You can say that again..

Only few Africans have failed at Chelsea. That's if any at all

Few years ago, I used to wonder why it's hard to find a black keeper in UCL, EPL, etc. At a point, I concluded it's because blacks can't keep or they hate being unnoticed, so most opted for playing instead of keeping.

I feel happy Mendy has broken the yoke.

The next yoke I can't wait to see broken is Nigeria or UAR, as we now call it, being able to manufacture anything and everything locally with professional finishing like China and Japan.
