EPL Watch 12th week

#ARSTOT
The most anticipated London derby:
Weary of the 11th week loss against the smoky Man City, Gunners and fans were in pre-match 'sutana' praying fervently for victory and feverishly afeared of untoward results against a  London rival who earned their champion league position last season. Wenger fielded all his artilleries and Spur fell. Spur Sanchez could not stop super  Sanchez from scoring. Ramsey marauding as usual. Ozil's assist. Mustafi's got a goal. Cech saved the day. A fortunate 2-nil victory with a convincing performance.

#TakeHome: Last week failure shouldn't affect today's performance. Rather than making you jittery it should be a determination for redress. 


#LEIMCI
Humble Guardiola had played down the invincibility of the Citizen but they tore resilient Leicester apart. It was almost a punch for a punch until Guardiola's trademark 'tiki-taka' rended Leicester's defence apart. De Bruyne's rocket shot was astonishing. Gab Jesus always has a way of being a perfect poacher. Sane with his insane incision. 

#TakeHome: Hubris is the pride that heralds a downfall. At peak of any success one should never be too proud, with the cognizance that no condition is ever permanent. Guardiola is riding his humility till it lasts.

 
#MANNEW
MAN UTD has a pogba back and their onions back. It was a blistering defeat. Fast pace. Intelligent Martial dazzled and courageous Smalling is becoming a revelation. Pogback on scoreline.  Lukaku finally scored.

#TakeHome: there are many a time when an individual may not be properly appreciated until they are unavoidably absent. Then, the vacuum they leave will show the measure of their importance. How important is Pogba? Mourinho knows better.


#WBACHE
Conte is a tough man axing David Luiz last week against MAN UTD yet secured his victory. He's a principled man. This week, Hazard was like  a blizzard that couldn't be stopped. Morata is simply a football con man: subtly intelligent and evasively creative. Bakayoko was just too wasteful. 

#TakeHome: If a member of your team threatens the whole, kindly note not matter how seemingly important, he should never be prioritized over team harmony. Conte and Luiz saga. 


#LIVSOU
Liverpool attacked, like their custom, in hyena-like park. Sensational Sallah routed opponents' defence. Klopp's happy. Sallah's amazing goal can make Sallah every weekend and every weekend a Sallah.

'Ise kekere, owo n la' Less Work: More pay

Actually, that idiomatic expression as often employed in our prayers " Ise kekere, owo nla" can be understood from different perspectives. This is not to decry our elders. They have given varieties of proverbs to suit needs and moments beyond what a motivational book can condensedly give. 'Ai'ni arojinle ni mu iyawo pe oko re ni were nitori pe omo re omo were ni, oun gan fun rare iyawo were ( It's only a lack deep reflection that will make a wife call her husband a mad man because as such her child is the child of a mad man and she is a wife of a mad man). The focal point is the effect this idiomatic prayer has wrought on our social mentality like the musical cliche that has also turned into another idiomatic expression: " Mi o lè wa ku, mo ti gbiyan ju, Moti se iwon ti mo lè se, alubarika alubarika nikoko" ( I can't over-exert myself.  I have given it my best shot. God's blessing is significant). That rendition always lowers determinat

True True Mark of a Champion: Both Liverpool and Manchester City Came from behind to Claim Maximum Points in their Matches

 Klopp called his boys mentality monsters and of course they are. Coming from behind three times in a week to secure victory was massive. Aston Villa got the first goal and they intended to sit on it. They pushed and held forth till like 80 minutes into the game when Robertson equalised and Mane got the most dramatic winner at the tick-tock of the last minute. They are the king of comebacks. No one does it better than Klopp guys. #AVLLIV On #MCISOU James Ward Prowse tucked a rebound from Stuart Armstrong strike to put Sothampton ahead. City heaved and puffed before they could get an equaliser. Until Kyle Walker secured a goal and later assisted Aguero for the winner. Kyle Walker, the savior. Guardiola would love to be ahead but Klopp this time would not be willing to relinquish such lead. It unfolds we follow sha! --toonday 

A Father Nonetheless

A father should be a hero: gallant, and valiant. That's relatively the social expectation of a father figure. For such structure, fatherhood extends beyond sperming an ovum.  That's our expectations. Failure on these expectations sees the society questioning the father of his moral claim on the child.  For a mother, there is the unmatchable and unquestionable nine-month sacrifice that any amount of post-birth mishap or misnomer could not erase. The pain a mother passes through during birth is beyond any bearable decibel.  Therefore the baggage of expectation is often much on the father, as the mother's nature-induced pain has compensated for anything. When a father fails, the society and the child complain. But, should that mindset be coming from the child without considering other factors? Many a father nowadays desires to be a role model but the gnawing environment saps their realities to pitiable shambles. No excuse for them though but time is hars
