@JK,
Been dodging stray bullets from one thread to the other.

I hope Baba can find the right mix to this side. That's when the benefit will be really manifest.

@Martlett,
David James is a fantastic tender of the ball and actually kept for England for awhile. His high profile blunders will not make history accord him full respect.

I will liken Mr Poll to James. Just like Mr James, Mr Poll has made quite a few high profile blunders that cannot do his overall rating any good.

If the FA/Press see him as great that in itself does not make him great.He again showed his "greatness"  at the World Cup last year. What we saw the experts simply could not see. Until he showed everyone on the World stage.

In the refereeing world Poll could be cynically called Calamity Poll, much like his illustrious goalkeeper pal.

JJJJJJAAAAAYYYYYYKKKKKAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY47,
How far?

@Loyika,
Just saw the last part of your previous post.

Since you are in a proverbial mood just to remind you that dawn heralds the day (yoruba=owuro lo jo)


WAN UNITED

@Loyika,
Who knows, they could even help fund some of our buys.

Meanwhile check out our new boys. We are making strong statements about next season.You guys should too. Time na money

WAN UNITED

@Sharpyng,
This is a thread for lovers of Man United.
Go through the different fora on the nairaland  home page and see which is most approriate to make your enquiries.

If however you are a lover of Man United, welcome.

WAN UNITED

Congratulations guys on the buys.

Typical united in delivery, quality ,clinical and sensational. 3 super buys within 24 hours. And maybe one or 2 more. Statement of intent next season has been made.

The strength in depth required to survive is slowly taking shape.Soon we may have a shadow for every 1st team position . That would be fantastic.

Long term replacement(understudies) for influetial aging legs are coming on board now . The future is being taking care of without necessarily jeopardising today.

Methinks we still need a true striker and should offload Saha. Unless he really wants to go Heinze is still key to our team.

Now we can start pre-season knowing the team is ready to go.

My fear?           Getting the right blend for optimal performance.

My consolation: I think this can probably be managed.


Congrats again guys!


WAN UNITED

Graham Poll would go down as one of the most controversial refs. A ref does not need to be controversial if good.You can be well known yes, but not controversial.

For all Roy Keane's hardness Mr Poll contributed 9 of his 11 red cards in his Man U career.Na only am dey see.He announced he was quitting international football last year. . .as if FIFA would ever have allowed him handle a World Cup match after such a high profile blunder.

The guy thinks he's the best thing to happen to England.Thankfully only few share his view.

We need to see less of guys like this in the game.

I have never liked Graham Poll . Finally, he has made a right decision this time .

Jose the Lip is so-called because he can be loquacious and makes statements which many find unguarded,uncomplimentary,unsportsmanly and maybe downright unnecessary.

By the way,Mohammed Ali was called the Louisville Lip in his time. So maybe there is even more greatness for the serial Special Lip.

WAN UNITED

@Mk,
We need to release it soon .
This title came to mind yesterday
Home and Away with my BLUE(?) HAMMER(?)
We should release it on both Chelsea and West Ham threads

Still thinking of a new juicy  title for your thread . 

WAN UNITED

@MK,
On my way to your thread to rechristen it .

What of our duet?


WAN UNITED

Bros Akola,
I don talk say make you no mind me.

WAN UNITED

You guys might just  need to open some new threads so you don't get stranded if the Lip suddenly leaves.

Abraham and Sarah's Chelsea : Billions  blue
Peter Kenyon's Chelsea : Desert(er)  Blue
Didier Drogba's Chelsea:  African  Blue
John Terry's Chelsea :  Deep Blue
Mustay's Chelsea: Nairaland  Blue
Glori_ous Chelsea: Baba Blue

Don't mind me jare

@Mk,
He'll steal the show. Remember he's the serial sorry Special Lip.

@mk,
Been busy in the studios. Something big will come out soon. Trying to organise an All Star concert and hey it's going to be great. Everyone will be involved JK47,Akola,Loyika,Kitaun,Rikky,J-girl,Bolaoni,Debosky,Hugoboi,9ja4,Razorr, really just about everyone.
You and I would even do a duet.  Something like "Home and away, it's HAMMER TIME" . Looking forward to it. Remember we wrote the script together.

