Fear gripped Chelsea World as Benteke finally crash landed the hopes of a rebound by José Mourinho's men as the fell 1:3 to the Liverpool Team.

José Mourinho feels the wrought of Liverpool as Mourinho fails the test again.

Some Chelsea Fans not majority anyway, demands the head of José Mourinho.

Do you think he should go or He should stay ? 

Let's read your view..

Lakers 2015-16 season preview: Kobe Bryant looks to win and possibly pass the torch at the same time



When the Lakers arrived at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas earlier this month, they were given the sort of welcome typically reserved for prize fighters and pop stars.

The hotel and casino was blanketed in signage announcing their preseason game Oct. 13. Fans in team apparel snapped selfies with the gilded lion in the lobby, which was fitted in its own gold Lakers jersey.

This is the treatment to which the 16-time champions have become accustomed, even after the worst two-year stretch in franchise history.

There was, however, one key difference from past October visits to Sin City.

The ubiquitous billboards showed Julius Randle with his hands on his hips, and D’Angelo Russell and Jordan Clarkson each positioned behind one of his shoulders.

What Isn't Right With Chelsea FC This Season?






What Isn't Right With Chelsea FC This Season?

Jose Mourinho presumably didn't visualize it would be like this.The Portuguese saw his Chelsea side win two titles last season, crushing the Premier League's different heavyweights in a way that intimidated most clubs.

With Diego Costa a moment hit in the attack and Cesc Fabregas doing his best midfield expert skills, the Blues were near on relentless, not slightest, amid running described by the guarded strength of Mourinho's first team at Stamford Bridge. 

So what went wrong?
The greater part of the players had a full summer off to rest and recovered. Chelsea marked Pedro, frustrating Manchester United. Certainly, Petr Cech and Filipe Luis were sold, yet there had all the squad of being a threat.

After ten games, the champions end up down in fifteen. The loss to the West Ham last Saturday was their fifth of the campaign in this way, Chelsea also ranked as having the worst defense this season.

They had a poor pre-season as far as planning, they returned a week later as Mourinho needed them to recover later in the season to stop them coming up short on gas like the last season.  
In any case, they headed out to the States and returned undercooked, and that set up their poor begin and got them into their current situation. 

Secondly They didn't purchase enough. They didn't simply require substitutions - they required fortifying to a maturing squad that additionally had shortcomings in key territories last season, similar to having a good striker and midfield. They didn't have a depth of value to challenge on more than one front. 

Chelsea players are out of a structure. I've never seen Cesc Fabregas play so poorly. Diego Costa has quit battling. Also, that is by all accounts an issue all through the squad. The old Chelsea would be battling amongst themselves after this series of results. The truth of the matter is, they've not indicated a lot of an interest in the field to remedy the situation. One wonder if the players are still loyal toMourinho like they used to. 

There is by all accounts a total absence of confidence in the midst of Mourinho and his players. It appears that key players no more hold their coach with the same respect they once did and were no more driven by him. 

There is an ideal opportunity to cure the circumstance, obviously, yet the fall in structure has been ridiculous. Recently, there were bits of gossip about a fight between John Terry and Costa.Chelsea's structure is down to various reasons, as I would see it. 
Defensively they are weak, having conceded more than 15 goals in their games, and any combination of Cahill, Terry, and Ivanovic just haven't had the same effect as last season. 

Essentially, Chelsea is experiencing the same issues Manchester City had 12 months prior. They neglected to refresh their squad this late transfer window from their status as champions while rivals City spent enormously on any players like Sterling, De Bruyne, and Otamendi. 

Again like City a year prior, their big names were not performing same with Chelsea this season, players like Hazard, Costa, Fabregas, Matic, Terry, and Ivanovic have been poor. 
Chelsea's absence of huge name signings was somewhat why Jose Mourinho started the season poorly. 

Can they hold their title? Actually no, not having given City a 12-point favorable position, despite the fact that there are still 30 games to go. 

Mourinho is Chelsea's greatest resource - as he demonstrated last season - additionally their greatest liability - as he is demonstrating now. 
When he is upbeat, Chelsea perform and succeed. When he is not, he grows strife and insecurity. 

The title is gone, and history has all the earmarks of being repeating itself because the happenings of the most recent month were initially played out in August and September 2007, coming full circle in his flight.  Mourinho says it won't happen once more. However, he needs to quit battling with everybody and spotlight on making Chelsea victorious once more. 

 They are way behind Manchester City and Arsenal, 11 points off as of now,  They are not playing admirably and they'll need to concentrate on all games. 

Notwithstanding I still tip Chelsea to complete the season second or third and win the Champions League. 

Try not to bet against it.  Am persuaded they will overcome this phase. Smiles.....

