English soccer slogan "it's coming home"

Coup in Nigeria might lead to a civil war like the first one due to the tribal differences.

It will NEVER happen.

There have been many coups without civil war in Nigeria

However there will be a progrom and/or counter coup if there is ever a coup from any other people but Northerners

lordfalcao:
if March can go for the price of palmer.

I will push towards palmer based on higher ceiling

March is 29 and a wingback by trade

raumdeuter:
When you realize that Mourinho bought like 6 of these 11

So £25m for Essien in 2004 is worth nearly £200m today?

And £13m for Ferreira is now £92m today?

This shit is for the garbage bin

Why is Drogba £24m in 2004 not there

How about Alan Shearer £15m in 1996

BlueAngel444:
Extremely honest not yet popular opinion
1. Palmer is an insane talent. He covers basically all attacking positions and that's because he's a very clever footballer, good at finding spaces.
2. Goals and assists are not what define the quality of a creative midfielder. Palmer will come good for Chelsea, there are just too many similar profile types in city.
3. I genuinely think Cole Palmer would make an instant impact in our team now. Kid is something special.
4. He is the best option we have so far and is worth £50m and more, his salary would also be moderate.
5. Anyone underrating Palmer haven't watched him well, he is clearly elite level talent.
6. Cole Palmer is better than Mason Mount.
7. Cole Palmer has the KDB situation written all over it.
8. He strikes the ball very well, top techniques. Goals will follow, he plays like Mahrez and fast for his height.
9. Cole Palmer reminds me of Martin odegaard, just without the hype and the stats, and that is definitely a profile Pochettino's Chelsea lack, irrespective of what system they play.

You made some sense

However on point 2, Palmer usually plays few minutes here and there so his stats should be taken with a pinch of salt cos he hardly plays 90 mins

£35m is OK, but 50 is too much

Griffon:
From the little I’ve seen, Palmer has more influence, and is much more effective and deadly on the final third than both Angelo and Noni.

But like someone rightly said, these are more of inexperienced lads we are assembling. When push comes to shove, I doubt they’ll be able to carry the team like top players do.

It just feels like Arsenal of yore. We are excited about this project but are convinced it’s not going to transcend beyond beautiful football with zero titles.

Palmer is very OK compared to the names we have been linked with

At least someone will buy Palmer from our hands if he doesn't establish himself and he won't become a millstone round our neck

Low risk, high upside signing

@ BlueRaydick, A40

See am, coach go soon fall join.

Na the President I pity in all this cos guys like that no dey get job after football politics spoil your name in such a bad way. And he no get skills to do anything else, na football corruption him sabi. Him mama barricade herself for church on hunger strike, she knows her boys life is on line

I am in my mid 30s, very comfortable and a dual citizen of Nigeria and a first world country.
I decided to relocate back to Nigeria because of starting a family and having my own children.
Since arriving the country and based on my experiences so far, my plans have changed.

I decided to first focus on having children as I found out that the Nigerian society has become almost worse than the west in terms of sexual debauchery.
People have sex for indomine, girls commit abortion without remorse, the worst thing is that no one here uses protection and by the time your average Nigerian girl reaches 30 years old, she has aborted 4 times, slept with almost 100 men and contacted several stds in the process.

What this means is that disciplined men like me are left with these category of girls, worst still is that they come very entitled and empty and can even ruin you with their lifestyle as they are usually impossible to reform.

Solution:
I had to go back to the drawing board and re-evaluated my plan, I have an ex-girlfriend (29 years old) whom I am very close with. She fits the bill in terms of who I want as a life partner but she is a single mother.
So I gave her a choice.

Have 2 children for me, those 2 children will automatically become dual citizens and I might consider marrying you and adopting your child but even if I don't marry you, your 2 children that you have by me will be taken care of and being dual citizens of a developed country they can turn to a blessing for you and your whole family in future.

Now, let me explain, I still love this lady and my decision was premised on how uncertain I am of what my choice will be in the future as such I wanted to be very open from the beginning, but even at this point, I can not guarantee I will marry her but I could depending on what happens in future.

She's going to give me a feedback later and I am quite positive she will take the offer.

If it were you faced with this option, what would you do ?

If no one will tell you, you are a psychopath

BlueAngel444:
it's very stupid to ask that kind of question, you know right?

Just say you're praying for Havertz to flop in Arsenal, just 3 games and you're following what some arsenal fans are saying. Ogbeni 6months is 6months he is still better than useless options Chelsea are rumoured after.

We spent £20m all in on 6 months loan for Felix for nothing and you say we should extend him for another 6 months. First of all no club will allow you take a player of that expense on 1st half of year loan anyway, they want to get rid for the full year at least. Engage your brain.

We got a maga offer of £65m for Havertz and you said we should look a gift horse in the mouth and turn it down till January when he will probably have no suitors and only 18 months left on his contract. Engage your brain.

Emile Smith Rowe been injured all year and is not even the RW we are seeking. We have enough people capable of playing AM from Nkunku to Chukwuemeka to chaos causer, and can even play 4-3-3 with Lavia, Enzo and Caicedo, you said we should choose Smith Rowe over Raphinha cos he plays AM. When we have no RW, furthermore Raphinha can even play AM

If it's this hard to engage your brain before typing, I wonder how hard you will find it to engage it before speaking.

