[[b][/b]quote author=patrickmuf post=111137173] All world powers rely on their nuclear arsenal as deterrent.

Talking about modern equipments, I guess you have not heard of the Su-35, Mig - 35 and the latest Su-57 which is a fifth generation fighter jet...Russia has a lot of modern weaponry.

If you think Putin will deploy them in Ukraine then your assumption is wrong. Putin is not about occupying Ukraine, he just want to set them back by 20 years and he is well on his way to achieving that...

Did he also want to set his own country back 20 years because that’s what he did. The Russian economy is in shambles and their currency is almost worthless but you’re saying that this was part of his strategy?

We're all feeling the effects of the sanctions, will you attribute it to the plan of the West?

How much is gas in Europe? Or let's do local, how much is diesel?

Europe is not ready to make do without gas from Russia so the sanctions will be felt across board...

B2Bmen:
spoke man and special adviser to putting on military affairs have spoken. All this mallam abi aboki self!!! Them can dream out of point enh. America will continue to rule over your assh not even 1million putting can stop that.

It's a pity that at this age, you think everyone that supports Russia is a muslim...

KaluwisxPRO:
Even before the War, Russia is still 20years back compared to Ukraine. Nothing in Russia has progressed beyond Soviet Era.

How many of those Jets are on their stocks? Provide data proof. Putin that we all know will showcase whatever arsenal he has in stock.

Mad man showed us Zircon hypersonic missile that is 2years from final production, went quickly to mention the use of Nuclear weapon, but he’s keeping his modern tanks and APC for Zombies to help him market

4 Generals in 4weeks, over 12k dead Russian soldiers, whole150k troops at start of invasion disoriented, begging China for drones, Recruiting 16k Syrian Terrorists, Russian central bank Governor resigned, sacked whole 1k personal staff, detained his own general, gagging the press, purposely shelling civilians, hospital, kids schools.

But you bunch of mad men still think this is the man with any more modern war chest that they’re keeping somewhere.

I see you can't hold a convo without exposing your lack of proper upbringing...

Benny6944:
Of course they might that's the only strength they have. Its now obvious that Russia only have just military numbers not strength. Take it or leave it, their first plan failed when they lied about Ukraine having a biological bombs labs, in order to be used against the Ukrainians, Right now they wanna go nuclear.. haha.. Putin is a coward. He has 75% of his arms at Ukraine still can't take them down in 3 weeks.. 4 of his general died, 9 commanders also.. lol.. very shameful.

Apart from USA playing by the rules, Russia can never challenge USA..

If WWWIII starts today, you and I will surfer it most, not even the world leaders, but take it or leave, Russia will be wipped off from this planet. how many countries can they take down with their nuclear??

Or is it with those 1940s and 50s jet fighters they have will be able to take out Any NATO country hahaha very funny..

USA ONLY NEEDS 20% OF ITS ARMS TO BRING DOWN WHOLE OF RUSSIA

Beer parlor analysis...

KaluwisxPRO:
There’s nothing from the Kremlin that has been honest, everything Putin has said, he has done the opposite. You can tell me one honest truth from the Kremlin with proofs and data of Russian stocks of modern weapons, we’re here to learn.

We all know Us has a policy not to showcase their nuclear arsenal for obvious reasons, they’re not in the art of deterrence or show of power, even against the so called Russian federation.

Putin

[/code][code]

put his Zircon that is nowhere near use on display, but cannot display his modern equipments, he’s quick to go Nuclear, but cannot make same threat with sight of any modern equipments? How much more gullible can any of you guys get?

All world powers rely on their nuclear arsenal as deterrent.

Talking about modern equipments, I guess you have not heard of the Su-35, Mig - 35 and the latest Su-57 which is a fifth generation fighter jet...Russia has a lot of modern weaponry.

Skimpledawg:
Patrickmuf, first of all, how's your health sir? Trust you are improving and doing well.

Do you want to allow your fellow scumrades go away with trolling you when Messi acted as an external invigilator last week?

No sir. We will not take it sir.

I'm good bro...

I can't troll my team. You only see me get involved when they come here with their ridiculous takes...

