Insurance are definitely. Hopping they prove me wrong!
Good start for the Edo Arsenals.I really thought they had addressed this issue of not scoring goals. Insurance, you just can’t depend on imade week in week out. I said it the last time, It’s rather late now, get another quality striker to back up imade.Good luck as you travel to Algeria. Be careful, Aso Chelf are very dangerous at home.
Dem no be arsenals again. Dem don go relegation.
Just dey call dem Insurance of Benin.
Same old goal scoring problems, the Aso Chlef I watched will use referee to finish the opportunities that Insurance missed in the first leg. Let’s just be waiting to see the excuses roll in….. I just hope Remo stars will be ready for war in cape coast today because Medeama of Ghana is preparing for war against them according to news online since they’re a Nigerian club and not Guinea or whatever that they allow to roll over them. Naija teams should know that no excuses will be accepted by fans if they don’t perform again this year.
