lol....that's human nature, I saw somewhere recently when people were arguing Whos the best goal keeper, maybe Courtois, Bravo, De Gea or Neuer.

They didn't even mention Bravo.

dmcdad:
Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ehya... E no good oooo.

Na the next Puyil be that oooooo. The next Southern Sudan Camel.

Bag guy

dmcdad:


How far your guy Bartra? That one sef na player name?

Na future Puyil you dey yab abi?

dmcdad:
Is it actually Benjamin or Mateo?

It was rumoured as Benjamin, but it's actually Mateo. Thanks bro.

dmcdad:
He has not trained with the team all week, even with his arrival from international duties. Anyway, he would play still, so there should be no cause for alarm.

Make Messi no train for two months and make Munir dey train every minutes, na who u go still select if u be coach?

barackohandso:
Benjamin


Na the pikin name be that?

Yes ooo na Benjamin Messi

barackohandso:
MESSI SKIPS BARCELONA TRAINING AHEAD OF CRUNCH
ATLETICO GAME



Messi abeg no miss this match oh

Lailai, Messi doesn't miss matches. Allowing him to skip training (because of Benjamin's arrival) is just a way of honouring him by the coach and expect Messi to bring his A-game tomorrow in order to return the favour.

I can see a vision of Piqué scoring in one of next season el classicos

That would be mad ooooo. The guy no dey fear anybody.

homesteady:
Pique: "Referring to Ronaldo's idol Kevin Roldan during treble celebrations? Wasn't elegant, but you shouldn't always be serious either."

Pique: "Quitting national team is the last thing I would do. That would be giving in to those who whistle for the wrong reasons."

Pique: "I don't play for ESP for money - I earn 50 times more at Barça. Nor for prestige - I won two trebles with Barça."

Pique: "Being whistled at the Benabeu is a symphony to my ears. But only when I play with Barça, national team shouldn't suffer from this."

Pique: "I play with ESP because it's the correct thing to do. Would I play with CAT? I can't talk about hypotheses."

Waohhh, that's great really. Thumbs up for Pique.

Anyone who says Ikedia is overhyped is just using it as a cheap way of getting at those Chelshit fans who argue blindly. Now, because they do that doesn't mean you will add insult to injury. Trying to be objective doesn't mean someone will become blind to facts. I am referring to the laughable FIFA 16 rating you brought up to back Ikedia up. Given, you made a mistake by misinterpreting homesteady. But even if that were not the case, it is very surprising and... to compare players with their game (FIFA) ratings. Thats the height of... if you ask me. If this is what you call objectivity, then I don't wanna be an objective fellow.

Moreso, despite the fact that these guys (Ney-Hazard) are still young, Ney even though younger, has been in limelight more than him. His recognitions stops within EPL and nothing more. Neymar on his part was already making waves from whence he was in Santos. Can you beat that? Neymar has been nominated for the FIFA puskas award 4 times in a row (2010 through 2013) and won it in 2011. He has even been in the Balon d'or shortlist in some occasions, even when he was in Santos. Tell me how many players you hear or know of that are playing outside Europe. That would tell you Neymar is no ordinary player.

Lets talk about his movement to Europe. Since he moved to Europe, his first season was more of an average affair considering a lot of factors, but not bad nonetheless as some clueless Chelshit fans would make it seem. After-all, he scored 15 goals and gave 9 assists which is on par with Hazard's average. He was new to European soil, had issues with his transfer which understandably altered his performances on the pitch. Yet, he didn't do bad albeit not his usual high standard.

Then comes the second season, after scoring 39 goals including against top teams like Madrid, Atletico, PSG, Juventus, Bayern Munchen, and not just scoring against top teams, but did it with an added style by scoring in all matches from the QF. Some cam with lame excuses like he was been spoon-fed by Messi. Someone should tell me how Ronaldo scored majority of his 61 goals last season. Need I mention also that he was joint top-scorer with Messi-Ronaldo? Sometimes I wonder, is this the same player people compare Hazard to? As much as I have seen many clueless and ignorant Chelshit fans, I still have some who will tell you the truth point blank. They would always say Hazard is nowhere near Neymar, at least for now. They operate from different levels to be frank.

Do I talk about his NT involvement? At age 23, Neymar has scored 47 goals in 67 matches and has given 25 assists in the process. Haba! This very young lad has the weight of a great footballing nation like Brazil and yet he is not breaking. Can you imagine his mental capacity to withstand such duress? Imagine you saying they both have not won anything with their NT sides, and after I quoted the Confederations Cup you quickly responded with; it was just a curtain raiser. Gosh! If this were from one of those clueless people it would have been less painful, but from you a Cule who supposedly knows football and is objective, I weep. I am not saying because you a Cule then you should be blind to the truth to just favour your player. But to discredit your player just to prove another team's player worthy was really clueless and irrational.

How about him scoring in finals and showing when it matters most. Neymar has scored in 3 of the 4 finals he has played in Barca. I don't even need to mention the ones he did with Santos (scored severally in many finals), neither do I even need to mention the Confederation Cup final. Everyone knows what he did to Spain.

Like I asked someone earlier on; Is there any stage or level Ikedia has shined or performed that Neymar has not?

They are miles apart. Neymar is far ahead of Ikedia, and he is just trailing Ronaldo who is also trailing Messi.

You won my respect with your patience to type this eye opening reply to our friend. Anyone that still has an iota of doubt as who is the oga should not be taken anymore serious really. #respect

hensben:
How does that change the fact that Neymar is an opportunist just like how thiery Henry ran to barca to win UCL. Neymar is a pampered kid, a dolphin who feeds from messi's brilliance. Individually griezman was rated higher than him in la Liga last season.

