What have they been eating after winning FA cup? After a generous supporter awarded them $20k for winning the trophy they seem to have let down eveything. Let down their guard. Worries. They seem to have deteriorated very rapidly as players. Against New Radiant to lose by 2-1 is ok you cant complain, they are formidable opponents but how is it possible to lose by 4-1 to Eagles. Saanti team is nowhere near the mighty maziya in resources and experience. What was the famous Suzain telling his players before the match? I have gone bald pulling my hairs.

May be the hadhiya from the well wisher was boogal after all disguised as present. May be thats why they never set a foot right after that, losing back to back.

Maziya's heads were probably still up in cloud 9. But still a great result for the young Eagles players. It would be quite something if 3 different clubs won the domestic trophies.
