Pep towers above all current active manager

It is vote not handpicking now. Messi will always have the edge. He does not have claim to win this award this year. But voting will always give him edge. the best is not to nominate him at all.

IamRichards:
Ucl winner: Haaland
Epl winner: Haaland
Fa Cup winner: Haaland
Uefa SC winner: Haaland
Ucl golden boot: Haaland
Epl golden boot: Haaland
Epl POTS: Haaland
Pfa POTY: Haaland
Uefa POTY: Haaland
European golden shoe: Haaland
Uefa POTY : Haaland

He is the best player in the world right now,and he's just 23

World cup is the greatest trophy in the whole world of football. The boss at world cup who won world cup golden ball deserves the accolade as the best for the year. Messi being in UEFA best nominees should tell you one thing. Despite his early exit from cham[ions league, he stiill surfaces at the podium. Go to any site to check the odds for yourself, Messi has Ballondor in his bag already. Haaland will share Europe vote with Mbape, Messi , De Brune and Rodri but you see South and North America votes, and majority of Asian's votes belong to Messi whether you like it or not.


Go and check the winners of UEFA players of the year, only few of them ended up winning Ballondor.

Proudlyomonna:
Comparing Agentina to Portugal is like comparing Croatia to France.

Before Messi Agentina don already Win 2 World Cup,them don already been dey play Finals like norm.

Who Portugal epp for World Cup football

Their best performance is 3rd position 1966.

Agentina glory for football no start with Messi oo.

It's nothing special now that Messi has won it abi? Even if Argentina has won it before, it's not part of Messi's achievement. Countries like Paraguay and England have won one and remain like that till now.

Messi is the greatest ever player. He won everything in football. The past Argentina records belongs to the past not to Messi. Not winning world cup would have been a great blemish on Messi but people like you who said rubbish to Messi before his success starts in country in 2021 after many trial are now looking for soft landing and excuse for Ronaldo.

Has any Portuguese won three Ballondor before Ronaldo won it? Has Portugal won Euro before Ronaldo? if all are no, being the best ever comes with price , he must pay it.

Besides, if one is not careful, one will just believe that Messi career is scripted because no one is all round achiever in football like Messi from underage to senior level even in club football. He come humble join am unlike someone.

PELE and Maradona never win Copa America, Ronaldo delima never win champions league and Ronaldo never win golden ball for country nor world cup for his country, and we have one who has won everything. What's the definition of greatest if not this?

phr0nesis:
Man City wasn't impressive last night.
It was as if I was watching Man U in sky blue Jersey

How many of the teams can win without four of their best players on the field. KVD, Jones, Dias and Silva and they still put up a cracker in spite of the fixture crunch .

hatakekakashi:
Wait, is it the same Onana that made 6 saves in a match that his team also won you're talking about? Guy conceded one goal and he has already become bad. As if he's the first keeper to concede a goal like that in football.

That's exactly De Gea problem as well. Spoiling all his saves and efforts with a mistakes.

We shall see how Onana will win Golden gloves like three times like De Gea as time goes on. He is no doubt good at using leg but gambles a lot.

Beverlyjean:
Barca never wanted Messi... if they did , he will be there

Barca did more than wanting Messi. They desire him and wanted to build team around him again but Messi is running away from spotlight.

If you like, misquote me from now till forever,, I won't give you the joy you seek.



The security apparatus in Nigeria is what I blame.

We call these people CRIMINALS.
And that's exactly what they are..

But the Nigerian security continued to call them UGM, and ESN, and IPOB.

We have told the Nigerian security countless times to flush them out and kill them all.
To show them NO MERCY..

But they would go behind our backs and be colluding with these criminals,, and then,, rush to the Media and call them UGM.

And if they fall out with these criminals, then they would rename them from UGM to IPOB/ESN..

It's a pity that lives of innocent unconcerned citizens are being taken in the whole of these mess.. Yet, the Nigerian Security Apparatus are busy colluding with them.

Other people are now saying that we are supporting criminals.??

All of you, including the security apparatus are all shameless.