Bro, I hail ooooo. Hazard is far better than Neymar, he will take over the baton from Messi. He will even surpass Messi if he plays for Barcelona or Madrid.

Krasid:
Messi.Suarez was also better.

Good. Then Ney was third.

Krasid:

Shey na lie ni? Abi na Benzema u wan give?

dmcdad:
You forget say many of them don dey talk am already say Lizard don surpass Messi and Ronaldo. Some say e don supass Ronaldo already, say remain Messi. Them say na this year him go surpass Messi. I still dey wait for am to surpass Messi.

Enter Twitter you go hate Chelshit fans. Na there them dey talk all the nonsense about Hidden Ikedia. We dey busy dey talk about Neymar and Ikedia. For Twitter, many of them dey talk about Ikedia and Messi. See levels.

Lol. Na joke dem dey joke nau. E get person wey fit surpass Messi? Maybe in the next 50years sha.

coded01:
If sterling played for Chelsea or Man Utd? Dem for call am the new Messi...

Which kind new Messi? Dem go tell you say e sabi play ball pass Messi as Messi no fit play for Epl.

coded01:
Even terry no better pass Rafa Marquez...

Na lie sir!

dmcdad:
I think it would be easier to convince the Devil to repent, than for them to be realistic especially when it comes to Ikedia.

I just sitdown for one corner, dey read, dey laugh ehn at lots of comparisons.

Abeg next topic: Terry is better than Puyol.

homesteady:
Don't mind those cretins especially that 2-sides mouthed programmed lab rat called hensben!

You just mentioned another funny guy.

homesteady:
Neymar has 46 goals in 67 games for brazil!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
We surely have another legend in our squad!

The day I'll physically catch anybody comparing him to hidden Ikedia, I'll slap the foolishnesss out of the person! rubbish!

I have chosen never to give attention to such comparison anymore. I wonder if those kind of people watch matches at all. Or maybe Messi and Suarez were also in that Brazilian team. Neymay; what a legeng, the next best thing after god-Messi

pelvicky:
Barcablood......3-1 win ke.... Atletico has been on top form since their 1st match and also thrash sevila 3-0..........and we all new our boys are yet 2 gel togeda

predictions
atlectico 2 vs barca 0

dis one wey verminator dey rescue us

Habahhh! Na so we poor reach ni? It's gonna be a tough game, and as such, expect our boys to rise to the occasion. We can't loose the match.

Debroslink:
We tend to reverence the past more than the present.

I'm sure you will write more than this when Messi retires. To me god-Messi is better than Dinho.

Hmmmmm, I would rather we don't compare the two football gods because of what they both brought to football.

Nermay limps out of Brazil training while Sergo Roberto has not been seen on training ground since the match against Malaga.

What's the issue with injury to our players this season nau?

Chelsea fans:
Matic is better than Busquets
Hazard is better than Neymar
And I say:
Mikel Obi is better than Mascherano

hensben:
Neymar that's feeding from Suarez and messi. Hazard and Neymar plays different position for their respective team. Neymar is a striker/LWF in 4-3-3 formation while hazard play winger/LMF in 4-2-3-1 formation.

Now read this;

Mourhino's tactics is sicken mostly against big team. Hazard can't become world best player under a coach who play defensive football and no fluidity. Moreover, messi is still around so no chance. That been said, epl teams are average technically reason LVG is struggling with manure, he is trying to play ball possession game with them. If cr7 was still in epl his goal scoring form would've dropped long ago, a player can't be consistent in epl due to the physicality of the league. Cr7 only had one or two great seasons before he left. Hazard still has the talent but he's tired(fatigue) same with matic, they will bounce back to form because class is permanent.
Hazard is a great player , I think he would score more goals if he was playing for barca. But 20 goals a season for a left winger/midfielder that also has a lot defensive duties under Jose is a big accomplishment.

Nice one.
But, I guess Neymar also feeds from Oscar and William in the national team? Hazard is a good player, and I like him really. But, Neymar is still very much better in any area you might want to view it. You don't compare Hazard to a player who is carrying his national team (Brazil) on his shoulder.
And mind you, you don't expect Neymar to usurp Messi and assume the responsibility of leading the team at this stage. He still has to learn and get help from the master as long as he's still around. As good and prolific CR7 is, he will still feed from Messi if they play together. Hence, feeding from Messi shouldn't be a yardstick for measure the brilliance of Neymar.

pelvicky:
i think you should be more concern about your team with 2points behind barca....

Not only 2 points behind Barcelona but also behind Eibar.

Krasid:
La Liga stats so far: Bale-2 goals, J.Rodriguez-2 goals, Neymar-0 goals, Barcelona-2 goals.

You don resume? Welcome back!

barackohandso:
I kinda understand where he's coming from. CR7 was already a ballon d'or winner when he left Man Utd and he also left for a world record fee. Nobody compared Bale to Messi and CR7, so no pressure on him. Hazard's case is different; just one wow season with Chelsea after 3 seasons and the media and fans had started calling him the next best thing after the football beasts, just an EPL title oh not even UCL. The pressure is starting to get to him as he can't really handle it

I really feel for the boy, the media and fans put him in such a difficult situation by comparing him to Messi. Even Ronaldo as good as he is,has to put in extra efforts by working extra hard, going selfish, beefing his team mates, cry foul and do anything possible just to get close to Messi who does his own things with ease. It's not easy trying to put on a great man's shoe. It's just like saying Mikel is the next thing after Xavi

Chelsea fans are now lamenting bitterly over Fabregas run of poor form. Nawah oooo.
