Solskjaer Came with the Confidence of a Predator but Ridiculously Humbled as a Prey

Like fans like the coach, Ole's outright overconfidence reflected in his selection and the pattern of play. But Lampard looking for redemption from his persistent failure against Ole fielded his in-form striker. The game could have gone either way but Basket De Gea ensured the losing side was Man UTD. He conceded some goals which an amateur could have a rethink over. ( especially the second goal).

The crumbling of the glorious Red Devil started when Bailly left the pitch injured. McGuire couldn't hold up. He had the confidence but his delivery couldn't match his price tag. Giroud scored the first goal: a quick tap-in. De Gea could only caress the ball as it sauntered across the goal-line like a virgin that escaped the lure of her man. The second was a quick interception by Mount and he hit from some yards. De Gea must still be thinking of the Virgin cuz he saw the ball yet he dreamingly parried it into his own net. Like a man with no confidence in front of a maiden with so much ego. That was immediately after the resumption of the second half.

The third however was a deflection by overpriced McGuire into his own net. Man Utd got a penalty to register their own presence too. It ended. 3-1.

It was Lampard to the final of the Oldest trophy campaign in England. Arteta already waiting in the arena. Who will be the last standing Gladiator? 

Time is the diviner and definer of the future.

'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...

A Father Nonetheless

A father should be a hero: gallant, and valiant. That's relatively the social expectation of a father figure. For such structure, fatherhood extends beyond sperming an ovum.  That's our expectations. Failure on these expectations sees the society questioning the father of his moral claim on the child.  For a mother, there is the unmatchable and unquestionable nine-month sacrifice that any amount of post-birth mishap or misnomer could not erase. The pain a mother passes through during birth is beyond any bearable decibel.  Therefore the baggage of expectation is often much on the father, as the mother's nature-induced pain has compensated for anything. When a father fails, the society and the child complain. But, should that mindset be coming from the child without considering other factors? Many a father nowadays desires to be a role model but the gnawing environment saps their realities to pitiable shambles. No excuse for them though but time is ha...

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
