Though not theoretically but realistically EB is out of the championship race. A draw in the derby and a BFC win would put MB under immense pressure. If EB wins the derby even then it's s uphill task for the current EB team to make anything out of it. With all his follies Bishwajit was correct in asking for Orok Essien, a big strong young Nigerian upfront along with Martins.
Maddening atmosphere in Siliguri about the derby. 5000 tickets got sold in little less than 2 hours yesterday from the counters. Police had to be deployed to prevent any violence or stampede. Expect a chock-a-block Kanchenjunga Stadium heaving of 25000+ people. Bus and train loads of fans arriving from Kolkata and other districts as well. Wish the stadium had a capacity of 50K.
Again I think it will be 2 groups of 4 teams playing every alternate day in a specific location decided by Ten Action. I wonder when AIFF plans something their Officials must be intoxicated, otherwise plans can't change so many times.
