Mujtahida:

Forgiveness let this be the last time you will insult me. On this thread I am confident that I have never dished out bareface insult to anybody and if I have I am sure upon my attention being called to it, I apologised. You called me ignoramus in your post before this, I tactically shoved it. Now the bolded. Cos I see absolutely no need for insults in my exchanges with you. Don't EVER insult me again. Be warned.

@all, you guys are witnesses to the crude and needless insult by forgiveness cos if I go the road he wants me to go on this thread, you guys will be surprised cos its mud I going to pour out and it will surely foul up this place. I don't tolerate insults to my person especially in this instance where I have been as civil in my exchange with him.

Mujtahida:

Stop this Bro. Realpoacher says no English player has succeeded outside England. You mentioned some names and erroneously included Bale a Welshman and Lambert a Scot. Instead of you to accept your error when it was pointed out to you, you began talking UK and displaying your monstrous ignorance by saying they are not the same. Did realpoacher mention UK?
A Welsh is different from an English man. They speak different languages. A Scot is different from an Englishman. They speak different languages. They are different nationalities. The UK has never played one single sports competition. Not even one. But England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland are known in sports circles. Accept your error. It's pardonable.

TheSuperNerd:
Uhmmmm... Sir Mujtahida. Please this has nothing to do with your discussion with Forgiveness oooo... I just wanna point out a little something on the bolded....

In London 2012, Team Great Britain (other wise called UK) presented a football team that had welsh and English footballers mainly dominating the team. But that Team GB represented all four home nations of UK (Wales, England, Northern Ireland and Scotland). Now this was a one-off and it is even unlikely that we may see Team GB play Olympic qualifiers because in international football circles outside the Olympics, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland all have their individual national teams and will find it very difficult reaching a compromise sef.


Also at the Olympics, we see more of Great Britain in other sports but never England, Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales. Citizens of all four UK home nations (and the three crown depedencies- going deeper) compete under the GB flag (UK flag) in the Olympics.

But at the Commonwealth games, Wales compete under its own flag. Same with England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.


Just wanted to clear that. So uhmmm.. Nothing more to be said on my part. Just a little something I needed to point out.

andrew444:


Suarez at 31 fewer more years ? You don kill me,there is no way aguero is better than Suarez

Suarez wey score pass Ronaldo and Messi last season wey collect the European golden shoe,you cannot hide that you are bias for you to say Suarez need more years,what are you saying,a 31 year old?

Aguero has reigned longer than Suarez? Now I know you only watch Epl,Suarez has been banging goals from Dutch league,you are an Epl fan boy.

Suarez arrive Europe 2006 at Groningen,while aguero arrive Europe same 2006 at ATM

Maybe when Suarez retire from football you will tag him world class

TheGoodJoe:


When the debate of who will replace Tevez when he left Manchester United for Manchester City, one name I hammered on Manchester United forums was Suarez. This was in 2009. This is to tell you I am actually a Suarez fan and was following him before he came close to the EPL.

Disheartening when I being a huge fan of Hector Cuper in 2000/2001 for Valencia, Irureta in the same era with La Coruna. Supported Van Gaal in his Ajax days. I switched from Manchester United to Manchester City because of I was a big fan of Mancini during his coaching days at Inter Milan and Lazio. Pathetic you can arise today and tag me an EPL fan boy.

SMH

Joebie:
My problem with you is you make calls for players who are not standout players in the Championship, League One, League Two etc. on what basis then? You don't earn a call up just because of the league you play. Even if you play in the EPL, you have to earn a call up by performance there as well. Backwater league or not, you need to perform. And even if you say you have watched the players in question and their that good bla bla bla, don't expect us to fall behind you.. you don't have enough stats to back it up..maybe you should post some videos etc that will add credibility to your position.. at the end of the day, all we see here are just black and white, or blue ( TheGoodJOe ). Be like tbaba, and back it up with videos etc at times. Which is why when tbaba says certain things, I take him more seriously.

forgiveness:
Musa, goal goal

PDPGuy:
Guys, will this line up and formation work for the SE in Russia?

