If Laliga is a farmers league then epl is worst

Mancity is doing a Bayern Munich to you guys if not for Liverpool but you think epl is not a farmers league and Laliga is despite having 3 different winners recently

Wait till mancity win this season epl then we will officially endorse the epl as a farmers league

EPL 5 different winners in last 9 years, how many in Laliga?

EPL 4 different UCL finalists in last 4 years and two different winners, how many in Laliga?

It's taking Man City 95+ points to win EPL, unlike Laliga that this ragged Madrid is dominating. Can Madrid confidently beat chest to win against any of the top three in EPL right now?

andrewbaba44:
Laliga farmers league ,but man city has won 3 of the past 4 epl

Be deceiving yourself

As of this season, with the decimation of Barcelona, Laliga has become a farmer's league. Not always the case in the past.

Ebukacute:
Sir you said same thing before we carried champions league. Conte used same formation to win league. Your oga hojgerg haven't achieved quarter of what jorginho has achieved.
I'm not trying to hype jorginho or overrate him but the truth is that y'all hate him for no just reason. E no make sense sir

At least Hojberg has 2 league titles to his name

How many points will Italy get from 2nd round against Austria to final if match ended at 90 mins? Someone said parking bus cannot work for league, only cups, you went to bring Italy Euros as counter-argument

Ebukacute:
Hahahaha... Is tuchel also coaching the Italy team that just won euros few months ago? Or Mancini is also bias?

Can you win league by parking bus and waiting for penalties? Receive sense. Jogginghoe can never win league in a competitive league. He will soon be 31 with no league title to his name.

.

Ancelotti about to chop an awoof league title over in farmers league in Spain

In 20 years career at the top, this would only be his 5th league title

2 of the 4 he has won were awoof league titles with Bayern and PSG

Only respectable league titles being Chelsea 09/10 and Milan 03/04

User09:
To all the haters.

Who else can hear those Jorginho chant

Exonerate1:
Loud and clear.

Two clowns.

Which fans don't encourage their penalty taker. Even in Sarri time, they boo him one week and sing his name the next week when he scores penalty

Even Timo Werner and Hudson Odoi have chant at Chelsea. None of the drunks singing his name won't sell him in a heartbeat.

BikeMan:
You dey mind am?

Validating his bias

NinjaXmetahuman:
We have started dominating well again since jorginho came in

When I checked first half we had nearly 70% possession so what are you observing?

He may not Swim the whole 12 Hours complete!

He can swim and Rest (Float around). Only Expert swimmers can Try this though!

Maybe the Minister was born and bred in a Purely Riverine Enclave!
If you see some Ijaw swimmers, you won't doubt this story!

Madagascar is surrounded by sea so his swimming ability is not in doubt. 12 hours swimming with periods of treading water to rest is not in doubt. 24 hours sef is achievable

theForth:
You're not talking to kids, no one can swim for 12 hours.

Swimming 12 hours is pretty straightforward if you know how to tread water to rest

Both he and the two pilots made it back seperately. As long as you are a good swimmer which Madagascans should be, I see no challenge as long as the water is warm enough

popizaino:
I could have believed all this Messi wanted to play the no 9 position if pep guardiola didn't go ahead to sign David villa a proper no 9 although,can occasionally drift from the wing to replace ineffective ibrahimovic .

Villa played left-wing throughout. You still need a guy that will be able to slot in when Messi is unavailable, no team goes into a season with one no9 only but better if that person is flexible to play wings as well which Ibra is not

zendi:
Shut up, IDIOT !
Bob Dole spoke from the abundance of his heart.
Dole wrote his Farewell Letter to be read after he was gone.
Dole was therefore speaking from the Great Beyond, and nobody at that point had any use for euphemisms, ostrichisms or political correctness.
Dole was directing Brutal TRUTH to the Political Camp well known for the time honored tradition of Voter Vodoo.
(to be contd)

Mumu, if that was the case, he would have claimed he was in Georgia, Arizona or any of the contested states, not Chicago where his vote will make no difference

He did well in Braga. I somehow followed Portuguese league highlights that year

Shukusheka:
It was decent but Barca didn't beat their transfer record for a decent record. Even Eto'o who was used as a sacrificial lamb in the transfer deal was contributing way more than that number for Barca.

