Old Trafford Roared as Ole Frightened Klopp

The weekend tension could be felt from England to Ibadan as the football atmosphere was thickened with pregnant optimism from Ole and Klopp's no-nonsense craze to set the record straight. Klopp believed Ole should be taught a lesson for that optimism and Ole hung the hope of continuing his job on the outcome of the match.

Just as promised, a dying tiger fights dirty. Soksjaer startled the football world in the first half of the game. He played the Liverpool ways: long balls with quick counter. He got the only goal in the first through the nimble footed James' assist. Rashford trashed it into the net. Old Trafford roared and beliefs soared. Liverpool was expecting the usual: where the opponent would be trying to out-create them in the midfield and they (Liverpool) would use your errors to punish you.

Many first half events like a claim of Origi being fouled before the buildup to the goal was checked on VAR. But Liverpool was VAR unfortunate in the game as Mane early goal was also ruled out as hand ball.

VanDijk met the real Rashford. Rashford was at a peak despite having fewer touches. He got a roaring goal and several stoic torments on VanDijk.

Second half was for Liverpool. Dijk and Fabinho transferred aggression to James. It was effective as the small lad became un-felt later in the game.

Manchester united defence, as usual, later slept off and Lallana equalised for Liverpool. Klopp jubilated "a point is better than no points". Ole still firmly on the wheel because he made the champion dredge for a point in Old Trafford. Just remember that Man Utd moved up from 13th to 13th position.

Mane still a Supermane. Liverpool notably a long-baller. Ole adapted quite well. Rashford not trash anymore, Ole just needs to awaken the passion.

The shadow of the clash almost made us forget:

Chelsea won Newcastle 1-0 through Alonso' goal. Is Marcos Alonso coming back? Manchester beat crystal palace 2-0.

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...

Liverpool Laundered Chelsea 2-0

Lampard's League of Assassins became the victim and were turned into whiff when they met King Klopp's Coven of Wizards. Mane mane-handled them, scoring a brace. Klopp's magic wand turned Timo Werner to Timo Waster. Havertz became Harvard without a degree. Kante could not count any goal. Kepa also was no keeper. Chelsea became ChelShit: as all turned messy. The game actually started as if Chelsea would be in control for a longer time. Werner squandered two good chances, though his movements were always threatening. But the real story unveiled after 40+ minutes into the game. Mane got Christensen to foul him. Red card for CB. The game became only Liverpool's. Magic Mane later got the first goal and also the second which was gifted by Kepa unkempt pass. Jorginho kept jogging but not creating. Zouma tried his best and Tomori as sub was not timorous but the scoreline wasnt palatable. Lampard has a lot to fix. But he has another league o...

'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...
