dammytosh: Mou did not buy C Ronaldo, |
powerblaze: I could disengage your brain(lets pretend you have one) from your skull, insert the brain of a goat, sit you down at the camp nou bench, and you'll still deliver a trophy..And why isn't Tito Villanova delivering now? Your I.Q is on the same level as that of a leprous rat. SMH. |
dammytosh: You call that failure ? Guess you are an arsenal fan.You obviously do not have the sense God gave a dung beetle. So for a team like Real Madrid, semi-finals are now an achievement? You think Real Madrid is Chelshit (the first ever UCL champions to go out in the first round). Mourinho is a complete and utter failure, he always has a litany of excuses to cover up his failures. Bernd Schuster won La Liga, Capello won it twice in two seasons with half the talent that the Loud Mouthed One has at his disposal so what is his excuse? His style of play has been found out by virtually everyone in Europe. He belongs in a small plastic club like Chelshit. |
thegoodjoehunt: The truth is that success in football is never consistent. It takes planning and patience. Except for Man Utd in the EPL. After the success of Xavi, Iniesta and Messi, the Barca board should have actually put fate int the La Masia youngsters. I can understand buying Fabregas but Sanchez (who actually is a superstar), Villa and Song, I totally feel was wrong.I disagree on that point. Look at the ones they have sold (Bojan, Jeffren, Dos Santos) what have they done in those clubs they have been to? They are simply not good enough. The buying of Cesc was purely based on Catalan emotional sentiments; Xavi wasn't ready to leave and there is no way you can bench Iniesta so what need was he brought to fulfill? The Song one is the most idiotic; you already had Busquets (because of whom they sold Yaya) & Mascherano so what is Song doing in that team? Villa was needed because they needed to lift the scoring burden off Messi's shoulders. Sanchez was supposed to offer something different; speed and directness. Now they are talking about Neymar. Barca needs a good goalie, two good centrebacks and a new striker. |
sleekdot: Patrick Herman would most likely go to Dortmund to join Reus there.They have absolutely no need for him, they already have the two Marios and Pep is not a big fan of big, classic number 9 strikers. However, if he must leave, BVB should get a similar type of player like Dzeko or get one of the Marios. Unfortunately, Juventus have gotten Llorente. I think Munich would rather go for a player like Iker Munian (A.Bilbao) |
thegoodjoehunt: Age is catching up with Robben and Ribery. Bayern are planning for the future, that was why they captured Boateng, Martinez and now Gotze. Reus will be perfect to come in. I believe Bayern is not going for him because Dortmund just bought him but their telescope is on him.I agree about their age but they can always go for someone outside Germany. I think they won't want to antagonize BVB. They would go for either Draxler (Schalke 04) or Patrick Hermann (B.Monchengladbach). Lets see how Holtby progresses at Spurs though, he is another one |
thegoodjoehunt: It is not just about buying players. I believe Bayern wants the best German players playing in their club. That was why they fought and took Jerome Boateng from Man City. That is why they are getting Gotze and Reus is up their among the best German players.Then they needed Boateng, given how useless Van Buyten and Demichelis were. Even he himself failed, hence the purchase of Javi & Dante. Depending on if Pep wants to keep Robben, they have no need for Reus and he is too good to sit on the bench. Dont forget they still have Shaqiri, Ribery and Muller |
Afam4eva: Barca has one of the worst defence in the world and despite the fact that most of their defenders are short, most of the goal they conceded was through their tallest player. I think Barca needs to revisit their philosophy. It needs to be tweeked a little bit. They were bullied yesterday mostly physically. As for Madrid, they had no business losing this match by that margin. All in all, i'm happy for Germany. After the La Liga, the Bundesliga is my favourite league.The blame for Barca's failure should be put on Sandro Rosell and no one else for the following reasons: 1. Pep knew that some players had lost their edge and wanted to get rid of them, Rosell refused. Players like Alves, Villa, Pique. 2. The signings of Cesc, Song and Sanchez were luxuries they did not need. All three have added nothing to the team since they joined. 3. Illness or not, Tito is not as good as Pep, they needed someone who could tweak the system like Laudrup or Bielsa, not a continuation of the same system which the whole world has been studying over the last few years. 4. The arrogant belief that every product of La Maisa will be as good as the previous ones. |
thegoodjoehunt: Dzeko will be perfect, he is a goal machine. Marco Reus won't last in Dortmund. Very soon Bayern will come for him. Maybe Reus has just one more season for Bayern. Well if Klopp stays, replacements won't be a problem.You are making Bayern into Chelsea? . FC Hollywood wont buy Reus though I suspect one of the other Euro giants will come for him later. Reus is from Dortmund but Gotze is a Bavarian, that has played and will play a part. Also look out for Leandro Bittencourt, he might be the one to replace Gotze. Its the defence that might be an issue. Due to their intense rivalry with Schalke 04, they might not be able to get Howedes if Hummels goes to Barca as is been rumored. |
