I was here.

TalabiAudu:
Just know that if you lose tonight,
You will curse the day you joined nairaland.

Ode!!!

Yesterday was a day to forget for all Ororo fan base.


Ajax dumped their MCM's team out of UCL and Barcelona scaled through beating Manchester united. If everyday of the year is good to be a Man utd fan I'm sorry yesterday was not.

My own prayer be say make the village people of Valverde no follow him today, I dey pray say make he use Messi today o

TalabiAudu:
How this season will end..
1. Liverpool 2. Spurs 3. Chelsea 4. Man Utd 5. Arsenal 6. City
Quote me by May...

Igbira !!! We are quoting you now

We had a below par game though.

The Atletico's match over the weekend took it toll on us.

Kudos to Man United for keeping the GOAT at bay.

we go again !!!!

Awon Dundee!!!


Fact is that the situation is now against you. First you have conceded an away goal. Secondly, you had a week rest prior to yesterday's game while barca had 3 days, and the effect was evident in Barca's performance. Now, you must battle for top four in the weekend by utilizing your key players, while barca have the luxury of resting key players against the Huesca. The odd is surely against you, But in football miracle can happen so I won't say you can't scale through still.

IKON360:
in this team when we had Puyol and Pique, both played though both were right footed. We played Pique and Mascherano, both right footed, it won't kill the team or turn it upside down if two left footers start in CB positions.
.
Pique at 32 is still young, how old is Chellini or Barzagli, besides Pique never had pace much more did he rely on his pace, so he has what it takes to play at that the heart of Barca's defense till he is 36 or more

Easier to play 2 right footed players at the back than two left footed players. Can you mention just one formidable left footed defensive pairing ever since you started watching football.

Mine be say....


If you watch Hazard's first goal yesterday and you still believe Messi will not perform more than that because of the "EPL is hard" syndrome then knock yourself on the head because you are just an hater.

IKON360:
Must we sign De Ligt? Umtiti has reduced his worth in the eyes of Barca board, but I'd prefer Umtiti

We need De ligt badly !!!

How many right footed center back do we have
Just one. What if Pique get injured anytime soon.
At 32 Pique is having his last days as a top flight footballer. Is there any suitable replacement than a talented and 19 year old de ligt I don't think so.

Se you grab.

Hashimyussufamao:
I was behind this man when i took the pictures.

The cloth isn't my problem; but how on earth do you feel comfortable leaving your home like this to a public sphere like Bank(GTB).

e shock me ooo

Sule !!!

TalabiAudu:

Igbira !!!

TalabiAudu:
Spurs chopping it...

Good thing for now

Igbira !!!

Forca Barca

We the comeback king.

Arthur is a blessing, what a pass that was.

The last goal was a great team goal.

Saw this somewhere very funny



THE CHELSEA WAY:
Chelsea replaced Conte who won them 2 trophies with Sarri who has never won a trophy. Signed Morata to replace Batshuayi who had scored more goals than Morata. Now they're bringing in Higuain to replace Morata who has scored more goals this season than Higuain

Chelsea once signed Lukaku to replace Drogba then Loaned Lukaku out and signed Drogba to replace Lukaku. Sold David Luiz to PSG for £50M then bought David Luiz from PSG again for £34M after David Luiz had knocked them out of Champions League�

They hired Jose Mourinho, fired him then hired him and fired him again.
Bought Matic and sold him then bought him back and sold him, bought Bakayoko to replace him then loaned him then loaned someone to replace him
What a club �

Isomerizm:
Na you go tell us, because we blind.

Your Oversabi is too much.

You people should know that the club Have grown tired of the COPA. we have won it four freaking consecutive time.


With his wayward starting line up in the cup you should have deciphered that the coach has no interest the cup again.


There is no point channelling all our energy on One bloody only for our players to be misfiring when they got the UCL. we need heed to the lessons of the past.


UCL/LA LIGA go do me this season.

Can't wait to see the combination of King Arthur, Frenkie de jong and Busquet in the midfield. All of them are press resistant and De jong is even more of a risk taker. He is a very good passer of the ball. What I think we should in the summer to:


Buy Busquet's replacement ( Samper doesn't seem like a permanent replacement because of his fragility)


Buy Alba's back up.


Buy Suarez's back up/ replacement.


Buy De ligt as Pique's replacement/back up.


It seems our board don do blood money as we are even outspending the Likes PSG presently and they don't believe in LA MASIA anymore.

