As supporters of the best league in the world, let's commit to attend more football matches this season. The challenge is once again to attend at the very least 10 PSL games. Let us share our stadium experience and our journey to 10 games (and beyond) throughout the season...

Never forget that Fani Madida scored 50 goals for Kaizer Chiefs in 18 months before he was released to join Besiktas in Turkey in June 1992. - 34 goals in the 1991 season - 16 goals in half a season in 1992. A legend!

This is Manchester City's 22 man squad. Two players per position. A 3rd goalkeeper will be added and probably two PL2 players promoted to make the 25 man squad. This squad will play a minimum 46 games. In the PSL, where average games are less than 40, teams have squads of 35-40.

Hugo Broos is at an age where he doesn't care if he gets fired. He won AFCON with Cameroon despite some of their biggest stars pulling out just before the squad announcement. He didn't hold back when condemning the players. We value club allegiances more than Bafana. He doesn't.

Pirates surprised Sundowns by playing Timm as a lone pivot and pushing Mosele higher up, thus ensuring Ndlondlo was not isolated when he pressed Jali out of the game. Being so high allowed Ndlondlo to play passes behind the Downs defence. I don't like what's unfolding at Pirates
