@ all mancs,

there was an argument today in my office.

who would win a match in wembley between british united and foreign united?


                     british

                       foster

neville         rio          brown         evans

fletcherino   scholes    carrick        giggs

               rooney        welbeck


                     foreign
                       
                        vds

rafael       vidic       o'shea        evra

park     anderson     gibson     ronaldo

              berbatov       tevez

never ever let a woman dispose your used condoms.

never ever let a woman persuade you to wash her undies.

you might catch whitlow.

ztyle:
. . .Na your boyfriend dey live on pussy. . .Never let a woman talk to you like this.

never ever let yourself open to be bashed by a woman.

St.Funmi:
You creep.

never ever let osunamazon cook stew for you.

she sometimes washes her genitals into the pot of stew.

never ever let a pregnant woman lure you into her bed.

you might damage the baby's head.

in my opinion, man united are clear favorites to progress. they are the champions, they are the better team, they are at home.

bullshit to all this psychology and inter being italian and resolute at old trafford, i don't think they have a chance of preventing man united

from scoring. to put things into perspective~~if man united had inter under the cosh like inter did for 10-15 mins in the second half,they'd

have scored 2-3 goals. coz they have a classier attack and honestly a team with much more quality.

also, man united have the best defence in the world at moment. vidic will be back and i don't see how inter can score away with that front 6!!!

inter are gobshit, old and lack ideas. they cannot beat United at ot.

i think 2-0 or 3-1 at ot for man united will be the 2nd leg result. inter's only chance was to beat a make-shift united defence at home

and they blew their chance today. jose mourinho was clamouring for a vidic's ban to be more than one game because he knows

his chances of winning will be better without the serbian. in fact considering they were the home team they were still second best.

fergie will play 4-4-2 next leg with scholes and carrick in mid-field and rooney up front,

inter won't have a clue how to stop united. serie a is rubbish still, i expect all three italian teams to bow out.

Wenger's new signings for NEXT SEASON
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hans Wunderbar (Aged 17) - brave, sporting, agile German keeper

Asbo (20) - Fiery midfielder, can challenge with either foot or both feet together. Unjustly treated by referees.

Tarquin Token-Local (21) - born a stone throw from Highbury in nearby Dorset. Plucked from obscurity at Southampton and taken to the World Cup by Sir Alf Ramsey aged minus na-na-na-nineteen.

Embrio (4 months) - Huge potential, another product of Arsenal's highly successful Artificial Insemination programme.

Celestine Tombola (19) - Spotted by Arsene Wenger playing schoolboy football barefoot in Lower Volta, Africa. Now a full Icelandic international.

Eric Iceberg (22) - Cool, artful, minor Nordic deity, with aversion to public transport.

Karma Chameleon (19) - Shapeshifting utility player, can be anything he wants to be. He comes and goes, he comes and goes.

Fabuloso Marvelo (18) - Quite simply the most wonderfulest player ever to have graced the game. It would be almost sacrilegious to tackle him.

Vauxhall Zafira (21) Tirelessly-running, capacious, cost-effective signing from Croatia.

Amoeba (15 nano-seconds) - single-celled organism signed from Barcelona, quite possibly the next Veira. Under laboratory conditions has been known to undergo fission and play on both wings at once

Miraculo (19) - another wonderful discovery from Brazil. The only outfield player fully licensed to use his hand.

sauron, you are not well.

Tmoni:
if Man Utd, Chelsea, Aston Villa can get results against this teams then, the problem lies with the GAYnners

i mean , Sunderland came to OT were playing 4-6-0, wave after wave of attack was thwarted off, took a lone goal to settle

can you blame arsene wenger?

he went from a league title challenging club to fighting for fourth place.

it can be very frustrating watching teams play 8-1-1 against you and denying your club the victory they deserve.

You know what? I keep having this argument with ppl. I won't go as far as to say Pac didn't release great albums but the whole thug image that made Pac have all that following was fake as hell.

Fact: Pac didn't sell drugs cuz he wasn't good at it. The drug dealers, his friends, told him not to sell anymore because he wasn't good at it and stick to music and that they'll give him any support he needs in that area.

[b]Fact:[/b]As mentioned in the blog he was in a school of performing arts. I'm not an advocate for rappers being gangsta or not being able to speak english, in fact I'm against it, but when you come out with your middle finger in the air, shouting in court, and acting for the camera, then you're trying to portray a certain image.