Lewis Hamilton Wins It. First British driver to defend his championship




Lewis Hamilton won his third Formula One world championship as he triumphed in a chaotic United States Grand Prix on Sunday.

The Englishman’s 10th win of the season put him alongside Sir Jackie Stewart with three titles but he is the first British driver to defend his championship.

Hamilton needed to beat his closest challenger, Sebastian Vettel, by nine points and his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg by two, and he did precisely that. 

Congrats Lewis.



Sepp Blatter Says Orji Uzor Kalu Is Extremely Qualified

FIFA Presidency: Sepp Blatter supports Orji Uzor Kalu 



Suspended FIFA president Sepp Joseph Blatter has announced his backing for previous Nigerian Abia state Governor Dr Orji Uzor Kalu to win the position of FIFA President.

Talking in Zurich, Blatter explained that the position of the FIFA president is too critical to be left to simply anyone. 
He said he knew about a few hopefuls who want to assume the position from him. 
Blatter said he discovered the Businessman from Nigeria Orji Uzor Kalu extremely qualified and intriguing because he is a specialist, as well as a former government official with loads of contacts and corporate experience. He believes Uzor Kalu can convey his incredible encounters to shoulder in the running of world football. 

Blatter seems to be excited about Kalu; the suspended Fifa President recalled how he supported one of Nigerian clubs to win the CAF title twice. Blatter is confident Kalu would take world football to a much better level if he wins. Blatter said however Kalu had not formally proclaimed his interest.

Good to see Blatter supporting an African aspirant. However we think Kalu would find this contest a tough one, few days ago NFF (Nigerian Football Federation) publicly supported Segun Odegbami instead of Kalu. Then last Friday Tokyo Sexwale, South African business person says he plans to be a contestant in the FIFA presidential election and would submit his application before the deadline.With this development, one is forced to wonder what would be Kalu's chances. 

Nevertheless, we think with Kalu Africa stands a superior chance, it is to the greatest advantage of Africa to elect someone with profound energy for world football.  If Africa would like to win the backing of different leagues, then they must line behind the African represnstaives.

 CAF is relied upon to meet one week from now to settle on a contender for the decision planned for one year from now. So far only three competitors competing for the post from Africa; Orji Uzor Kalu, Segun Odegbami and Tokyo Sexwale.

Nigerian or South African? who would you love to represent Africa in the Fifa presidential election ?

 DID I MISS ANY PLAYER?  
If I DID, PLEASE SHARE ON THE COMMENT SECTION. 

Anthony Martial The Next Rooney.



Anthony Martial the Next Rooney.

 Anthony Martial current form and never ending goals this season is overshadowing club leader Wayne Rooney. 19-year-old Anthony Martial is presently the club's most lethal goal poacher in ahead of Wayne Rooney.

Last Wednesday's' Champions League game, Anthony Martial proved he was a player to look out for this season, although he offered the Russians side CSKA Moscow a goal chance after the referee had judged he handled the ball in the 18-yard-box. However, Anthony equalized with a delicious header in a 1-1 draw with CSKA Moscow.


The 19 years Marital didn't come to Manchester with a largest track record for being a huge goal-scorer.But the young lad is sure proving to be a threat to opponents thus far.. 

Having Anthony score is beautiful for Manchester, who had struggled for two seasons now but sure would be a great deal of pressure on Ronney, who isn't finding the back of the net as often these days as he uses to seasons before.

Some also think the French youngsters's record is already way better than that of Christian Ronald at Manchester United.

We keep an eye on MARITAL !!!!!

Yaya Nags Again....








Yaya Toure says he is annoyed he isn't getting the appreciation he feels he warrants in England.

Honestly, am forced to ask, What does Yaya need? Yaya claims he hasn't got enough recognition for urging Manchester City to two Premier League titles and FA Cup and Capital One Cup triumphs since his £24m move from Barcelona in 2010.
Alright, hang tight, aren't you paid to win trophies?

Moreover, the 32-year-old is so enraged by this, that he doesn't need any of his kids incorporated into football.

Toure said: "I needn't bother with them to experience everything that I have experienced. It has hurt me.

"Looking at for them - that is the thing that I told the missus. You know, everyone assumes I am cheery: I have won titles, stores of money, in any case, no, I am not happy."

Toure was one of City's star men two seasons former when he hit 24 goals to assist his team winning the Barclay Cup and Capital One Cup

Toure said he scored 12 goals paying little mind to the way he exited the club to join his national team that was playing in the African Cup of Nations; he was out for around two months, yet everybody censures him for not scoring the same number of goals as last season?

Yaya also said he Scored 24 goals, 20 in the Premier League (in 2014/14), and nobody said it. No affirmation, no trophy, nothing. He is despised.

