Please if you have nothing to add to a discussion, go and wank off or something. Nonsense. How much is air flight to Naija from UK that folks can't go home once in a while.
Thank you. All over 'Lere there are viewing centres. The kids don't have to go far away from home. In many cases their dads might be drinking there as well.

If you think a kid of 10-13 cannot by themselves watch matches at view centre then you should be questioned on you claims that you are a Nigerian. Just visit pry 4-5 students in their schools on Monday and they will download everything that happened in the EPL. One day one of such kids asked me question based on what they had been arguing about and I was like what concerned these guys with clubs like Crystal Palace in the first place when there were the big 4 to discuss?

I was in Nigeria for two weeks in January and I know the viewing centers for Arsenal games and the were no kids there, so unless there is something you know that others don't.

There were no 10-13 year olds paying money to watch footy. Especially the poor ones :idea: who were hungry

Anikulapo, I was in Nigeria recently and took my 12 year old nephew to watch a match in one of those centres, and guess what I saw a family with their 1 year old baby and their 7 and 8 year old son and daughter watching a football match, stupid talk.
If you give me Cole and I give you Gallas, surely, SURELY, you owe me money? waka man on the Cole Gallas transfer saga

Why the arguement? People's experiences are different.
Some of you may not have seen kids going alone to view football matches.
some of you may have seen kids viewing mathces.

Tbh, In a place like Naija... it's not far-fetched to hear of kids going out and about by themselves.

I've watched matches at viewing centres before...severally. Even on days I'm not home and I want to catch a glimpse, I just branch at the nearest viewing centre and kids are all over the place. If you meet some of them on the street and they happen to know you like football, you will be shocked at the kind of questions they will ask you.
