Write this one off. . .

Ibime:
How long will you keep blaming the players. . . where are the fullbacks on these counterattacks?. . . is it not Ancelotti that gives them licence to go gung-ho?. . . .all these goals would have been stopped by fullbacks in the appropriate position.

I have seen enough of Ancelotti to know he's a wasteman. . . this is the same nugga that took a 3-0 lead to the Riazor in the quarter-final of the Champions League and still contrived to lose 4-0 to Deportivo.

Same nugga threw away a 3-0 lead in the CL final.

Ancelotti gives new meaning to the word brittle.

Like I said, Im done with this chap. . . I aint expecting nothing from him, so I wont be disappointed. . . expect Inter to do the same to us in a couple of weeks time.

Yes I will not stop blaming the players . .
Why should I when I see someone who should chase down a possible counter and decides not to. .
You used to make us all believe that the diamond was resonsible for dropping points and that width will solve the problem. .

We've been playing the 4-3-3  since then and we've been lethargic and inconsistent. .

jalether:
I do not care what anyone says, JT should be dropped to the bench, he has lost his leadership qualities, his ability to read the game and

certainly his no nonsense, never give up attitude, he is only playing based on his status at the club

Ibime number two. .
What has Terry done?

@too soon

Don't you think that is too soon?

Ibime:
Ancelotti is an idiot. . . his teams are more open to counterattack than a $2 wh0re.

I've been saying all along that I have no confidence in this chap. 1 Serie A title in 9 years with Juve and Milan. . . what else do you expect?

I give up finally. . . am not investing any more emotions in the bumbling Italian idiot.

You have started again . . .
We must never go behind or drop points . . . Carllotti this . . Carllotti that. . .
Do the players have no responsibility. . ?

The cross into the city box met no Chelsea player. . Lampard, Drogba and Anelka just dropped their shoulders and never bothered to chase back. .
Always the manager. . .

At least we are playing your favourite 4-3-3 today. .

Look at that.

because Anelka's created something twice out of nothing doesn't mean he can't be better.
Ball hugging is too much. Imagine aw much more he can create with his pace by dropping the ball and running into space for a return pass.
We will score more goals.

There is no place for Ballack in this team except cover on the right like we say time after time.
Another creative midfielder in his position would create more things. .

Joe Cole, can only claim to be involved in this game because of the first goal.

2nd half. .

[quote author=kay_pumpin link=topic=404948.msg5595755#msg5595755 date=1267278036]Is it me or this Mancini dude has really made Man City looked ordinary,bland and width-less?

What happened to Ireland and SWP?[/quote]It's not you ooo.
Ireland and SWP in this game will put on serious pressure.

We will never be able to keep a clean sheet again. .

How can that happen ?

denzel2009:
Anelka can be useless man, with his come make i dribble you game

It is f-u-cking annoying to say the least.

Goaaaaaalll

Anelka. . .

Lampard and Drogba. . . Na waooo

scantee:
So boring.
nonsense
i am out of here.

Bye bye. .

Must you all watch?
Go and sleep everyone . .

Drog misses from there. . ?
Chei!

Ha! If only Drogba can pass. .

WE are not on fire and that worries me. .

We should get a goal from these opportunities. .

No shot on goal . .
Anelka hugging again. .
Great shot by Malouda. .

Set piece. .

I am a massive massive Wayne Bridge fan but come on. . just bloody get over it. .

Bellamy and Tevez. .

Am I scared ?

Bridge ignores Terry.

MatchDay Live.

Malouda at LB again.

I am taking a very strange position here and this is it.

It is okay and actually rightful to say "because he has done good for the state does not mean he is above the law" . . However, I can only accept this statement when there is a total structure and a near fool-proof code of conduct for the legislative and judicial arms of government.

Do we have a system that protects a governor from being removed from office by legislators acting in their own self interests? If the answer is yes, then carry on with the probe.

Do we have an ordinance that governance lives by which protects the office from political party lords? If the answer is yes, then continue with the probe. 

Will this process open up a catalogue of cases of alleged corruption and financial misappropriation by past and present leaders for scrutiny and investigation. ?

Until we can provide a yes to these questions. . . This whole process is bullsh.it. I love to see Fashola probed and probably removed if guilty of the allegations. However only if I can be assured that the investigations will spark a chain of other investigations to follow. Past and present Presidents and Heads-of-state, governors, ministers, legislators, councillors, directors in public establishment and so on.