I'll leave them to lick their wounds in hope that they now understand that you only begin to troll when your house is in order. Reading from them last week, you'd think Ronaldo and Manchester United were already in the Quarters...

By the way, have you seen that Manchester United fan that claims he isn't a fan of Messi or Ronaldo? He led the banter session last week but now Ronaldo is out of the competition, he is nowhere to be found. When I call him a Ronaldo fanboy he will swear he isn't one...

Leyqute, are you not going to troll Ronaldo? Or na just Messi dey sweet you to banter?

Thank God o!

Match day...

Rashford shouldn't start abeg...

I hope McTom is fit sha because we need him in that midfield alongside Fred and Bruno...I wouldn't mind if Pogba is played on the wings tonight...


Hopefully we go ahead and smash Atletico...GGMU

I don't know if it's the rest but Ronaldo was very active for the entirety of his stay on the pitch. At some point, I saw him at the LB position...Best game he has played since his return because away from the goals, he was very instrumental in holding up the ball, winning fouls, defending and helping us retain possession with his interplay...

Another player who impressed me was Fred, he covered a lot of ground and his timely passes forward helped us attack at speed...

Sancho is definitely close to his best, his on-pitch understanding with Ronaldo was a joy to watch...

Pogba and Rashford were not so good...

Eph12, yes he is on yellow...

eph12:
Is he on yellow already?

I think I heard the commentator say he has talked his way into a yellow.

Make I check am sha.

Abeg make Fred dey careful, a second yellow will be bad for us...

donjazet:
Someone who inherited wealth can be totally clean.

In this case, Chelsea is that someone you're referring to...

donjazet:
I have said it numerously and I'll say it again, Chelsea is not roman and Roman is not Chelsea, he's only but a custodian and part of it. Chelsea is an institution of more than 100 years. Here long before Roman and will be here long after him.

One can distinguish between both. Your call for me to boycott the club will be valid IF the situation continued. If with my awakening, the situation continued, then there is grounds for me to personally boycott, but the fact that the club is on its path to redemption, that we'll be done with the criminal very soon is grounds for optimism.
Hopefully we find a good , non-killer, law abiding billionaire. One in the mould of Elon musk or Bill gates or one with inherited billions.

Is there any law abiding billionaire?

You are asking for something that's non-existent...

donjazet:
Look around this thread, see people idolizing a criminal. A thief who stole his country men's resources for himself and acquired initial wealth in the first place by killing rivals in cold blood.

As you are now, do you love tinubu, do you love Babaginda, do you love Abacha, do you love dangote??
All these are people who have partook in the plundering and decimating of national wealth for themselves and their cronies to the detriment of millions of working class citizens.

So if Abacha used stolen funds to fund your favorite club, you will decide to be blind to his kleptocracy?? You will start singing Abachas praises?
If any government now finally decided to bring the hammer down on Abacha, you will call it persecution??

ABRAHMOVIC IS A CRIMINAL.
If you see yourself defending and vociferously supporting a criminal like that then something is wrong with your moral compass. It means you have no right to ever complain about bad leadership.
I was blind, now my eyes are opened to seeing him for what he is. A cynical criminal who used stolen funds to buy hearts and minds.

Will you now go ahead and admit that Chelsea benefitted from the proceeds of corruption thus you rescind any form of membership or support you had for Chelsea?

You're taking a very extreme position on this matter...

Leyqute:


No more heat, no more kitchen.

See as Benzema humble you.

Can't you see I choose not to engage you further?

You are neither here nor there according to you just because you can't stand the banter when it comes so, it's pointless engaging you...

I am sure if it was possible for you to reinvent yourself as one who is not a fan of a particular club but rather a football fan in general, you'd take that option. You want to banter others but chicken out when the table turns because you can't take it...

You are not a Ronaldo fan boy, you don't have a fav not because you don't have but you choose to dissociate yourself from him/them whilst on Nairaland just so those you banter don't come for your head when the tables turn...

Let the likes of Doc, LostMyZe.al and others have their day, we know where they stand and they're ready to be on the receiving end of the banter when things go south not you though...

afrodoc2:
He is not dominating the Ligue 1 with his Fred scoring numbers.