Such a season will get you a second season at least if there was no wider politics at play, especially caveated by the fact he didn't play 9 all season.

The decision to ease him out for Messi was correct but no way can he be termed a flop. David Villa had worse numbers

Trump's own DOJ investigated and found nothing. Cyberninjas audited and upheld the result. Courts heard and saw no evidence.

Who does he want to investigate again, aliens from Mars?

This is good. It will just remind people who've forgotten what a crackpot he is

basilico:
He is cashing out while the climate change sermon goes on.

SpaceX is far ahead of Bezos and Branson outfits though and it has a very bright future.

SpaceX will be the real game changer for him if he can deliver wifi and telephone communications from his satellites and control the Telcoms industry, that's where the crazy money is. The Tesla valuation is just a fad that values Tesla at the value of the whole automotive industry put together, as if other companies won't also release EV and catch up whatever Technological advantage he holds. NIO in China has already caught up with regards to EV

basilico:
I agree with you. Tesla future rides on the religion of climate change. Biden ,WEF and COP26 have set target on fossil fuels, giving EV manufacturer Tesla a huge market bump despite few vehicle sales.
The downside. Some Activists are protesting a licence to open massive cobalt extraction in Nevada because environment. Others want the cobalt because batteries.

Propublica had published an article of how top 25 billionaires managed to pay zero tax.

Elon is a tricky fella who is strategic in everything he does, and knows how to control the narrative to achieve his real goals. Anyone who thinks he sold shares just to pay tax to prove Bernie Sanders
and Elizabeth Warren wrong doesn't know his antecedents.

Elon that said a year ago he is selling all his properties in California because he wants to live a non-materialistic lifestyle and own no physical possessions, had all the hippies hailing him for his Confucius philosophical outlook to life, not knowing the real reason is he's lined up a move to Texas, and wants to move from California without hurting anyone's feelings.

You must be naive to think he is selling Tesla Shares just so he can pay tax and prove Elizabeth Warren wrong.

Shukusheka:
Bros Ibra flopped in that Barca team. He went through goal droughts while Messi who was playing from the wings was scoring hattricks after hattricks. I remember there was a point he had scored just 1 goal in 10 games. He was struggling.

Ibra only started returning poorly after he was bombed out from the no9

popizaino:
First and foremost, I don't believe in that article, all this offline stuffs are not my thing. I can as well write that Ferguson is into some form of magic spell and defend it with how John terry slipped off for the last penalty when Ferguson suddenly pocketed his hands if could write well. And trust me people would consume it and use it as prove of their argument,even though what I wrote was just from the figment of my own imagination. So that's how useless I see all this kind of offline articles. I want event that happened on the pitch not some them say them say stories. Now let's talk about Zlatan,he is a fantastic striker no doubt but his pattern will always fall short when it mattered most because it requires that things should be done in his own way rather than following the flow of the game. He played mostly in the serial A where everything comes at snail level speed so his average 40 goals doesn't come as a surprise besides you don't get to play those intense game that would expose his flaw every week but occasionally. You can't have your time to shoot at will in a UCL semi final game, or other matches big games and this is where his flaws are mostly laid bared before our eyes. Secondly playing under the pep tiki taka as strikers requires you to make use of spaces to be able to latch onto the balls of those creative midfielders or bring out the defenders by holding on the ball and turning on them then realising the player in your front. Just watch the 2009/2010 UCL semi finals you will see the practical example of what I am trying to say.

I believe that 100%. Messi wanted the false 9. Ibra didn't flop anything, someone was just better and wanted his spot.

In Man City, Pep called all the players in one of his first meetings and asked if any of them is Messi. They said no. Then he said Messi is the only player in football that can tell him what to do and he can't bench, and they should shut up and follow his instructions precisely. That's as per Sami Nasri who was a first hand witness.

obainojazz:
Tally the points from my last 9 games and I’ve got 501 points in total which is about more than half of my current score. I should have more than a thousand points if I wasn’t busy but that’s not an excuse, we focus on FA cup now. You just about 60 points more than me in the last 10 games

That's 6 points per game. Extrapolate over 38 games and tell me the difference

iamoyindamola:
Lol you mean you were dumped out of the fa cup in the first round
That's round of 8million

Didn't even notice there was Cup going on

obainojazz:
You are just 10 points above me with most loses due to me writing my final exams
I went on an eight game unbeaten run after my exams… I’ll surprise una

10 points? That's 4 games

Talk total points, not H2H. You should be the worst in the league

popizaino:
Ronald would never have flopped because he knows how to make use of spaces and also has closed control, zlatan flopped because he is the kind of striker that want all the time on the world to take his chances, control can be not so closed atimes especially,when the game is intensed. Personally,felt pep guardiola should have gone for Berbatov instead of ibrahimovic. Rooney also would have been a perfect fit for pep all conquering Barca side.

