Madrid are through to the final.....all spanish finals!

dmcdad:
The last time I checked, Leicester was the best and still remain the best. So i don't know what you talking about.

Na so them tell me ooooo.

dmcdad:
E be like say you forget say City no be team.

You mean the best team in EPL is no team?

But why dem no give us this City nau? Why?

@diggz
Is this the same City team you called the best in England?

usbcable:
The choice fo4 ATM is not out of the "they deserve it" factor but simply because those who choose them believe RM will beat Man City.

Why would someone say ATM deserves it and City don't if they get to the final.

I do not fault the choice. I MAY do same. if in same circumstances.

However if RM don't get to the final I will gladly hope that City wins it.

Can't see myself supporting ATM or Barca for any trophy. Except maybe against Bayern.

I think you need to be lecturing your goons, many of them don't know what rivalry cum enmity actually mean. You can imagine calling Barca fans fools for not supporting Madrid some of your fans are pathetic.

M not listing any , but those players are not average as he claimed.

SMH...

lekkie073:
any manager dat wins d ucl in his first year in charge of a team should covertly praise the personnel dat made up d team not his own tactics or strategy...dats where d profiles of some coaches tend to work against them.

ferguson laboured hard before he achieved...pep should thank his triumvirate (xavi iniesta messi) for his achievement with barcelona

Are you saying if Mou takes over Arsenal and wins the UCL next season, he should not be praised, but the players should get the credit?
That means if Pep takes over Man U too and wins the UCL in his 1st season, Rooney, Carrick and co should get the praise. No?

weedtaker:
oga na him opinion be dat o, no generalize wetin him talk as oda man-u fans opinion.

At least, he did well by replying.
Then, I'd expected many to ask questions when someone claimed ''those guys were rubbish and still won the UCL''

Oya bro, can you please list out the players that were average in the team that rendered the team that won the UCL rubbish?

lekkie073:
to me gary neville andy cole and dwight Yorke r just a bit above average. if I want to create a little chaos I will add beckam to d list because I dont see beckam as a superstar just some normal english over exaggerated hype

Thanks boss!

Eruditor:
There is no outlet to be created. If Pep doesn't win 2 UCLs in 3 seasons at Manchester city he will be judged a failure.

City have one of the best squads. I know you want to raise moot points but Chelsea's squad was as good when the season started. But you lot quickly shifted gear when Mou was on his "relegate-Chelsea-by-all-means" campaign.

Chelsea, United are as infinite in spending as City. This is a fact as well.

At the end of the day, you are confirming all I already said: Did Pep underachieve in Europe? Yes. At least he should have made one final, particularly this one.

But even if he made 1 final would you give him credit? No. You will say there is nothing special because Jupp and LVG did it. After all, you (using it loosely)said the same about Rijkaard's Barca and Pep's.

In conclusion, Pep will never be good enough for you because you are predisposed to dislike him- which is fair. But is his record better than Beloved Mou? Your guess is as good as mine.

Yet, many of these guys wanted him to join their club. Pep is a victim of his own standard.

lekkie073:
he didnt call them rubbish...many of them r just a bit above average....

I believe we are both following the debate and it's interesting I must say.
But for the records, can you please tell the players that were a bit above average so as to have a reference point in case such players are debated in the future?

Nihilist:
I don't need to back track, I read it first time, and called it out as BS.

Ok lets look at Manyoo's 1999 squad.

It contained:

Gary Neville(PFA Team of the year 1999)
David Beckham(2nd best player of the year world AND Europe 1999)
Dwight Yorke(Club record transfer and league golden boot winner 1999)
Peter Schmeichel( UEFA keeper of the year 1998)
Andy Cole(2nd highest goal scorer in the league 1999)
Roy Keane
Ryan Giggs
Paul Scholes
Jaap Stam( UEFA Best defender in Europe 1999)


Yeah this team was really rubbish, and could not have been reasonable expected to win domestically and in Europe.

A Man U fan called the collection of the players above rubbish in a bid to pass a message across, and no Man U fan is ready to correct him. SMH. Should we assume he's speaking the mind of all United fans?
Nihilist, I dey feel you jor!

coded01:
Blood dey hot...

Go Bayern thread and see as boys dey Fire men like dayo n A40...

That place is full of haters meahn! it's full of those that have been wounded by Pep over the years either by defeating their dear club or by refusing to join their club . Few are objective though.

Chelseafan1:
Same feeling we had yesterday, he didn't even look up before taking the shot, for my mind, I say ds boy don throway ball again, I I was shocked it entered
Talk true, shey dt kind goal no reach make person call for Raumdeuter head??

