Everton Game a Postmortem for Chicken Gunners

Arsenal is Sinking. Like a log of wood be-shackled by hefty luggage. Could Arteta save the club? Make it float again with buoyancy like a leaf?

We know that the issue wasnt of Management alone but of the players too. They lack the winning attitude. And the passion to exert themselves as a champion.

The game with Everton was the same show of ineptitude and shame. Everton was woeful too. Neither could secure a goal.

The unbecoming of Arsenal. What will Arteta bring to the table? The so-called established players lack the right attitude and the youths lack the quality to impress the game. The whole line-up is a jamboree of inertness. But Everton was another chicken that couldnt exploit a chicken Arsenal.

Pepe was seated out. Oezil's attitude oozing a petulant decay. It is obvious. Nelson and Saka could not change the game. Defense did not concede but the midfield connected nothing.

It was a postmortem for Arsenal. Fans knew that the invisibility is long dead. Future losses and wins would just be accidental and erratic like Nigeria Power Supply.

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...

EPLWATCH 19th week

#ARSLIV In an exciting encounter, a better Liverpool attacks were shadowed by their woeful defence as Arsenal's lucky flashes of brilliance equalled the scoreline. Sallah lived large like an Egyptian god as he wiggled freely. Sanchez, though below par, got a goal. Xhaka reminded us his shooting grace but his woeful defence was a concern. TakeHome: A team's character ain't completed until her shoulder can bear the burden of relentless attack that she subjects her opponents to. Klopp should note! ‎#EVECHE It was a bleak afternoon for Conte's guys. A sterile performance as the false nine strategy produced no goal. Everton almost punished them with Pickford keeping Chelsea out. TakeHome: Being a champion is difficult and what is more difficult is staying a champion. Conte will definitely tell you that it's gruelling. ‎#MCIBOR The citizens' winning stretches to 17 games. Aguero was back to his leading role as David Silva dictated tunes and Sterling ...

Of Nigerian HR and the Teeming Youths

There’s a thin line of difference between being boisterous and confident. Also, the determination of what is rude is often how the expression is perceived. HR Taiwo interviewed this brilliant dude who wanted to impress her with a simple compliment of “you smell nice”. HR Taiwo retorted “you are rude!” Twitter went agog with varying ideas. While some concluded that Nigerian HR acted like a mini-god, some decried the audacity of the guy. What was HR expecting? A respectful "ma" to follow? Or she regarded the compliment as audacious flirting? What was the interviewee trying to achieve also? A memorable closure to the interview? Or a simple display of his confidence? I understand she was too harsh with the retort but people can be that difficult. As an interviewee, do not allow yourself to be goaded into a position where such unruly interviewer will have a chance to hack you down. Flamboyant confidence can maim your chance with sadists on the seat "You smell nice"...
