Orlando Pirates – Did You Know?

Either Orlando Pirates is the strongest team, the opponents are over rated or I am crazy, check this out:

* Did You Know last season, Pirates went 6 games drawing spell? I mean we played 6 league draws consecutively but still finished third on the League Log with less than 6 points difference between us and the League winners?

- My point is that 6 consecutive draws means you lost 12 points in the process and the fact that you still occupy the third position on the log there after must either mean your team is strong or those teams trailing you are not strong enough to capitalize and overtake you.

* Did You Know in the last 7 CAF Champions League games, Pirates won none but are the Runner-Up of the tournament?

- I mean if you failed to win even a single game in 7 games, it takes a miracle to take you to the finals.

* Did You Know from the beginning of the season, Pirates played 19 games in all competitions and won only 6 games yet we are MTN 8 Runner Ups, CAF Champions League runner ups and Telkom Knock Out semi Finalists?

It takes a miracle to achieve this I tell you... only 6 wins in full time (excluding a penalty shoot out victory against SuperSport United which I regard as a draw).
