Lol Doc, the argument no dey ever end na why I dey like excuse myself from the argument.

Leyqute:
But if he’d scored you’d be updating us with his total assists and goal stats na…. To cover up for his 0.2 league goals

How many times have you seen me talking about Messi's performance here?

It's you guys that started dragging him that's why when he scored against City I came here to ask if Dias and Laporte are farmers...

Messi is the greatest for me, if you think otherwise then that's your opinion, stop trying to drag me into a never ending debate, I no get time to waste...

Leyqute:
Spoken like a true Nigerian politician.

Dem ask you about apples, you dey talk about pawpaw.

PSG won and that's what's important to me but if you rather talk about Messi and the penalty miss then that's your headache...

WikiGuru:
This is my first comment here, in over two years.

You are so very far from the truth if you claim that this bridge connects Nigeria with Cameroon. The bridge begins from the other end of Ikom(Ikom town) and merely crossed the Ikom stream, linking with Yala Ikom and heading to Obubra. Just stop misleading people here. I know this because I am from there. I lived in Four-Corners.

The guy is referring to the new bridge linking Nigeria and Cameroon which was financed by AFDB. The Bridge is even at Etung and not Ikom however, you are right on this one, the bridge in question leads directly into Ikom main town and has since been completed. It's very beautiful.

Note that this bridge leads to Cameroon and would increase trade between Nigeria and the neighboring country.

I remember the noise made over the Railway leading to Niger and how some people ignorantly said it was due to tribe. I guess the people here are also Fulani.

The Bridge you are talking about was financed by AFDB or thereabout and links Nigeria to Cameroun however, the one the Op is talking about is different, it leads directly into Ikom main town.

Ayade has done well. Been to various places across Cross River so I can attest to this.

The Bridge has nothing to do with Ayade. The funding is from Sukkuk bond and it has since been completed.

It'd appreciate if you can tell us what exactly Ayade has done and done well...

Datboredberry:


Ofcourse...

Kindly fu** off to the sports section... I'm sure your brothers there are fighting tooth and nail for bet odds...

You definitely have not perused through that section especially the threads of the very big clubs...

Some of the most intelligent folks on Nairaland’s can be found there...

Replace Liverpool with Man Utd and we'd lose the game...

Van Dijk is what we wish Maguire to be...

Van Dijk has been fantastic like the colossus that he is...

obiekunie01:
see how ndi ugwu just take southern people head dey play kalo-kalo!

The idiot shehu was emphasing on amechi\s recomendation of a Buhaari's choice candidate to use that to make souths beleive that amaechi's opinion is what maters to bubu so we will not look at the FACT THAT ALL THE PORTS ARE IN THE SOUTH AND YET IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN HEADED BY NORTHERNERS!

NOW SEE HOW THE MUMU SOUTHERNERS ARE BUSY DEBATING WHO IS BUBU'S CHOICE CANDIDATE WHILE THE NORTHERNERS ARE LAUGHING THEIR ASS OUT!

SOUTH IS THE MOST FOOLISH REGION IN NIGERIA!

FEAR NORTH AND POLITICS!

You are spot on...

They are only using Amaechi's name to avoid any possible backlash from the South...

LostMyZeal:
Oh, so realistically, he's won just 3, eh

Deep revelation

Go and collect his 4th medal na...

yemite100:
I was not even allowed to talk,. I tried to explain myself but was forced out of the community...

Are you sure the chairman has not gotten reports of your confrontational approach before the said incident?

I have had experiences with some vigilantes, I know some of them see it as a channel to make money by demanding for money before allowing people in.

If you were polite in your approach and still got fired, then I must say I feel your pain but if the reverse is the case, you should learn a lesson from your experience.

afrodoc2:
Wicked messianic faithfuls. They won't confirm news for those of us without cable.

afrodoc2:
Is it the same leg that missed the penalty?

Why didn't you bring the crunch penalty miss to our notice na? Very wicked of you.

Elampiro said Messi has missed the most penalties in Champions League history. Can you categorically confirm or deny this?

I can confirm he has won 4 UCLs and starred in 3 of the 4...That's legendary and that's all that matters to me...

afrodoc2:
Nobody is passing judgment. I am just pained at the wickedness of Messianic faithfuls that knew about the crunch penalty miss and refused to alert the rest of us that don’t have cable.

O wrong nau!

Oga Patrick!! O wrong nau!!!

I brought to your notice the win...1 leg in the quarters already...

elampiro:
But when we said change club, change country, we only wanted to check something.

Does that make Giggs, Totti, Terry and the likes any less of the legends they are?

Odunharry:
Lol. People need to go back and watch that match again and don't make judgement based on the missed pk.

Agenda must agend na.

afrodoc2:
Please stop this. Oga Patrick and other Messianic faithfuls won’t take it easy with you.

Messi has paid his dues, even if he does not scored again until he retires, his name is already written in the history books...

afrodoc2:
So Messi missed a crunch penalty and Messianic faithfuls didn’t alert us?

Patrick why na?

PSG won...

Leyqute:
Here’s what you’re overlooking:

When Man City were breaking the bank to improve their squad, SAF was saying there’s no quality player available in the market.

You can’t say x and y club have spent the same amount of money in the last Z years and so Y has a better coach because they’re doing better.

It’s deeper than that.

City spent and spent to build the squad that they have. If they had a recruitment process like United’s, believe me, they’d have spent x2 or x3 what they spent.

But despite their shrewd recruitment process, eemind me again who broke FFP rules, got banned, and then everything was swept under the rugs?

I do not dispute that our recruitment process is flawed especially when it comes to appointing managers. Moving from Fergie to Moyes to Van Gaal to Mou to Ole and now Rangnick is crazy, they're all managers with different footballing ideologies and they were allowed to sign their own players which therefore means we have spent quite a lot but it's just to suit each manager as they immediately go back to square one when a new manager is appointed.