BlueRayDick:
It's because u are not resident in Nigeria(most especially Lagos) , that's why u are asking this o. Most of the nightlife and real estate in Lagos Island is proudly sponsored by fraud money. Those boys dey get pass benz o; especially since the advent of bitcoin and other cryptos. Those boys don't go to the bank and cash out western union again, they receive their proceeds in crypto and they seem to have gone wiser than their elder brothers in the past.

That COVID-19 period was a blessing in disguise for them. Some of those boys have 2-3 houses built in their parent's names sef. The Yahoo thing has gotten to an endemic level ; boys coming out of secondary think more of buying cars than gaining admission to the university now. I know small small boys that were still Jss 1 when I was already in 300l in the university, dem don turn pablos now . Some of their parents were just helpless.

I used to think they weren't making money in the whole yahoo thing till hushpuppi was arrested and I was alarmed at how much that guy has stolen from his victims. Someone now told me there are boys who make more money that hush but they are not loud and lavish like him on social media

That's good, but how many of them hold it compared to the population of yahoo boys

From what I know, most young men in PH are into Yahoo now but the population that blow from it will be 1 in 1,000

Example, I caught my young cousin Simon who relies on me for monthly subsistence doing Yahoo work from his Watsapp profile. This guy is dead broke. These are the other 999 Saheeds/Simons that haven't made it.

Be like you no know wetin Dey on ground

raumdeuter:
1 Saheed go buy Benz among 1000 yahoo boys

The other 999 go sacrifice their girlfriend because them no hammer like Saheed

DeadPresidents:
As someone on Twitter said:

Simple.
Saheed buy Benz after one year of Yahoo so how 9-5 bros wey him salary no enter 200k for like 5 years wan convince boys to go school.

How many Saheed done buy Benz?

BlueAngel444:
Unpopular opinion
1. Maybe we shouldn't have sold Havertz at least till January
2. Having Felix on loan for 6months to a year isn't bad
3. Prefer Smith Rowe to Raphinha, Rowe can play 10, Raphinha can't and may come and become a Felix who's only interested in proving himself and Barca wrong.

You talk nonsense as always

Ballzproblem2:
people need to set their bar low for the next attacker we want to buy 🤦

Why should set our bar low?

We already have too much quantity and not enough quality. Either we get quality or we use what we have

Players who can play wings include

Sterling
Mudryk
Madueke
Chukwuemeka
Nkunku
Maatsen

Not to mention Gabriel out on loan

So no need looking for right winger if they are not significantly better at RW than the aforementioned. In that case, only Raphinha and Kudus tick the box from all the transfer targets mentioned so far

A40:
This Tuchel is he ok? Why not let Pavard go?

I didn't even know Inter will be MAGA enough to offer €30m. Money that you should quickly take before they change their minds

Take that 30m and pass it on to us for Nwa Jehovah

For that right wing, if it's not Raphinha or Kudus, they better just stick with what we have

All these Ferran Torres, Brennan Johnson, Smith Rowe are waste of time.

swiz123:
You insult Tuchel 2 times weekly for his horrible talent ID.
If anything, nwa Jesus should be embarrassed that Tuchel identified him.

Good one 😀

A40:
You're right in that aspect. But sometimes as a man you can always hand these women loaded gun to which they can turn and use on you.

FA and football politics happen everywhere so I'm not even going to make it a gender agenda.

All I'm saying is in this aspect regardless of previous beef what he did is the smoking gun they can use to nail him for any of his other perceived fvxkups. If this were a men's team winning this title would have at least brought temporary peace but when you mix what he actually did with the general outrage you know you done fvcked up.

I mean we all saw the video. Do those women look like they had any prior issue with the man? I mean half the squad is a new set of players sef who owe their presence in the squad to his policy

He should have kept it professional instead of giving those girls ammunition

The guy looseguard. He suppose keep everything official knowing the bad blood

Jenni Hermoso is even dating Alexia Putellas (2 time Balon d'or) who is having running beef with the manager, so Hermoso is even a ring leader in the mutiny and their most senior and decorated player, you come dey looseguard with Hermoso of all people

Remember the coach dropped Putellas from the final for disrespecting him in the semi, and Putellas is also one of the rebellious crew the President threatened with 5 year ban. So both Hermoso and Putellas no like the coach and President from day. Last last, dem go bring that coach down

Capaldi:
I rate Smith Rowe very highly. He was one of Arsenal's top scorers in 2021/22 season but last season he lost his place to Martinelli I think plus injury. Seems to be out of favour there.

The classic argument of Smith Rowe being better than Saka

Kudos on Moussa Diaby pick though

Sulele04:
Not hard tbh, Tuchel allegedly wants Scott McTominay too.