Fact:[/b]Another thing I tell ppl is that after "hit 'em up" when he was saying he screwed Faith Evans, biggie went up to him backstage at an awards show and confronted him and asked what all the bullshit was about, tupac's reply was,  "Its just business". Whenever I tell ppl that, they start making noise that its not possible Biggie went up to pac like he's some sort of Godfather. The way biggie handled it is the way grown men handle beef and not in some studio a thousand or so miles away making noise (thats a cowardly act, not gangsta lets not get it twisted).

[b]Fact:[/b]Biggie on the other hand, was the one with the sort of gangasta past, he sold drugs and held his corner well, nobody could mess with him there but just because he was rapping about Versace and dancing with puffy ppl thought he was soft.

[b]Fact: Tupac only started getting into trouble after he became a star when he joined deathrow, his first offence was jaywalking (thats when u cross a road without regards to traffic statutes). He went to jail for assault and he didn't like it (no normal human being sould love jail anyways) but he gets out and fools everybody like he's gangsta for being shot and going to jail.

houseboy or housegirl?

both!

He was a mediocre rapper.

His reputation far exceeds his actual skills. He was way worse than Biggie Smalls. He was even worse than MC Eiht, you West Coast partisans.

He was a fantastic hypocrite.

Dear Mama, respect women, blah blah blah. Then, on the other hand, mess the world! Some people have enough artistic skill to pull this off as the mere wrestling of the angels and demons that live within us all. Tupac didn't, so he just sounded like he was lying.

He was a thug by choice.

Thug Life, yea, rah rah. Tupac went to art school. He was a born actor. He started out as a happy-go-lucky backup dancer for Digital "Humpty Dance" Underground. He certainly ended up as a thug, but it's not like it was his destiny.

The whole Tupac fetish thing.

This is really the problem with Tupac. He got murdered as a young man with a lot of selling power left in him. That caused people with an interest in his career to love-vendor out his legacy to an insane extent in search of sales. Tupac, like many of us, was a bleeped up guy. But he was no great artist, and he was no great role model.

You know what his legacy has been, ultimately? White kids shouting "Thug Life!" out of their SUV windows. Which is what has led to the slow decline of hip hop music in general. Which was the most important new form of music America has seen in the last 30 years. Tupac was okay. The mythology of Tupac is ridiculous. And the aftermath of Tupac has done more to hurt the music he loved than MC Hammer ever did. Many other people in music have sucked more than Tupac; but nobody else in recent memory has had such a detrimental legacy.

RIP 2Pac, The Most Overrated Rapper in History

Well, folks, it's been a little over ten years since a pretty New York theater kid who reinvented himself as the ultimate West Coast thug solidified his iconic status by dying beautiful and young. Like seemingly everyone with a serious passion for hip hop I love 2Pac. But at the risk of speaking ill of the dead I also feel the need to point out that, with the possible exception of Eminem, 2Pac is the single most overrated rapper in history.

2Pac reigns unchallenged as rap's preeminent martyr, easily beating friend-turned-rival Notorious B.I.G, an infinitely better rapper and writer but a far less irresistible icon. Like most icons 2Pac's appeal is inextricably linked to his mutability. 2Pac was everything to everyone. Wildly antithetical groups and demographics could each claim him as their own. To teenage girls he was the fantasy boyfriend whose thug-life exterior hid the sensitive soul of a guy who grooved to the cornball drama of Don McLean's "Vincent" and filled spiral notebooks full of earnest poetry.

To feminists willing to look past the often virulent misogyny of his lyrics he was one of rap's few strongly pro-choice voices and the creator of uplifting pro-women anthems like "Keep Your Head Up" and "Dear Mama"

To backpackers and black nationalists he embodied in his tattooed and sculpted body and often pot and liquored-addled mind the lost promise of the Black Panthers and rapped eloquently about politics and the everyday struggle.

To gangstas, aspiring, studio, fake and otherwise, he was the realest thug around, an O.G who died living the dangerous life he rapped about. As is far too often the case in hip hop his violent death was seen as proof of his authenticity, not a grim sign that his life and ethos had spiraled dangerously out of control.

2Pac made some great music but he often seemed less interested in making great songs than in simply making lots of songs. He pioneered the quantity-over-quality sensibility that still functions as a malignant tumor decimating rap from inside. Even before his death his albums were loaded with filler and horrifically bloated. And though it's tempting to imagine what a 2Pac album produced entirely by Dr. Dre might sound like, 2Pac couldn't stand Dre and never would have tolerated Dre's perfectionism and impossibly high standards. So instead of working with the good doctor himself 2Pac settled for an endless parade of generic Dr. Dre soundalikes only too happy to crank out beats by the pound.

