I prefer Benzema and Torres
na by force?

This Chidicrisis guy is suffering from midlife crisis

Dayo

Etoo, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Klose, Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Iniesta, Xavi, Asharvin and other world class players are not in my team
I cant put everbody in ma team

I didnt want to use Gerrard as a support striker cos Benzema is ma player anytime anyday

     Torres, Benzema                 (Gerrard as sub)
Ribery, Masch, Messi, CR7

Thats the killer attack/midfield

Tocdee
u prefer carragher to Carlvalho? God forbid!!
Carlvalho is one of the best around.

Evra? i dunno who else to put. Evra to me is berra than clichy, cole, Abidal and co

@tbk417 u sed mikel's an slowpoke?
-He's d only naija player sure of playin in d CL every year.
-He's d only naija playa in d top 4 clubs in epl
-He's one of d highest paid naija currently.
Is dat ur definatn of an slowpoke? Dat means u do nt exist

cant u speak english to save ur life?
i dont argue with tadpoles. geddit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tkb417 ,
if mikel is an example of ur knowledge of slowpoke, please i will like to be one.

granted!!! ure hereby declared nairaland number 1 resident nincompoop

most of the commentators here calling mikel names represent regrets in their various homes.

commentators, regrets in thier homes? u need a home in yaba cos i cant pick ur point

it is funny when a two legged man who is created with no form of disabilities can do nothing but condem others.
have u for once asked urself why u are not playing or why is amodu not mentioning ur name.

are u naturally a retard? do u think everyone plays footie for a living? do u ask urself questions b4 posting?
or are u about to run amok cos u seem not to have any iota of sense

pls i do not mean insult, have u ever asked urself or even seat back one day to compare ur achievements with the so called slowpoke. if u have done that and confirm that the slowpoke in question has done more for himself, his family, community, state and nigeria as a whole, it will not be bad to say or conclude that u are less than an imbe,

i can safely conclude that ure one of the hopeless 9ja remaining on the surface of the earth. get the population reduced by commiting suicide or do sumfn cos 9ja dont need u. kill urself or sumfn

sometimes i look at the number of comments on yar adua and compare it with comments on mikel. mikel is fast growing too popular that everybody wants to talk about him.
he has become too important to be ignored

im sure they produce imbeciles in torrents in ur hood cos u sure cant comprehend simple flow of oyinbo

in ur clan, an slowpoke cannot be poor?
dont be in a hurry to make points cos if ure given a decade to defend ur asinine posts, u wont come back to make sense!

go play with some other retards cos im busy

and for others having difficulties in understanding the word slowpoke
an slowpoke is someone whos above the level of idiocy and whose IQ is between 25 and 50

ok u want synonyms
dolt
blockhead
idiot
stupid
dunce
asshole
retard like chidicrisis
nincompoop and etc

pick the one that suits you

Hes got potentials yeah

he should be high up there doing magic on the field but who do we have?
an slowpoke!

back to the game
it wasnt becos Mikel didnt play well that the eagles played badly.
Presently, we have a set of over rated gangsters that cant play footie. Their is a dearth of natural/skillful footballers in the national team

i dont know who to blame but i think the people runnin footie in this country dont know jack
we shld scrap the super eagles and concentrate on age group competitions cos this team will come last in the WCQ campaign.

they cant qualify if threatened with death sef.
assholes

To all those who feel Gerrard is overrated.

This is a quote from Kaka. One time world footballer of the year corroborating another ersthwile world footballer of the year

“If I had to choose three, I would pick Cristiano Ronaldo, because of his skill and speed; Messi, because of his flair and skills; and Steven Gerrard, who for me is the complete modern player.”

If Gerrard is a complete modern day player, i wonder why some people think hes overrated.

I agree with Kaka, hes one of the few very talented footballers we can find around. same for CR7 and Messi

fanstastic players ill love to have in my team.

imagine these combo pf first Xi

1) Cech
2) Maicon
3) Evra
4) Mascherano
5) Vida
6) carvalho
7) CR7
Benzema
9) Torres
10)Messi
11)Ribery

This team will kill any team for decades!!!

It's actually the other way around. It's more painful when you know you failed yourself - could care less what others think. There is a saying i ascribe to ; 'Reputation is what others know about you, honor is what you know about yourself'

ok i give up. its cool

if everybody will have that kinda strong conviction, then we all will have a happy society
as for me, cheating is bad when married but, never say never

i don smoke weed and cigar b4.

no biggie, just livin it up tho.
Not saying its cool sha

This goes to others
abeg, put the mtn/zain/ glo tracker on ur cars oo (whatever it is, not advertsing for anybody)

I know a friend who bought a new civic and was robbed.
can u guys imagine where the car was picked up?

