All angle.. it’s Juninho any day any time. Man was underrated during his prime

there's nothing like all angle...... How many did he score from the left side of the pitch? most of his free kick goals were from the middle or his right.

Kingosytex:
No one will give Salah Balon D'or. You can screenshot this.

Its not given

Cmanforall:
How about Mane's chance?

Did i say Mane does not stand a chance?? My point is Salah stand a better chance going by their performance so far this season.

Kingosytex:
No one will give him Balon D'or. [b]What exactly has he done? [/b]Is he Gabaski that has been making those excellent saves?

kindly tell me what he did to be nominated by FIFA??

dominion001:
and what happened to Mane winning same? Both of them are qualified for all that you mentioned above or is it that same black man mentality that is at play here?

Please don't play the racial game with me...... based on performance this season, who do you think stand a better chance of winning Balon D'or between Salah and Mane?

Wow!!

Still wailing after 3months??

This niqqa na real cry baby.

He wouldn't have uttered this crap if he had won Balon D'or.

Kpokpoogri:
This is also a WORLD CUP YEAR.!!!
That's a huge determinant.

and what if there's no clear favorite from the WC??

ThierryJay:
Obembet, after crying your eyes out since yesternight, you ignored your washed out, woeful Cristiano that could not do it against a division 2 team and focused on De Gea instead. Yet, you publicize & criticize Messi for lesser disappearing acts against much stronger teams. Abi we should blame Greenwood again for not passing to CR?

Ojeemah, I think Cristiano should have won the Goalkeeper of the month. He conceded a whopping zero goals and assists for month of January; Simply outstanding

Fun fact: Even though Ronaldo is generally regarded as the most prolific penalty taker currently, he has missed the same number of penalties as Messi in his career. Talk about the impact of hype.

That confused gender created a thread to spite Messi shortly after the loss to Nice in a shootout but the dingbat don suddenly go awol cos his penalty hunter couldn't find the net yet again.

Their hypocrisy stinks.......Imagine if he had scored, all of them go say naim dey carry man u. Now wey e chop pk still lose join, we no go hear naim dey kill man u ooh.

another trophiless season loading

ThierryJay:
Happy birthday to Pendu, the wannabe Goat.

Knowing how narcissistic the baba is, I'm sure he'll be sulking over his woeful performance yesterday that led to his team's ignominious exit at the hands of a lowly division 2 side.

No goals and assists throughout this year. I'm sure japa plans are already in motion. Homecoming don enter mud

Happy birthday once again jare.

Fun "factos": Ronaldo has missed the same number of penalties as Messi in his career (29), yet Messi is labelled a poor penalty taker while CR is considered best in this regard. Irony of life!

yuping:
I just dey feel say him suppose bust everywhere naaa.
So Ronaldo fumble penalty trully?

Yes na...... you no watch am??

yuping:
Hmmm make I no lie Messi dey fall hand ooo, the thing dey pain like mad.

This no be about Messi sef....... make Op create thread as e dey do when messi fumble

meanwhile,
17 games
6 goals
6 assists
This na average performance of most players but because him set the standard too high, everybody dey cast am but e go bounce back

Niqqa don pay him dues already.

Oga, Ronaldo chop PK last night and they were ousted from the FA cup by the 7th team on the championship log.........created a thread cos if na Messi, you would have created series of threads to malign him.

bloody hypocrite!!

paulolee:
I swear, spending money n making wrong transfers anyhow, irony is dr dey are quick to blast pep wins saying its bcox he av spent alot of billkons forgetting dt united av spent more

Man united fans wey get sense worldwide no reach 5. Ronaldo matter don block their sense of reasoning and judgement...........Even Chelsea and Liverpool wey spend less than Man City wey Man united gap in terms of spending don achieve more in the last 5years but na Guardiola be their problem.

Series of thread would have graced front page this morning if they knock PSG out and Messi miss pk.

And in the past 5years, they have invested more than any club in England.

Well, maybe they are paying for the sins of Howard Webb and Fergie.

I would love to see Senegal lift Afcon for the first time in their history but winning this plus his EPL & UCL performance so far would definitely boost Salah's chances of winning Balon D'or.

Ronaldo is the most hated player in world football.

Most of his teammates are jealous of his success. They admire his success and hardwork but won't show it openly.

Wow! i really don't know where you got this from. without the help of his teammates, what do you think Ronaldo would have achieved. The problem i have with Ronaldo fans is that, they applaud him for scoring but downplay the contribution of others that made sure he goat the ball. Have you ever wondered why Benzema has been more prolific since Ronaldo's exit?? its simple cos people like him and Rooney sacrificed alot for Ronaldo but una no keep quiet as if him teammate no dey help am

Zlatan never hides it. He so much hates ronaldo.

