Is Messi not a forward? Isn't that what he gets paid for to score goals? So what's the bruhaha all about?

While Mikel gets paid to be a play maker. Different jobs and reponsibilities my friends. "Get over it"

Thank you CMS. Some stuffy heads in this forum and all non-welcomers form across the borders will dish out a "Rush Limbough" one sided and blind arguements here, to scorn Naija. They can't even tell the differences in responsibilities in their functions. Ewu part-time jobbers.

Who do you think you are insulting? I made a statement, did I mention Obi's name in my statement. If you dont know someone's life, do not go insult, you dont know me and I dont know you!

They actually ended yesterday. Messi has already won the CL (as well as WYC and has scored 2 WC goals in addition the the 2nd round of the WC)

Tonight, Mikel started while Messi sat on the bench. Meanwhile, he came on in the second half for Eto'o who has appeared to pick up a rather serious injury. I am sure you will all join me in wishing Eto'o a speedy recovery.

Meanwhile, let us examine the Nigerians who played in the Champions League this weekend:

Yusuf Ayila
Ifeanyi Udeze
Mikel Obi
Joe Enakarhire
Richard Eromogbie
Osaze Odemigwe

Out injured
Chidi Odiah

Not played
Julius Aghahowa
Emmanuel Okoduwa
Haruna Babangida

And in the past few weeks, how many times has the reverse been the case Ayo? Ever the over-observant, judgemental analyst, you have once again, let the rabied cat out the bag! Messi has played in a world cup, champions league final, and won a number of trophies, wheres Obi's...played vs. Stoichkov FC. Please, enough pf your nonsense. Read it yourself before you press submit, if it makes sense to you, it means it wont to the rest of us, and at that point...log off, shutdown and take the plug out the socket!

Can I just remind you all that we are comparing two youngsters who were the stars of Holland 2005. They are the same age, both play fpr big clubs and can be regarded as contemporaries by any yard stick you want to use.

CMS and Igugu, who do you have to blame, is those that gave their feedback or the man who asked for the responds? Ayo needed not to have started this arguement or comparison. They both play diff. role and even though they are agemates in footie, they live diff kind of life, play in diff league with diff clubside. The only thing that put them alike is that they are both fantastic and have the quality of being the world best in the nearest future.

ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE is that MESSIE will meet MIKEL face to face on the pitch as they progress in this CL... then it will be more delighted to watch the show of two young stars in the world once again.

...As too was Quincy Owusu, so i do hope you've catipulted him to this exaggerated stauts too? Then there was Lee Ching Chang Walla walla Bing Bang, from Japan, Asian player of the tournament, cant rule him out of the equation!

...Ayo, please, for your own sake, read your posts before you press submit! Im guessing Fabregas is too in the same row as Obi right? I mean, whats 50 odd games for Arsenal at the top level, compared to flying fishing with Lars Bohinen, after all, they both played in the youth world cup.

...Obi starts one game vs. Bohemian Rhapsody FC and the whole of Nigeria has a heart murmur!

Though a Nigerian,i hate to say this.There is no basis for comparison,Messis is technicaly better than Obi,his input for Barcelona against Werder says it all.Obi is good,but,i'll appreciate if we'll halt Obi's shrining.

Well.............I hope so too but from the current trend of things, it seems more likely the two will only meet when JMO gets of the bench to hand the ball back to Messi on the side line for a Barca throw-in.

Messi was on the bench because of Barca's rotation system while Mikel was lucky to be playing his first match of the season.

Messi has won a league title and the Champions League, he has also playerd in the World Cup.

What has Mikel done other than to play one full official match for Chelsea?

Meanwhile, Messi came off the bench to decide the outcome of the match with an excellent atatcking display.

Abeg bro fix the mistake ooo. Na 60 or so minutes Obi play not full match. Having said that he did pretty well especially satrting in enemy territory on the European stage. He just needs more exposure and confidence, but it looks like he has the backing of big bros Essien and Drogba. Whic is what african players in the same team need to start doing for one anoda. I like the way Drogba gave Obi a word about not being scared to go into thhe tackle.

I don't think Mikel will start if they face Barca!

How many of you here would put your money on him making the bench versus Barca? Exactly!

Making the bench? How much do you want to bet?

It is on if you are game.

Why dont you STFU....Why should there not be noise? When a 18/19 year old South American player does something, Morons like you join the hype machine raving and ranting all over the place....

:x

A Nigerian Wonderkid gives an assured performance and gets an assist in his debut in the Champions league, and you dont want us to make Noise?

- Did Messi/Fabregas or whoever score on his Champions league debut?

I remeber this time last year, when Messi was playing for Barca and Obi was still caught in transfer wahala, some people were revelling at the predicament our boy was in...Now he gets himself on track and you dont want us to speak? Look if you aint happy with it, dont contribute to this thread...Better still stay away from CE...

Rubbish, Nonsense...

Hahahaha, Skylolo don vex.

'Nways I always wonder about this Ghanaians and Cameroonians that get angry when Nigerians shrine Nigerian players on a Nigerian forum. I mean its like getting upset because a mother loves her child....typical Bushman African behaviour.

At the end of the day, who the feck is Messi and why th hell should we give a feck about him and most importantly, is he God that we can't compare Obi to him...una dey craze true true!
