Saturday cover: Tall order for Al Jazira as Kenwyne Jones and Angel Lafita make debuts



Kenwyne Jones muscles his way onto The National Sport front page on Saturday, January 9 after making his Al Jazira debut in the draw against Al Wasl.

Jones, 31, signed for Jazira from Cardiff City as a short-term replacement for the injured Mirko Vucinic, while fellow new signing Angel Lafita also made his debut.

Neither Jones nor Lafita found the scoresheet in the 2-2 draw but the result will encourage new Jazira manager Henk Ten Cate, who took over from Abel Braga with the club lying 10th in the Arabian Gulf League table.

So what is Spicy Chickenjoy?

Just as McDonald’s has the Big Mac, Jollibee has Spicy Chickenjoy – a piece of fried chicken that’s crispy and spicy on the outside and comes with a side of spaghetti, all covered in tomato sauce and topped with sausage slices and ground beef. It sounds like a recipe that a child would come up with, but perhaps that’s the point – a flavourbomb combination of cheap comfort foods. Chickenjoy is Jollibee’s best-selling product in every country in which it has a presence.
