With the international break drawing near once again, we thought another edition of GRM Premier League would come in handy.

Last time out Margs managed to beat Jaik 7-5 in a close encounter, to put himself second in the table. GRM Daily

This week, Jaik faces Mr Bigz, who is a well-known Man Utd fanatic, also proving to be very vocal about his team on social media.

You may know him for his undeniable swag or finessing the ladies with his soulful feel on a track.

Taking this all in, we thought it would be good to catch up with the man himself and have a little chat about football.

 

How do you think Man Utd are doing so far this season?

I don’t think we’re doing that bad, we’ve obviously lost two and drawn a couple we should’ve won, but we’re cool. By Man Utd standards it’s not great, we shouldn’t be sitting behind Leicester, but top four is good to begin with. Van Gaal isn’t doing as bad as everyone is saying, but he’s a coward and is scared to drop Rooney – he’s not natural striker anymore. Depay is trying too hard and shegging it, plus Fellaini shouldn’t be playing more than once a month for Man Utd, I’m being serious.

 

What are your expectations for Man Utd this season?

Last 16 in the Champions League and top four in the Premier League. Arsenal and Man City will be in that top four with us but I don’t know about the other. I tell you what, West Ham are NOT a joke, they’re taking teams and dealing with them nicely, Payet is a problem.

 

Why did you choose Man Utd?

When I was growing up, there were only a few teams that had black players and they were Aston Villa, Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool. Paul Parker (the black Gary Neville) was my idol and he helped me support Man Utd – he was someone I could relate to. I’ve supported Man Utd since 1988, in the last years of Liverpool’s dominance, I’ve been on this ting since day. I’ve seen it all and been through it all.

 

Favourite Man Utd player of all-time?

Eric Cantona. He was so dope at football and such a goon. He got suspended, went to Barbados, an interviewer came up to him on the beach and he fly-kicked him – you can look it up. This guy was a genius but a nutter, and I loved that. For all time in general, anyone who knows football will tell you that they can’t answer that, its too hard.

 

Is there one game that sticks out for you in particular?

It has to be Man Utd 2-1 Bayern Munich back in 1999, any Man Utd fan who watched that will always say that. The way we won the treble, the way we turned that round, imagine watching that as it happened? Mad. Another big one for me was when Nigeria beat Spain 3-2 in the 1998 World Cup. I’m Nigerian, imagine how gassed I was?! That never happens.

 

If you could choose one footballer to collab with on a tune?

Eric Cantona, no doubt. That guy is a straight goon from Marseille, do I need to say any more? He doesn’t care, he will go and fly-kick a man and get on with his day. Cantona would go in with that hood rap, trust me. Oh yeah, Clint Dempsey too – who used to play for Fulham and Tottenham. I’ve seen videos of him rapping, he’s good you know.
