EPLwatch Week 18th


#ARSNEW
It was Oezil's stunner that returned gooners to winning ways. Newcastle couldn't redeem a point. 
Takehome: At trouble times, don't forget those rueful players once had individual brilliance that may shine anytime. We harness that.


#CHESOU
Marcos Alonso's 25 yard freekick was a generational marvel. It was a deftly arched freekick curled into the lowest angle of the post. A goalie, to save that, may end up with dislocation. Kante was also brilliant with some fundamental tackles.
TakeHome: Its a real team where a defender fires to victory when the attackers are having their fit of misfiring.


#MCITOT #cityvsspurs
Forth came the expected match of the weekend. Spurs couldn't deliver the dirty deed as the first half tough encounter churned out a barrage of goals in the concluding half. Guardiola is here doing it without a Messi but with erstwhile ill-used Sterling and incredible Sane doing the queer dribbles. It was a massive 4-1 victory and detractors were silenced at least for this weekend.
#Takehome: The secret of success is a little of every possible things, money to recruit resources, good managerial head to get the right resources, motivating talks to optimize performances, and prayers for a bit of luck when needed. 


#WBAMUN
Mourinho's guys survived a fright as their opponent fought back. As usual knight de Gea ensured the three points were delivered. Lukaku on scoresheet and chivalrous Lingard capped it. 
#TakeHome: Attack is always a best form of defence, if and only if, you are reasonable with it. 


#BORLIV
Think Liverpool. Think a swarm of bees. Think a pack of hyenas. It was a cease-less,  scintillating attack on display! It was a 0-4 victory. Is Sallah better than Hazard? The season will reveal.

'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
