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.

Brentford Beat Blundering Gunner Two Goal To Nil

  The start of EPL came with Arteta still unable to  fumble out of his not-too-convincing career in Arsenal. Brentford came roaring from relegation to beat Arsenal who dream of getting to top four this season. But like their pre-season, a miscarriage of dreams, they fell a goal behind to Brentford through Canos super strike. From that moment forward, Brentford became the Bully, created more chances and Arsenal passed sideways as if the goal post was at the corner flag. Anyways, White white-out on the field, the presence of 50 million bargain wasn't felt. Mari was too casual for a defender. Tierney will soon burn out. Chambers tried his chambers-efforts. Upfront Balogun was starved of direct passes. Pepe will never pepper any defender except when he is in luck. The dude cannot be consistent except he sees a man-manager. Smith is a ball-smith but combined with Xhaka sideways and momentary slip & sleep off, Smith Rowe just rowing to a fruitless breeze. Martinelli needs to man...

Lampard Outclassed the Master: Chelsea dealt Spurs two goals to Nil

Chelsea took the bulling Spurs by the horns: no cautiousness but direct attack. Mourinho was defeated. Chelsea guys didnt come with a respect for the master but they were all brimming to establish dominance which they did. Rudiger was a no-nonsense man, manning the defense. Zouma still un-fooballer-like but always decent.Tomori, your model footballer, tidy through the game. Kovacic was silent but stringing passes. Kante was a beast that made me imagined a combo of him with a De Bruyne in a midfield will be almost unbeatable. While Abraham and Mount were decent, William was the Marshall that Spurs couldnt handle. His every touch weakened the Spurs defense. He got the first goal and converted the other.  The game was all blue and Spurs were all kung-fu fighting. Son got a red card. The goalie a yellow.  Welcome back to Premier League, Mourinho. --toonday  

DECLUTTERING AND DEATH CLEANING:THE LIVING AND THE KINDNESS IN OUR DYING

Living is a quadratic equation with a pre-determined answer (death) yet we keep trying to solve the equation. Year 2017 gave a fair share of answers to many lives. From international, national, to local personalities, lives were lost. To us, at first it appeared a distant reality until someone close to us succumbed to that harsh reality. To the young, it's a distant rumor. To the old, constant topic heavily brooded. If living is an act of dying, how can we then be gracious in dying? I came across this term: death cleaning and alas it's the much needed answer. How we can shroud in our living (dying) the preparatory kindness that can live after us and make neighbors happy?  Every breathing being will one day taste death.  No amount of science, or achievement, or bitterness or super-humanness can change that. If so, won't we live in all preparation for the constant exit? Death cleaning is a Swedish term that describes a conscious and deliberate preparation for death...