This useless people will be writing as if they are dumb. Who did Unknown gunmen killed first before started dealing with the civilians? When they took all the police stations and Army Barracks one by one and attack them, didnt you read the news? When they took all the inec offices and burnt them down, didnt your people clap for them? When Federal Government sent operation python dance to east , didnt you elders who lost their voice regain their voice to call it genocide against Igbo? Upon the fact that all the culprits arrested by securitries are Igbo, go through this thread alone if you will not see that your people never take responsibilities that the criminals are Igbo. How many Igbo elders, including headless Inwayawun or what do you call him and Obi has called out the Ipob or the criminals parading themselves as unknown gunmen out? The thing is now getting out of hand, you remember FG. FG of shithole and zoo for that matter. What FG needs is Igbo to take responsibility, and elders come out to condemn them the way they are quick to condemn anything attack against Igbo in Lagos or outside Lagos. How will a region who claimed to have fought a war before be so coward and directionless?

Greatest ever footballer. How I wished I can still enjoy you more in Europe.


No because of goals

But unlimited magic you perform per day that some players can only dream of.

Kingcalls:
Are u dull or what?? Taunts from opposing fans is not new in football..... Messi was taunted by his own clubs fans .... I am yet to see a smart Messi fan... u guys argue without reason

Real Madrid Fans Booed Ronaldo not once or twice, but severally. Check it below:

All these are the links for you to know when and why Madrid fans booed Ronaldo

001Lagos:
Some of you people from Osun state coven of demons are so quick to throw insults

Tinubu APC government borrowed billions of dollars with nothing to show for it , and you expect me to clap for them for paying little part of the billions of dollars that they borrowed?

Get a new brain man.

Cluelessness did not even allow you to check the date of loan. We are talking about 2013 here. When we you learn to reason before you talk?

Yoighaman:
Bro, I nor get power to argue, plus I nor be Igbo, 'cos that'll be your first assumption.

Support him all you care, but let's always call a spade a spade. In my opinion, there was a foul play; why be say iRev and all the technology apparatuses work for the other elections except the Presidential one.

Let's all enjoy the ride, while we wait for the tribunal to come up with its verdict.

I'm sure you have seen a list purportedly to be his ministerial, what changed? "The same old Politicians, wey rule Nigeria before"- Fela.

It's a list to compensate the lots who supported the political heist, but like I said, I nor get power to argue.... infact, I didn't know I'd type this long.

Cheers bro. One love. We gather dey inside am together. Say no to japa, LOL.

The question is that who carried the day in senatorial election and House of rep elections? Who has the majority? It is the same apc. If senatorial election are credible according to you, it makes all your assumption and theories invalid because geographical region winners is a reflection of candidate that won the election right from time immemorial.

slawomir:
Damnnn niggar

Disaster of a president
Nigerians don't recognise this niggar as their president

No matter what stammerer go surely call he papa name

Tinubu is going to be disgraced
Just a matter of time
Y'all know the sweet thing hun! The disgrace is gonna be televised
Name two states or region with enlightened, educated, exposed and Liberal people
Definitely it is lagos and Abuja right

And obi won those states

If you are a youth and you finished from a tertiary institution and yet you can't realise that obvious fact then your education is a waste and you need to collect your school fees back because you are still in tribalism and you are disgrace
Even the osun sate according to record is the most educated place in South west reason tinubu did not win that states

Your last sentence just confirm how dumb you are. How is Osun the most educated state in South West? Who told you Nigeria election is weighed? Election in democracy is counted not weighed. If you don't know this or you know or pretend to show, you are ignorant of it, then your education is a waste.

You come with different theories everyday to discredit his election. It is allowed because you did more than this before election. Losers are know for flimsy excuses all over the world. Just don't drag intelligent and enlightened people into you foolhardiness. 25 percent in Abuja is no longer working, results upload is no longer working but credibility according to educated states is now an excuse for a nuisance like you. Its a pity oooo

blowjohn:
Exactly. It's like we no dey use our heads for this country to deduce things.

And just look at the house of reps blunder.

And where that guy slwaormii?

Some things are almost common sense.


The real winner same state as the fake.
Same Christian
Female too.

Top 10 mostly igbos

Top winners of the last 10 years also mostly igbos.



So what again? Jamb don't like her dressing or they don't like her family?

You are right but not entirely. Top ten highest scorers in last JAMB are not dominated by Igbo. Go and check again and correct yourself.

Chidex50:
See bitterness. Someone hating another for no reason. Anyways, he'll soon be your president!

