I wonder what significant change Lukaku can bring to Arsenal when the obvious weakness lies with the shaky defence.

Wouldn't a Shay given for example be Wengay's priority right now than a lukaku

^^^^Cherry picking at its finest.

For every awful England-monetenegro game, there were 3 mouth watering matches, ala Scotland-spain, Belgium- Austria et al

Perhaps, England's perfromance cannot be as mediocre as Arsenal's show of shame against west brom this season  

What a fascinating round of matches

I was particularly impressed by Austria and Scotland tonight. The former despite being numerically disadvantaged managed to savage a point

and dominated Belgium for majority of the game while Scotland were very unlucky not to have gotten something out of their game. . . . . still a great

performance by them all the same.

As for the three fowls, While tonight's result might have surprised many, I choose to be in the minority. Creativity, passion, desire was zilch.

Heck, The last time they produced a decent performance was against Croatia in 2009. . .this team needs Jesus

Even though I'm late on this. . . .get well soon moderavizzle

I don't understand the constant show of disinterest and disregard towards internationals. .  . . how are some of the matches different from club football.

I personally don't mind seeing Holland play Sweden or Scotland vs spain. international breaks shouldn't be an issue to any football fan cos at the end

of the day we are [b]football [/b]fans first and foremost. . . .our interest should not be restricted to club footie only.

The broadcasting is like an amateur home video

That's an understatement. . . .one could hardly see flight of the ball

Sorry Jalether.my last statement shuld be directed to D-sense.

No offence taken

We have been abysmally poor so far. No real purpose and organisation to their play

The midfield is non existent and we have really struggled to trouble their GK . . .   I don't blame the people who have lost total confidence in the team

It's half time. . . They had better come out with a much improved performace in the second half

lakeside4love:
@Jalether Are u sure u are watching d right match?cos d match am watching right now on AIT, Nigeria is a goal down.

From my initial quote below, where did I suggest the contrary

jalether:
I don't know where you are watching the match but guinea has been in front for over 14 mins now.

get your facts right

The picture quality is totally unacceptable. . ,  for crying out loud in this day and age, all African TV channels should be broadcasting in standard definition

I pity the people who have to put up with this.

If the Indian Cinema industry rakes in an average of $1.3bn a year
If the US cinema industry raked in $10.65bn in 2009

Then we have the Canadian, British, French, Australian etc

Tell me how much the SECOND BIGGEST MOVIE IND (Nolly-who). made?


Because Nolly took a meaniless storyline or copied storyline movie and split into 4 parts doesnt mean they are the biggest,
Yeah Tell us how they are the second biggest?

GBAM. . . Precisely my sentiment

The selection criteria must be based on industries that consistently churn out mediocre movies in massive quantities

The way some Gaynners talk,you'd think NL paid their salary. . .

jalether, I know not what you are talking about.
I honestly, think we are talking about different things here. Read again, Ramirez loses the ball more often than any other Chelsea player. i.e he gets robbed off easily. I never talked about his passes. imo they are two different things.
Against Citeh he lost the ball and proved costly. Well, you could argue that the defenders were no better, but still he LOST the ball and that was NOT the first time.
Against L'Arses, he also lost the ball several times (especially in the first 20 mins of the 1st half) but thankfully they did not prove costly, because Mikel won the ball back.
Ramirez is energetic and can run forever.  I never said otherwise. My only input was that he should HIT THE GYM!!!
This is from Pat Nevin's column. . .

Carlo might have been even happier with the 83 minutes played by Ramires. It hasn't been an easy start for him as there were many adjustments to be made. He had to get to know his new team mates and learn their strengths and weaknesses, such as they are. There was the settling in period in a new country with a different culture, but most importantly there is also the difficulty of getting used to the English Premier League. Quite clearly that has taken a little while and even at the start of the Arsenal game Ramires lost the ball just too often for comfort, which is not exactly the accepted Chelsea way.

Do you understand what I'm saying now?!!!


Talking sublime passes, till date, he has made only one pre-assist and the other superb one also in the arsenal match to find Cole (or was it Essien who got the pass?) on the left flank close to arsenals box. That was all.

I totally agree with you on the highlighted part.

It's very difficult for a light weight to succeed in this physically demanding league. . . . Robinho had to find out the hard way

dayokanu:
^^ I dey work. All those ones na gra gra, when season start who be Timberwolves?

Timberwolves ho, "Arseanalfansare" GAY ni

I still think we (lakers) will retain the championship. . . miami heat will be the biggest flop in the history of nba this season, nothing for those trio .

