Look at this effeminate fellow, pouting in his selfie.
Probably after applying his makeup and painting his nails

larride:
Sorry, it seems I quoted you out of context, you have scored more than Southampton but they had a superior goal difference.

Apologies.

Absolutely no need to apologise bruv

It's just one of those things.

dopeJemi:
See them, bloody liars, everton vs chelsea ended 3-5

Really?

The kind of apollo that has stricken you and larride must have undergone olympic weightlifting training

larride:
Sorry sir but Chelsea isn't the team with most goals in the division. While I agree that Chelsea has played some exciting football this season, you are not the side with the most goals.


Southampton has more goals than any other teams presently in the EPL.

Really?

Larride could you please tell us how many goals Southampton and Chelsea have scored respectively?

dopeJemi:
Bla bla bla, you and I know that you guys play a very boring football

Define exciting football

This nigga's face be like:

Go Ahead....Call The Cops

They can't Unrape you

dopeJemi:
He didn't lie, they have something in common

'Boring football'

Chelsea have scored 28 goals so far...more than any other team in the division

They've also conceded 11 goals...letting in exactly a goal per game.

So on a basic level, Everytime Chelsea plays, Goals are Scored.

But Yeah, we play 'Boring Football'

50calibre:
Yes!! Till someone decides to derail that train, which I'm more than happy to do given the right motivation.

You know, it will be nice to introduce a bit of turbulence in there, rock that boat a little bit.

Exactly!!!!!!

You down to rock the boat bruv?

PES 2015's debut on the new generation of hardware serves as the perfect antidote to fans who lost faith during the previous console switchover. The FIFA juggernaut has rolled on well beyond the point Konami's series could last count itself holder of virtual football's Ballon d'Or. Dedicated players have converted, and an entire generation has moved on to EA Sports' series. PES 2015, however, storms onto the pitch, flag in tow, ready to go full Souness on its major rival.

It's important to start by dispelling the myth that PES offers arcade action as opposed to FIFA's simulation. The latter's superior presentation - amplified by this year's official Barclays Premier League overlay and accurate facial scans - is often used to justify the notion that FIFA plays a realistic game of football. Head onto the pitch and this isn't quite true. EA Sports' latest offering is hamstrung with constant goals from kick-off, ridiculous penalty calls and shifts of momentum which make Sergio Aguero's last-ditch title winner against QPR appear tame.

Perhaps its the increasing significance of Ultimate Team that accounts for FIFA's increasing flair for dramatics, but even as it introduces its own myClub, PES 2015 is a pleasant reminder there's an actual sport to be enjoyed. Subtle physicality is at the heart of a system which rewards those who battle to the very last, whether you're approaching goal or desperately trying to protect your own.

Going shoulder to shoulder is responsive and forces the AI into second-guessing whether they can retain possession. Some will use Olympic strength to power through, others will slow up, change direction and look for a pass. Reactionary intelligence - the kind which actively seeks solutions to problems you inflict - is at the core of everything PES 2015 gets right.

This is most apparent when momentum shifts appear during matches. Take, for example, a two-legged Spanish cup tie, in which my second division Real Betis side was forced to deal with multiple strains of strategy from La Liga's Rayo Vallecano. Home advantage is applicable - the developer emphasises the importance of drawing on crowd support during loading screens - meaning tactics are adjusted accordingly.

Vallecano dominated possession during the opening tie, but were unable to inject tempo and suffered on the counter. Once I notched the first goal with my Master League default side (love you Castolis), Vallecano noticeably upped the ante and looked to move the ball forward with pace, throwing additional numbers into attack to try and find an equaliser. This left the top division side exposed at the back and eventually ruing a 3-0 upset to my selection consisting of a P.E. teacher, haberdasher and LARP enthusiast.

During the return leg, Vallecano filtered play through one-time Manchester United prospect Manucho. The striker dropped deep to hold up possession and picked out wingers whose attacking impetus had noticeably increased alongside the urgency of needing a result. With the score standing 4-1 on aggregate, Vallecano flooded long balls into the box as if under order from the pre-2014 Sam Allardyce. A quick introduction of my fatigued captain - a behemoth in the air - tightened things up to see out the win.


To contrast this, my next cup fixture against Real Sociedad saw the Basque side score in the opening minutes and admirably retain possession without exerting themselves. Nicking the ball away, just for a second, became a task in itself as my rivals actively searched for space. A change in formation upped competitiveness somewhat, before a sucker punch goal left my team in tatters.

