COME ON OLISEH! WTF! A THINKING CAP PLEASE

I was taught back in my days in the journalism school never to be bias in reporting, never take side, just be neutral, be balanced and thats what we call objectivity in journalism *Dusting shoulders* hehehehe, at least i know ma Dad's money didn't waste lol. I am trying to be objective by waiting for Oliseh's part of the story but whatever he's got to say! Damn! You don't do that shii with a national icon!

Okay, you can say i am starting the whole thing from the tail, get a trophy for that, the whole story i am sure most of y'all have heard, Super Eagles 'captain' Vincent Enyeama was REPORTEDLY bounced out of the team's camp at the order of the coach Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh, sorry Mr Sunday Olisheh, and that got me like what tha heck! Was the coach on something or what?! That dude is our hero, a captain for that matter, what could have happened!

Enyeama is really vexing o! 

I personally feel this is totally unfair on the part of Sunny Oliseh, yeah he is trying to instill discipline into the team but asking Enyeama to be bounced out in the presence of younger players is a disgrace to the goalkeeper and a total disaster in Oliseh's decision, thats way too much, that dude has got dignity, he is not always like that and we all know. The last time he missed the team's match was because he lost his mom, now he is back into the team, if na me, i am so taking more time off!

Oliseh should be told that if he wanna vent any anger, it should be on Victor Moses who withdrew from the team with a baseless excuse and not Vincent. I can imagine how some other players in the team will be feeling especially those loyal to Vincent, gradually the team is dividing. A Mikel who has no mouth playing for a 16th (lol) placed team in England too will be feeling important now in the camp anytime Enyeama talks, why? because you disrespected him in the midst of other players especially the home-based players.

And just when i was thinking "Ok, lets forgive him since the NFF has intervened", Bros Sunny drooped another bombshell! 

According to him:

"There is no captaincy tussles. For Nigeria going forward, I need a player who is regular in the team and it is Ahmed Musa, who did a great job in Tanzania under very difficult circumstances. He (Musa) is the captain of the team, not somebody who is thinking of retirement. A captain has to lead by example. We are not here to build stars. If you don’t conform to what I am trying to do, we will be friends, but we will be friends from afar. There has been a new government and the President has picked new ministers. And that is what I have also done." - Sunday Oliseh

Hehehehehehe, I swear down, this Sunny Oliseh dude is a real Politician! Did he just used the word "Ministers"? Gademn it! He wants a player who is regular in the team, Oliseh should be shown the record, nobody can rival Enyeama, nobody, he has always been there since 2002, we all know this and i am sure he does too so why this excuse to drop him as the captain of the team and i have no issue with Musa but its gonna be weird having Enyeama on the pitch and Musa wearing the captain's armband, even having Mikel on the pitch and Musa the captain? God! Drama cant cease from Nigeria Football.

Oliseh must be relying on Carl Ikeme, who is no doubt a wonderful goalkeeper but just the way Oliseh mentioned the president picking new ministers, he should check the ministerial lists very well and see that the president picked EXPERIENCED people to work with, Carl Ikeme doesnt even have the English Premier League experience! He has always been in the second-tier of English football. U wanna compare with a veteran of the World Cup, Nations Cup winner, champions League experience, Europa League experience and has faced the Messi and other world class players, intact, Messi had to salute him too! Experience aint something you bend down and pick at Yaba Market. Bros Oliseh, you need to put on your thinking cap.

The NFF should apologize to Enyeama and i see nothing wrong in Oliseh doing the same thing, asking a bouncer to eject him from the team's hotel is an height of disrespect to the man who has served this country for 13 years. Meanwhile, i expect Oliseh to give me a call soon. i saw his "please call me back" though and i am sure he wanna discuss this issue and i will tell him exactly what i just wrote here. 

I am out.

SCREENING THE MINISTERIAL LIST OURSELVES

I've always try as much as i can to be very neutral when it comes to politics, especially in this part of the World where we all know people prefer to support a party rather than an individual who could impact in their lives.

