Amodu Shuaib will succeed Fergie before Benitez!!!

Krayola:
Guardiola commented on the pitch. . . he was not necessarily complaining. I doubt he expects our opponents to hand us everything we need to kick their butts. 

He complained about it. . . . . .and Mourinho replied by saying "Why can't Barca accept they were beaten by the better team?"
If the pitch wasn't an issue that bugged him, why mention it in the post-match interview. Of course, he complained. . . . .
"The pitch was not wet as we like it because they had chosen not to water it, and it is their right to do that," said Guardiola. "But it did not favour our game."

Maybe that's the Man Utd way. . . Complain about the ref, the other team players, the typical germans, etc etc. but we don't like that too much in Catalunya. We like to win based on merit that all can see and admire. If we lose, we live to fight another day 

And yet Xavi berated the referee that he helped Inter win the game.

Krayola:
They don't call me king of the escape clause for nuthin  My ex calls me captain disclaimer.  

Captain disclaimer or not. . . .U thunk WRONG.
Thinking wrongly and saying wrong things are the same thing. The INTENT is the key.

haha. I remember they scored a goal in the 1st minute from some long range effort. Totally forgot about that. Tbh I didn't remember the scores or details of the game. . . but I know only once did they actually get behind our defense and get a chance on goal, and it was for the winning goal.

Rubin played extremely well away from home in a 90,000 capacity stadium.
It's not unusual for Barca to have all the possession - but what did they do with it against the Russian Champions.

Against Inter, you didn't even boss possession like you usually do(until the 75th minute).
If you can get 65% possession against Inter(never mind the 75% you got against Rubin), you will beat Inter 4-0 at Camp Nou.

tkb417:
sodomised epl champions = 4-4 draw

this dude is a disgrace!!!

His head is far buried in his backside.
Man Utd thumped em 3-2 at OT, they won 2-1 at Allianz Arena and yet his team sodomised Man Utd?

tkb417:
another asinine comments- UTD already booked a ticket for the next round b4 the loss to Maccabi
compare that to the massacre from Barca ; get a grip dude, u chat loads of poppycocks for a man old enuff to have 4 kids
grow up or get lost

Massacre from Zenit St. Petersburg is more apt.

Krayola:
haha. I don't recall saying Jose was the best in the world ( I think he may be  up there with the best of them though). I also don't recall anyone saying Jose is the best BECAUSE he beat Pep's barca. I think what people are suggesting is that given his past achievements, and how convincingly he was able to do what other great coaches have struggled and failed to do, one can make a strong case for him. Even when we lost to Man Utd we didn't look so vulnerable every time u had the ball. Inter gave us more problems than most teams have.

Guardiola complained about the pitch, you nitwit.
Barcelona are a possession football team. They need the pitch to be perfect to string things together.
Jose Mourinho knows that and so he tampered with the pitch. I have never seen Xavi look so less-assured about his passes like Tuesday.

Also, Rubin had one chance on goal the whole game, I think. Inter were a threat a lot of the time they had the ball. With other teams we just get it back almost immediately, but inter moved it around fast and with purpose. They didn't come to sell groundnut.

They had one chance on goal and they won 2-1?
This is embarrassing!

dayokanu:
Clutching at straws. Bayern eliminated you so go and suck a thumb or go fellate Duduspace who needs attention right now

It's about time Bayern play in another Semis.
9 seasons of loneliness was enough. . . . . .

Put Bayern in EPL and other teams can forget about the title. Did you see how Bayern sodomised the perenial EPL champs. like they were wikki tourist.

Bayern cannot finish above Tottenham in the EPL.

chic2pimp:
I can see you are high on paraga abi nah weed

And you are high on Nazikanu's pubic hair.

Drunken Fat Ibime   is absolutely spot on.
Modric is nothing but a poor man's Rosicky.
A fully fit and healthy Rosicky shytes on him everyday of the week

Modric compared to Rosicky?
Rosicky is a serial crock. At Rosicky's best, he is worse than Obertan.

chic2pimp:
Don't be silly, I never compared him to Fergie.
Even If I did is there anything wrong with that?

Here we go again. . . . ."He never compared him to Fergie and he sees nothing wrong in comparing". 2 sides of the mouth yet again.
The fact remains it's absolutely retarded to compare Jose Mourinho/SAF in Europe because the UCL format changed after Fergie joined Man Utd.

Until 1997, only one club(league Champion) represents a country unlike today where Liverpool have made every UCL competition in the last 7 editions without winning the league in the last 20 yrs.

