Arteta not "Brighton" Enough to Beat Brighton

Arsenal looked bright but couldnt undo Brighton's brilliant spirit. Till 41st minute, nothing eventful from Arsenal except Saka's bold shot. He hit the woodwork and set Lacazette up for an almost-a-goal attempt. It was as if the loss of their last game continued into this game.

Pepe's movement disturbed the opponents and was creating a healthy space for Saka and Auba. Yet Asrenal had nothing to show for the first half despite having an upper hand.

In the third quarter of the game, Arsenal was still brighter. Some brilliant exchanges among Saka, Aubameyang and Lacazette. It was 68th min that Pepe put Arsenal on the scoresheet with an Arjen-robben-curly shot. He cut in and whipped it in.

To Arteta dismay, Dunk got the equaliser in a defender-fashion when he stamped a ball into the net off Holding. Finally, it was Maupay that doused the hope for any stupid point. As Arsenal left the pitch fighting for no-point.

Is Arsenal on course or curse? Time has started to tell. David Luiz was not in the fray today, it was either Kolasinac fumbling or Guendouzi heavy limb? Or Brighton was just lucky?

'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

"Manchester United Taking points from the Rich and giving to the Poor" as Watford recorded a second win

Manchester United has proven their mettle against top-table teams getting points like its their birthright but floundered against small teams. Ismaila Sarr and Troy Deeney's strikes earned Watford their second win of the season. Meanwhile, Greenwood and Lingard's misses cost them United. Pogba came and outshone others. Yet no one could convert his lofty passes. Ole is building something. But who has the patience for this "constructor"? Some god whispered: Solskjaer - Living off 1999 De Gea - Living off reputation James - Living off August Lingard - Living off his passport Man United Goal Difference - Living off Chelsea #WATMUN What does next game bring? -toonday
