Agbara ju agbara lo. Power pass power.

Dem Mossad don really compromise Iranian security sha. The accuracy of their precision strikes no be small.

Na almost all the top men for country Dem don kpai finish.

Omo thank God say FPL no be real life. I just dey collect wetin no good.

Weekly Update: Nairaland FA Cup table after GW27


A little wobble but still on course objective wise

Omo is that super strikaz really collect this season o.

StarchAndBanga:
You deployed wildcard to face me out of fear but your wildcard couldn't save u in the end. You tried by making it a close encounter though unlike our previous meeting

Home and away trashing of Fake Galacticos by the way

Like I said I wasn't even thinking about when I made that wildcard. You had luck on your side.

We would meet again

StarchAndBanga:
Out of fear, Real Galacticos manager, Pamcode deployed his wildcard


Your wildcard won't save u bro. Ur L is sure

Lol who be this man. I wasn't even thinking of you bro.

You really went big on the arsenal assets.

We shall see what the outcome would be though, may be you will be king, maybe I will eat starch and banga for dinner. 😁

Joao Pedro is great finisher. I think airmark will win the Jackson vs Pedro argument sha

If Chelsea no go win this cup there's no need for us to get to yet another final in Wembley just to lose again.


Since the days of Conte in 2016, we have reached 8 domestic finals and lost 7 .


Maka why now?

Unlimited22:
Tbh I'm indifferent

Well Rybakina has granted your wish

I wonder whether Alcaraz will do it again this slam season.

Unlimited22:
Lmao so you sef no like Aryna?

Why una no like sabalenka? Is it because of her roots?

BlueMann:
Eghbali seems to be the main problem. I almost never see his name in positive context.

Brother leave eggbali and co and enjoy the first day of the year.

As we just enter new year, Que sera sera that's our motto this season.

Nihilistjnr, odunharry.

Wishing you both a happy birthday.

May you both see more years on earth in peace, prosperity, sound health and sound mind.


As always my gentlemen drink responsibly 😄

The irony of it all is that the exact same thing Unal Emery did in the first half and got away with is what Maresca did against Leeds and got burnt like dodo in hot oil.

Difference here is leeds made sure they destroyed in that first half and even came out 2nd half with a press to kill any sign of life from our attack.


But darling Chelsea today just dey behave like proper English gentlemen stinking the whole place up with their gentleman style.

E don tey wey match vex me like this mehn

It's unbelievable how we spent so much money on attackers and ended up downgrading the attack.

You want to tell me this gittens is better than madueke on the right or neto on the left?

Garnacho gets into a lot of good positions but what does he do with it?

Na Delap shock me pass. I was expecting a sharky agbero like diego costa who was a bloodhound that was the nightmare of defenders but what do we get?

Man looks more like a model than a footballer.

Unlimited22:
I just dey laugh

A league one winger from Wales was giving him the runaround but make we thrust am into the deepend

Oya na

The guy has prospect but me as person, I don't subscribe to fast tracking young central defenders into the fold because it's a position that needs both experience and intelligence.


Take colwill for example the no of mistakes some of which were costly when he made the first team, was it two seasons ago?

At one point I was confused on what brought about the hype. It took time before he settled in and we began to see his strengths.

Unlimited22:
No worry

Them go give this boy 5 games make una see say him sef still dey learn work

Swears.

Was it not him against league one footballers in the carling cup and every where was like running water down the hill?

I don't know how Maresca wants to do it o but he needs to be giving his wingers more support especially the two idiots - Gittens and Ganrnacho.

Because even with all the space in the world, these dumbos especially Garnacho can't even take on a defender one on one


Put hazard in the position Garnacho was today and we win the game from first half, Bleep it sef put any decent winger with a proper football brain and we win it from the first half.


So many key passes into villa box that died away or failed to become chances talk less of attempt on goal just become of the dummy on the left.


Then as a team out final ball execution has to be better. 4 or 5 good counters today and I think we only executed one well.

1 out of 5 is terrible mehn.

I don't think Arsenal will break that Chelsea 04/05 least goals conceded record and probably will not break the clean sheet record of 23 either.

There's concrete solid sha

Ibime:
Delap had disappointed me so far, I so much believed in him

But not writing him off just yet as he is just returned from injury

He has been so soft when having to do the hold up job. His ball striking is a bit suspect too

Our consistency especially against small teams needs to be better though.

Thats how we did last year around this same period, after coming through a tough period with good results and getting to the supposed easy fixtures that should have seen us at least cement our top four status and at most challenge for the title.

We just capitulated and struggled throughout the season. May it not happen again o

Skimpledawg:
Be like Estevao no wan dey start Match again

Normally the boy suppose dey enter matches Ni . One of the things Maresca got right. I don't think he's prepared for the physicality and dog fights required for small teams that would pack the box against us or use a five man defense.
When you also consider that he doesn't have a full back or at least a midfielder to support him up there then you understand his predicament in this game.


Talking of physicality Delap is looking a bit suspect to me o. Based on reviews he's supposed to be an omo igboro kinda striker but this guy looks more like an upper middle class English gentleman to me o. 👀


We need palmer in that Middle to connect play since leeds have stretched the line to limit our wingers effectiveness.

Spy360:
Isn't this a disgrace of a club?

Moving advertisement board just to counter football played on the pitch. So petty. Irrational. Disgraceful.

Especially when they still lose

Out of curiosity, how does the movement of advertisement boards affect your playing style?

Harry Kane!

Respect man, top top striker.

Omo.

Na inner kroos, Kimmich dey channel for this game o.

iamoyindamola:
We are back, dont tell me you miss deadline

Omo thank God I didn't forget o.
My team just dey shine red and yellow like say I join pride people or I dey celebrate world traffic day.

raumdeuter:
I sold Saka to get Gabriel

Haba senior man. Why?

Saka don port you enter mud for trenches like this 😀

fredoooooo:
Oga Maresca.. na with Horn i wan watch this match .... i just dey come from ijebu ...

Which one Dem give you, madness abi death?

Ibime:
Nah, we should have scored 5 or more this game

I swear.


Spurs are very terrible in this match sha. Norms dem be our whipping boys sha but this performance bad

Wetin dey do pedro and gittens.


Make we draw this match first na that time dem go know say fans dey toxic.

StarchAndBanga:
Pamcode the manager of Real Galacticos, thanks for the 3 points

Kai this gw pain me.

We have mostly similar players, the mumus that were supposed to be my differential e.g Salah proved to be useless.

We go again sha but I don really collect this season o

JobAndVacancies:
Chelsea beat psg and you believed?
Oga that match was sold

Were you the broker?

nateevs:
Forever!

That day was not good fortune. It was a culmination of a series of carefully-planned tactical events. It was a tactical masterclass.

My take exactly. PSG was outplayed throughout the match or at least for most of it.

Our other big finals in the UCL had us either on the ropes fighting desperately for our lives or us getting a huge slice of fortune.

We never dominated like that final against PSG

Jamiuokolaa:
In a glorified Friendly competition?

Yes the very same one where every team involved brought and played their full squad with so much passion and energy despite the timing of the tournament.
