Liverpool Basked Norwich in 4-1 defeat and Guardiola Hammered the Hammers 5-0 as the Duopoly in EPL Chase Seemed to Continue.

Norwich suffered the baptism of EPL fury with 4-1 punishment from the current European champion Liverpool. Still a Mane-less lineup but he later came in for Origi. Norwich scored an own goal, while Sallah's selfishness was still obvious. He got the second goal, Van Dijk the third and Origi headed one in. Norwich, proving themselves, did not go down whimpering but got on the score sheet through a clinical Temu Pukki's goal (ageless and a veteran). Cantwell a 19 year old lad looks a combo of Modric space-creating play and Kaka's first touch dribble.

Guardiola as ever competitive also hammered West hammers 5-0 to prove a point in the First Gameweek of EPL as the Duopoly-race has started again. People kept muttering "This is Mahrez season". The dude was all over the pitch taunting and tormenting the Hammers. Sterling as the dictionary meaning of his name states, was sterling with a stellar performance securing a hat trick. Gabriel Jesus was on the scoresheet before Kun also scored. Guardiola must have stoked up passion as the first half ended in 1-0 and the Cityzen added 4 whopping goals in the second to hammer the Hammers to another opening-of-the-season defeat.

Fingers crossed, pen tossed till tomorrow as EPL season unfolds.

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...
