akinalabi: What has been happening? I've been watching Ghana
Honestly. . . . . . .We should sack Fergie How can we concede to Arsenal at the Emirates? If we had Ronaldo, we woulda beaten Arsenal 12-0.
Rooney is wack, Nani is shyte, No Ronaldo. . . . . .No Man Utd. Vidic should be sold, Rio Ferdinand should be shot. Evra is a piece of shyte and Fletcher should never wear the RED shirt again.
nateevs: Why should he play two in front when he knows Arsenal will dominate the midfield?
Which stupid midfield can Arsenal dominate? Playing Scholes in the midfield means Fergie has already surrendered the midfield to Arsenal. If you are going to surrender the midfield, at least support Rooney with a striker so that Vermaelen n Gallas will have 2 players to worry about.
Rooney will get Bleep all support today and he will be so frustrated i can see him getting sent off.
Is Ferguson going senile? What is the meaning of this team selection? No Nemanja Vidic? No Anderson? No Berbatov? I might as well go n watch Ghana V Egypt.
Nonsense!!! What is Scholes doing in the midfield when he must face the pacy Song, Denilson and Cesc? Why not partner Wazza with the locksmith(Berbatov) to open things up. . . . . .
nateevs: Arguing in the favour of the first point will make you correct on Messi. . but the latter makes Ibime correct.
Nani even now (2 years later) still is the [b]ONLY [/b]player I know in the world that has the potential to be a Ronaldo.
Ritchboy copped F9 in English Language. Don't expect him to grasp the basics of the language. . . . .A parrot will solve 6 X 6 matrix with Gauss Siedel before Ritchboy will understand anything. How is Nani not a perfect Ronaldo clone? Check his movement, dribbling and rocket shots and even the crosses. . . .
ritchboy: Sauron of course you, like a screw-driver, do not have a brain! If u think Robben PASSES the ball as well as Giggs, u should be stoned to death by military-trained gorillas in broad daylight.
ritchboy: Sauron you have the brain power of a fairly-used screw-driver.
Within a period of 4 hours, you have shown gross ineptitude and lack of brain coordination. With one side of the mouth. . .Sauron has the brain power of a used screw-driver and on the other side, Sauron does not have a brain. U can't make it up. . . . .Ritchboy is a military-grade DOOFUS.
nateevs: The guy defends well and tbh that's all I am concerned about. The British press suddenly have their own "Tiger Woods Saga" . . You bet they are going to milk it dry with new, true and also buckets loads of fabricated stories. . Just to sell one more paper.
What JT did is a disgrace. . . . . .
How many times are we going to read something negative about Terry? His mother is a petty thief(She was caught stealing eggs in Tesco)
His father is a drug fiend(he was caught arranging cocaine for some dealers) Terry himself had intimacy with a teenager(autograph hunter) in his Bentley
Now he had an affair with Wayne Bridge not to talk of the number of times he's been caught binge-drinking and vomiting in the club. Enough is enough!!!!
nateevs: I guess that's probably because most times you have no points. As at two years ago, Nani was the only known player that had the potential to become Ronaldo! And Ibime was right to say that . . . THEN!
If you think that's wrong, then name one besides Nani.
Arguing with Ritchboy and expecting him to make sense is asking a lot from him. Nigeria will send astronauts to the moon before Ritchboy can ever make sense with his overused megawatts diss.
Akolawole: Must New Coaches be given Time to built his own team? If that is so JM deserve to be given time at Inter too a la goose and gander theory.
Jose can have all the time in the world to build his team, he can NEVER win the UCL. Let him continue to win Serie A. . . . . .something Manicin got tired of winning. Coach Onigbinde will win the Italian league with Inter Milan. By default, Inter can win Serie A with no manager.
ritchboy: Sauron you have the brain power of a fairly-used screw-driver. Ibime's initial comment was Nani is the ONLY player that can be as good as Ronaldo, then you made it even more ridiculous by changing it to "play like" Ronaldo. But the same ape called Ibime still said Eden Hazard is now the "new Nani" who plays like Ronaldo.
Screw-driver has no brain. . . . . U have already proven to be a classless vermin by that statement alone. Players will always be compared to other players. We have heard of new Maradona, little Kaka, little Zidane, etc.
Yall put one silly opinion on-top the other till it makes even the stupidest of men scratch their heads. Nobody cares who a player "plays like", what matters is how well the player plays, simple. You say Nani plays like Ronaldo yet he's the worst winger the EPL has ever known. Why am i even arguing with a 5 star slowpoke who says Robben passes the ball as well as giggs?
U musta missed Robben's escapades in his debut season @ Chelsea. Letz even assume you couldn't watch him on TV then cos you were based in the village. . . .R u blind now to see what he's currently doing at Bayern Munich. Stop making a nincompoop out of yourself every time. Seriously, ALL GAYNNERS ARE PLONKERS.
ritchboy: Sauron if your stupidity is converted to mega-watts, it will solve Nigeria's power crisis indefinitely. I never said Nani didnt have the potential to be as good as Ronaldo. . . But when u say he is the ONLY player that can become as good as Ronaldo, u should be quarantined in a form-fitting cage.
I said Nani is the ONLY player in the world that can replicate Ronaldo. It does not mean other players cannot be a Messi or an Iniesta. You are a disgusting troglodyte with a spider-brain who cannot decipher simple English language. The only player who struts around the pitch like Ronaldo is Nani. Same movement, same dribbling styles, same swagger. Learn to read very well before posting instead of shooting your c[i]u[/i]nt-bucket of a mouth ceaselessly.
