BlueAngel444:
wow Jodera somebody beat me to it

Lol... You no serious

BlueAngel444:
a treble is not a title, it's a number just like sextuple (which by the way sounds more like a three sum, sex two people )

You can see how I underlined the word "main", which is equivalent to major.
Also see the teams that won it(only 7)
All having league, cl and corresponding fa cup


Mind you, Man city win 3 cups(or domestic treble) but nobody send that one whenever they're talking the likes of barca Bayern or Man u

MorataFC:
Treble means 3, I don't know the angle you are coming from, even if a team should win calabash cup emirate cup and any other useless cup, it will be termed treble.

Lol... Are you joking?
Just tell me you're joking and trolling

BlueAngel444:
it's nothing like that, it's you that is saying a competition that has more opponents from various countries is not major but a local trophy is major

Lol... Read my modified reasons I gave under this my quote you quoted

BlueAngel444:
so your argument now is that Europa league is not a Major trophy but FA cup is

Exactly!!

It's like saying the champions league trophy is more prestigious than the world cup trophy just cos Cl yields more money than world cup

There's a reason why if a club wins Cl, league and fa cup(or its country's equivalent) it's called a treble.

You can't win a treble by winning Europa, league and fa cup
Or
Europa, league and carabao cup.

Cos those ones aren't recognized major trophies

BlueAngel444:
nope it's not, FA cup win, one the money is lower than league champions prize in some countries. And the winners only make Europa league.

The only club major trophies
UCL
League
Then Europa league is closest to be considered because it offers direct qualification to UCL, and the winner's pay out is worth something.

Lol... It's just you giving this definition because of money. In terms of prestige

The major trophies in England(or other countries) are
1... The CL
2... The Premier League(or its equivalent in other leagues)
3... The FA Cup(or its equivalent in other leagues)

These are the recognized major trophies accepted.

Even the Europa league is not even a major trophy presently in football

Odunharry:
Honestly. Hoping Sweden will put an end to the game earlier but allowed it to go into PK. They had advantage to score and win, they still missed their PK.

Lol... Well, I had an open mind watching that game cos I wasn't in support of any of the two teams. So congratulations to Canada. They just need to thank Var cos it was var that helped their ministry with that Pk.

Also, that Lawrence girl of Canada was the only lady that impressed me in that match. The rest just dey normal

BlueAngel444:
to be fair, Arsenal have been winning FA cups just as Barcelona recently keep reclaiming copa del reys

Fa cup is a MAJOR TROPHY

BlueAngel444:
Barcelona have won just ONE major trophy in between four seasons

barca won la liga 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 season.
I believe league is a major trophy

Also do you want to tell me copa del rey is not a major trophy in Spain??

Segedinho:
My opinion on the issue wasn't the number of fans that d club will loose but

Barca will definitely loose some good amount of fans as a result of Messi's exit.

Like I said before..there are fans and there are hard core fanatics......

On the long run,people will not really be attracted to supporting the team if the team looses her fear factor..

Lol.. Then we'll wait till they loses their fear factor na.
Barca may not be as bad as y'all think. Maybe it's time for griezzmann to step up and be the main man, alongside Aguero. They still have good players if you look deeply into that squad

Segedinho:
Barca will definitely loose followership but not excessively.

I think lack of direction will do that..

As it is now....Barca has lost a major brand and they will have to try and replace it with someone pleasing to the fan otherwise most fans will loose faith in them.

But the problem here is barca are not in good shape moneywise

Thank God you know it's not excessively. At least we're getting somewhere. Cos I believe even the followership that left won't shake the entire fan base sef

As for lack of direction, leave that to the board and laporta. He(laporta) has done it before wen barca was going through hard time. They believe he'll do it again.

They don't need to replace messi the brand. Ronaldinho was a brand before messi, but messi was brought in and he became his own brand. I'm not saying the player they'll bring will be better than messi, but at least, that player will be great in his own way.

So just chill... Lol

Segedinho:
Don't you think many madrid fans helped in the increment of juve's fanbase.


Their lost becames Juve's gain.

They won others due to the arrival of hazard.

Barca are not looking for replacement and to some extent will give the fans a divided opinion.

Lol... Maybe na just virtual increment, and perhaps shirt sales.

So you think Laporta as barca president doesn't give barca fans hope for optimism?
You think the emergence of Pedri, fati also don't give barca hope for optimism.

This is a club that has cryuff, rivaldo, dinho and messi and you think that won't bring up another great just cos messi is gone...