During the last election, i wasn't against the person of Mr Jonathan, i just wanted a change in how the country was, i felt so disappointed that Nigeria is 'secretly' running a two-party system when we are suppose to have many credible candidates, but alas, we had just two options, one who has been leading us and we groaning and another who is coming back after two, or three? attempts. We had no choice, if MC Oluomo of Oshodi had emerged as APC candidate then, we would have voted him trust me, we just wanted Jona to go and yes it happened. 

We cant however deny the fact that we are beginning to see few changes especially in the power sector where some of us now switch off our refridgerators to avoid our bottles been broken, even though some people are saying its not like that in their areas but it will be unGodly to fail to give credit to this administration for the massive improvement in the power sector. 

Fashola, Amaechi and Fayemi. All are former governors! Recycling! 

One major talk of the 'town' has been the delay in the release of the ministerial list but thank God the list is out and i just got hold of the list from Aunty Mi Linda's blog, and i was (dont know about you o) shocked to be honest, aside Mr Fashola, who i believe so much in, and Lai Mohammed who of course we all expected to be there and Mr Amaechi? lol, we are in for the same old Nigeria! 

If you live in Lagos inn the past 8 years and you still saying Fashola didnt do a thing, you need to google God's personal number and give Him a call for special apology. The dude did wonderfully well, don't care how much he stole, just do your work, so i am suspecting he will be the Works and Housing Minister. On Lai Mohammed, yes, oppositions don't like him because they feel he talks too much but this is a PR person who is simply doing his job, Olisa Metu did the same for PDP so i see no reason why people on the other side are always against him, you people should better prepare for your Information minister (just predicting ni o, i am not GMB's adviser on ministerial post o) and aside those two, i really cant say about others, i hardly know them aside Fayemi and yes, Ngige! chei. GMB will give @DemolaRewaju mouth to talk well! 

Honestly i was expecting unknown names, not necessarily unknown though, everyone were looking forward to names like Prof Pat Utomi, Dele Momodu, Mrs Ifueko Omigu and other young, vibrant technocrats but the names on that list are just what we are used to. I am personally not a fan of Ngige, he is too controversial, nothing personal and there is this former Sports Minister, he is now in APC, yes Bolaji Abdulahi (Thanks to Demo for the reminder), i like the guy, he is very sound but i've come to realize that one thing is to be sound and another is to have leadership quality.

Check out the list of your ministers-to-be: Babatunde Fashola- Lagos, Rotimi Amaechi- Rivers, Kayode Fayemi- Ekiti, Chris Ngige- Anambra, Ogbonaya Onu- Abia, Malami Abubakar- Kebbi, Aisha Alhassan- Taraba, Amina Mohammed- Gombe, Kemi Adeosun- Ogun, Ibe Kachikwu- Delta, Lt.-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazzau-, Hadi Sirika- Katsina, Osagie Ehanire- Edo, Udoma Udo-Udoma- Akwa Ibom, Ahmed Isa Ibeto- Niger, Sulaiman Adamu- Jigawa, Ibrahim Jibril- , Adebayo Shittu-Oyo, Audu Ogbeh- Benue, Ahmed Musa, Lai Mohammed- Kwara.

Let's give GMB the benefit of doubt rather than condemning the list, like i said too, i only like just 2 people in this list so we are in the same position but come to thin of it, cant we be voting ministers too?

DEAR MR YINKUS AIYEFELE

Just like every other concerned people, i was shocked to see the report on twitter and of course, from Aunty Linda's blog, how on earth would people wanna attack someone like Bros Yinkus with such condition? Haba! That was my first though! 

Since i was inside the bus then, and the girl beside me was stylishly staring at my phone, i tried as much as possible not to read the full details but i was tempted to know why, what he must have done, so i gave the sister Caro beside me the full privilege of watching CNN as i read the full gist.

So apparently, Bros Yinkus Aiyefel had gone to perform in a particular place and refused to 'settle' the boys of the town and they turned against him and his boys. If i was among the band of Aiyefele, to be honest, ill trade punch with him, i dont wanna call that stinginess but why are you trying to run away from your responsibilities? I call it responsibility because that is what YOU MUSICIANS have turned the touts to, they are your tools and we all know its the norm so why not do what you gotta do? They gave you millions of naira and you cant drop something for the boys? Haba! 