2Pac was capable of greatness but his work was hindered consistently by cheap sentimentality and even cheaper narcissism. He plagiarized himself to an almost comic extent, working endless variations on only a few stock themes. His adolescent glorification of gang life and facile thug fatalism both left permanent stains on an art form that still cranks out wack 2Pac wannabes at an alarming rate.

But then 2Pac's martyrdom and strange afterlife have a lot less to do with his inconsistent, repetitive and clichéd creative output than with his personal magnetism, physical beauty and early death.

Unlike so many of his peers 2Pac will never grow old or get fat. He'll never see his street credibility wane after starring in a UPN sitcom about an aspiring musician saddled with three wisecracking kids. He'll never embarrass himself by picking up a quick paycheck in Soul Plane 2. No, he'll live on forever as a beautiful young man whose potential had barely been tapped. People mourn the 2Pac that might have been as much as the imperfect creature who spent a mere twenty-five years on planet earth.

Ten years on we're still wrestling with 2Pac's formidable, contradictory legacy but the halo of perfection we give our dead heroes as a parting gift does a disservice to the lives they led and the music they made

spain versus england.

villa/torres versus terry/jaglieka.

can england take this one?

oyb:
akas/aliases come naturally to American spies; most of them are former career criminals anyhow

thats an uppercut for the bourne fans.

van vicker anyday.

he makes nigerian actors look like a tasteless lot.

apart from his looks and personality he is also a power dresser.

Ibime:
RA better be able to back this latest move with some serious cash. The squad is obviously not strong enough.

i agree with you here. new manager new players new philosophy will change things.

scolari was too soft for my liking and he never had the dressing room in his grip.

he deserved the dismissal.

~Sauron~:
You are an idiot. . . . . .U cannot differentiate between Intercontinental cup and the World Club cup
World Club cup. . . . . . FIFA organised competition and it includes clubs from all continents(Asia, Oceania, Africa, Europe, South America)
Intercontinental cup. . . . .A competition STRICTLY between South American clubs and European clubs(Not FIFA endorsed).

You are so uneducated you cannot tell the difference between the 2 competitions.
What did you do to the money spent on your child development?
I was told u used it to buy guguru and epa instead of staying in school.  Shame on you.

boy, did you just tame dayokanu? good job.

dinozzo:
its true, there are issues

Click

thank you, bros. let me quickly bookmark the page to get the list of affected games.

homosapien:
berbatov for sure

ibrahimovic is a magician. i think he has more than berbatov and he is faster too.

@ sauron,

you are very correct. not all ps3 games are region free.

moreover, it is the discretion of the developers to enfore coding if they wish. sony cannot control that.

this is what phil harrison said in 2006.

“The things that make a console region free are different from what makes games region free.” Voltage differences, plug styles and that sort of thing mean that there will naturally be different SKUs for different regions. But at the same time, software will be region free. It’s possible for developers to enforce whatever encoding and format limitations they want. “If they want to divide it, that’s their choice. But the concept is that content is region free.”
http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=8637 (last paragraph).
stop arguing with these ignoramuses.

deepzone and sauron(match made in heaven)

both cut from the same cloth.

but if you are relying on one of them to pull a rabbit off the hat in a champions league tie/big game who will deliver?

mature replies please.

@superstan
sauron is a lyricistwhere .?
so sauron has succeeded in fooling you superstan.

i have been reading nl's rap battle for years now and i think this is the best topical ever.

it was penned by sauron:

A soft wind blows up pages, my pen rages, tangling English language like Mazes
Ink stirring imaginations, lyrics creating visualizations, bastards can go to blazes.
Contemplation, on looking mediocrity, a student of Socrates, transcending philosophy
Projection, an offering, turning paper to a boxing ring; Muhammad is a mockery
Elapse of a second takes a century, words written as Ancient History, titled a mystery
Fingers and hands blistering, misery repeated again wisdom in the end whispering
Make the tyrants elope, expose weakness, go for the throat storm the bleeping beaches
Tear these oppressors to pieces, time for impeachments whoever this message reaches

Please believe this, speeches are insignificant we have our chance and we are missing it
Leaders aren’t omnipotent, flawed and admitting it is admirable but twisting shit
Just to one's benefit, is tyrannical we are not animals, fight back with all your soul
Government as it’s told, bleeping means mind control revolt and become whole
Back to work I go, beating my chest and screaming the message uncomfortable-n-restless
Unless we use our minds as weapons, we can be nothing but ineffective-n-wreckless
Make some connections, break these repressions “people” you should become aggressive
Our rights have been disrespected, become obsessive, The “Patriot Act” is deceptive.

if u disagree with this, show me anything better.

