They were agonized when we beat Zamalek and Al Ahly and were quick to point out
the Ramadan effect. When we lost to Zamalek, they were quick to point out that
Zamalek and Al Ahly will go through and when we lost to AC Leopards they jumped
up with joy and wrote us off the CAF Champions League. Agony was all over their
faces when we qualified for the semifinals.

When we lost to AmaZulu in our league opener they celebrated until SuperSport
United coach Cavin Johnson and his charges silenced them, we then met on the first
leg of the MTN8 Semi-final. Diane Klate left Mzansi's number, Itumeleng Khune, sprawling
on the ground and they said siyabuya.
In
the second leg at Orlando Stadium they drew first blood and they thought they
are through, however their coach Stuart Baxter made unintelligent substitutions
and we equalised and won on aggregate. They were up in arms against Referee Daniel
Bennett forgetting that they won the Carling Black Lable Cup via an offside
thanks to their card carrying supporter Referee Victor Gomes. They left Orlando
Stadium with their tails between their legs.

They will be further agonized when we reach the final of the CAF Champions
league and I will be there together with my fellow Buccaneers to laugh at their
agonized faces when we are crowned the African Club Champions for the second
time while they are still looking for the first star.
