It shows how far we have fallen when we start kicking kids. It's getting sillier and sillier.

Rafa and Emenalo are by far the worst things to have happened to Chelsea. Team has no DM, no strength in midfield, and cant get in good crosses. Rafa saw we were getting skinned in the midfield and had no response. No wing play, no long balls, no nothing.

******************************

A big congrats to everyone ... and to our team - Di Matteo, Petr Cech, Drogba, Ashley Cole, Mikel, Lampard . . .

Trust Guardiola's judgement on the pitch ke? A guy who has the best players in the world and has no Plan B for a 10 man Chelsea team . . . No thank you. I trust no Barca managers.

Meanwhile Chelsea sacks Guardiola . . . Good one guys

When Is Palm Sunday ?
Palm Sunday, the final Sunday before Easter Sunday, marks the beginning of Holy Week. Christian churches distribute palms (and sometimes pussy willows) on Palm Sunday to commemorate Christ's triumphal entrance into Jerusalem, when palm branches were placed in His path, before His arrest and Crucifixion on Good Friday.

What do people do?

Many churches hold special Palm Sunday services that involve distributing palms to the congregation. Branches of olive, box elder, spruce or other trees are used in places where palms are not available. They are later hung up in houses for good luck, buried to preserve crops, or used to decorate graves. The custom of decorating graves with blessed palms still exists in some parts of Germany. Ashes from these palms are used for Ash Wednesday.

Processions take place in Spain, particularly in Seville, during Holy Week and start on Palm Sunday. These processions portray the Passion of Jesus Christ, which refers to Jesus’ suffering prior to his trial and execution. Piazzas in front of many churches throughout Italy are filled with people, including vendors selling olive and palm branches. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem is often reenacted with a procession in Rome on Palm Sunday. The priests and deacons wear red garments and blessed palms are distributed during the church service.

Many churches in Greece celebrate Palm Sunday in a solemn manner. They call it kyriake, heorte ton baion, heorte baiophoros, or Lazarus Sunday, because they have the feast of Lazarus’ resurrection prior to Palm Sunday. Many Greek Orthodox churches celebrate Palm Sunday at a later date than the date that many western churches have for the day. This is because many Greek Orthodox churches still use the Julian calendar, which predates the Gregorian calendar used in many countries.

Background

Palm Sunday is the start of Holy Week, which is the week before Easter, commemorating events in the last days of Jesus Christ’s life. According to Christian belief, Jesus rode into Jerusalem where people gave him a hero’s welcome during the Jewish Passover celebration. They heard about his miracles and regarded him as the leader who would deliver them from the Roman Empire’s domination. They carried palm branches, which is a traditional symbol of victory, and spread them throughout the streets before him.

Many western churches have observed palm blessings and distributions to the congregation on Palm Sunday since the middle ages. Early references to Palm Sunday observations, including a procession and blessing of palms, go as far back as the fourth and eighth centuries. Many modern Christian churches, including the Catholic and eastern churches, as well as the Lutheran, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches celebrate Palm Sunday as part of Holy Week.
Symbols

https://c.tadst.com/gfx/600x400/palm-sunday-usa.jpg?1
The palm branch is traditionally a symbol of joy and victory. It is a sign of victory over the flesh and the world in Christianity. It is also associated in memory of Christian martyrs. Willow is commonly used instead of palm branches in some European countries. They are sometimes placed in the fields to ensure that there will be good crops.

Am watching the match on Football First now.

Its 20 minutes in. Ramires has received the ball 3 times (losing it once).

Mikel and Meireles have each had over 30 touches of the ball already.

Ramires is just not involved in the play, hiding on the pitch all the time.

Leave Ramirez jare. You can't complain after a brace . . .

Two problems we had were Ramirez and Lampard. Mikel Obi though should never have been on that pitch.

Torres has really improved but how a 50m striker can miss an open net is beyond belief.

It's pretty simple when you don't score you can play all you like but you will get punished. We need to take our chances.

@Molly,

Can you imagine Libya a country of 6 million citizens disrespecting Nigeria in this manner ? And yet he was so quick to recognize them, SIMPLY BECAUSE AMERICA, BRITAIN AND FRANCE did, all who are getting free oil thanks to their parts in this war. At the moment Libya is the easiest place in the world to invade, NATO and the rebels have done more than 80 percent of the job required by destroying most if not all of Libyas air crafts, yet Nigeria is scared of Libya. Even if we are scared, we should at least issue a strong verbal warning, keeping in mind that we pride ourselves to have the biggest ground troops in Africa, rather than plead as though we are a country full of men with vaginas ( NO SEXISM INTENDED) .

Edit: ^^^ Olaoye you are a retárd! Stop spamming

Let me get this straight, do you want us to invade Libya? What makes you think we are scared of Libya? TNC is the govt on ground now and it was a good decision to recognize them. Even Russia does and China has communication channels with them. Saudi recognizes them. War crimes like rape happens in most wars. Our government tried to evacuate our citizens but some refused to leave. Now Foreign affairs has sent a strong message to TNC about the safety of Nigerians in Libya and also they remain in communication. This is possible because we recognized them as the new govt.

Absolute bollocks mate. How have Lagosians gone from hanging off the doors of a Molue bus to queueing orderly at bus-stops for a BRT bus? How have Lagosians gone from perceiving Oshodi as a "never to be revived" place to a place where you no longer loiter and trade on the streets? How have Nigerians come to accept bus lanes? Red light at traffic lights? No crossing of highways?

