FULL NEDBANK CUP QUARTER-FINAL DRAW HERE
“They’re two very different teams but I think they can be as difficult as each other. This cup has shown over the years how the lower [league] teams perform – you can never take them lightly,” Grobler says.
“We know Maritzburg well and we’ve always had tough games against them. We know it’s not going to be easy. It’s a cup game and at the end of the day you need to go through every one to win.”
With SuperSport overcoming Cape side Vasco da Gama 2-1 in their last 16 encounter, Grobler is confident that Matsatsantsa have what it takes to defend their title despite their hectic fixture schedule, which includes a Confederation Cup match at home against Petro Atletico on April 5-7.
“We’ve got a good squad. We’ve got a lot of games coming up at the moment – Confed, Nedbank Cup and the League – but I think we’ve got a good team with a lot of depth. I think that’s going to help us to get through this.
“And yeah, we want to win this cup. This trophy belongs to SuperSport – we want to keep it,” the Benoni-born striker adds.
Despite not having home ground advantage for the quarter-final, Grobler rates his team’s chances.
“Funny enough the coach [Gavin Hunt] said to me the other day that SuperSport have always travelled better than when at home. I think in South Africa it doesn’t make too much of a difference, when you play away in Europe you get full stadiums and it makes a big difference – not so much in SA.
“We’ve got to go there, it’s not easy but we can go there and win.”

Haibo, nangu umuntu bo! That Queen 2TheChimps is Squeeza's hoochie, who according to him is his gf. She finally took her supposed iMac or Apple laptop from him and now sh'e blogging; why do think he's no commented all day? Hahahaha! Clearly Squeeza is a ugly specimen wherever he is. I mean, how do you explain your own gf calling other men \"cute.\" Phefeni aka \"they know I'm handsome\" Boy, can you please bear witness? Ki ki ki ki ki!
That's hoochie tendencies topped up with monkey stunts...

@Queen 2the chiefs
Thanks for clarifying what we've always said; there are NO handsome people in the form of Gayzer Chimps players or their bloggers in the form of Phefeni Boy, Gucci Man, Squeeza, Mosixty and etc. That's why when some of us HANDSOME Bucs supporters were sitting with our wives and girlfriends at home watching the premier of \"Think Like a Man\" on M-Net last night, bona they were busy ko DickOff!
Izishimane to the highest order. Queen 2the chiefs, don't apologise to Khosi Soldier. I hear mubi ngazathi udla amafinyela. Ki ki ki ki!!! Only umuntu omubi can have that kind of jealousy. Or kanjani ladies :-) Hahhahahahahahaha...........
@Fellow Bucs: "Maminzela always talks about Jali/Manyisa i don't go around attacking her,she is right those two are handsome\", says Queen 2the chiefs!
I don't Phefeni will be proud of that! Hahahaha! Wait for the insults ladies bamakhosikazi. They won't be please with you along with Goldilight debating about who's hotter than who at the Bucs camp. But judging by your comments, I've sussed you girls out. I mean, why bother about Kaizer Jr. coz according to you, "He's so sensitive. I want sunscreen on me first, not a boy.\" And oh, "I now know why Josta likes wearing silky undies. It turned out it was stolen panties from Woolworths. Uyothini kodwa ubaba umangiletha umuntu onje ekhaya\" said Golidilight!
We may not see them, but clearly Chimps bloggers babi. No wonder they try to cover up with fake Gucci Sweaters like the late Zombo; the clothes make them, they don't make the clothes.
Fact: Chimps girly supporters said so!!!
Up The Bucs...
Izintombi ze Chiefs ziyalunywa ukuba single. They now want some Ghost spirit! Hahahaha! Let us post our faces khona sizobathathela izintombi, bona bayo sala nawe DickOff; aka Phefeni and Squeeza's first and only love of life! Tl tl tl tl tl.
@ Matt i was not talking about bloggers that i dont know how they look,wena now u adding abo Dladla and Junior,i give credit where its due,Majoro is the most handsome of all the black PSL player(my opinion) even Sowetan rated him as one of the hottest in the AFCON,also following is (in my list)Parker,Khune and Bongani Zungu of Tuks,none of the Pirates players and bloggers would be in the top 10
Im no Pirates and never will be Matt,im a Glamour Girl for life
