This is what happens when you allow evil to grow. when this yahoo of a thing started everybody was cool with it, we celebrated and sang praises of them, because they where only duping white men. white men became cautious and they no longer had it easy, they all began to engage in all manner of unthinkable, and fetish things. We still said nothing and branded it yahoo++, its not our business since they where only using runs babes to plus up... but now nobody is safe. not your innocent little sister, not your wife, not your daughter, not even your mum... you all can enjoy the monsters you created.

I remember very well how the sympathizers of yahoo boys defend them vehemently on those threads. Giving what ever excuse they could think of; from
"yahoo boys are only taking back what the white man stole" to "our politicians are thieves so it justifies what the yahoo boys are doing " to outrightly calling anyone who dare speaks against yahoo yahoo a hater.

Nigerians are a people who specialize in making excuses for criminals.

Snapchat:
Cameroon is good, Cameroon is better...with all these hype, why them never score?

They are not as good as they are being advertised here, trust me. The Super falcons cede possession to them so they kept passing the ball around deep in their half. They don't look dangerous going forward.

Nigerians are really good at exaggerations.

Yohh:
Sincerely, it won't be fair if Nigeria win this match even on penalty

Whoever scores more goals in normal time or misses the fewest penalties during shootout wins a game of football.

That's the only fair thing in football.

This Swedish coach is just stifling these girls natural football instincts with his so called tactics. The man has them playing like underdogs with his deep pressing system, ceding possession to the Cameroonians.

LMAO

If you don't what a joke Christianity has become in this country then I pity you.

Am I exaggerating if I say Chukwueze is the biggest talent Nigeria has produced since Mikel?

I absolutely love the arrogance with which Chukwueze plays the game. The young man believes he belongs in the the very top level and plays with no fear.

An exciting talent.

Joebie:
Watching

Yeah, same here. He just missed a one on one. His movement have been top notch though.

Samuel Chukwueze starting for Villarreal.

how can you guys say you can't rate a coach base in trophies,this was the stupid mentality wengay put in our heads.
No wonder we can't compete for anything,imagine yourself as a coach and you telling your players play good football I don't mind trophies.
No wonder arsenal and spurs have same thing in common, bottle up a strong position.
No wonder someone was having orgasm on Napoli that will go trophy less.

I see you still haven't let this issue go. You really have to learn to respect other people's opinions and views on things. Some just aren't crazed about trophies and if they were they could easily switch and start supporting the Bayerns, Juves, PSG, and Man Citys of this world.

Respect people's opinions even if they differ to yours.

3 at the back and Ozil on the bench. No Lacazette. Interesting line up.

Chelsea had Costa hazard(add inflation and estimate his current price) Fabregas Willian pedro add their cost to what chelsea has spent in the last 3 years and give us account

TBH, Man city and Chelsea are more or less the same in this regard. Chelsea fans really don't have any moral grounds to point fingers at Man city; both clubs spent a truck load of cash to assemble their squads. Man Utd too. Fair play to the former two though, they are having/had value for their money.

sod09:
I'm not praising pep too, but Pochettino and Klopp are nothing spectacular if Ranieri can win the league with 5m oldies in Leicester

That Ranieri adventure at Leicester is an outlier and not the norm. It's a freak event; something that happens once in a lifetime. You cannot judge coaches based on that.

sod09:
has he won any trophy
Btw, spurs spent alot too only this season he didn't buy

I'm not one to criticize a manager for not winning a trophy. The uneven playing field in football finances these days means trophies shouldn't be the only yardstick to measure success. Pep in his first season at City went trophiless. He then splashed the cash and poached Walker, Mendy, Bernardo etc. By so doing, he didn't only strengthen his team, he significantly weakened teams like Spurs, Monaco etc. You literally can't compete with clubs that are sponsored by rich countries.

I'm sorry, I'm not gonna join the bandwagon and praise Pep for winning trophies (to me, he basically bought them) while downplaying the great jobs guys like Poch and Jardim have done or are doing.

That's just my view anyway. Feel free to disagree.

sod09:
Moyes did it for Everton, nothing spectacular
Wengay did it too when we were building Emirates

That Moyes and Wenger did it then doesn't make it any less impressive. Moyes and Wenger received praises then and Poch deserves praises now. He's literally up against five clubs that have far more resources that him and he's standing his ground.

Dude is the real MVP

Talking about great coaches, it's criminal how Poch doesn't get much praises. I mean what the guy is doing at Spurs is nothing short of a miracle. He's had a net spent of +26 million pounds over the past few years and Spurs wage bill is about similar to Leicester and Everton. Didn't even buy any player in the last window and his team haven't played at "home" for about 18 months now.