Messi doesnt have to "play like" Ronaldo to be better than him. Is Ronaldo now the God of soccer who everyone must emulate? No two players can be exactly the same. u said messi cant head so he's not like ronaldo, can robben pass the ball like giggs? Can he take set pieces like giggs? Is his finishing even close to giggs'? Two players can have some similarities but they can never be the same, ID.IOT!
Look at this cretinous vermin. Can Robben pass the ball like Giggs? Yes he can. Educate yourself and watch the Bundesliga and see how Robben weaves/turns week in week out for Bayern.
He can finish, he can take set-pieces and he possesses other football skills. . . . .With time and maturity on his side, Robben can be great. 2 players can have the same set of football skills, you goat. Ashley Cole/Gael Clichy presents a classic example but a bufo like you won't notice.
Sauron walks hand-in-hand with ignorance and they have a daughter called Ibime
Rambo ko, commando ni. Where were they when United sodomised Arsenal 1-3 at the Emirates last season. If Fergie plays the triumvirate of Anderson-Carrick-Fletcher then Arsenal will lose with a wide margin.
Ujujoan: ^ You can keep telling yourself that if it makes you happy, but I can tell you that 9 out of every 10 guys takes it for granted if a girl makes d first move. Some get disspointed, some lose respect for the girl, some even get suspicious!
A man will be daft not to suspect Naija women. With all the things you see on Nollywood, Naija women should be handled with care.
Ibime: Actually, I've heard that Debo is quite competent at applying Taylor Series to solve Partial Differential equations such as Navier Stokes.
Debosky is an i[i]d[/i]iot savant. He is an intellectually disabled person who exhibits extraordinary ability in mathematics but if you switch the discussion to anything else, he is a twit.
platinumnk: LOL, thank God lol Im waiting for Sauron to come down so he will stop complaing about not seeing enough ikebes In the South, where its the norm , lol personally[i] I think its in the water [/i]
Sauron is now allergic to ikebes. I swore an oath to celibacy 2 weeks ago.
It's not easy being in Tevez's position – I should know(Andy Cole)
Imagine this scenario: you're in the second leg of the League Cup semi-final, playing against Manchester United, your former club with whom you won the Champions League, and then you score a goal – not a bad goal at all, as it happens – which at the moment you score it looks like it could help you to reach an historic final.
For 2010, read Carlos Tevez, who fits the above description. For 2003, read me. I was in precisely the circumstances described seven years ago. I'd left United, with whom I won the Champions League in 1999, and was playing for Blackburn Rovers. We were in the Worthington Cup semi-final, second leg, after a 1-1 draw in the first leg. Early in that second game I scored to put Blackburn 1-0 ahead on the night and 2-1 up on aggregate. Happy days? Never assume that against United.
We lost 3-1 on the night, as did Manchester City on Wednesday. We were turfed out of the tournament by United then, as City have been now.
So what can I say to Tevez this week? Been there, done that, mate, and you'll learn that it's never, ever, ever going to be easy playing against United at any time. And when you're a former player it's even harder. Because you know they'll probably stay as the top dogs and you'll be someone who has left all that behind.
We will come back to Wednesday night's match in a moment, and what a magnificent advert for the English game and for football in Manchester it was, especially that second half.
But on the subject of being a former United player, you do tend to learn that leaving the club means leaving an awful lot behind. Even among those relatively few players who have later scored against United with a new club, as I did for Blackburn, few if any will have the last laugh.
Sir Alex Ferguson mentioned some former players on Wednesday who he'd recalled scoring against United after leaving: Peter Davenport, Norman Whiteside and Mark Robins.
I can cite more recent examples. In the same season I scored for Blackburn against United, so did Henning Berg, in the league. What happened next? United won that game 3-1, and then won the title.
Before that, Paul Ince famously scored for Liverpool against United in a 2-2 draw towards the end of the 1998-99 season. What happened next? Liverpool ended up trophy-less and we at Old Trafford won the Treble.
Back in the mid-Nineties, Mark Hughes scored for Chelsea against Alex Ferguson's team. What happened next? Chelsea ended up losing 4-1. In fact during that season, Sparky's Chelsea played us three times, including in the Cup, and we won the Double.
So being a former player against United does not give you any great chance of success. All the examples above suggest the opposite. Tevez knows that, for now, first hand.
I still think he's a footballer of huge quality, fit for United, and he showed that with his dangerous play and his goal on Wednesday. The star of the show, though, from where I was sitting, was Wayne Rooney. There was some buzz in that crowd, and when Rooney headed that late deciding goal, it was fantastic. But then you would expect nothing less from a derby.
Wayne's contribution was solid, turning to stellar when it was needed, which is what marks out truly great players – finding the magic required at the right moment on the big occasion. Aside from his winning header he was key to setting in train the move that led to Paul Scholes' opening goal, via Ryan Giggs and Michael Carrick.
Near the start of the season I wrote I could see Rooney being freed, creatively, by the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, rather than crushed by the pressure of having to assume his duties. So it's proving.
I hope Tevez dies with multiple heartaches tonight. What a w@nker of a Judas. . . . . .Rooney made him look exactly like a Tarado.
