Its really funny how folks get so sure and certain about Football results..Funny thing is these conclusions are based on records/history and Form..Football isn't like that especially these two legged ties,as they can be very very tricky.



Everyone thought Tottenham would be Tottenham and bottle it when push comes to shove as they usually do..But Yesterday they didn't,they held it out against a 2 time finalist in 3 years..Tottenham lacked experience and they r very young yet they got a very credible result against a more experienced Juve side..Juventus that we couldn't score a goal against last season when it mattered most.




I've seen folks here seeming so sure about our Tie against Chelsea,So sure PSG would knock Madrid out..I really really want it all to happen frankly but the truth is football isn't 1+1..Experience should teach us all that caution is needed until we win..Afterwards we can troll the hell out of the Shekpites and Madridridiots threads.


But for now Biko Caution.

Valencia now need 3 goals to qualify..EV should remove Pique for Minna Jare..This match is done and dusted..

Watching Gomes is pure Torture..This First half He's been really Poor..Phil should have started ahead of that cuunt since He can only play in the league and Cup anyway..I wonder y EV benched him self.




Valencia been using WWE tactics for Us though.

Malaga President last season: The scums of Catalunya would not smell the Laliga trophy this season.



Well Presi May Ogun kill you and long may your relegation continue.

omotayo9177:
Please don't Sack Conte now... He is doing the Lord's work over there in London...

With Chelsea's history of player gang up,From most indications this is looking like another one of those gang ups hinged on Conte's Rigid management style.



Conte isn't the bad one here..Those cuuunts appear not to be playing for him anymore meaning they can raise their game against Us if they so desire..Either way though,We ended Madrid's season domestically, it would be nice to end Chelsea's season entirely.

Happy Birthday to Neymar.

Pique finished the game with some discomfort in his knee..His recovery would be monitored and he is a doubt for the Chelsea game.


Umtiti is suspended for the game against Getafe also.


Leaving Terry Minna as our Fit Center Back..These Espanyol Cuuunts FFS! just dey batter our players left right and center.

We have arrived.


Hello Madrididiots!

LOL

He's back again..Just stay Injury Free abi kilode gan.

Samu was MOTM yesterday IMO.


The one thing Enrique did right.

One more goal



let's wrap this up Right now.

Isiterere:
More like an exhibition match.valencia playing defensively

I expected that..Valencia are missing 2-3 key players..They would want to get a favourable result..A draw or a 1 goal margin is all they are playing for.

I'm still stuck in traffic and these sites dont do justice to relating how we are playing..



How we fairing??..We should have scored by now naa..

Na Church you dey? What a day!

No dull am o..Na only Bible fit lift them comot this Golgotha.

They left like this.

Chelsea Fans entered the Man United thread like This.

Na God go punish clitoris, Caballero was never ds useless.

The Lannisters send their regards.

patrickmuf:
Lingard the most technically limited player in our team is given a free role, Martial is played out of position to accommodate that idiotic Lingard.
Martial should play from the left, Sanchez behind Lukaku and Lingard on the right...

Pogba should receive the hairdryer treatment, he's been passive and Matic has been erratic.

Jones and Smalling are really epileptic.

Idiotic,erratic,epileptic..These words sounds like synonyms to Matic..To b frank though Man United have been really *Matic* today.

codedguy1:
Manchester united is winning this game.

U no like Winners chapel.

Chelsea just signed Giroud..I must give it to them though..They've great strikers in their rank..Morata(Who sulks at even his choice of hair) and now Giroud..Oliver Fvcking Giroud..Oh This fuuckery is happening just before we play Chelsea in 3 weeks..



God of Babalola is alive.

Deulofeu joins Watford on Loan.



Bye Bye.


Wish you Luck.

naija01:
You say?

Iniesta is a nairalander I'm sure..He delivered a masterclass the moment I typed that.

Remove Iniesta and bring on Alcacer...We need an extra man up front.


Which kind wahala b this now.

dmcdad:
That is what happens when the going gets tough. Everyone would be looking for a scape goat, someone to hang. But when the going is good then you'll hear things like "I've always believed this board, this coach et al". That's the average human for you.

