I'm still wondering why the FA cup has to be played on weekends, why not during the week like the EFL cup, its the weekends FA cup matches that's making the EPL matches congested. They really need to do a review of all the competition.

^^^^ Elamps baba, shey na the amount dey pain you abi na because he go affect Wayne chances??

60M is a okay for Greizman in this crazy transfer market.

Congratulations diggz, may blessing and joy follow her.

I'm speechless. we should have won this match.

This is getting too much, haba these refs definitely have a plan against us, na only us.

I suggest you steer clear of senseless criticism if you can't apply your brain...The club is over $300m in debt...Brexit drove it up to that number which meant we were over $290m in debt, the boards erratic spending is partly responsible for this...We have the highest wage bill in probably Europe yet we are languishing in Europa, the board is solely responsible, they have the power to negotiate contracts as well as hiring good scouts that bring quality players, so far they have been lackluster in their duties...Capishce?

Ok sir.

How brexit vote take concern signing of players?
Smhs for some people.

Patrice Evra claims Paul Scholes was the only Manchester
United player who never suffered Sir Alex Ferguson's
'hairdryer' treatment.

Mark Hughes referred to Ferguson's volcanic dressing room
eruptions as the 'hairdryer' in the 90s and the tag successfully stuck, with The Sun commemorating the Scot's retirement by splashing with a United hairdryer hung up.

Scholes, who turned 42 on Wednesday, was wished a happy
birthday by former teammate Evra on Instagram.
"Happy birthday legend!!! Simply the best midfielder on
planet!!!" Evra wrote. "The only players never get the hairdryer
from the boss. Soo lucky. I love this game hahahaahahah."

Rio Ferdinand admitted as far back as 2007 that Scholes was the only United player who did not face Ferguson's wrath.
"Anyone who says they've not been shouted at other than
Paul is probably lying," Ferdinand said. "He can't be shouted
at, he's too good to be shouted at. He doesn't make
mistakes. He's just a great player."

Ferguson last week claimed he only used the 'hairdryer' six
times during his 26-and-a-half year reign at United.
"There was a lot of myth about it. It happened about half a
dozen times in 27 years and the players will tell you that," he
said.
"The problem for me was if a player answered me back, I
headed towards them. That was my problem.

"Jock Stein always said to me, 'Leave it until Monday to talk
to them,' but I said I couldn't wait until Monday. So, on a
Saturday after the game, I told them exactly how I felt,
because we had trained at a level all week that I expected to
win every game.

"I told them exactly the truth and the truth works. All the
players understood that and it was never held against me.
Then the next day it is pushed aside and I'm prepared to win
again. I never ruled by fear.

"Name a Manchester United team that played with fear. My
job was to get a positive attitude into that team, for them to
express themselves, never give in and enjoy playing for the
club. That is sacrosanct."

Anybody that compares Pique and Boateng to Paolo Maldini should be flogged.
Paolo Maldini is considered one of the greatest defender of all time.
Make una find another logic to trap Dayo abeg, this one no fit work.

HHave you been discharged

What is this one saying?

what is the meaning of this.

Mourinho don dey mad small small.

Ibime:
Hmmmm, you might have got me on that! I actually meant league and Europe but since you quoted me word for word, I can't argue with it.

You have my email, do the needful.

Tiri gbosa for you.

Airmark oya do the needful.

Chelseafan1:
OK, let's exonerate Mourinho of all blames, happy now?

Whatever makes you happy bro.
Happy Sunday.

Chelseafan1:
It wasn't about tactics alone o, get ur facts right.
Chelsea got into a big mess last season.
Mou had a hand in all of it.

Bros, there's no way you will blame Mourinho for Hazard poor form last season and continue to hype Hazard of 2014/2015 without giving Mourinho the due accolade he deserves just like you are giving Conte right now.

Pray tell, if by next season you guys start having issues and Hazard repeats his 2014/2015 debacle again, Will you blame the same Conte that's bringing out the best in him now as a bad coach and tactless?

Bimffo:
I am not blaming Mou for Hazard's form last season, ( He just only goofed when he said Hazard was better than Ronaldo that particular season) and I am also not giving him the credit for 14 goals and how many assists? When Hazard as a young boy did better than that!

Happy sunday.

I'm not talking about you but those who were blaming Mourinho for Hazard poor debacle last season forgetting what the same Hazard did under Mourinho the season before.

Happy Sunday.

eph12:
Pay close attention to the bolded

In terms of achievement Kloop does not even have half of what Mourinho has so why should I say Kloop is better? I am talking about style tactics that could stand the test of time and outlast you.

Even Chelsea fans don't like Mourinho anymore so why should I?

Chelsea fans don't like Mourinho anymore because they forget things easily.

Chelseafan1:
You don't know what you are saying, Mou managed him for 3 seasons out of 4, one of great, the other was abysmal and he got sacked in the process, who should we now blame?

When he did well, we praised him, didn't we?

No, you didn't. You guys are praising Hazard for 2014/2015 season while pinning 2015/2016 on Mourinho. If it was Mourinho tactics that made Hazard poor in 2015/2016, what made him spectacular in 2014/2015?

Bimffo:
What I am saying is, Which level was he in 2014/2015? He already did greater things than that before that season! His season at Lille is a confirmation. Mourinho didn't do anything special to him.

Its just like we should give credit to the Manager of Nice now for bringing Balotelli to his current level, when we know he was already reached that level before he dreamt of playin in France.