One small hotel in Yola
The police arrested 2 young men and a lady in possession of 145k cash, a rifle and a lotta hemp.

so, guys, get the tracker fast

This thread is annoying. Why would anyone in their right mind cheat on a life partner?
Cheaters are the scum of the earth.

are u speaking in tongues?

will you lie to ur partner? or lemme put it this way, in the course of the matrimony for say 40 years, are you saying for once, none of the couple is never gonna lie to the other party? and if it happens just once,
tell me why would anyone in thier right mind lie on a life partner?
did u mean to say sinners are the scum of the earth or only cheaters?

get ur beliefs straight. na intelligent discuss be this no be rap

Tkb417 e dey pain u,abi na u wan friend d girl? Which 1 b ur own self? @ atreus,oga no vex,I wanna b a friend 2 dt sharp cousin of urs,kindly gv me her contact information on FACEBOOK, A BEGGGG!!! I don fall in luv wt am,lol,im successchild_isaac@yahoo.com on facebk,tanx

Nefa

to all shouting never and nefa

lets assume sir alex retires tonight.

who will you recommend as the man that can fit into ferguson's shoes??

things to consider: managerial experience in england, success in england and in the champions league, character and ego, a manager players like ronaldo, rooney and ferdinand will respect.

Fabio Capello!!

Mourinho? Is that a joke?
what will happen to our footie academy?

abeg, the authorities at OT aint jokers, they know footie like the back of their hands
Footie isnt all about winning at all cost. . . .
If Jose comes to OT, we might win a few trophies cos of the sructures on ground, the money from the Glazers but?
what happens to the legacies SAF has built?
what happens to reserves?
what about the developmental effort of the mattyrs (both living and dead) to make UTD a self sustaining footie club?

Jose isnt for us, hes cut out for the fire brigade kinda thingy a la Real madrid and co
I'll go for a Capello or an O' neil cos of his seemingly good disposition to young players
with adequate funding, O' Neil will do well at the long run. His first 3 years may be wobbly but over a medium to long term, he should get us back on track!!

Life after SAF may be difficult times cos if we make mistakes , we might end up changing our gaffer like clothes
i hope the authorities and SAF himself are taking this very seriously

One United!!!

I have a cousin. A girl. We have a very special r/shp. We're family,but what we hav is more than that. We're rily close because we're both very alike;we're both cynics,we're both critics and we're both very wary if not distrustful of life's sappier emotions,we're smart as a whip,witty,etc. These similarities make me closer to her than i've been to a lot of relatives even though she's just a teenager(i mean,how many teenagers can have a logical argument with u over,4 xample the Israeli/Palestine crisis or the causes of the 1st n 2nd world wars?). She's more mature than her years;she thinks,speaks n acts with an insight that never fails to surprise me. She has problems relating with her parents,her dad especially,mayb its because he's the typical authoritarian Benin father(lol). She also has anger issues. I think i'm an outlet for a lot of her shit,but that's okay. She needs a friend,and i'm there for her. I always will be. Anyway,ydai she was at my place,she just branchd there from skul. She was doin sumn inside when her phone rang with one of those flash messages. I didnt knw what it was until i'd read it. It was 4rm a guy who said sumn like,'where were you? You knw i dnt like it when u dont pick my calls'. So i was curious. I went thru her fone n read some sappy(ok so mayb some of 'em were original)love texts 4rm the guy. I xpected her to diss him right away-except she didnt. She sounded confused,like she was actually considerin his proposal(there wasnt an actual proposal in any of the txts,i just got the feelin that there was an underlyin proposal of some sort underneath that crap). The more i read,the clearer it became to me that they were in a r/shp of some sort,or at least they were abt to get into one. Normally i'd go to her dad or mom,but that doesnt seem like a viable option. I just cant wrap my mind around that she might have a bf. I mean,for cryin out loud,she's just 14!(she'l be 15 this year,bt that's inconsequential-she's still a kid!). So i need insightful,practical advice on what to do.

and apart from the other skills u have, the one u failed to identify is amebo skills
whats ur biz in what she does? isnt she intelligent and knowledgeable enuff like u made us believe to know having a boifee at that age is 'wrong'.
why would u read all her mssgs without asking her? what were you expecting to see?

aproko 2009

Lies!!!!!!!!!

To all the ladies shouting never, are u saying u never cheated on ur boifees?

U were never smooched or kissed by someone who wasnt/isnt ur boifee?

Never say never. You can only pray to avoid circumstances that could lead to temptations

Dayokanu

my sis is now a UTD fan cos of CR7. she feels the boi is cool.
i dont think so tho

Ibime
ure hereby banned from saying rubbish here
inspector gadget

David Villa. . .Fernando Torres. . .Karim Benzema. . .Samuel Eto'o.

Henry still does his thing now and then.

