if you don't care you won't be burning man-hours on this thread, will you?

U guys honestly think that isolated cases like this (involving Nigerians) are the real cause of tax increase in the UK? . . I think u should clap for yourselves

do you know how many nigerians doing this ish every week? of course, nigerians are part of the tax increase in the uk.

Outstrip:

Your taxes are going up because people are misusing the system. Wait for more Nigerians to come here and enjoy awoof (whatever that means) and your taxes will keep going up. SMH

he is an ignoramus. try telling a blind man the difference between green and orange.

[size=17pt]Cheiii!!!![/size] This is the height of Bad belle and jealosy. Wetin concern u if she dey enjoy free healthcare? . . Because u are being taxed heavily so u want everybody to suffer the same fate with u?  Which kain bad belle all these not-doing-well Nigerians in diaspora get sef?

With the way these useless british people are fleecing me with taxes here, i would be very very happy if more of my fellow Nigerians can come here and enjoy the awoof. . .Haterz!!

you are a tool! i will be surprised if you are older than 12.

jay bee:

funny thing is I'm actually supposed to embark on a project at work whereby foreigners that fleeces the NHS are identified and made to pay money owed whenever they return back to the UK.
I might as well start with her.

don't start with her. she's a fan of nairaland. i heard she's been talking about nairaland in one of her latest movies. it seems being a nairaland member is another level in nigeria. if she's british, i don't see any reason why she needs to have her children in the uk. she can have them anywhere and her kids will still be an automatic citizen of the united kingdom. i am guessing she just want to have them here because of the quality of the health care system unlike nigeria where the birth rate is a bit dodgy.

Mr_TA:

Unfortunately, Holden is out for 6 months. Bad tackle from Evans but it was abit unlucky as well.

well, football is a contact sports. i feel sorry for holden and evans had no right going so hard like that. however, evans' tackle wasn't malicious. he got the ball but it was his follow through that ruined holden's leg.

blink182:

Pls, Explain wht the stuff is. Is it that she gets paid while she's not working in the country but is entitled to it based on the fact that she is a citizen

it simply means she's enjoying the benefits of free health care system without paying any tax towards it. she is in nigeria where she gets paid without taxes and yet she will come down here to have her kids free of charge. in other words, she's living off the taxes of jaybee and ceasyc!

HNIC:

A confirmed as*wipe.My thoughts exactly.
a few seasons ago, we would have lost this game.
It's a topsy-turvy season[b].Manure had Jussi to thank for all 3 points.[/b]
Still more drama in the EPL.
However, Almunia can be an at times, what was that yesterday, absolutely no need to come out of his goalpost

what a ridiculous statement! it was jussi that took the shot and it was jussi that spilled it into berbatov's path. why don't you just shut your gob sometimes if you have nothing intelligent to say?

where is mumuface to talk us through arsene's youth policy that was bound to rule the world this season? united have declined and arsenal are on the rise and blah reh blah. . . . .if there's anyone looking for the word "delusion". . . . .don't waste your time checking your dictionary. just look straight into mumuface's eyes.

ritchboy:

Hehehe, Carrick is a holding midfielder and he's like 6 foot plus, the closest player to him at Arsenal would be Song.

Why would Cesc play CB? Would Scholes(the closest player to Cesc at United) play at CB?

the team arsenal played against bolton in 2008. . . . .

Almunia, Toure, Senderos (Walcott 59), Gallas, Clichy, Hleb, Flamini, Fabregas, Diaby, Bendtner (Adebayor 60), Van Persie (Justin Hoyte 90).

as at then, toure and gallas were your first choice centre-backs. diaby saw red but it didn't really dent arsenal's defence because flamini sat in front of his defence and kept things tidy. tonight, united had no vidic and rio. . . . .their 4th choice defender(johnny evans) got sent off leaving carrick and giggs in the midfield against a more improved bolton side we could not beat at reebok stadium. anyone comparing this new bolton to the one under megson in 2008 needs a brain surgeon.

