Pessi fans will not like this one.


And his very correct imagine struggling to score goals in a Farmers league makes me wonder how goals he would be scoring when he will be 37.

but despite man u struggles Ronaldo still find the the back of the net in a very tough league.

The difference is clear ✌️

Finding the back of the net with zero goals in six games Find another thing to say mister.

If this news is true, then Lewy is much much dumber than I thought.

Ibrahimovic is still playing top level football at 40years. At same age, Ronaldo de Lima had already retired from football.

Shall we then say because Zlatan is still playing well at an age De Lima had retired, Zlatan is a better footballer than Ronaldo? when we all know he can't even lace Ronaldo's boots. When De Lima was winning world best player at 20years old, where was Zlatan?

It's like this Ballon D'or miss is affecting his head.

OJEEMAH:
make e continue dey wail. We dey enjoy am

OJ, I am surprised Lewy is still saying all these things o. Are we really sure these Lewy news aren't fake cos it looks unlikely that an active player like Lewy will be making all these unprofessional comments about his colleagues.

NairaMaster1:
The man U team won twice.

No they only won UCL once in 2008. They won EPL 3 times but 1998/99 team also won 3 straight epl titles and one UCL.

Somehow, I think Mancity of 2017/2018 and Chelsea of 2004-2006 is more fearsome in reputation than 07/08 Man utd despite not winning UCL.

Angelfrost:
For a second I thought they were talking about the Liverpool player....

Mtchewwww.... Nobody I know! Next!!!

Lol You re better off not knowing I swear!

LesbianBoy:
You mean Chelsea 04/05 that was the year they lost just one game and had the fewest goal conceded

Btw, that man United were so good but underrated. They had Ronaldo, rooney, tevez all at their peak. No wonder they won the Champions league. The teams you mentioned none they didn't win the champions league

Yeah I meant 04/05 though it was also basically the same team as 05/06.

1998/99 Man Utd won UCL as part of treble. I think they also won it more convincingly (07/08 won due to a John Terry slip ). They were the king of comebacks against very strong teams like Intermilan, Juventus and Bayern. 07/08 team rode their luck vs a struggling Barca side in the SF and against Chelsea in the final.

I consider them stronger than 07/08 cos they always came back no matter the hurdle.

This is just a random Twitter poll na and not even from a renowned sports tabloid.

Officially, Arsenal's invincibles were awarded best ever EPL team by the Premier League authorities a few years ago ( around 2018).

Personally, I think 2017/18 Man city, 99/00 Man utd and 05/06 Chelsea are better than the 2007/2008 Man utd team

Psalmistproject:
Na ad. But since Igbos are also the highest group in the country that can afford to consume high quality products and services the ad is for them. Ask your self, how many common Hausa, or Yoruba men can afford houses in such areas?
Like I said common people.

I doubt this cos it would be a weird way of marketing. Why advertise in such a way that would exclude potential customers of non-igbo origin? Successful Igbo business men that I know are pan-Nigerian in their marketing strategies.

Even if we exclude Banana island, Lekki and Ikoyi dwellers, the middle class target market in Lagos comprises lots of Yoruba and South South Ethnicities as well. So I'm not sure your claim that they cannot afford 70-120million Naira housing units in VGC holds water.

Anyway, what do I know?

Chai, see chestbeating at its finest No single presentation of factual data to back up the claim of biggest estate.

Is this piece informative or just a mere tribal vaunt?

Mbappe deserves it. He is the best talent in the world right now ahead of Salah & Haaland.

WoundedLamb:
Lol... Nairaland relies on user generated content. So whatever you see is what what people are into. If you or anyone that likes Messi feels like he's not getting enough attention, write about him.

Oh nairalanders always write about Messi, just that the biased Ronaldo mods rarely bring his positive news to FP. Like when Messi won Laureus sportsman of the year which is a very big thing, Mods did not bring it to FP, but would rather bring Ronaldo wears 10million dollar Gucci shoes to FP instead.

Such blatant bias.

gulfer:
Overmars was not the 'Flying Dutchman'

Lol, Overmars was popularly called the flying dutchman cos of his insane speed on the pitch.

baralatie:
That is what I am saying!
Sending a text like that would be jumping the gun.
The lady who probably is looking or working against you will take advantage of that text

True, but my point is it's not fair on the guys! The boundaries at which this enters criminal zone is so vague.

In the same professional environment, some guys who have sent "you re looking sexy sweetheart" are now married to the same ladies today without any issues, while some others who sent the same text got criminalized and lost their jobs.

Question is what then really determines when it's a crime? Is it the different reactions of ladies to the same messages? Which implies that something that can be interpreted so differently needs to be evaluated properly before using it as a sure tool of career destruction.

angelfallz:
Exactly!! and it is wrong. If she does not want his flirting she can tell she is not interested. If he continues after that, then, that is harassment.

I agree with that assessment. Men are wired to try and woo women irrespective of any environment. What I dont think is appropriate is to demonize such trials so long as they are not overboard like the harassment example you gave.

But to expect them not to try at all is plainly unrealistic.

LordReed:
Why flirt in a professional environment? Why can't you wait till you are in a social or less formal situation to make moves? Don't mix business and pleasure, that has been a wise saying for a long time.

Lol, it's like you havent seen work colleagues get married right? I have few colleagues in different department in big four firms who married one another. Were they mixing business with pleasure when they were dating? Or you think the guys didnt send their eventual wives texts during the toasting period.

