Madueke is counterproductive on the left
Popi will make a terrible coach. He has no right to even criticize Maresca seeing that his own calls are way horrendous.

Ibime just smashed his drink from the table after seeing the guy in the middle.
Hahahaha.

Funny enough, I think I was the one who brought it to Ibimes knowledge that Enzo is a stroller.

I saw their WC games to see say na McAllister & De Paul dey run the dirty jobs while Enzo just tried playmaking as much as he could.

Ibime took the revelation personal grin

I believe we’re not thin in the middle this time around

This should be good enough to cover for the UCL and domestic runs even without Lavia.

Isn’t this the same Trezeguet that played for Aston Villa?

Omo eh, Ahly is actually big across Africa and the Middle East. No debates.

I’m hearing we’re aiming to bring back Guehi for a cut-price fee.

Boy has been on my wishlist for God knows how long. He’s grown into a very strong, intelligent center-back. I have no doubt that his partnership with Colwill will be exciting and a mainstay for us as well as the English team.

Get it done.

This old man perisic sabi get better suitors, now na Flick dey find am
It’s majorly about his abilities than suitors.

Perisic is a utility player whom every manager would love to have in their squad. Can play as a LB, LWB, LW and the RW.

Deft touch on the ball, precise passing, good positioning, and being a constant threat are few of the qualities you can get from him.

Think of what you're posting. Does this help your argument? If you stopped watching 22-24 seasons because your team was poor, then your team isn't responsible for the record breaking numbers.
If that explains this season, then what about the previous seasons that were record numbers and both teams were still poor?
Then explain the record breaking seasons. Your team, United, Tottenham were still bad in 22-24. Yet those were the record breaking years.
ROT, you have to be able to explain both sides of the data. If your analysis cannot account for the years of the record-breaking views, it cannot be used for the subpar year. I'm surprised this needs to be explained to people.
Let’s both agree that the three teams I mentioned flunked in the seasons the league had record breaking numbers, conversely, ever wondered the upward surge the paltry numbers of last season would have received if the three teams were in top forms?

Using your article to encapsulate my point, the claim is that, the low numbers were mainly as a result of Liverpool winning the league in April with little or no serious title challenge. Meanwhile, Chelsea were second in December and firmly in the title race. At that stage, we all can agree that the numbers were pretty good because there was a race on, no? Remember I’m using your article against you.

If Chelsea had gone on to maintain momentum and never stepped foot off the gas till say April, those low numbers would never have been possible. This ultimately validates my point that Chelsea blowing cold for the most part of the season contributed to the dip in viewership figures.

Man City was never in the title race last season, so there’s no way on God’s green earth they influenced those numbers.

We can only say If they had been in the race, maybe they could have done better than Chelsea, but that’s still a big IF.

A lot of the big teams apart from Liverpool dipped in form.

Who be city fans? Where them dey?
Chelsea were blowing cold for the most part of the season, that even most of us switched to siddon-dey-look mode. Many of us stopped tuning into our games.

Manyoo and Spuds were total pants, many of their fans got disgruntled and vowed not to follow respective teams season.

These trio teams’ fan base were the BIGGEST reason low interest were recorded in the EPL. Then PL fans who weren’t affiliated to any of these trio teams stopped following too, they could not just stand watching mid-teams like Forest, Newcastle and Villa being the ones vying for Champions league places.

Which fan base City get to dey talk? It’s just funny reading that.

We have submitted new official bid for Jamie Bynoe-Gittens to Borussia Dortmund right now.

€50m proposal on the table after €35m bid rejected, as Fabrice Hawkins reports.

According to Fabrizio, we will try to get it done today; otherwise they will keep negotiating after the deadline.

Good. The club seem to be traveling on the right track with the recent signings.

I no go lie you bro, if I be Osimhen, I for go grab the bag in the Middle East.

Do you notice that Saudi recently no dey too go for the tired legs in Europe? Jhon Duran, Ivan Tony etc na still young lads wey ditch Europe for Saudi. So in a way, the league is gradually growing above retirement home.
Saudi has been on some serious upward trajectory. It’s not just about the league, even their national teams.

Money dey ground and it’s time to take their football seriously

For my eye now Osinhen is better than every player in the world ...
If they can pay 100 million for Grealish , Osimhen deserve all he wants too .. They know how to protect and hype their things and bring down anything Africa
Even goes to show ambition anyway. Naturally, they’ll expect a black boy to rush that cash, Osimhen just changed the narratives.

I hail the dude.

From this guy's channel, I was able to stumble across this video of Ipukulu village where I used to swim as a child/teenager, not far from my house then in Borokiri

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/15WND5svbD/

In my days, this was all bush and the village across the river was only a few fishermen huts, now I'm seeing mansions in Ipukulu

The river also looks shorter than when I was a kid. It was a big task to swim across the river then and only I, my brother and one other boy could do it from our group

See all these big houses in Ipukulu now, it's like I will ask the Chairman of Ipukulbiyie FC for salary increase in FPL, rather than the fishermen change they have been paying me since

That was a massive very rare privilege because we had a benevolent Billionaire in Roman, who just personally underwrote the associated losses. Even then with FFP, he still did what he could.

Y'all need to keep up with the business side of football.

We are in a new era of sustainability and strategy needs to change as a result. Times have changed and we need to get with the program.

We should be grateful that we have owners who are actually finding clever ways of spending every window, buying good young players and protecting the future of the club.

Only 3 days after season end, we don knack better quality, signed and sealed. Other clubs are praying for this type of spending power, will, and efficiency.
Truer words have never been said. Albeit there have been some few misjudged statements made by the Boehly led board though.
