Lol. Ball playing keeper my left yansh....
I blame Guardiola for that mistake and not Bravo. Guardiola has so much drilled ball passing into the head of Bravo that all he does now is pass and pass without having an iota of sense to kick out some kind of balls. In short, Pep screamed about passing of ball so much that Bravo has taken it as the only gospel in football. Look at what it's cost City. Nonsense. Kick out ball, Neur and DDG are not the best in the game for passing but for saves. That's the major attribute of ALL keepers. Buffon, Casillas, Van Der Sar, Cech, are all great keepers for SAVING goals not passing skills.


That said, kudos to City tonight, prior to Bravo's moment of madness, they played Barca off the park. City surprised me tonight. In the first-half, Barca had no answers for them. They matched Barca in all categories and played with zeal.


Anyone that says Guardiola is a fraud is simply a hater. That man is a genius. I'm believer.

Or was it the game against everton were Terry equalized in the 98th minute after 6mins extra time was given

Na we stop the referee watch
LOL. Bro, na wa to you o. Didn't you know it's Fergie's Time meaning United bribed the ref to continue the match until Terry scored? grin grin


Remember I told you these haters have two common symptoms - hypocrisy and amnesia? Well, read the link below dedicated to Chelsea's poor attitude towards the refs. When a site dedicated a column for your team to show how uncouth your team have been toward the ref, no-one should doubt who the real corrupt team who keeps escaping are.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/mar/14/jose-mourinho-chelsea-respect-referees

The title of the editorial reads: Chelsea’s respect-to-referees record is poor but they are not alone.


And an excerpt from that link that exposes the hypocrisy and amnesia in these haters reads:

The modern-day player is, however, becoming better at it, judging by a passage in Luis Suárez’s book about the penalty Daniel Sturridge won when Liverpool beat Manchester United at Old Trafford last season . “He threw himself down,” Suárez recalls. “It was such a good dive even I thought it was a penalty. But then I saw how annoyed Nemanja Vidic was. When I saw the replay I realised Daniel was about a metre away from Vidic. I said to Daniel later: ‘Can you imagine what would have happened if that had been me?’ He said: ‘I felt him touch me,’ and started laughing.”
Imagine if United was awarded 4 PKs against Loserfool in one match, these haters would've been quoting it all the damn time. But since it's the opposite, they've developed amnesia. grin grin

This is how low hate has reduced you to. In your rush to troll you clearly failed to read the sentence: "being at home further tips the balance in their favor". Why wouldn't they be the favorites? They are on form and at home. Odds are not decided by the expensiveness of a team. If we remove United and place Assanal on that fixture poll with Loserfool being at home, Assanal will be the underdog too. So what are you on about?


OK, Assanal was the favorite team and spent more than Loserfool this season, but how come you guys still got rąped by them?

Chelsea v West Bromich Albion, 2013

The Baggies were all set for a historic win over Chelsea before Ramires dived his way to a draw at Stamford Bridge, deep into injury-time. This was a dive that was so obvious on television replay that it prompted an apology from referees’ chief, Mike Riley (though it was Andre Marriner who had awarded the spot-kick). Ostensibly, Ramires collided with Steven Reid, but it is clear that no contact between the players is made.


Eden Hazard converted the subsequent penalty to level the score at 2–2. After Riley’s apology, West Brom boss Steve Clarke said: “It doesn’t get us any more points but it’s nice of Mike to phone. If he’s apologising, he obviously feels it was the wrong decision.”
Please note that United was also behind this decision and every other decision Shekpe has gotten away with.

Your faithfully,
ALEX FERGUSON.

Breaking News

Owing to the recent revelations about the dirty and sordid past corrupt acts by Manchester United, Ferguson would like to openly apologize for the evil ways of his and the organization he served in for over 25 years. In the view of these things, Ferguson would confess on behalf of United that:

- United was the reason the ref didn't see both Maradona and Messi's Hand of God goals.

- United paid Higuian and Aiyegbeni to miss jaw-dropping chances at the big stage so that Argentina and Nigeria will lose out.

