: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 happy for this fella. Great to see how much joy this brought to him and his team mates.

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?

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.

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...

:rotf: Alcohol is dangerous. I was briefly in Kosovo where my team "Jide Kosovo" finished 6th runner up in the Lorpa Semi-Amateur Sunday League Division B. It goes without saying that we are absolutely stoked with the victory, and while it is not quite as impressive as some.of the above, i...

What a fairytale ending to Jonny Evans’ career. After getting relegated with Leicester City last season and being out of contract and clueless, 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...

Has it been (nearly) a year already. Time really flies. Here goes for the 2023-2024 season: Boniface and Tella - 🇩🇪 Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal league and cup double, and Europa League finalists) Lookman - Europa League (Atalanta: Italy 🇮🇹) Ndidi and Iheanacho - EFL Championship (Leicester City: Englan...

Guardiola said that Licha Martinez is one of the top 5 center backs in the world.

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...

Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired 11 years ago Manchester United has: Won the Europa League Won the FA Cup (twice) Won the League Cup (twice) Reached the Europa League final twice Reached 3 FA Cup finals Despite United reaching 7 cup finals the post Ferguson era is deemed a failure. Most other clubs d...

His prior exclusion from the team for months has been utterly mystifying. All the more so since he plays in a position (DM) where United has no strength in depth, has only 1 other player, and said other player was injured for long spells this season, or playing in CD when he was not injured. Having ...

"Junior"? De Gea faced just as many (if not) more shots but his Spider-Man reflexes meant he saved most of them and won the Golden Glove award. United rewarded him for 12 years of brilliance by showing him the exit door and paying nearly 50 million for an inferior GK. I still maintain that...

I still maintain that Onana is a liability.

We may need to look into Cole Palmer's background too.

McKenna is a promising coach but not ready to handle the Manchester United juggernaut. He needs a few more seasons of top level management before he can manage a club as big as Manchester United. Manchester United specialises in appointing the right person at the wrong time: 2013: Moyes (when Mourin...

What a soap opera. First he resigned, then he changed his mind and decided to stay on. Then Barcelona took the decision out of his hands and fired him. Hansi Flick is the favourite to replace Xavi.

But I don’t want him near the SE again.

…and now the FA has charged West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta for allegedly getting booked deliberately in 4 separate games in order to influence betting on those games.

Sky Sports has reported that United have held talks with the representatives of Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna about bringing him back to United. If this is true, then ETH May face the same fate as his compatriot LVG whom United fired a few hours after managing the club in the FA Cup final (a match ...

I watched a documentary about penalties that jogged my memory about this thread. It featured interviews with several players who have taken part in penalty shoot outs - including Antonin Panenka (inventor of the penalty of that name). Panenka revealed that before the iconic penalty shoot out between...