Obi does not even stand any chance. Apart from Tinubu hurdle that he can never cross, there is no way Obi can defeat Atiku who came Second. Court will have to determine who came second between Obi and Atiku which is obvious going by vote spread.

biafranrealson:
is a shame that a learned and respected SAN like Wole willl descend so low to defend a druggie and the only evidence he is holding against a man loved by all is a register doctored by Lamidi Apapa , his native doctor.

Tinubu is a gooner

People like you are nonentity who know nothing but to abuse. Someone is defending, he presented some documents and records yesterday, present another one today to dispel Obi candidacy and still counting. You said he is relying on only this. Why do you think like this?
If it's that simple, Obi that is prosecuting and vowed to produce 50 witnesses should have produced more than 7 or 8 unreasonable witnesses he vowed to

Seunfretty:
....I stopped reading your post immediately i saw u saying Rice is a technical player...bros u fall hand....let me shock u the days of the Orthodox no6 is getting obsolete gradually and that's wat Rice is....people no prefer players who have physicality and can still player as "Registre" kind of midfielder ...someone who can do the "la pausa" and " la película" ...someone who is great with one touch football

Rice is not even in that league...he is an orthodox kinda 6 ....like Ndidi...Gueye...who does almost nothing than win ball then pass to the nearest team mate ...the requirement for playing in font of the defence is now more than that...

You can check stat Rice isn't good with passes ..he doesn't have a football brain to tick things in the middle all u see is sideways pass...i understand some coaches want physicality but there are players who has the blend of that and have the nick pass...the one touch ball and other things and can spread the ball around from basr....Rice isn't in that league bro. .

Look around u ...how many coaches or top team in Europe do u see still playing with the orthodox No6 who is only a hard marker and nothing much after than....kimmich....Rodri...bouquet...verrati and more ..

You are buttressing the point I made. Take it to anywhere, Rice uses ball more than Partey. That's what Arteta is trying to do. You can play that pattern without a ball user who can stay on the ball for long to draw opponents. Rice does that well, better than Partey.

You are funny, you stopped where is said something but your respond capture every areas I touched.

Technically leave it or take it, Rice is more technical than Xhaka and Partey. Most of you that watch him judge him by only his performance when Westham is playing big teams where midfielders do more marking than holding ball. Rice will ball. He hold ball and move past players with ball which only few midfielders can do. If you read my comments very well you will see where I said that players like Busquet, Rodri, Jorginho are technical. That's to tell you that I am aware of the fact that football is not all about tackles all the time. Stability in midfield is the key which physical midfielders cannot give you.

Slynation:
Lol... I guess we ain't on the same page, your assessment is completely off the hook, I'm not laying blames on anybody bro...

Why won't it be off the hook when I didn't join you to say that Man City made Westaham if late the price of players. Or I didn't believe in your analogy that Man City made Jorginho, Cucurella, Sanchez, Maguire, Fred tough for them. It is true that team bully City not yhe other way round but everyone just accept it when they don't have fans and reasonable legends like others.

stanbright:
partey was bough 2020 mr I too know.you no be arsenal fan you won drag arsenal with me
Tomiyasu was bought 20million
Arsenal expenses was not more than 100million.now calculate for other clubs,you no sabi football you no go go watch BBN

Tell me how Turner, Viera, Marquino, Trossard, Jorjoinho, Kwior and Odegard himself got to Arsenal and how much. After Chelsea was Arsenal and followed by Man United. Your failure to win league was not because you didn't spend money but it was because you preferred quantity over quality which is what Arteta is correcting now. Last year was even better. Year before last was the worst when Arsenal bought fringe players like Tomiyasu, Tierney, Tavarez, Lokonga and others only to be knocked out of top four at the end

Seunfretty:
The people saying Rice is good has a point....but wat they don't really clear is...what is he good at...he is ok defensively but Asides that Rice is not better than ndidi of Nigeria ..to play in a top team in modern football u have to have a better technicality as a DM ..that's wat makes likes of Casemiro better...

Rice doesn't score goals ..he isn't even s good ball passer...Mikel during is years was a DM most times but he was a better ball passer than this present Rice...i watch him again and again for england and wat does he do in possession...pass the ball to the defence or the next person...nothing comes out of the box than the basics...

