Chelsea bewildered disgraced

Atletico Madrid humiliated the European champions with a 4-1 thrashing  in the uefa super cup tonight, it could have been 6-1 if not for the woodworks...
RDM's lapses were shown earlier on when he failed to make any tactical change to stop the rampaging  Falcao who scored a hat-trick in the match..
David luiz was ragged  and his defensive partners were at the sea as Atletico taught them a match lesson they would want to forget...
A fantastic massive defense and a quick and effective counter attack was master-classed by the Atletico lads and the Chelsea's substitutions were simply ineffective and inept.....
Cahil got the consolation goal for Chelsea in the second half.
The Chelsea attackers were no way better as Courtois  the Atletico keeper was on a holiday without any save to make in the first half ....Chelsea needs to wake up...

Transfer window deadline! hours to go

Players waiting to know where their allegiance should go.....
Micheal Essien:  ====>>>>>Arsenal? on loan though considering the meticulous spending habits of Arsenal...lol

this could happen considering how his buddy Mikel has been favored by RDM since his reign as Chelsea's manager..

Daniel Sturridge  ====>>>>>  Liverpool?

The widely criticized selfish striker who has been on the bench since RDM's management  might need to make the loan switch in order to get some first team actions.....also seeking exit from the blues include Florent malouda and Yossi Benayoun.

Kaka   ====>>>>> AC Milan?

The out of favour midfielder could secure his move back to where he came from before joining Real Madrid...the 'only special one' wouldn't mind loosing part of the  €65m  paid for KAKA just three years ago...

uefa best player surprise!

Barcelona and Spanish Andres Iniesta was declared the UEFA  best player of the year!
nobody expected this as Inieta has watched Messi and Ronaldo lift the trophy at different times.... but I think the  journalists   are tired of the monopoly and have decided to favour Iniesta for 2011/2012 European footballer of the year...all thanks to his contribution in the Euro 2012 were Spain were crowned champions...

first trophy of the season 4 real

Real Madrid wins the first game of the season in a dramatic fashion and the first trophy as well! - they defeated their rivals Barcelona to lift the super cup

They won 2-1 to shhh!  the doubters ...the ‘only one’ adds to his legacy....loving this!

the game could have gone any way as Real Madrid failed to increase their tally when Barcelona went down to ten men. Messi scored a wonderful free kick but not enough to win the super cup Madrid won on away goal advantage 4-4 aggregate

Heading to the exit door

Theo Walcot- the most selling club Arsenal  FC ...lol are ready to dish out another good player of their starting eleven if the money is good....u know now ...after the player’s bid for a raise to more than 75000 pounds has been rejected

Walcot could find himself swimming in the ocean of money in the noisy Manchester city  if Mancini takes advantage of the wage dispute to sign him...

Dembele – Spurs has made a very good replacement of Luka Modric in the name of Moussa Dembele the former Fulham man with just 15 out of the 30 million pounds

can the only special one shine again?

It's the Spanish super cup 2nd leg tonight as Real Madrid host the flying Barcelona @ 21h30 KO time...
can Mourinho motivate his loosing side enough to win their first match of the season? or will they allow Barcelona create history by lifting the super cup 4 times in a row?....Real Madrid can nick this one by just scoring first and then play 'chelsea's defensive anti-football style... ...lol
answers hours after 21h30 tonight..don't miss it!

 Ronaldo hosts his rival

'roaring lion' Messi

The Old vs the New-Courtois against 'his club'

 Cech

Courtois

Few people would have believed this! -Chelsea's young keeper Thibaut Courtois on-loan to Atletico Madrid has been given clearance to keep for Atletico Madrid against Chelsea in the UEFA Super cup match...mmmmh!
what a chance to measure who's better Cech (30yrs) the old or Courtois (20yrs) the young......
where will his heart lie? hahhaa! ....well he's expected to be professional enough....hey young man listen Chelsea fans would be proud of you do show some support ...just let the ball in the net a little ...lmao

Chelsea vs Atletico Madrid is on  31/8/2012  KO 18:45

LUCA Madrid man

At last one of the heated transfers of the season has been done with less than five days to the closure of the window..
Luka Modric has  been transferred to the Spanish champions Real Madrid .. that is a massive acquisition for the 'only special one' whose side has been on a loosing spree this season and a colossal loss for spurs which under AVB yet to win a match ....the deal was around 35 million pounds not a bad chunk for Villas Boas to invest with....