Was wondering why Bros Yinkus didnt give them money until i saw this attire on him! Ndigbo!

At times we need to forget the money and think about our lives? Money, they say, is the root of all evils, people do kill for money o, especially the touts, they can kill because of WAZO (N50), thats paraga money mehn, they dont care how much, they just want you to make them "BE HAPPY" as used on the streets. 

I heard 15 people were injured and the instruments were damaged. 

See, i am NOT, dont get me wrong, i am not supporting this area boys or touts or whatever but the fact is, Government are suppose to do something with this people but are not doing anything about them, they are now part of us and thats something we need to live with. So many of us have been stopped on the streets by this "Area boys', several times, they think i am a yahoo boy, not just me though, we cant fight them naw, just make them "BE HAPPY" and move on, shikena! They will even tell you that its because they like you, thats why they are coming to you, their mouths are sweet like that, especially the ones from Ibadan, lol.

i dont wanna go back to editing but i've confirmed that Bros Yinkus was given N3m, thats pretty cheap though but then, if you give those boys JUST N20K, you still have N2,980.00 abi? pardon my mathematics, i got F9 in my first attempt before my brother helped me to sneak in answer and i got C5 later, i just hope NECO officials are not reading this. So Bros Yinka, N20K would have prevented all the damages and now with all the damages and injuries, you will spend more than that N20k, its so avoidable.

Meanwhile, Bros Yinka, get in touch with me for further advice.

i'm out. My previous blogs have been sports but wanna cut across everyone now, so leggo!

THE EPL IS ABOUT TO GET HOTTER!

A very good morning to y'all once again ... its another Barclays Premier League weekend and as usual, the excitement, the buzz and the paparazzi it brings awaits the fans. Before the Match Day 1, i predicted some matches and i was ashamed of myself because only 2 predictions came to pass out of 10! Arghhh, this is why i dont play Nairabet or 360bet or whatever ... i know football is not predictable, especially as Manchester United's loss to Swansea would have broken so many hearts, in my area i heard many people saying "Swansea spoiled my ticket" lol ... wonder why people take football like mathematics, this is the EPL where Burnley can wake up one day and hammer Manchester City 3-0! Wake up dudes! This is not La Liga where Barcelona will surely hammer Levante by 7-0!

So, whats been happening lately in the EPL? Finally, LVG decided to sign a qulaity CB in Mojo, sorry, Marcos Rojo, an exciting defender that can play either as a centre back or left back, i remembered he scored against #Nigeria at the #World Cup in Brazil, what else can i say about him, maybe i should say yeah, he's got nice tattoo ... ask any Manchester United fan too, they won't know what to say about him, he is relatively unknown but he is a descent player. The problem i have is, where is he playing in Manchester United's new 3-5-2 formation? CB? where will Evans play? LB? where will Luke Shaw play? Well, like the fans will say, he is the tactical master so he knows best, hmmm ... agree with them? I agree with them, we all say his tactical skills again Swansea last week *Holds laughter* ... so, welcome Mr Mojo, what a time to come when the weather is COLD :) .... 

So, also in the deal, Nani has moved the opposite direction to join Sporting Lisbon, that is good for Man United, the next players to leave should be Anderson, Fletcher, Carrick and Welbeck ... they are not the calibre of players that should be with such club, Welbeck should be plying his trade in the Championship with Doncaster Rovers or Sheffield Saturday, is it Wednesday, whatever ... Sheffied oneday .... Fletcher should be playing for Bolton Wanderes and Anderson should be playing for Chelsea ... yeah, Bully team ... or Stoke City. Anyway, we shall see who is coming next to the Old Trafford.

So, the trending transfer news right now should be Mario Ballotelli's Liverpool move and it is likely to be completed later today as the striker is expected to fly to Liverppol for his medicals. *Sigh* Balotelli again? Okay, i am 100% sure he wont last in Liverpool, quote me, his skills and abiliy is unquestionable but his behaviors? Well, if Liverpool can cope with a vampire, why not a boxer? I wont be surprised if he is asked to sign a behavioral kinda paper too.