He is not struggling in the UCL either as they have bounced his ass out the door like a club girl the morning after.

Are you concerned now?

I consider this season a failed one for Messi...

I already admitted before now...

Leyqute:
LoooL.

Comrade stay in the kitchen now. No be you dey threaten us with heat before?

When you dey run mouth about Messi and UCL you no know say day of reckoning dey come Abi?

Mr. 2 league goals in 8 months.

k

Leyqute:
Mr. Man keep kwayet.

If Pessi, your lord and savior cannot take the heat, what gives you the balls to think you can stay in the (kitchen)?

And what makes you think I’m a CR7 fanboy? Comrade, are you also blind to my posts on here? Honest question.

Wetin you dey find, no be from me you go see am...

Enjoy yourself bro.

[quote author=Leyqute post=110926090][/quote]CR7 fan boy, are you ready for it?

If I start you'll chicken out as usual so, step aside and let those who can take the heat step inside (kitchen)...

afrodoc2:






See JUICE! JUICY, JUICY SALTY TEARS.

Nyem salt abeg bros. Aka n'ala abeg bros.

Doc getat...

Messi has, failed PSG...

No excuses here...

I hope some of you who are mentioning me won't go all out attack when the tables turn with your cheap attempt at emotional blackmail?

raumdeuter:
Patrickmuf and everyone

Who remembered this post

Thank God for time that shows everything

I remember a time when we used to argue that See the miracle Poch is doing with Spurs, Imagine the miracles he will do with a bigger budget

Dayo, Poch used to be one of my favs but it didn't take long before I realized he was and is a bottler...

ChristoBam:
2 years stand out for Ten Haag in the UCL. 2019 and this year. The year 2019 they had a great run, playing beautiful football. Remarkably knocked out Juventus before losing against Pochetino’s Tottenham. He was tactically outclassed that 2nd leg.

Anything can still happen this year.

So what’s the UCL achievements that’s putting a Ten Haag over Poch?

That Ajax team showed their inexperience that day. They completely dominated Spurs...

I see you want to cling onto that when they met line...

ChristoBam:
Poch was set up to fail by levy but he still managed to do something with that squad. A lot of players in that squad needed replacement and especially in the midfield. They waited till Dembele, Wanyama, Eriksen and co couldn’t do shit again. The ones that were average were never going to get replacements.

The thing is I see Poch doing the same thing at Ajax with that laid down structure. But I don’t see Ten Haag doing the same in Tottenham. You won’t get the best youngsters in the country. You’ll get a few really good players, combined with very average ones and then some youngsters that might not be so good. That’s what you’ll get at Tottenham or United.

As for the style of play, Poch has a definite style of play but he can manage with whatever he has which is what he has done at PSG. It’s not beautiful attacking football like Ten Haag but I think it’s something we can get used to pretty fast.


Thing is, in recent months, I’ve preferred Ten Haag over any candidate. But when I started to think deeply about it, I realized it’s because of the novelty to me. So I wanted to know what’s even the deal with the guy from others. I can see that with you, it’s definitely the beautiful style of play.

I can't get used to Poch, he bottled too many chances at Spurs and at PSG, he has struggled to stamp his authority on the team...

I accept the jury is out on Erik with regards to handling egoistic players but I rather take a punt on Erik as the pros outweighs the cons...

TrebleChamp:
The question is will he be able to manage the overbloayed ego of our players? This could just turn out to be another Andre Vilas Boas and Chelsea players. He is a very good manager no doubt

There's always a question on every managers neck unless you are Pep or Klopp...

ChristoBam:
I don't agree, we played Ajax( Manager was Peter Bosz) in the Europa league final, two years before they had that long run in the UCL. So they were in the ascendance in Europe even before Ten Haag came in. On the other hand, I don't remember Tottenham doing anything in Europe before Poch. Btwn that team Poch took to the UCL final was so badly stricken with zero to little investment of the recent years. So that's props to Poch.

What makes a good team to me is.
40% Manager
40% Players
20% Structure.

With that structure part, we're so far away from that Ten Haag style at United. Like years far away.

