This really cracked me up

I get you bro and I hear you clearly. And, you are definitely correct about me using my opinion to judge him.

Well I hope he eventually proves you right at the end of the day but, I had rather have him do it else where.

What we need is to give some of our young players a chance to play for the senior team not buying more new young players to come and occupy useful space.

I am sure you are still gutted over how lukaku(especially) and kdb was frustrated out of CFC. We will keep see more of how players run for their life's and careers. Because if we have a Brazilian right back in Wallace then we go buying chambers to occupy space. Or when we have traore we head out to spend cash on a useless player like morata

Please,if we must buy at all we should get quality players at all cost,if not we should put in our young boys and start playing some of them.

diggz:
@ Nihilist,

I don't see chambers as a 2,not 4,not 5 and definitely not 6.

I can't remember watching a game he played and impressed.

Griffon was only trying to be polite when he called chambers uber-useless. Chambers na wetin actually wetin Warri dey call, OTELE!!

Griffon:
No one is under-rating anyone here, this is fact staring at you brah.

Arsenal's backline has Coquelin to thank for the accolades that keep coming their way. Take the ninja away and you get to see the weak tired side of that goddamned defence.

I wonder why mates don't get to give this ninja the credits he deserve. This guy was the best DM in the league last two seasons followed closely by Matic, raking in the highest number of tackles and interceptions. He's the engine room that covers the arse of Arsenal's backine, dealing with the most difficult jobs whilst leaving his backline with little or no worry at all. Take him away from that team and Mertesacker would remind you how much he lacks pace and athleticism, Koscielny would show you clearly the sorta erratic defender he is and Gabriel, need I say anything about this inexperienced fella?

This niggas ain't world class and anyone who's riding the bench for 'em must be uber-crap.

Chambers ahead of Stones? That's akin to celebrating Nigeria being ahead of Afghanistan in FIFA ranking. cheesy

Griffon:
Jesus phucking Christ!

When your competition are[b] Per Mertesacker, Koscielny, Debuchy, Gabriel and Bellerin[/b], yet somehow you're riding the bench, then you're phucking no good. Bar Bellerin, none of these fellas deserve a first team shirt at Chelsea, not to speak of a ninja who rides the bench for them.

Jeez! How can you even consider such figure for Chelsea? When did we become a ground for local rejects? Do you actually have plans for us to relegate next term?

We need leadership in this team and like someone rightly said, this ain't the time to be talking about Reece, Oxford, Calum or some unproven ninja.

Nihilist take time oo.

SIRcumalot:
@nihilist
a while back a read a column on Harry redknapp were he said while he was spurs coach ,some English player fake injury to get out of English qualifiers.
that is what am going for.
I have never watched any England game aside from the recent friendly,can't really tell Wilshere from drinkwater without their names written on the back of their shirt.
am just trying to help parrotibaba understand why Hodgson picked Wilshere. and am not doing well.

SIRcumalot:
Well good luck getting players to commit to the qualifier then.
If all they can just do is ignore call up and play well for their league team.
Vardy doesn't apply because, Wilshere is going to be a bench warmer which is what would've happen to drinkwater if he was chosen.
you really think performance is the only thing that goes into picking a squad ?

AdeLaNa1:
This is what has killed the English NT over the years. Picking players out of sentiments. Underperforming players make the team. While those ready to fight for the team are left behind.

I fully expect them to flop as usual with that squad...

Ibime:
England goes into yet another tournament without midfield depth. Na dem dey do themselves. Please tell me Henderson didn't make squad over Drinkwater.

Vardy, Rooney, Kane, Sturridge and Rashford is overkill. Dem for leave Rashford at home for now.

Dadehmola:
@Diggz...

During Inter's treble winning season, these were Mourihno's key men...

Zanetti ............. 36 years
Samuel..............32 "
Stankovic ........ 31 "
Lucio.................32 "
Thiago Motta .. 27 "
Eto.....................29 "
Maicon..............28 "
Sneijder.............26 "
Cambiasso........29 "
Milito..................31 "
Chivu..................29 "
Pandev...............26 "

It's only a cüm-slurping dunderhead high on Van Gaal's flatulence who would attempt to classify the likes of Cambiasso, Chivu, Eto & Maicon under the "Non-ageing" Category probably because they hadn't clocked 30 at that time.