I mentioned something on twitter yesterday that if the English press can free him, Balotelli will be a success at Anfield. Brendan Rodgers looks too cool to coach Balotelli though, even a strong-headed coach like Mancini couldn't handle him, they had issues several times, how will Rodgers do it? we shall see, i also hop[e he can complete the whole formalities before the Monday clash with Manchester City.

Now that Angel Di Maria and Sami Khedira have both rejected new deals at Real Madrid, where will they be heading? Di Maria is rumoured to be heading to Manchester United while Chelsea and Arsenal also want Khedira but if  you ask me who needs Khedira most, it has to be Arsenal. Chelsea has got Ramires, Matic and Mikel while the gunners has no defensive midfielder and thats where they need to strengthen .... I will be amazed to see Angel heading to the Old Trafford though but if no other team except Manchester United is showing interest, then he will have no other choice than to go there because he already asked to leave the club.

Lets look at the weekend's fixtures and as usual, my predictions hehehehe, Nairabet players ....

Aston Villa vs Newcastle United

This is a tricky tie. Judging Newcastle by their last game against Manchester City will be a mistake, they are a good side and will prove that against Aston Villa, who won their first game against Stoke City.

Prediction: Aston Villa 1 Newcastle United 1

Chelsea vs Leicester City

This is no contest at all as Chelsea will easily romp Leicester City. Maybe we will see another game that will spoil tickets ... lol, i dont think so, i expect FabrePass to show another performance that will make Chelsea fans say he is the best in the world! 

Prediction: Chelsea 3 Leicester City 1

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

A London derby, Crystal palace showed sparks against Arsenal the last time out and if they play that kind of game again, then the Hammers are in trouble. Chamakh is looking very sharp and should show himself here.

Prediction: Crystal palace 2 West Ham United 1

Southampton vs West Brom Albion

I will give this game to Southampton, they should 'kick-off' their season from this game, they've lost so many players but they've added few players and should find their way past the Albions.

Prediction: Southampton 2 West Brom 0

Swansea vs Burnley

Swansea is set to continue its 100% record against Burnley by grabbing the 3 needed points. An outstanding performance against Manchester United at Old Trafford signals their readiness for the season. Easy victory expected in this encounter

Prediction: Swansea 4 Burnley 0

Everton vs Arsenal

Okay, this is a tough duel. Arsenal know that they wont find it easy against the Tofees, the last time they met, it was a resounding 3-0 victory for Roberto Martinez's boys. The only problem i have is that Ross Barkley is out injured and that will be very hard for Everton while Arsenal has all its players fit except for Arteta. So, its gonna be a very interesting game!

Prediction: Everton 0 Arsenal 1

Hull City vs Stoke City

Stoke City should pick up their pieces against Hull City. They just got Victor Moses in their ranks and despite Hull City playing in Europe, they haven't really strengthen their squad enough to compete both in the EPL and the Europa League. Stoke City wont go down easily. I cant also stick out my neck for Stoke City, they can disappoint when least expected.

My Prediction: Hull City 1 Stoke City 1

Tottenham Hotspurs vs Queens Park Rangers

Normally, we should say this will be very easy for Spurs but there is something about QPR that you cant just ignore. The coach, Harry Redknapp is also a former coach of Spurs and as much as you will wanna say that doesnt matter, QPR has got qualities in their rank just as Spurs so i expect a very keenly contested match.

Prediction: Tottenham 3 QPR 1

Sunderland vs Manchester United

Okay, Robin Van Persie is back, so the goals are gonna keeping rushing, Mojo has also joined from Sporting Lisbon while Nani has gone the opposite way. Everything seems to be working fine for them right now except on the pitch, so this game is the perfect opportunity for them to return to reckoning ... but yet, with that 3-5-2 formation still there, Sunderland could spring a surprise.

Prediction: Sunderland 1 Manchester United 1

Manchester City vs Liverpool

This is the game of the week! i will be expecting a heavy traffic because of the mad rush to get home to see this game. Like i said earlier, i hope Balotelli's transfer will be finalized today so he can play on Monday. it will be interesting to see how he plays against his former side. The two sides have qualities. I really cant predict this but i have no choice than to do so.

