Re: Kanu is a much better player than I thought before
Kanu remains the best player to have ever played for the Super Eagles. He did not have to score to make an impact and his assists were out of this world. I used to look forward to his forays into the opponent's box because I knew he would either score, assist or get awarded a penalty. It's a shame h...

Re: Manchester United 1 V 2 Manchester City(kele assist and
DERBY BLUES So the much awaited Derby has come and gone and United have lost their 100% record in front of their home fans. It was on the face of it, a narrow 2-1 defeat but one which may have deeper ramifications for this season and others after it. The message is clear; Pep is here and he ain’t p...

Re: 23 yrs later, I'm still dizzy. -Oliver Kahn on Jay Jay
Two things. Jay Jay's acceleration when Frankfurt broke forward was phenomenal. No wonder he was first played as a winger by Westerhof against the Ivory Coast. He is lucky he did not end up like Pius Ikedia. Any other coach would have kept him on the right wing. Oliver Khan almost saved the final s...

Re: Emenalo's interview
I really hope Emenalo has a thick skin because he seems to have been made the fall guy in this whole debacle. Notice how no one seems to blame Roman. That's real power! Getting Emenalo to take responsibility for the sacking by simply getting him to vigorously defend it on camera. It gets no better t...

Re: I DONT TRUST IGHALO'S TALENT
Why does nearly every goal he has scored in the premiership have to be a scrappy one ? I dont trust a striker who almost consistently cant catch the ball cleanly with his full foot to score a goal.

Re: Emenalo's interview
Emenalo's 'palpable' interview could have been better handled in some aspects. On the subject of the 'individual', he sounded like a man who did not want to mention Jose by name or acknowledge him in any way or worse, like a man who had had issues with Jose and was glad to see the back of him...

Re: Maybe now Jose Mourinho will have respect for Arsene Wen
Mourinho has achieved much more than Wenger within such a short period. Wenger is lucky he has had such a patient board. This dude went trophyless for nearly a decade! If he had worked for Chelsea, he would be out of a job. Mourinho is abrasive and rubs people the wrong way but that takes nothing aw...

The problem here is lack of home content to report on, coupled with lack of quality and imaginative writers or reporters to give the readers what they need. Ha! Complete Football!

Are footballers better or has the sport simply developed?
I shudder at the way Ronaldo and Messi shake goal-charts these days but everytime I think they are the greatest of all time, I remind myself that these records have been compiled at a time when attacking players have received more protection from referees. The likes of Marco Van Basten received litt...