thegoodjoehunt:Replacing players who leave has not been an issue for BVB, Watzke & Klopp seem to have it figured. The problem will be the relative smallness of the squad and how it will cope with the rigours of multiple competitions. Look at what they have done already: Lucas Barrios = Robert Lewandowski Shinji Kagawa = Marco Reus Nuri Sahin = Ilkay Gundogan I hear they are lining up Dzeko to replace Lewandowski and one of Isco/Eriksen to replace Gotze. |
Suprises: My frnd where are u getting ur news from?Help me ask him o. Lewy's contract ends next season and he does not want to renew so he will be sold this season so BVB can make a profit, maybe he saw the news on NTA. ![]() |
djon78: The typing mistake was because I was typing with my phone.Can't stop laughing at the comedy on this thread . How can you put the words "organized", "neat buildings" and "Onitsha" in the same sentence? |
pmc01: Fact remains that B. Dortmund is one of the most stupid clubs I have read of in a while. How do you sell two very key players to a rival club in the less than 48 hours?Calm down. Gotze had a release clause and Bayern activated it, how is it BVB's fault? And Lewandowski has not been sold yet, cool your jets. |
boron10: Isn't Barca the team with the worst CL semi final defeat?They are. |
CAMEROONPRIDE: Jeez I'm talking about their local championship tell me when was the last time another team won the Spanish league? It's always between Barca and real there is no challenge and mind you It's always in the spanish league that the 1st will have like +20 on the 3rd or 4thValencia in 2004. The champs of England have been booted out in the first round of the UCL so ![]() |
CAMEROONPRIDE: Like I said go back in your cage ...you are the one who quoted, don't know why you felt the need to quote a Cameroonian since you clearly don't like them.Really? Remind me how many times Wigan and Spurs have played in the UCL semis or won a continental trophy. I don't hate Cameroonians; they are lovely people. Just that the dumb ones tend to be record holders in the area of stupidity. |
boron10: And the success is getting trashed by four goals martin at this stage of the competition? Lolz. What a disgrace to club football. So much for best league in the worldIts "margin" not "martin". And isn't Chelshit the first ever UCL winner to go out in the first round? |
CAMEROONPRIDE: Idiat things of the past you are the one who should apply some sense when was the last time real won the Ucl?And things of today will not become past as well? By the way which team do you support and how many UCL titles do they have? Why am I even bothered, you come from Cameroon. E.O.D!!! |
CAMEROONPRIDE: These victories showed us that the BBV/spanish league is a joke. Barca and real should register in the Barclays premier league or the German one.Really? And between them, both clubs have more UCL titles than the entire EPL? Try and apply small sense before typing na. |
vision2050: shutup!!! falcao scored hat-trick not haul. Miranda scored the fourth goal ![]() |
That awkward moment when fans of 'Top Four is A Trophy" who have one UCL final appearance in 127 years of existence and fans of 'I Was Nowhere Until a Russian Crook Rescued Me" who have gone down in history as the first ever UCL champions to bow out in the first round laugh at successful clubs. |
dopeJemi:Which Nollywood performers acted out this movie scene you just described? Real Madrid always takes a dump on Manure, go and talk to your mate; ARSE(nal). |
As a Madrid fan, this defeat rankles but any fan who says he didn't see this coming is a big dummy. BVB and Bayern learnt their lessons from last season's defeats, the rest of Europe especially the Spanish giants did not. Jose Mourinho's tactics have been found out over and over again by the smaller teams in La Liga, yet no corrections were made. Truth is Barca and Real need new coaches, new ideas and the sifting away of deadwood like Pepe, Pique, Alves et al. Big ups to the Germans for adding mental strength and hunger to their play, hope they can transfer it to Der Mannschaft. |
curtain: Its anoda parasitic state like kano and katsina.You sound like a donkey who does not have 0.5% of the IQ God gave a dung beetle. If you don't know, ask and stop bleating. |
Dede1: At least, Ohakin never stage managed a road accident where he could be flown to London in order afford him the avenue to hide the JPROS contract money traced to Lebanon. What is the fate of the occupants of the other vehicles involved in said accident? Imo State peeps are jackasses for being hoodwinked by this street tout called Rochas Okorocha. I met him six months into his term as governor of Imo State and concluded thereafter he is a joker.Given the choice of the jackass; Okorocha after the 4 years of madness that was Ochinawata's tenure, do you blame Imo people for voting Okorocha in? |
@Rossikk: My brother, you are really trying o, big ups to you. This crusade that you have taken on to highlight what is good (or seems to be good)about Nigeria, please continue. |
kettykings: This is good and timely just coming after the presentation of Oji kalu to the British house of commons , this is what the MASSOB people did not realize or even think about (i hope Uwazurike does not wake up to put a spanner in to this wheel of progress).The same Britain & Russia who armed and staunchly supported Nigeria during the Civil War are now suddenly friends of the Igbos? I have heard it all today. . |
ikwere militant: Shut up eko ille are u back from exile.do u tink africa is europe or america.which of dis countries re u toking that will use ur seaport when in actual sence ure using odar peoples own.so u mean benin republic ot ghana or gabon tell me na.mugu.