Lol Bros, just calm down and watch

andrew444:
Ahhh ,these ones Na impossible nah

lol... You see am na.
Reason why I laugh wen people say barca fans will reduce considerably cos messi left. Like a whole barca which is a brand on its own oo

Segedinho:
This is man city.

What do you think would happen if they sign Messi



Man city has enjoy success and many people ain't really convince due to the expectation placed on them..

They do not really have a brand (a real goat to look out for)

Messi to man city will set their fan base way ahead of arsenal.

Lol... So arsenal is 5th biggest in England (abi Europe) while man city is on 11th? This is an arsenal who's a joke of a club seasons in seasons out, and man city dominating England like say na no man business.

Even if dem sign messi, it'll explode the fan base on man city (esp with pep still there) but we still don't know if it'll be ahead of arsenal (esp as messi might not give more than 3 seasons)

We'll watch and see sha.

But one thing I know is that, it takes years(as in years, before a top club loses fan excessively)

andrew444:
All this things wey you Dey talk go take years

I Kuku trust Barca

Exactly.. This and other factors will have to take place

1... Barca on a prolonged trophy drought (like prolonged oo)
2... Barca being a mid table team for a prolonged period of time
3... Barca not competing in Europe for a prolonged period of time

All these and many more before we will say their fans will drop considerably

Segedinho:
This is what Ronaldo did to juve fan base

When ronaldo leaves juve, I hope we'll be alive by then and still remember, we'll recheck weda this increment statistics you showed will reduce considerably...

Segedinho:
This 2021 fan base check.

Do you think Chelsea would been ahead of arsenal if not for the slump

Arsenal no too pass Chelsea with numerous gap when arsenal was on a high na. Even tho arsenal fans were bigger than Chelsea then, it wasn't that massive. Reason why with the astronomical success of Chelsea and arsenal simultaneous decline, Chelsea had to top us.

Compare man city fans with arsenal and see if dem pass us well. Mind you, Man city was a small club when arsenal was in their high. Let's see weda man city pass us even with all their astronomical success

Mangekyo:
The half brained idiot clearly said real Madrid and barca have more fam base than the entire EPL teams, try to go back to his first comment you'll see how dumb he sounded.

Man Utd have more fans than FCB and Madrid! It's not a debate. No matter how you look at it, 10-20% of real Madrid fans started supporting real because of Ronaldo! Most of which are supporters who switched from man Utd.


Thank God youve even admitted that some fans support clubs because of players. Now tell me, if Messi leaves barca today, wouldn't some of his real hardcore fans who are actually supporting barca because of him leave? Wouldn't it have an effect on the fanbase?

I support FCB because of Messi and I can't picture myself after he leaves continue supporting barca that is filled with lenglet, pique and other below average players! Milliona of fans are gonna do the same.

Also real Madrid and barca are the only two teams that got huge fanbase in Laliga. You can't compare it to EPL that even the average team in relegation got a lot of fans.

I started supporting Chelsea since I knew what they call football and it's gonna be till I die

Thank God you admitted to liking barca cos of messi but a Chelsea fan. Meaning you'd follow more of Chelsea matches averagely than barca. More so, averagely, una type wey dey support barca cos of messi (and get another club) no too plenty and those who just joined barca cos of messi (and barca is their first club) will tend to stay more with barca than following messi out cos they don't have any attachment to any other club aside barca.

I joined arsenal cos of my love for henry and Kanu, but since then my love for arsenal still dey cos of my attachment I had with them

Segedinho:
So out of the acclaimed total barca fan .

What percentage do you feels fits into your narrative as a true barca fan???


Can you or will you say arsenal has almost the same fan base as before??

I can't say what's the percentage is, but one thing is certain, a fan who has a club then supports another club because of a player is not a true fan of that club.

I won't say arsenal has almost same fan base has before but that doesn't mean arsenal fan base have depleted considerably cos of the nature of the club now.
Arsenal still has one of the biggest fans in Europe both as supporters and social media. The exit of Henry, bergkamp fabregas Wenger and all didn't reduce considerably its core followers

Segedinho:
The essence of trophy and perhaps good players in any given team.


If Aston villa could loose fan base and Man city could win more fans.

What stop barca from losing fans when the ship begins to sink...

Aston villa and Nottingham forest lost fan base just because dey got relegated on more occasions and became a mid table to low tier team(thus losing viewership).

Same can't be said of barca who are still one of the best teams in Spain, who most people became barca fan even before they heard of the name messi. Is it that same people you'd expect to leave barca just cos messi have left?

