They are just supporting their brothers over the pacific, by the way there is an Igbo Proverb that says 'A slave is always uneasy whenever he sees his fellow slave been buried because he knows that one day it Would be his turn'.I think the blacks over there in U. K are just trying to avoid the type of situation that happens Occassiknally in U. S from happening there.

It can't happen. The environment is just too different.

Most of the blacks in the UK are immigrants and not freed slaves.

I hope you didnt type this from an All black cafe. Make them no knife you. Besides isn't it like a remembrance anniversary for a police victim.

raumdeuter:
So you are also the UK version of a republican?

Black lives already matter in UK.

There's a solid black middle class here and the police are not killing us like flies.

There are blacks in parliament, blacks in high level corporate jobs, in media, everywhere

That's why I'm irritated that some good for nothing ediots want to import another man's struggle here and spoil things for all of us.

These fools don bring Black Lives Matter nonsense come UK now...

Nihilist is married and has given birth to a bouncing boy, anoda one suppose don dey pipeline. Peeps like you, dopejemi(this one broke the heart of a blue babe not long ago), Afrodoc2, Dmcdad are young but bad players best to be avoided.
Old men like Dayo, Ibime, nateevs all have grand kids so would be good to receive advice from shikena.

Afrodoc is probably one if the oldest on the sports section.

I had my kid before I got married sef.

Brestar, if I may ask....what inspired your your choice of moniker?

Sarkin misyarn of Nairaland lmao

Afrodoc2 e be like say you nor take hippocratic oath at all.

Youre here to treat victims, not personally send them to the morgue.

RIP Dayo.

May I please ask all you non-Chelsea fans to vacate the premises, post-haste?

Brestar you need to be watchful and prayerful. So many of these guys are touts and mechanics.

If you want to fraternise with nice God-fearing, Chelsea-supporting gentlemen, you can contact me via PM and I will advise you further.

God bless you dear.

Amen

If the quote is far-fetched, here's Klopp with his own testimony:

“I think all these managers are here because competition makes it really interesting,” Klopp told the Liverpool Echo. “If you are three times in a row Spanish champions, three times in a row Bundesliga champions, then you think OK, let’s try something else.

“If you are looking for the biggest challenge, then you need to go to England. That’s the difference 100 percent. It’s not like they wanted an easier job. They wanted this.

“Winning the title in England is the biggest challenge of them all. There are the most teams who can [win the title].”

“It’s not easy in Germany where all the clubs take points from each other. If you want to be in front of Bayern Munich, you have to win all the other games and then a minimum of one against Bayern. They don’t lose.

“There are a few teams in England who have always been playing Champions League in recent years but nobody is satisfied. It’s because one other team has always been better.

“In this country it’s a very different kind of difficulty. Here you have a number of clubs who think they should be No. 1.

“In Germany, there is one team who think they have to be No. 1 [Bayern] and one team who think they should be [Dortmund]. The rest hope for I don’t know what.”

- Jurgen Klopp

I see your post and will raise you this:

Mourinho, who clashed with Bayern boss Guardiola during the Catalan's time at Camp Nou, subsequently argued that he could have taken an easier option before returning to Stamford Bridge.

"For me, I'm not the smartest guy to choose countries and clubs. I could choose another club in another country where to be champion is easier," said the newly crowned champion, in an apparent reference to Guardiola.

"I choose a club where I was happier before and a country where you are happy before. I took a risk. I am so, so happy because I won another Premier League title 10 years after [my first] in my second spell at the club.

"I was champion at every club I coached. I came to Inter, Real Madrid and Chelsea. Every title is important, to win the title in Spain with 100 points against the best Barcelona ever was a big achievement that I enjoyed so much.

"Maybe in the future I have to be smarter and choose another club in another country where everybody is champion," he added. "Maybe I will go to a country where a kitman can be coach and win the title.

"Maybe I need to be smarter but I still enjoy these difficulties. I think I'm at the right place. I'm here until [Chelsea owner Roman] Abramovich tells me to go."

Airmark can you please supply that Ancelotti quote on how uncompetitive the league is ?

Yay or Nay?

