EPLwatch 24th week


#BHACHE
This beautiful week started with a beautiful football from Conte's guys in the absence of their suspended top striker, Alvaro Morata. The first aplomb came from a stunning Hazard's strike, but the second would make the weekend of the fans: a fluid, awesome exchange from Hazard to Bastuayi back to Willian who feathered it into the unsuspecting opponent's net.
#TakeHome: Chelsea first win in 2018? Keep plugging away, victory is sure to come.

#ARSCRY
As Harry West put it in his headline on goal.com, "early blitz means that Sanchez is hardly missed" but we need to remember that Arsenal overtime has a way of surprising when you hardly expect especially after they have lost out on every front. Like the fire of a lighter, Arsenal's spirit dies quicker and harmlessly. The match was a quick routing, surprisingly concluded in the first half
#TakeHome: a flurry of successes might be needed to build a character not fluttering performance. 


#BUNMUN
Turf Moor couldn't have been tougher, as MAN UTD escaped burns from burning Burnley. Martial would made the fans day with the tricking stunner as he "body-witted" the defender and goal keeper to another side of the post while he shot against top-inner rail for the only goal of the game.
#TakeHome: when you get to a level where everyone there is good, you need to steadily perform to shine. 


#MCINEW
All eyez on City, as people expected a descent to human level, but Guardiola seemed too good to allow such redundancy fester. That man has stepped into English league boldly yet doing it better than what detractors prophesied. Alas, without a Messi. 
Recovering from the brunt of Liverpool big statement last weekend, city's Aguero got a mouth-watering hattrick. Leroy Sane with a superhuman, alien assist: that guy dribbles unusual like Riera, surprisingly combative like Ngolo Kante, counters  like Mahrez, and preempts opportunities like Morata. 
#TakeHome: at a point everyone falls, but a champion rises taller after each fall.


Signoff:
Every weekend's momentum will be gargantuan as the competition is stiff but Guardiola seems to be that super-brilliant kid in your class that always knows the answers. 
Will he last? Only time can tell...

'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...

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 ha...

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
