Re: Super Eagles 96 - amazing documentary on amazon

I finally had a chance to watch this. It is a 9/10. Excellent documentary featuring interviews with all the key personnel such as Westerhof, Okocha, Amokachi, Amunike, Ikpeba, Babayaro, Dosu et al. Things I liked: 1) The film 🎥 makers did an excellent job of juxtaposing 1990s Nigerian football again...

Re: Osimhen out of WCQ

He has a spectacular record of missing key international matches/tournaments. Incredibly, the 2024 AFCON was the first international tournament in which he started a game for Nigeria 🇳🇬 (since making his debut 7 years ago! ). In those 7 years, his only other tournament experience for Nigeria 🇳🇬 was ...

Well done to Mason Greenwood for being Getafe’s player of the season. Fabrizio Romano claims that United plans to sell Greenwood.

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

Thanks for sharing that extra bit of info about his education. I did not know that he got 9As in his GCSEs. Another tidbit: there were 6 youth team graduates in the Manchester United team that beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final. That extended United’s streak of having an academy graduate in ev...

Re: Vincent Kompany about to land Bayern gig!

:rotf: Exactly. Joachim Low managing Germany 🇩🇪 for 8 years before winning a trophy 🏆 or Aliou Cisse managing Senegal 🇸🇳 for the same amount of time before winning a trophy, would never be tolerated in Nigeria 🇳🇬. Imagine if NFF had hired him (Kompany) to coach SE, this site would have shut down and...

Very solid list. The best and most logical SE list in a long time. I am glad that Moffi was included. Is Bruno Onyemaechi injured?

Re: CAF 2023 Awards :APOY Our Victor Osimhen and Asisat Oshoala

Is Lookman (Europa League winner and AFCON finalist) the favourite to win it? If so it will be the first time for nearly 30 years (since since 1993-1994 and 1996-1997) that Nigerians have won it two years in a row.

Re: Vincent Kompany about to land Bayern gig!

Bayern specialises in providing redemption to out of favour people: Gnabry (failed to make the grade at Arsenal and WBA, where WBA manager Tony Pulis said he was "not at the required level" to play for WBA). Eric Dier (a reserve at Spurs) - now starts for Bayern ahead of Kim. Choupo-Moting...

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

What a fairytale ending to Jonny Evans’ career. After getting relegated with Leicester City last season and being out of contract and clubless, he trained with his boyhood club Manchester United in pre-season to keep fit while looking for a new club. Incredibly, United (whom he joined as a 16yo) res...

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

Mainoo deserves his place in the team. He does not play in the same position as Amrabat so should have no causation to Amrabat’s exclusion from the team. After Casemiro got injured, the choice of Mainoo’s partner in central midfield should have been between McTominay and Amrabat. Instead ETH persist...