ARMAGEDDON
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Persuasion has commenced, this is an illustration of a gift
A manifestation of the legit, take a sit, as this situation starts to emit
Coming from a skeptic that is convinced civilization will cease to exist
The population has condensed to a point at which earth can’t persist
As disgusting as it is, humans are the reason the world’s in torment
Though it wasn’t our intent, now we know we’re not so intelligent
Earth shrieking as its stripped, obvious it’s bleeding in our grips
Not thinking of the consequence, shit, we just take what we can get
Ripped apart each continent, now at the point where there’s no stopping it
Raping our own mother, while we stare into the eyes of big brother
Bent on showing up one another, now nature can’t recover
If that wasn’t bad enough, these governments thinking they are tough
Ready to end the fuss at just a touch, not giving a Bleep about the rest of us
From the core to the crust, you can feel all energy giving up
I could say repent and trust, GOD will pull us through
But let’s be honest when is the last time HE spoke to you??
The end is near: I know this much to be true
Now just what the Bleep are you going to do??
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the plot plays out, here are some things to think about. . .
Electricity’s nice, could we have done without
How about no transportation to move us about
What if you had no goddamn bank account
What if there were no streets and signs
What if we had no way of perceiving time?
What if no one was to believe in the divine?
Think of a place that had no crime
No wars no bickering, what if no one was listening
Dang it, now my story is what you are envisioning
The beginning will be the same as the finishing!!!

~Sauron~:
How can u compare this GREAT Man Utd side to that Milan side of the 90s??

I understand they are different times but then. . . . . .United will NEVER win the league title with 36 goals.
Seriously speaking, i understand where u coming from. Vidic = Baresi, Evra = Maldini
Van Basten, Gulllit and Rijkaard can be Ronaldo, Tevez and Rooney but United are better.

milan won the scudetto with just 36 goals? roflmao

that must have been a tight season for them. they prolly won all their games with 1-0.

ilovetgirl:
@superstan
you are asking sauron to put his lyrics on beat , can he even rap ?? all sauron knows is how to insult people all over nairaland like tosinodeda said.

ilovetgirl = flowshow

sauron is a lyricist. i have read all his topicals and keystyles.

on this forum, there's no one better than him. ibime is another heavyweight but he doesn't drop topicals often for me to know his strength.

flowshow is not even in their league. being a netcee is not about shaz's pussy or ibkaye's head.

to be a netcee, u must battle and key in topicals on a regular basis.

tope2000:
Awww. . . . . boo hoo, dnt be mad cuz nobody want u
dont hate, appreciate
I vote sauron

wonders shall never end.

tope2000 enjoys rap battle? is this what they teach u in london?

@ topic,

2 heavyweights go head to head and i will have to vote sauron.

sauron's flow was easy to follow. he had several lines connected together like he is telling a story.

ibime made every bar isolated and unconnected to one another(conventional).

sauron 9/10, ibime 8.8/10

@ crespo,

are u a comedian?

topup:
[color=#008855]Q1. What do single men enjoy doing on Valentine's day?

Q2. However, if they can't do this, what do they often do/are forced to do instead?

Q3. Do men prefer to be single of Valentine's day?

Q4. Do single men think about their exs on Valentine's day?

Q5. What are single men most likely to be tempted to do on Valentine's day?

Q6. Is Valentine's day even significant in a single man's diary?
[/color]

single men go out there to prey on vulnerable single women. simple!

rikkard:
I am a working class single mother in need of a good, caring, romantic , muslim and God fearing man for a relationship that would lead to marriage. He should be tall ,humorous and working class. Please only serious minded people should get in touch . Thank you

are u ready to change your religion to christianity?

@ sauron,

i think you should put your lyrics on chrome.

you have a way with words and if you don't like showbiz, you can make a living with ghostwriting.

with what i have read from you on the rap battle thread, you can make an album from those keystyles.

quit this argument and get busy.

~Sauron~:
I think the team has been structured in a way that players cover for the weakest link.
I still cannot believe O'Shea has been part of the back four that kept clean sheet in 11 games.

is it safe to say this man united team are like the ac milan of the early 90s?

if sir alex wins the league again(3rd consecutive time) + uefa champions league i think they will become the milan of the 90s.

this team is reaching for greater heights.

this is the battle of the heavyweights.

the two rappers should have been in the finals in my candid opinion.

i think it's a draw.