What really triggered the alarm bells from the outset was the demolishing we got from Madrid. It was just disastrous. Coupled with Neymar's departure. I mean, it was like the world was ending. But outta the ashes we came forth, with EV doing things his way, working himself nineteen-to-the-dozen. Few weeks into the season and praises were erupting from different corners. And fast forward 3/4 months later, it was praises from all nooks and crannies. I respect EV though for holding on to himself and his beliefs even when it seemed like there was nothing to hold on to.

The Barça we all know and love will be great again.

Força Barça!

The truth is the Board has made more terrible decisions in time past..I can't be arsed by Praising them too Much.



The Neymar departure spurred them into action and they really needed to make a Statement to make Barca a feared club again because no matter how much we sugarcoat it,The way Neymar departed suggested to the World that Maybe We aren't the buying Club anymore,Maybe we can't lure the best players anymore,Maybe we can't keep our best players anymore..So They had to Buy and Buy really wisely.


I commend them for not panicking all through the Transfer window though cos with the hullabaloo at the time one would have expected them to buy every dickk and harry in the market..Suddenly every player fit the bill for Barca,Suddenly Every player our rivals bought was a steal on Us..Theo Hernandez,Ceballos,(Seri)..Through it all they didn't panic and didn't pay ,200M for Phil..That's the only praise I have for the Board really..




Of course there's the Revenue part too,The returns financially are massive..However Who knows if its the Benedicto censure Motion(That was almost a success) spurred them into action.



All the same,This Board has made Terrible decisions more than the good ones.

dmcdad:
What Phil reminds me of is his movement and technique. Makimg sharp runs, asking for the ball and taking the game to the opponent. Mehn, it was a joy. What is baffled me most was that he played like he was groomed in La Masia. I mean, the understanding of his teammates' moves and all.

I so hope he stays fit. Thay has always been his bane.

Exactly.


He came just at the right moment..At 25,Playing the best football of his life at Livpool and in his Prime..So He slots in Effortlessly and can handle the pressure of the big money involved in his signing.



Too bad he can't be unleashed in the Champions league Yet..I'm just excited with the young players we are signing and seemingly building for the future..Phil at 25 is the Oldest of the Lot we bought..Umtiti,Mina,Dembele,Phil..When Arniaz and Alena gets promoted,It becomes a really young squad and the older players can then groom them to face the huge burden of playing for Barca.

hinohsend:
Dembele is really underrated by many on this board .

At Barca, A man get what he earns when he earns it.



It doesn't matter if he was some Lord or the best wherever he was..When he wears the blue and red stripped He has to Earn His Respect.

The picture that made Cules scared at the beginning of the season..Messi looking at Madrid players and Fans as they celebrated the Supercopa..The Bernabeu couldn't be noisier..They totally dismantled us and Messi looked dejected-----Was He?


Maybe That was the point that turned our season around..Maybe that was the Point He decided to sign a new Deal..Maybe that was the point he got angry and activated Beast mode...We never know..All we know is This picture could be the best picture taken at the end of the season.

dmcdad:
You're right about Chelsea raising their game against us, but you'll also agree this Chelsea is far from the spirited Chelsea of yester years.

Ahswear, them go collect. This season is like a dream to me. Everything ain't real. I mean, it wasn't supposed to be this rosy, was it? We were meant to be in crisis, no?

On a side note though, if there were any part of me that still missed Neyboi, I'd say it ended seeing Coutinho play. His runs and movements are all reminiscent of Neyboi. There was always a roaring crescendo when he had the ball. Mehn, even me sef don dey fear Barça.

I really want Winter to come for Chelsea though..I look.forward to it..




Football is a very funny game really,So unpredictable and the sale of Neymar has made us stronger..I dont know if I should say Phil reminding You of Neymar is a good thing or bad thing cos Neymar mostly used Jordi Alba as a decoy and mostly ignored Jordi..I hope Phil doesn't do that,I hope He forms a fantastic partnership with Jordi..Aside that Bruv I couldn't be more excited about Phil honestly..All We can do is pray He gets very lucky with Injuries.

The Irony of Life is that we get too concerned and worried about the Future that we find it difficult to appreciate and savour what we have now.




A Golden Generation.