This guy is hilarious! Alrighty then, explain the "mentality of a champion" to me.

If you'd produced that performance against a quality side you can make noise, but United are superior to Bolton in all possible ways.

Even if you start the game with 10 men you are still favorites to win.

There is nothing United did today any other top team in the league couldn't have done. Reserve your ejaculations for when you actually do something noteworthy!

united are superior to bolton but united did not play it's strongest team by any means. even the commentators noted bolton wouldn't have a better chance of beating united if they didn't win today. no vidic and rio was a blow. to get johnny sent off again was a bigger blow. yet, the players motored on and got the vital 3 points needed and you want us not to celebrate? should we start weeping for arsenal then?

ritchboy:

All these multiple orgasmz because you beat Bolton at home?

I remember a few seasons ago when Diaby was sent off early in a game against the same Bolton and Arsenal still came from 2 goals down to win the game 3-2, AWAY from home.

You played with 10 men for like 10 mins and una dey make all this noise?

I dey laff

i remember you had cesc fabregas in your defence against megson's bolton some seasons ago as well, didn't you?

dayokanu:

o ti su mi meeeennnn

I no fit dey play on this thread every weekend na?

E no dey tire una ni?

ma Utd lost back to back vs Liverpool and Chelsea, WHere has that taken Arsenal now?

arsenal will still win the league. they have the easiest run-in on paper.

coded guy:

The arsenal thread is like a muppet graveyard. Am LMFAO.
3 points even with a man down. Its crunch time, i think.

that's the difference between man utd and the rest of the league. down to 10 men, the other teams would play it safe and play for 0-0. not ferguson!
he gambles. . . . .and at the end of the season, some twunts would say united didn't deserve the title or they have not played well. carrick became carrenbauer in the heart of the defence. the urgency tripled. . . .waves of attack after attack. this is why i love this club.

coded guy:

Where are all d usual muppets on this thread. Pls hnic and co come analyse how arsenal will win d title with narrow escapes like this. Soon you will to d united thread spewing hokum dat we disappear when we lose. Muppets come out naa, this place needs some hypothetical analysis.

you are so wicked!

ritchboy:

DING! Exactly what i was having a laugh at. . . If it's Berbatov, it's luck. But if it was Hernandez, it would be down to his "unbelievable movement"

you need to see chicharito live to appreciate his movements. he is not static. i saw this guy twice last year and the way he works the lines is just incredible. berbatov is static. chicharito works the lines so well. he's in, he's out, he's in, he's out. timing his run to perfection to make sure he is not caught offside. chicharito is the king of centre-forward movement in the premier league. van nistelrooy was also a beast when he was here - but my goodness, chicharito is a gem when it comes to that too. his movements are just silks.

ritchboy:

Why isn't anyone talking about Berbatov's "unbelievable movement" for the goal?

lucky to be in the right place at the right time. every centre forward worth his onions would be in that position. fabio was also lurking to do the tap-in.
unlike arsenal fans, we don't gloat over such. we only admire silks!!!

Mr_TA:

I am abit worried about Giggs' overall play. The rate at which he gave the ball away was alarming.

giggs has always been a liability. i am shocked you are just noticing. his pass completion is nothing to write home about but he's always fortunate to initiate the move leading to a goal or providing a direct assist. the moment he does that, united fans forget the shower of shyte he has displayed throughout the game. if we want to move past chelsea in europe, i reckon we send giggs to japan to help the victims of nuclear outbreak.

as for berba's selection. it's a wonderful problem. fergie started hernandez today because he guessed bolton would go for it and attack us. hernadez is good against teams who don't park the bus. such teams leave plenty of space behind them(a space hernandez loves to exploit). it was the right decision to start chicharito in that regard because bolton did have a go in the first half. after the break, when bolton realized johnny evans was having the game of his life, they started defending deep(perhaps playing for a draw). . . . .thus nullifying the threat of hernandez.

when teams sit deep like that, berbatov is the key to unlock packed defences, a moment of brilliance is all he needs to unlock such defence. . . .although, he didn't play particularly well today as he squandered some chances he would have buried when he still had some match sharpness. however, he made one of the chances count and that was the most important thing. 3 points secured!

