it was a very long dragging here then. them plenty oooo.
shamelessly wishing Messi (NOT ARGENTINA) wins. If Messi was playing for Ghana or Cameroon or even South Africa these shameless lots will pray they trounce Nigeria too.

Not a single Madrid fans supported or wished Portugal well above Nigeria.

thank God the internet never forgets
Even reading through comments earlier I read where someone was comparing supporting clubs to supporting country as the same, saying it's hypocritical to support a foreign club and claim one can't support a foreign country and I'm like how??

I mean we choose our clubs, but we don't choose our country. Our country chose us, some comparing those two is just way way off. They is a reason one can play for 1000 different clubs in different country and nobody will raise an eyelid, but a player is officially meant to play for one country (weda he likes it or not). Comparing those two just to give an excuse why you should support another country over your own country is one of the lowest low in support of something. Like you said, if messi was a Cameroonian or Ghanian, they would even support his country at afcon over Nigeria and another silly ready made excuse would be available

People dey sha

NB: I'm not against supporting any other footballing country of your choice in tournaments or matches. Far from it.
But supporting a country over your birth country especially wen you're not affiliated in anyway to that footballing country is just weird

Lol..We know these ones can beat you na on a good day. The bone of contention is teams that can beat you mercilessly...
Lol..
Let's start with teams at our backyard.

Chelsea once beat us 6-0, 4-1 and all
Liverpool gave us series of 5-1s then(even as recent as Emery)

And some others.

Let's play these teams first and see how we fare before thinking of Bayern and PSG

But you also should acknowledge the fact that we are hard to score against unlike before. Even with our bad run of form this season, we were the least conceded side after man city prior our meeting with Leeds.

If we would have gotten that bad run of form under Emery or Wenger, at least we would have gotten 55 goals against us

No I wouldn't.

Nobody has said categorically that in a match between Argentina and Super Eagles, they would support Argentina. No.

In a world cup I would support both the Super Eagles and Argentina.
I have also supported Brazil and Spain at some points in my life.

But in a head to head between Super Eagles and any country, I support the Super Eagles 247.

It is Uscable that has been conjuring this falsehood since 2014 about people supporting Argentina to beat Nigeria.
Well, Jpmoriarty says so that's was why I brought up the issue.

But for the others you wrote up there, I totally agree with it

Nothing was fixed. Those teams that used to beat you mercilessly got poorer. Face Bayern or PSG to confirm this..
Lol... Sister, we aren't dragging for league yet na. And don't know whether you're overestimating us or you believe we're hyping ourselves that you are saying let's face Bayern, PSG and all.

It's little steps, let's just face the Tottenham, Everton Chelsea and Manchester city to see how we have come instead of thinking about Bayern and PSG to confirm grin

William was once Chelsea's best. Something in Arsenal that makes decent players look so poor..
Lol...
The time willian was Chelsea best player was when all Chelsea best players was at their worst form. So was he really their best player or he just maintained his average form while others were very below standard?
It's just like an exam where the highest is 49% and you're telling me the person who scored the 49% is brilliant grin

Willian was never decent, 36 total premier league goals as a starter and winger for over 5yrs in a top team is below par and never decent

Never mind all these bl00dy hypocrites.

No one can tell me they have ever expected Nigeria to win the world cup.

For the AFCON yes, we should always expect to win and support the Super Eagles.

But for the world cup every Nigerian supports the Super Eagles and as well have one super power which they support to win; from Spain to Argentina to Germany to Brazil.

Anyone who says otherwise is a liar and a pretender.
This is true...
Almost all fans does that, but you want to say that if Nigeria were to play with any of your supporting football power country say Spain, you would support Spain over Nigeria?

I dont know why this is bothering Madrid fanboyz so much. Y'all can support whatever country you want. I'm sure some of you supports Ronaldo's Portugal to go all the way. Why shouldn't Barca fans support Messi's Argentina to go all the way too? huh tongue

This is absolute hypocrisy for me. sad shocked
Firstly, I'm not a Madrid fan, but then that's by the way.

And I've not seen anyone that supports Portugal "solely" cos of Ronaldo but you are the 2nd person I've seen supporting Argentina over Nigeria and I find it weird.
That's why I brought up the Croatian team as example. Maybe perhaps, you've a root In Argentina cos I dont see the rationale behind it (just because messi is there). If Argentina is your 2nd footballing team, that's wholly understandable, but over Nigeria??
Weird!!

Well, you brought it up yourself. I can support Nigeria in Africa Cup of Nations but World Cup is a different ball game. You've got to be realistic
on a purely football fan, did you see or can you bet on Croatia reaching the final or last 4 at the last world cup?

kudos to arteta for fixing our defense. now we longer concede cheap goals like before
Yeah... Kudos to him. Good thing is that the Wenger days of big teams hammering us 6-0 and 8-2 is now a distant memory.
We just need to click in our attack and everything will be awesome.
One thing I notice is, no matter how Luiz disappoints, sometimes (red card, needless fouls or pk), he's still an integral part to that defence and to Arteta's style of play. He has all the attributes and leadership qualities for the manager's style of play.

