Couldn’t disagree more. He was pretty good considering he’s only getting used to Pep’s system.

How do you go from being considered one of the best goalies in the world to suddenly becoming one of the worst? Unbelievable.

Re: Shaka Hislop (Former Newcastle GK) Collapses on Live TV

This is another opportunity to urge CE members to learn the basics of CPR. I’ve been unrelenting in sending this message out on this board for years now. Same with peeps like Scipio.

If they want their clubs state owned then so be it.

Re: Nigeria vs Canada - FIFA World Cup 2023 (0-0) FT ( Nnadozie saves PK) Red Card Abiodun

THE NARRATIVE HAS CHANGED - FOR THE GOOD Wasn't too long ago when a post-match discussion of a Super Falcon match was primarily embarassed lamentation of how lacking the team was in fundamentals, heavy with suggestions as to how they could improve. Some of us saw this impovement a few years ago (bu...

Re: How come Croatia with a tiny population

Neither were captain Ekong, Aribo, Okoye, Balogun, Akpoguma, Ebuehi, and Lookman. That's the problem, those guys are NOT Nigerians. My apologies...but do you mean they are not native Nigerian?

Re: How come Croatia with a tiny population

Keep an eye 👁 on Osimhen, Bassey, and Moffi. Those 3 are unlikely to be at their current clubs for many years. When they get sold, the combined transfer fee will be in the 100-150 million range. There is also another highly rated lad at Fenerbahce called Bright Osayi-Samuel. The other players to ke...

Re: Will Serie A go 0-3 in Euro Finals?

I won't be surprised if Inter win this thing. They are the type of team that frustrates Pep teams all game and then kills them with one counter. It's going to be an intriguing game for sure. Of course, if Inter make a mistake early, and City score first, all bets are off. They will be done. I have ...

They looked very tired to me. They definitely weren't their usual selves.

Re: FA Cup Final: Will Haaland break the easy peasy “60 goals” barrier

If Pep and City do the business on Saturday against Inter, we must all agree in the interest of truth that the man should be called Pep Geniusdiola. Enough of the nonsense about chequebook manager.

Vini Jnr. himself has posted a compilation of some of the pattern of racial abuses he has been subjected to below.
