This gonna be mission accomplish for ekong, some member here condemn his move to the English lower league last year.
Congratulations broda man Ekong. Your hard work/ focus is reaping it’s deserved fruit of recognition. A big big thumbs up.
There’s a mix up here….
How can somebody sit on the bench “BENCH WARMER” and win MOTM???
It’s either WATFORD hierachy is lieing or our aficionados are the ones lieing….
One of them must be lieing to us…
Sir are u ok? This man played 90 mins on Friday and was awarded man of the match….you can do ur own research too before calling people liars..m
@footballfanatic you didn’t get the drift haha..He was referring to those who said Ekong only warms the bench at Watford.They talk down his performances yet Ekong keeps churning out copiously impressive shifts!
A “championship bench warmer” who gets nominated for MOTM award almost every month even as a central defender must be a really special bench warmer…..LMAO.
Can’t you see how his haters have lost their voices of late. They cannot even come out of their caves anymore……LMAO. They can’t even bear their shame anymore and chose to comment with other people’s identities…. LMAO
He’s been solid for Watford. I hope they get promoted and I hope fulham survived relegation so we could have more Nigerians in the EPL. kudos to Victor osimhen who scored today against crotone with simmy Nwankwo getting a brace
Oh boy u drink kai? U dey hear bfor wey person win man of the match without touching Ball?
They even said Ajayi is better than him and that he should be replaced in the starting line up by Ajayi.The earlier they all come to apologise to Rohr and all true se fan the better for them, cos what elders see sitting down not even omo9ja on mount Kilimajaro will see it.
Niger here we go……
Ohhh ok I’m sorry @UBFE I didn’t know lol