Is nice partey is playing cos he is a far better player than rice even while they are a little different in type...partey is physical...and can play in multiple roles...

And for those saying Rice is better than Caicedo ..u must be kidding ...Moises is better technically than rice ...he can pass the ball better ..use his physicality to get the ball past people...he can play other roles in the midfield ...Rice can only play as a DM...

And for 105million...Omo ..he isn't even a 80 million player

You are saying these because Rice was in a team like Westham where more defenceman is done than attack. People that see potential know that Rice is more technical and cleverer than you can imagine now.

Rodri, as good as he was in Man City understudied Busquet tíll Busquet retired not because he was not good but Busquet was more technical than him. Good coaches who are not in Mourinho class goes for technicality rather than physicality that Party, Caicedo and Casemiro will give you. It does not mean Casemiro and Partey are not good but they are not comfortable staying on the ball in the midfield just like Rodri, Cazorla, Fabregas, Xavi, Rice, Erikson at Tottenham and Toni Kroos.


Hence, Physical holding midfielders are good for tournament because they will give you instant result but technical holding midfielder don't fade in time because they have class that is permanent. Xhaka had to help Partey do some of these last season while Partey do a lot of farward passing and attack but Xhaka is gone now. Even as good as Odegard is, he cannot do the work of technical holding midfielder.

Slynation:
Arsenal that doesn't spend much on transfers, the one time they decided to spend, they spent foolishly...!! £105million for a player that can't guarantee any team of 15goals and assists in a whole season but Arsenal decided to jonz...

Why do I have this feeling Man city planned this with West Ham, they have an inform Rodri but bid for Rice so that Arsenal will foolishly fall into that trap...!! Let's see how it goes shaaah.

Apart from Mbappe that cost PSG £180million, No player has ever strived up to the expectations of heavy price tags...(Neymer, Coutinho, Dembele, Lukaku, Anthony, Kepa, Higuain, Mudryk, Pogba, Harzard, Maguire, Grealish, I just dey look Enzo etc) and Declan Rice and Bellingham won't be any different...

Must their misfortunes always be linked to Man City?
Arsenal have tabled two offers close to 100 million pounds before Man City surfaced with 85. Arsenal outbid and got their player signed. How is that Man City's fault. When Gudogan gone and Silva is preparing to leave, Man City should not aspire for good thing again because Arsenal are in the market? Do you know how many players City haveost because of big spending power of Man United and Chelsea? Players like Sanchez, Fred, Jorginho, Maguire, Cucurella had their hear set on Man City before Man United and Chelsea bullied them out of the deal.

Henz81:
Arsenal was not the second highest spender last season

Who was the second highest spender then if not Arsenal that spent 190 million pounds in Summer and 60 million pounds in January?

Do your research before you respond. Arsenal bought Trossard, Jorvinho and that Poland defender with about sixty million pounds or more in spite of Zichenco, Jesus and others they bought in Summer totalling 190

My list contains :

1. Messi
2. Pele
3. Maradona
4. C. Ronaldo
5. Ronaldo Delima
6. Johan Cruf
7. Beckanbuer
8. Zidane
9. Ronaldinho
10. Maldini

This Arsenal Coach needs serious schooling. Gabriel Jesus is not comfortable as a top striker and you bring another player that is not comfortable as a striker or as a midfielder. Arsenal may struggle next season if care is not taken.

ofuonyebi:
i know that aside Pele & Maradona...
the only person to compare with C-RONALDO is Messi

But with the kind of records this man at his age....C-R7 is still breaking in the world,
it is unarguable that he remains the best of all time

still counting even at 40...
that is the rear stuff that great champions are made off..

congrats on the unbelievable soccer achievements!!!

He is just a goal scorer like Lewandowski but very consistent in his trade of tap ins. Real football resides in Messi. Go to any site where they are rating greatest footballer, messi will either be first of second, you can never see anyone that will place Ronaldo ahead of Messi in footballing world. They are not the same. Ronaldo is a great gool scorer, hence he has won plenty trophies and goldden boots. Messi is the greatest player, hence he has won trophies, higher than anyone, won golden ball higer than anyone, won golden boot higher than anyone and won golden balls too including national team tournament golden ball and clubs together with ballondor higher than anyone. Argue all these lets see how deep you are in football.

