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.

'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