Erik ten Hag lost the core of the team after reaching the UCL Semis but he has quickly rebuilt without a noticeable drop in performance.

It's not like hee is doing wonders with world beaters but rather with players who were regarded as flops or not good enough elsewhere; the likes of Haller and Tadic comes to mind. Also, the likes of Antony were relatively unknown and so many others in the present Ajax team. It is this ability to rebuild his team whilst remaining competitive and playing progressive football that I like.

It is noteworthy that he didn't break the bank to assemble such as good team.

Now, compared to Pochettino's Spurs who began to falter when the team began to age especially in defense and midfield. He didn't have any solutions...

Also, I think Erik's team plays better attacking football than Poch.

NB: I am making a case for Erik using Ajax performance against teams in the UCL and not not the Eredivisie where they are a class above the rest bar PSV and to a lesser extent, Feyenoord.

Talking about structure, whilst I accept it is important, I also want to believe if Ole had opted for players who are more technical, the board would have gotten them rather than the likes of Maguire, James, AWB and the likes we have signed over the years. In essence, Erik won't go after big names for the sake of it but players who are technically gifted and can fit into his style of play.

Talking about style of play, with Erik, you know what you are getting and the type of players he will chase to play his brand of football but with Poch, I can't categorically say he has a distinctive style of play. His team's are just there, not excellent and not bad either...

In all, Erik edges it when it comes to ability to guide us through a rebuild whilst remaining competitive as he has shown with Ajax while Poch failed at Spurs.

He also edges it when it comes to playing beautiful attacking football.

And lastly, Erik prefers technical players much more than physical specimens. I think we need a coach that will bring in players who are very technical and that's where Erik comes in.

ChristoBam:
And he got into a UCL final while doing that, which is overachieving expectations.

Ten Haag is also expected to win their league, which is low pressure to me. And go as far as possible in the UCL. He's been in a low pressure environment to me as well.

It seems the only edge of Ten Haag is the novelty and beautiful football.

In the UCL, I will say Erik ten Hag and Ajax are not on the same level with Tottenham in recent times so, I'd give Erik more props for the performance of his team in the UCL over Poch.

Spurs spend more so, it is only normal that they should do better than Ajax but that has not been the case in recent times.

I accept that Ajax are a well run club but then, we have seen players come and go yet the team remain competitive with the only constant being Erik ten Hag and their board. One thing Erik has going for him is how he manages to turn a squad of good players to a functional unit (Team)...No matter how go a club is positioned, the quality of football they play is 70% on the coach and 30% on the players. I believe with proper coaching and a few additions in the right areas, we will be back challenging for titles...

Pochettino will do well in a low pressure environment where top 4 is the goal.

At Manchester United, there's pressure on the manager to win trophies. Top 4 isn't enough if not a huge section of the fan base won't have turned their back on Ole.

ChristoBam:
Can someone please tell me why he/she prefers Ten Haag to Pochetinho.

I'm not making a point, I'm genuinely curious cuz I don't get it and I really want to get it. Most of the things I hear people say are attacks against Pochetinho instead of praises of Ten Haag.

For example, people use the problems Pochetinho have with the powerful players at PSG and say he can't be successful cuz there's a similar type of power play at United. But thing is there's no iota of evidence Ten Haag can control these massive egos as well. Based on my knowledge, he makes use of majorly young players and players that struggled in top leagues.

Erik ten Hag's team plays beautiful attacking football which is in tune with what most top teams play.

His Ajax team lost most of their star players yet were still able to replace them without a drop in performance...

Erik ten Hag's team have not just done well in Holland but also in the UCL whilst operating on a budget.

If Manchester United were a club in Nigeria, I'll make bold to say the players are being owed months of weekly wages but far from it, this guys get paid weekly so, what exactly is the problem?

You can't say it's for lack of talent because we have seen players in small teams who themselves are average footballers do better against City...

At some point, some folks here thought Ole was bringing in the right players.

Gents, Ole brought in Maguire, AWB, James etc...The ones that were good players that he didn't sign, he simply relegated them to the bench...

Now, we have to start all over again...Jeez!