- United through Riley and Webb has made sure 3 dubious decisions has gone in the favour Gayners this season so that they'll pip United to the title.

- United are behind the reason Costa wasn't sent off last season against Arsenal while the innocent Gabriel was.

- United also paid refs to give Leceister an astonishing 12 PKs in one season in order for them to win the league ahead of Assanal.

- United paid the refs to award them the least PK in the EPL amongst the top 4 for the last decade.

- As confirmed by our court jester, United not only paid refs to favour them in Europe when they meet EPL teams, they also pay them to rob EPL teams when they meet other teams in Europe. You remember the harsh sending off of Persie in Nou Camp against Barca? Yes, you got it right. United bribed the ref.

- You remember Anders Firsk and Overebo that didn't favour Shekpe? United also bribed them. In short, United have been the ones behind the reason decisions goes in favour of Barca and hence why people call them UEFAlonoia.

- David Gill personally Mike Dean to give the wrong against United when 2 mins after Terry fouled Falcao, Mike Dean didn't penalize Terry but allowed the play to continue as Hazard scored from the resulting counter. SMH for Gill.

- E never finish o. Remember Shekpe-Southampton match this year where on February Charlie Austin was denied a goal scoring chance by the hand ball of a Shekpe CB? Of course nothing was done and Shekpe went on to win all thanks to United bribing the ref. Hehehe. We too much.

- Arsenal-West Ham match on April of this year. Lanzini thought he’d handed West Ham an early lead in the match when he converted Carroll’s overhead kick from close range. However, the linesman waved Lanzini offside, though replays showed he was clearly played on by Hector Bellerin. Yes, United paid the ref to favour Assanal.


- November 8th 2009: Chelsea 1-0 United
Referee: Martin Atkinson
Decisions which were wrong and changed the match:
1. Wayne Rooney was one on one with the keeper but wrongly ruled offside
2. Darren Fletcher won the ball against Ashley Cole but a freekick was given
3. From that freekick, Chelsea scored the goal, despite Wes Brown being fouled by an offside Didier Drogba
4. Antonio Valencia was fouled by John Terry in the box but no penalty was given.

United also paid the ref to favour United against us. LMFAO. United na baba. Bribing refs against them. grin grin


I, Ferguson, personally don't care about bringing up the decision we paid for to favour Gayners, coz at the end of the day, they're useless and won't make use of it. United would also love to tell everybody that any dubious decisions this season and coming ones will be courtesy of United. Thanks

Why would you believe such a rumor in the first place? You actually believe Shekpe will exchange Hazard of all people for Bonnucci? Shekpe most prized possession who just signed a new contract not too long ago meaning his buyout clause will be at least £80m? Like say Bonnucci is the only defender in the world?

Initially, I was amongst those that vehemently condemned the acts of DSS' raids on the houses of the arrested judges, but this morning while reading through a thread on the front page, a copied post from someone caught my attention. And after reading through that post, I've had a change of mind and now believe DSS was within their jurisdiction to carry out the various raids on the house of the judges. I'd love us all to read the post without sentiments and see if DSS was actually right or wrong. Civil replies are most welcomed, let's not resort to insults as we argue on this topic. Below is the post.

.......as copied

BASIC GUIDE TO ARGUING EITHER IN FAVOUR OR AGAINST THE RECENT ARRESTS OF SOME JUDICIAL OFFICERS BY THE DSS.
Before you argue either in favour of the recent arrests of some judicial officers by the DSS, it is important that most of you know the following facts. They will guide you to argue intelligently and intelligibly. This is my part of contribution to the change agenda.

1. No judicial officer has immunity against, arrest, search, investigation and/or prosecution in respect of an allegation of crime.

2. The National Judicial Commission (NJC) is responsible for the appointment, discipline/punishment of judicial officers only in respect of breach of judicial ethics, and not crime.

3. Even where a judicial officer has been sanctioned by the NJC for any misconduct, the state still reserves the right to prosecute the erring officer if his misconduct amounts to a crime.

