Lol, FMH/NMA are yet to realize that no form injustice or oppression last forever. Sooner or later they come to an end. Much more powerful oppressors in the past had seen their reigns come to end and have since been cosigned to the dark chapter of history. FMH/NMA is not going to be an exception.

My mum is an embodiment of luv,and that saw her through. now they all look up to her,even her ex regretted. we r talking abt a bro,who is in d capacity to help hundreds grow n actually does dt to others including wife's siblings. wtf

This your entitlement attitude is really strong. Just kept talking about someone else's money like he owes you. The sooner you realize that your brother doesn't owe you anything the better for you. The only people he owes something or is responsible for are his wife and children.
That's the cold facts about life. Better get used to it.

Dem sabi their mate...I can even poo here n nothing will happen....abeg no dey grade us join this boiz

I heard Abrahamovich is now an Israeli.
Rumor has it that he intends to divert his attention from Chelsea to Macabbi Tel Aviv.

Back to mid table where you rightfully belong with the likes of Everton and West Ham. You'll still be better than Palace though, and Fulham too, so cheer up bro, it isn't all doom and gloom.

patrickmuf:
Hehehe you dey call Arsenal nonentities for their own thread, no let their security man, KevinDein catch you oh!

LMAO at security man.

patrickmuf:
At this point, Spurs is not your mate, you should be keeping tabs on Burnley, Everton, Chelsea and the likes...

You are poor at this trolling thing. Enroll for more lessons.

MRTA7:
Fabinho would have been a great option for both midfield and right back though. I'm not convinced by Fred at all but make we siddon dey look and see how the team performs. Na here we dey when we dey sign all these players and them still no perform for us.

Fabinho is a fantastic signing for Liverpool. Dude would easily improve any of the top 6 team. Have to give big props to the Liverpool recruitment team though; Salah, Mane, Firmino, Keita, Virgil, and now Fabinho. Rumor is Fekir is next.

Now whether Klopp can actually win a final with this fantastic set of players is a different story.

Fabinho to Liverpool, what a coup.

Eruditor:
iPo that wanted Benitez.

I keep stressing it but people don’t listen. It is very difficult to manage egos. The reason Zidane is succeeding is because as a player he was better than every one of his players now so they respect him. It is the same reason players like Neymar would want to work with Pep - for his achievements as a manager and the style he plays.

Unai will achieve great things with players who listen to him because he is a good coach and he understands tactics. People should stop watching themselves and reporting fake stats and stories. Watch football and learn.

Unai Emery's record speaks for it self. Won trophies at a second tier club (Seville) and has won trophies with an enormously wealthy and talented PSG (he's 46 years old and has won 10 trophies already; 10 more than Poch and 7 more than Klopp). I'm quite optimistic he'll do very well at Arsenal.

iPopAlomo:
As in... kept raving about Fraudiola... for the record... I'm not on Unai Emery's bandwagon...

Good for you

Abrahamovich has been granted Israeli citizenship as he has been denied visa into the UK.

The end of Chelsea?

ykalhaji:
Ebuehi--- is... That one is dicey. He is the one that will make Rohr's selection really difficult.

Nothing difficult with regards to Ebuehi. He should be on the squad, easily.

kcjazz:
Guys read an insightful interview of Emery. Just shortly after PSG. Shows his mind and shape of things to come
http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2018/unai-emery-what-am-i-missing-making-my-masterpieces-real-masterpieces-and-making-them-my-own/

Excellent read.

He kept stressing how unappreciated his work was at PSG citing the lack of competition in ligue 1 as a reason why it's difficult for his team to perform well in the Champions League. Basically, the weak teams in ligue 1 do not provide stiff enough opposition and hence his players suffered from complacency which harmed them in the Champions League. This obviously won't be a problem in the very competitive EPL.

He also seem obsess with Pep Guardiola.

