Are you taking the mick Sauron didn't expect to hear this from you.

I ain't taking the piss.
Over the past few weeks, i have done a lot of research on what makes Barcelona tick especially with their young'uns. . . .I now know why.

Barcelona spend a whooping 15 million pounds on their academy annually with the freedom to pluck any youngster anywhere on the planet.
In England, United spend £4.0 annually, Arsenal spend £2.5 million and a free-spending Chelsea spend £3.6 million.

Since they are not bound by the useless 90-min rule, they have been able to concentrate on the best local talents, groom them in the Barcelona way and their loyalty is guaranteed. Managers in the EPL don't have the same luxury because Ronaldo will always go back to Spain and Fabregas will end up in Barcelona one day(it's only a matter of time).

Therefore, it is easy for Barcelona to have more than 50% of their youth products in their Starting XI.
They have the finest academy in the world but so it should be as they are by far the most expensive academy on the planet.

Babe: I Love You.
Sauron: I Love Money more. . . .

[b]scholes pens a new one year extension 2 his contract. [/b]u guys shd be than kin Fergie 4 such a landmark achvmt. lol @ rio & vidic dancin alanta

Scholes, Giggs and Neville should retire, abeg!!
Enough is enough. They have hindered the development of many youngsters at OT.

dayokanu:
@Sharon,
I am sure you dont see anything wrong when Ronaldo and Carvalho made the ref dismiss Rooney at the world cup despite Ronaldo and Rooney being best of pals

Ronaldo did not ask the referee to book Rooney.
Actually, he didn't book Rooney for the foul on Carvalho - He booked Rooney for pushing Ronaldo whilst Ronaldo was stating his case.
Carvalho was clutching his balls and i doubt he mentioned a word to Wazza.

Those dudes go about their daily business without resorting to stealing the countries money unlike many of our so called 'Leaders'

And how do you know those boys don't get involved with criminal activities.
Afterall, most armed robbers in Lagos are bus-conductors/bus drivers during the day but trigger-happy goons at nights.

Stop ranting like a twunt. . . . . .In the UK, the Eric dude woulda been sent to Prison for 15 years when he attacked the other guy making him blind.
That is GBH with the intent to murder. . . . .Na 15 years imprisonment and that alone is a VIOLENT CRIME.

Debosky, don't be a pessimist!!!

The amount of money United and Chelsea have spent in the past 5 seasons will surely outweigh whatever Wenger wants to achieve.
Besides that, the ridiculous 90-min rule has put paid into grooming quality players like Barcelona, Madrid and other top European teams.
Blame the FA for this mess. . . . .not Wenger.

doyin13:
Can't believe anybody involved with United can bring this up. . . .

Sharrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrap!!!

When that Skinhead Keane was leading your pack, intimidation
of referees was a regular feature at Old Trafford and everywhere else.

It became atrocious when a group of men in their 30s were intimidating the referee to send off a teenager.
Would Ribery have done the same if Rafael was a French youngster?

I wouldn't have bovvered if the culprit was Scholes or Fletcher or even Rooney but Rafael??
Jeeeez, i expected Ribery to shake hands with him and get going but he bawled like a baby. . . . . .Meanwhile, Ribery retaliated when he was pulled back by Rafael. . . . .Did the referee card him for retaliating? Hell Nah . . . .But he carded Rafael for retaliating against Van Bommel.

U and Fergie should be ashamed of yourselves. HYPOCRITES 

Nah. . . . .European referees should be ashamed of themselves.
Some of the decisions in Europe would make a Silverback  feel intelligent.

Chei. . . .

German defenders are mumu o
See as Tosic(Man Utd apprentice) is sodomising Bundesliga defenders.

TOSIC SCORESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
What a player!!!!!

Fergie better bring this lad back. . . . .
He is cracking it!!!

chamotex:
Which skinheadz?

The goons i sent after you to gouge your eyes out.

doyin13:
Don't know how you can blame the ref. . .

Van Bommel was booked for clattering a player
from behind without actually grabbing his jersey.

How many times did Van Bommel clatter United players?
The foul that got Rafael booked in the first half was as a result of a career-threatening tackle to Rafael.
Mr Line Assistant saw it and gave the freekick to Bayern instead. . . .How isn't that the fault of the match officials?