The potential ramifications of this trend is very vast o. A realistic check is critical.

baralatie:
No it is not!
It is the appropriateness of the words that is the issue

You and I know that in today's first world, it will be deemed inappropriate so long as the lady says it is even if it is just "you are looking sexy today, sweetheart" that was sent.

She only has to claim that she felt mentally harassed sexually by the most harmless of appreciation from the guy and boom he's toast.

Basically, it's now a crime for men to flirt with a woman in a professional environment. How then do office colleagues then get married? By reading one another's mind and jumping to the altar ba? How can one know when to draw the line? O ga o.

This is no longer sexual assault but just flirting that is bringing great men down.

Send a quote from songs of Solomon to a female colleague in appreciation and you are a goner. It's well.

Lo

Lol, this has Alexreports hand written all over it again. Like Olawepo Hashim & Maduka, like Anyim

Baba don see another underdoggest cash cow

Benny6944:
Ronaldo is 37 messi is 34. can you company Ronaldo at 34 to messi at 34 haha... even at 37 the old still has more good stats than that fraud merchant dwarf

Well, their ages dont matter on this subject. Both Messi and Ronaldo started to take the world by storm around the same time in 2007.

Is it Messi's fault that Ronaldo was mediocre in his early years 2003 - 2006?

Shouldn't Messi also be given credit for making the most of his earlier years than Ronaldo, since you are saying we should give credit to Ronaldo for still performing at an advanced age which Messi is yet to reach?

A 37 year old Quadrigella was Serie A highest goalscorer in 2019 with 36 goals even besting Ronaldo at Juve. Yet his career doesnt hold a candle to Michael Owen who had already retired before 36! simply because when Owen was ruling Europe at 22 where was Quadrigella?

2000 - 2002 team edges it for me.

They faced stronger sides then and triumphed. The Cameroon of Mboma and Etoo that they faced and lost to via penalties in 2002 final is much stronger than Egypt of this Afcon.

The team also beat a French team in their prime at the world cup and went on to reach the quarter finals which I believe supersedes their current nations cup trophy win.

OJEEMAH:
Prof's analysis

You got game bro

Lol thanks.

We are waiting for Pendu's own. Best Goalkeeper of 2022. Has conceded zero goals and assists this year

When you hear Pendulums criticize Messi this season, you'd think their own idol is any much better. Pls see stats below and see that Messi even betters CR this season in terms of direct goal involvements per game:

CR - 14 goals and 3 assists - ( 17 direct goal involvements in 26 games) - 0.65 g/a per game

Messi - 7 goals and 9 assists - ( 16 direct goal involvements in 20 matches) - 0.85g/a per game

Note that Messi plays as an attacking midfielder for PSG while CR plays as striker for Man U.

And Messi is just getting started while CR isnt likely to do any much better than he's doing.

#MESSIGOAT

goodheart01:
Now compare that to CR7s

CR na striker for Man U. Messi na midfielder for PSG, and it shows in their stats.

CR - 14 goals and 3 assists (17 direct goal involvements) in 26 matches.
Messi - 7 goals and 9 assists (16 direct goal involvements) in 20 matches.

Note that Messi is still just stepping up the gear at PSG. Not sure CR can do more than he's already doing at Man U.

Ropostic120:
Not the most popular footballer but the MOST POPULAR human being on earth.

Many don't even know the name of Portugal's president lol

Barack Obama says hi..

goodheart01:
With how many goals since his debut at PSG? ... Lol

7 goals and 9 assists in 20 games. Not bad for any other player operating from midfield but only bad cos its Messi. And he just chipped in another goal and assist today. So rest, Messi will still pepper your mind severally.

Meanwhile, the rate at which Messi hits the bar and post with his free kicks is alarming. He has already struck the bar 5 times from free kicks this season. In his career till date, he has sent over 55 free kicks crashing onto the bar.

To put this into perspective, other free kick specialists like Beckham, Juninho, Dinho, CR dont have up to 25 free kicks struck against the bar in their careers. For Messi, a free kick is more of a bar challenge and if the post were an inch taller and wider, he'd be the greatest free kick taker of all time.

Kilishihunter:
Him no need to dey wait to tap glory like one siuuu merchant na

Lol, I remember a match Portugal or Madrid were eliminated because Siu merchant was still waiting to take the last penalty when the victorious opponents had already gone back to their hotel

Pendu said I must do SIUU today se

jonsnow92:
The idea of the main Penalty takers of teams choosing to wait and take the last penalty still baffles me.
Very funny.
You should take the first Penalty and at least put your team on the score board.

That's why I like Messi. Na him dey first take penalty in shoot outs. No time to waste.

[quote author=OJEEMAH post=110017482][/quote]Lol, we no dey dispute that one. We dash him his handsomeness and Charisma over Messi.

If you check am now, na girls wey dey drool over six packs full the guy's followers.

Those wey dey follow Messi na people wey sabi ball. That is enough for us

Senegal is getting closer o.

In other news, Messi na baller abeg. Baba don register one goal and one assist in just first half away against last season's champions Lille.

And he hit the bar yet again with another free kick. That's number five free-kick against the post this season. GOAT.

GOAT of INSTAGRAM No arguments!

On the pitch however, Messi na him confirmed Boss!
