Re: Dele Alli - What's gone wrong.

It would be interesting to further understand a comment made by Otunba about a gag order- were they paid as I’m unsure as to why you’d sign a gag voluntarily if you feel you’ve been wrong without a pecuniary advantage?? A gag order, especially in this context, is inherently not financially induced ...

Re: Dele Alli - What's gone wrong.

Wow! If the family’s story is to be believed this is another indictment on football potentially at the same level of the abuse that came out over at Crewe Alexandra a few years ago. It calls into question the Mk dons/Spurs deal as there could be potential legal questions. It would be interesting to ...

Re: Paveman and Allard

My bad, I know Solowe passed and thought he was Abu. My apologies to Abu. This is one of those situations when I am glad to be wrong. BTW, for those who don't know Kaycee2G became Danfo Driver. Big Shawn is Big Pokey I think Those were the days for sure. Many of us have been around this forum for a...

Re: Samu wins La Liga African player of the year

Congrats to Samu!

Those are some big numbers posted up there - playing 37 of 38 games is no mean feat and it speaks volumes of his level of consistency this season.

Hope he transfers that quality and consistency over to the National selection.

Re: Paveman and Allard

Those were the days for sure. Many of us have been around this forum for about a quarter of a century. Thank God for his mercies. FWIW, I am friends with Allard on FB. Based on his pics, I'd say he is thriving with wife and kids. I believe Abubakar became Solowe who passed a few years ago. Chief Ga...

Re: Paveman and Allard

Those were the good old days.

Deep convo coupled with Innovative yabbis was the order of the day.

Names like monsecafe, Chima, Mister Dolly, Oba, Mr 7 pointless points and that buran uba chap … hope they’re all ok.

Re: POKEY, YER BOY (BUKAYO SAKA) IS HERE

Saka was received at the Lagos State Governor’s Office today by the Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu. I am really disappointed with this gesture because those who decided to play for us like Aina, Iwobi, Aribo etc never had this courtesy extended to them. I expect Ebere Eze to be warmly welcomed by top...

Re: South American football intelligence is too much ...

It was disgraceful!

There was something not quite right about the game until I heard most of the Brazilians play 1st team football for teams in Brazil whilst the Tunisians are still playing U21/U23 in their various clubs. Says a lot

Re: It’s Nigeria vs Argentina again

I’d say our race is run. They will do whatever it takes to ensure they win. I saw their 1st against the Uzbeks - the crowd virtually willed them to win that game. The longer we hang on the more the crowd will become restless but all it takes is for them to start flopping and resorting to the dark ar...