Faltering giants

ARSENAL FC
Earlier expectations was that with the seasonal ritual of Arsenal's captain departure this time RVP done, Arsene Wenger the 'magical' coach would have engineered his team to gelled in no time; but that was not to be...with two matches played the newly acquired stars are yet to come to the party hence Arsenal's poor start of the season continued into the second match:  Stoke 0 - 0 Arsenal  a very boring draw...

 Stoke fans scarring kids with Arsene's masks...lmao!

Frustrated Arsene...but large chunk of money is in the bag...lol

 

'the only one' for Real Madrid not 'special' anymore?

Real Madrid have not been invincible as expected of them this season considering their exploits of last season the general expectation was for Barcelona to lag behind them ..but with two matches already played in la liga and the Spanish super cup first leg against Barcelona the reverse has been the case....
Barcelona have maintained 100% record wining their three competitive matches whereas Real Madrid have lost twice! and drawn once..it seems like the name change from 'the special one' to the 'only one' isn't gonna bring much success for Mourinho and his men....lol
Today matches ended like this Getafe 2-1 Real Madrid while Osasuna 1-2 Barcelona

Jose- the ''only one'' who's special......
                          

Francisca Ordega hat-trick heroine

Nigeria's Falconets have qualified for the second stage of the ongoing  FIFA U20 Women's world cup

thanks to the 'messilike' Francisca Ordega who powered 3 goals past the Italians while Osarenoma Igbinovia iced the cake with the 4th. Nigeria won 4-0.

The girls maintained top of group B with seven points the highest in the group stages, besides Brazil crashed out of the group coming 3rd after South korea.....once again this is laudable and I think this girls should be paid like their male counterparts!

AVB can he stand tall?

The rise and fall of Andre Villas Boas in his short reign at Chelsea was largely blamed on his poor management of  'Old Big star' players'ego....but he is back in London with Tottenham probably to complete what he started..., the question is can he stand tall and face the players as a manager should or would he rather need some kind of lift like this ...lol.

Hazard and Torres re brand Chelsea

With three matches played and 100% results obtained the combination of Hazard and Torres up-front for Chelsea is gradually changing the way football lovers brand Chelsea, from ''anti football +defensive master class'' to a lively entertaining yet productive team...
Meanwhile, Chelsea maintained top of the log lead with a 2-0 win over Newcastle with goals from Hazard and Torres; a good result towards their clash for super cup against Atletico Madrid...

mmh! e bi like say Drogba sth don leave el nino....lol

Rooney axed to the bench and out

In a dramatic reaction to the season opener lost, Manchester united manager Sir Alex Ferguson relegated some of his regular first team players that lost to Everton to the bench Rooney,Welbeck, and Nani were all dropped from the starting eleven against Fulham ; RVP started instead of Rooney and he capped it with his first Manchester United goal with a snap shot from a half turn to equalize for the Red devils, while another new signing kagawa also scored...

Chelsea building a 'Barcelona'

Eye popping signings made by Chelsea recently if eventually gelled will create another 'monstrous' team like Barcelona or even better....full of  attacking midfielders with creativity, dribbling skills and sleekly passing moves...comparatively Chelsea's latest signings can match the  likes of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, fabregas..

picture speaks...

 Cesar Azpilicueta....right-back but can play in the midfield

Victor Moses- has dribbling skills

Hazard...needs no more intro...

Marko Marin -midfielder

Oscar -Brazilian whizkid

Mata ...a fantastic play maker

pure water to cost N50 why?...

THIS & THAT corner...
CBN To introduce N5000 note, the faces of 3 historical women leaders will be used ;Margaret Ekpo: late politician and social mobilizer (1914 - 2006), Hajia Gambo Sawaba: late politician and activist (1933 - 2001) & Funmilayo Kuti: late politician and women's right activist (1900 -1978)...

They also plan to convert the N5, N10 and N20 notes to coins next year!..so time to say bye bye to this currency notes, remember coins cannot buy anything in naija, if you're doubting tell me when was the last time you bought something with a coin?
so brace up to buy pure water N50 per sachet since N5 & N10 will disappear (into coins)...

disappeared into...

when last did you see this?