Christensen:
Yeah I'm that good bruh. Conte has to give me a chance next season, I could be the next JT.

Dadehmola:
Oh - it's now about the months they were born? Why not tell us the weeks instead..you dyslexic, scatter-brained rùnt!

The spèrm-guzzling lunatic even calculated the number of days to the birthdays for some of the aformentioned players to buttress his idotìc opinion..

Kagawa10, you are a disgrace!!




A team with an average age of almost 30 years (for the core players) is an ageing one - only an accursed, paraplegic tomfool such as your Demented &Retáŕded self would try to dispute this obvious fact.

If there's no meaningful critique you can direct towards Mourihno, kindly crawl back to fücktever crevice you came from and continue jerking off to the Van Gaal's náķed pix you tattooed on that pot-belly of yours, you shameless never-do-well!!

Leyqute:
Mourinho is a known victor. He's succeeded in several countries as a coach, England included. He knows the EPL and is knowledgeable about how things work in England. I think he's going to do well for himself at United. Nothing guaranteed, but he'd do his best not to get sacked after a year or two in charge. The man is currently hurt and wants to repair his CV.

That's what I think, Nihilist, you toad. And Bigkesh, you're a little frog

I know say una dey find word for my mouth. Agbaya meji

Kolade354:
werder bremen can keep papy djilodbji. You don't want us to break the bank for quality players, we can't lure them with champions league football too.
This summer transfer market will be interesting bro.

Kolade354:
Drinkwater dropped.
Hodgson should have drop rashford.
England will fail in this year euros.

Kolade354:
The only english player I will want us to sign is Aaron creswell of westham. Chambers is an average player, and we have many players on loan that will perform better than chambers if will give them opportunity.
Christensen of borrusia moncheglabach is another good player.

Kolade354:
lol,I think it is you who should add mangala reece oxford to your list.

Kolade354:
Chambers ko canvass ni.
We need readymade players,competition for too 4 next season will be fierce.
Radja higuain mhiktarhyan manolas with the return of Ake cuadrado and lewis baker is okay for me.

Romelu Lukaku has now scored 25 goals in 36 games in all competitions for Everton this season and has scored 130 senior career goals, two months before he turns 23. Since moving to England, Lukaku has scored 78 goals. He has only started 136 matches. The Belgian is Everton’s highest goalscorer in a league season since Gary Lineker in 1985/86, and we’re only in March. Finally, Lukaku is the first Everton player under the age of 23 to score 25 goals in a season since Joe Royle in 1968/69.

So, how does that compare with other strikers? Well, is the easy answer. For the longer answer, read on:

Payet. See free kick oh. Choi. Saw him play in France and for the National team and I thought he was average. Couldn't see what the hype was about.
This season though is a completely different story. A true ball player. Anyways WH ain't gonna sell him so nothing to see there.

For next season Get me KANTE (he was very impressive again tonight for France) and Bale Two forward thinking players.
Mikel can be transferred to Juve along with Oscar.

mathys:
Hmmmm! After God ,fear nairaland peeps! As a matter of fact,the fear of nairalanders is the beginning of wisdom.

@ Nihilist, I dey salute oh!! As your loyal friend and boy, whenever i vex thee, kindly forgive and forget because na mistake e go surely be, not intentional.

chic2pimp:
They showed real guts yesterday. Many a team would have crumbled.

Hahahaha pele.... DO you support a rival team? I was supporting Saracens only because of Itoje though.

chic2pimp:
Why Am I just seeing this now?

My money was always on saracens but boy did Exeter impress me. I thought Saracens would run away with it but apart from their slightly nervous start, they were phenomenal.

Btw I think Kruis and Itoje's are if not the best, the second best second row pairing in world rugby.

ddippset:
lol, that's what you call brain? A 40 year old man sitting up to conjure what a teenager should and you call it brain? So it has now become 'if you score more goals than me then you're better than me? Is that what your own brain could decipher? Messi still has 4 champions League titles, Messi still has 5 balllon d'ors. He still is, clearly greater than Ronaldo. Ronaldo' s performance in 3 champions League finals isn't even comparable to Messi's performance in just one. Take the equations he wrote to your son writing common entrance, he will tell you you're more intelligent than his class teacher, I bet you.
