In a sport, the unpredictability adds to the essence and it’s no different with Football. Last season when Pep Guardiola’s famous ‘Centurions’ looked unstoppable, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool got the better of them both in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League. But the tables have turned this season and it’s Manchester City’s time to chase and stop the seemingly unstoppable force which is Liverpool. It is safe to say that they did their very best as they stopped Liverpool’s unbeaten run in the Premier League with a 2-1 victory. This victory reduces the gap between the top two to 4…

Anytime you borrow money, finance a purchase, or take out a loan, you should carefully consider if it is the right decision for you. Borrowing money means that you are committing to pay the money back within a certain time frame and at a certain interest rate, according to www.thebalance.com Before signing on the dotted line, you should consider how borrowing money will affect your finances in the future. You don’t want to gamble and guess at whether or not you can afford the payment, how it will affect your debt-to-income ratio, or if it fits into your budget. So while…

Manchester City must trust their playing style to overcome a poor run of results that has left the defending champions third in the English Premier League. Striker Sergio Aguero said this on Wednesday ahead of Thursday’s high voltage clash with leaders Liverpool. City blended high-intensity football with a possession-based approach to cruise to the title last season but Pep Guardiola’s side have hit a few roadblocks in the current campaign, losing three out of their last five games. Unbeaten Liverpool have capitalised on City’s blip in form to open up a six-point lead at the top ahead of second-placed Tottenham…

Jurgen Klopp maintains Manchester City are “the best team in the world” despite his Liverpool side holding a seven-point lead over the defending Premier League champions going into Thursday’s blockbuster top-of-the-table clash. Victory at the Etihad Stadium for the Reds would be seen by many as a huge step towards them dethroning City, who have stumbled in December, and lifting a first league title since 1990. However, Klopp took a dim view of suggestions this is the defining game of the season and his opinion of City’s status in world football has not been altered by Liverpool leapfrogging them in the…

The internet has been largely divided since Chelsea announced the signing of the American 20-year-old youngster, Christian Pulisic, from Borussia Dortmund for a hefty £58 million transfer fee. Welcome to Chelsea, @cpulisic_10! https://t.co/bgiLbAtXrl — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) January 2, 2019 Now, before we get into the article, let us agree that Chelsea and Pulisic will benefit immensely from this deal as he is such an impressive young talent in the world football at the moment. Pulisic is not the finished product yet. It’s probably a gamble that Chelsea has taken for an extremely talented player. The last time Chelsea spent big money on a prodigal 20-year-old…

Suicidal cases as a result of depression seem to be making the news frequently, and require a considerable level of attention, as a number of lives keep crossing the cold valley of death. Unlike poverty, that most times leaves the stomach crying and begging for food, depression is a battle of the mind, where anything and everything is either light or dark. What seems to be the bigger problem now is how those who should give hope, reassure and stand as a formidable pillar have now transformed into one of the elements that have continued to see persons lose identity…

The General Overseer, The  Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Monday night refrained from giving straightforward prophesies for 2019 for fear that politicians might twist the prophecies to suit their purposes. While preaching during the evening service to herald the new year, the cleric said when enquiring from God what 2019 held in stock, he expressed fear that “if you (God) tell me, and I tell them, it could be twisted; in Nigeria, this is an election year, and anything I say will be twisted by politicians.” Adeboye said God, however,  said  the prophecies would be coded…

The year 2018 was a memorable one for many reasons and it was also the year in which the Ronaldo-Messi duopoly for the Ballon d’Or was ended by Luka Modric. Although Modric won the Ballon d’Or, the year will be remembered for some outstanding performances by forwards from across Europe’s Top 5 leagues. For instance, Mohamed Salah broke the record for most goals in a 38-game Premier League season by scoring 32 goals in the 2017/18 season and Kylian Mbappe quickly went from promising youngster to one of the best players in the world. While the likes of Mbappe, Salah and Griezmann…