Your boy grabbed a handful. . . .

The referee wasn't even going to book Rafael. . . . .He was attempting to give him the last warning but the Nazis surrounded him
Ribery knew he would breathe easier with Rafael off the pitch and he complained vehemently to the referee. . . . The referee suddenly remembered the instruction Platini gave him and he sent Rafael off without warning.

I wasn't surprised when he got sent off. All that applause
the tighter he got to Ribery's rear end was always going to
get him in trouble.

Rafael was outstanding in that match.
I am yet to see a 19 yr-old defender make the best player in any league look so inferior.
He sodomised Ribery throughout.

chamotex:
Now that is a positive change.
More grease to your palms.

Thanx bro but you don offend me o.
Skinheadz are after your backside since 10 days ago - i am actually surprised they haven't caught up witcha yet.

iceblue:
i don't have a problem with them showing the slums but like someone said - IT'S NO LONGER NEWS!! have they run documentaries on ALL the slums in ALL the countries of the world before coming to pick on us? Yes we have inefficiencies, lots of them, but this documentary reeks of media bullying. and i can bet parts II and III won't be much different.

always trying to poke their noses where it shouldn't be. na so dem go start war for iraq.

They regret that now. . . . .
In the next 10 years, they will regret going to Naija to show a certain scavenger who is aspiring to be the next Jay-Z.
Surely, these boys musta collected some £££££ to be filmed. . . . Naija boys don't do drama for FREE.

dayokanu:
Yet they allowed manures goal vs Lille

Why wouldn't they?
Man Utd told the referee they wanted the freekick to be taken quickly.
Lille should be ashamed of themselves that they never knew about quick freekicks until then. . . .Their manager said he never knew FIFA updated their rules - There's no ignorance in LAW.

The same explanation for sending off Abidal for a non existent foul on Anelka,

That only happened once in the game. . . . .Chelsea were denied THRICE on the night.
Have you forgotten your fellow Nazi(Ballack) wanted to bite the ears of Ovrebo?

dayokanu:
I would have sworn you made this exact statement 2 weeks ago

I never knew Platini would send a bent referee to OT to officiate a big game.
Shame on the Frenchie!

debosky:
You must be a court jester to compare those players to World Footballer of the Year quality like Dinho and Eto'o.

Eto'o was average before joining Barcelona. . . . . .His best season in Mallorca was scoring 21 goals in 41 apps.
Surely, Eduardo's record was better than that before joining Arsenal.

Ronaldinho wasn't better than Nasri when Dinho joined Barca.
A Nigerian striker(Ogbeche) wouldn't even let Dinho get games at PSG. . . . .Dinho's butt-prints are still visible at PSG before he was sold off to Barca.

Almunia brought what experience? Someone who was in the SECOND DIVISION before coming to Arsenal? Someone who just started playing fulltime in 07/8?? He brought NOTHING to Arsenal except what he learned here.

Ok. . . .strike Almunia out.
What about Gallas, Sagna, Rosicky, Hleb and Adebayor?

We lack a quality goalkeeper and we lack back ups of quality.
Yeah right - ok to compete for half or maybe 3/4 of the season, but not more.

Don't be silly I said 3 players - one more quality CB, one attacker and a goalkeeper, that to start with will galvanise this team far beyond where it currently sits.

The mentality has to change.
What i have noticed is this. . . . . .some of those Arsenal players don't believe in themselves and it's quite pathetic.
I watch Man Utd players and they seem to be more hungry than Arsenal players in spite of the fact that United players continue to win titles.

chamotex:
Sauron, what have you done for Nigeria?
Apart from chasing Shade, Kemi and Ibukun

What have i done for Nigeria?
Surely, procreation is a positive contribution so lemme chase Sade, Kemi and Ibukun with all ma might.
There's power in overpopulation - China is me witness.

Useless TV show.
How dare BBC to eliminate Nigeria in that manner. . . . .

I just bought ma camera. . . . .I'm starting with the gypsies in em counties, the drug addicts in Tottenham and the homeless twunts in the City to reveal the poverty masked by the UK government.

