Arsenal, Chelsea and Compulsory Holidays

Throughout Europe, only the EPL refuses to observe the winter break. Therefore, during the festivity period, matches are played on December 26th and January 2nd. This busy and hectic period, some have argued, had cost England in the past in FIFA competitions as the players are never fresh and thus were unable to reach the [...]

Unbelievable El Classico

The build up to the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid was sensational. The match was moved to Monday night due to some parliamentary elections in Spain and this in no way dampened the enthusiasm and excitement towards the game. All over the world, football lovers look forward to this match aptly titled “El Classico”. [...]

Interesting Times

Our Super Falcons did it again! It was so heartwarming to see Falcons defeat Equatorial Guinea who had put the only blemish on their African records when they ousted them at the semifinal stage of the AWC two years ago. A lot of people criticized the Super Falcons then for what they termed arrogance and [...]

Samson Siasia

The appointment of Samson Yebowei Siasia as the substantive Super Eagles coach could signal a positive new beginning for the team if he is allowed to work free of our entire well talked about vices as a Nation. It’s been the desire of most fans of the game in Nigeria to have the Bayelsan tutor [...]

Jose Mourinho!

Is there any need to introduce the charismatic Portuguese having been regaled with his almost unbeatable performances in three different leagues in Europe?

The game was played this evening but it was nothing to write home about. I’ve said on this forum many times that our so-called [...]

Can Arsenal Do It?

Is this going to be Arsenal’s season in the EPL? Will they be able to finally win another championship and shame many of us that are disillusioned with Wenger’s experiment with youth at the Emirates? Could this be the season that Emirates would be decorated with the Holy Grail of European club football; the European [...]

What’s Next?

The sorry story of the Nigerian Football Federation continued when the Courts decided that the elections held some weeks ago was not in order. Prior to that election, some aggrieved aspirants went to court to stop it due to what they claimed to be irregularities both in the process leading to and the conduct of [...]

Charting a New Course

As the Super Eagles filed out against Madagascar yesterday at the U.J Esuene stadium in Calabar, nothing seems to have drastically changed from the team that represented us in the last world cup in South Africa. We still have with us Joseph Yobo and Daniel Shittu. While Taye Taiwo was left out for Valentine Nwamili, [...]

What Manner of Coach?

Most of the (if not all) supporters of Arsenal know that the major problem with the team in recent times is a feeble defense that has as goaltender an average athlete named Manuel Almunia. Couple this with the presence of funny characters like Mikel Silvestre, Philippe Senderos and permanently crocked Johan Jourou, it’s never going [...]
