MrWhaley:

So 2005 is 14 to 15 years ago??
Don't come here and display unwarranted ignorance. You must be a Chelsea fan.

Onyenna:
O bughi obere ihe.. .....Congratulations Rangers!

Btw my Heartland is in a mess!

prinsam30:




point of correction I'm not ignoramus. ur the one who stand to be corrected, arsenal actually won the Premier League in 2003–04 without losing a single match which is also close to 14yrs and by the way I'm not chelshit because red is my blood, United for life.


If you don't know anything about something, please google is there to help not come here and start spewing nonsense on my comment

2004 is 12 years and so it's still close to 14 years?! Wow. I am bemused.

Since you are Red,I don't mind so much. Thought you were a Noisy BLUE,our neighbors.

I am a Gunner and we still have problems with United. So,you's still a Hater.

No qualms,Bro...how your side?

I think you need to explain the bold part, cos I do not know El-Kanemi is an Igbo Language hence the Club is from either SE or SS!

When 3SC was representing, where is Enyimba, Ifeanyi Uba FC and Rivers United?! Let me briefly enlighten you Kid..... Gabros was bought and the Name changed to Ifeanyi Uba FC. Can you mention how many Trophies won by Gabros?! Rivers United is an amalgamation of Sharks and Dolphins respectively, do I need to inform you the reason for the Amalgamation?! It's simply because one of the Clubs was disgraced and ousted from the Nigeria Premier League!

Enyimba came into spotlight in the 20th Century Lad! Hence it's far below the success Shooting Stars of Ibadan - the Oluyole Warriors - have recorded as far as domestic League and Competitions are concerned!

Meanwhile I won't let your tribal bigotry to disrupt this Thread...... a big Congratulation to Rangers! It's a Victory well deserved. I hope they represent Nigeria well in the next Africa Champions League!

yedidiah:
yeah, in another 50years because they will win the EPL in 20years time.

Though not in support of some guys and ethnocentric comments on football discuss, which remain the only sector bereft of ethnic brouhaha.

FCIfeanyiuba today have almost equal yoruba players to igbo players + other foriegn players!

However, In just 16years Enyimba has surpased what ever record 3SC must have recorded!

Heartland, Rangers and Enyimba have won more league titles than 3SC but 3sc still have the edge over heartland and Rangers @continental records! Enyimba still remain Nigeria's most succesful clubside

Keneking:
But you can not hear MFM, Akure United, Ikorodu Utd or even Sunshine win since return to democracy. Has anyone observed this trend?

Anyway, has that Enugu Rangers Int'l injured player rejoined his mates.

That injury caused a scare in dying mins.

Evergreen4:
The God that did it for Rangers after waiting for 32 years will also do it for arsenal this season.


Not an arsenal fan though, but I want them to have a feel of the trophy.

Even if na rubber cup, make them still carry this season

aadvark:
please dont even start. every club has a nickname and i dont see anything wrong with 'flying antelopes'. i guess u think its wrong cos its nigerian. liecester city is nicknamed 'the foxes' but i've never heard u complain

joeprince23:
i am a strong rangers fan,i had to leave portharcourt today to watch the match live at ogui road in enugu NA statium.it was spectacular,last yr was eyimba,this yr is rangers,next yr will be fc ifeanyi uba... Sorry sha to my rivers united u gave a good fight

omoyowa:
D southwest teams are they not part of the game...
I have not heard of any afonjas team making waves in Nigerian league..
it is only SE and SS team...from eyimba to ranger to river united to Ifeanyi uba to elkanem...
can someone explain?

masseratti:
the major reason why the south West clubs are not doing well is very simple, they were privately owned before Government took over, and most of the government in Sw do not see clubs as a major priority, in other states apart from sw, a football game is great entertainment due to the fact that they do have other forms of entertainment that most people in lag or other states are already busy with, things are changing in other parts too, thanks to Dstv and veiwing centers.

ElDeshLee17:

chesterlee:

Afonja Shut up!!!
Enyimba and Enugu Rangers are the joint highest NPFL winners...
3sc ko 33 ni

FILEBE:




Lol. I find nothing wrong giving nicknames to club. I see nothing wrong in that. It is just funny that "flying " is used with antelope. Antelope would have been okay. Flying eagles is okay but if we had said running eagles, how will it sound to you.

InyinyaAgbaOku:


No only Una states get limited purse?
Are you saying sports development is not necessary?
The reason why eastern leagues do better than yours is the interest shown by eastern masses to football. And from the masses come the leaders.

forgiveness:



Is 4 greater than 5? The last time I checked, 3SC won the League 5 times which makes them the 3rd behind Rangers and Enyimba, while Heartland only won the League 4 times.

Enyimba is the most successful clubside in Nigeria followed by 3SC based at continental records.

Those are my two favourite clubs. I don't know why Oyo state government doesn't want to sell the club to nairabet. I believe if they sell it, 3SC go do something.

PRXPERT:
never wanted to reply you but I have tell you this, in early 80s my uncle was still in University of ibadan, him and his eastern brothers went to watch a game between 3sc and bendel insurance, the left to the stadium so early because they don't want to miss seats, they got there and were disappointed because they thought it was in enugu where stadium get filled very early! so what I am saying is the SW don't show support to their local leagues! despite their numerical strength in media today.. so you don't have any excuse on why you do very bad in npfl!

aadvark:
some nicknames are meant to be wierd, unusual, and by extension, unique. consider 'red devils'. its not supposed to mean the devil is red, it just conveys how dangerous the team can be to other teams. now look at 'flying antelopes' again. you know how fast an antelope runs, now imagine that it also flies. it says about the team that they are either extremely fast in their style of play, or that they lead the other teams being antelopes with the rare attribute of flight. moreover, the nickname is coined from their logo.

well talking about logos, some npfl teams have really stupid logos. rangers' and enyimba's are splendid, but i really disgusted with kano pillars'. what do you think?

kjhova:


Dude, take a chill pill yea, I am not from the SW and all I did was give a reasonable answer to an interesting question. I am too old to be part of the internet tribal gangs, ok?

Life is a phase brother. Abiola babes, Leventis, Stationary Stores et al had done great things in the past & when 3SC had an unbeaten season in 1983/84, there was no Enyimba or Ifeanyi Ubah then. Same way as Rangers was trash in the 90s when BCC Lions & El Kanemi were winning things.

I really don't think serious minded NPFL fans like us care about this silly ethnic talk thou.

InyinyaAgbaOku:

I don't care wherever you cow from.
What I said is the truth. You did it in the past Os not a good reason to did. Westside clubs are not even struggling as we speak not to talk of doing well. As at that time, Rangers was doing well too. Enyimba and Rangers are the highest winners of the league.
Even kano pillars is more prestigious than 3SC now.

InyinyaAgbaOku:

You yorubas have a problem with telling yourselves the truth.
Is there more entertainment in Oyo, osun, Ekiti, ondo, ogun more than in Enugu, Imo, Anambra, Abia, and SS parts of delta, rivers, akwaibom?
The only South west clubs that even saw sunlight in the table are the lagos clubs, so where are you getting tgis entertainment excuse from?
Jokers. Your clubs have failed. Simple.