Prediction: Manchester City 2 Liverpool 0

So, as i was rounding this up, i read a gossip that Welbeck is ready to leave Manchester United, good for him, Enyimba is still recruiting ... i hope Aba fans will like him. Thank sfor reading mare.

Follow us @gr8akin 

AND HERE WE GO .... THE EPL KICKS OFF

... and finally, the big season is kicking off today, and just like every other season openers, the fans talk about which team is likely to win the league even without a ball being kicked! That is the fans for you, any yeah, things seem to have changed now with Arsenal's 3-0 thumping of manchester City in the community shield ... many analysts and fans alike are beginning to think Arsenal might just end the Premier League drought this season especially with the captures of Alexis Sanchez, Calum Chambers, David Ospina and Matt Debuchy and of course, with Wenger saying he is still in the market. So, we have to watch out for the gunners.

And of course, we still have to remember the all time favorites, Manchester United. With their new coach, Dutchman Louis Van Gaal, Man United fans feel they've finally landed the man who could do what the great Sir Alex Ferguson did for them with many trophies and the sign is already there with 100% record in their pre-season games and victories over big teams including Real Madrid, that is something to be positive of. The only problem i have is the formation he is employing, with 3-5-2 in the premiership, this is not the dutch league, its the premiership, with that formation, i see teams like arsenal having a easy ride with their speedy players, we saw that when Netherlands played against Argentina at the semi-final of the world cup, Argentina dominated fully with Di Maria and Messi tormenting at the flanks but then, this is not Argentina but Manchester United. So, lets wait and see.

Manchester City is also determined to defend their title and will be stronger when the season begins, i feel the 0-3 loss to Arsenal in the community shield was just a DEMO, they still have the armory to succeed and remain a real contender. They have not been the old City side that spends big in bringing in players every season but however they've brought in Mangala, a french defender from FC Porto for a huge price and of course they've got Bacary Sagna to warm their rich bench and some other players but i am particularly looking forward to see what they wanna do with wizkid, Kelechi Iheanacho; yeah, y'all thought i was gonna say Wizkid the singer, wetin that one know?

So, Chelsea fans, i dont know but really, i am not apologising but i just dont like your team, mouth too much ... but it doesn't take away the fact that Chelsea is a real contender too. The addition of Cesc Fabregas is so significant, thats a very good sign of seriousness, even though i still feel Lampard should have been retained, he is a club icon and i see no reason why he can't be kept, Mourinho and the chelsea board make a mistake of letting him go and allowed Man City to get him, remember Man City snapped up Patrick Vieira too, they like getting what other teams have worked all their lives for. If Mourinho is saying he released Lampard because he is old, why did he bring back guy called Drogba? Well, like most Chelsea fans will say, he is THEIR special one even though Arsenal fans still think he is a specialist in failure hehehehe, ok, not laughing ....

Alright, if you ask me, those 4 teams are gonna end up being in the Top 4 this season, can't predict their positions yet but Top 4 is sure for them. Liverpool's inability to get anothr top notch to replace Vampire Suarez is a major concern, they've bought over 9 players so far this season but ain't no one yet like that animal Suarez, a lethal goal scorer, all round complete footballer, the reason why BarKAlona paid such amount for his services. They tried to lure Alexis Sanchez though but Alexis just wanna play good football and that is the reason he went to the Gunners. Well, the transfer window is still open widely self, so we will see what Brendan Rodgers will do before the window closes. Not just Liverpool, most teams will still do something in the market especially Arsenal and Manchester United.

Well, lets check out the fixtures for the weekend .... i am so looking forward to it. First lets go to Old Trafford ...

Manchester United vs Swansea:

Okay, this is gonna be a straight 3 points for Manyoo. I don't expect it to be a easy ride though but they will get the needed result for sure, its pleasing to know that it is the season opener as it will be played around 12 and 1 pm ... we all wanna see whether the hype on Louis Vendor, sorry Van Gaal will pay off.

My Prediction: Man United 2 Swansea 0 ....

