@Lie_Detektor@vanguardngrnews You are just a cheap fool!
Must you tribalize everything?
Have you heard an American say something like it's only a particular tribe in their country that can do a particular thing especially outside the shores of their country?
After you will come here and blame Tinubu.
@Blue_Footy How Na? He stop 2 1v1 already, did you credit for that?
Those goals were classic catch the keeper off guard goals, he's not to blame at all.
@ENZOIZU@ChelseaFC Rebuild or continuity, we can't keep a player who wants to leave, no matter the Era we are, players that don't want to continue has always beeen moved on. Cucu wanted to leave, yes he's a leader but he's been out of form since Maresca left, we have Hato and he can be better.
I thought you would show up for perfection.
What kind of God looks for only the lost?
They say it's over for a sinner
You came up and say no it's not, no it's not!
What a God.
1. Manchester United — former big club/Living on history
2. Arsenal — European virgins/ Still chasing European glory
3. Liverpool — longest title drought 🤡/Quadruple enthusiasts
4. Manchester City — 115 charges/we are nothing without Pep Guardiola
5.Tottenham Hotspur — Putting the pressure on/ never winning the Premier League
6. Chelsea —— World champions/king of clubs 🏆 🏆
Every action you take now is a rehearsal for mastery.
Be intentional about it all because the sum total of those actions are what make up what you're an expert on in the long term.
@Blue_Footy@ObafemiAAA He wasn't talking about this post alone, he's talking about your general level of optimism.
And I share his sentiment, but in this Xabi case, I choose to be optimistic alongside you because I want him to succeed.
But sometimes, be more realistic than optimistic.
@Chelsea_NJblues@Blue_Footy You are saying something totally irrelevant to @Blue_Footy post.
Can you read what he posted again then comment accordingly?
He never talked about either what Xabi would need to be successful or if he's the 3rd best coach, you missed the point totally.
The UCL is hard to win. It’s always been.
That loss yesterday it 11 years since Barcelona last made the finals. Before 2006, they went 14 years. They won it for the first time in 1992, thirty-seven years after the first European Cup game was played. Their best period remains 2006 to 2015 when they won it four times.
That competition is so wicked that they may not win it again for another decade. It’s possible.
Real Madrid went 32 years without a UCL trophy. Between 1966 and 1998. In that period, they won the league 16 times. Between 2003 and 2011, they made the semifinal only once.
For context, Pep Guardiola didn’t make a single UCL final at Bayern Munich. It took him five years or so to make his first at Man City. He spent a truckload of money to achieve that feat. Consecutive quarterfinal exits in the hands of teams you’ll expect them to steamroller.
Jose Mourinho won and became everything he could at Chelsea but he never made a UCL final with them. You know who did?
Avram Grant. Roberto Di Matteo. Two coaches who can’t be heard near Mourinho’s level.
If Arsenal make it to the semifinal, they’ll be the only English team in the semifinal for the second year running.
Same Arsenal didn’t even qualify for the UCL for seven years. They’ve seen a final once. They’ve only gone as far as the semifinal three times. In Wenger’s 22 years at Arsenal, they made the semifinal only twice. The first didn’t come until nearly a decade after he joined.
The Premier League had six teams in the UCL this season. Only one of them is likely to make the semis. Only two made the quarters.
And that’s a league that spent £3.4bn in last summer’s transfer window alone.
Diego Simeone has made the final twice and he hasn’t won it. He’s spent 15 years at Atletico Madrid. In that period, ATM have only gone as far as the semifinals four times. Simeone may yet leave ATM without winning it.
It’s why Zidane’s achievements sits gently and pretty. He lived a charmed life. That achievement is rare.
A league title rewards consistency, the UCL rewards a combination of too many factors, some of which are outside your control.

God sometimes won't give us a definite answer to our prayers, he will just assure us that we are on the right path to our answered prayers.
And that brings peace, that's one of the things he promised us.
Sometimes, that's just as much as getting answers to our prayers
