EPLwatch Week 16th

#WHUCHE

The weekend started on eerie atmosphere as WestHam stifled Chelsea to 5th minute-lone-goal defeat. Hazard was de-tox, Morata was choked, Super Kante was clobbered as Bakayoko wandered hopelessly. Conte's animated sideline antics couldn't salvage a draw. Chelsea the defending champ lost to the worst team of the league.

#TakeHome: No test is small. Being a test means there's a percentage of failure.

#SOTARS

Arsenal also were almost subjected to chelsea's fate but Giroud came off bench for restitution. It ended a 1-1 stalemate as Giroud cancelled out one of the christmas bonuses arsenal has recently been doling out to their smart opponent ( last week 2 goals as gift to ManUtd).

#TakeHome: Any fault any flaw, like Arsenal's cheap goal give-away, should be quickly addressed or else it becomes a repeated flaw. Hence a habit.

#LIVEVE

Liverpool couldn't continue that winning spree. Sallah has become an every weekend sensation. He wiggles through hapless defenders like an Egyptian snake.

#TakeHome: Every member of a team has a role to play in the team success. A single Sallah's brilliance may not shoot the team to success always.

#MUNMCI

In Manchester, this weekend, was pulsating. Two bulls clashed in a powerful derby. The blue bull and the red bull as Guardiola and Mourinho met in an epic clash. It was titanic as DE Gea was finally outwitted. The Manchester sky shone brighter blue and the red blood coursing under the skin constricted to a shock defeat. Manchester is blue, Guardiola is a tactician becoming smarter( knowing now when to defend), Mourinho's unperturbed, Sterling is a better and a more intelligent player now.

#TakeHome: For Guardiola to defend, smartness behooves a warrior to know when to retreat.

#TOTSTO

Spur clobbered stoke to a shocking 5-1 defeat, Kane on a double, is a worthy mention of the weekend.

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...
