Match23 Nov 2030

12 matches without a win for Aigle Royal de la Menoua

The run now stands at 12, and the questions being asked around Aigle Royal de la Menoua are no longer polite ones.

Match25 Nov 2030

Every point is an argument now for Aigle Royal de la Menoua

Position 13 and 7 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Squad25 Nov 2030

Ulrich Lobé in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Aigle Royal de la Menoua this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad25 Nov 2030

A row about effort at Aigle Royal de la Menoua

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Wolo Leblanc Touré was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match23 Nov 2030

Honours even between Aigle Royal de la Menoua and Aigle Royal de Moungo

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout25 Nov 2030

The manager makes an example of Junior Kuidjeu

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout25 Nov 2030

Half-satisfied: Ufuk Karaman on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Looking ahead25 Nov 2030

The leaders are next for Aigle Royal de la Menoua

Colombe du Dja et Lobo top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.

Market25 Nov 2030

Wolo Leblanc Touré runs his contract down

2 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Aigle Royal de la Menoua money.

The terraces7 Oct 2030

Supporters organise against the Aigle Royal de la Menoua board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Match2 Oct 2030

The small margins put Aigle Royal de la Menoua out

Out, 1‑1 to Fortuna Mfou, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Player ratings7 Oct 2030

Seini Hamit beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 33. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market7 Oct 2030

Only the photograph left for Khaled Awad

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Khaled Awad will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Aigle Royal de la Menoua the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market7 Oct 2030

Armel Ndong Nze puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Aigle Royal de la Menoua, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad7 Oct 2030

Michel Bekale is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Michel Bekale: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match5 Oct 2030

No end in sight to Aigle Royal de la Menoua's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Aigle Royal de la Menoua has to find a result from somewhere.

Boardroom7 Oct 2030

Khaled Awad signs for Colombe du Dja et Lobo while still at Aigle Royal de la Menoua

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Khaled Awad has agreed terms with Colombe du Dja et Lobo for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad7 Oct 2030

Rodrigue Ele signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Rodrigue Ele commits to Aigle Royal de la Menoua for another 2 years.

Market30 Sep 2030

Joseph Mbock is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Aigle Royal de la Menoua is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad30 Sep 2030

Yann Ntomba in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Aigle Royal de la Menoua this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad30 Sep 2030

A row about effort at Aigle Royal de la Menoua

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Wolo Leblanc Touré was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match28 Sep 2030

Aigle Royal de la Menoua come up short against PWD Bamenda

PWD Bamenda left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout30 Sep 2030

No hiding place for Junior Kuidjeu

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Junior Kuidjeu, and the manager let it.

The dugout30 Sep 2030

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 Ufuk Karaman left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout30 Sep 2030

A promise honoured at Aigle Royal de la Menoua

Something was said to Jovani Epoh and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout30 Sep 2030

Ulrich Lobé is playing like a man with something to prove

The oldest phenomenon in the sport: a new voice in the dressing room and suddenly everybody is available for everything. Ulrich Lobé is training as though the last team sheet never existed, because as far as he is concerned it does not.

Market30 Sep 2030

No place for Michel Bekale in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Michel Bekale has his answer from Aigle Royal de la Menoua; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
