EPLWATCH 19th week

#ARSLIV

In an exciting encounter, a better Liverpool attacks were shadowed by their woeful defence as Arsenal's lucky flashes of brilliance equalled the scoreline. Sallah lived large like an Egyptian god as he wiggled freely. Sanchez, though below par, got a goal. Xhaka reminded us his shooting grace but his woeful defence was a concern.

TakeHome: A team's character ain't completed until her shoulder can bear the burden of relentless attack that she subjects her opponents to. Klopp should note!

‎#EVECHE

It was a bleak afternoon for Conte's guys. A sterile performance as the false nine strategy produced no goal. Everton almost punished them with Pickford keeping Chelsea out.

TakeHome: Being a champion is difficult and what is more difficult is staying a champion. Conte will definitely tell you that it's gruelling.

‎#MCIBOR

The citizens' winning stretches to 17 games. Aguero was back to his leading role as David Silva dictated tunes and Sterling tutored the dance moves to a defeated but organised Bournemouth who succumbed to 4-0 loss. Guardiola has the rudder of premier league's ship. It's for him to lose.

TakeHome: A champion takes each battle seriously as greatness is steep and easy to fall from.

#LEIMUN

Mata was set to be an unusual hero in this encounter before Maguire pulled back a dramatic equalizer for Leicester. 10-man Leicester drew the special one's squad.

TakeHome: Every minute counts in an encounter as the disadvantaged side can ride a moment of brilliance to upturn the game.

'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