I am just knowing

Or is it dybala at juventus, they always prefer to shoot even if they are not in position to do that

Lets assume you are right, would he have done any different in Dybala's position??

Currently in man u, it's obvious greenwood dislikes ronaldo, that's why in most cases he doesn't give him the ball, despite that he is the highest goal scorer.

Nobody complained about Greenwood's selfishness until Ronaldo arrived and thats because you guys want to prove a point....... some Ronaldo fans careless about man united result as long as Ronaldo is on the score sheet.

This guy despite the hateful attitude of his teammates goes to achieve greatness in every club he has played

Stop the victim game you are trying to play........ The same Ronaldo that took Bernardo's glory in their UNL victory despite featuring in just 2 games( Semi & final).

I remember when I use to tell people messi WiFi only works in camp you, see he's situation at psg now. He has the lowest conversion rate of any player in Europe. Take him to Barcelona now and watch him score claim the pichichi award

i ask again, did his Barcelona teammates follow him to Copa America?

Do you realized, Messi was responsible for 9 out of the 12 goals Argentina scored in just concluded Copa America?? (5goals & 4 Assists)

Did his Barcelona teammates also follow him to the Olympics or 2014 World Cup?

Winningbot:
Winning the player of the tournament does not necessarily mean you were the best. Most times, such awards are given based on sentiments. Just like messi winning the balon d or in 2010 and 202.

when Messi wins, its sentiment. How did Messi not deserve 2010 despite winning European Golden Boot, UCL Top scorer, La liga, Copa Del Rey, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup?? See the screenshot below and tell me why Lewandoski deserve 2021 if Messi didn't make top 5 in 2018.

if ronaldo has same squad as messi in Portugal, I bet you he would have won the world cup

same excuse.......He joined a national team that had Figo, Deco and Cavalho. Why didn't he win world cup or they weren't good enough??

ronaldo single handedly took Portugal to euros which the eventually won due to his immense contributions

Singlehandedly?? If Portugal could defeat France without him, don't you think, they still have have beaten Wales in the semis if he wasn't there........abi Wales is much stronger than France?

You will agree with me that ronaldo stands tall than any other player in international football, even fifa recognised that recently

Stand taller than Ronaldo De Lima, Pele, Maradona cos he scored more goals?? We can as well say Alli Daei whose record was broken by Ronaldo was the Best in Int'l football right?

Messi is a great player no doubt, however,when you talk about contribution to the football world, messi is behind ronaldo

Stick to what your belief.

Winningbot:
you always forget that ronaldo played in 4 different leagues yet he has that amazing record..you cqn obviously see what messi is going through in a star studded psg team. Messi is the goat in laliga or perhaps Barcelona

It's not easy to adapt to a new league, that's why ronaldo is the goat, he conquered england, Spain and Italy

I forgot nothing..... its inconsequential in the goat debate and never existed until this generation thought it wise to make it a point.

Was it ever used as a yardstick to judge Pele and Maradona?

You and I know the answer to that

Bros, nobody cares about it and that's why most active and retired players and coaches still consider Messi a better player (Including former teammates of Ronaldo)

Messi has more trophies, awards, MOTM, golden boots, and assists despite playing about 140 games less than Ronaldo.

Messi's genius was first discovered with Argentina (U17 World cup in 2005) and not Barcelona so don't give me that line.

Did he win U17 World Cup, Olympics and Copa America with Barcelona??

and do not forget he was voted the Best Player in all those tournaments i mentioned.

He still led Argentina to 2014 World Cup final

still no forget he was the best player in the tournament with 4 goals and 2 assist.

Mention one int'l tournament wey Ronaldo don win Best Player, lets see whose success is limited to club.

This guy nai go finally send Aubameyang to China cos e go join Barcelona

They better hold la liga strong cos if they are not careful, they fit exit UCL first week of next month.

I would have loved to see Senegal lift Afcon for the first time in their history but winning this plus his EPL & UCL performance so far would definitely boost Salah's chances of winning Balon D'or.

Kenneth10110:
Very correct that was when Emery started benching Ozil for long then even after poor performances fans where asking why Emery wont play him but when Arterta took over he started getting the blames especially from we Nigerians. When Emery was sacked even some felt it was due to Ozil's influence on some players that caused the sack and loss of form.
Aubameyang's case even the clearly missed chances especially how he feels no remorse and laughs is enough for any club to sanction his sale to safe cash instead of wasting such lucrative amount.

Yea but some pple wont see or travel tp london to watch live matches of Arsenal but will just conclude because Auba is black bla bla rubbish.

You are right on Auba and Ozil.

Till date, some ignorant folks still blame Arteta for Ozil's exit.

Arteta was ready to play Ozil but Edu and other board members refused cos he refused to take paycut

The problem is, most people do not follow events and its annoying reading comments from people with little or no knowledge at all.