Stop trying to dance around the truth, Why hasn't Hazard being able to reach the height he was at Lille since be joined CFC until Mourinho came and made him being mentioned among the best in the world?

While Hazard was at Lille, he was just a kid with potentials, Mourinho took him to another level that even FIFA recognised him.

In all Hazard career from his days in Lille, when was he ranked among the best in the world and who was the manager then?

To put my argument into perspective to you, some of you guys were blaming Mourinho for last season Hazard debacle but go ahead to use 2014/2015 season to hype him while still berating Mourinho.

Fact says that Hazard best season in EPL is 2014/2015 season, whether he will surpass that or not this season is yet to be seen.

Chelseafan1:
What are you saying sef, Mou was in charge last season which is 2015/2016, he was in charge too, 2013/2014......Mou managed Hazard for 3 good seasons.

This is 2016/2017, and Conte (anoda manager) is bringing the best outta him, he has 7 goals already, just 2 behind the highest goal scorer.

Ogbeni why ain't you using the 2013/2014 and 2015/2016 season to hype Hazard? Hazard best season in CFC is 2014/2015 season and your manager is Mourinho. If you won't give him the due accolade he deserve for bringing out the best in him then don't criticise him for last season poor Hazard form. I have made my point.

Chelseafan1:
Wait, is the bolded what you are fighting for, if Yes, OK, Mourinho comman collect your award for making Hazard win the PFA, just like Guardiola turned Messi into what he is today, Mou made Hazard win the PFA....Kudos to him.






Smh

Lol, it was Mourinho defensive approach that made Hazard lose form last season because he was asked to always track back and help the defence.

Meanwhile in 2014/2015 season, it was Hazard extraordinary talent that made him win the PFA while still tracking back to help the defence.

Continue in your self hypocrisy. Whenever you want to hype Hazard kindly remove the 2014/2015 season since that's what you guys do for Mourinho.

Peace.

Bimffo:
He won the Best player in Ligue 1 and Mourinho was not there. The level Hazard was in 2014/2015 was his normal level. Mourinho didn't play any part!

Mourinho wanted to Upgrade him to Ronaldo's stage without passing through the Bale and Neymar's stage and he goofed.

You don't get it, do you? Some of you guys are blaming Mourinho (not necessarily you) for Hazard poor performance last season not forgetting that it was under the same Mourinho that Hazard had his best season in a blue shirt.

Normal level you say, why wasn't Hazard able to achieve the level he achieved in 2014/2015 season since he has been at CFC. Why didn't other manager bring him to the level he was in 2014/2015 to win the PFA?

Chelseafan1:
Lol, u mean the Hazard that has been a star player, winning series of awards from Lille?

How do you guys reason seriously? Hazard was playing in the ligue 1 and winning his series of award in ligue 1 where truly he was above those plying their trade there, hell we can even say he was in an inferior league that doesn't mean that Hazard doesn't have the talent.

2014/2015 season was Hazard best season where we was being compared to everyone including CR7 and Messi, even FIFA acknowledged that. Guess who the manager was that time?

I repeat if you blame Mourinho for Hazard poor performance last season then you must give due credit to him for the season before. it's as simple as that.

Bimffo:
Which Level? He had 20 goals in Ligue 1 in a season. Which level did Mourinho take him when he had 6 less in 2014/2015.?

The same level that makes him win the PFA player of the year and his best season yet in the EPL, if Mourinho will be blamed for Hazard poor form last season then definitely he should be given his due accolade for Hazard best season in a blue shirt yet.

It's as simple as that.

The same 2014/2015 season you guys were using to rate Hazard, who was the manager then? Who brought out the best from him?

Ya'll can continue insulting Mourinho for as long as you can but don't forget he was the one that took your Lord Hazard to that level first.

Mourinho.

^^^^
For the collective good of the club and we the fans.
I hope he get it right as soon as possible

Make Rooney quickly break the goal scoring records so he can join the LET GO squad. He has done enough already.

SAF will not come out of retirement and we will surely get right with Mourinho, I believe that.

donjazet:
Yes, but it's been a very long time I have seen a team go toe to toe with Barça and actually outplay them, create more chances than them and force many errors from them. Yes yesterday might have been city's lucky day or Barças bad day, but credit should be given when due and when the time comes for criticism, na we dey here!

Go through that post again, I said Pep deserved his victory yesterday but the way Dayo was creaming his pant about that match is something else. Alaves and Celts went toe to toe with Barca and defeated them, like I said, Pep victory yesterday didn't make him a genius, lesser coach has already beaten this Barca side even with Pique and Iniesta.

So why did they reject the proposed $10 Billion that the government is planning for key development of their infrastructure.

Who will oil block epp? The elite
Who will NDDC funding epp? The same elite
Who maritime university epp? The same elite

How do they expect the DG to force IOCs to bring the headquarters back to the ND when it's not a government agency?

These people needs to get serious and draw up a better plan and strategy that will improve the lives of the people they claim they are fighting for.

The call for regional autonomy should be at the top of their voices and not all these rubbish.

First leg

Barca 4 - 0 City
Pep is a brilliant coach for sticking to his philosophy and coming out to play Barca.

City 3 - 1 Barca
Pep is a tactical genius for beating Barca.

I wonder when we will start calling Mauricio Pellegrino and Eduardo Berizzo genius for beating this same Barca team.
Barca are very beatable and Pep deserved his victory last night but to be shouting upandown calling it tactical genius na something else. Do not compare the Barca treble winning team 2 years ago to this Barca side that has Digne and Andre Gomez playing for them.
