Chiefs chickened out of the Champions league after losing 6-1 to Esperance in
the 3rd round (They lost 4-0 away and won 2-1 at home) they couldn't make it to
the group stages so they had to play in the CAF Confederations Cup. They failed
to honor the fixture against Ismaili of Egypt and were subsequently banned for
2 years. #
Sunday,

Orlando
Pirates qualifies for the group stages with a 3-2 aggregate win.
Chiefs fans: "That's the furthest you will go in this competition
Al Ahly and Zamalek will tear you apart. You won’t make the semi-finals with
your mediocre draw specialist team."
Pirates fans: Don't you just wish it’s your team which has qualified
for the group stages of the most prestigious trophy in the continent? Do you
know how it feels to beat TP Mazembe against all odds? Your keeper has never
saved two penalties in a single match so shut up learn how to survive in Africa
you motor-mouths."
The Group
Stages Began:

back from the break. "

Chiefs fans: "You beat a team with hungry players, you must thank Ramadan!"
Pirates fans:: "Well it’s not the first time they play games during Ramadan. They
are the defending Champions so where was Ramadan when they won this title? Go to
hell maan!! "
Ted Dumitru: "People must not be fooled by Pirates victory
against Al Ahly those guys had low energy levels plus it was hot. Pirates are
yet to be tested and Zamalek will give them a challenge... "
Saturday

Pirates fans: "Hey you bloody animals, haven't you learned your lessons yet?"
Saturday,

Sunday,
20 October 2013, Stade Olympique de Radès: Esperance 1-1 Orlando Pirates
Orlando
Pirates are through to the final against AL Ahly.... meanwhile Esperance fire
their coach.
Chiefs fans: “I bet my life you won’t win the second star, we will be there to
support Al Ahly."
Pirates fans: "Le tla re sheba le re shebe... le tla re shebela mahhala, le tla
bolawa ke di pelo... we have been tormenting you since the beginning of this tournament,
we will keep tormenting you till the end..."
Chiefs fans and the
rest of Mzansi:
"Pirates are doing it for the nation
we need to support them. They are our pride.'
Pirates fans: "Losers we've come this far without you and we will go further
without you. What makes you think we need your support now? You were quick to
point out that we will lose in the beginning when we played Zamalek at Orlando Stadium.
You organised friendlies for the national team and called our players to your dismal
national team friendly game while we were preparing for the clash against
African giants.... to you Mr. Minister of Sports you allowed the national team
friendly to go ahead on the same day we were playing Zamalek and today you
talking patriotism and rallying the whole nation to back us… where was patriotism
when we played Zamalek?"
Anyway
we welcome the support of all South Africans when we face Al Ahly on Saturday
night at Orlando Stadium for one reason: "keep your enemies closer so as
to see agony in their faces as we are crowned champions of Africa for the second
time while they are still looking for the first.
