English Premiership For Naija Fans

This comes as a welcome news in a relatively quiet transfer window. My reasons being (a) the money involved (b) the player involved (c) the clubs involved Taking (a) the money is a whole lot and for the fact that it’s being spent on a player whose form in recent years has been far from best. The kind of players who have commanded that kind of transfer fee in the past have been the ones who could take on the opposition single handedly and/or in blistering form before their transfer. Torres, in my opinion, is not any of those. For a club like Chelsea who have just paid £20m for Ramires, pouring £50m on another player should require a little more caution. There are better ways to spend £50m. (i) Outbid Liverpool for Suarez. £25m (ii) Man City would gladly accept this for an unwanted Adebayor. £15m So that means two hardworking strikers plus £10m to pay their wages for the next five years. David Villa cost Barcelona £35m. For (b) Fernando Torres has not lived up to the hype that prec

Well I might want to start with the case of comments against a female assistant referee which has caused two Sky Sports analysts at least a week’s pay but on this side of the map, we ain’t cut out for those kinds of stories so I’ll skip but if you still wanna read; help yourself here . If you missed the premiership this weekend, you definitely missed a lot (except you are a fan of any of the City’s namely Stoke, Manchester, Birmingham). It’s been a long time I saw two hatricks in one day (specifically 90 minutes) and adding Liverpool’s first away win in decades and Chelsea’s first premiership away trouncing in the new millennium there might be more records to be broken most notably an unbeaten season from ever impressive Manchester United. Man Utd 5-0 Birmingham Now truth be told, this is the best team so far this season and no matter what happens (except Arsenal sign Messi and win all four trophies) it will remain come the end of the season. What scares you is that they are not ev

Everton have also accepted a fee for Steven Pienaar from Tottenham after accepting a previous one from Chelsea; it’s said to be in the region of £2.5m and £3m from both clubs respectively. This shows they have lost any ambition of Europe this season after chasing Aiyegbeni down to the lower league earlier (heard he just got to Leicester an hour ago). I think Everton are the only team about to sell their best player to two ‘direct’ rivals. Pienaar on the other seems to have only seen London on paper except inside the stadia where his team is always being spanked. Good luck to the African brother on whichever side of London he finds himself. The question now is,”Will he choose Chelsea over Tottenham?”, the truth is that I don’t think so. If he preferred Chelsea, the deal would have been long done before the new offer from Tottenham  came and I also don’t he would want to wear another blue jersey especially for a team that has been on the way down recently. Well Arsenal is about to ma

Follow the livescores of the Carling Cup. West Ham Vs Birmingham Tonight. Like last season, I thought this season’s semi final would be an all premiership affair but a club that just lost its manager and 7-0 to premiership champions Chelsea are still in the race. Though they have the toughest opposition in Arsenal over a two legged encounter it would be wrong to write Ipswich off just yet especially when they still have 24 hours to improve their strategy. Arsenal on the other hand have a lot to prove as they are just fresh from the disappointing 1-1 draw with Leeds in the FA cup . The Gunners have always been a team to blow hot and cold every season so Ipswich might just be praying for the latter as that would be their only hope for an appearance in Wembley this season. On to tonight’s game, West Ham take on Birmingham at the Craven Cottage in the first Carling Cup semi final of the season. West Ham will be playing a match that would be their only hope for a trophy this season and wo

Where Nigerian Fan Make Their News “ Howard Webb wore a Man Utd jersey, they showed it on the news yesterday”, he said in yoruba. Well, before I continue, this is the maiden article from this column. For those of us who have to go to work every morning and see a group of bystanders at the paper stands (guess that’s where it got it’s name from). You may wonder some people could be so jobless on a morning but the football part of you would definitely want to join them but you have to pay bills so you can’t and you wonder how they pay their own bills. Also for those of us who are tired of listening to experts talk about football; I believe the game is already played by experts so we don’t experts telling us what happened because we are not blind and we watch through the same screens. Well, I guess that’s enough of an introduction, let’s go straight to the stands. “Howard Webb wore a Man Utd jersey, they showed it on the news yesterday”, he said in yoruba. Now I know he wore a Man Utd

Arsenal 1-1 Leeds

Hull, Everton, Newcastle, West Brom, out while Arsenal hang on Well the joy of the FA Cup like every other knockout competition is the ‘rare’ occurrence of the smaller teams beating the supposed bigger ones. I called the rest of the fixtures ‘just fixtures’ yesterday and they proved me wrong. All I know about Stevenage is on Wikipedia yet they beat Newcastle. It seems Chris Hughton wasn’t their only problem after all. Reading beating West Brom didn’t come as much of a surprise cos it could have gone either way. Stevenage beating Newcastle wouldn’t have been news had Leeds overcome Arsenal at the Emirates. What I thought would be a walkover for the Gunners became a hill which they are yet to overcome. A replay at Elland Road against former giants and current giant killers Leeds United would be the deciding factor. I definitely would not be putting my money on who would go through eventually. Theo Walcott has apologized on his earlier claims for a penalty , it (the penalty) wasn’t give

Chelsea might not go through and Manchester United have the easiest fixture. Exactly a year ago Chelsea were favourites to win the FA Cup and funny enough they did. Well after a year the story isn’t the same any more. With just 3 wins in their last 13 games in all competitions you definitely would not be putting your bet on them even if they will be playing a championship side at home. Ipswich manager Roy Keane before his (not too surprising) sack decided to watch the Arsenal match even though his team would be playing Chelsea a lot earlier. His choice didn’t matter at the end as he would not be on the bench when both teams play tomorrow. His opposite number (if he had kept his job) though is very lucky to still be on the Chelsea payroll. Now you might want to wonder what Ray Wilkins did wrong; it couldn’t have been worse than what Carlo Ancelotti is doing now. Well, I don’t think they’ll win Ipswich if they couldn’t beat 20th position Wolverhampton Wanderers a few days ago and of co
