I sorry for followers who does not apply discernment and put their hope on Rivers against Pyramid either home or away. I’m not waiting for doom, neither am I wishing them ill but the truth is that Pyramids are miles ahead of other participants judging by present form talk-less of Nigerian representatives Rivers United. Fact that our media and coaches lies to themselves for over decade long, instead of seeking for solutions and structures put in place to help improve the league. All we see are unrealistic expectations from a circle of people that can’t play proper progressive football.
Mr George Finidi, who threw away 5 points out of 6, cos he took a job he was not prepared for.
It’s invaribale like someone who scored 1/6 , cos he sat for JAMB without first taking or passing WAEC.