Leicester City vs Everton

I was football manager recently, i resigned at Marseille to go coach Everton after they sacked Mourinho for talking too much and i started the season exactly like this, my first game was against Leicester City and Everton won by 3-1 but with Lukaku playing this game, i don't wanna predict 3-1 but maybe more goals for Everton, Leicester City are however the Championship winner last season, so it wont be an easy ride for Everton ... ermmm, okay, i'll take a chill pill

My Prediction: Leicester City 1 Everton 1

Queen Park Rangers vs Hull City

Okay, this game will be one of the boring game of the week so it will be hard to predict and trust me, one of this teams will go down at the end of the season ... i just know. QPR are still keeping Loic Remy with them and that is an advantage, aside that they've got veterans in that team too, Rio Ferdinand and the coach lol. well ....

My Prediction: QPR 2 Hull City 0

Stoke City vs Aston Villa

This will go down to a draw. Stoke City are good in the attack, Odemwingie, Crouch and new recruit, Bojan. I am still looking forward to see that Aston Villa of those days, when Ashley Young was there running things and Agbonlahor doing his own thing. They were good then and posed threat to all the big teams back them but something similar will return when Benteke returns to fitness.

My Prediction: Stoke City 2 Aston Villa 1

Arsenal vs Crystal Palace

This is not expected to be a duel where the gunners need to sweat on at all, coupled with the fact that Tony Pulis just departed the eagles, wondering why though but i think he has done a decent work there and should have been retained. Arsenal no doubt, the best team in tEngland right now having beaten the EPL Champions and will wanna maintain that form. 

My Prediction: Arsenal 4 Crystal Palace 0

 

West Brom Albion vs Sunderland

West Brom got a real coup signing Nigerian striker, Brown Ideye for a club record of $10m. He is not the best when it comes to the Super Eagles of Nigeria but his goalscoring record in Europe is excellent, i am sure West Brom Manager knows this when he signed him up. Sunderland on the other hand *sigh* they will only try but i can see a draw in this tie.

My Prediction: West Brom 1 Sunderland 1

West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspurs

Okay, a tough duel this will be. I know most people will be like its gonna be easy for Spurs but this is a London derby, Its always not easy when Londoners play. I will boldly say West ham United wil ......... okay, lose. Tottenham will override them aha.

My Prediction: West Ham United 0 Spurs 2

Liverpool vs Southampton

Okay, this match is a must watch for me, i dont know about you. This is a game between a rich man and a supermarket ... Southampton lost Lallana, Lovren and Lambert to Liverpool and aside Lallana who is out injured, the other Ls are set to face their former team. Southampton is so depleted right now and they wont escape being beaten by Liverpool. Yes, with goals as well.

My Prediction: Liverpool 3 Southampton 0

Newcastle United vs Manchester City

This is another tough game but Newcastle will just try thier best but Manchester City will show their superiority over the magpies. Newcastle made some couple of deals as well, as usual buying unknown players and turning them to world class players, Manchester City on the other hand are noy fully fit yet for the season, we all saw that against the Gunners last Saturday and maybe a surprise sha but wait for it. Its gonna be an interesting game.

My Prediction: Newcastle United 1 Manchester City 2

Burnley vs Chelsea

Okay, in this case, i just wanna say i pity Burnley, thats all. Well, it will also be interesting to see who mans the post for Chelsea, will it be Courtois or Cech? We shall see ... and i also wanna see Fabregas.

My prediction: Burnley 0 Chelsea 4

So, as i go right now, all of you that plays Nairabet or naijabet abi its 1960, you can use my prediction and i'll bet you will win, trust me. Sha send my own cut or else ehn! 

Till tomorrow .... Follow @gr8akin

EPL SOON!!!!! TRANSFERS ON-GOING AND MORE ....

So, just like many football lovers, i am so excited that the world cup is over ... yeah, all the paparazzi, the drama and all ... it's over and to crown all the DRAMAS of the tournament, the player of the tournament prize was rigged! Yes, i know we all want James Rodriguez to get that award due to his magnificent outing at the tournament, but FIFA has its own way of judging despite the fact that Mr Blatter is saying he knows nothing about the politics in HIS own office ... what a joke! .... and for Barca fans, they can be so blinded by love for their talisman ... whether you all like it or not, Messi DONT deserve to be the MVP, not even in Top 3! beat that!

