms that Makelele and Essien do all of Lampard's work, pray tell, what are Mascherano and Alonso's business on the pitch? Maybe you can tell me why Lamps scored circa 15 goals even when Jovanovic was playing behind him.

Gerrard plays further forward than Lampard. He is playing just behind Torres. He certainly is not worried about defensive responsibility as much. Still Lampard is outscoring him, out-assisting him, out-whatever you wanna call it. If Lamps passes are all sideways, why is he also out-assisting Gerrard?

Gerrrard produces in big games? True! When have you heard that Lamps doesn't produce in big games? CL final last year was not a big game? The only difference between the two scenarios is Dudek saved his penalties and Cech didn't. Gerrard is just a product of the English hype. You can rank him with Bobby Moore, Gazza and the rest of them when it comes to hype.

Defensively sef, the stats would astound you. Go and tell any Chelsea fan that Lamps does not track back, I am sure you will get a curt response.

tkb417:
Ibime would you just sharrap

My friend go dive bush! 

tishat:
Hey people am thinking of getting a boob job (enlargement)can someone share his/her opinion,experience,thoughts pls.Recommendation of good places in Lagos will be appreciated.Make Una no too yab meoooo.

No problem. I shall test-drive it for you.

I think people need to check the dictionary for the meaning of the word overrated.

Ballack is not overrated, because whilst his agemates such as Vieira are past their bedtime, he is still playing at the top level. Besides, nobody rates him anymore.

Berbatov is not overrated because he is not rated. I actually think he is underrated. In a team like Man Utd where everyone is running, you actually need someone to stand still, occupy the space between the opposition's midfield and defence and make the ball stick. Thanks to Berbatov, Man Utd is no longer a one man team. His style of play opens up possibilities for all the other players in the team. If Man Utd had gone through this season with Ronaldo off-form and Tevez and Rooney leading the attack, I don't think they would have built up such a commanding lead in the league.




Most overrated players in the prem:


(1.) Steven Gerrard

Simply because they talk about him all the time, like he is on Messi, Ronaldo level. Some idiot called him the best player in the world. If that is not overrated, I don't know what is. Despite playing as a second striker for the last 2 seasons, he is not competing with Lamps in terms of goals, assists, no of passes, successful passes or distance covered.


(2.) Agbonlahor

All pace, nothing else.




Most underrated players in the prem:


(1.) Frank Lampard

On course for his 5th straight season scoring 20+ goals. Always near the top of the charts in terms of distance covered, no of assists, no of passes, percentage of successful passes etc. Lacks the burst of pace and the shot of a Gerrard and is usually derided for 'deflected shots', but infact the statistics speak for themselves. Most of the hatred aimed at him started with disgruntled West Ham fans and propagated itself in the 2006 WC when fans misguidedly believed that he was holding Gerrard back from achieving his true potential as Englands AM. 3 years later, Lamps is still England's AM and Gerrard has to make do with any other position he can find.


(2.) Mascherano

Best DM in the world since father time caught up with Makelele.

How can anyone in his right senses mutter that Stevie G is over-rated
By such inference,maybe Zidane was high on Algerian grass when he posited that he rates Gerrard highly [/quote]If Zidane places Gerrard above the likes of Messi, Ronaldo et al, it just proves that HE IS BEING OVERRATED!

No wonder Zidane has no chance to be a manager, with the kind of bollocks that comes out of his mouth.

Lamps on the other hand is underrated because axiomatically inclined idiots like A-40 log on to Nairaland to denigrate his abilities, even when the statistics show that Lamps is head and shoulders above most of his contemporaries, including Gerrard.

Story Story Story!

Whats up guys? Just dropping by. Story story story is that Liverpool and Man City want to sign Mancienne this summer as he would only have one year left on his contract.

Gerrard is the most overrated player in prem. They would have you thinking that dude is the best thing since sliced bread. From the hype that guy garners, I would swear he's better than Lionel Messi.

tkb, na so you old reach?

1989? Boy, thats when I got my first memory.

This just defers your dissapointment.

Who the hell wants to talk to Debosky and about what?

This Romance section is full of crap sometimes.

Cos the postal service is wack. Everything boils down to infrastructure

Voltron was great, but Superted was the best.



This is a story about an ordinary teddy bear.

When he was made, they found something wrong with him and threw him away like a piece of rubbish into an old dark storeroom.

And then out of space, a spotty man brought him to life with his cosmic dust. .  . reh reh reh


Superted! Superted! Suuuuuupeeeerteeeeeeeeeed!!


Superted and Skeleton were the shit!!!
