Match30 Dec 2030

Every point is an argument now for Wikki Tourists

Position 18 and 26 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.

The dugout30 Dec 2030

Emmanuel Jalai: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Wikki Tourists have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market30 Dec 2030

Baggio hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Wikki Tourists can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom30 Dec 2030

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Wikki Tourists

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad30 Dec 2030

Words at Wikki Tourists training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Emmanuel Jalai is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad30 Dec 2030

A falling-out at Wikki Tourists

Aliyu Mamuda and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market30 Dec 2030

The Abdullahi Mohammad story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Abdullahi Mohammad signs something — a contract at Wikki Tourists or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout30 Dec 2030

Ibrahim Eguavoen asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Boardroom30 Dec 2030

The Wikki Tourists academy earns its keep

42 graduates, from a department now rated 7 out of 20. Nothing about the academy appears in a result, and nothing about the club’s future exists without it.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad22 Apr 2030

A knee injury of the worst kind for Kabiru Abdullahi

71 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Wikki Tourists lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match20 Apr 2030

No end in sight to Wikki Tourists's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Wikki Tourists has to find a result from somewhere.

Market22 Apr 2030

Junior Aliyu hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Wikki Tourists can pretend not to have heard.

Squad22 Apr 2030

A one-man rearguard from Bamidele Adeniyi

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The dugout22 Apr 2030

Umar Lookman keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Wikki Tourists may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad22 Apr 2030

Words at Wikki Tourists training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Shuaibu Ibrahim is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match20 Apr 2030

Wikki Tourists come up short against Bendel Insurance

Bendel Insurance left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad22 Apr 2030

Olayinka Musa makes it 100

100 times in these colours, in all weathers and under four or five different managers. That kind of service is quietly disappearing from the game.

The dugout22 Apr 2030

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Jean-Luc Renard to a room that had heard them before.