vinisky:

@cougar
if those guys are back then i'm am happy and grateful inshort thank you westbrom for overachieving but who would you suggest we partner with vidic in defence  for champions league against the chavs? and do you perfer 4-5-1 to 4-4-2? cause our guys were gassed out for the 2nd half and iwas thinking we should have seiteched to 4-5-1 at that point. all is well

who else but chris smalling. the best young defender in the country. he looked like he's been playing for us for ages. if we are lucky, we have a clone of rio ferdinand in smalling. he will grow here - i have been utterly impressed with the lad. against chelsea. . . .we should go 4-3-3. nani-rooney-valencia. anderson, fletcher and carrick in the midfield and the normal back four(rafael-smalling-vidic-evra). i am convinced this team won't let us down @ the bridge.

scholes and giggs should take a vacation to libya.

chamotex:

I actually thought he went into the middle with Giggs.
I was surprised to see him on the left flank. He really put in a shift today considering he's still gaining match fitness.
I'm actually glad he played the full 90 minutes today. . . that would improve his sharpness.

Do you know if he's going away on International duty?

i hope he doesn't travel. fergie should hide his passport.

vinisky:

i really don't know what west brom was thinking trowing away 2 points. were they crazy but it's all good. we're five points clear though iwas worried by our display berbatov really came up big for us. who saw that ball that almost skipped van der sar? my heart skipped a beat.

west brom overachieved with that 2-goal lead. be thankful they were able to derail arsenal a little bit. the 2 points arsenal dropped today provide us a cushion. there's the international break and by the time football resumes in 2 weeks, we should have vidic, fletcher, js park, anderson and rafael back. things are looking good from here.

chamotex:

Evans deserved the red card.
It was nothing intentional cos he actually got the ball but his follow-through gashed Holden's knee.
No complaints about that . . . his studs were showing and he should know you cant do that again at this level.

seems your man(valencia) has been doing some training on how to operate from the left. he was superb today when he switched flanks with nani.

Mr_TA:

How's that a sending off while Carragher only gets a yellow?

in all fairness, that was a stone-wall red card. it's similar to the gerrard one on carrick in the fa cup tie in january. no complaints at all. evans was a bit silly. holden had already committed himself. evans didn't need to go to ground at all. stand your ground and hope nothing develoips from the move. on a day evans had his best performance in a united shirt, he had to be sent off.

nani was a beast when he moved to the right. valencia cutting in from the left also added some zip to our play at the death. our 10 men even played better than our 11 men. nani became a different player towards the end. he stopped crossing and started running with the ball and was licking shots from distance. gladly, bolton's goalie fumbled one of his shots and dimitar was there to tap in a rebound.

dayokanu:

I wont single out Gomez for the blame because Ribery had a one vs One where he had like a 30yr run and he missed.

Gomez had a goal cleared off the line by rannochia because Muller was too slow to react, Robben blasted from 6yards and couldnt get the target.

LvG taking out Robben for Altintop(To protect the lead) was also a factor that took away most of our attacking sting. When its so obvious we cant defend to save our lives.

In the last 15mins of the first half Inter were on the ropes and we were not clinical enough.

Similar thing happened to barca, Just assume if Bendtner had scored that late chance, All the possesion and chances they had would have come to nought

We lost a game we shouldnt.

you just mentioned robben, gomez, ribery and robben. . . . . .then you had to spoil it by mentioning bendtner. bayern fans were pissed because they expected so much more from robben, gomez, etc. i don't think any arsenal was really expecting bendtner to finish off his chance. tell you what, if bendtner had scored from that chance, arsenal would still have conceded another one at the death. koscielny and his goalie would have bottled it again to allow messi score a winner.

bayern should blame themselves for what happened in the midweek. if the first half score had read 6-1, leonardo wouldn't have had any complaints at all. bayern were so profligate in front of goal and it came back to bite them in the end. mario gomez should take another look at himself and ask if he justifies the whole hype about him.

