EPL 2019/20 - Game Week 32 - We Are The Champions!!!

2019/2020 EPL Champions! We Are The Champions!!!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXw8CRapg7k  (Queen) Liverpool are the English Premier League Champions!!! Because of their battling qualities, consistent results and winning mentality, the title was wrapped up even before they kick a ball as defending champions Manchester City were defeated 1-2 at Stamford Bridge. With seven games remaining, it is the earliest any side has ever won the Premier League title with  the Reds leading by a phenomenal 23 points! If Liverpool secure 15 more points from their remaining games, they will set another new record. They can also be the first team to win every home match in a single season.  Ironically, their next match would be against Manchester City at the Etihad and will be given a guard of honour in this fixture by  the gracious Pep Guardiola and his boys. Even the unprecedented CoVid19 pandemic could not stopped them. Some rival fans have absurdly and contin...

EPL 2019/20 - Game Week 31

The return of the EPL did seemed a bit strange after a long lay off. First of all, the empty stadiums and the fake crowd noise seemed like canned laughter in a TV comedy sitcom. Then it also produced some lackadaisical performances. Arsenal succumbed so easily to Manchester City at the Etihad. Tottenham v Manchester United (1-1), Watford v Leicester (1-1) toiled and drew their matches. Arsenal completed their misery when they lost 1-2 at Brighton to a 95th minute goal by Maupay.  West Ham crumbled 0-2 at home to Wolves, Bournemouth suffered the same fate at home to Crystal Palace (0-2), Sheffield United, so confident with an almost impregnable defence, battling midfield and forward line that usually score that one winning goal to win matches floundered at Newcastle (0-3) where Stevens fell over the ball when he attempted to clear it to comical effect. It was like us coming back to play after a few years lay off. Everton denied and delayed Liverpool's joy in their Mer...

EPL 2019/20 - Game Week 30

Welcome back! To life. Back to life, back to reality. Our history, memories, our love's enough to transcend us through space and time. Life is all about space and time ain't it? Do you have the space and the time for others?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z1Gx3DYVqs  (Back To Life - Hailee Steinfeld) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB54dZkzZOY  (Back To Life - Soul II Soul) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YxaaGgTQYM  (Bring Me To Life - Evanescence) I hope all of you are well.  Sports and soccer would be nothing without the fans. It also brings us back to appreciate the front line workers at the hospitals, the food delivery, logistics people and cleaners. Appreciation cannot be empty words only or it would be meaningless. We should appropriately reward them. As if not enough with the unprecedented deadly pandemic, we are seeing riots, looting, police brutality and racism rearing their ugly heads. Humanity's ugliness lies in its selfishness in a...