Well, i am not interested in that, i am so much interested i the league that i can't wait for to start, yeah, the English Premier League #EPL ... well, the fixtures are out and fans are looking forward to the kick off already although at this point, we all just wanna be reading the papers to know who and who is moving to where .... 

So, Arsene Wenger started where he left off last season by capturing Chilean Alexis Sanchez, what a signing if you ask me, all the years of Arsenal not signing players is now paying off, yeah, Arsenal fans didnt like Wenger due to that reason but they all forgot that Arsenal had new stadium and they had to pay back the debt which i think have been completed and the reason why big signings are coming in now. It was Mesut Ozil last season, now its Sanchez and there is also the buzz of Sami Khedira following Alexis to the Emirates and that will make all other #EPL rivals sit up. Really, #Arsenal just added quality to the side.

Other teams arent sleeping too, Chelsea signed Spanish striker Diego Costa long before the start of the World Cup in Brazil after a wonderful season with Athletico Madrid scoring goals with fun, got to the final of the Champions League and won the Spanish La Liga but unfortunately, sorry Chelsea fans, had a miserable tournament in his native Brazil. Honestly, if you ask me, it will be hard for Diego Costa to impress in England, come on! We are talking about the toughest league in the World! A league where Sunderland can beat Chelsea at home lol, its been a while i took a jibe at Chelsea though ... but getting Diego Costa is a big plus and letting go of David Luiz for such huge amount is great especially after that performance at the World Cup .... Oh, Mourinho ... 

And i heard a certain Felipe Costa is also following Diego Costa to Stamford Bridge ... althoug i'm still not comfortable with Mourinho letting go of Frank Lampard, i think he is an icon that should be allowed to retire at the club and probably becomes a player/coach at the club he did everything for, and if the rumour of Chelsea trying to bring back Didier Drogba as a player/coach is anything to go by, then its a shame on Chelsea's side but #Kermit

Sill on Arsenal, respected spanish newspaper, Marca reportedly said Real Madrid has agreed a deal of 25m Pounds (sorry i don't have a pounds sign on my keyboard) and it is now left for the player to agree personal terms with the club and if its true he is requesting to be the highest player at the club, then i will tell Wenger to shove him off, its not like he is that fantastic, fine he is a good player but not fantastic. Marca has a reliable source in Real Madrid and when they say something on transfer, then its gonna work. David Ospina of Colombia is also on the wish list of Arsenal who will need a back up goalkeeper after the departure of Lukasz Fabianski to Swansea City.

Okay,i know this Arsenal fans hate this particular image but then, its been done, we've gat to move on. Cesc Fabregas has moved to Stamford Bridge to team up with Jose Mourinho, yes, that is the coach that Fabregas never liked in Spain but don't blame him, he wanted out of Barcelona and he was hoping Arsene Wenger would sign him but he didn't even show interest so he had to go to a club that wanted him and that is Chelsea, you still wanna blame him? I wish him good luck at the club, even though Mourinho is likely to turn him to a defensive midfielder the way he turned Bros Mikel. 

Manchester United already got a world class coach in Louis Van Gaal and that made the whole Manchester United fans supporting the Netherlands at the world Cup, lol, funny people, they also signed Anders Herrera, i don't know much about him but i heard he is better than Anderson and Fellaini, so not a bad deal for the reds.

More talk tomorrow, we will talk about Suarez tomorrow and what Michael Owen is saying ...  and yeah before i go, take another look Fabregas in Chelsea's jersey, wont you ask yourself whether Chelsea should get a good tailor? #OKBye

See ya ... 
@gr8akin

MOURINHO IS A CLASS, GERRAD'S NEW BOOTS, EPL TITLE NOT OPEN TO CHELSEA ....

I decided not to tweet yesterday during and after the Liverpool, Chelsea game at Anfield, the reason not far fetched, when i saw the line up of Chelsea and with all the mouth i've made earlier about how Liverpool are gonna whip Chelsea's ass, i had no choice than to zip ma mouth which i did during the game, although, Liverpool started brightly until Steven Gerrard decided to swap his boot and used the boot given to him as birthday gift from Roman Abarahamovic and mehn, its a wonderful boot but it just didnt work out for Steven Gee!

