Hehehe...what a bomboclack analysis

We are waiting for CR7 to fluke his way to 70 goals pere abi na only Messi fluke dey for??

Itsrm:
Scoring 91 goals a season is not a stroke of luck. Your own screenshot invalidates your argument

Allow him to twist the English the way he deem fit. I said exactly same thing to him, but he rather ignore the definition (the basis) but hold on to a hypothetical example

Bombblacks:
You where the one of who jumped into my mention to make a correction that wasn't needed in a bid to show yourself and that's why i asked you to give your own definition and make examples with it using few sentences which you couldn't make. Now using the example given below let's buttress it further

Her second championship shows that the first one was no mere fluke.

Now let's turn it around to what the argument was.

Messi not reaching 91goals ever again in a calender year shows 2012 was a mere fluke


Are you saying that statement is grammatically wrong?

Why ask for my definition when you know you don't wanna read it?

I can't use the winning championship to compare with the 91goals cos I don't know what the championship entails for it to be termed fluke or not.

For example, the community shield can be won through a fluke means while the league can't.

So one can say a team wins the community shield through fluke.

But I guess you to rubbish my claim again as usual since that's what you don't expect

Ibunkun1:
English hard! 91 goals in a year a fluke

Lol... 91goals a fluke.
Funny lots

Equating 91goals a calendar year to championship. Championship wey fit be 3matches to win that's what someone wants me compare with consistently scoring goals for a whole calendar year at a high frequency.

Bombblacks:
I asked you to use it in a sentence not explain things nobody asked for. You still didn't answer my question. Look at the way it's used in this sentence concerning the woman championship and tell me how it's different from how the other person said it regarding Messi.

You asked me not to explain things? Then why tell me to give you definition and examples then

You've already made up your mind and you're acting otherwise as if you haven't.

You can't expect me to read your opinion while you brush off mine as rubbish. It doesn't work that way. Make we just end our talk for here esp as you're not ready to read mine

Bombblacks:
I said give a definition and use it in a sentence not the unnecessary explaination you typed. Look at the 2nd example given below which fits the argument you guys where having. Meaning the First one she won was regarded as a fluke until she did it again. Now did Messi do it again? If you answer is no then can it be used interchangeably with that sentence?

You asked for definition and example, didn't you??

A stroke of luck! Does doing something over and over again for a whole calendar year CONSISTENTLY looks like stroke of luck for your eyes??

Bombblacks:
Ok what's the definition of fluke and give examples.

definition: an unlikely chance occurrence, especially a surprising piece of luck.

In order words, it's something someone didn't intend to do or was just lucky enough to do. Flukes have been proven time and time again to be repeated.

Example: the goal saka scored against Chelsea last season was a fluke and it was repeated by masuaku against same Chelsea and against same Mendy. Those two goals are fluke and we can see that it was repeated as against your definition.

Leicester(for example) winning the league is no fluke cos it was not a surprising piece of luck cos they were winning consistently week in week out for a whole season.

In a nutshell, anything that demands consistency to produce results is no fluke

Spy360:
Why should I stop sinning when no one is condemning me?

Anytime we are on a winning run, e dey pain Kokane because those his snide remarks become obsolete.

Defense wins you league.... Hahahaha

iamoyindamola:
Now let's use benchmark for that one cr7 use edge messi

Melvyn11:
What batterings?

Messi batterrings of course

Bombblacks:
Seems people like you don't understand the meaning of fluke. If you did something once and couldn't replicate it, it can well be regarded as a fluke.

Haba!!! This is very very very far from the definition of fluke

Expert17:
Even Arsenal unbeaten league triumph was a fluke since they have bn unable to smell a serious title challenge.

What a great logic from CR7 fans

Melvyn11:
1billion likes from me. Ronaldo is a 60goal plus on average player while midget is a 50something goal player.

Praiz the lord!!!

So you've finally appeared after all the whole batterings

Expert17:
Hehehe, please look at the wide and dangerous margins below

CR7: 69, 63, 61, 60

LM10: 60, 59, 59, 58.

Lol... Don't you know the difference between 59 and 60 is VERY VERY VERY BIG!!?

popizaino:
Isn't this down to the absence of pep Guardiola in his life?

Na wa oo Popi

Capaldi:
Fluck/luck/Exception not the norm. Even Timay gave a detailed explanation. How is pointing out that Messi scoring 91goals in calender year is an exception not the norm an attack on Messi? Like i said before any post not licking Messi ass will turn to an automatic attack in the brains of Messi fanboys. I rest my case

Something can be an exception to the norm without it being a fluke.

How is that hard to understand for all these Cr7 fanboys bikonu??

raumdeuter:
Ronaldo could not even crack 70 goals

Can we say Ronaldo 69 was a fluke since he didn't hit 69 again, not even above 65

For Ronaldo the benchmark is 60, but for messi it's 61

Such a funny set of people

Capaldi:
I don't know why you are saying replicate like anybody said he should score 91goals again. That's the problem with Messi fans. Every post they see not licking their god ass is seen as an attack. No one is saying scoring 91 goals is easy or downplaying it. The point is that Messi level is 60 to 50goal mark yearly. The 91goal is just an exception not the norm.

