@TheChelseaForum The same agent who advised his player to ask for a pay rise, agitate for a move, now fears he may have sold his client short. I personally rate Caicedo as more valuable to Chelsea than EF. Maresca got what he wanted ,and so should EF. Some consistency from BlueCo for a change.

@AusReaM @visionergeo Capabilities mean very little in assymeteical actions. A $50 drone can close down a major airport"s runway and provoke an expensive reaction.. A few Russian solders moving outdated equipments along their Finnish border can trigger a billion dollar response.

@VlaamseTijger @oanaolt @Kasparov63 Of course eastern Ukraine is different from west Ukraine in many ways- history, culture, ethnicity, etc. Even before the conflict, Donetsk and Lviv could well be Tel Aviv and Teheran. That's beside the point. Bigging up this war into some pan European conquest is a distraction

[Okon Frankson @ofumoh]

@Kasparov63 Bad news for those countries who think Russia's interests doesn't count, just sign up to whatever the US offers and everything is fine.

[Okon Frankson @ofumoh]

@VlaamseTijger @oanaolt @Kasparov63 Russian nationalists claim eastern Ukraine as their territory, and Ukraine as their creation. Ukraine in NATO was a red line for Russia even before Putin was born. You can dispute these claims, try resolve them. But to present the war as the start of Russia conquering Europe? 😂

[Okon Frankson @ofumoh]

@oanaolt @Kasparov63 The Ukraine war is a local conflict with roots as long as the origin of Ukraine itself. Europe had every opportunity to resolve it, instead they decided to pump out the utterly laughable narrative that Russia was preparing a march on Berlin.

@AfricaFirsts What a pointless post

@FabrizioRomano City are selling Reijnders to buy Enzo Fernandez, and are losing Rodri. This is all happening under the same manager who thought Garnacho was a top winger. Happy days at City.

[Okon Frankson @ofumoh]

@Curtis_peprah Chelsea will have the last laugh. They can have Enzo Fernandez for £120m. In 18 mths they'll be looking for a new manager and a new team.

@thecableng Dangote is 100% right about Africa's industrialisation. That Nigerians (me included) have paid a heavy price for Alikopoly is another matter. Dangote is not and has never been Nigeria's president, nor is he responsible for Nigerians electing corrupt and incompetent leaders.

[Okon Frankson @ofumoh]

@Kasparov63 Chess is great, understanding geopolitics is harder. Putin is corrupt, but his position in Russia, if anything, is bolstered by liberals who fail to understand Russia's geopolitical predicament. 10/10 Russia's leaders would've fought this war or be thrown out. Truth can be harsh

[Okon Frankson @ofumoh]

@thebeehivediary @Kasparov63 Sure, because just like Ukraine, Israel is the victim of aggression (from Palestinian babies whose ancestors were driven from their own lands by the state of Israel decades ago)

[Okon Frankson @ofumoh]

@NigeriaStories They should start from Aso Rock Villa, if they're serious about it.

@Martina RIP, Andrea. You'll forever be your little girl's proud mother.

@piersmorgan As if the US didn't have enough of their problems, their president is up all night glued to his iPhone like a 6 year old with a Nintendo Game Boy.

[Okon Frankson @ofumoh]

@FrankKhalidUK He should be allowed to leave. We need to rebuild the midfield to allow Caicedo to win the ball in more advanced positions. We can't do that with Enzo, simple.

@HassCFC All at once.

🚨 Gerard Piqué says Chelsea coming back from 2–0 down with 10 men to eliminate Barcelona in the 2012 UCL semifinal is one of the TOP two GREATEST COMEBACKS he has ever witnessed, admitting he has “never seen mentality like that before in the history of football.”

That Chelsea comeback against us in 2012 is honestly one of the two greatest comebacks I’ve ever witnessed in football. And I say that as someone who was on the pitch suffering through it."

"We were 2–0 up at Camp Nou, Chelsea were down to ten men after the red card, and the whole stadium already felt sure Barcelona were going through. Normally in football, that situation is over."

"But mentally, they were unbelievable. I remember looking across and seeing players throwing themselves into tackles, blocking shots with everything, fighting for every second like their lives depended on it."

"What shocked me most was that they never panicked. Most teams in that atmosphere against Barcelona would completely collapse. Chelsea somehow became calmer after going down to ten men."

"The goal before halftime changed everything psychologically. Suddenly, even with all the possession we had, you could feel Chelsea growing stronger mentally while frustration started entering our team."

"And then Torres scoring at the end… honestly, I’ve never heard the Camp Nou go that silent. It felt impossible that we were out after everything that happened in the game."

"People always talk about tactics in football, but that night was about mentality. Pure mentality. I still haven’t seen many teams react to adversity the way Chelsea did in that semifinal."

"You can dislike their style, you can argue about luck, but mentally that Chelsea team was one of the strongest teams I’ve ever faced. And Chelsea is the biggest club in England"

@CfcDan_01 I stood in that far corner of the Camp Nou with my nephew, thinking about the long journey back to London..., then out of nowhere, the give-and-go with Lampard and that beautiful Ramires lob over the keeper. That goal still gives me goosebumps today, just thinking about it.
