Juventus have been outclassed.

ZEBINA sees RED CARD again.
Juve down to 9 men.

tosinaded@:
aiye e mada jare!

pls tell this party party jumpy jumpy nairalanders that music aint about beats alone!!!!

9ice's last album Tradition is for intellects abeg,if u aint feeling sumn wrong wiv u!!!
just like wen peeps tell me 2faces's unstopable was a bad album!
am like common, do u guys know music at all!!!

I get peeved these days when i watch Nigezie and those idiots are all about Owo ati Swagger.
Useless, talentless artistes just trying to feel funky. Their music has no substance, no sense, no story-line.
Ever since Olu Maintain started the whole Yahooze thingy, every naija artiste wanna follow suit. . . .Rubbish!!!

9ice is super-talented. . . . .Tradition is even better than Gongo Aso album.
I dunno why loads of people are saying the album didn't deliver. . . .I like 'Respect Is Reciprocal', 'Gbamu-Gbamu' and 'Anytime'
They are stuffs of legends.

dayokanu:
We copped 2 more points than you in the groups and qualified as group leaders.

I disagree. . . . .U copped one more point than us. . . .U won 3, drew 2 and lost 1(11 points)
United won 2, drew 4 and lost 0(10 points).

We beat Barcelona HOME and AWAY while you were struggling for draws.
Rivaldo, Giovani, Anderson and Luis Enrique were shackled by Bayern

Your performance in the group stage was shyte.
Bayern scored a miserly 9 goals in 6 matches. . . . . .United scored a massive 20 goals in the group stage.

Has he graduated from medical school? Is he a qualified doctor now or still an auxilliary one?  Effenberg and Hassler? The best on England in the last 30yrs cant tie Effenbergs shoe laces not to mention Hassler

Hargo is playing so well but then it's Burnley reserves. . . . .He has pinged several through-balls from the midfield and his swagger has been world class.
Scholes shytes on Effenberg every day of the week.

chic2pimp:
Juve are playing with 10 men.

Who sent Cannavaro message to be rugby-tackling Gera as the last defender?

@ Dayokanu,

Owen Hargreaves is playing for the reserves as we speak.
His touches tonight make Effenberg and Hassler look like Enyimba players.
Hargo will go to the world cup. . . . . .He's like a new signing.

dayokanu:
In the groups we topped y'all beating Barca home and away.

Hehehe. . . .
U lost to Brondby. . . . .United did not lose a single game throughout the competition.

@ Chic2chimp,

Hahahahahaha
Fulham are strangling your Juventus. . . . .
All of a sudden, Bobby Zamora is looking world class against Juve defenders.

ibkaye:
Ahh, that's better

I have nothing against the guy, some amazing music, but on a whole, meh.

Go and buy his latest album then. . . .
He has to be the most talented artiste in Nigeria.
9ice is a genius with the way he plays with words.

@ OMAR
Did you just say France played an entertaining style of footy IN 1998?
They were as defensive as the Italian team of 2006.

Omar chats loads of rubbish.
Nigeria played more entertaining football than France in 1998.
France were over-defensive.

tkb417:
true, i knw it was a dieing minute goal
did Giovanni score at OT?

U mean Elber?
He didn't score at OT o. . . . . Na Salihamidzic score for them.
Result was 1-1 @ OT. . . . 2-2 in Munich. . . . .If it was during the K.O stages, we woulda won via away goals.

tkb417:
exactly
was trying to remember who scored in Munich

i think giovanni equalized in the dieing minutes
cant remember again mehn

Sheringham scored a useless own goal in the 90th minute.
Schmeichel had a moment of madness to punch an in-Player freekick which he missed. . . . .Sheringham wanted to clear with his head but ended up nodding into his own net.
But, we disgraced Bayern Munich that night. . . . . . .Yorke n Cole sodomised Bayern Munich wella.

dayokanu:
Except that they were both silenced by Kuffour at Nou Camp

Except Dwight Yorke scored a sumptuous goal in the group stage in Berlin from Andy Cole's assist.
Match ended 2-2 in Munich though but Yorke/Cole ripped your defence apart.

@ Nou Camp, the service dwindled.
There were no Keane and Scholes and Beckham had to operate from the middle instead of hugging the touch-line on the wing.
It's a disgrace you didn't win that match. Man Utd without Schoes/Keane were like Barcelona without Xavi and Iniesta.

tkb417:
hhehehehehehehehe
i don laff scatter for here

Eboue has a distinct British accent!!!

but dt your UCL get as e be o
u want Bourdeux to enter semi

Bayern and Inter will be classic

Na ESPN do am on Press Pass, nor be me o.
I wouldn't be surprised if it comes true though. . . . .

tkb417:
i have a DVD of that
the 3-3 games?
which of them? Nou camp or OT?