English clubs were also hampered with the 3-foreigner rule which was a clear disadvantage and you have the gall to compare managers in the 90s to Jose Mourinho?

You said that he was a useless tactician and I showed you why he ain't.

He is a useless tactician.
Using dirty tactics to hamper visiting clubs is CHEATING.

Krayola:
I think Jose mourinho is a solid coach, however u want to analyse it. U can only coach/manage or beat what is in front of u. U go for the highest paying job at a team of your choice and try to do a good job. All his teams have been competitive and have been champions. I don't know what else anyone can expect from a coach.

I don't think anyone can beat barca the way they did with bad tactics. Especially early in that second half. Most of their balls over the top, or just balls played to get behind our defense, found their intended target. The consistency was scary. I have never seen that happen against pep's team. Usually those balls are just hopeful and our back line just gobbleS them up, but they just knew where to play the ball and the forwardS knew when and where to run Almost every single time.

Make we gree Jose enjoy him praise. I think he deserves it. But should he come to nou camp to be embarrassed he go hia weeehhn 

Your memory must be very short.
Rubin Kazan's coach must be the best in the world to have beaten Barcelona @ Nou Camp having outplayed/outfoxed Pep Guardiola.
Jose won a match on his home soil and now he's a solid coach.   Wonders will never end.

chic2pimp:
Thank You Jare.
Abeg preach that Sharon who thinks Modric's technique is better

You are a tarado!

So David Silva has tekkers because a drunken Fat Ibime managed to see him live at the Emirates?
U have to watch Modric closely to see his techniques. Silva is a joke and should not even be mentioned in this debate.

duduspace:
I definitely see the difference and the obvious question is why the difference? I think it should pique one's curiosity why a man  who won so much when he first arrived should suddenly have such a drought while in the interim he grows the club financially and develops other structures the club didn't have. In all fairness, do you think the likes of spurs, villa and co weren't winning domestic cups at this time? even blackburn within this period won the premiership so it should be obvious by how much the financial magomago by Abramovic and Manure has distorted the landscape.

Arsenal have become an INVESTMENT BANK.
Putting the cart before the horse - Arsenal are a football club first n foremost, every other thing should come after that.
Wenger can make $20 billion income for all i care but if he fails to win titles, he will be adjudged a FAILURE.

Besides that, the money he is saving for the club is nothing near what United make as income and United keep winning titles.
In other words, Wenger has failed in both ends. He cannot win titles like SAF and he doesn't make as much as SAF.
Even the whole Youth Policy is nonsense. The best kids in England are in Carrington not in London.

Now chew on this again, while Arsenal was at highbury, it was valued at 300m GBP, at the last valuation it was worth 767m GBP (3rd behind only Manure and Madrid in the whole world), at that point in time in England, we were behind Manure, Newcastle, Liverpool and at par with Spurs. We didn't have London Colney (a world class training center where the England team trains), the Emirates or an academy of any note. Do people think these things grow on trees? mind you none of all these clubs I've mentioned have done anything tangible in terms of real estate during this period and yet, we've maintained our top 4 status despite all these.

This is embarrassing!!!
United have not done real estate and yet they make more income than Arsenal who invested in some rubbish flats.
On top of that, United still continue to reign supreme off and on the pitch.

Abeg gripe all you want about our trophyless status, it is a right but also remember to give credit where it is due and don't distort history.

Give credits to a useless manager?

The roof will come, and nothing can destroy these structures that are in place, even the media is now waking up to that reality that Arsenal has surpassed all their expectations. I expect us to start winning (and consistently too) within the next 2 years.
It is not unusual if it happens by chance but it is now so skewed and obviously distorted by unsustainable spending that the football authorities can now see the potential dangers or why do you think the recent buzz has been about financial controls?

Start winning in the next 2 years?
I heard the same trumpery in 2006. Heard it in 2007 and also in 2008.
If Wenger does not change, his trophyless run will persist.

The issue is that on the whole, we have not spent as much as the others and most of the savings have gone into building up the club (as the shareholders have not been declaring any dividend), you've got to crawl before you fly and you don't grow the value of a club by over a 100% over a 14 year period without paying for it in some way either by a benefactor injecting funds (which we don't have) or otherwise. If 5 seasons of trophylessness is what we have to pay, then so be it. All things considered, Wenger has done very well for this club.

What did Man Utd pay to grow the value of their club?
Did they wait 5 years in the Premiership era to get things right?

Looking at the Forbes report this morning. Arsenal are the 3rd richest football club in the world.
The operating income is $102 million and the revenue is $369 million and yet they cannot win a single trophy in the past half a decade.

ritchboy:
Sauron
Bellamy vs Ribery? You must be having a laugh. . . Try Walcott vs Robben.

