September: Pirates taught us a lesson

SuperSport United skipper Thabo September says Orlando Pirates taught them a lesson last season

SuperSport United skipper Thabo September says Orlando Pirates taught them a lesson last season when they lost 2-1 in their League match and will be out to avoid the same mistake when they meet in the MTN8 semi-final later this month.

The teams face each other in the first-leg of the MTN8 semi-final next weekend and September says they will stay focused throughout the game and not concede a late goal like they did in the League loss to Pirates.

"Playing Pirates is tough, they are a good team and are the defending champions, they have quality players and taught us a lesson last season and are a 'never say die' kind of team," he says.

"So we have to make sure we concentrate the whole game. We got 180 minutes against them and we have to make sure we don't concede unnecessary goals and play as a team," he adds.

September believes that SuperSport will have a good season again following their success last year where they won the Nedbank Cup.

"It's good that we won that Cup (Nedbank) last season. We have started well again so we are looking forward to another decent season.

"The players believe that it's going to be a good season as long as we stick together and play like a team and if we do that then we should be very competitive," he adds.

Mr September FOUR 2012, why do you single out that game while in the first round we gave you THREE without any reply. This time we might make it FOUR, maybe you will stop making this noise and respect the Champions FOURever.

Maar Gents,

Lekgwathi must enter a Gorrilla Beauty Peagant, he is going to win First Princess.

Anyway back to Soccer...

September: please don't give Pirates the respect that they don't have. If you take a leaf out of Bloem Celtics book, you will only be robbed by the referee. Go out there and play Skop and Donner and score at the 92nd minute. That's the only formula for these Gayfair Gorrillas

FACT: Chiefs on TOP!!

It good to learn a lesson but take that will benefit you and your team. But I doubt you will get rite one from someone who's always winning cups using third force.

Gavin Hunt will my be witness on this one.

"BEST TEAMS" all over the world play and win Champions league. League title and Champions league are benchmarks of how best a team is, not plastic cups. In the last 20yrs you won only two league titles, while currently approaching a decade without league title. You have never in your entire existence made to even semis of champions league, let alone finals.

Best teams in Africa currently are those playing, making impact, and have won champions league. We know which team achieved the superbrand status along with proteas, springboks. We know which team had the highest attendance last season. SA has undergone different changes both politically and in sokka. Sokka played under different leagues but from 1985 onwards there was one league, with only few teams still outside, but ahead of our readmission to FIFA/CAF in the early 90s one league was formed. Based on league titles & under the league where all teams were participating , Fundowns has won many league titles than any other team, and on that basis should be the best team when looking under this period. However, currently , we all know which team is the best in RSA.

Why do we keep on referring to a RUSTED star that you've won more 15 years ago??? CAF even changed the Name of the competition, Do you remember the Mandela CUP?? My man, Pirates also went 10years without winning nothing you mongrol. Ask Gordon Igesund, he married his Daughter, and on Igesund Grandchild's 10th Birthday, that's when Pirates won Silverware.

Am I getting warmer...??? Sit the Fvck down man!!!

@ Makwera KhosiFOURed

It would have been better if you had said KC will bring Pirates down but you seem unsure of that hence you hope that other teams will do it FOUR you. As always are you going to be SS-Kaizer Chiefs this weekend, then Sundownschiefs, then Swallows Chiefs, etc?