I just can't wait for the cavs- heat fixture. . it will be interesting to see how intense and hostile Lebron's reception will be. I foresee broken jaws and

crunched bones

@dk, you dey watch the lakers game? timber wolves wan kill them oo

slimshay:
Gayleather seriously do you have a social defect. People are responding to the most silly things by dK, see nobody bothers with what you have to say. Get a clue. Jeez, Dre, I see dumb people *shivers*

debosky:
You are not very intelligent so I won't waste my time on you - two lines will suffice. The league is not won by beating Chelski. . .  .Citeh did it twice last season and ended up 5th.

And what league or trophy has your manager won in the last 5 seasons. bloody nincompoop

debosky:
Persistent idiocy ala DK is also a world record. . . .congratulations.

But he's telling the truth, isn't he.

In business, a manager's job will surely be on the line if he's incapable of coming up with a method to successfully eliminate a persistent and obvious

problem/threat that keeps reoccurring. wetin wengay dey look as Drogba/chelsea just dey despoil hin defence for 7/8 games in succession.

doesn't that highlight his lack of technical know how . . . . . when you know what to expect and still do nothing about it

mystikal:
The same reason Chelsea couldnt stop the Arsenal dominance for 10 years  

THIS in itself should be more than enough motivation for wengay and his duds to ensure the glory days of (beating chelsea and

winning the title back to back in style) are brought back to the club. it's seems the desire and ambition went downhill since he started selling his key players

without replacing them with sufficient qualities

mystikal:
make I hear word jor.

It took this same Chelsea about 10 years to figure out a way to beat Arsenal in the Premier League. _{na turn by turn}

story story!

What has prevented Arsene wengay and his biscuit bone duds from responding by devising a strategy to stop the dominance?

We could argue that your managers failure to get the obvious right is a pointer to his tactical ineptitude

Is arsenal becoming less predictable against us too much to ask. . . I'm getting bored of the same ole same ole.

Even Wigan don beat us in the last 2 seasons. . now that's competitive .

Vieira:
Unfortunately one must accept that Chelsea are simply a better team than us.
:-(

Only a nincompoop can dispute the assertion above

tkb417:
just 3 matches?

he shd be banned for 10 games. wtf

against Chelsea, i tot he was on drugs

This is personal

Some players take the idea of footie being a contact sport way too far. Webb shoulda been banned from footie for failing to send him off at the WCF for

his tackle on Alonso

FBS:
3 points was the koko and the boys delivered. Just what the doctor prescribed.
Ramirez lost the ball continuously yesterday (especially in the first half), just like in all the matches he played in till date. How you go say he plays like Essien the BISSON???!!!
Not taking anything away from that vital pass of his and the abundance of energy, he clearly needs to work on his ball retention skills. He should take some lessons from Mikel.
Overall, the whole team delivered. Cech was CLASS!!!

I definitely disagree

Passing is not one of Essien's key strengths and I'm sure Ibime and Nateevs especially can testify to that. . . . in our midfield, I dare say Lampard and Mikel

are the only proven players in that regard. If anything, Essien is only [b]marginally [/b]better than him at passing. . .Ramires's problem lies in trying to find

difficult passes. . . He only needs to keep it simple.

dayokanu:
Yeah I have read it too.

The favourite parts were,

"If to say" Lamentations.

If to say Arshavin has 7 balls,
If to say Drogba get Gorimapa head,
If to say Alex get Dada,
If to say wenGAY get brain,
If to say Nasri was born normal,
If to say Kolscieny was vaccinated against autism when he was young,
If to say Clichy didnt lose his senses .

If to say, if to sayyyyy, if to sayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

. Are you saying Timaya stole the "if to say" concept from the gayners

De jong is the modern day version of Graeme souness. . . he should be banned for 3 epl matches.

dayokanu:
You dey mind Debo?

Someone told me that a GAYYner was the co author of the Books of lamentation In Yoruba they call it "Ekun Adobosiki". Is that true?

In fact you no lie. Have you read their latest book which also happens to be their top seller, "Trophylessness is not a disease".

dayokanu:
Wasnt that the same way Carrick, Evra, G. Nevvile, Schole, Rio and Vidic were turned to emergency Atilogwu dancers just because of Olic, Muller and Altintop.

Na only Ramires? Soon na Iya Aladuke you go dey talk

Chelsea will soundly beat your team just like we did 5 seasons ago in the UCL