People who support barca cos of messi aren't proper barca fans and they're not even counted cos once situation bend, they'll just drift. We're talking about core barca fans who've been supporting barca before when messi and Ronaldo knew that they'll be facing each other in el classico. This are the pure barca fans not some wannabe messi fans or sort...

Mangekyo:
Ogbeni shut up there and stop talking trash.
Man Utd have the largest fan base in the world.

Most real Madrid fans you see today are man Utd fans who followed Ronaldo to real Madrid.
Same with juventus. Me im a Chelsea fan, but I support barca as my second favorite team because of Messi. There are so many people who support teams because of a player.

If Messi leaves barca, that would be the end it all. I along millions of people won't support them again, and it's fact.

Imagine supporting pique, lenglet, busquets, alba very useless team.

The average EPL team has more fans than 5 Laliga teams put together

Na wa oo..
So most Madrid fans are because of C.Ronaldo and not dem zidane, Beckham, figo and other galaticos?

So most barca fans are because of Messi and not dem rivaldo, Ronaldinho and other great players too?

You must really think football starts and end with Ronaldo and Messi

Aside Man u, I don't know of any club individually that has more fans than Madrid or barca, and even the man u is arguable sef.
Football followership didn't start and end in Nigeria or west Africa who strictly follow premier league oo

Can I ask you a question?
You said you support Chelsea (which is your main club). What/who made you love Chelsea that you're still supporting up till now through thick and thin?

Expert17:
London 2012 - Bronze

Rio 2016 - Bronze

Tokyo 2020 - Gold, the wait is over

Lol, I tell you. The progress was epic

LostMyZeal:
You dey type fullscap give unlimited guyy


Wait for his well-packaged BS filled response


It's coming

He doesn't disappoints at all

Odunharry:
TheLequte, Jodera, iamoyindamola if Sweden don't win this PK shootout, it will be very painful to them. Canada did well defending especially in the extra time..

finally Canada had their first football gold.
Sweden paid the price for starting the 2nd half poorly and allowing Canada back into the game.
In fact, they literally gave Canada the game at 2nd half. Since the equalizing, Canada just needed to hold it on from there

TheLequte:
Third time’s the charm

Lol.. We shall see na

TheLequte:
Na this coming season we go beat una

I heard that last 2 season, I heard that last season, now you're saying it diz coming season again...

You no dey tire

taiwoliu:
Is Buhari now calling the shots at Man Utd? Cos na him dem dey always trek for.

afrodoc2:
True. You have a point.

Can any Bible believing or juju wielding man explain why it took Sancho so long to join the team?

You don forget say na trek una players dey trek come

BlueRayDick:
Shebi Newcastle wan buy Willock now and spy360 say make we no sell ..... He say make we sell players wey people no dey interested in

Lol... Reason why we need to sell Willock.

But I get spy point, which was what even prompted the bolded..
Why would clubs not be interested in our players.
Someone like crystal palace suppose see first team give elneny
Someone like Southampton suppose see first team give Bellerin
Xhaka sef, team dey wey him go see first team too plenty wella.
Amn from his showing in arsenal suppose see team even if na Newcastle.
Even kolasinac too set(auction am to Holland club)

Abi, the club dey deceive us say dem drop dem for exit list?

izzou:
[color=royalblue] Aguero is a striker, and that's what he rooted his argument on.

As a striker, Aguero is better than Rooney. Which one is "footballer" again?

Give Aguero the ball and he would score. That's his duty, and not to defend, create chances, and all that stuff you typed there.

The guy's point was clear. Na you just dey dance around [/color]

Modern day football, even at that time in England needed that. Aguero is good cos he was a pure 9. Rooney was way better cos he brought that extra to his game

iamoyindamola:
Na by force to buy liabilties
Gone are those days fans will carry placards begging our players to sign extension
Now na to use juju pursue them comot emirates

Lol.. Go beg Toure agent make him link you to that shamman abeg, so that we go drive all these liabilities

But on a more serious note, it shows how low we've sunk. At least, even if top clubs no go buy, but clubs like Watford, Brighton, Leeds and so forth suppose dey look all these players na.
Abi na so we don die reach?

Spy360:
We can move the older players if we refuse to make a profit off them.

We dropped players up for sales. Aside Xhaka who had a strong interest from Roma, no other player had interest from other clubs sef. Bellerin had interest from inter, but then they haven't tabled any offer.
The rest, clubs just looked away..
At least, clubs go show interest, then na we go think weda we wan sell for profit or not.
But no club showed strong interest... Mehn!!