Nothing gung-ho or curious occurred, and there was no Roy of the Rovers finish that riddled the match with chronic implausibility. The better team emerged victorious and provided an education in the process. No injustice, no tears, no controllers hurtling across the room to amplify the pain. The post-match stats, grim reading as they were, taught a lesson that would help a second-leg comeback ensue.

PES 2015's ability to prioritise the fundamentals of football ahead of a constant stream of blockbuster moments makes the title far less alienating than its competitor. Victories are well-earned and rewarding due to gameplay that is sharp, responsive and finely balanced.

Care needs to be taken with each pass and opening your body up to receive the ball remains key to creating space. Manual control is easily applied, although sloppiness with or without will be punished. Extended online play could show through balls to be too effective - these are excellent at splitting the defence - but even assisted attempts are easy to overcook or misdirect.

The AI works hard to retain your shape and diligently ensures unnecessary gaps aren't revealed. Mistimed lunges for the ball aren't fatally exposed with a chasm of space opening in front of goal, as your controlled player turns to continue the fight while colleagues burst to neutralise the threat. Such a forward-thinking system allows full commitment to one-on-one clashes without leaving a lack of structure around the action's epicentre.

This feeling of intelligent reinforcement allows the basics of football to take on greater prominence. A fluid formation system enables different setups for when you're attacking and defending, meaning offensive midfielders can slot into deep-lying roles if you're under pressure or full-backs can aid sweeping moves when gaining momentum in the opposition's half.

Players make intelligent runs into space, but importantly, these aren't just the overzealous forays forward. Tom Cleverley enthusiasts will be impressed to see sideways options appear and defenders work hard to back up your play. The old "backwards to go forwards" adage comes into full effect as it's made clear you won't survive simply by holding sprint and breaking between the lines with a change of direction.

That's not to say world-class players won't have an impact. Cristiano Ronaldo darts through challenges with the ball glued to his foot, while cutting inside and launching a curled strike with Arjen Robben is often a precursor to celebration. Attempts at goal are still lacking the satisfying thud of FIFA 15, but are met with a fulfilling contextual response from the crowd whether you slam one into top corner or whisk a pot-shot wide.

Goalkeepers, too, are excellent at producing an emotional response. I can't remember a game in which I have felt so secure with the computer-controlled stoppers between the sticks. Not because they are superhuman, but because even low-rated keepers are decisive. They will gather simple crosses, punch away from danger when placed under physical pressure and get their body behind the ball to limit any spillages inspired by everybody's favourite on-pitch urinator, Fabian Barthez.

Similar to the effectiveness of through balls, goalkeepers will likely receive a more thorough examination when online play is established. This wasn't available in time for review - disappointingly so considering myClub's opening attempt to dislodge Ultimate Team - but local multiplayer contests excel through the mechanics of a title which has been constructed to limit vexation and promote "good football."

The PES world flaunts added authenticity this year, despite the almost charming aesthetic drawbacks many use to detract from the game. Some player representations are uncanny - just look at the ears on Luis Suarez - while others are unintentionally hilarious. Antonio Valencia's forehead, for example, is straight from the realms of Deep Space Nine.

Other areas of presentation are also executed well. Manchester United fans can eradicate memories of David Moyes (soon to be Louis van Gaal?) with a run through the officially licensed Champions League, while Spurs enthusiasts will take comfort from the Europa League's inclusion. The Asian Champions League, Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana are replicated alongside newly added second divisions from England, Italy and Spain. All of this is encased with a limited soundtrack featuring catchy yet admittedly deplorable songs from the likes of Ellie Goulding, Bastille and Imagine Dragons.


At this point, there's only one question left to answer: is PES 2015 a better game than FIFA 15? In terms of replicating the balance of real football, the answer is an emphatic yes.

The latter's constant need for the spectacular is overpowered by a formula which rewards the subtle tweaks and tactical variation which fuels the real-life sport. PES 2015 actually benefits from arriving two months later than its adversary, which has displayed its weaknesses over extended play since release.

It's perhaps ironic that, in the year PES introduces micro-transaction monetisation, the developer has reminded everyone that football - virtual or not - is meant to honour those who conglomerate the basics into a winning formula. Whether or not the desire to farm gamers' cash stumps the series' growth remains to be seen in the long-term, but PES Productions is currently sitting on a durable and resilient blueprint of how football should be played.