Please, stop making excuses for leaders. People break the law because they can. If there's a consequence for throwing litter into your drains, people will not do it. That consequence can only be realised by enforcing the law; and enforcing by law enforcement agencies doing their jobs. Who makes sure LEAs do their jobs?

It's a simple solution. Sort out the head and the rest will follow.

My friend sharrap dia. When last where you in Lagos? Keep believing the hype. . .

Things take time. Even with the four years of Fashiola the same issues still persists. The same bad roads, same terrible drainages, same flooding, same crime and insecurity, same thugs and area boys, same dirty streets, yes same trading on the streets, same crossing of highways, same corruption, same lack of portable water, same traffic. There may have been slight improvements in a few areas but holistically there's a whole lot left to be done.

^^ You're going to give yourself a heart attack one of this days. I'm sure when you sleep you see Jonathan. When your coffee gets cold, its Jonathan. You get fired from office for spending the whole day on Nairaland . . . It's Jonathan Retardeen.

http://ascology.com/news/local-news/19889-Where-The-Jonathan-Elected.html

OPINIONS & SENT - Since President Goodluck Jonathan was sworn in on 29 May 2011, insecurity has worsened, unemployment has skyrocketed, inflation has risen and the judiciary is in tatters. And Nigerians are asking, ‘where is the president we elected?’

Unemployment has skyrocketed? Where did he get this information from? What informed logic led to this assertion? Inflation has risen? Are you serious? You must know something that Sanusi doesn't because he tells us inflation has reduced and ministry of finance tells us GDP is rising. And concerning the Judiciary, did this writer miss a social studies class in primary school where separation of powers was explained?

Your choice of words are very sensitive as a leader, Go check out Obama,he is always diplomatic with words and it sends an unsure message but you can still see hope and fear in his choice of words.

He is not Obama, He isn't a President. He is a security adviser and he is saying if we do not do something about our security, terrorism would not go away on its own. I am ashamed at the comprehension skills of some Nairalanders.

Cant you guys read or is comprehension difficult? Stop quoting him out of context. This is what he said

Kizilala:
He warned that unless adequate arrangements were put in place in terms of training and retraining of security operatives on modern security management that is technology based, and provision of modern equipment, there might not be an end to the growing insecurity across the country, saying that “terrorism has come to stay”

Will terrorism go away on its own if we don't work on our security?

I would want to meet this Mrs Sanders one day. She seems to know Nigeria more than its citizens!

How come our leaders are so easily swayed to share Nigerian domestic affairs with the US Ambassador And why is Mrs Sanders the one interviewing people here and there Too much poke-nose from Americans if you ask me.

My dear this is what I do not get. Everyone seems so happy to talk to her and divulge all their fears and issues. Is she their therapist or is she using "jazz"? Na wa o

^^^ My friend shaaaarrraaaaaaaaaap!

Stick needles in your eyes if you can't handle the yanks opinions about the grossly ineffective and corrupt Governor from Bsayelsa State!

Retardeen Jonathief Odechukwu.

My guy, I am only asking for facts. Na wa for you sha.

baslone:
Expressing his personal evaluation of the candidates, he characterized Buhari as "honest, hardworking
and sincere," and told the ambassador that Buhari would eliminate corruption.

But he criticized Buhari for having an "ineffective campaign organization," observing that he was too
loyal to those who had helped him in the past and reluctant to dismiss some who were detrimental to his efforts."

A Northern Chief Justice supporting his fellow Northerner. This guy was already compromised and couldn't handle his position effectively.

Also see the highlighted. What does "detrimental" mean. Do these guys have shady past or are they corrupt. If Buhari couldn't deal effectively with "detrimental" people in his campaign what makes this old compromised Justice think he would not selectively fight corruption, if he would fight it at all?

This whole thing is completely useless and can only make sense to the same CPC-goons on nairaland who like to spin any and everything against Jonathan. This is a conversation between people. No proof offered, no facts tendered, no legitimacy requested. Just what was chequered about his past? How exactly was GEJ corrupt? What exact case did the EFCC have against GEJ? Why is Dambazau afraid that Jonathan was having visitors from the South? On what exact issues were Jonathan influenced by the so called clique around him? If Yar'adua knew he was going to die wouldn't if have made sense to actually have a good relationship with his vice?

It's all co'ck and bull as usual. Anyone with hard facts should show it but hey you guys were never interested in facts were you?

How can people still worship at this guy's church Shame on them

Cannales on loan . . . We can also get Mathieu Valbuena.

Lets see how the next 3 days turn out to be . . .

With the way "mancunians" have been playing these past weeks there's real cause for concern. At the moment we are not good enough to match their speed, counter-attack or midfield.

It's time to bench Lampard and Drogba. We need younger players to be given a chance. We already have enough strikers or I would have loved to add Berbatov to our list. The guy obviously has no place in Ferguson's plans. (Drogba, Torress, Kalou and Anelka should be offloaded)

We need a CM and a winger. For CM, we could get Sergio Canales from Real. JM may be tempted in an Drogba or Torress (hell give him both) exchange with this guy. He is young, creative and quick. For winger, since Arsene wants to sell all his stars why don't we do Walcott? Wishful thinking though.

Can we please give Kalou off for free? Who is that guy bribing to remain in the team?

I'm really sick and tired of all you CPC supporters that have nothing to do but lambast Jonathan about any action and inaction. It is childish, disgraceful and sickening.
