Congratulations to Iwobi, Bassey and Fulham.
Ajax thought Bassey was their problem but since Bassey left, they have been sinking.
Thumbs up brotherman. Iwobi Shinobi is a top player. Ajax will soon start blaming Chuba Akpom for their woes.
Ajax have started blaming Akpom already. If is wise he should leave that club with immediate alacrity
Ignatius Ignition, you are right. Iwobinho all the way.
Great to see IWOBI WAN KENOBI on the scoresheet. May this be the first of many.