Had those Nigerians worn a proper uniform with the word "RECYCLE" printed on their work-suits, i doubt anyone would be seeing em as tramps.

dayokanu:
"Zorro" would be leading his team to the semi finals, What about Vidic and ferdinand? Still hallucinating seeing images of Olic in their dreams

I doubt Zorro will play in 2 European finals---never mind winning one.

Like we always do.
Anyone that is playing in this years semi finals can gloat

We await your downfall in Europe before May.
Trust me to be your guest for 3 weeks straight if y'all don't win the trophy.

As much as i know this is wrong,i wish AW can just fall ill and quit coaching.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaa. . . . . .Letz infect him with HIV.

dayokanu:
Gibson striked from 10km and he would be sitting on the carpet in Vidics room to watch CL semi on TV.

Gibson has won the CL title once. . . .He was even in the squad that lost to Barcelona last season.
How many Bayern players can boast of that? Not Robben, not Ribery, not Lahm.

Only that we eliminated you and are playing in the semis while Faggotson is screaming "Typical German"

Win it like United did in 2008.
Anything short of that, your team is a failure.
United have won it TWICE in the new format era. . . . .This is Bayern's chance to equal United's achievement since the plugs have been pulled out when German Champions were beating the Champions of Cyprus, Estonia, Greece and San Marino to win the European title.

Yawn But the same European refs dont mind seeing Barca year after year or see Juve get to 3 finals in a row, AC play several finals in the 90's

English clubs are hated more.
If not, explain how Ovrebo denied Chelsea 3 penalty shouts last season.

doyin13:
lol @ Dayo. . . .Bayern na team sef.

No be Bayern some yama yama English team
eliminate from UEFA CUP not too long ago.

Bayern just eliminated Man Utd so allow Dayo to gloat.
However, the fans of Fulham, Burnley, Chelsea and Everton can also gloat by the same token. . . .
Dayo is a tard.

Even a complete twunt has an opinion these days.
Na wa o!

United were a one man team when Ruud was here.
They were a one man team when Ronaldo was here.

Ronaldo left and they are still a one man team.
When Rooney gets sold to Real Madrid in the summer. . . .United will still be a one man team in Macheda.

debosky:
Clearly promotion from the academy is NOT the issue with Arsenal - without having Eto'o and Dinho to win trophies around those players, they'd have ended up possibly not winning titles.

But it's not as if Wenger has not bought in the past 5 seasons.
Nasri check! Eduardo check! Vermaelen check! Gallas check! Hleb check! Rosicky check!
Surely, these players are the equivalent of Eto'o and Dinho as well.

There clearly is - he is intent on 'making' players from nothing into champions, while he used to enjoy blending experience and young talent. Bringing in Lehmann and Gilberto, added to those coming up at the club won trophies, not trying to develop everyone at the same time.

Gallas and Almunia have brought that 'experience' to the present kids as well.
Debo, stop clutching at straws.
Jeeeez, let's burn Wenger right away. . . .get your pitchfork out now.

Who is talking perfection now? We don't even have capable players in certain roles and you talk about perfection?  

What are you missing?
Sagna--Vermaelen--Gallas--Clichy are solid unless you prefer the relics in Bayern Munich.
Do you want a mask-wearing Dimechelis?

Perfection is when you are on another planet - competent players will give you a fighting chance, but we lack such in too many areas.

Arsenal are okay in ma opinion - this season is just crazy in that no single team can actually say they have done well.
The so called BIG FOUR have been shower of shyte - look at the loss column and you will see ma point.

Sorted indeed - still conceding more than any team in the top 7 except for Man City. If that is a sorted defence then I am Irish.  

Like i have said, it's a crazy season.

Buying ONE player while losing another cannot solve the defensive problems.

So what do you really suggest?
Buy 5 CBs in the name of sorting out the defence?

dayokanu:
Fletcherino what a plonker, Gibbon or what do you call him I saw them grabbing Old Trafford grasses when van Bommel ran through them

The same Van Bommel that watched Gibson strike from 20 yards?
What was he staring at? Gibson's nike boots?

Bayern dominated nowt yet your 5 midfielders couldnt touch the ball what happened to the 45 lungs of Park, Scholes albinism, Carricks passes and Fletcher? They were all nestled in Van Bommels pocket.

