My people, e be like say Manchester City women dey ready to grab dia first WSL title in ten years! Dem dey shine like diamond now, nine points clear for top of the table with just nine games left.
Dis weekend, dem get chance to stretch dia lead to twelve points if dem fit beat defending champions. Last season, na twelve points wey carry dem win di league, so dem dey on di right track. With no European competition to distract dem, dis one don give dem better room to focus on di WSL.
City don spend plenty for transfer market, wey help turn dia luck around. Na so dem sack di old coach, Gareth Taylor, and replace am with Andrée Jeglertz. Dis new coach don bring fresh ideas and better mentality to di team. Dem dey play sharper and dey enjoy di game pass before.
Since dem lose to Chelsea for dia opening game, dem don dey unbeaten for di league, don gather six points from three top-four rivals. E mean say dem dey ready to put trophy for dia shelf again.
Ogbonge emphasis na on di squad depth, as last year dem suffer injury wahala well well. Dis time, dem bring in new players wey fit boost di team, and dem don already feel di impact. Even when some key players dey out, di replacements dey do di work well.
Dem don even renew contracts for some talented players, and dem fit still sign di prolific striker, Shaw, wey get mouth-watering goals. E go be bad news if dem lose am, but contract talks dey go well now.
For dis season, dem sabi say di league no dey last forever. Dem dey play more consistent football, learning from past mistakes when dem dey sluggish for di beginning of di season. Dis time, dem don start strong and want maintain dia form to clinch di title.
The coming two weeks go show if dem fit handle di pressure well. Avoiding defeat against Chelsea and Arsenal fit secure dem a comfortable gap for di remaining matches. City still get fixtures against United and other teams wey go tough dem up. So, na dem be di real deal for dis season.