Zlatan will never flop for that reason. Zlatan doesn't want all the time, he simply slows the game down before shooting which is a Hallmark of all good strikers. If slowness was his problem, he won't be scoring goals at 40 when he's even slower

Zlatan got bombed out deliberately because Messi wanted that position and was texting Pep about it.

popizaino:
If fred dedicates his time on the pitch not to be playing more than 5meters passes and passes where his Tommy faces,then trust me n scummy will ever blame me.

seon01:
@Ibime. boss, are you still following up on Divine?

I am. Dev is not paying much focus on it at the moment.

raumdeuter:
Elon Musk one of those billionaires that liberals claim don't pay taxes will be paying 11billion in taxes this year. The same man called a freeloader by Elizabeth Warren

https://www.nairaland.com/6904185/elon-musk-says-hell-paying

Good play by him. He's a smart man. This is my take.

Do you know any CEO that can dump $30bln in shares without causing a run on their company share price?

Elon used sense to cash out his shares at an all-time high disguising it under a taxation argument with Bernie so as not to harm share value.

Tesla Share price has done an unsustainable 12x since March 2020 with no discernable increase in sales volume.

Tesla which sells 500,000 cars per year is worth more than Toyota, Nissan, GM, Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes combined which sell tens of millions of cars per year.

Clearly Elon has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cash out after an unsustainable bubble run which must pop - easy, find an angle to do so under cover of tax argument. Elon was not even worth $30bln at the start of 2020.

So here's the Maths - the number of shares he sold were worth $2.5bln at start of 2020 are now worth $30bln. Clear out $30bln, pay $11bln tax and he has $19bln cash from something that was worth $2.5bln pre-tax and will eventually come down toward reality.

There is no CEO that can dump $30bln of shares in a company he directs in one go without Shareholders losing faith that he believes the company is way overvalued (and by turn, their holdings are way overvalued). That will cause a run on the company, and with the leveraged positions on that company, the share price would collapse like a pack of cards.

Elon found a way to do so under disguise of tax argument. That's what the sharp guys should be looking at, not focussing on the tax argument which is a distraction he created in order to do so. The point he was trying to make is he can't pay tax until he sells shares, which he did. Many billionaires simply borrow against their shares without selling them, thus paying no tax at all. I doubt Elon has paid $1bln cumulative tax in all his years on earth before this year.

Warren and Bernie's point is still a point worth debating ie how Govt can reflect Capital Gains without disposal of Shares. Capital Gains that won't be achieved without Fed pumping money into propping up Share-prices (Ben Bernanke recapitalising banks to allow them money to buy other companies, thus increasing their value, Obama trillion dollar bailout, Trump $2.2 trln rescue package, lending money to them at zero interest rates etc). Tesla is the poster boy for increases in valuation caused solely by increase in money supply brought about by these Govt interventions, not because of their performance in selling cars.

You sef judge if Elon is not taking his money and running based on the valuation of the companies below. Tax argument na smokescreen. Tesla is in the mother of all bubbles and bro is simply cashing out while he can. Tesla suppose to be where GM is at best with $78bln valuation, not the $1trillion it is sitting on. GM car sales and profits dwarf Tesla's but you can dash Tesla the same valuation as GM based on future prospects. You sef no go cash out? What is 30-35% tax when you know your company is overvalued more than 12 times what it's supposed to be.

donjazet:
Does anybody agree with this?? Current premier league best 11? Henderson over kante and jorginho? Laporte over VVD? Funny how none of the top 4 teams have a performing striker.

This is fairly on point for this season.

Remove Kante there, he hasn't played this season

Jorginho should carry his cross alone

Some people are getting too comfortable in this FA Cup. There is a consequence for failure and underperformance. Lucky for some, they can still use Obainojazz to shine and escape relegation