Aubameyang thinks the manager will be at his mercy cos they practically begged and were somehow coerced to offer him 350k per week and that led to his loss of form and unnecessary pride/arrogance.

Ozil was lucky to have signed that deal before Wenger left cos i am very sure, Emery would not have allowed renewal of his contract.

There's no doubt about Ozil's brilliance but the dude is indolent.

freeman67:
You are a real Arsenal fan stating facts without sentiment.

Very true that Ozil problem started from outside the team based on his comment and as a business, China is very key to Arsenal. They will not stubbornly play him and loose the revenue coming from there. So it was totally beyond the Coach.

For Auba, lots of people are just being sentimental. Amongst several disciplinary issues. He only, was first disciplined for coming late for the final training of next London Derby. I presume that's after series of cautioning behind the scene.

Apart from the fact that he was among the oldest and most experienced players in the team. He is also the captain and should lead by example and even serve as a model for the young ones but no, he would not do that.

Then they want blame the coach.

Thanks bro..........You have just explained what I want these guys to understand.

What I expected from them is to castigate the manager's approach to conflict resolution rather than bashing him for trying to instil discipline.

And most people do not even know Ozil's situation began before Arteta was appointed.

danngnews:
I do not support disobeying club rules, however Artetha took this too far.

The player was told to come back Wednesday night and he came back Thursday morning, remember he went to bring his sick mom to England, what if there were delays due to medical reasons in which he could not avoid or overule the doctors?

Moreover he did COVID 19 tests in France and came back with the results that Thursday morning,well the results was rejected by arsenal.

Now tell me, the difference between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, is it enough to ban your captain from training, remove captain band from him and finally terminate his contract?
And that for a player that went to bring over a sick mom,that to me is too harsh.

The treatment may be too harsh but he was explicitly told to return on Wednesday and if he couldn't make it, he ought to have called his manager.

And note, that wasn't his not his first time of breaking club rules as the team leader.

anochuko01:
You know ball.
I had to take off other things you wrote coz they were on point.

However, i also use to believe that kroenke is greedy, but I've realized the man only spends wisely. He's been spending heavily on his American teams and they've been very successful recently. Man even built a new stadium for one of his other teams. With the massive clear out of deadwoods, we'll begin to see the effect of his wise speedings.

Liverpool is a typical example of such. They only spend big when there's need, and they've been successful recently.

You have a point but under his leadership, Arsenal has been reduced to an average team.

Arsenal was winning before he took over. In fact, they played UCL final the season before.

Don't you think Arsenal would have been competing with Man City and Chelsea, if Kroenke had sold the club to Alisha Usmanov?

Mumusaphire:
but I can bet it, he dare not try it with big players like Neymar, Messi, Ronaldo, even mbape. Remember when psg wanted rabbiot to sign new contract, and he refused, they benched him the whole season. Why can't then try it with mbape? So players have levels.

Auba's case had absolutely nothing to do with contract renewal.

numen:
I like how you presented this post with nothing but facts. You must be a lawyer. Welldone!

I no be lawyer ooh

Thanks bro

TheKingsmann:
u re right, arteta wasn't the problem, auba is,,he was too comfortable and did anything he wanted and day got arteta angry,,,as a captain he should hv showed good example to his team mates

Exactly bro....... The coach may have gone too far but before the guy begin influence Saks and Smith Rowe, it's best we do away with him.

paulolee:
thats wat we all know....same happened with ozil, its simply bcox dey aint. British..
assuming dey were, a spanish coach cant get such Influence n support to treat them dt harshly

My brother, this had absolutely nothing to do with being British.

E no relate to Ozil situation.

His involvement in China's treatment of Uighur Muslims was the major cause of Ozil's problem.

Do you realize, no TV station in China showed Arsenal game that week cos of Ozil??

After that one, Ozil no gree take paycut.

I am happy he refused to take paycut cos Kroenke na very greedy man wey no deserve pity.

Back to Aubameyang,

was Arteta not the same person that granted him permission to go bring his mom to the UK for treatment?

If your boss give you permission and you no resume on the agreed date, you no suppose call to explain things??

Or at least, when he got back, he should have gone to see his coach or give him a call before resuming training the next morning.

Baba just resume training as if nothing dey pop.

And not like he was a first time offender......

That wasn't the first neither was it even the second time, Auba had done that twice but the coach just dey overlook am.

Not like he was even playing well at the time.

Aubameyang constant display of indiscipline nai cause their problem and as the captain, lead by example.

Ever since the niqqa was offered £350k per week, he became unserious.

Guardiola no bench and even sell Joe Hart??

Numerouno94:
Same here. I hv decided to take his comments wit a pinch of salt. Sometimes I laugh his comments off.

BTW, boss i'm working on my finances. I will update nd play u some tapes latter.

OK bro

But hope you dey alright??
