Well, your boys are trying sha, as for Pillars, they brought this upon themselves so they should dance to the tune.

NPL and NFF are as clueless as a cat trying to know why it's got a tail. bet me, none of them is at home looking after the league.

Champions league, here we come.

If Kano pillars wins their 2 remaining matches, they are going to top the table and win the league in respective of what Enyimba does with their last match.


But can Pillars really do this?

Isn't Kano's last match with Enyimba
Makes what Enyimba does quite relevant in their last game. Just hope there is enough security

That last match would be shown live on SS3 and NTA, Its the star match and Enyimba won't try anything rubbish that day.

But Pillars still need to win against Heartland first before that match, if they lose that, then Enyimba is likely to win the league.

NPL reschedule outstanding fixtures

All outstanding fixtures in the Nigeria Premier League are to be played on Saturday July 3, with the final round of league games scheduled to be played simultaneously on Wednesday July 7.

this country is a joke!!

So these spastics came out of their office to declare the very next day to be the day all outstanding matches will be played, i can only imagine the coach/players getting phone calls the night before that they have an outstanding game

Nigeria is the only country that is still an ongoing season, with outstanding games and some pumpkin somewhere will shout we have the best league in Africa- what a joke!!

This is why i support the ban on football, i just want us to come back home, think of the league, plan the league and put in the right people to handle the league, our league should be 100% better than what we have today if all the energy AIT, GALAXY, STV, NTA channel towards the SE and the EPL is being channeled to the league.

I WANT GJ TO BAN NTA FROM SHOWING ANY FORUM LEAGUE IF THEY CAN'T SHOW 2 LOCAL LEAGUE LIVE MATCHES EVERY SUNDAY AND SUNDAY.

Star match

07/07 Enyimba vs Pillars


Enyimba needs just a draw while Pillars need to beat Enyimba in Aba to be able to win the league.

can Pillars do this?

The match will be played in Aba so Pillars should just forget about it. I heard 3sc have avoided relegation and they'll be playing in the premier league next season

Ahmed Musa has hit 18 goals. He scored in the 1-1 draw with Lobi. He's now the all time highest goal scorer in the Nigerian Premier League

Kano pillars is not geting a point out of Aba. i'm so sure the elephants will see to that .

^^^^ even with a point, Enyimba will win the league.
But I fear those Pillars strikers. Their counter attack is something else.
And I think Enyimba will be under pressure with the match being played in Aba and the entire Nation watching.

I hope they win it though and Emordi would have proved once again that on the home front, he is one of the best!

with title at stake and Enyimba at home, pillars should just forget it

Football is more than just being at home or away, if Kaduna united could come to Aba to beat Enyimba, then Pillars is also capable of repeating the same feat, nothing like cheating here, Enyimba wont try anything funny because it's going to be shown on NTA LIVE on Wednesday, you guys should not miss that match.

Ahmed Musa says Enyimba will fall in Aba
Sunday, 4 July 2010

Current highest goal scorer in the Nigeria Premier League, Kano Pillars Ahmed Musa has boasted that he will personally make sure they triumph over Enyimba in the last match of the season which will come up next Wednesday in Aba.

Musa who set a new record in goal scoring in the domestic league with 18 strikes told www.npl.com.ng that the team is well motivated to win the trophy in Aba in spite of the kind of team the Aba side parades.

"I am so sure that by next Wednesday evening, Kano Pillars will be crowned the champions of Nigeria Premier League. I am optimistic because we have a solid side that can beat any club in Nigeria.

"The game in Makurdi against Lobi Stars last Saturday would have given us the opportunity of overtaking Enyimba on the league table, but the referee decided to give Lobi a cheap penalty which made them equalise as the game ended 1-1.

"But we are not worried because we know that with good officiating, we can beat Enyimba. I am ready to do my best to make sure that we win that match because only a win will give us the trophy. We are putting everything into the match and I am confident victory will come our way," Musa said.

Enyimba is presently on top of the league table with 67 points, while Kano Pillars is on 66 points.

In a chat with www.npl.com.ng, Chinedu said on the relegation of his former club, Chinedu, says, "It is very painful to see Ranch Bees go on relegation and I feel for them. All the same, I thank God for helping me get the opportunity to showcase my talent there from where I was spotted by Rangers."

"I feel for the remaining players in the team because we had a good relationship while I was there, and we did our best.

"But since it has happened, they must strive to return to the Premier League next season.

The pint-sized teenager was full of thanks for all his Rangers team mates who were there for him as well as the technical crew that showed enough trust in his God given talent to throw him into action to defend the colours of the club.

"I also give my coaches kudos for their belief in my God given talent and I will do more to ensure that Rangers appears in the continent next season," enthused the youthful midfield maestro.

'Messi' as Chinedu is fondly called by his fans in Enugu, promised to display more of what he is made of when his team engage Dolphins in the last game of the season in Port-Harcourt stressing.

"Dolphins will not know what hit them when we play them. I know it will be difficult but we are pushing to annex all three points to enhance our chances of placing third believing that Warri Wolves will get draw Sunshine Stars back".