I forgot ---- Bayern scored 3 own goals at OT.
Our midfielders didn't touch the ball and two of them got 3 goals against your team.
Rafael ran 90 yards through your team and missed the goal by few inches and yet Officer Bommel was on the pitch.
Dayokanu, give up. . . . . .Your team ain't better than Man Utd.

Evra is another story entirely, maybe Altintop can give us a clue, neville? I wont say nothing but the suprising part is Vidic and Rio made to dance Alanta everytime Olic comes near

Heheheheheh, nor be only Alanta. . . .na Makossa.

Until Fletcher learns how to foul without getting caught then he is still an apprentice.
Fletcher didnt even foul Cesc last year and got sent off talk about a brainless midfielder.

Did he send himself off?
That is what i keep saying about European referees. . . . .They are spiritually blind like you are.
Giving nonsense decisions against Man Utd because they hate to see the same team winning all the time.

and me logging in affected Man utd game? Maybe that explains your insipid game afterall

U logged in after the game - not during cos you knew your team got battered throughout.

Trophies we have more, Head to head we always school you. You need more people

European coefficients don't agree with you.
Arsenal and Chelsea are better than Bayern Munich in Europe - not a single win against Man Utd can erase that fact.

debosky:
silly argument - the people who won for Rijkaard were Ronaldinho and Eto'o - without them NOTHING would've been achieved.

Haba. . . . .what about the contributions of Puyol, Valdes, Xavi and Iniesta?

Yeah right - everyone's dream job and he's done better than Bayern in 5 of the 6 past seasons in the CL.

To be honest, Wenger has done better than Bayern in the past 9 seasons.

The flaws in other teams are not trophy preventing - ours are!

So what is preventing Liverpool from winning trophies?
They have now gone 4 seasons without a trophy. . . . .Why has the Premier League title evaded Chelsea for the past 3 seasons with their multi-million pound squad?

Senderos is not at the club anymore, Djourou hasn't played once all season, and more importantly, the defence doesn't play as a unit.

United's defence have that flaw as well.
Same as Liverpool, Chelsea and Citeh.

doyin13:
MY TEAM  won the FA CUP more recently than yours did.

We will be winning it for a second time in three years.

not some crappity Carling Cup or whatever name its going
to morph into soon.

You are a disgrace if you are still claiming Pompey as your team.
Count the number of meaningful titles United have won in that period.
2 league titles + 1 Champions League trophy compared to a solitary FA cup and relegation?

You are classless!

dayokanu:
van Bommel was more sensible in his fouls and mauled all Manure midfield. i thought they said Fletcher is hard. I really laughed hard how he was wimping all over like a 3 yr old girl when Bommel dealt with him.

How could Van Bommel have mauled United's midfield with his team conceding 3 goals?
He musta mauled Bayern's midfield cos all his passes kept finding Man Utd players in the first half.
Gibson and Fletcher gave him the beating of his life - Beckenbauer even confessed he was going to sell him after witnessing the gangraping.

Were you watching the match in a pot of water placed i the sun?. Go check all the vital stats from the 2 legs Bayern dominated 3 of 4 halves.

Bayern dominated nowt.
You can keep saying it maybe one of your moronic twits would believe it.
All i can remember was you logged off NL after United owned Bayern on their own turf in Munich for the first 45 mins.

You played 10 men because your uncouth apprentice fouled twice and was carded SIMPLE. didnt he know the rule of the game?

And i am saying Van Bommel fouled 5 times and he wasn't carded TWICE.
Blame a spineless referee who got bullied by Bayern Players thus sending off Rafael who has serially sodomised Ribery until that point.

I have told you over and over Bayern is ages above Man utd and The game to prove it came and we dealt with you accordingly.

Lyon are ages above Real Madrid as well - Sugomu.

doyin13:
hehehehehe. . . .Call me anything.

So long as you cattle-rearers don't win. I am happy 

We have won the Carling Cup already this season in case your memory fails you.
As tiny as that achievement may look, it is better than anything Arsenal have achieved in the past 5 seasons.

debosky:
I am personally not crazy about Rijkaard - if he isn't given funds, he will do worse than Wenger.