The Nou Camp. . . . . . .Yorke and Cole destroyed Barcelona.
Did you see the one that was wrongly judged offside when Yorke was through on goal?

we can never replicate that kinda partnership again
those guys were monsters

I think it's the midfield.
When you have Giggs-Scholes-Keane-Beckham midfield, you have smart wing play and midfielders who can burst into the box.
The number of crosses coming from both wings was like 40 per match.

Exciting stuffs.
-------------------------------------

Hahahahaha
ESPN don kolo o
They are doing a mock UCL draw.

Barcelona Vs Arsenal
Bordeaux Vs CSKA Moscow
Inter Milan Vs Bayern
Lyon Vs Man Utd

I hope this comes true. I wanna see what Messi will do to Eboue.
Eboue will break into his English accent after Messi musta nutmegged him.
Messi, don't disgrace me, blood. . . . . . I am an African, blood!

@ tkb417,

MUTV is showing the 1999 TREBLE season as we speak and tell you what. . . . .
I don't think there's any strike partnership as deadly as Yorke/Cole combo in the history of association football.
They ripped teams APART with a reckless abandon. . . . .I just saw them tear Barcelona a new butt-hole and spanked Martin O'Neill's Leicester side.

How can we make Berbatov/Rooney work with the same tandem?
This is heavenly football.
Breath-taking!!!!

Wahlai I'll personally drive down to Hackney and Make Sure You Do.

Hackney's still better than that Ipodo area you stay.

debosky:
Reh reh reh. . . Utd is going to be beaten on Sunday. If you like play Andersino as well.

I will eat ma SKY remote if United lose to Liverpool on Sunday.

debosky:
Sharon should stop making daft excuses in hindsight - a few minutes into the game he was predicting an EASY 2-0 victory for Chelski. Now it's all about Essien and co's injuries. Spare me the bollocks.

What bollocks!!!
Every soccer pundit predicted an easy Chelsea victory. . . .We all thought Chelsea would cope well with the absence of their KEY players but they couldn't. Pound for pound, Chelsea should beat Inter Milan but the big players did not perform when it mattered the most.
Only a fool would discount what Essien woulda brought into the game had he played. . . .He woulda murdered Sneijder single-handedly.

Everyone missed players - Balotelli was not even on the bench for Inter, Utd had a weakened defence and still beat Milan and have played virtually the whole season without Bosingwa so stop counting him in this analysis - Ivanovic has more than covered that.

Balotelli? Is he even in their starting XI.
Counting Balotelli is like mentioning Deco. . . . .They are peripheral players.

United started Rio and Vidic against Milan. . . .I dunno which TV you watch these days.
Bosingwa is much better than Ivanovic. Bosingwa can cross the ball - He is a threat offensively. . . .I also know Petr Cech woulda saved the goal Inter scored from.

Double your money   
The global rise of the Premier League   
Overseas rights   
2010-2013  £1.7bn?
2007-2010  £625m
2004-2007  £325m 
2001-2004  £178m

Beckham left the shores of this country in 2003.
The only relevant information there is the 2001-2004 which is £178 million.
Don't twist the facts here. . . . .

Keep your eye on the ball. . . . .Your argument was David Beckham made money for United and i am here to bust that myth that it was the TV money that made the dough for United not David Beckham.
Giving me information of the money made by the the FA when Beckham had already left makes you desperate, i am sure you will agree with this.

This is the KEY!!!!

"In 2001, the Premier League made[b] £1bn from the sale of domestic TV rights[/b] and £178m from overseas rights"

As at 2001, The FA made £1 billion pounds from the sale of domestic TV rights, God knows how much they will be making now.
You are now comparing a meagre £178 milla(almost a tenth) of the funds generated in the UK.
Letz face it, you are a buffoon. The £178 milla is not enough to pay all the match officials in a year, never mind paying football clubs.

The bulk of the money is made here in the UK.
UK. . . . . £1 billion.
Other hundreds of countries. . . .£178 million.

Tosin, how did you stumble on this schitzo?
I am forwarding your name to FBI - they need a smart agent like you to work for them.

nateevs:
Hang on. . . You were the one who came up with the one person thing. You said the difference between JM's success and Carllotti's was Essien's fitness. .  which meant one person. Na you talk am. You didn't say four persons then did you. ?