Iheanacho not really having the best of games. Can't blame him though, that pitch mehnnnn

Seriously, Lokosa is proving that his being the NFPL highest goal scorer isn't a fluke

Him and Simy are gonna give the coach selection headache which is good

Icon4s:
Him just dey shine. Na his typical kind of pitch be this. Good game from him.

Haha, he's feeling at home.

Well worked free kick

This Lokosa sha.

Nice save Uzoho

Hello hater, rat poison is available at a cheap rate

Yeah, the world would be so much better without the likes of Ramos. Send it to him

Outstanding example to the young ones.

Cheats get rewarded in life. Well done Sergio.

Zidane is not even half the coach Pep is

Facts

obonujoker:
Guy forget...Zidane is better than pep for the past 3 years.... He also won the league last year, hope you remember?? Do you know how many times Zidane rotated his team this season?? Do you know how many matches Ronaldo missed??

UCL is the biggest competition in a season... If according to league games, we may as well say Juve is better than Madrid or Icardi is better than Suarez or Ronaldo na....

Zidane is not better than Pep. Finishing 17 points behind Barcelona and 7 or 8 points behind Athletico, only winning the Champions League because refereeing goes his way, I'm sorry, I rate few other managers ahead of him.

BlackManta:
And he won golden boot, la liga player of the year, la liga golden boot etc.

Salah won PFA player of the year, EPL golden boot, BBC player of the year etc.

For me a 38 game competition matters more than a 13 game knockout competition.

It's not easy to be consistent across 38 games.

But las las world cup would be the ultimate decider.

At the emboldened, I have been saying that on several threads. The league is by far a better indicator of a good team or player or a coach. In domestic leagues, teams play a lot of matches and everyone plays everyone hence the luck factor, from favorable draws, refs errors, injury to oppositions players etc, is eliminated.

That's why I rate Messi ahead of Ronaldo and even though Zidane has won the Champions League three times in a row now he's still inferior to Pep. In fact, I rate a couple of other managers ahead of him.

MoR2:

so because pep (no disrespect to the prof) went to shine in burndisleague down he is now better than Zizou UCL 3times back2back3peat

and sure if Low wins the world cup again, pep will still be better than him to you.

Pep didn't cross my mind when I was making that comment. I'm not even a big fan of his. I was just giving a different perspective to the discussion

BuddhaPalm:
Your wife is a "fair-weather friend", she's there when you are winning.

If you encounter any physical or financial misfortune, her attitude towards you will change.

Your work is what will feed you till the end of your days, and it is FAR more important than any woman.

As depressing as this sounds this is the sad reality of present day marriages

obonujoker:
UCL is the biggest tournament in a season bro, except maybe for a world cup year... It has always been like that safe a few times, which Messi started in 2010...

Says who

Is Roma better than Juventus?
Is Liverpool better than Man city?
Is Madrid better than Barça?

All the teams in the left went further in the Champions League than those on the right but they all finished much lower in their respective leagues.

The Champions League is not the right index to judge which team or player is the best. Luck plays too much of a role in determining the winner.

Neymar1095:
If you don’t rate Zidane after winning 3 UCL
trophy’s on a bounce without a big name signing,
but you rate Mourinho that spent £300million to
go trophyless, then your stupidity is like peak, it's in you.

The league is a better indicator of whether a coach is good or not. 38 games played and everyone plays everyone. Completely eliminates or at least minimizes luck from refereeing errors, favorable draws, injuries to oppositions players etc.

obonujoker:
You are just a scared barcalomessi fan who is concerned and worried that since Real Madrid won the UCL, Ronaldo is the favourite, having won his 7th UCL golden boot... buh fret not, this is world cup year, perhaps if Messi wins the world cup, then he'd win it....

I'm not a Barcelona fan BTW.

But my post is clear, why should Ronaldo be favorite for the ballon d'or simply because he wins a short tournament that is more often than not decided by a lot non football factors.

Where is it written that the winner of the Champions League should produce the ballon d'or winner?