Rijkaard believes in getting players from the academy.
He promoted Iniesta, Xavi, Puyol, Messi, Bojan, Valdes, etc.
Surely, he would do the same at Arsenal so i doubt he needs the funds.

The key issues are for the board to be able to challenge Wenger's decisions at some level, not the unlimited power he currently holds. For all his flaws, David Dein at least could give Wenger some advice, not like everyone there at present who seem to worship Wenger's every word.

Stop exaggerating, there's nothing wrong with Wenger.
During the duopoly of Wenger-Fergie, any crisis in Man Utd meant Arsenal would win without hassles.
These days, Chelsea, Man City, Tottenham, Aston Villa, etc have all buckled up which means the chance of Arsenal winning any trophy has been reduced from 50% to about 10%.

The issue for me is not even the trophies that some have complained about, it is seeing blatantly OBVIOUS flaws ignored or papered over season after season and coming back to hurt us. If we could fix our flaws but the other teams end up being massively better, then it is a different matter. Instead, we always seem to start off with a self imposed handicap, hoping we will miraculously overcome it during the season.

No football club is perfect.
Chelsea don't have a decent replacement for Petr Cech and yet they are ticking nicely.

As far as I'm concerned, if we managed to sort out our defence this season, we'd be much closer to the top - primarily the goalie and the CBs. If we fixed that we'd be better off now.

But this defence was sorted out last season.
Toure left and a much more accomplished Vermaelen was bought.
What else do you guys want from Wenger? His blood?

debosky:
I humbly award you the 'Berbatov has outscored RVP' trophy.

I will wear it with pride.
No idiot will ever say Van Persie is lazy but then Berbatov is lazy after scoring 12 league goals for his team.
Inspiration is better than perspiration. For a player technically gifted as Berbatov, he doesn't need to bust his guts to deliver.
A top player is a top player.

doyin13:
Wetin concern me with Van Persie. . . . .

Don't deny your roots - You are a flaming GAYnner.

But you know I am sure, any reasonable offer for Berbatov,
and Fergie will bite the fingers off.

He cannot sell Berbatov. . . . . . He said so in his pre-match press conference last week.

doyin13:
Lol. . . I wonder if Fergie will be able to refuse a Ten Million pound offer for Berbatov.

Berbatov has 3 seasons more at Old Trafford.
At least he has scored 12 league goals this season - something a certain Van Persie has never achieved since he was born.

dayokanu:
I have seen moronic excuses and this is one of the worst.

Face the points and stop quipping.

If the youngest player on the field fouls he souldnt be booked, Heck if the youngest player on the field scores, It shouldnt be counted. Did Muki ban your brain too? Which team played at ALlianz Arena was it TWATCHESTER DISUNITED?

No one is saying Rafael shouldn't get booked for fouling - all i am saying is Van Bommel copped more fouls on the night and the match officials didn't book him after copping his first yellow.

We needed to eliminate Manure and we did. Manure is now at home after being bettered for 3 halves out of 4

United had the better 1st half in Munich - they led 1-0 at half time.
United had the better 1st half in OT - they led 3-1 at half time.
You better drop ice cubes on your scrotum cos your seminal fluids seem to be boiling hard.

Is that a way of admitting Van Bommel sodomised your entire midfield? I warned you of La bestia Negra didnt I?

Sodomised who?
Gibson tore Van Bommel to shreds and he's still an apprentice at OT!!!
Your team advanced because they had to play 10 men for 40 mins.

There is no doubt Ipswich took a chunk of your brain. Barca scored twice after Puyol? [/b]Thats a [b]Fu//CKING DISGRACE

Barca?
Where did i say Barcelona scored twice after Puyol?
It seems those stupidity platelets have started running in your veins again.
Dunno which is which - spiritually blind or genetically stupid. . . .make up your mind.

doyin13:
But Wenger hasn't had any of his teams relegated abi. . . .

Wherever Wenger has been, he has always been competitive.
Give him some credit.

Damn right. . . . . .Being competitive is more satisfying than winning a trophy!!!

dayokanu:
Lahm and co made all the Old Trafford fans morose and some cried all week. Even the senile Faggotson was reduce to "Typical german" rants

Cried all week for failing to qualify?
After playing in the last 2 finals? U must be water-brained!!!