@TKB
Torres is totally skilled, but I'd pick Villa over him. Villa is a more complete striker than Torres. . .best summarized way I can put it.

i dont like Villa. He reminds me of Morientes

Im waiting for the EPL maga that will buy him, then u guys will see the 25th wonder of the world.
The guy cant pull the kind weight Torres is pulling presently.

Torres is the future of Spain!
Potential world foootballer of the year.
Even if they dash Villa 2 more legs, he wont win any personal thingy.
Torres is a footballer!

Are u high on drugs??
Torres better than David Villa??

Villa is one of the hardest working front players you'll find.
Maybe slightly less than Rooney and less than Tevez, other than that you're struggling to name names.
He works harder than Torres for sure.

And Villa isnt a player who just scores goals from scraps and doesnt get involved in the build up.
His passing ability for a striker is peerless. In the Euros he dropped into Spain's midfield and didnt look out of place next to fantastic passers like Xavi, Fabregas and Iniesta. And he linked that midfield to the attack where Torres was leading the line.

A few seasons ago he managed 11 assists in the league which was the most of any player that season and as many as Dimitar "Genius" Berbatov has ever managed. Not that he has quite the vision of Berbatov or Rooney, but he sees and plays a pass better than any other striker of his type except maybe Henry as he played a similar role for Arsenal.

Even more than that, he tackles back. Sometimes rashly like Rooney. He recently got sent off for two yellows and he's always battling it out rather than letting others do it as you're suggesting. Are you sure you've actually watched him over an extended period? Because it doesnt sound like it at all.
David Villa is GOLD!!!!!!

anything to discredit a Pool player will make you feel good shey?.

Torres is a better footballer than Villa.

oh yes I agree Torres isnt as good as Villa

oh no. Torres is the best european striker!!

Ibime

speak for urself . . .

some of us had wealthy enuff parents . . .dont try to decode that cos I never said my pops is/was wealthy

but then I started supported Arsenal without having to view so much of matches . . .howzthat ?

almost everybody in my set way back 1990/1991 had a club in Europe, we had a guy then in Mayflower that was nicknamed ARSENAL and he was a good player and the name suit a lot of us so we decided following results on the back pages of Sunday Times, Concord, Tribune, Sketch and Punch (best believe they werent even the leading news daily then). I had a couple of friends that were doing the local baba ijebu on em clubs them . . .

did you attend Matflower?

ollll booooiii
u be correct person o Did you meet any of them Awolowos in ur set?

Dont mind Ibime
the guy think say na only am don live for london b4

Ibime
na my papa get national stadium

BLASPHEMY!!!
They were in the same La Liga when Etoo was winning the Pichichi like his village's Chieftaincy.
There's no striker like Samuel Etoo. He is a beast.

put them in the same team and ull understand.

Torres was just 18 in Atletico. so wht did u expect?

Essien is just like Gerrard but ill pick Gerrard for the 'extra'

Hes a motivator, the one they call captain fantastic!!!!!!
Essien is my kinda player too

Why na?. . . . . Mustay is a sound guy. . . . .

With the exception of Arsenal fans of 1998 vintage, there is a strong possibility that any Naija-based person claiming to have supported an English club pre-DSTV is telling porkies and must be queried. . . . we couldn't even get EPL games on Satellite in Naija. . . . and I am not talking cable, I am talking satellite dish!. . . . EPL teams were nothing but notches on continental teams' bedposts during the nineties. . . hence any Naija man that claims they started supporting English teams from viewing UCL matches is most likely telling porkies as well (****cough, cough, tkb ) . . . Dayokanu can testify.

bastard
im a soccer fan from day 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i started supporting UTD 1994m u started supporting Chelsea 1996 ?
so tell me how urs is diff from mine.

Ol'boi e be like say u think say na only u live for obodo oyinbo abi
go siddon for ur cubicle
olodo rabata

Dayo no sabi anything aprt from telematch and football made in germany by Dudu orumen.

Torres ke??
Robin Van Persie has done better than him this season.

abi u don smoke weed ni?
whos Van rapist?
Torres has been injured for the better part of the season

