La Liga - again. Barcelona (the team being investigated for unexplained monetary payments to the head of the referees' association) - again. Athletic Club (Bilbao) were losing 0-1 at home to Barcelona. Inaki Williams equalised after out running the Barcelona defence (a run he started from inside his...

The 🇺🇸 USA is his best option if he wants to play regularly. No way he is getting into Nigeria's 🇳🇬 or England's first 11 as long as Osimhen and Kane stay fit. Even if he tries to "wait out" the soon to be 30 yo Kane, he might be waiting 3-5 years while Rashford, Toney, and Abraham are als...

It was almost as if Fulham wanted to lose the game. Putting hands on the referee is a big no-no and Mitrovic will likely get an extended ban. The FA will make an example of him. Also, why did Marco Silva get himself red carded BEFORE the ref had even made up his mind about whether or not to award a ...

Question: You are facing a corner from Andreas Pereira (one of the best dead ball specialists in the EPL). Pereira is known to aim most of his corners at his teammate Mitrovic (a big strong center forward who is one of the most dangerous forwards in Europe in the air). You do not have many tall play...

Given the current injury and suspension situation and how tight the Top r race is I would rotate the team for the FA quarter-final against Fulham as follows: Heaton Dalot-Maguire-Martinez-Shaw McTominay-Sabitzer Fernandes Antony-Rashford-Elanga Subs: DDG, AWB, Malacia, Lindelof, Fred, Mainoo, Sancho...

Randy will probably field her as an auxiliary GK.

Picking Maguire and Coady instead of Tomori, and Toney instead of Abraham, are head scratching decisions.

Eze’s best chance of international football is with Nigeria . There is a massive queue of English AMs ahead of him (Foden, Mount, Maddison, Saka etc).

…AKA only 3 points above the relegation zone.

They are 12th.

Amazing how a team with ballers like Zaha, Eze, and Olise in the team are in relegation danger.

I was about to reply substantively. Then I remembered that one of my new year resolutions was to avoid talking to bipolar patients. You must be insane. That’s literally the same team without Musa and Bameyi . On what planet is Aniagboso good enough for a SE invite? Chukwueze and Lookman in MF? When ...

In a sane world, the squad could/should have been:

First 11:

Uzoho
Ebuehi-Awaziem-Bassey-Sanusi
Lookman-Ndidi-Onyedika-Chukwueze
Osimhen-Moffi

Other squad members: Adeleye, Aniagboso, Onyemaechi, Ajayi, Akpoguma, Osayi-Samuel, Yusuf, Aribo, Iwobi, Iheanacho, Onuachu, Simon.

The make-up of available Nigerian players (many strikers, few quality defenders, playmakers, and central midfielders) almost "forces" the coach to play with 2 strikers in order to accommodate more of the forwards. So it has to be 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 (with Osimhen and Moffi up front). Very risky...

@YemiBrazil - you redeemed yourself with your second sentence!...

Very strange that Man Utd has drawn a Spanish team in every single round (including the group stage). Has this ever happened before?

At this rate, Man Utd might as well rent an Air BnB in Spain since they are there so often!

It is a football club established by the owners of KFC and Pizza Hut...

Thierry Henry reckons Man Utd should sign Kane instead or Osimhen (his rationale is that Kane already knows the EPL).

Have you been recently labotamised? The bold text is completely bizarre. My list excludes (not "includes" as you said) Omeruo, Onyeka, and Musa. :shock: If Nobel prizes were awarded for illogical posts, yours would win one. Bro, why pretend to be objective when all you want to see in the s...

@Oji - important competitive games are not the arena to be experimenting with inexperienced and untested players (that is what friendlies are for). My changes to the squad would be: Adeleye (instead of Sochima) Ebuehi (instead of Bameyi) Awaziem (instead of Omeruo) Onyedika (instead of Onyeka) Yusuf...

I do not Fn believe it. Man Utd have been drawn against another Spanish team in the Europa League quarter-final. 🤦🏽 8 games against Spanish teams this season. Really weird that Man Utd has had to play Spanish teams 6 times in this season’s Europa League. In fact British and Spanish teams have played...

The biggest issues with the 🇳🇬 squad selection are in the GK, defence, and midfield areas. Although people are upset about Musa and Simon being in the team, they are not likely to play as Nigeria has so many attacking options. The omissions of Adeleye, Ebuehi and Onyedika are baffling (especially wh...

It seems that England are “borrowing” from Nigeria’s playbook. Gallagher, Maguire, Phillips, and Stones are in the squad even though they have spent most of this season injured and/or sitting on the bench. Phillips has played a grand total of 56 minutes in the Premier League this season - yet he is ...

…and another shocker from the 0-0 draw between Man Utd and Southampton at the weekend. VAR refused to tell the referee to review this blatant handball by Southampton’s Armel Bella-Kotchap in the area. Bella-Kotchap actually bent down on the ground and stopped the ball with his hand! Yet no penalty. ...
