[standings league_id=1]
interesting league standings.
don’t write off arrows for the league title.
baleisa…….
Interesting headline!!!
It is very misleading. Its as though ZESCO unexpectedly won the match.
power 90, team ya chalo
I don’t know which local Zambian team Jay Jay supports…. or maybe he has no interest since its run by his number-one opposition FAZ.
Nkana’s perfomance not that good, they may end up on number 5. pull up your socks guys
What a headlin LT
do u read what u write pathetic jonulism
Your spelling of journalism is pathetic too.
Iwe Kapoli what is ‘jonulism’?
…ba LT…no need to edit the title after comments have been made…it will confuse new readers….you should either have left it as it was or remove the page completely
Let Zesco win the league, they once represented US well in decAF champions league, unlike Zanaco, Power and Arrows (ENYIMBA 6-1 and even lost to a Swaziland team). Stylish Roan, keep it up, top 5 finish this year.
what do you mean bwana?
stop the league games and award zesco the title on a silver plate.
come on man, let them earn it by winning the league.
ba ROAN mulimbelele sana ati let zesco blablabla its about competing and not letting makaka aba red is the team which is competing favourably and will be crowned the champ.
Ba lt please make some corrections.firstly stanely banda left arrows for lcc just b4 the start of season and then arrows have 33 points and not 30.
Mr Kwa kanyama which league are you checking?
Aba Red fans too overzealous! Nkana won’t win the league but will perform better this season!
Wats happening to Ndola clubs, Forest Poachers and Lime Cold Spurs?? They cant be motivated by the nice Levy stadium plus a well planned Ndola City??? They need a whipping in police cells, ataa!!
Mr wisdom its the zambian super league of course.stanely nshimbi is the one who was among the scorers for arrows and not stanely banda.ba s banda tuleteya nabena division one football.as for points,read the article carefully and you will notice that ba lt made a mistake.how can arrows be on 30 points when the article says the point difference between nkana and arrows is 3 points.nkana is on 36 points one behind zesco utd.i repeat arrows are on 33 points togather with brave nchanga rangers.
