This our man's fixation will be his end. Spurs are going to be fired up after the calamity in the northeast at the weekend. So, we will actually need legs in the midfield.
Today na today.
We have to wrap Luke Shaw in cotton wool after every match.
It is so beautiful having a left-footed CB.

Rangers International of Enugu and PitObi.
A thread is on my mind to draw the parallels here, but I want to stay in my football lane.
See, if you are an Igbo person and you strongly believe in PitObi, do NOT be cowed, push him everywhere you are.
About time we stood up.
1977 Africa Cup Winners Cup semi-final. Holders IICC Shooting Stars of Ibadan Vs Rangers International of Enugu.
The whole of Southern Nigeria was spellbound. Both legs were originally to be played in Lagos but 2nd leg was moved to Kaduna on the others of Shehu Musa Yar'Adua

In some societies the people in charge of the crowd at the MKO Abiola stadium on Tuesday 29th March 2022 would lose their jobs.
The first live match I watched was a Principal's Cup game at the old UAC Stadium (now Teslim Balogun). I was at the Stadium in 1989 when Okwaraji died
The memories of the crowd at that my first live game and on the day Okwaraji died at National Stadium Lagos have stayed with me to this day. Nobody died at that UAC but many died at the Okwaraji match - an Italia '90 WC qualifier.
The memory of Tuesday night leaves me shuddering

😭😭
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Algeria miss back to back World Cups but at least they have been African Champions in between.
Italy miss back to back World Cups but they are European Champions.
I will take being African Champions if it means missing a WC.
To not be anything at all is unacceptable

Why exactly did Shelsee buy Romelu Lukaku?
Jordan Henderson just decided to grab this match back from Chelsea. A captain's performance thus far.
Ridiculous double save from Mendy. How?!! 😳😳

What does this man plan to do tonight with this no RB team he's picked?
When was the last time our Nordic Baresi played RB?
Sigh.
How did this club sign this guy and give him captaincy?

Still goalless in Abidjan with 81mins played between the @NGSuper_Falcons and their Ivorian opponents.
Match behind closed doors (for some reason). Ivoriens outside the stadium.
Police vehicle in the background. They fired teargas soon after this photo was taken cos the fans got restless and wanted to get in.

So this man defended Lukaku all week only to drop him tonight?
These Managers get mind.
This Lille's Xeka too will be rated as having played x number of games in the CL. In no 8.
Can't run, can't tackle just there trotting along on the pitch.
I am sure there will be a heat map explaining how he has been great.
This sport is something these days.

#TeamEquatorialGuinea are playing with 10men in this match. He might go on to score (I will be shocked), but their no 9 is the worst player I have seen at this #AFCON2021
What exactly is wrong with the Algerians? Why are they so disrespectful of the ref? Whingeing all about.
Equatorial Guinea have scored o!
IF this game ends like this, the final group game between Algeria and CIV will be WAR. Wow.
Just watching on my TV screen, I felt very sorry for the players out there. In that game, they did not even have a cooling break.
Even JJ Okocha remarked in the SS Studios...
....that the players who are mostly Europe based will suffer in the heat.
I felt it was only going to be a matter of time for us to have a medical emergency.
You watch Sikazwe yesterday and feel that something was medically wrong with him.
CAF should do something about...

What I am reading. (Apologies @DoubleEph)
Absolutely fascinating book on tactics and what the managers that employed them said was their reasons. Hopefully one day I will have a sit down with @Zonal_Marking and discuss some of the stuff in there @dwinnera's book Brilliant Orange gets a good plug.

"We think we can finish 4th" says your "Serial Winner" manager who has spent £75m, £89m, £55m on some players. His target is to "win 4th place trophy".
1st season he finished 25pts behind the champions. 2nd ssn 19pts behind. Now in DEC, 19pts behind the leaders. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
His Worshippers: "he won 3 titles in his first season".
But he finished 6th and 25pts behind champions
"He has won the PL 3 times. He won the CL with Porto. He finished 2nd last season
But he was closer to 4th than to 1st
"He won the Treble with Inter.