Some leprous fingers swore Tuchel had nothing to do with our disastrous transfer window last summer. Now we can see that nigga doesn't watch football and his knowledge of players is limited to players he sees in his immediate league environment

Leprous fingers when they discover Tuchel rate Nwa Jesus highly

Either Tuchel talent id is horrible or Nwa Jesus is a decent player

A40:
That Spanish FA boss na very mumu man to pull that yeye stunt in these days and times. Anything Boss and underling right from Bill Clinton time is where I have learned that it is simply a terrible idea.

Watching the game live I knew he was going to run into problem, not just because he overstepped his boundaries but because of the climate we are in. Look at that video very well and you can see that every single player consented enthusiastically some even jumping into his arms for hugs and pecks (which was inappropriate no doubt) but we are not blind. Now that Hermoso was where he really fvcked up.

Overall it's just a stupid thing to do by the man cos thinking men avoid situations or play games where they can't win. Consensual knacks almost got the most powerful man in the world thrown out of office, we are talking about women here who can agree to something that moment and the next day paint a completely different story.

He played stupid games and won stupid prizes

lol. Una never still understand this matter

This ain't about a kiss, a hug or anything. Things like this happen spontaneously during moments of celebration.

There's a civil war going on there. The players want the coach out for the last 2 years. Rather than sack the coach, the President gave ultimatum to 15 players who went on strike to either return or be suspended for 5 years. 12 of them never returned and the ones playing still hate the coach. Including many of the players who didn't raise official complaint. Their issues stem from the coach being an ultra disciplinarian who makes them leave their doors open till 12am to monitor their sleeping habits, monitors their movements on days off, and other funny behaviours

The coaches father is also a big man in Spanish football politics and the President is parapo with the coach. If they clear out the President, then they can get to the coach

The President was just one misstep away from a setup and he fell into it. He then compounded it by telling lies of what Hermoso said.

The coach instead of keeping quiet has now thrown the President under the bus, knowing that President has men in the FA. The President is only in this situation for backing the coach in the first place and if I'm him, I'll get my stooges in the FA to investigate the coachs behaviours, let us both fall together.

drisham:
it was 65m sir

He was bought for 45

nateevs:
Meanwhile Boehly's data people recommended Gordon for us. It was £40m at the time. It's a steal now.

Gordon is a tactical bonus every manager will love to have. His extreme pace and pressing is not easily found plus he's fairly comfortable on the ball unlike Mudryk. Even if his team park bus, he's a massive threat on counterattack. His pace will also force many teams into defensive block

Ching, Ching, we got Cash over here

BlueMann:
I saw this Somewhere. What do y'all think?

Mistapha Hadji does not belong in top 10 and Aboutrika is not greater than Ahmed Hassan

Yaya Toure
Abedi Pele
Ahmed Hassan
Michael Essien
Mahamadou Diarra
Seydou Keita
Jay Jay Okocha
Aboutrika
Sunday Oliseh

These are my greatest midfielders in order. I prefer Oliseh to Okocha personally but greatness is a different measure from personal preference

obainojazz:
Ahhh Cuba, I fear that country (probably because of the poverty there).

I’m looking at the Caribbeans in that region as I like the vibes plus they seem safe and cheap lol.

Violent crime no dey Cuba at all

It's a weird one because even with low cash, Govt provide them Rice, beans, occasional meat and milk plus housing and they are all in the same boat so there is no covetousness that leads to violent crime

And the babes come in all shades

raumdeuter:
Shebi Naija passport suppose fit enter Cuba

E go enter, you can fly in from Canada

obainojazz:
EURO just too loud for holiday… I want where if I carry $1000, e go be like 1billion

Go to Cuba. You won't regret it. Money dey stretch like Mr Fantastic for there. If say Yankee no get visa ban, Dayo for dey reach there 6 times a year. Where doctors dey earn $50 per month, how much you think say toto go be?

But since you are already in the East, you get more options than most - Phillipines, Cambodia and Thailand most especially

Amoto94:
Chelsea new offensive philosophy is clear — Box occupation.

We're the only team to rank in the top 3 for all of the following:

- Shots inside box
- Touches in box
- Passes into box
- Carries into box
Expected Chelsea

lol
Forget everything else. Everyone knows that there is an agenda at play.

All these issues would not have happened had England won and the narrative would have been when is the England coach replacing Gareth S.

If they have their way then likely the Spanish duo will be forced out and the fact is that without him they wouldn't have won this tournament. Their very first world cup. But the President and RFEA or whatever are fighting back.

This ain't netball...This is football, it requires mental toughness.

Nah, not everything is about male Vs female

15 National team players cannot complain about boss and the President will be threatening them with 5 year suspension. These include Balon Dor winners and you are threatening them like mere housegirls. 15 out of 22 is poor people management. Now 81 eligible players are refusing to play which means they all hate him but their leg never strong to complain. The World Cup was won by Barcelona, not by any coach the players don't even like.

FBS:
So how come 22 other players agreed to play and guess what...won the BIGGEST trophy of their lives.

As you can see, those who didn't show up are clearly NOT the best in the world.

FIFA will and can confirm this.

Almost all of the 15 still played after the threat from President. It was last year Euros they boycotted , and you can see his performance without them. In World Cup, they refused to celebrate with him after scoring. They are gonna get him after clearing out the President, relax
