dmcdad: It's not easy bruv... Athletico ain't a small team at least as it stands now... If it were easy, how come they defeated Madrid to get here? It was because they are a very good side. Imagine a club that topped Madrid for the most part of last season...

AjanleKoko: You watch this game at all?

A raised arm and a body check resulted in a red card and penalty. And the ref did Athletico favours?

dmcdad: I guess the pitch was too watered.

Johnpaul88: We always struggle against a well organised defence.

Questionable calls? I don't think they were questionable. The evidences were overwhelming.

Michyeddy: Where there not two caught?why is jst one crucified?

masonkz: I'm just too glad to know that there are still people who will look at things objectively.

Funny how no one is calling the pastor to explain himself. Maybe cos all Nigerians see him as "Larger than life", someone who can't be touched. Now all blame is on the girl. Smh.

These are what the pastors are banking on, cos they know that the population would rather believe them, than believe anyone that comes out to say something like this.

I don't blame her much, as she was a victim of "my pastor says this, my pastor says that". I see that a lot.

Johnpaul88: Enough bashing on Pique! Remember he's our most senior centre back. We should get used to having him around! If he is as bad as all of you want us to believe, what the hell is he still doing in the spanish national team?

Mcleo007: I cant get why you guys suggest that Pique is done. He is a quality CB; if you have played active football before, you will understand the assignage that comes with playing as a 5. In the role of CB, the No5 plays a little higher on the pitch than the no6. He is the one that marks the deep playing attacker, and is so open to being outwitted for pace and dribble because his approach is on the slow. Defensive flaws are easy to spot in his game, which does not reduce his defensive abilities. The no6 on fhe other hand plays a more reserved role and is the one we know to be the last man in defence. He is the finisher of all defensive works. His game is easier as he is afforded good time to read the game and correct the errors of his partner, if any. This is the reason someone like Puyol and Maacherano cannot make a decent defensive pairing or why Chygrinski never fitted into the Barca mode because he is natural no6 like Puyol. The case is similar to Pique and Batra's pairing towards the end of last season. Same case applies to why Yobo and Oboabona may never sync in the same team; both are no5.

Pique is good. Hes always been good and can only develop his game further. The people who voted him in the world xi at the last balon dor are more knowledgeable in the game than most of us on this forum.

dmcdad: Piqué is arguably the worst defender in the world. There is nothing anyone will say to convince me otherwise. I just wish he gets seriously injured or something. That guy is highly annoying. ..

AjanleKoko: All this debate about Puyol vs Abi. Cancer survivor vs crippled old warrior.
Na FCB cause am

dmcdad: But bruv let's be sincere with ourselves, you can't compare them. Abidal's case was a matter of life-and-death and Puyol's case ain't. Please don't put them side by side. I understand where you are heading to, yet you can't compare the gravity of Abby's injury to that of Puyol.

chagga: only a sinner with a history of abuse who went to seek a meaningful walk with God at COZA.

AjanleKoko: A muscular injury and an organ transplant are not the same thing bruv.

naijathings: All hell would be let loose if those same words were said to Keshi while in Europe or USA or Asia.

Johnpaul88: ^^^
You talk this way because apparently it is not your money that is being spent to keep a cancer risk player, who has no reason not to have another relapse, the next day after you have extended his contract.
That gabage article by goal.com carefully avoided this fact, so as to achieve their whatever desire to have a dig at the administration.
Alves talked on personal grounds only not on professional grounds. The club did all they could for Abidal. They gave him contract when he had his second relapse and he ended up playing only 2 or 3 matches and all you want is for them to give him another one because the club has become a charitable organisation? People should be fair in argument.

That he's playing now for Monaco does not mean he's cured totally. He's become a liability, sadly. What should have been the question is why we couldn't get a replacement?

slimghost: Its an abuse!

dmcdad: ^^^^ I wonder why someone would be advocating for the calamity himself... Piqué is one of the worst defenders in world football.
