The Bendel Insurance Post

23 Apr 2035
From our football correspondent Crisis

Match18 Apr 2035

The small margins put Bendel Insurance out

Out, 0‑2 to Remo Stars, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Squad23 Apr 2035

Emmanuel Ofori stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

The dugout23 Apr 2035

Wilfred Eze says Bendel Insurance went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad23 Apr 2035

A row about effort at Bendel Insurance

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

Match21 Apr 2035

Niger Tornadoes take the points off Bendel Insurance

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad23 Apr 2035

Desmond Udoka 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 Bendel Insurance this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings23 Apr 2035

Nobody could get near Wilfred Eze

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout23 Apr 2035

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 1‑2 Chukwuma Abacha left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout23 Apr 2035

Chinedu Awaziem gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The Bendel Insurance Post

22 May 2034
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market22 May 2034

Alex Oweilayefa has one foot out of the door

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

Match20 May 2034

7 matches without a win for Bendel Insurance

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Bendel Insurance are no longer polite ones.

The dugout22 May 2034

Wilfred Eze: 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.” Bendel Insurance have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad22 May 2034

Words exchanged at Bendel Insurance

Yusuf Mannase and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout22 May 2034

Ibrahim Alhassan frozen out at Bendel Insurance

This is not rotation. Ibrahim Alhassan has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Bendel Insurance is pretending otherwise.

Player ratings22 May 2034

Nobody could get near Yusuf Mannase

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad22 May 2034

Words at Bendel Insurance training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Michael Akinola 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.

The dugout22 May 2034

No hiding place for Emmanuel Ofori

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

Match22 May 2034

Bendel Insurance at the halfway mark

Half the programme played, position 19, 11 on the board. Doubling it is the sum every supporter has done and the only one nobody at the club will do out loud.