4. The Administration of Criminal Justice Act (2015) is the procedural law that guides the activities of all federal investigating and prosecutorial agencies like the police, EFCC, ICPC, DSSS,etc., as well as the Federal High Court, High Court of the FCT, National Industrial Court, Code of Conduct Tribunal, etc.

5. Any action taken by any prosecutorial agency either during investigation or prosecution must be in line with the ACJA

6. Under the ACJA, there is no time limit or time frame when a person can be arrested. There is no day that a person cannot be arrested.

7. Sections 12 (2) & 13 ACJA give a law officer the power to break into and out of any house for the purpose of arresting a suspect who fails to let the arresting officer in.

8. Section 43 (1) ACJA states: "A warrant of arrest may be executed on any day, including a Sunday or public holiday."

9. The person arresting may not necessarily be the person to prosecute. A private person may arrest a suspect and hand him over to a prosecuting authority(Section 23 ACJA).

10. A person may be arrested notwithstanding that the person arresting him is not in possession of an arrest warrant on demand, but can show the warrant as soon as practicable. Section 44 ACJA.

11. "A warrant of arrest issued by a Federal High Court sitting anywhere may be executed in any part of Nigeria." Section 47 (1) ACJA.

10. A search warrant can be executed by anyone to whom it is directed (Section 147 ACJA).

12. "A search warrant may be issued and executed at any time on any day, including a Sunday or public holiday."(Section 148).

13. Apart from the President, vice president, Governor and a Deputy Governor, no other person has immunity from arrest and/or prosecution
P.S: if you have a differing opinion, you can state it without insults or resorting to tribal bigotry which end up ruining nice topics.

Nihilist:
Bar one or two players, the overwhelming majority of the players you mentioned were at the same clubs last season.

So what's changed?

Pep went to City and has completely ignored defending and focused on attack. Wenger is now playing Sanchez up front, which has allowed Walcott back into the team with devastating effect.
Klopp's system was already looking like bearing dividends having appeared in two finals last season, and with one or two additions to the squad, has crafted a tsystem so deadly that their best striker can't even make the first 11.

Good players are great to have, but a great system makes average players look great. Compare sterling of last season to this season. Look at what's happening at Spurs. Lamela, Son, Dembele, Sissoko. These are all players that were suffering stagnation in their careers until they met Pochettino.
Mehn!! I don't know which part of your post not to cherish. Every word and point was a hit back to back!!

This was the same reason I was mad at Mourinho coz he lacks ANY game tactics that's visible. It's like fielding a group of players with no game plan whatsoever and expecting them to be brilliant.


Loserfool have almost the same crop of players that were under Rodgers. Bar Matip (who has not started all their matches), Wijnaldum, and Mane, every other player in that squad were there under Rodgers. What changed? It's the tactics, system or game plan that Klopp came with it. From the first month Klopp took charge, you could see his expertise written on all the plays of those players. You could see he'd a vision for that club and right now, Loserfool are looking like title contender.


Arsenal nko? Wengay dropped Giroud, pushed Sanchez forward and compensated him with willing runners and intelligent sidekicks in the mold of Iwobi and Walcott with Ozil's creativity behind them, and you can see the intensity and sleekines of their plays. It's all about the right tactics and system.

Man Shitty is no different. Apart from Stones who's been in the squad from day one of this season, the likes of Nolito, Guandogan and Bravo hasn't played all their matches, but the bulk of the team is from Pellegrini's. What changed? Pep's vision and peculiar tactics changed it all. Aguero, Sterling, KDB and Fernandinho are all Pellegrini's. But they are on another level now. Pep is one coach that has a particular vision and doesn't give a Fûck who gets booted out in his quest to achieve that vision. I use to underrate that man but I've started giving him his due respect.

