Another week, another drubbing for Muhsin Ertugral, his eyes became even more squint, his hair became greyer, that pre-season arrogance disappeared, but what did he expect? He is there one who proclaimed that he has only 7 quality players including Emile Baron, how demoralizing can that be to players? Now that Kaizer Chiefs have been walloped in the field, they can expect the same treatment in the boardroom as Sphelele Mthembu is legible to play for Pirates and judging by his big smile on the Pirates website, it’s a done deal.
Surprise Surprise, another free agent for Amakhosi, Zito Ogbonna, I have tried to get some information on this “sensation”, well apart from his facebook page, all I could find was the news that he has been signed by Chiefs. We just have to wait and see, but I would advise the Chiefs fans not to hold their breath, I have heard this song many times and it delivered Wasiu Ipayi, Wedson Nyirenda, some guy called Malam, Elton Maringa, Something Dube from Swaziland, the list is endless and I mean that the list is endless.
Golden Arrows were at it again this weekend, they beat Swallows, and remain unbeaten in the league and have beaten Chiefs, no, they actually totally walloped Ajax and Chiefs, slapped Sundowns around in their own backyard and beat Pirates, is it me or is this team becoming exceptionally good? My only issue with Arrows is fielding of those third grade Brazilians but Mato Madlala has something good going in Lamontville except I don’t understand why they only have 47 supporters.
Henri Michel is now the coach or manager at Downs, to welcome him, they easily dispensed of the over confident Thanda Royal Zulu, I noticed that Acuna was wearing a hairstyle that made him look like Michel’s son, but more importantly, what is the point of Trott Moloto being kept at the first team, Is it empowerment? I doubt, Is it tokenism? Most definitely. If Trott had any pride, he would be out of there but I guess money is more valuable than Pride. Mr. Michel welcome to Downs, for you sake I hope you have not unpacked all your suitcases, patience is not in the Chloorkop vocab.
There is something very different with the make up of the Pirates team this season, firstly, they are fielding big boys now, it does not look like “Ntokozo Primary School “ when they get on the field, and secondly there are fewer fancy players in the team, this is the key to winning, fielding workhorses. I hope Pirates fans don’t start with their crap of demanding “attractive football”, the only thing you win with that is flair play of the week.
Good luck to Bafana against the indomitable Lions, I do hope the Lions will field lions not cubs, our team needs to be tested thoroughly, the Confederations Cup is almost here, still I am puzzled at the exclusion of Terror Fanteni. Maybe he must follow in the footsteps of the other Terror and form his own bafana team called BOPE, Bafana of the People, and maybe recruit the likes of Henyekane and Siayabonga Sangweni, but seriously what must these guys do to be taken seriously?