Kingsley10000:
With this poor performance,you guys think we can still win champions league

What is this one saying

How many of our first team players started the match

It is obvious that IKON guy don't know whom byke is.... Byke of Enrique's time is the prime byke.... , byke wey go post a comment and yet he will still quote and reply the same comment by himself,byke wey call himself bipolar.. that nigga get skuri for head...but he don down for him body now.... I missed the old byke sha

Messi400#

Someone's dream is our reality. We are spoilt of all his mesmerizing goals and artistry passess. Football should be renamed "FootMessi" after his retirement, to honour him even though, this will be like 2% of giving him the right accolade he deserves in statistics. We are not worthy. Lionel Messi, thank you for playing football.

Greatihex:
double standard is when barca fans use one stick to flog hazard and refuse to use it to flog Iniesta.

Bro stop this nonsense, If you want to troll Iniesta, troll him and nobody will beat you. Own your opinion. But saying Barca fans is using double standard for Hazard is a nonsense fact. I'm a barca fan and I have never criticised hazard ever in my life and as a matter of fact, MAJORITY of the barca fanbase don't sly him either. You are just raising dust where there is none. MAN U/EPL criticize him far more than we do. Barca fans troll the likes of Isco, Asensio and Ramos than Hazard that has just played 2 official games against barca in his entire career. So if you wanna troll Iniesta troll him in peace without involving barca fans.

Greatihex:
eeh, but you have read somewhere else that Terry was a fraud?

I'm not part of the anti- Terry party bro...

PietroRick:
interestingly this is one of the things that drew me to this part of nairaland and ultimately prolonged my stay here on this platform in general.

I wandered here from my former base and met coogar in the middle of some batshit crazy arguments, the rest.. History

Lol...some crazy crazy argument I tell yah

raumdeuter:
They dont believe it, They just feel in their little mind that they have a rivalry with Barcelona and need to compare their 2nd grade players to Barcelona

I dont like Madrid, I see them as a rival but I won't go to the extent of comparing our players to Madrids. Madrid is better Bayern even if we win one or 2 games here and there against them

Imagine Lukaku having more goals than Drogba?

Lol...I tire oooo boss

Throughout my journey in life, it is only on Nairaland will I ever read the opinion that Iniesta is a fraud. And perhaps, this is gonna be the only place in the whole 7 continents of the world. Such a bizarre assumption.

our match tomorrow is 10:45 PM Nigerian time. God knows I won't watch it. what's up with LA LIGA and their late night matches this season.

IKON360:
Suarez hasn't been playing any rubbish for the past two years, how many strikers outscored him last season? all the strikers you mentioned, Suarez is still better than them. We need a more effective Firmino like striker, or a Gabriel Jesus. Suarez played with Sturridge, they formed a deadly duo in England, Suarez played with Neymar when Messi was injured, their duo was exceptional, Suarez played with Cavani, among the best striking duos in national team football, Suarez with Messi freaking awesome(only Dani Alves has assisted more goals for Messi than Suarez). How many strikers do you know are better than that? We need strikers that have good link up play, effective finishers and very good passing range. Until you show such a striker or strikers, just keep baseless opinions to yourself

If you think that Suarez's form hasn't regressed in the past years then you need eyeglasses.


Brother, let us be fair With ourselves, Suarez of the treble season and the season after where he scored 59 goals was the beast, Suarez with that form will score more in the past two years than he is doing now.


I even thought his age will be the nearest excuse you will give in addition with Neymar's departure but no..All what you wrote are fallacies.


Suarez is presently better than Aguero, Kane and Icardi?? Guy I swear you are on a codeine diet.


90% of your write up was more about past glory and an eulogy of the former Suarez.


Suarez strike has regressed significantly, he now regularly has a run of 3-4 games goal drought, he could only muster a woeful 2 goals in the champions since last season.

And for your info, Suarez scores much according to you because he is playing for Barcelona and not for freaking Tottenham or Inter Milan, Kane, Aguero and Icardi will all put up even more impressive goal scoring rate than he is doing.


And which link up play are you talking again, when he awkwardly spoils about 70% of all our attacking opportunities.


Compare and contrast his first two seasons with the past years on a reputable stat website before I can proceed with my discussion...

And I don't understand people's obsession with a mediocrity called Suarez on this thread


Suarez has been playing rubbish for the past 2 years now and he is only enjoying this luxury of time due to the lack of a quality back up for him and probably due to his friendship with Messi.


If you are talking about of Suarez 3-4 ago then I agree that he was world class but Suarez of today is serving us nonsense. Although, he still has that elements of the fox in the box player he was in the past years, and to be fair with him, Barca's midfield do starve him of quality service atimes but what I hate most about his games nowadays is how he spoils about 70% of our build up play, most of the time he receives a pass he is most often that not , prone to lose the ball.


And saying their is no present upgrade to a 31 year old Suarez presently in the world football market was largely an erroneous assumption, perhaps, you only watch Barcelona matches. Kane, Aguero ( though old) and Icardi are all better than him presently.