He's punching well above his weight and he should get more praises than Pep, whose team is where it should be on the basis of money spent in transfers and wage bill.

Bimffo:
Oh you want to compare it to?

Ederson 40M

Walker 53M

Laporte 65M

Mendy 57M

Stones 55M

Sane 51M

Mahrez 68M

Gundogan 27M

Jesus 32M

Silva Bernado 50M

Danilo 30M

Nolito 19M




From July 2016 to August 2018, Pep has spent more than 550M on players. In 2 Years o.

Added to a team that already has

De Bruyne 50M

David Silva 25M (2010, about 40-50M now with football inflation)

Sterling 50M

Fernandinho 34M

Aguero 34M (2011)

As far as I am concerned, ref 3 Chelsea 1

You really are deluded. Spurs could have easily won that match by 7 goals. And I hate Spurs.

Chelsea are absolutely lucky to be just 3 goal down. It could have easily been 6-7 and I'm not exaggerating.

Interesting arguments from both sides. But history has shown that Pep only wins trophy when he has by far the best team/squad in a competition. He has never won a trophy with an underdog or even a team that is just about equal with the other rivals. Mourinho (I hate the man) has done it with Porto and Inter.

Pep won the Champions League with Barcelona because he had the greatest player of all time at his peak playing for him. Along with two supremely talented midfielders, all in their peaks, who would be mentioned amongst the greats in the future. He was handed a treble winning Bayern team but couldn't win the champions league on three occasions. Obviously because he kept coming across equal or slightly better teams.

Pelegrini handed him a title winning Man city team that was expensively assembled at that time but he needed to spend close to half a billion pounds on the same team to win the league the next season. He finished 3rd in the first season when his squad was about equal (if not better) to 2 or 3 others in the league.

Fair play to him he has a system that works and he usually identifies players, most times very expensive ones, to fit in. But let's be honest, he is more like a driver who wins a car race only when he is given the fastest car.

Expect him not to win the Champions League again this season because at least 2 clubs (Juventus, Barcelona) have squads that are more or less equal to city's.

Very true about the North. You'll see a very beautiful girl willing to settle down with a guy that doesn't really have much. I mean really really beautiful, well mannered girls oooh.

EEGA:
Omeruo is good but lacks pace, they say he neutralised Griezmann against Atlethico but failed to cope with Percy Tau's pace.

The difference b/w Balogun and Omeruo is that Balogun covers up his lack of pace with excellent positioning and intelligence coupled with his superb ability to read the game.

Balogun is deceptively fast though. Top 10 in the EPL at the moment.

Well, you'll have to give it to the Ugandans. They are a decent side, very difficult to break down and it's easy to see why they've qualified for AFCON with a game to spare.

A welcome addiction to AFCON.

phamarsenal:
The young boys, doing well so far am really impressed wit dem. Agu has bn quite confident on d ball, we jst need a goal to shw for all d hard work.

True.

Nice game. Good passing and movements from our boys. Great crowd. Only downside is poor coverage (camera angles). I intend to enjoy the second half notwithstanding.

The monikers that were fiercely defending yahoo yahoo on a particular thread sometime ago are no where to be seen on this one. They are probably just reading and feeling really stupid right now.

Also the dumbos on nairaland (and off it) who make it a duty to broke shame hardworking young men who are making an honest living should cover their faces in shame. Y'all have contributed to a failed society and at the moment even you are not safe.

Seems as a people we only learn things the hard way. SMH.

DAVE41:
the only good news we here from the north

Which good news do you hear form the south, LMAO

ChrisKels:
Something tells me this match is fixed. Fear the romance between Rohr and Baxter is playing out here

Are the linesmen also included in that romance

comodo:
The altitude is not good my bro. Just thin layer of oxygen. So its a kind of energy conservation method. Move more u get burnt out immediately. Hope Roahr knows when to make changes

Yeah, fair point. Conserve energy as long as possible.

somehow:
Nothing like poor officiating, it was an offside goal.

Yeah, you do know your football

Why has Rohr decided to cede possession to the South Africans. I mean we have the better players. Why are we playing like the underdog?

Mickael2:
Let me make my position clear.

First of all, I am not sure I know what Iheanacho is doing in this game if Iwobi has to come and press the backline for him.

Iwobi is not a controller, I already said it before. He seems to think he is a wing forward pressing the backline. Sit in the middle and slow the game down, we are winning.

Our defence has not been properly screened at all. The discipline of the two DMFs are just awful, why was Ogu jogging back for that goal? Run man, run!

Still on still, I hope Rohr's luck pays off again, because if not for an own goal we should be behind

If not for poor officiating and wrong call from the linesman, we should be 2-1 up.
