Fans Blamed VAR as Arsenal Drew with Sheffield United Despite Having the Lead Goal

Arsenal almost conceded when the game started. But like yeast their performance increased in size. They survived the onslaught. Pepe stepped up his game, nutmegging opponents. Niles spread like river Nile covering the pitch. Luiz aborted dangerous chances like a Veteran abortionist. Finally, it was Martinelli that rewarded Arteta's trust with a beautiful tap-in goal from Saka's sublime cross. The first half ended so.

The second half gave no warning of the win-less end. Arsenal was till all gung-ho believing a second goal must come. But Sheffield like a cunning sheriff of a dangerous county maintained the balance , absorbed the pressure. They saw the game out till they equalised close to the end of the game. It ended one-one. Fans' belief deflated a bit further.

How farther and better can they get? Arteta still has the fans but getting results is the utmost assurance. The team should just learn how to score more than one goal. Albeit, some god whispered " even if Arsenal cooked egusi soup, it would draw".

'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

My Visions are Shaping

In my formative years, I had a dream to be a doctor, a far cry from being a musician. This dream was shattered by circumstances, and situations beyond my younger might. Thus, a phase in musical career was borne. It was a bumpy ride. It was filled with challenges and impediments that almost tainted my good personality. Unrelenting, I held steadfastly to my vision. The desire to succeed is far greater than the fear of failure. I strived against all the odds to be here today: a fulfilled and successful musician. It is indeed a satisfaction. Whereas, I have, on many occasions been proclaimed a "Doctor" in the field of Music. A feat made possible as a result of an enviable effort in the field. But yet, I am not carried away with such praises. Education is said to be the best legacy. The same urge to succeed that has continually spurred me on in my music career, has again propelled me to pursue a career in academic. Upon enrolment for a full-time course at the De...