Essien is the power-house. . . . .Even though he needs the others for maximum efficiency, he is still the main actor.
Chelsea minus Essien will always suffer AND Chelsea + Bose + Cole + Petr Cech minus Essien will still SUFFER.

omar22:
Thats not sky money, Oh gosh, thats the viewing right the premier league sold all over the world,

And who handles the TV rights of the Premier League? NTA abi AIT?
Everything concerning the Premier League goes through SKY. . . . .Read a book.

I deal with FACTS not assumptions
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/manutd/3027443/Beckham-to-sign-100000-a-week-deal.html

£100,000 a week ma black ass.
This is the biggest load of tosh i have read. . . .
This is near the truth but the wages here are even overstated. . .

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/team_pages/england/newsid_1976000/1976699.stm

He signed the new contract in May 2002 and he left in the summer of 2003.

debosky:
History says no one wins the premiership with more than 5 defeats and that has been broken already.

How do you come up with your own falsified history?

95/96 season:
Man Utd: P38 W25 D7 L6 F73 A35. . . . .82 POINTS(Champions).

This game is probably more important to Benitez than even progressing in the Europa league so believe he will do EVERYTHING to make sure his team win.

It is more important to Ferguson than Benitez.
Fergie wants number 19 and he wants to shut ABUs up with the whole No Ronaldo, No Man Utd.

Utd have form and confidence on their side, but Liverpool is getting desperate and desperate opponents are very dangerous.

United have Rio/Vidic/Carrick/Park and Fletcherino on their side.
Those players will die on the pitch for the 3 points.

nateevs:
These fellas were not playing 90 mins in every game and they were not the ones the whole team relied upon for winning games.
They only came in when needed for matches changing possibilities. Don't you get that?
Drogba 32 and Anelka 30 must play. . If they don't, no play. Whereas you have Rooney who scores like it's breathing. He's 24. That's the way a team should be.

U do realise Drogba and Anelka offer so much more than the embryos in Arsenal and the paraplegics in Liverpool?
I am still saying we are making too much noise over this Chelsea squad.
Barely few months ago, the pundits were all saying this was Chelsea's season and creaming themselves over the BLUES BROTHERS(DROGNELKA).
It's funny how opinions change in microseconds.

Yes correct about Maka.
However he game play was about pacy players on the flanks.
After he bought Essien, He won the League and FACup. . hardly any different from what he achieved before.

U should know how difficult it is retaining a league title, don't you?
Well, if you don't know. . . .ask Monsieur Wenger.
Even Jose himself will tell you the 2005/6 was more difficult than 2004/5 when he took everyone by surprise.

If one person goes injured and the team goes to sleep, does it not tell you a lot about the team.
Meanwhile the guys who aren't injured are on a 130,000 a week.

One person?

Bosingwa
Essien
Cech
Ashley Cole

Nateevs, i just counted 4 members of your starting XI.

omar22:
each team gets £19m a season NOW and it was lower 15 years ago and its been shared equally, United were one the first teams to float themselves on the stock market this generated more fund for Fergie to smash transfer records after records, ok they won titles but they were pants in Europe and the Premier League wasnt an attractive product to the world,

Each team gets £19 million NOW? You are so ignorant.
A relegating team in the PREM makes more than £30 million now and you are here talking bollocks.
Even in em days, the money Murdoch pumped into the game was higher than what other European leagues had to offer. . . . .

United's success on the pitch brought the dough - coupled with the fact that they are the most supported football club in the world.
Fans kept pouring in, their stadium kept expanding and they were able to tap into the Asian market to sell merchandise.
What has floating the club on the stock market gotta do with being rich? The money United made was generated organically by Man Utd. Simple!

Uptill the end of the 1998/99 season Beckham was on £25k a week, NO IMAGE RIGHT!!!! but after when Roy Keane broke the wage structure by earning £52k and Beckham realised how much united were making, he demanded 90k plus a certain % on image right,  this was the moment when Adidas, Pepsi started rolling in,  dont come here try and make us look silly.

Beckham's wages when he left Man Utd was £50k/week. In that same season, Ferdinand and Sol Campbell were making twice as much per week.
David Beckham rose from the academy. . . . .There's no way he was going to be getting paid like the mercenaries tapped from other clubs.
Stop sounding like a retard - if United's income centred around Beckham, would SAF sell him to Madrid? Do you sell your major source of income?
Fergie even hated the media circus around Beckham. . . . .That was the reason he sold his arse off to Madrid.
United's wealth had nothing to do with Beckham - Fans/TV money provided the wealth not Beckham.