Nice gift from Abrahamovic to Gerrard, Unique boot

So, just like what everyone says, football aint mathematics and before you know, the race for the EPL title has now been blown open with Chelsea's victory over Liverpool, i must say i am really disappointed because i really wanted Liverpool to win and go ahead to widen the gap. Okay but looking at the highlight, what happened to Steven Gee and check out the second goal, that was a mockery on Liverpool, nice one for Torres, he didn't wanna score against his old club out of respect and decided to pass to Willian who eventually got the goal that nailed the coffin on Liverpool. Mourinho shouted on top oh his voice, what a coach, so entertaining a man.

Next time Steven, dont collect gifts from Abrahamovic

On Mourinho, like i said on twitter yesterday, as much as i dont really like him, well because of his talkativity, pardon that English, he talks too much, meddling in other teams' business and calling a old man like Wenger a failure, chei, a man old enough to be your uncle ... but aside that, give him to him tactically, he knows his onions, he always know what he wants and gets the results against the big teams, he came in with a plan and got the victory, that is a coach. He deserves three freaking gbozas! i know his fans will be smiling now, mshewwww, U will all cry on Wednesday, U go see.

Brendan Rodgers have been lamenting on Mourinho's tactics though,

"They parked two BRT buses, rather than one. From the first minute, they had more than 10 men behind the ball, we were the team trying to win but we just couldn't make the breakthrough"

What do you expect Bro Rodgers, for Mourinho to open his yansh for you to keep pouring in the goals? If you couldn't make the breakthrough, that is due to your tactics as a coach so why faulting another manager's tactics? Ogbeni, do your homework well joor.

The title is now for Manchester City to lose, they just need to win all their remaining three games and win the title, but can they? They have to face Everton, Aston Villa and West Ham. Everton will prove the toughest and considering the fact that are playing at home, they can do agidi and grab a draw and if they should get the draw and Liverpool wins its next two matches against Crystal palace and Newcastle United, then they will win it. This is why the EPL is the best in the world, you cant predict anything but i will stand on my prediction that Liverpool will still win the EPL. Chelsea? so because they won now, they feel they can win the EPL? OYO .... 

Mourinho, very funny character

Still on coaches, congratulations to Ryan Giggs for winning (well, its just Norwich na) his first game in charge, if you ask me, i will say those Man United players plotted against Moyes, see the way they played against Norwich and the way they've been playing against Moyes! Wicked boys .... 

Okay, the EPL team of the year has been announced and there is no single player of Arsenal in the line-up, haba! This is a team that were on top of the table for the whole of the first half of the season, do you think its easy to HELP other big boys holding on to the top before they come there, they have been good servants keeping that place before Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea took over, so for that, they should have been considered. Aaron Ramsey and Lauren Kolscieny especially deserved to be in the team, facing the fact, they should and where is Chelsea's Azpilicueta or whats his name, the dude tried this year too.

Congrats to the duo, they deserve it

                                                               EPL Team of the year:

                                            Petr Cech - Chelsea

                            Vincent Kompany - Manchester City           Garry Cahill - Chelsea

                                                                                                        

             Seamus Coleman - Everton                                           Luke Shaw - Southampton

 

                           Yaya Toure - Man City                   Steven Gerrard - Liverpool

          Adam Lallana - Sothampton                                             Eden Hazard - Chelsea

                                Daniel Sturridge - Liverpool        Luis Suarez - Liverpool

Now, that is the EPL team of the year and like i said, they all deserve to be there but really i would have loved to see Lauren Kolscieny and what do you think of Wayne Rooney? he should be in the EPL team of the year but i know how difficult it is, Daniel Sturridge has been wonderful this year too, scoring amazing goals and his partnership with Luis Suarez is out of this world!

For all the Chelsea fans rooting for Everton for the 4th place, congratulations to you all for they have done you proud, send a gift to Southampton for that. You have the same colour and you gave them Lukaku, so i understand your rooting, just the way i'll be rooting for Athletico Madrid on Wednesday.

Arsenal plays tonight against Newcastle United and they need to win to seal the 4th place tonight at the Emirates