Moses is a real Blue

Chelsea has made good their protracted interest on Nigerian soccer 'classy dribbler' Victor Moses as Wigan agrees to their Bid...it is expected that Moses will agree personal terms with the European champions in the next few days.

QPRetirees club?

Recent signings made by Queens Park Rangers leaves a doubt on how they will survive this season...Mark Hughes has made some 'doubtful' signings of which their first premiership match this season is evident to this fact, a 0-5 loss to Swansea!.....pictures speak thousand words....

Djibril Cisse singed last season :age 31

Park Ji sung :age 31

Andy Johnson: age 31

Jose Bosingwa: age 29

Bobby zamora : age 31

and sooner Carvalho: age 34!

Football Kidnapper

A football fan was so desperate to watch football that he kidnapped his girlfriend and demanded £170,000 ransom from her father, according to reports in India.

Abhisek Deep Anand, an unemployed journalism graduate, met the girl - who has not been named - at a college festival in Delhi late last year.

But on August 15 the relationship turned sour as he took her to a restaurant where he took her mobile phone and called her father to make the ransom demand.

He is then reported to have taken her from the restaurant to the Paharganj Hotel and locked her in a room.

The plan quickly came crashing down: the girl's father - who earned a fortune while working in the USA before returning to India two years ago - immediately called police despite Anand's threats of what would happen if the authorities were contacted, and she was rescued within 16 hours. 

Falconets forced to a draw

Nigeria U20 female soccer team lost the opportunity to qualifier for quarter finals of the tournament by allowing Brazil equalize with less than three minutes of regulation time to go...
The Falconets' fierce looking coach Okon Edwin..probably thinking of edikaikong soup ..lol, got his tactics wrong, despite loosing his first choice goal keeper Whyte; he opted to go for an extra striker in the name of Ebere Orji with Desire and Ordega (scored in the 44') already in the team ; one would have expected fortification of defense and midfield with less than ten minutes to go...the girls will have to secure at least a draw from Italy in the third match to ensure qualification.

 Nigerian coach Okon Edwin ...fierce!

Edikaikong..do u care?..lol

Substitute keeper Nwankwo was leaking...

Brazil celebrates equalizer

Transfers

Nigeria's Joseph Akpala has secured a move to Werder Bremen form his former club Club Brugge, Akpala who has spent most of his professional playing career in Belgium has changed lane to Germany... he plays as a striker and scored a total of 38 goals for Club Brugge .

Chelsea leads the table

goals from Lampard (pen), Cahil ,Torres & Ivanovic ensured that Chelsea leads the English premiership with six points ..early days though; but Reading gave them the early shock of the season when Pogrebnyank @25' and Guthrie @ 29' scored  in quick succession after Cahil's mistake and Cech fumbled the ball...Chelsea equalized with goal from Cahil who redeemed his earlier mistake and Torres scored the winner! -Ivanovic put icing on the cake with the fourth .

CHELSEA a chance to lead the table

CHELSEA V READING -Today @19h45

Chelsea will have a perfect chance to assume leadership of the English premiership table today as they take on Reading in a rescheduled match owing to their involvement in the uefa super cup against Atletico Madrid by the end of the month...are they poised to do this?

Statistics: Reading's last league win against Chelsea was 82 years ago.

Hazard - was 'hazardous' enough for their last opponent Wigan....lol

Pay cut for Adebayor

Emmanuel Adebayo has finally agreed severance terms with Manchester city to secure a permanent move to Tottenham where he performed excellently last season while on loan; it is believed that Adebayo's earning will be reduced since Tottenham is not the kind of pay masters like City is....

 AVB can now boast of another striking force in his squad...

proudly Nigeria

our women under 20 made Nigeria proud yesterday in Japan beating Korea republic 2-0 in their first group game; at least something to smile about in this precarious state....lol in fact this girls should be paid as high as their male counterparts in the eagles...
go girls get the gold!

The last time they played the falconets went undefeated before the final match!

their next match is on 22nd against Brazil..mmmh! no shaking.....

shine shine

Eden Hazard shines as Chelsea started their season with a 2-0 win over Wigan he was instrumental and gave the assists that resulted into two goals for Chelsea ....meanwhile Victor Moses failed to score to convince Chelsea to increase their asking price for him.