romanlaw: PLS WHERE IN ENUGU,OWERRI,WARRI CAN I GET A CLEAN DESCENT ASHAWO? PLS I NEED THE INFO ASAP. because MY JOB TAKES ME AROUND THESE PLACES EVERY NOW AND THEN AND WHENEVER I TRAVEL TO THOSE PLACES I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO HOOK UP WITH A CHICK AND IT MAKES MY STAY IN THE HOTEL ROOM BORING.Guy, in Owerri, go to Orji and arrange IMSU girl for yourself (they are a bit expensive though). If you want cheap ones sha, enter the hot spots around Alvan Ikoku at Amakohia or FEDPO, Nekede, don't dull. Or if na ashi you dey find, Disneyland hotel for Osha-Owerri Road or the joints on Wetheral, Federal Housing or Douglas will serve you better. |
Billyonaire: Its not disgusting to chat with a sweet lady at the mall with a nice tattoo at her leg, what of the pretty model on suit at the church. I feel sad for these 'Holy' men.My guy, you have spoken like the true son of your father, shake my hand. Those "holy people" date more than one girl at a time (girls who are also having different kinds of fishing rods dipped in their sullied waters) and yet have the nerve to turn up their noses. People still think prostitutes are people who stand by the roadside or are found in dingy shiiteholes. You don't have to stand by the roadside to be a prostitute; every bar, club, hotel, higher institution across Nigeria have girls who will offer companionship for money, call it "aristo", "runs" or whatever, they are all synonyms. Every girl who has demanded for money before sex or has used sex as a means of getting money from a man (be it boyfriend, husband, uncle et al) has practiced prostitution so before you ladies throw stones into the marketplace, make sure your families are not in that market. Whores are an economic necessity who are in their own way helping to manage situations. Ban prostitution and see the exponential increase in the following: Pedophilia Broken Marriages Rape Incest Left to me sef, I will have it legitimized and make them pay taxes to the government, criminalizing it has not solved any problem. |
Laughing my head off at all the people defending their states. Comments rating Delta, Anambra, Imo, Rivers, Kaduna, Edo, Akwa Ibom & co as developed states are meant for comedies only. The only states that even approach semi-development are Lagos & Abuja, developments are better spread in these places than in any other states. The rest just have one SC (State Capital), one or two MTs (Market or Mid-level Towns) and a whole host of GVs (Glorified Villages). However, the potential for growth given sound governance, harnessing of mineral resources, large investments by local & foreign investors and encouragement of local developmental initiatives is apparent in some states that seem to have a reasonable number of developing towns other than the state capital. In my estimation, some of these are; DELTA (Warri, Sapele, Obiaruku, Effurun) ANAMBRA (Onitsha, Nnewi, Ihiala, Obosi. The neglect of Onitsha by Peter Obi is criminal OGUN (Shagamu, Ota, the border towns with Lagos) KOGI (Itakpe, Okene, Ajaokuta, Kabba) |
Afam4eva: Nigeria is a one-city country whereby everything is concentrated in Lagos. From white collar to blue collar it's all in Lagos, so almost all the opportuntities are in Lagos. The FG actually made this possible. That's why there has to be a concertede effort to decentralize the economy ffreom Lagos. Other state governors also need to do their bit to attract investments which will in turn create jobs that will prevent people from running to Lagos at the slightest poverty provocation.True but then most states are repeating what the F.G has done in their own domain. Apart from Lagos, how many other states have developed communities apart from the state capital? Across the length & breadth of Nigeria, what you have in most states is one state capital, one or two struggling mid level big towns and a whole host of glorified villages. That mindset also has to change as well. |