Ribery is all hype no substance!!!!

ritchboy:
Tkb
but Ribery is better than all the wingers in Man Utd/EPL. . .

I disagree. . . . .Ribery is shyte.
Rafael confirmed that weeks ago.

Craig Bellamy shytes on Ribery.

dyabman:
''Robben is more entertaining and i would not change him for messi, he is the more electric player'' Vicente Boluda said.

Robben more entertaining than Messi? How many years ago was this comment made? 2003?
He wouldn't be in the top 5 wingers in Europe.

''There are maybe two or three players as good as Robben in the last 20 or 30 years'' Jol said Hes that good''

There are more than 100 players better than Robben in the last 5 years.
Martin Jol musta smoked woolies when he said that?

At the age of 25 Robben has won 4 league titles in 3 different countries, more than Totti , kaka and gerrard put together. . .
man of the match for 2 of 3 world cup games he has started , can Nanny goat beat that, HELL NO!

Gerard Pique has won 2 CL for 2 different clubs in 2 years - He must be better than John Terry/Lucio.
Ribery cannot clean Nani's boots and this world cup will prove so. Van Persie on the wing shytes on Robben sef.

Lame jokes from a lame Nazi.

2001-----S/final
2010-----S/final

It took 10 years for Bayern Munich to repeat playing in the Semis of UEFA Champions League.
It's a disgrace. . . . .within that period, United got there in 2002, 2007, 2008, 2009.

Eastbay:
Mancs,
Forbes says we're the richest club.So what's the fuss about this debt that these Gaynners keep moaning about?

Man Utd are the richest.
The club's value and the operating income whup any other football club on the planet.

The most shocking news is that Arsenal are RICHER than Bayern Munich.
I dunno if that's a slap on DK or a disgrace to Arsenal who cannot win a title in 5 YEARS.

chic2pimp:
He does not really need to develop players, he simply delivers what is asked of him (wins trophies).

But you foolishly compared him to Fergie - who had to start from the scratch.
Your ability to talk with the 2 sides of your mouth is appalling.

I'm sure Gaynners would rather have him in place of Wengay.

Nah. . . . .Not everyone likes the club prostitution spree Jose is doing.

chic2pimp:
I agree. He is absolutely useless.
Infact he is so useless he is only two wins away from matching Fergie's two European Cups win(Champs Lge) having spent less time in the game. Shiorrrrrrrrrrr

With different clubs where he did little or nothing in the development of the players.
I am sure a goat will come in here and tell us Jose developed Cesar, Zanetti, Maicon, Samuel, Chivu and Cambiasso.

debosky:
Oh one more thing, Arsene has caused Arsenal's longest trophy drought of 20 years - I'm sure that puts paid to any weak arguments that you can come up with to claim his performance for the club clearly being the best thing we've seen since sliced moin moin.

Damn you, Debosky.
I was about typing that when i saw you had already penned it.

duduspace:
@Debo

Here is a quick summary of Arsenal's league position history in the period 14 years pre Arsene Wenger and 14 years post Arsene Wenger. Please read it and then convince me my summation of that period is wrong. Nostalgia is a good thing but thank God for historical data. 
Admit that that we've improved since Arsene, there is no shame in being wrong, and it doesn't turn him into a demi God .We've all been there at some time. I'm sure I'll make a verbal error sometime before the day is done.

The Arrival of Arsene Wenger

97/98     to            2005/2006      ( 9 years never out of the top 2, 3 PL wins and 4 FA cups to boot)   

Along came Abramovic's money and the season of financial recklessness, Emirates stadium move and Arsenal's youth policy.

2006/2007   to          2009/2010      (4 years never out of the top 4)

_{peers about anxiously waiting for Sauron and DK to come and pick holes in  the data}

This data does not prove Pre-Wenger were worse years in that more teams were competing in the top league.
Until 95/96, there were 22 teams competing in the Premier League which means 3rd position then is like 2nd or 1st now.

chic2pimp:
Nah the difference between the two is simple Robben is wayyyyyyyyy better.
Nani's lack of opportunities owes to the fact that he is useless.

This statement is at best retarded.
By the same token, Pique's lack of opportunities in Man Utd owes to the fact that he is useless?
Had Pique not gone back to Barcelona, twats like you would be saying he's dud and reh reh reh.