when he plays, he causes trouble

hes a better player than eto'o sef

An average nigerian talks rubbish under normal condition, thus i don't blame most of you that paste rubbish, just because it's free to paste. Some peoplw that paste all this rubbish don't even know anything about soccer or probrably just start watching football last year. It is fallacious to think or say that barca can easily be beaten by any team this season. barcelona has been a great team and would always remain a great team. It is a fact that barcelona plays the best football on planet earth. I don't think there is any team that can win games with somebody like valdes in thier goal post. Barca is the only team that doesn't share possesion with any other team, they must always take atleast 55% no matter the nature of the march or opponent. Barca has produced more world best than any other club. Barca has scored more goals than any other club in the world. There is no saeson that a barca player would not be among fifa three best players. At present barca has the best forward on earth.Barcelona is second in uefa five years ranking. Barca must score against any opponent with the likes of henry eto and the wonder kid (lionel messi). The only club presently that can withstand barca is no other club but liverpool. Bayern have very good players and they play very good football but the problem is will they get hold of the ball because barca will definately hide the ball away from them. Ribery will become a complete defender that day after all barca did it against man u when ronney became a defender. Barca has what it takes to beat any club mostly interms of midfield and attack. We are going to teach liverpool how to play soccer because we will definately meet at semi. The final is going to be barca against man u or villareal. Mark my words. It is only good players that supports barca, barca don't harbour criminal and "agberos" like some clubs do. Great players have graced barca than any other club. Ronaldo, ronaldinho, rivaldo, romario, marodona, just to mention but a few. I support barca because i love good football. Barca is a graet club and a treat to any other club. barca 4 life, bayern no reach play.

you have plenty time to type rubbish
how many UCL have you won with ur champagne soccer?

Barca is at par with Porto in UCL trophies won
shame!!

dont mind Chacal . . .he is still hurting from the scousfest  

how can u compare Gerrard with all the shitty players in Manure's midfield save for Scholesy ?

we dont have shitty midfielders. Gerrard is just better thats all

Fab and Arteta still have a lifetime ahead of them to prove themselves

Arteta compared to Gerrard? hehehehe

Gerrard as an individual should be studied in tertiary institutions in analysing the word/factor/phenomenon called MOTIVATION !!!

MINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 2005, he won the UCL MVP playing centrally and RB on some occasions; but then 2005 doesn't fall between 1998 and 2008, does it?

im waiting for his response.

Michael Ballack! what does he do?

nothing. Old age don set in

How laughable?? How many goals has he scored against United or Chelsea until this season??
When has he ever made a significant impact in any game against the BIG 4 teams in England??
I can remember him giving a back-pass that allowed Henry to score in a game at Highbury.

how many goals has Fabregas scored against the other big teams?

That is because he is no good as a central midfielder.
Benitez will not play Xabi Alonso and Mascherano at the same time if Gerrard can be trusted as a central midfielder.
If he was that good as a CM, Liverpool woulda won the Premiership a long time ago.

I doubt if they had Mascherano that time but that isnt the case.
Gerrard has played more as a CM than any other role for Pool.
Gerrard played more as a CM when the won the UCL

Gerrard won UEFA world footballer of the year in 2004/5 because Liverpool won the Champions League(Thatz no brainer).
David Beckham won it in 1999 when United won the Champions League also. Was Beckham the best United player in 1999??
I call all that the British hype. Had Ronaldo not scored 42 goals last season, Carrick or Hargreaves woulda won it.

and so? isnt this the same arguement people like Dayo throw at us when we show off CR7 as the best player n the world?
They feel Messi shoulda won it but CR7 nicked it cos he won the trophy.
so how can Gerrard case be different?

Gerrard is a wastepipe. . . . . . . . .His goal haul centres around penalties and freekicks.
How many does he score from open play?? I cannot believe you get carried away with Gerrard's foto-trick.
Why does he come short for England?? Did u see the game against Russia?? How Gerrard lost the midfield to amateurs??

Just like CR7. It doesnt take away from the fact that they were counted as goals.
If you score a penalty during a final and the opponent would not score, will they hold back the trophy from being presented to you?
spot and fre kicks are all part of the game and it takes a good baller to score them everytime

Gerrard won PFA award in 2005/6 on the back of his heroics against West Ham in the FA cup final.
Why didn't he win the other individual awards(FWA and FPY) if he was that good??
All the players who have won PFA award since 98 have gone on to win other domestic awards. . . . .
Like i have said, it's the British hype.

story telling. tell Fabregas and Arteta to perform stunts in the coming FA cup final so they can also win the award

Eto'o or Messi or Torres

When would you herbs realise GERRARD does not thrive as a midfielder??
He has been superb in the last 12 months because he now plays as a supporting striker.
Between 1998 and 2008. . . . . .Gerrard has been a waste pipe for Liverpool

.

so according to you, Gerrard has only been fantastic this season
according to Sauron, Gerrard has been a waste pipe prior to his support striking role.
Thats laffable you know Sauron.

For starters, Gerrard has not only played as a central midfielder, but also as a winger when Benitez was looking to add some width to his game.

nyways answer these questions
what year did Gerrard win the UEFA club footballer of the year? what position did he play for Pool?
who won the PFA player of the year 2005/6 season? how many goals did he score that same season? and what role did he play for Pool?
If hes been a waste pipe till 2008, how come hes always scoring in torrents?
do you know how many goals he scored in 2007/8 season? 

i dont need to waste my time arguing. drop the stats for Fab4 and Arteta and lets see
add all UTD central midfielders to the list (except scholes)

Scholesy is a father anytime