———-Balogun——Ekong——-Awaziem——-

—-Ebuehi——--Etebo——Ndidi—-—Idowu——

—————————Mikel——————-

————Victor Moses————-Iheanacho——-

TheGoodJoe:
England has tagged behind due to their illusion of believing that huff, puff, Kick and follow football was their identity. However, with the step up in promoting good technical football in the EPL, with the likes of Guardiola, Klopp, Conte and others, the English team will get better. The challenge they have in sticking to managers that play the old English brand of football while lots of their top players play under possessive managers.

Their academies are also promoting good football and with time, England will produce better quality players.

elyte89:
Enough of all dis Suarez,aguero,Great Britain, top quality,high quality argument DT wont take us anywhere.The.Supernerd one meme abeg

elyte89:






It will only work on FIFA/PES 18,WHERE IS IGHALO AND ONAZI?

tbaba1234:


Not a bad lineup.. personally i will move Balogun to the middle of the defence.

I will also like to see how Joel works with Onazi and Ndidi. Can we play without Mikel?

edi287:

One option is to swap Mikel and Etebo in order to help with build up play or Ogu/Joel Obi (if he makes the team) for Etebo.

ClumsyFlimsy:
This Suarez talk not being world class pain me die

And to think the same guy that made such lame utterances believe Pogba is world class

Man Utd Pogba is no where near world class he is just a product if hype


In fact people don't know that there only a handful EPL world class.. the rest are just over hyped piece of trash

I don't like Neymar but whenever epl Fanboys say hazard is better the thing dey irritate me


I repeat epl players are over hyped and only few will thrive outside England. They are just a bunch of headless chickens running about without tactical acumen. Little wonder they don't produce world best players and hardly perform well in champions League this days.

Despite all their lame rantings saying Guardiola can't do anything in epl say na epl this epl that yet now everybody done mellow.. Guardiola has exposed England


Epl farmers league

MetalJigsaw:
Nice one but can Etebo really be as disciplined as Ogu as the deep lying DM?

TheGoodJoe:


Taking Mikel behind will cut off supply to the striking players. It is better he plays behind the strike force.

elyte89:
Tbaba1234,read somewhere DT England has released deir list for the upcoming friendly games,but TAMMY NAME WAS CONSPICUOUSLY MISSING!..CONFIRM BOSS

realpoacher:


No mind those myopic English fan boys. Once you don't cut it in England you don't know how to play football. But they will never see that what they parade as stars are waste product!.

See how they almost finished Musa's career, but thank God for Rohr, now the guy is back inform and playing in the Europa league!

TheGoodJoe:

komekn:


Ogu is limited for me predictable admittedly assured but his lack of pace is a liability for me. His ability to recover is very suspect particularly against pacy midfielders.

He struggles to turn from defence into attack.

We already have one slow midfield player in Mikel who will not run back to recover. In this regard having Ogu could see us concede the midfield very quickly.

Etebo brings indisciplined unpredictability he creates uncertainty in the opponents he has pace and makes midfielder double team on him. My view he who dares wins, I prefer Etebo.

Need someone to build from deep. Iwobi can take Etebo place if it comes to that. Unless J Obi or Ogu replaces Etebo

i will like if these characteristic is for our attackers or attacking midfielders not a supposedly defensive one as European teams have a way of punishing those type of players

mazimee:


If na same thing, why dem come dey wear different country jersey?

mazimee:


Ali is average, though improving

MetalJigsaw:
England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland. All these are different countries. But they have one thing in common: They are the United Kingdom or British counties.

Another instance is Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Faroe Islands. These are Scandinavian countries as a unit but they are different as countries.

Got it?

asha80:
how people think we can actually play without a mikel is funny..apart from mikel which other player in that midfield is a 'brain'?