Ordinary Zoran Tosic that couldn't get his opportunity is killing them in Bundesliga. . . .Ryan Shawcross couldn't get his chance but he's now a top defender at Stoke. All the reserve players in Man Utd including O'Shea and Gibson will start every match in AC Milan and it's a fact!
Would Robben start a match in Man Utd when we had Ronaldo and Giggs firing btw 2006 and 2008? I doubt it.

Had united outbidded Chelsea and landed Robben in 2004, Old Man Giggs woulda retired a long time ago.
Weren't you watching Tonight's match? :
If you were watching, you woulda seen the gilt edge chance Robben created for Gomez only for him to miss it.

Giggs at 31-34 has more tricks and creativity than Robben can ever possess in his bald-headed life.
What do you take Giggsy for? Robben ran to Chelsea cos he knew he wouldn't get many matches under his belt.
As at 2003/4. . . . .Ronaldo and Giggs were streets ahead of Robben technically!!!

dyabman:
An Healthy Robben is the most dangerous man on Pitch , his creativity shytes on Nani. .

Old Trafford. . . .

Robben, 1 goal in 90 mins(playing against 10 men)
Nani 2 goals in 90 mins(playing against 11 men).

The truth is, Nani has not failed yet to contribute abundantly against any Nazi team.
His assist got the only goal Portugal scored against Germany in Euro 2008. . . . .He sodomised Lahm in the Audi cup and won MOTM.
In the CL game in Bayern, his assist got Wazza the first goal and at OT, he got 2 sumptuous goals and was clearly the best player on the pitch.

dyabman:
A lot of crosses that Nani would never ever dream of it. . . search yourself.

Nani copped 17 assists in his first season at Man Utd.
Robben never copped 10 throughout his stay in Chelsea. . . .I dunno his stats in Bayern Munich tho but i doubt it's something outstanding.

dyabman:
I call berbatov - berba-pass . . . yes hes got greater ball technique does that mean he doesn't lose ball possession to opponent?

Very rare.
It's either he gets fouled and referee waves PLAY ON or the recipient is slow to react to Berba's pass. . . .

chic2pimp:
Dude I know exactly what you are saying. . . . . . And again I repeat Berba's technique ain't better than that of Ibra's.
The amount of tricks Ibra's has got in his armoury will make Berba weep.

Ibrahimovic has no first touch. Out of 10 times, he would fumble 6 times.

Also pls stop comparing Drogba and Ibra's technique, he makes Drogba look a Semi Pro.
Lastly Modric ain't even better than David Silva.

Luka Mordric?
You are a goat!!!
Benayoun shytes on David Silva.

Messi can't kill the ball with his first touch? Are you kidding me?

The ones dropping from a high altitude?
Messi is not in that league, abeg. He can do other things 200% but killing it with a deft touch isn't one of Messi's strength.
Do you watch your footie on CRT?

Berbatech ko Berbayaba ni. Abeg make the dude go siddon somewhere jor.

Dimitar Berbatov?
I dunno any player who relies so much on his technique than Berbatov.
His belief is. . . . .If ma ball control is so good, why do i need to run or charge around like a pit-bull?

chic2pimp:
Goodness Me does Sharon actually think Nani is the better player?

I Laff in Nazi

Nani is a better play by a distance.
The difference between the two is the lack of opportunites Nani's had until this season whereas Robben has always been in the lime-light.
Without Nani, Portugal wouldn't have qualified for the world cup. . . .If you dunno, now you know.

dyabman:
Yes hes got spectacular passing ability too . . . Yes he crosses . . Ask Drogba and Lampsy for that. . .

Robben crosses?  
Abeg, show me video clips. He's useless beyond useless in England.

dyabman:
Messi is 2 footed right?

Messi's on a higher plane.
He has other skills that clearly masks his one foot - unlike Robben.

Apart from Robben's cutting in and shooting, what else can he do?
Does he even cross the ball?

akinalabi:
I back Barca to go through but I dont want to hear excuses about yesterday. They were roundly beaten.

Roundly beaten?
They battered Inter to a pulp in the 2nd half. In short, Barca camped in Inter's half looking for the killer pass.
Pique became a centre forward and Inter were just happy to sit back and catch em on the break.

Referee? They should remember Ovrebo

Yes, the referee ruined Barca.
If that was Rooney that got hacked by Sneijder with a penalty turned down, we would be screaming BLUE MURDER.
Sneijder shoulda been sent off for a cynical foul.

Dry pitch? They are sounding like Wenger. Its flimsy. They should be ready to play anywhere, anytime.