FIFA and PES seem to have swapped shirts, with neither catering to the original audience they once set out to attract. Based on this year's offerings, though, it's PES that has the clearer direction of where it's headed. Perhaps most tellingly of all, PES 2015 is more satisfying in defeat than FIFA 15 is in victory

Gentlemen,

You will by now be aware that there are 51 contestants for the crown of Mr Nairaland. This means that ceteris paribus, or all things being equal, you have a 1 in 51 chance, or 2% chance of winning the competion.

Those are already very long odds, and with all due respect, all things are NOT and WILL NOT be equal.The truth is, some of you will may not even get a single vote, based on looks alone....
Also, the likes of naijab*iy and chibikw* are already extremely popular on this forum, and already have a huge number of voters waiting to waste their votes on them.

We know their types, the rich kids who never had work a day in their lives, the popular kids at school, the ones who got the girls.
We may not be popular, and we may not meet their artificial standards of beauty, but as they say, every day for the thief, one day for the owner.

Well Gentlemen, this is a chance for us owners to strike back.Our chances are slim and our odds long, but I can change all that. I offer you 21 guaranteed votes each at the start of qualification. 21 guaranteed votes.. As long as you do exactly what I say.

What do you say?

brito:
I don't just support, you have to up your game, first of all change your dp , I can't just look at it

sobsisrael1996, at this point, it might be wise to listen to public opinion.

Perhaps you need to change your DP.


The public don't seem to like the 1st two very much, I personally don't know why though.

Can you whip out some other photographs from your catalogue to further showcase your indubitable good looks and suavity?

englishmart:
smh. Campaign strategy that just won't work...
Your campaigning is more of a sarcasm than reality. Just improve

Do you and let us do us.

Your DP looks like there's a dead animal stapled to your cranium, but you don't see us complaining....

Sobsisrael1996 is always on point and always on time.

The man that all the ladies love to get jiggy with....

Idowuogbo has been eyeing him for a few days now, and Kachisbarbie has been threatening to leave her marital home for him.


Even at that, ladies don't be shy, there's enough of sobsisrael1996 to go around...

dopeJemi:
You and objectivity, what did you expect? 20shots on target with ten men? If I could remember correctly, chelsea had only 2 shots on target there too, you guys couldn't even beat a team down with one man

And at old trafford, you guys had just 4 shots on target in the whole match so please don't tell me about having 2 shots on target, we couldn't beat the same man city with 11men last season, we got flogged with ten men three seasons ago

You seem to have forgotten that you guys gained 2points from a possible 6

Who's not being objective now?

You're the one who gave the Man Citeh game as an example of playing well. And within that context, a game where you had only 2 shots on target and could easily have given away 3 clear pens if the ref was on his game, cannot be construed as a game of good football.

Chelsea's game against Citeh is irrelevant to the discussion. Infact looking at the table, one could reasonably argue that the draw was a success for Chelsea and a failure for Citeh...but I digress.

The original argument that was put forward was that Manyoo has been playing goodfootball without getting the points. Using the Citeh game as evidence does not advance that argument at all.

elampiro:
* Your proof that Ronaldo earns less than Rooney.

* Moyes only added earnings from image right to Rooney.

* You don't have the whole picture. Man City were ready to pay Rooney 300k in 2010, but he took pay cut to stay. Summer 2013, Chelsea owner personally wanted Rooney when Mourinho mentioned him. PSG, Madrid and Monaco were options. Even Gerald Pique was asking him to join Barca. You cant know more than the authorities in the business.

Are you minding the Mumu? Rooney will walk into the 1st team of most clubs in the world.

Mourinho actually refused to play a striker against Manyoo in an attempt to lure him away and was willing to pay more than he earns now.

Manyoo was desperate to keep him, and rightly so. How many players of his calibre are there in the world today?

Sorry boy did I hurt your feelings or did I just break your little heart?

If you have a problem with coogar why don't you face him?

Provide a single article overhyping a British manager as you claimed or shut up.

No wonder you are a chekpe fan

You drink too much ogogoro..keep on trolling!

That's bayerns problem not united!

But Ronaldo's wages are United's problem?

That's why I asked if you think at all.