I later saw the goal when I saw your post from thread to thread asking for raumdeuter's head. It was a great goal and should be celebrated. But, I got disappointed when you started dragging Iniesta into it. I looked again to see if it was hesbn that posted such which could have been easily forgiven, but, it was surprising it came from you. I mean, why would you be asking for Gotsze(who hardly gets selected), Ribery(who has passed his prime) and Iniesta's stats(a player who has nothing to prove again) all because Hazard scored a great goal? Does that mean if he wins the WPOTY tomorrow, you would ask questions of Messi? Or should we just believe you were carried away by the euphoria of the great goal?

coded01:
Seems barca fans are divided on who to take UCL...


If you ask me... I root for Man City but Atletico have the character and zeal to win it...

Don't get it twisted bro, I only root for City to go past Madrid knowing fully they can't win Atletico.
I have always said the UCL winner is the winner of last night tie.

Kudos to Diego Simeone and his team for a job well done. They now have the UCL finals well prepared for them, I don't see any of City and Madrid defeating them.

bykebyke:
That's if he has the zeal to do so.

Then we are in trouble if he doesn't. We can't rely on only Alves for next season, law of diminishing return is already catching up with baba.

bykebyke:
Enrique is angry with him,He got injured before the Atletico Madrid 2nd leg match in an absurd way.

That's bad! He needs to brace himself up for the challenge next season. I want to see him confine Alves to the bench.

coded01:
Let the Leicester City raid begin...

No 1 target - Mahrez (Attacking Midfielder)

No 2 target - Kante (Defensive Midfielder)

No 3 target - Kasper (Goalkeeper)

Transfer market should just open already!

And you think the club is looking your way abi? SMH.
By the way, what do you think is the issue with Alex Vidal? He's been sitting on the bench lately.

bellong:
Apologies to everybody who have been for or against discussion on the musician's marriage.

I want to believe what is happening between them is not peculiar to them. Thousands of unions both home and abroad are experiencing it. Why then are we paying too much attention to them?

When intending couples do not understand the fundamentals of marriage, why God (doesn't matter you believe in Him or not) established it and unique roles of the individual to make things work as well as the principle of "Help Meet", such marriages are bound to fail as there will be schism, division, clash of interest and power play.

You are ready for marriage when you are ready to think less of yourself but more of the other person. You are ready for marriage when you understand your purpose and the purpose of marriage in itself. You are ready for marriage when you realize that nothing is in black and white, there's always a shade of grey, compromises to be made and at times depending on circumstances, dreams to sacrifice for your family. It is about the end and overall well-being of all.

The most important factor in marriage is Character, when that is lost in any party, the union is doomed. Not being judgemental or anything, I knew from the first day, that their marriage is only a disaster waiting to happen. If you marry a man who doesn't have the leadership and resilient spirit to lead the home in time of storm, such a home will fail. In my opinion, I believe their Union is not worth the energy we have put in it. If I were single, prior to this, I wouldn't even consider them as an example to look up to.

I will rather we discuss and not argue factors to help the married and what the singles need to watch out for before jumping in.

Every Union with a faulty foundation is bound for failure.

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
Nice write up!

pelvicky:
neymar ke, he don use him own hand spoil him good work

Since the whole team has been under performing lately for obvious reasons, it will be unfair to single him out as the black sheep. His performance in the absence of Messi shouldn't be forgotten in a hurry. I'll still give it to him.

pelvicky:
Who are our three best players this season

Mine are

1. Suarez
2.messi
3. Mascherano

As for me;
Messi, Suarez and Neymar.

On this day in 2009, We brutally raped Real Madrid 2-6 in their Santiago Bernabéu

Make I go watch the highlights again sef.

Lol... you don't need to remind Madrid fans of that match bro, that's wickedness
Cassilas' autobiography will never be complete without Messi.

GBR1, you wan come cause trouble here abi? Abeg goan sleep jor

RebelliousDark:
lol. . . good evening boss. ..no, I'm not on ban. this account was eked out for the sole purpose of campaigning for that Miss Nairaland thing i told y'all about weeks ago.

Oh good!
Just try and put up a reminder when the time comes.

Krasid:
I think I remember Barca's hat-trick of penalties against Gijon.

Which of the penalties was as a result of foul committed outside the box or the ball hitting a defender's jersey?

RebelliousDark:

Are you Darkenedrebel? If yes, you don go cause trouble with your sophisticated grammar abi? How many months ban

dmcdad:
All those wish no dey work. E dey go back to the person wey dey wish am. Remember our analogy of the rich man daughter.

Last last e go still work for her while people wey dey winchy her go still dey house dey chop their mama food.

You are a bad guy I swear!
And before you know, mama go dey rub am for him face. Such as 'awon egbe e wa ni school, afi ounje ni kan' (your mates are in school, all you know is food)
Chelseafan1 my guy, do you know the story of the rich man daughter?

dmcdad:
Yeye man... And also we are yet to be awarded a penalty for the ball hitting an opponent at the back in his 18-yard box.

Your guy has a very good memory, but he's always selective about it
Krasid, which one you remember? The one outside the box or the one that hit jersey number?