I just hopes Arteta works on his attack movement and system more

Yes.. Nelson is now with the U23. He even scored for them recently. Only God understand his situation.


Bro.. yesterday's match was quite interesting. Arteta was spot on with the personnel. You remember I told you our winning that game depends on how sharp Auba is and the guy delivered. Bro... I think Odegaard is made for arsenal. He slot seamlessly yesterday. That Bellerin goal eh... saka 's marauding run, Auba 's chipped cross, ESR holding off his marker and Ceballos ' delicious nutmeg grin The last time I saw something like that was during Wenger's era.
saka was really a boss on Sunday. Odegaard hasnt ruled out his future away from Madrid unlike ceballos who is keen on playing for Madrid, so if this loan is successful, arsenal might push harder for a deal to materialize. Only thing is that I think Madrid consider him as a future of their club and not zidane.

I just hope we see more of this same 11, but the only thing is that I think the team that was set out on Sunday was because of an eye on Europa league. Else this team really complement the strength of Auba

And you are opposing the fool tag. In what dictionary does less mean nothing? In yours?

A team starts the season roughly like City and they start conceding less goals, will they not pick clean sheets along the line. When you now play 23 matches and concede just 14 goals, have you not kept clean sheets like that.

To think you're accusing people of not understanding English. You have not opposed any of my analysis with logic, just dancing around displaying your folly with your partner. I'm weak!
You're too poor with English understanding.
Just contradicting yourself

that proverb only works if humans are mindless zombie

Football has seasons, it's german tactics that works today, It was italian years ago, pirlo got juventus job because he wanted to mix a hybrid of italian and foreign tactics in his game at juventus grin the future of football

I think exposure helps, go around, try different leagues, learn new things and build your pattern, people like pep and klopp will soon fade like mourinho, cause football is evolving everyday

That's why I liked tuchel, he had variations, he was unpredictable and he arranges his teams that way.
what the proverb means is that a good leader can move his teams to places more than where they think they can't even reach and a bad leader can't do zilch even with the best of resources.

A team of world class without any guide against a team of good players with a very very great and tactical guide? The latter will always always win

if pep and city are that good, why haven't they been winning champions league back to back

I don't rate zidane cause all his victories were fortunate cheesy but pep's barca, that was real dominance, why couldn't he replicate that at bayern or with city?

Messi is the answer, his pattern was ideal for messi and messi was ideal for him
Cos the team he's up against are not coachless. They are coached by experienced and good coach and the players aren't substandard and are professionals.

Even his barca team of messi never carried champions league back to back

Lol, calm down bro.
Me and some guys were having this conversation, so I decided to post it here.
Some people believe pep can use Sheffield to win world XI if world XI is coached by an amateur.
No matter how, an amateur is an amateur. In this case, talent might shine through for the world 11.

But saying Pep's city against world 11 that's coachless?

I doubt world 11 will win.
Let it be the prime barca of 2008-2011 against coachless world 11. I guess they might not even have a sniff of the ball sef

Oga this current Sheffield team coached by pep can win a coachless team of maradona, dinho, pele, ronaldo,cristiano, messi, baressi, maldini and the rest? Do you agree?
I don't know about Sheffield...
But the one I countered was you saying Pep's city can't win a coachless world best side.

If you like call, messi, Ronaldo( both Portuguese and Brazilian one), neymar and maradona etc, if they're coached or managed by otunba Daniels or jide kosoko, the kind flogging dem go collect for pep city hand eh....


Did you read how Pep's barca B with busquets, Pedro, messi etc, walloped barca A of ronaldinho, deco and eto'o with rijkaard as their coach when they played against each other?

I bet you don't know. Just try and read it up

This is where you illiteracy jumps out. That was a comparison, that was not a statement to equate both terms. Unlike you, I think and I know clean sheets is not equal to number of goals conceded. Chelsea conceded only 15 goals back, does it mean that Cech had only 15 clean sheets back then?

You were comparing the number of goals two defenders in separate leagues have conceded and I told you that you’re simply talking about clean sheets too.

~4 team has at least 9 clean sheets already this season, you and Jodera should help me check if any of them has conceded more goals than Liverpool.

AGAIN, THE MORE YOU CONCEDE THE LESS CLEAN SHEETS YOU HAVE. This is pretty basic!

That's why I wanted xhaka alone as DM
Goals they plenty for Leeds match
Lol... I think the personnel that started was really perfect.

Two cb that are so good from transitioning passes from back to attacks
Ceballos too was good at initiating attacks and giving one touch passes.

So it was as if we played 1 DM with xhaka, but ceballos helps in defence too why building ball from back.

The first half was great and I wish the cb pairings should be what we should be using going forward till Mari returns
