Re: Madrid vs City

@Tx, behave. Entertaining exhibition but defensively, a case of who spiked the water bottles. Leading up to Bernie’s free kick, how far was Grealish allowed to carry the ball before being engaged? Looked like an outtake from United vs Liverpool. Camavinga’s equaliser, Grealish returns the complimen...

Re: Losing Saka should be a criminal offense by Pinnick

Even if Saka chose Nigeria, his effectiveness would only be as good as the coach and NFF allows him to be. There would be no point of having a sword one cannot use properly. True. Sakas kind of raw talent is in abundance in Nigeria. That is not the issue. I know we are in denial, but it’s the devel...

Very disappointing result given the dominance. For some reason the boys are so wasteful in front of goal. But this was always going to be tough, I felt, and is the toughest road game left IMO. I still think the advantage lies with City, based on strength of schedule... Our forwards have been wastef...

Re: Local Coach Advocacy- Like Forrest Gump!

For me the issue is simple. I do not like Nigerian born coaches. I do not think they are best for SE. Not because I don't think they are not competent. Not at all. But they come with their EXTREME biases, favoritism, tribalism, bigmanism , and propensity to work for THEMSELVES rather than the team....

Yeyeman You keep mentioning that Siasia was banned for match-fixing: As far as I can recall, that claim is not accurate. What is accurate is that Siasia was banned for failing to respond, in a timely manner, to allegations of match fixing. There is a difference. If you state otherwise, can you plea...