(Eastbay):

@Cougar,
While I share your frustration about Rio,I'm not so sure it's that simple. . .Injuries can be a bi.tch.Wes Brown used to be a promising defender. . .Injuries have reduced him to a Sunday league player.
As for Wilkins,he is entitled to his opinion.

it's frustrating. a fit rio ferdinand = titles. he knows this, everyone knows this. he should take injections to his calf and play. pain-killers administered before the match, at half time and at the end of the match should see rio through. besides, we are lucky we are not doing any long travelling in the next round. london trip from manchester will not aggravate rio's notorious back injury so he should man up and bail us out.

what is fergie doing in cheltenham? he should be preparing his team for tomorrow's tie and this old man is betting on horses, na wa o!

ray wilkins is a pathetic old sod. he was just mis-yearning like he normally does. chelsea will not beat arsenal over two legs. never mind man utd. one thing i know about united is we are immortal in europe. bar bayern last season in munich, united have not lost a game away from home since 2007 at san siro when milan ripped us apart. we have a superb record in europe and if we can get our top players fit, chelsea will not score a goal in 180 mins.

chamotex:

How many games has he played this season sef?
I'm sure it's not up to 20

19 appearances all season(pathetic). evra(35), vidic(35), rafael(25), o'shea(25). ferdinand should be ashamed of himself.

chamotex:

We cant afford to play Chelsea with Brown and Smalling . . . no wayyy!!!

i trust vidic to be fit. it's rio ferdinand that does my head in. silly calf injury has kept him out now for months. if we have rafael-rio-vida-evra with anderson, carrick and fletcher shielding them. . . .with nani-rooney-valencia running at chelsea's back four, then we have a genuine chance to blow them away. david luiz is not available(cup tied or unregistered).

chamotex:

You know the injury is complicated . . . it's the top of the calf, stretching to his lower hamstring.

I dont care if they pump pain killing injections . . . Rio MUST play for us to have a BETTER chance.

that's what mourinho will do. i love no nonsense managers. if you earn 120k per week, you should be prepared to die on the pitch.

chamotex:

Fergie said Rio could be out for the rest of the season . . . dont know how true that is . . . but even if he comes back, how fit will he be?

ferguson also said nani will be out for a month. . . .don't take that old man's words as the gospel. he always gives the most pessimistic estimate when it comes to injuries to his players.

i don't know how a calf injury can keep someone as big as rio from playing. personally, i think rio has no passion - that's the disadvantage of success. the hunger to achieve more simply dies. sir alex is also relaxed about these things. i trust mourinho to pump pain-killing injections in that calf and get rio on the pitch asap. we have a genuine chance to play in the final especially when the 2nd legs of the quarter/final and semi/final(if we qualify) will be played at old trafford. ferdinand better get on the pitch and stop tweeting like a cyberwhore.

Mr_TA:

Not happy with our draw personally. I'll be sick of facing Chelsea 3 times in less than a month. Also the league games we have either side of those ties will be crucila. I just hope we have our players fit enough to give us a good chance.

our chances of winning, get rio and vidic fit. we face chelsea 3 times within a month but 2 of those games are at old trafford. the second leg is at old trafford, that is a massive massive advantage for man utd. however, rio ferdinand must play those games.

chelsea are out. there's no english club capable of beating man utd over 2 legs. it won't happen under alex ferguson. i just hope rio sorts his useless calf out and play. if we have rio/vida/vds. . . .chelsea wont score a goal against united. no atkinson to bail them out.

debosky:

@ montelik

SAF said Atkinson was unfair - if a referee is unfair, he is intentionally making decisions against you. There is no other interpretation.

There was nothing general about Fergie's comments - they were specific and targeted at the integrity of Atkinson. Mancini didn't say he was terrified even before the game, neither did he say officials will win Chelski the title.

There is a difference between fairness and making errors - Fergie should've made that distinction and he would've gotten away with his comments.

tony pulis said so about mike dean, was he charged?
