We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.

I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Don't mind Amafolas...LOL he was hearing about Yakubu Mambo :lol: :lol: :lol:

But seriously though, Naija press referred to him as an 18-yr old for about 5 years. Not any fault of his though. I think we became aware of him as a member of the Olympic team (2000?), where he played quite well with Agali and Ikedia. Someone posted a clip recently, and he was actually slim and fast!

Anyway, to borrow a leaf from AyoAkinfe, Rohr should invite him, Emenike and Anichebe to come and 'wound' Cameroon.

Former Eagles striker joins English club

Post by soccerblitz »

Former Nigeria striker, Yakubu Aiyegbeni has joined English side Coventry City until the end of the season.

Coventry manager Russell Slade had confirmed the club would be looking to sign the 34-year-old former Nigeria international if he could prove his fitness when training with the Sky Blues – who sit bottom of the league.

Yakubu, who also has Premier League experience with Middlesbrough and Portsmouth, has now penned a deal that will see him stay at Coventry until May 2017.

The name Yakubu has been synonymous to the word "miss" in my brain. :D :D
Each time I hear or read Yakubu the famous miss comes to mind. :D
