_quote Speaking to KickOff.com after the game, Phumo urged his players to produce the same performance in their next remaining League games in order to survive relegation from the First Division. "This was fantastic performance by my players. Whoever came to the stadium got their money's worth. We matched Chiefs pound for pound, especially in the second half. I think football was winner at the end of the day. "I have urged my players to keep their heads high and take the same performance to our remaining games in order to survive relegation."

.....while Chubuku and Sundflower fans are not sure whether they will be in the cup come Saturday nite we supporters of the BIGGEST TEAM in Africa are guaranteed of an easy passage to the Last 16. We will win even if our players are to play the match blindfolded.
HeeHeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Surely a team as big as chiefs did not need you Mr ref to see them through.Lucky Khune was offside. There was no penalty on LEWIS. I would be embarrassed if i was a Khosi Supporter.Lets hear what el proffesori has to say toninte.Up the bucs.
This team is average with their overrated coach n players.
Hawu kodwa niyathakatha emini kabha. hawu nifaka umuthi kubuka noma ubani. Did you really think you can beat chiefs with that muthi. Nxa sies man niyanginyanyisa. Psl was supposed to call all those players for doping test after the match to check if there was any illegal stimulates used to enhance your their performance.
I have to admit though that this season Pirates IYASHISA.
Its like u did n't say anything, Pirates has aways been like this.
u see, on Kroll issue, Pirates fans love Pirates more than they luv Kroll and Irvin hence when things are not going as per the brand standards, they will complain.
Now things are fine, we are fine as well unlike Chiefs blind supporters, they will support even if their team is average bellow their standards. Chiefs is dead and major change financially and otherwise.
He can't be both if he carries on as he is doing. . .!
We make Kaizer Chiefs, we can boycott stadiums when we don't see change. .we need our Kaizer Chiefs back, we need to start buying quality players instead of REJECTS!
