RomanceRe: Can You Die For Your Parents? by Timoleon(m): 11:21pm On May 16, 2022
No. I believe one of the core reasons of raising children is so they can live for you not die for you. Only extremely selfish parents (all parents are selfish. Story for another day) would want their children to die in their place.
CrimeRe: EFCC Arrests Ahmed Idris, Accountant General Of The Federation For N80billion F by Timoleon(m): 10:02pm On May 16, 2022
Damn! Why would a man be so greedy? Wealth of a nation you sideline into private purse. If one were to spend 1million Naira monthly, it will take over 83 years before 1billion is exhausted. Yet a single person wants 80billion to himself. This news hit me with deep sadness because this kind of fraud is going on in almost all sectors at varying degrees. The common man’s rising expectations is met with rising frustration. He is ultimately left with a hope of hopelessness. I’m tempted to say there was a country but damn the Nigerian dream has gone to the dogs.

I have provided verifiable information for you yet you still choose to argue. Do the maths yourself Na.

SportsRe: Asisat Oshoala Wins Golden Boot With Barcelona Female Team by Timoleon(m): 2:02pm On May 16, 2022
No need to laugh. Show how you got your 70% or 90%.

Below is the 2010 World Cup squad. Meanwhile, Spain had won its first Euros in 2008 a full month before Pep Guardiola played his first match as a professional coach. Spain’s winning machine was already up and running before Barca’s run of dominance began (credit to Guardiola, the mastermind for Barca’s dominance). However one thing I have noticed in football especially amongst Barca/Pep fans is that they never give the Spanish coaches credit for their successes. Success kicked start even before Barca’s successes during that period began.

Villa has not even played For Barca yet. His signing was announced a month before World Cup though but he didn’t play for Barca until a month after World Cup. Still, all of barca’s Contingent at the World Cup for Spain didn’t even amount to 50% of the squad let alone a whooping 90% make una fear God Na.

pique puyal alba, xavi, busquets, iniesta, villa and Pedro made d first 11 in Spain squad n all were in barca bk den..

SportsRe: Asisat Oshoala Wins Golden Boot With Barcelona Female Team by Timoleon(m): 10:52am On May 16, 2022
Don’t blame them. Majority of people just repeat what they have been told over time. In the entire World Cup squad for 2010, the number of Barcelona players in the team did not even amount up to 50% but the idea that peps Barca is the source of all of Spain’s success has been spread so much people can hardly firer truth from fantasy.
pmc01:
There were 5-6 Barca players regularly in the first 11.

How did you arrive at 90% then?
SportsRe: Asisat Oshoala Wins Golden Boot With Barcelona Female Team by Timoleon(m): 10:42am On May 16, 2022
This is one of the greatest lies propagated over the years. I give you this for free. The number of players from Barca in Spain’s World Cup winning team did not add up to 50%.
Geofavor:
The guy was very correct. Every football lover without bias knows this. As a result, Barca gained a lot of new fans during this period.
Pep's Barca won everything that could be won in a season. No one had ever done it. Then that same team went ahead to win the world cup (Spain's team was more or less Barca. Less than 5% were from other clubs).
Barca dominated during this period, not just through winning trophies, but in almost every game. The possession was insane. You would see something like 90% - 10% possession. And they did this in the local leagues and in the UCL.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: West Ham United Vs Manchester City (2 - 2) On 15th May 2022 by Timoleon(m): 8:38pm On May 15, 2022
1992 is a long time away from when Abramovich took over.
quickly:
I started watching premiership in 92, the first premiership that Blackburn won with Alan shearer. Chelsea were whipping boys. Chelsea started to improve when the former owner hired Gianluca Vialli as coach and Vialli was able to bring Serie A players over like Guilt, Zola Etc.


Back then in the 90s SERIE A was the league and not premiership. They showed Serie A matches on TV especially Sunday with the likes of Maradona playing

English football was so boring with their Kick and follow football. That’s y they got thrashed in Europe.

Only Liverpool and Arsenal played quality football but then Ferguson started winning with Cantona and his academy boys

Thanks for the correction. I wanted to correct the impression that Chelsea were a relegation team.
KingWarri:
Wrong! Chelsea were second the season (2003/04 season) Abramovich took over not before.

The 2002/03 season, Chelsea finished 4th on the table.

How can a team who came second be a relegation team? Did Chelsea spend a lot of money? Yes! But don’t distort facts to score your arguments. Chelsea were second the season before abramovich took over.
quickly:
Chelsea too was a relegation team before abramovich oil money

Chelsea and Fulham was a London derby of equals

Before abramovich
