If only Manchester United prioritised on pitch player signings the way they do the executive office staff.

Re: The NFF suspends footballer for 2 season for Handball offence

That decision is really harsh. It was not violent conduct or abuse of an official. A 1 match ban for the player (and suspending the referee who allowed the goal to stand) should have sufficed.

Re: Tijani Babangida - Speed Skills & Goals - Goles y Mejores Jugadas

He was the fastest player I have ever seen play for Nigeria 🇳🇬. I remember him tearing the great Paolo Maldini a new one while playing in a Champions League match for Ajax. Unfortunately his career overlapped with another great winger (Finidi George), hence he did not get as many caps as he deserved.

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

The much maligned Maguire had a good game. However, Casemiro’s legs have gone. 🦵He runs at the speed of a slow motion replay. Florentino Perez must be laughing each time he reads Real Madrid’s bank statements after he convinced Manchester United to pay him about 100 million for 2 broken down players...

INEOS hired an external consultant to review costs at Manchester United. As a result, the corporate credit cards of business staff have been cancelled.

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

Indeed. I think Manchester United should have gone for Gvardiol and Pau Torres last year, but alas they decided to ignore Rangnick's recommendations. Branthwaite has a potentially long Premier League career ahead of him. Worth paying to acquire a young player with a high ceiling who is not yet in hi...

Jonny Evans will retire at the same club where he started his career.

Branthwaite should be a priority this summer.

Re: Rivers Utd 1 - USM Alger 0 confed cup

Well done to Rivers United. Well worked set piece goal too.

I noticed that the USMA players spoke to each other in French 🇫🇷 .

Is that surface artificial or grass?

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

Lindelof and Licha Martinez are out injured for the next month. Martinez is like the second coming of Marcos Rojo (spends more time in hospital than on the pitch). He has played in only 9 of United's last 37 matches. A player who misses 76% of his team's matches is cause for concern. His "comeb...

Re: White paper needed on improving Nigeria football

In your Lagos example, can the Surulere national stadium be repurposed and become the home for a Lagos football team(s)? Dangote is not likely to invest in a local football team (although his predecessors such as MKO Abiola and Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu did it) because the Nigerian league does not generat...

Re: White paper needed on improving Nigeria football

Building 45-60K capacity stadiums 🏟 costs serious money and is not a very good idea in a country with a history of massive corruption in construction contracts, white elephant projects, and without a culture of fans traveling long distances for away matches.

Crazy game with 2 goals in the 96th and 98th minutes. Brentford’s equaliser was deserved. It would have been daylight robbery had United won with that 96th minute goal by Mason Mount. Horrendous game going on against Brentford. They have actually replaced their wingbacks for more forwards. They shou...