My issue now is that irrespective of our flawed recruitment process, we still have in our ranks one of the most talented squad of players in the league thus we ought to be playing better and we currently are. You can't possibly say Brighton have better players but they play far more exciting football than we do and that's down to the coaching and tactics of the manager...

Going forward, the choice of who gets the job in the summer will go a long way in showing if we have really learnt valuable lessons or not...Hopefully, they listen to Rangnick because from all indications, he definitely have an idea of how we should be playing going forward but he just can't seem to implement it and that's where a progressive young manager like ten Hag comes in.

People don hammer money for this Procurement...

TrebleChamp:
They know this chief, they just want to start another OleOut and Olesexual war ....

And I am having none of it...

Leyqute:
What you’ve said makes sense on some level but you’re overlooking some factors which play important roles in the grand scheme of things.

1. My point has always been that City has a better squad than United. They have more quality players than we do. That’s the fact.

It’s not about substituting one player for another one. It’s about how everyone work together in the team.

Sometimes squad and team is used interchangeably. But it doesn’t mean that team = starting XI

2. You said coaching was the reason Man City is gelling well. That’s true to some extent, but not 100%.

As a coach, your job is made easier when you have an abundance of talents at your disposal. And city has that.

How can they afford to have KDB out for like 4-5 months and they couldn’t even feel his loss? There were quality replacements.

City can have 2 key players injured and they’ll be okay.

United cannot have Varane and Bruno injured for 2 months. Na wahala.

3. Even when city don’t have players injured- if they’re out of form, they have enough quality who will step up.

At some point, Sterling, Mahrez, Jesus and the rest were out of form. But Foden, Gundogan and B. Silva stepped up.

At United it’s either Rashford or Sancho. And we’ve been waiting for Lingard to step up for the last 5 years.

And what about the midfield? Pogba, the quality inconsistent midfielder that we have, who will step up when he’s injured or having his inconsistency bout?Limao.

4. You see, all these- all what I’ve said is because City has a better recruitment system than United.

Apart from having shrewd scouts, they’re always ready to break the bank to get their number one targets whenever it matters.

All of City’s defenders cost at least 40-50m pounds.

Because that’s where they needed reinforcements the most. Some of their defenders even broke transfer records.

And guess what? They’ve done this for the last decade or so.

You know the sorry state at the helm of affairs at United.

I don't agree with the bolded because we have spent a fortune on our defence...

I agree about their recruitment process, they seem to go after players who are confident on the ball whilst we appoint managers with different philosophy hence they sign players who fit into the style of the managers rather than the style we want as a club (do we even have a pattern of play?)...

A good system and coach gets the best out of players (not all but majority)...You can see how Pep has moved B. Silva to the middle where he operates as a CM/AM depending on the flow of the game. You can also point at Foden and Sterling who have improved their games or are deployed to positions where they're most effective under Pep...

6 Crates of Your fav brew at Atekong big man

Hehehe No wahala bro.

Leyqute:
Story. Man City get better squad than Man Utd or nah?

In one sequence you will argue that Bruno is better than KDB, De Gea is better than Ederson, Ronaldo and Cavani are better than any City attacker...It's also common to find Manchester United fans argue that Sancho is better than Grealish, Pogba is better than Gundogan, Varane is better than Dias etc but in another twist, you guys will claim City have a better squad...

The thing is simple, City have a better team as they function as a unit irrespective of the personnel selected however, we are probably on par or not far off when the strength of individuals in the squad is analyzed however, we have not been able to collectively function as a unit like City and that's the major difference...

If you think otherwise then it's obvious that you have not paid close attention to our signings and performances over the years...Varane can't be shit all of a sudden same with Sancho, Ronaldo etc We are just a team of individuals which is why we often struggle...The day we get a coach that will have us playing as a well drilled unit is the day we will start challenging again...

As e be now, even if we sign Mbappe, Haaland, Hakimi, Kimmich etc we will still struggle to win games convincingly...

Leyqute:
Na patrickmuf bin dey talk that thing that year.

When you see the players we have, shouldn't we be playing much better?

Abi you want tell me say if Pep coach this our team we wouldn't play much better?

Looks like Marian. Those are the regular street kids called Skolombo...

ChristoBam:
Almost bought Longstaff for 50m.

I kind of feel the idea behind Ole chasing British players was to ensure the press protects him and he got it...

I can't think of any other reason because it's not a DNA thing or whatever people want to call it after all...Fergie had a good mix of British and foreign players who were mostly top class and were the best players in the team but Ole in his wisdom foolishness was after average Brits...

Ellexy:
Ole deceived us, we believed he was building a world class squad that when he get sacked the next manager will inherit and win things

That man used vibes to scam us in the name of squad building

I questioned his signings here but some of us here thought otherwise...

Maguire and AWB are just not good enough for a team that is up for a serious title challenge...

James has since left the club, the jury is out on Sancho and Varane whilst Bruno has been worth it...I think Varane and Sancho will come good...

In all, the annoying thing is that Ole brought in expensive players who have not improved the team...

Ayoefa:
Rubbish, you run for an office for years without having intelligent and capable people in mind that you want to run the govt with you.
Just another waste of time, effort and resources.

Exactly my thought...

Soludo can't possibly say he doesn't have a list of people he wants to work with...This move however pleasing is just to score cheap points...

izzou:
[color=royalblue]This is just a subtle reminder that our outstanding has finished

Aresenal has two outstandings

Tottenham has three outstandings.

We may probably end up 7th when everybody don do check and balance

You're crazy...

Rashford, Maguire and Shaw should not be starting...

Telles, Elanga and Lindelof/Billy should take their place...
