Honestly, i'm trying to be positive here, if we had qualified we'd have been knocked out by any of the teams topping their group...
An extended run in the Europa league would see our youngsters amass a lot of experience and hopefully next season we'll return back to the UCL a lot better...
Was particularly pleased to see Nick Powell back in action even though i disagree with Van Gaal's decision to bring him on yesterday...

suxkill:
clap for your self!!!

I believe you know that Buhari is an illiterate.

Yeah, but you're under his leadership...

suxkill:
and Buhari is what dude?

The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria...Any more questions?

GudluckIBB:
So the 10 billion jonathan asked Dasuki to convert and share to pdp delgates can actually build one block of housing units in each states of the federation

It is well!

Jonathan is a big disgrace...

Mata behind Martial...We're so gonna pump Wolfsburg tonight...#Believe

I see us destroying the volkswagen arena tonight...It's Manchester United here, not just any club...
Glory Glory Manchester United

We shall see. 8th and 9th are just around the corner.

Remember, Arsenal needs 3 to qualify.

2 goal margin not three...All the English teams will qualify

You guys comment like someone living in a jungle.
Societal laws are not supposed to be a tool of oppression or
persecution.

The main aim of modern law is to promote an egalitarian society
where everyone are treated as equal regardless of their political
powers. That is true justice, not pandering to the whims of
feeble minds who equate barbarism to righteousness.

If you feel you are uncomfortable with that you can simply migrate to
the real jungle or one of the failed states that abounds in the world
where the mob rules or no one cares about law. You will be cheerfully
welcome by your brothers in thought.

Dasuki is innocent until proven guilty.

SMH
If GEJ had won, Diezanni will still be calling the shots in the petroleum ministry as Dasuki would've continued as the NSA...We wouldn't have had our airwaves inundated with news of one ailment or another... No body is advocating for jungle Justice, we just want Dasuki to clear his name before leaving to foreign lands for whatever reason...

Dasuki shouldn't be allowed anyway close to the airport... Still don't get why our politicians are struck with imaginary illnesses once the law is closing in on them...

Shymm3x:
Let's invite our Calabar folks to celebrate with us as well.

Vardy? Unless leicester would let us have him on loan till the end of the season! Don't be deceived by this "indian summer of form" he is currently experiencing abeg! Vardy is NOT united standard LONG TERM!!!

Harsh truth, we've seen the likes of Andrew Johnson, Darren Bent and Most recently Andy Caroll come in and do wonders all in one season...Even Kane has a pack of doubters...Vardy needs to play at this level for at least 2-3 seasons to even be considered worthy of mention...

elampiro:
I think may be is no longer motivated there. That's the problem. Despite this he's always a threat in and around the box.

But for the amount being quoted in the media, i'd suggest we look else where...

sinizia:
Ronaldo was awful yesterday, he had a piss-poor performance, but he can be excused for bailing Madrid out on numerous occasions - something Bale doesn't do!!

And I agree with your CR7's appraisal, that's why I don't even want him back. I'd rather we let him go and find a good player that plays for the team, tracks back and helps out in the defense as well as contribute meaningful going forward. CR7 shouldn't be bought for anything more than 40M!!

For me, $25-30m should be the most we pay, dude is anything but a team player... I agree with you, his best years are seemingly behind him

See analysis na...
It's funny nobody is having a go at Ronaldo for such a bad performance, he only came alive when his selfish instincts kicked in, realising he had to score to be joint top of the chart again...Apart from goals, Ronaldo offers next to nothing... As far as Madrid attack was concerned, only James was up for it but I'm surprise some folks here are downplaying his performance... Bale was bad as was a clearly unfit Benzema...
The midfield was just a poor combo, a casmeiro behind Kross and Modric would have limited the influence of Iniesta, for heavens sake he was the only threat through the middle cos Rakitic was off the paces...
Defense was led down by the midfield...Also, I still don't see how Danilo is better than Carvajal, in attack or defense...
Team should've been
Keylor Navas

Carvajal-Varane-Ramos-Marcelo

Casmeiro

Kross-Modric

James Rodriguez - CR7 - Bale

Barca is definitely the standard...
They've the upper hand over Madrid in many ways...Neymar looks the ideal replacement for Messi but same can't be said about Bale in relation to his ability to replace Ronaldo...
Best weekend yet...

dmcdad:
Thanks for taking back your words.

Sergi Roberto was awesome too

Even without being on the pitch, Messi shits on Ronaldo... I thought Navas was better than De Gea?

Arsenal should just go ahead and do a Chelsea... Useless club

Must admit I underestimated the potency of the Neymar/Suarez combo in my earlier post highlighting the importance of Messi... Awesome performance from the lads...GGMU and Up FCB

Dasuki the deserted NSA...U neva chi anychin

igbsam:
take a chill pill mumu, u wanna fight ? pls go to the next thread and pick up a fight. Here, we discuss football only. Ode!!!

lol the dude thought guys were still down for worthless gossips...I love this thread...

Johnpaul88:
But the only decent team we played while Messi was away were Sevilla and Villareal. And we lost the Sevilla game! I am not getting carried away by Neyboi's performance. Real Madrid in their stadium, brings a new level of expectation, which is nothing we have seen so far this season.
No matter what we might want to make ourselves believe, Messi remains pivotal to our chances of staking a claim in the biggest of games.

For my part, I'll suggest that Messi and Rakitic starts from the bench, so they could play some 30mins or so, depending on how the game evolved. I'm not going to underestimate this star-studded Real Madrid team, no matter how out of sorts their coach can sometimes be. Their first 20 mins against Sevilla the other day was great. We need to be at the top of our game to withstand such .

As a man utd fan first and then a barca fan, i can't help but endorse this comment that borders on reality...Neymar and Suarez cannot carry barca against a full strength madrid team...Over the years, the difference between Madrid and Barca has been Messi and Messi alone, his presence on the right wing is enough to limit the attacking forays of Marcelo thus leaving CR7 vs Alves which i'm not scared of anyway...With Messi, Pepe will be forced out of position in a bid to protect Marcelo and that leaves Suarez with a little bit of space to do his thing...If the clinical Suarez shows up, Barca will win

FBI agent you are...Talk about getting busted

chudionu58:
The singular reason APC E-goats are praising you is simply because you hailed Buhari as continuing with Jonathan's innovations... I thought GEJ was monumentally corrupt? How come the false anti-corruption crusaders are religiously continuing with his policies?? Yeye dey smell!

No, people are praising his objectivity here not what you're insinuating...Barcanista going forward should be easy from here