Beverlyjean:
Psg have been winning league titles for years and will continue to win league titles cos there is no competition in that dead league.... ur fraud pulled them from back to back UCL finalists to R16 exits ...no wonder the fans booed him out of France...he came to destroy their team... barca rejected the fraud as they are now doing well without the fraud ....reason he ran to play against women in transgender league to stat pad 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂

PSG did not win league a season before Messi joined. Lille won it if you don't know football, ask questions. PSG lost another league to Marseile or Lyon in the last five years too. That made them sack their coach them. Dont just forment rubbish on the public forum like this without fact-checking. Boing Messi is their usual custom, even for their coach, no matter what you win, if you dont win Champions league, you are a gunner. Juventus win league eight years consecutively until Ronaldo joined them. If you had mentioned this alongside Messi or how Ronaldo has never scored in the knockout of World cup, we will take you serious. Or when Ronaldo win tournament golden ball for his country, one will take you serious.

SerikiFulani:
The greatest,most influential and the most consistent sportsman of all time 🔥

No one is as consistent as Lionel Messi from under-age football to world cup. If you are looking for consistency, go and look for who play total football and won everything instead of who is after goals and won decently.

Messi has played highest number of finals in his career, won many and lost few. He remains the greataest

GodSaklek:
2010 world best that was awarded to messi instead of sneidjer

Greatest robbery that no one will forget was actually. Ronaldo won nothing that year. In all the year Mesi won Ballondor, he never go trophyless but Ronaldo won nothing and won Ballondor.

[quote author=Seunfretty post=123743976][/quote]Guardiola did not spend much at Barca and Bayern Munich. Why do you people like to spew trash.

His six years at Barca and Bayern was not up to 500 million pounds. You can't compare what he spent that time to Madrid and Chelsea who were the top spenders that time.


His first season, he only bought Keita and Alves. Got Pique for free and won treble after selling more than 11 players. He s sold Hleb, Ronaldinho, Deco, Belleti, Guily, Zambrotta, Van Brochost and many others.

If you don't know football, go and learn it before coming to public space to wobble.

Universe8888:
Mourinho is an elite coach who has done it with big teams and little teams too.

Pep should same thing if he is good as you say he is.

Besides, SAF you mentioned is the coach with the highest titles in the world compared to Pep who doesn't have up to three quarter of his.

No hates on any of them but I love Mourinho more.

Pep goes where he can always be celebrated while SAF retired when the ovation was still loud.

Pls don't quote me to say rubbish. Tink first before you comment.

You don't even know football. Pep has won more than 30 trophies. He has won 35 now in just less than 15 years. How may troohidid Ferguson win in 40 years? less than 50. Now go back to do your maths and see. The one you typed before showed that it's either you don't know maths or you just decided to be illogical

Breastfeed:
Wow, 300 million is really huge, but how much have they spent?

The money gotten from trophies is more than net spent already already. Guess what, they are the most valuable team in the whole world now. Something they could only dream of ten years ago

As if Lukaku was that useful right from group stage to semi final. He has been a sub till yesterday and the Dzeko has been a goal maker for them.

sprints1:
nice bro. U sabi ball. I admire your analysis. Football died a long time ago. It is hard to watch football these days ans I enjoy yesyerday' match was an obvious to the extent fabregas said in an interview he is fed up with elite football they have turned footballers to robot. The game is not based on talents anymore. They have turned soccer to EFootball. The last time I enjoyed EPL was in 2015 because of two things Dimitri Payet and Leicester style of football that season. Amazing free flowing counter attacking football. Reminded me of 2007/2008 Man utd side. Bro not to lie you most times I go to YouTube to watch old games and fantastic players I used to admire when o was young the likes of viduka harry Kewell micoud, Lincoln zidane dinho ronaldo de Lima Carlos, rivaldo, Romario. Even aguero when he left I almost cried because football has lost another great talent. Currently speaking I can't even mention a talented player in world football right now at his peak. Neymar is past prime. Guardiola is an outstanding coach but after spending over 1billion to win UCL I can call him the greatest.

Tell United to hire a good coach that spend wisely like Pep. The one you have spent since Guardiola came was more than City. Remind me of the ones United have spent.
