The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked President Buhari to stop punishing Nigerians. Kola Ologbondiyan, in his statement, also called on Buhari to solve the fuel challenge that is causing hardship for Nigerians.

We made a mistake, and they took it. Espanyol played a very good game tactically. The team who took their chances was much closer to winning such a tight game.” “I am more worried about the game between [third-placed] Valencia and [sixth-placed] Villarreal, for sure,” he replied. “I don’t know about…

James Milner believes Liverpool need to become a bit “more boring” after they shared the spoils from a 3-3 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. “I think when you’re in a position like that, at this level, you’ve got to see game out and we’ve got to become boring,” Milner, who replaced Jordan Henderson in the 11th minute, told Sky Sports after the final whistle. “Obviously, we were very good going forward, but there are just times in the game when you’ve got to tighten up and not make mistakes for five minutes. “All the goals were our fault…

I don’t know (over festive period). Michael Carrick,…
Jamie Vardy has revealed in his autobiography that Chris Smalling is his most difficult opponent and the Manchester United defender is determined to come out on top in their latest duel this Saturday. “Yes, he is [a threat],” Smalling told MUTV. “I enjoy my tussles with ‘Vards’. He is someone who is a bit of a nightmare for defenders because he is often ratting around and chasing with non-stop running.