Antonio Conte spoke about himself as a tailor who likes to stick clothes based on the fabrics he has, implying that his formation and team structure will be decided by personnel than philosophy.

– He has been true to his word. Forget 4-4-2, 4-2-4, 3-5-2 or 4-3-3, he has identified the exact problem why Chelsea were 10th last season.

– With the personnel chelsea have, playing an offensive high line is out of the question.

– First reason – our centre-backs. JT is unarguably our best defensive, a scary fact. I have nothing against the legend (the player, not the individual) and I think he must retire here. However, his shortcomings on the pitch, primarily of the fact that he cannot play in a high line (not for lack of pace, which is an idiotic argument, see the case of Carlos Puyol). This doesn’t have to do with the fact that he is technically very good (the best in our defence) and has an unparallelled game intelligence.

– All previous Chelsea managers sought out to get the best out of John Terry hiding his weaknesses at various points. When he was an out-and-out English defender (his technical prowess developed very late, around when he was 29 actually), they paired him with technically and tactically intelligent defenders (Carvalho). Then, when he became that defender, they paired him with an older version of JT – Alex, Cahill etc. (Luiz being the exception).

– This combination of JT and Cahill (or Alex) means, Chelsea’s back line will always be suspect in a high line (ask AVB for instance). Long story short, we have to set ourselves in a low block, with the backline closer to the goalie.

– Which outlines the second issue – the space between the defense and midfield. Jose Mourinho sought out to find a solution to the issue of playing a pro-active offensive game (laugh all you want) with a deep defense. So, he set out to buy/keep players who could play in the system. The midfield was not as close to the defense, but not as far away to cause trouble. As a result the front four had to run their arse off (hence Willian is still in the team) to make up for lost space/ball.

– This seemed to work till December 2014. But, nature took its toll and the steam was off, meaning everyone barring the back five were tired by Winter 2015. Jose retorted to type and played an absolutely mean defensive strategy to win the title. It wasnt a mystery that we sucked in Europe also because technically, we could not match the big teams due to our weaknesses.

– Last summer, our hilariously failed transfer purchases – Pogba (yes) and John Stones were to be added to a pacy and young Zouma ready for first team mantle. Jose wanted to refresh the Chelsea defense by pairing Stones and Zouma (or JT), add Pogba to muscle in midfield. It didnt happen. And the already tired players were given a longer break (in hindsight a bad move), and they came undercooked after pre-season. Of course, Jose’s management last season was poor, and was another in a complex list of factors that made the season disastrous.

– Back to Conte, he seems to have identified this flaw and has already set up Chelsea to play in a low block. Instead of having a low defense-midfield and high offensive block, all the three lines are closer (the forward line is as close to midfield). The team is now zonal, meaning less individual physical work rate need. As a group, the team is asked to press and harass opponents and score counter-attacking goals.

– The signing of N’Golo Kante is the first step in solving the puzzle, we now have steel in midfield to cover up space. So Conte has the tactical advantage of either playing a two-man midfield (like first half of Milan’s game) or a three-man midfield to press more and score (the second half) by altering the formation and personnel.

All in all, we have a tailor who has identified the holes in the fabric and has begun to stich the required cloth. Dont expect us to win anything, but top four should be a good finish. We can overhaul the defense and seriously challenge in seasons to come (Christensen, Koulibaly should help).

So nobody saw that mumu sojaman reduced to holding the plank steady for the mumu gorvernor

Kirchoff did not win EPL player of the month o.

He won fans player of the month, where the winners are not chosen by professionals, instead oloriburuku fans like yourself can gather together and rig any ediot into the title.

You can create multiple accounts, call your daddy that doesn't know ball and tell him to vote, and tell your sister too.

All you need is access to sky website.

I don't understand how that useless kirchoff that gave away one penalty and scored two own goals on his Sunderland debut can be used as a credible example...especially when he only ever won the footballing equivalent of Mr nairaland

Meanwhile over at the Etihad....

FBS:
This two just dont go together. How can you destroy someone and yet you got beat?

These are the kind of people Jose was talking about when he sarcastically suggested that 3 points should be awarded to teams with more possession.