Guys, this link did not quote a single source to confirm the figure or story. Even any source 'that pleaded anonymity'.

If true the figure is damn high and can fetch 2 top calss guys.




WAN UNITED

@Mustay,
Cool bro. Been out of circulation for awhile.
What's up?


WAN UNITED

Hi guys,
Been awhile.

1.On The Lip.He is an accomplished manager and winning 6 trophies in 3 seasons by any standard you choose implies success. What many argue is that given the resources at his disposal could any other top rate manager deliver same or more?Arguable.They would hinge this argument on the fact that when Abraham closed his purse in January the Lip became stranded and this might have affected Chelsea's second half adversely.

2. On buys. ALL teams have stupid buys or rather buys that do not deliver on promise. A combination of team strategy,style of play in country,player decay curve(ie is he still improving or has peaked),player confidence,playing time or opportunity,etc determine if a player will be successful or not.That is why a Diego Forlan will leave Man U and start banging goals in Villareal,and Ashley Cole will have a tentative start(this cannot be said to be his first season inEngland) or Shevy. What matters really is how you mitigate such by making money on their eventual sale(or cutting your losses quickly).

Meanwhile , congrats on your FA Cup victory.We continue where we stopped next season and see you at the Community Shiled.


WAN UNITED

@Mustay,
Did you see the calculation of the 6 points

WAN UNITED

Loyika's congratulation is a 2 fingered ,half elbow embrace. . . . formal, impersonal,bolaoni/manu4laif-induced.

But I accept . . .even though the goons refused to accept mine in January.

I hope next season will see all blazing from the start. We realised that this season. Hope others do next term


CHAMPIONS 07

As it is Wednesday's game is meaningless to both teams and the League standings. It would however be nice to beat them at the bridge. Again another fantastic script. I'm however more interested in May 19th. . . ."we are going to Wembullyyy"


WAN UNITED

@Mustay,
You never forget that's good.

Let me break it down for you

2 at Newcastle,
2 to Bolton,
2+/- (x) to Goon,MU,Everton

Code:x=any number between 0 and 9   

WAN UNITED

Now you've lost the minimum 6 I spoke about. Still counting 

WAN UNITED

Like i keep saying 4play "if you guys win something", i will be the first to raise my hats up to you scummies, (you included ) But until then, you are just making noise with no sense attached. Trophies are not given for which ever stage Manscum are at in Any Comp. Win something then come out to celebrate, then and only then will all your stupidity be justified

May is just 4 months away, spare us all this United crap till you lift a trophy ,

Like i told the Scum, The end of the season will tell the true story of how every team ends up

So Jackal and co, if you think i am playa hating you right now, I am trully sorry, i will just reserve my comments till the end of the season, when you guys prove me right and buckle at the last minute.

@Loyika,
Still waiting


WAN UNITED

Yesterday was the first time we've not conceded in all comps since the game against Sheffield.

Boring game no doubt but right now I prefer the scrappiest 1-0 win to an exhilirating 2-2 draw or defeat. Plain common sense. We've played some fantastic football earlier in the season so if our fans see scrap in the last couple of games as long as we win the prem they'd readily excuse that.

Let the goons put their feet where their mouth is and ensure they do not lose. They are under pressure for this match(mostly self-inflicted)and should they lose. . . . .  

If they draw or win. . . . "Eko Bridge Guard of Honour". (Fantastic Script)

WAN UNITED

What a script?Thanks Goons for making that script a reality. Come wednesday we see a Guard of Honour at Onitsha Head Bridge with 2 games to go.

Congratulations are in order .

I need to hear from Loyika  

@Reds,
Enjoy today. Celebrate and lets go to the bridge to party.
Been a long season and glad to see that we've made it at last.We deserve it.

WAN UNITED

Will someone at least congratulate the deserved winners of the Premier League.
Ok we don't deserve it right, fixtures were in our favour , you played after us every weekend right, ,you had more injuries,you were chasing quadruple , bla bla bla . but we are champions right? Congratulations . . . .anyone?