At 3-2 Bayern qualified, the onus was on manure to score and qualify but being the lameass they are, they couldnt, LvG even removed Robben immediately after the goal to reduce the humiliation

The onus was on Man Utd to score and they scored 3 goals.
A spineless referee and a blind line-assistant decided it was time to book the youngest player on the pitch and they handed the advantage to Bayern Munich. Even after playing against 10 men for 45 mins, your team still LOST the match.
United lost the TIE because of what happened in Allianz Arena. . . .not because of what happened at OT.

Transition season, i thought that excuse was for losers or has Manure joined the club?

There's what you call transitional season. . . . . .Every big team passes through that phase.
Bayern Munich have been in that stage for 9 years but a team like United need 2/3 seasons to go through it and win something big afterwards.
Tell us the reason your club have been strangers in Elite Europe for the past 9 seasons?

For the last 15 mins at Old trafford bayern were just passing the ball around and Manure IMPOTENCIAS were looking around like loonies.
If we needed to score 5 to qualify, In the last 15 mins we would have scored it. GEDDIT??

When you needed to score 5 at Allianz Arena, why didn't you score 5?

Officer nani couldnt even make his team qualify, Carrick, Fletcher, Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand, where were they, I heard one very notorious van Bommel and Olic sodomised them all night
HOW PATHETIC!!!!!!!!

Officer Nani scored TWICE when his team matched Bayern Munich 11 versus 11.
When a bent referee sent off Rafael and refused to send off Van Bommel despite fouling persistently, it was always going to be a hard task.
In the end, Bayern got the 2nd goal that even Burnley or Pompey woulda gotten.

FFS, Arsenal scored TWICE after Puyol was sent off at the Emirates.

Shut your stinking mouth and answer simple question
HOW MARKET? I mean any of the markets either Allianz Arena, Old Toilet vs Chelsea, Old Toilet vs Bayern or Ewood vs Blackburn
So Gbenga, YAYA KASUA??

You know that phrase is moronic to me.
I don't ask people that question and i don't expect to be asked.
So shop that question to moronic beings like you. . . . . . I am di-ffer-ent.

debosky:
So Sharon has accepted that losing Tevez equals rebuilding?

How can losing Tevez equals rebuilding.
Who the heck is Tevez? We didn't need Tevez from August until Rooney twisted his ankle against the Nazis.
If you take away that incident, no single pundit in the world woulda mentioned anything about missing Tevez this season.

Berbatov is a better player than Tevez and will always be!!!

I thought Tevez wasn't integral to the side? 

He wasn't!
United have scored more goals this season than last season when Tev/Ron were in the team.
The whole media went bananas because Rooney and Owen decided to get crocked at[b] the same time[/b].

Oh well, I hope Tevez can show how integral he was tomorrow. 

Easy victory for Man Utd if Rooney completes 90 mins.

chidichris:
are there still arsenal fans in the house? if yes, are u all comfortable with the proffessor and his experiments?
what if fabregas leaves? oh there is a nasri.
how long more will this last?
wenger is becoming boring by the day or what do u think?

Playing beautiful football is better than winning trophies.

Arsenal's structure and policy are the best in the land - what do they need the trophies for?
They have young talents who can compete with the very best in the world, they have got the best manager in Europe who ensures nothing but perfection and you are here talking about trophies?

FFS, they even have Emmanuel Eboue in their books and we all know Eboue is the most popular player in Europe.
There's a cult in Spain that worships Eboue.
In the current market, Eboue is worth £99 million.

Take a look at this. . . .

debosky:
In my opinion, Wenger has one season left - he should NOT be offered another contract till he wins again at this club. Failure to do so will be to continue in an endless cycle of 'rebuilding'.

It doesn't take 5 or 6 years to rebuild a football team - Wenger's project has failed abysmally.

Till Wenger gets his act together and BUYS 3 players who can fit into this team RIGHT NOW, he is wasting the time of Arsenal fans - we all know he won't do that, so we'll 'hope' to win next season, likely to be disappointed once again.

F'kin Hell. . . . .This is PRICELESS.

We might as well just forget about next season - this coach has no other ideas except achieving an ideal of 'developing' and 'blending' players that ISN'T going to work.