Until I can be convinced that we are prepared to take these steps, I cannot help but see the current on-goings as a one-off attempt at system correction which looks, feels and smells like another politically motivated campaign.

Let no one tell me it's about transparency. . . If you think so, you are a f.ool. Until we can fully probe the process of how the legislators got elected, how they raised their money, who gave who what, how much money was spent, how they got the money, how much money they have spent since they got elected, how much they allocated to their personal coffers, no one . . Not one single one of them can claim moral uprightness to call someone corrupt.

I know how this will end. BRF will be found guilty, impeached and a new man will be moved into office and then:

1. All contracts awarded by the previous administration will be reversed.
2. As a result, all works on major projects by the previous administration will grind to a halt.
3. After a few months of contractors chasing money, they'll get fed up, abandon part completed roads, gutters and buildings, count their losses and walk away.

4. After a year, we'll start throwing dirt on the streets again.
5. The homeless will return to the bridges - uproot all the flowers and make homes for themselves.
5. Area boyz will return to the bust-stops, tax the drivers and the drivers will pass the cost unto the passenger.  Bus stops will be knocked down. Orderliness at bus-stops will become a thing of the colonial era.

6. Traders will return to Oshodi.
7. Roadside trading will return and hence we will welcome back the traffic jams.
8. The new administration have suddenly discovered that Lagos state can generate more revenue that they imagined- N20b. They'll stick to tax collection and then share and spend the money, do nothing at all and come to back to tell you lot . . "What the F-u-ck can you do about it?

9. Big and life changing projects like the Expansion of the Badagry expressway, Lekki - Ikorodu road, Energy City, Eko Atlantic City, Lagos Rail and an array of privately owned idea and architectural edifices springing all over the place becos of the enabling environment will all come to a stand still. 

10. The Lagos State bond, if ever was successful will never be repaid to investors.
11. The BRT buses will all be sold off while they still have value and their drivers suddenly have no jobs; the CCTV cameras, Solar panels will all be stolen after years of inactivity.


12. The chaos and filth will all return and then we will go back to being just what we have always known Lagos State to be. - The dirtiest, filthiest and most corrupt state in the world. Status quo! 

Now I wonder what we will be agitating for then.


The people deserve the leadership they get. . . Simples!

BlueDiva:
To each his own.
Mikel was just Mikel.
His usual passing around and misfired shots.

Are you serious ?
Mikel was by a mile the best player on the pitch. .
He was finding passes in the game and trying to start an attack like the way we knew him . .
He only missed the target on his shot once. . You know Mikel had a good game when the goalie catches his shot. . 

BlueDiva:
Blame it on your disturbed captain.
Ivanovic was fantastic. He practically gave us our goal.

Eurosport website claim the injury may last till the summer.
Hilario ain't a bad goalie. Not like Almunia , Fabianski or Foster.

Diva, FBS doesn't like Ivanovic. .
He complains about the dude every time.

Ibime:
You were the one that made me love Alex. . . why the sudden change of position?

The other day, I noticed you say that Alex is slow. . . thats what I used to think, but last season, you showed me he's got great acceleration once he gets going.

Alex is fast. . . he's just slow on the turn. . . but Sol Campbell has always been the same.



I think you lots are just hating on Alex sha. . . . if you look at Alex's physique, he is someone who needs to be playing regularly otherwise he will look sluggish. . . thats cos his body is heavy cargo. . .

I held back on a sentence . .
When Alex chases a player about to cross from a flank. . he picks up pace when he gets going. .
Honestly, after cleverly watching him . . . He could be one big disaster. .
I only like him for his physique and his cracking shot. .

Ibime:
@ FBS and Nateevs,

Can you bet your mortgage that a typical Uncle Carlotti team wont concede at SB in the 2nd leg?

Never . . not a pound. . We will concede and that suddenly makes it mandatory to score two goals.
Would we limit the goals we concede to one, I can't tell.

We have to score 3 goals to be comfortable. . .

debosky:
Lucio is better than Terry on current form - that dude's head is in the clouds and he is costing Chelski badly.

Better to play Alex when fit with Carvalho instead of Calamity John.

That's because you don't know Alex . .
Alex is a dull defender . . His positional sense is pretty non existent. .
He can't organize and he more often than not loses his marker because he lacks awareness. .

JT needs to clear his head as his errors may cost us crucially. .
I will use Ivanovic and Carv in defence. . Belletti and Bruma on the right.