I don't think anyone doubted this, but it's you Cr7 fans saying the 91goals is a fluke that's bringing all these arguments.

One thing with you(Cr7) fans is that, you guys will bring stats, then attack messi and once messi fans retaliate by bringing facts, the next thing person will hear is "messi fans and licking messi's arse, messi fans are insecured" and bla bla bla.
Why can't You guys just hail your god in peace without attacking messi while at it? Why?

Expert17:
just imagine the agenda-driven benchmark

Some Christians won't make heaven because of Nairaland post.

Lol... Many nairaland monikers no go make heaven I swear

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.

Na wa oo.
Na only man city and Liverpool come league??

Shukusheka:
There are some achievements that can never be called a fluke no matter how you'd want to argue it sha.

Winning a league.
Going undefeated an entire season.
Scoring over 100 goals or points a season
Conceding less than 10 goals an entire season.
scoring 91 goals in a year.

The level of consistency you need week-in-week-out an entire year to do this is very high. It is stupid to just chalk it off as a fluke because the achievement can not be replicated.

100% facts!!!

iamoyindamola:
Lmao
I am interested in his case for or against odegaard

Lol... I don even tell am make him no overblow am sha. Small small things like this media can overblow it and put stupid ideas in someone's head

timay1:
it was definitely a fluke year. But his fans will not admit to it.
Because if it wasn't, he should have at least hit 80 goals in an additional one or two seasons but my guy couldn't even enter 61

It's synonymous to the last season Hazard had at Chelsea when he had a lot of goals and assists.

Hazard don't usually produce good stats as a foward and has never had that kind of stat at any stage of his career before. So that was a one off

Bros, calm down. There are some outstanding things one will do in a lifetime that it'll be hard for that same person to replicate again. That doesn't mean it's a fluke, rather it just meant the bar was toooo high. And yes, that 91 goal was too high for even peak messi to replicate nor even near it. Even the great Gerd Muller, I doubt he scored close to 80 goals again after his record breaking 87goals. It's like saying Messi dribbling those 7 players and keeper then scoring when he was 19yrs was a fluke goal because he didn't repeat it again in his lifetime.

It's funny how you now set the benchmark messi couldn't reach at 61, just because you knew messi scored up to 60goals. If messi had scored up to 63 goals, the new benchmark will be 64

iamoyindamola:
He scored against soton bro
What's your point gangan

Lol... I think davep meant west ham game

Bombblacks:
Was a bit of a meh documentary for me. It’s an Eric Cantona money making piece masquerading as a United documentary mostly. A lot more has happened in United’s history than Eric Cantona. I thought a documentary called The United Way may be a little bit more about that and less of a self serving ego trip for one player.

Lol.. I think that's a bit unfair on the documentary. As far as I can remember

1.. They talked about how some man u players had plane crash on their way to play European final, and how even with the loss, they still won their first European cup(this was pre fergie). I guess that's whom they famously call the "busby babes"

2.. They talked about how the coach before Ferguson was giving the players freehand. Like they can flex as they like, as long as they give good performance wen called upon . I guess that's the DNA way learnt

3.. They talked about Ferguson appointment and how he was even facing sack cos he couldn't win any trophy for 5yrs. All the papers, jounos, TVs, and all were all shouting "sack, sack, sack"! And how he turned things around. And so much more. And all the highlighted took hours o. Mind you they started year to year going forward and ending at the treble winning season (wen cantona wasn't even a man u player again)

I just felt cantona was the embodiment of man u winning spirit and how he was one of the catalyst to take them to greater height.

Just my thoughts tho.

afrodoc2:
Players that Fergie loved like his sons; Cantona, Ronaldo, and of course the great Darren Fletcher.

The first two I know, but you see Fletcher, I never knew he was one of his favorites oo.
I guess because Fletcher is Scottish

Lies
Elneny this elneny that
Sambi is a better passer than xhaka even in tight position, no credit for xhaka, martinelli made it look easy cos of timing his run and positioning
Lacazette did a difficult one with a well weighted pass against westham


Abegi

No problem oo

iamoyindamola:
Wait are we rating xhaka against understrength Leeds, the pass that he took forever to play.
He wasn't even under any pressure

Lol... At least he passed na. We're not rating him, we're just happy he did it.

Elneny in same situation would have passed to partey or sideways. Sambi in same situation would have ran and ran(trying to dribble with the ball) before passing, by then, martinelli would have entered offside twice.

Let us give credit to xhaka. Not only did he spot the run, it was also rightly weighed

Android17:
Not at all. You have to get 5 scorelines and winners right each week to win that money. Since the Aston Villa vs Burnley game was postponed the only game that was made available for predictions but was still ongoing today was the Leeds vs Arsenal. So by getting the scoreline wrong, I cannot get 50K anymore. I could still get $1000 if I end up having the highest points score of the predictions though. A correct score and winner is 10 points. Correct winner wrong score is 4 points. Anything else is 0. If I got all 5 scores right that is 50 points and $50K.

Wait? Five correct scorelines to win $50k? Omo.

The stuff and the way you explained it looks very interesting. So it means you'll wait till next match week now for another one?

Another thing I wanna ask is that do the pick the 5matches for you to make your predictions from, or you'll be the one to bring up the 5 matches yourself?