As at 2005 Real Madrid had the highest turnover in football, the #23 real Madrid shirt owned by Beckham selling more than Zidane, Figo, Raul and Ronaldo all together. In the first one month of Beckham arriving at Madrid Real Madrid sold over 1 million tops at 72 euros each was frightening, and every new sponsor deal Beckham signs whilst at Madrid, the Club is entitled to a certain percentage.

Highest turnover does not make you the richest. . . . .Stop talking like a goat.
A club's wealth is basically defined by the value of the club not their turn-over.
United are twice the club Real Madrid are in value. . . . .So Omar was successful in a single financial year making $1 billion whilst Aliko Dangote made $600 million in the same year. . . . .Does that mean you are RICHER than Dangote because of the report of one single financial year?
U know nothing!!!

AC Milan and LA Galaxy can not have the same pulling power, because by the end of 2006 Ronaldinho was the highest earning player in the world meaning the tide was shifting away from Beckham, the main reason Barca could let Ronaldinho go is because the clubs makes as much from Messi as they used to make from Ronaldinho….

You are attaching so much nonsense to this highest earning player bullshit.
Why did Ferguson dump Beckham to Real Madrid if he was the main source of income?
That question alone makes you sound like a classic buffoon.

nateevs:
@Chac
~All that you were saying is crap. Do Giggs and Scholes 90mins every game CL, PL and FA Cup.? How dare you say age is only a number.? Why don't you re-sign Andy Cole then?

We did sign Michael Owen and he won a Cup final for us.
Henrik Larsson nko?

Secondly, when Essien is fit, he can do a lot. . but Muorinho's success was because he had young pacy players out wide. and strong powerful players in defence and he had Makalele. JM achieved a lot even before he bought Essien.

Mourinho's success was because he had Claude Makelele - forget about those wide players.
The number of clean sheets Makelele and Petr Cech copped for Chelsea in Mourinho's debut season was unprecedented.
How wouldn't he be successful? In his 2nd season, he bought Michael Essien - a powerhouse footballer.

Jose won the EPL and the Carling Cup before Essien's arrival.
I wouldn't really say that is a lot in the grand scheme of things.
Chelsea became more powerful with the emergence of Essien as he can do what Makalele did for Chelsea + score goals in the other end.

And Hiddink succeeded because he was a breath of fresh air. I only recently deleted a video of an interview of Hiddink's with Jeff, He said he told Roman that squad is old and it needs re-structuring but they will do fine for now. That was 40 matches ago.

Hiddink succeeded because Michael Essien came back from injury. . . . .
If Hiddink had operated without Essien, Chelsea woulda been found out even under him.
With the way Chelsea are structured, Essien is a very vital component. U miss him, u lose games. . . . no question about it.

debosky:
I'm preparing my second 'I told you so' of the week just for you.
You WILL concede and lose the game - I have confirmed as much from my visit to Baba Dibia.

There's no way Liverpool and Chelsea will win at OT with 8 games to go.
History says United don't lose when they need points in the final lap.

Liverpool won last season because we could afford to drop em points.
Right now, we cannot afford to drop a single point and with the squad back to normal, i pity Liverpool and Benitez.

debosky:
Sharon be a bit realistic - how often will Fergie play both Giggs and Scholes at their age in the MF? He'll always have powerhouses like Carrick and Park in the side as well to do the dirty work, but Chelski have only Mikel doing that right now.

They have Essien and unless you think Ancelotti is psychic, he wouldn't have known Essien will cop a major injury that will rule him out.
Is it just me or sheer coincidence?
I am starting to think the difference between the success of Mourinho/Hiddink AND Scolari/Ancelotti is Michael Essien's FITNESS?

Lack of plan B and the big players not showing up led to Chelski's loss

Chelsea have no problem.
The difference is MICHAEL ESSIEN. . . . . When he's FIT, Chelsea are a different animal.
When he's unfit, Chelsea are vulnerable.

tkb417:
we all will be here on Monday
we aint conceding a goal in that game

We cannot concede with Fletcher, Carrick, Park, Rio, Vidic and VDS playing.
It's highly impossible. . . . .
Liverpool will have to play 5 Torres', 3 Gerrards and 2 David Villas to make it happen.

debosky:
Liverpool will desecrate OT again this weekend - Benitez will put on his kit if necessary to achieve that. 

2-1 to the Scousers. 

The secret is DARREN FLETCHER.

He missed the last 3 games against the Scousers and we lost control of the midfield.
If he plays, United will win. . . . . .No doubt about that.

Torres will disappear like weak farticles once Fletcher starts showing his worth in the middle of the park. . . Alex Song/Diaby became oxygen when Fletcher sodomised em repeatedly this season. . . .Mascherano and Lucas will fade into oblivion.
