Stoichkov has been charged with misconduct relating to abusive and insulting language hurled at the match commissioner following the Absa Premiership match between Mamelodi Sundowns and Moroka Swallows on 19 February 2010 at Super Stadium.

Stoichkov also slid his finger across his throat in a manner that suggested that he would want to slit the match commissioner’s throat.

Kick-off is at 15h30.

Pirates may have lost midweek, but the boys are quietly confident they can pull of a positive result against Amakhosi; so says midfielder Andile Jali, who is hoping to play a crucial role in the game.

Said Jali: “We are very disappointed with our defeat at the hands of Maritzburg United on Wednesday, but it’s not the end of the world. We fought very hard to win the match, most particularly in the second half, but it wasn’t to be.

1. To date, what has been your proudest moment in soccer? "My proudest moments would probbably be winning the Absa Cup and most recently the Telkom Knockout."

Zwane made 244 appearances for the Glamour Boys since making his debut against Bidvest Wits on 22 July 2000. He won many trophies at Chiefs, including the Mandela Cup (now CAF Confederations Cup) and the back-toback league titles in 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 seasons are the highlights.

"It has been an honour for me to don the gold and black jersey from day one," said Zwane. "I am grateful for the support I received from the management, the fans, and the former and current players including coaches.

The Arsenal coach said that fans "did not get a demonstration of football" and claimed that Chelsea had "a lot of tricks" and used their experience to commit a sequence of subtle fouls.

In true honest German fashion, Ballack said that Arsenal are easy to beat because they are predictable and he believes his team and the other title challengers Manchester United will always have an upper hand over the Gunners.

Mbuyane, who was stretchered off the park in the 53rd minute after receiving a knock on the head from Wits goalkeeper Darren Keet, said although he has no memory of the incident he feels perfectly fine:

“I don’t know what really happened,” said a visibly dazed Mbuyane. “All I remember was attacking the ball in the air to try and get to the end of Terminator’s (Dikgang Mabalane) cross. The next thing I was on the ground surrounded by members of the medical team.”

He added: “Thank God I’m fine now and it wasn’t too serious."

The team started with a gym session at the Gateway Mall's Virgin Active in the morning and continued in the afternoon in a closed training session at Absa Stadium.

There’s no man hungrier than the Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder, who sacrificed a pro career in English leagues and moved to South Africa to catch the eye of the national selectors.

“I’m hopeful that I will get a chance to play in one of the games, so that I can try and establish myself for a call up again and to try and give options in future for the selectors,” said Matty Patty.
