  26. I do not understand those people who think that this is a bad squad. This is the same squad that won the Super League, so why nagging about Chipuwa/Kaonga? Believe you me good people, this squad is very good and will produce massive results that will make the nation smile and proud. Forget about Chipuwa or Kaonga, these men are going out to fight and I am optimistic that as Malawi’s flag carriers, they will make it. The Bankers and Noma have a right to decide where to sell their players, so relax and see what happens. My God bless BB!

  77. A Chandiona, musalilire ma players a ma team ena. This is not national team, its club football. When Bullets was joining the competition, they were counting on the players who won the Super League not those from Silver or Wanderers. Muzilemba zinthu zanzeru osamagodanana ndi ma team ena. Bullets imenye ndi omwewo basi.
