The terraces1 Feb 2038

The mood at Wikki Tourists has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

A fracture rules Chukwueze Iheanacho out for 31 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Wikki Tourists will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

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

7 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.

Squad1 Feb 2038

11 seasons of Denis Voychenko

116 appearances across 11 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Wikki Tourists know what they have.

Mohammed Faisal 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 Wikki Tourists this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match30 Jan 2038

A bad afternoon for Wikki Tourists against Warri Wolves

0‑2 to Warri Wolves, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad1 Feb 2038

The manager makes an example of Adamu Duguri

“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.

Nobody could get near David Dennis

Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings1 Feb 2038

Chukwuma Ogu could not find anything

5.66. Every footballer has these and most of them happen away from a full ground; his did not, and he will be aware of that all week.

Akinkunmi Iwobi damages knee ligaments — 44 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 44 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Aminu Aribo 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 The request is on a desk at Wikki Tourists, and it is not being withdrawn.

Simon Iwobi has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Wikki Tourists they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom5 Jan 2037

Graduation day at Wikki Tourists

8 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Simon Ogunjobi steps up from the Wikki Tourists academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Simon Ogunjobi has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Shehu Okocha steps up from the Wikki Tourists academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Shehu Okocha has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Chijioke Ekpemadu shuts the door

Defensive actions: 18, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.