I read an article on The Guardian few weeks back that convinced me that Pep might not be the fraud that people think of. The article was an excerpt of Iniesta's upcoming autobiography. In that article, Pep recalls an incident after they have lost to Hercules and didn't play well in their next match. Pep Sat on his office on that fateful day brooding on how the press were lambasting him and calling for his sack after just 2 matches. He's still deep in thoughts when he heard a knock on the door, and it's Iniesta. He's shocked coz Iniesta rarely checks on a coach as he's the quiet type that minds his business. He invited him in and Iniesta said something that would change his life. He recalled that Iniesta told him that he (Iniesta) understand how he (pep) feels reading the press harsh words but that he shouldn't worry coz since he (Iniesta) has been in Barca, he has never seen any coach that came with his (Pep) unique method of playing. That his style of play that he's teaching them was like no other and that he (Iniesta) can assure him that they will be champion when this season ends. That Pep should not change his style of play. It's then that Pep believed that his tiki taka will come good, coz Iniesta is someone that rarely speaks, but when he does, he says it as it is. After that advice, Barca would go on to play brilliantly and won everything before them.

That's why I believe that no matter how good a team is, without tactics, they won't achieve much. Mourinho's teams way back had a tactic, albeit a defensive one. But it brought untold success for him. Right now, I cant see any tactics he's brought in yet. Watching Chelshit yesterday, I couldnt spot any particular tactic they set out to implement. But I believe Conte can still turn it around.

I would be waiting for your response

Of which this your one sided admonishing get as e be. We are not the only ones dishing the insult. Don't be partial. Its what you are seeing with your eyes
First off, my admonition wasn't one-sided, maybe it came off the wrong way, but it's meant for all parties. No party is innocent. I wasn't blaming anybody in particular?

Now to the discourse. After reading the rebuttal from you and Dayo, I've had a rethink seeing that I'm not entirely right, and also that there's no particular criteria that cuts across all scenarios. My fluctuating benchmark failed to describe Mike's exact position. As a matter of fact, I sought out 5 different websites and 4 of them called Mikel a midfielder without saying for sure if he's an AM, DM or CM. After much thought I've concluded that there no particular criteria thats absolute for judgement but rather a series of varying criteria. E.g:

The fluctuating criteria: while this criteria favors my argument for Mascherano, it fails woefully for Mikel. Calling Mikel a makeshift DM, CM or AM sounds retărded, and anyone can call him an AM or DM and he'd be right.

The "successful or prominent position" criteria: this criteria refers to a place where a player excelled the most or achieved success the most, and hence is always associated with that position. Judging by this criteria, a player like Rijkaard will always be a DM to not just me but the entire football lovers. His position as CB won't erase that fact. But this criteria also fails to address the Mascherano angle. At least 80% of Mascherano's trophies or achievement came while playing as a CB for Barca, but most people and I still see Mascherano as a DM till this minute.

The coach/club position criteria: this is criteria where where a club or coach wants a player to play might be different from the former position the player must've played. E.g: Blind started out as DM before LvG converted him to a RB, then to a DM at United, before moving him to a CB role last season. Currently, he has no chance of playing in a midfield position for United. Very soon, he might end up being recognized as a defender for United irrespective of what he's seen as outside United. This was one of the reason Dayo didn't win the Okazaki debate many months ago coz the evidence brought out showed that Leceister also insisted that Okazaki is a striker for them which destroyed Dayo's case for Okazaki. This means that anyone, especially from a Barca fan angle, can boldly call Mascherano a defender/CB.

And finally,

The "popular opinions" criteria: this is the criteria where majority opinions/views are generally used to describe a players makeshift or main position. E.g: Azpilicueta has played more games at the left-back than RB and achieved prominence there too, successfully ending the Chelshit careers of Cole, Bertrand and Ruiz. But the popular consensus is that he's a makeshift LB, and should a quality LB be gotten, Ivanovic should be thrown out for Azplilicueta to collect back his natural position. It's the same reason why I believe that any/most club looking to buy Mascherano from Barcelona will likely buy him to play the DM position which he started his career with and still plays for the NT. I


The popular opinion criteria is the most used and generally accepted criteria.


In all, I agree that anyone that currently calls Mascherano a DM or CB is correct.
