Zet72: @ gbawe when will u stop this ur defense of ACN & analyse matters objectively not lopsidedly.

AwodwaGyanOniwe: @coti

As I said we'll always be BETTER THAN NIGERIA. SOUTH AFRICA will have the HIGHEST HDI INDEX, 100% LITERACY RATE, LIVE LONGER by 2030-2050 onwards. While overcrowded Nigeria will still be a low income country with millions of mouths to feed.

Pls read.

Soso990240: d guy said he would hav luv 2 play 4 naija,bt his agent lied and deceivd him.

biolabee: It was a failed year for shekpe

A credible treble became oneple

FA, Carlin + Europa

Na shekpe dey help seeding
By this season end thw wondeful epl run of 3 clubs in the ucl semis will not matter

England may even drop to no 3

thegoodjoehunt: It was a memorable game by two great teams. Great goals, lovely saves from Pantilimon and Cech and that Ba's goal. Breathless. What a way for the Romanian Giant Pantilimon to concede his first goal in the FA Cup.

thegoodjoehunt: It is not yet official but the Sheikh is trying to buy an MLS team to create an avenue for him to give the youngsters of the club a competitive chance for development. Instead of sending them on loan to different clubs and some not getting playing time.

Well officially the club has distanced themselves from the leaked news but I think something is going down. It might not be the MLS, it might be a championship team. Whatever it is, is still in the pipeline.

By the way Hart, I hope you are training.

thegoodjoehunt: Let them compete and may the best keeper win. Look at Shay Given and Joe Hart two seasons ago. Mancini made them compete and Hart won. This season Joe Hart and Pantilimon are competing and so far it seems Pantilimon is about to put Joe Hart on the bench next season. He conceded only one goal in the FA Cup.

Mata fear:

thegoodjoehunt: I am not saying Mourinho is not a great coach. I am saying he is impatient to wait and nurture young players. He did well with Lampard, Drogba, Carvalho, Milito, Stankovic, Lucio but he can't wait and watch mistakes from young players.

Mourinho thrives on pride, if he losses some games, he changes and starts defending to win. Remember when he was trying to turn Madrid into an all out attacking team. When he lost 5-0 to Guardiola, he cancelled the project. That is My problem with him. Oscar, Piazon and Lukaku need patience to reach their pinnacle. Just like Arsene went long without anything to show for Van Persie but kept assuring the fans that Van Persie will be great.

CFCfan: Most of those guys are old news. Talk about Omeruo! That guy is amongst the top 5 central defenders in the world right now!

thegoodjoehunt: Not like a Mechanic like Essien, Makalele (Note the Maker in Makerlele ), Lassana Diarra and Mahammadou Diarra. Mourinho cherishes Mechanics, more than Artists.

biolabee: Good analysis.. Schooled all these epl/ footie newbies


Barcelona
Arselona
Swansealona

LOL

thegoodjoehunt: Are you saying that when Guardiola won 6 trophies in one year, he didn't meet any tactical team? What about the success of Swansea at the EPL or the domination of Spain in European football.

The Germans have become more possessive in their games and they are becoming more successful. Yes direct play can bring short term results but a clear plan for great football brings long term success.

What killed Wenger was that he refused to increase the pay of players. It made it difficult for him to keep his rising stars like Flamini, Clichy, Nasri, Van Persie, Song, Toure. It wasn't the footballing style that failed. If you lose top players, you suffer.

See Man City with Yaya, Kompany, Aguero and Silva not being regular on the team caused the team to dip form this season.

biolabee: Interesting I thought mata was the better
But no problem
But Mata has been superlative for shekpe.. Another thwarTed wenger buy

Baba ijebu

biolabee: Courtois to barca..and he is spainish
#THAT KID ISGOOD

biolabee: Courtois to barca..and he is spainish
#THAT KID ISGOOD

biolabee: Not really
Mata is better at least
Hazard still needs to bulk up and build some stamina

thegoodjoehunt: Mourinho is so obsessed about winning, that he is ready to sacrifice any talent to reach his mark. Do you think Mourinho can go through a trophyless season to make sure his youngsters get a chance. Even if Barca lost today, I was glad watching Thiago Alcantara flourish against some of the best midfielders in the world.

biolabee: They've bEen here before.. They will rebuild too and they also have a war chast, a massive stadium, loyal fans

I need to go to allemain and watch one of the bundes games one day


I hear with 20 euros you will have a beer too...


Wunderbar!!

biolabee: Na that one be the only thing i write,,, but that boy is good
He cant get first team at Shekpe... Cech is the Oga on top,..

biolabee: Nah,,, with the loss of Goetze and possibly Ledosky, last season Kagawa though Sahin may be nought aback
klopp will be the last person they will release now
Maybe next season

With the 55m+ euros from Final spot. 35 from Goetze, another 30m+ from Ledosky and I hear Citeh is interested in Reus, Dortmund has secured their financial future, a long way off the disaster of the late 90s/early 00s when Bayern had to help them to avoid bankruptcy.. (i heard) DK is this true

biolabee: Varane was expressly recommended by Zizzou... director of football or so...
One exception maketh not the rule
Mou is not really a believer in youth.. check his records..

Chelsea has a good youth system and players (Kakuta,McEachran, etc) yet they still bought Lukaku, Oscar, Piazon
They dont do youth...




i dey o.. wetin we go talk na... market no good for Barca... They have to rebuild
Clear out: Abidal, Puyi, Valdes, Villa
Replacement and use sparing: Munian for Iniesta, Cesc has to step up now to the Xavi role or Biscuit

Get a top center back(Hummels?) and Courtois to replace Valdes...

There will be a dip though,,, but its one of those things

Its a cycle

thegoodjoehunt: Please I don't want Mourinho near that team. Mourinho can't mold youngsters. He messed up Canales, Pedro Leon, Nuri Sahin, Sarabia of Real Madrid. Messed up Balotelli at Inter Milan. Messed up Mikel, Nuno Morias and Phillippe Oliviera at Chelsea.

Mourinho has a thing of making great players look weak. Look at Crespo at Chelsea, Kaka at Madrid, Adriano at Inter Milan. The best Coach for Chelsea now is Klopp of Dortmund. Well, I don't think Dortmund is ready to part with him.

biolabee: The problem is that mou does not believe in youth and will not give these boys the opportunity
I have to give feggie weggie something he blends the youth with the old

Afam4eva: On behalf of myself and all the Barca and Madrid fans the world over, i wish to extend my hand of fellowship by congratulating the duo of Bayern Munich and Borrusia Doertmund for getting to the igodomigodo of european club football. The deserved it more than any team this season unlike the unfortunate incident last season when a local club in london stained that competition. We wish then the very best and hope that the best team wins in the final. Either way, it's good for the bundesliga which is currently challenging the La Liga to the top spot while the likes of the Serie A, Ligue 1, Portuges leaguye, Turkish league, Belgian league and the 7th placed Premiership look on.

thegoodjoehunt: Chelsea definitely got special years ahead and I hope my team Man City can also input lots of young talents too. My favorite Chelsea young players are:

Hazard, Piazon, Oscar, Mata, Luiz (I hate his defending style but I can't deny he is a massive talent), Lukaku, Kakuta, Marin, Bruyne, Aanholt. Men it is crazy.
