I penned this article for SG50 but decided not to release it on the day because the press and social media has already been pouring out with an overdose. Overkill is a better word as even fish cakes have SG50 on it which does not make sense as it meant that you actually have less fish cake as they trimmed off fish cake in the middle to create SG50. No matter what, some folks would scream "propaganda" which is true. Tell me which country or group do not have propaganda? To tell you the truth, there are more Amos Yee out there then you know, it is just that there are smaller versions of him. People including adults who spoke like him or worse, difference being they did not put it on Youtube. Amos do have some good points at times but it is the way he has chosen to express himself that is the problem. Also he needs to use his voice better or he sounds like the Chipmunks. At the end of the day, his talents can be put to better use and once he gets no attention things will be n...

What a season this is going to be! It has never been better. Stoke 2 Manchester United 0, Liverpool 1 Leicester City 0, Chelsea 2 Watford 2, Southampton 4 Arsenal 0! Wow!  https://www.facebook.com/premierleague/videos/1242662372424842/?pnref=story West Ham v Liverpool - For a start, the Hammers are more consistent than Liverpool or anyone else. 5 draws in a row, two of them 1-1 and three 0-0 followed by a good 2-1 win over Southampton. Liverpool are facing a physical Hammers side at Upton Park with Andy Carroll a big threat in set pieces - Liverpool's chink in the armour but Klopp's side silenced league leaders Leicester City last week and kept a clean sheet against the prolific pair of Vardy and Mahrez. Liverpool leads 3-2 in win/loss (no draw) when they previously met but the last time in August and at Anfield, Liverpool got a real 0-3 spanking. Liverpool must win this one if they want to be a serious top four contender plus they need to summon their best to address th...

It is incredible how quickly a year has almost gone by. By and large, the world has forgotten what Christmas is all about except for merry-making and lots of commercial shopping. I mean what would it be like if everyone would help to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, help the poor and stop the wars regardless or creed, status or race.  After having achieved all these and then we can sit down and argue about religion all day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf8db3Vz95I (This Is Christmas - Celine Dion) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifCWN5pJGIE (Mary Did You Know? - Pentatonix They tell you that all women and also men should look very slim or need to beautify through various ways including botox and plastic surgery but one one is interested to upgrade their character of their soul even if you provide free lessons. What if one were to stare into a mirror and see your character instead of your face or body? Scary isn't it? Even when people go to a place of worship, ...

We are at the half way mark. It is during this period that some teams may flounder. Take heart, after all, t is the season to be jolly. It is hard work in the EPL after Christmas. This is the period that could break teams. Arsenal have a great opportunity as the others like Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea are not doing as well. I do not doubt Leicester City but they have a smaller squad and I pray that they do not suffer injuries or suspension or loss of form especially to Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez. They have other good players but the squad is thin and not as deep. Who will still be jolly? Norwich v Aston Villa - Villa are the Canaries bogey team. This one thing is clear. The last 5 times they have met Norwich never won. In their last 2 away matches Villa earned 2 draws while Norwich went to Old Trafford and won. Can Villa show enough resistance to get something here or will the home team be further inspired? This Christmas period can break teams. Norwich would ...

Tis been a great season in the EPL. Shining brightly is Leicester City who almost got relegated not so long ago and now playing fearless, exciting, attacking soccer. They may even be the best counter attacking team in the league. It is such a  joy to watch Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy play each week. Every neutral must admit you want this dream to last. While Petr Cech may be doing a good job at Arsenal, few people knew that the top goalkeeper in the league now is a 22 year old Englishman called Jack Butland who plays for Stoke and is one of the reasons Stoke are doing better for his saves.  Meanwhile, Manchester United Theatre of Dreams is turning into a nightmare. Just know that their best player all season thus far is defender Chris Smalling who is finally at the peak of his powers. Everton's John Stones has a very bright future. He is so calm and effective, no wonder bigger clubs like Chelsea valued him so highly. You do fear that Riyad Mahrez may be prised away and M...

Arsene Wenger is smiling for he is definitely not a specialist in failure. Manuel Pelligrini has faltered and fell short at times but his City never compromised on style and attacking football. Manchester United have completely lost their aura and swagger. Louis van Gaal is  not the man for the Red Devils. Mauricio Pochettino will bring Tottenham places. Juergen Klopp may be a little mad at times but he is not stupid to celebrate a 2-2 home draw to WBA. But Jose Mourinho? Imagine a 2 million pound team beating one that is worth 300 million pounds. Anthony Martial alone costs maybe more than Bournemouth. Jamie Vardy (1 million) and Riyadh Mahrez (400,000) cost a combined fee of 1.4 million pounds and together have scored more goals than Man United. Diego Costa cost Chelsea more than the Leicester team perhaps. To have Bournemouth (bet you can't even pronounce the name) beating both Manchester United and Chelsea in succession and Newcastle that looked so hopeless beating Liverpool a...

Ping  Ping is an illustrious golf company founded by the late Karsten Solheim and he gave us a great dimension in golf known as perimeter weighting first introduced in putters which Ping made the Anser putter that nobody wanted until Julius Boros won the PGA Tour's Phoenix Open in 1967. The "Anser" was actually meant to be the Answer but there isn't enough space on the putter so he took away the 'w' to save space on the advice of his wife. He so named the company from the sound the putter made on impact - "Ping". I like such history. He tells the story of human endeavours through the passage of time. He went on to create golf irons baed on the same principle of perimeter weighting and of course what were to follow in other equipment such a drivers, woods, hybrids, wedges and even more putters. Ping has a following of fans and has one of the best if not the best club-fitting systems in the world and they proceed to produce your irons after you have ...
