Burnley nearly Burnt Arsenal but the Gooners Survived the Scathe: Liverpool Tasted Southampton Sourness but also Won while Creative City was VAR-robbed of the Sought Victory as Lucky Spurs Got a Point.


Arsenal fans like a glutton's first encounter of a tasty meal couldn't stop mouthing Ceballos. The dude slayed with beautiful assists in his first EPL start. Lacazette was a live crocodile fighting dirty for that first goal; unbelievably off-balance yet he converted. Burnley retaliated and got a muddled equaliser. Luiz was decently solid and Ceballos, generous with passes.  Aubameyang got the winner to make it 2-1, a beautifully converted Henri-esque goal. 
Southampton stood up and shook the champion, creating chances but the rejigged ( (re-Dijked) Liverpool Defense won't concede easy. Mane converted a beautiful curler. Firmino got the second with another Henri-esque one. Southampton won't die easy as they got on scoreline through Liverpool outcast Ings.
CitySpurs was a battle of wit. Creativity versus doggedness. Guardiola's creative tactics met Spurs inexhaustible doggedness. Pochetino waited for the right time to poach while Cityzen did all the playing yet squandering chances. Sterling headed home the first goal while Lamela scored a cunning equaliser. Aguero again put City forward through a tap-in but poaching Spurs installed the supersub Lucas Moura who converted a corner kick to make the game a tie. Finally, it was Gabriel Jesus that seemed to score a likely equaliser but football "god-eye" VAR played the unfortunate/fortunate god to rule out the goal. It ended stalemate to lovers of football dismay. 
See you next week.

'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
