Not Up for It!

The way Arsenal wobbled and fumbled (remember the Fanny Amun Flying Eagles?) against Fulham, Leeds and Swansea in the last three games showed clearly that the team is just not good enough. This may sound a bit too harsh but if truth be told; this team won’t win anything again this year. And this would [...]

Arsenal, RVP and the Unpredictable Premiership

For the first time in the long history of the Premiership, three established ‘big’ teams have struggled to cope with the emergence of the new ‘rich boys’ Manchester City. In a film like manner, Manchester City decimated Manchester United, Manchester United annihilated Arsenal at the beginning of the season, Arsenal ‘killed off’ Chelsea at the [...]

What Happened?

My last post was on the match against the Guineans at Abuja and I was very confident that we would win the match. I however was on the side of caution in the sense that we had messed up twice in the past when it mattered most. I recalled the incidences against Angola in Kano [...]

The Job to Be Done

They lead the group by three points and they are right here in Abuja determined to stop our own Super Eagles from appearing at the next Nations Cup to be jointly hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. Nicknamed the ‘Syli Stars’; they outshone the Super Eagles May last year when a lone goal was enough [...]

A Must Win!

As the Super Eagles line up against a very disinterested Malagasy tomorrow, I can’t but help declare that anything short of a crushing defeat would do! Some of my friends accuse me of being too accommodating of our national team coach, Samson Yebowei Siasia and I would be the first to admit that maybe, just [...]

About Time!

Over the last two months, a major make over of this blog preoccupied my mind. I could not therefore put down any posts as the case may be. And I would be the first to admit the fact that there are so many things to write about. From the Flying Eagles showing in Columbia to [...]

Clash of Titans

A great encounter awaits football fans tomorrow and it’s coming up at nowhere else but at the new Wembley stadium in the UK. When one looks back at the kind of history behind the host of this year’s UEFA champions league final, it would definitely be pardonable if a conclusion of a ‘fitting’ end to [...]

Winning Mentality 1

As it has been in the last few seasons, football analysts did not give much chance to Arsenal to do anything tangible this season due to Wenger’s inability to acquire quality players to complement his brood of talented youngsters. As the transfer window drew close, speculations increased with bewildering pace as to the likely players [...]

History in the Making

Barcelona FC under Pep Guardiola is gradually turning into the best team of all times. And this statement is not far-fetched if one considers the number of impressive wins the team had put together in the last five months not forgetting the total annihilation of the main La Liga rivals Real Madrid. The interesting thing [...]

Trudging Along

Arsenal against the tide of expectations (including mine) comprehensively defeated Chelsea at the Emirates and has since gone on to put in respectable performances against Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic and Manchester City. Had it not been for hard luck and poor defense, they could have come out with nine points in their last three matches [...]
