It’s crazy that someone can win ballon d’Or on the strength of winning COPA.

Copa that Suarez, Alexis, Forlan, etc have won in the past and getting nowhere near the top 3.

I pity Jorginho. In terms of big trophies, he deserved it the most. Lewandowski also deserved it based on the cancelled awards last season. At least, give him the award for last season.

No team can win the Epl with players like... Hudson Odoi, Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz, Christan Pulisic , and most especially Cursed Timo Werner... If we rely on these set of players I mentioned... Then we will fight for Top 4 ...

macjireh:
we missed chilwell tonight,, it was very clear...

another tin was dat we had to use new players who have not been playing to play against a prepared team making us d learners instead of d masters.... d team dat started against Juve would have done better if fully fit

One of my main worries about Alonso coming into the team was fluidity and combinations down that left-hand side. Alonso and CHO had no connection or output down that side.

User09:
That felt like a loss. Can't wait for the next game

Honestly, CHO, Loftus Cheek are really not ready to move to the next level. RLC particularly annoyed me with his stupidity today

Werner drifting to the wings when he should be more central. Alonso playing better defensively and being terrible offensively was quite ironic.

Anytime Alonso plays, Cho plays bad.

Alonso tax .

Bville02:
You can equally be as good in English as you are in maths. You just need to use your brain. There is nothing deep in what he said at all.

My English is improving though to be fair .

Ibime:
You for try add that Computer Science with Maths if possible.

Maths and Computer Science lets people know your level, so employers can differentiate you from your typical run of the mill student who diversified into IT because of the unemployment situation in the country.

A bulk of our courses in 100 level & 200 level is Maths & stats.

Computer science is basically just dicrete mathematics, that is why some say it is a bastard child of mathematics.

But when Nigerians hear computer science what comes to their mind is coding , same way they think Mech. eng is all about motor, and spare parts.

raumdeuter:
Excellent results. I'm impressed.

You go dey College now

Yeah I have gained admission into Ui to study Computer science, I just dey wait for resumption.

Ibime:
You should have warned us before that we are discussing with a boy who is yet to warm his cockles


Your Maths and Further Maths result is impressive though

I am 17 but age is just a number , Maths as always being my best subject so it is not hard .

BlueRayDick:
Well good for you. I can see this is a 2019 result, maybe I'm a little bit out of touch to know that knowledge of idioms are no longer tested at the O'levels.

I mean I honestly don't know how someone who has understanding of English to the extent of having good grades like u did would ignorantly/deliberately misconstrue Klopp's statement; even when Klopp himself explained he was quoted out of context.

I wonder what you think of this though.

Chelsea loaned Gilmour to Norwich, in the match of Norwich against Liverpool.

Liverpool fans aimed 'rent-boy' chants to gilmour, LGbt+ group took it as homophobic, Liverpool came out to apologize and codemn it.

Note Gilmour is not gay, neither does the chant rent-boy had anything to do with homosexuals, it just a regular english chant to mock loanees of big clubs in England.

Yet Liverpool apologized because it is literally an unnecesarry chant, and it can be interpreted in a demeaning way.

Note: they no talk say nah idiom or sarcastic or just jokes oh.

Or maybe it is because they are whites .

BlueRayDick:
That is how u know people who didn't pass English Language at first sitting in WASSCE. To them every sentence is interpreted as per its literal meaning.

That was how I once chastised someone on this forum for forcing his opinion about his "cult-hero" on others only for him to reply me, " how do you know my hero is a cultist, mumu?"

See my Waec result in 2019, Waec is not the hardest English exam out there.

But atleast I pass average, and it is at my first sitting in ss3 class.

Ibime:
If you read the statement, you will instantly recognise the idiom

Ojora Babatunde of OJB Sports needs to brush up on his knowledge of English sayings. Guy made his organisation look like Uncle JB sports with his interpretation

"There is a little tournament going on in Africa in January"

BlueRayDick:
Na as ur brain carry reach u talk this one, so I understand...... No wam!

English lecturer no vex .

"There is a little tournament going on in Africa in January".

No one would have bothered if he used the words: “there’s also the little matter of AFCON tournament in January”.

But instead, he said there’s a “little tournament” which completely means something different.

but some say nah sacarsm, another say nah idiom .

Ibime:
It's simply an idiom used to make light of a worrisome situation like you rightly assessed

Like saying "I'm in good health, apart from the little matter of of my cancer diagnosis"

"There is a little tournament going on in Africa in January" is an idiom. Allahu Akboom!!!!

Nice one sir.

BlueRayDick:
Anybody who understands English will know understand he wasn't calling Afcon "little" literally. I think the reporter was just being mischievous especially knowing Klopp is not a native speaker of English.

Here is what he said

"What I meant was, if you watch the whole press conference then you might have understood it the right way if you wanted to, because I said there are no international breaks until March now.

'I said "oh there's a little tournament in January" and I didn't mean a little tournament, I was just saying it's still a tournament, it's ironic....

This is why people always put caveat to their posts that they are only responsible for what they post and not how anybody chooses to undertand. "Little tournament" in the context he used it here suggests that between now till; march there are no international breaks (that keeps interrupting the flow of games in the league), but then he remembered oh, there will be a "brief" tournament (referring to Afcon) that will rid him of his star players for about a month.

[/s]
CAP.

If it was Euro's will he refer to it as 'little tournament', all those idioms, sacarcastic are just defensive okoto meow.

He could have kept the English simple, and refer to it as a 'tournament', there is literally no need to use the world 'little' for whatever reason.

But keep defending nonsense, afterall black people are inlove their slave masters /

RLC came in for Kante and casually dropped a solid performance.

My boy is back.

Chelsea are still the best team in Europe