When the pitch is dry, it is very difficult to string passes together.
This is why the groundsmen at the Emirates, Old Trafford and Nou Camp spray water just before the game to keep the ball flowing.
We all know Mourinho is a useless tactician. Did he not insist they play a Champions League game on a potato-pitch while at Chelsea?

BlueDiva:
If we put up a poll you'd be the only one voting Nani.
They're in different classes, everyone knows, not even debatable.

I wouldn't be surprised cos there are many resident retards in this zone.

Nani is miles ahead of Robben. . . . .Robben is one footed. . . .Nani is 2-footed.
Bayern n Man Utd clashed. . . . Nani scored 2 goals and assisted one out of the 4 goals United scored.
Robben scored one out of the 2 goals his team got at OT.

Even if you are born a cretin, common sense should tell you who outplayed who!!!

BlueDiva:
You're high again.
What did you drink/smoke tonight?

When the two of them locked eyes at OT a fortnight ago under the same condition. . . .Who outplayed who?
I am not even sure Robben is better than Valencia.

Dr Kitaun:
Truth be said, Inter or Barca would win d UCL

I want Barca to win it. . . . . . .They are the best side in Europe.
Only a fool will deny that.

Hahahahahaha

Van Gaal wan slap Robben o.
Useless Robben acting petulant cos he was taken off.

dyabman:
If Messi is not alive would Robben not be the WORLD's BEST! . . . He is fantastic!

Robben world best? Is he better than Nani?
Robben ko, robbery ni.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Sidney Govou. . . . .Please make me PROUD!!!

chic2pimp:
Berba can only look on in adoration of Ibra's Technique.
I know Ibra does at times play like a dud however don't let that fool you.

See. . . . .We are not talking about his pace or goals here. . . . .We are talking about what he does in a tight situation.
The tricks he's got in his knickers to bail himself out of trouble whether when the ball is dropping fast from a high altitude or when cornered.
Ibrahimovic and Drogba are in the same low echelon of techniques. Modric is a thousand miles better than Ibra for tekkers.

Berbasulk's technique is not I repeat is not better than Messi's.
You say Xavi is useless when the ball drops but I don't see it. Dude's Ball control is superb.
He is probably the most technically gifted Central Midfielder in the world.

The only technique Messi has is when he's in possession and the ball is not further than 6 inches from his boot.
But ask Messi to kill a ball with a touch? You are taking the piss!

Xavi might prolly be the most technically gifted central midfielder in the world but Berbatech shytes on him.

I am not a Barca fan but they were robbed last night.
Mourinho used his strong-arm tactics perfectly and he got the rub of the green.

Inter's 3rd goal was clearly scored from an OFFside position and Daniel Alves shoulda copped a penalty and a RED card for Sneijder(tackle from behind)
Based on those 2 incidents, game might have ended 2-0.

On top of that all, Barca were tired after the long coach ride and i heard Jose Mourinho refused to water the pitch in San Siro.
The ball didn't zip at all so the passes were nowhere. I still tip Barca to destroy Mourinho.

To keep Messi quiet in front of his fans is a big ASK and i won't be surprised if Inter concedes 4 goals in the first 60 mins next week.

Eastbay:
At this rate,Ribery won't end up anywhere but the jailhouse.
Over-rated piece of scar-face cr$p.
Great refereeing, by the way.

That was a leg-breaker!!!
Ribery should be expelled from the CL. . . . .

chic2pimp:
Ibrahimovic, Xavi and Messi all have better Technique

Ibrahimovic is half the player Berbatov is so strike him out, abeg.

We are not talking better players here. . . . .We are talking technique!!
What a player does with the ball no matter how tight the situation is.
Have you seen Berba kill long balls with a single touch? I have seen Messi fumbled his first touch countless times.
Xavi is great when the ball is on the green but he's useless when the ball drops from a high altitude.

BlueDiva:
The red card is harsh  

U need visionexpress. . . . .
Ribery thumped Lisandro's shin. . . . . . .He didn't have to kick that high to win a tackle.
Thank Feck, he's been rightly punished.

Eastbay:
@ Sauron
A dirty player gets caught.
It's a dangerous disgraceful challenge by the harlot-chaser.
He deserves to go.

Ribery coulda tempered the Rafael incident.
All he had to do was smile and admit he's beaten by a rookie - instead he kept complaining like a twunt.
If Rafael was French, Ribery wouldn't have sent him off by whining and moaning like a rabid tasmanian devil.

RIBERY sees RED.

Well done referee. . . . . . .That's KARMA for what he did to Rafael.
Ribery is a dirty cheating slapper. . . . .He should face his prostitution charges and ROT in Hell.