"Here (in England), when it is loathsome, they push it, when it's incredible, they leave that in the jail. They have always used their little schedules to trouble me, to separation me.


"Us, the Africans, when we do awesome work, we are happy to be rewarded for that. When we get recognized for our real worth, we advance further. That is the thing that I accept.

"For a couple reasons. in 2010 When I came to City, I heard numerous people say, here, that I was going to murder football!

The Ivorian went ahead to remind us when he left Barcelona; he wasn't regularly playing yet English press anticipated that he would come and begin scoring "The press were talking about my pay and saying that it was a disrespect to other players.

Ok, Enough Yaya !!! you beginning to sound like a spoilt baby, What exactly do you need? People are getting tired of your constant recognition nagging. Just play football already, please.

Your thoughts, Yaya to get more recognition, or should Toure just play football and give this appreciation talks a rest?

Why Always Mourinho, 181,000 Pounds?


FA rejects Jose Mourinho's English claim

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho faulted an absence of English dialect abilities in the wake of blaming the referee for being "apprehensive" to give Chelsea its desired penalty.

Mourinho got a one-match stadium suspension and a £50,000 fine by the Football Association for saying authorities were one-sided.

The Portuguese has painted the fine as a "disrespect".


Mourinho's case developed after the FA discharged the composed purposes behind the choice of an independent commission.

Wenger likewise got suspended in the wake of pushing Mourinho at the Stamford Bridge in October 2014.


Mourinho likewise endeavored to contest that his remarks were post-match with pressures running high. However, the board decided that was "no reason".


Mourinho's £50,000 recent fine is the seventh time he has been fined by the FA for ten years, with those disciplines totaling £181,000.


£181,000? US Dollar 280,111,  in Nigerian Naira it's 55,712,152. Mourinho sure needs to watch what he says.


Mourinho is an experience manager with trophies to show for it, he is a confident man, we totally understand most times some people would mistake his confidence as arrogance. Its really sad he is always getting into trouble with the FA.


So, should the Chelsea boss consider filtering his words before he lets them out? or should he just keep saying his mind, after all its a free world. 

Making Mourinho to stop talking, will make the premier league boring. Don't we all look forward to hear him speak? it's like a love and hate feeling for the chelsea boss. 
But what do you think?

Pep Guardiola To Replace Wenger ?

Pep Guardiola To Replace Wenger ?





Pep Guardiola holds every one of the cards. He is the object of longing for the world's top clubs, and his Bayern Munich side come to London this week with the swagger of a group that has delivered a nine-diversion record-breaking 100 percent begin to the Bundesliga.
Six Champions League trophies- instead of Arsenal's none - make the consecutive ties against the English club somewhat less restricting than they may have looked when the draw was made.

For Arsene Wenger, the Champions League season is at stake. In the event that things go gravely, the Frenchman may be thinking about leaving the Europa League before November is out.

As he lurks the Emirates specialized zone, the 44-year-old Guardiola may envision how it will feel in a year's opportunity when he could be a Premier League supervisor. With this season officially looking like a parting goodbye season with the Bavarian side, the Catalan has English clubs lining at his entryway and Arsenal is believed to be one of them.

Manchester City is every now and again connected with Guardiola. Manuel Pellegrini's age (62) and the presence of Ferran Soriano as CEO at the Etihad and Txiki Begiristain as an executive of football give a simple Barcelona association. It may not end up being that basic.

Amid his vacation in the wake of leaving Barca in 2012, Guardiola went to New York to consider his future. In broad daylight, he said little. Secretly, he talked about favoring clubs with history, groups with custom.

Bayern was on the short shortlist. That position was accessible in the spring of 2013. The other two clubs he loved were thought to have unfaltering symbols in the burrow. Nobody could have realized that inside of weeks of Guardiola considering the employment in Germany that Sir Alex Ferguson would venture down at Manchester United. His senses were right about the other club he fancied, however: Wenger stays responsible for Arsenal.

Wenger is 65 yet hints at few backing off. He is under contract until 2017 and can be secretive while talking about whether his contract would extend after that.
Am sure seeing Guardiola on the sidelines at the Emirates ought to be desired in a couple minds in the North London club.

The sympathy toward Arsenal is that Wenger's 19 seasons have made a kingdom as opposed to a line, a domain where the ruler has characterized the parameters of achievement. Consider this from Wenger at Arsenal's Annual General Meeting a week ago: "We have 18 successive years in the Champions League qualified." He places this in connection by referring to one of the European mainland's super powers. "One and only club in Europe, Real Madrid, has improved 19." Real, obviously, have won the opposition four times in that period.

To be reasonable to Wenger, he went ahead to say qualifying was "insufficient," but rather there has been a sense around the club that completing in the main four in the Premier League and thus among the main cash workers is achievement enough. A nine-year incline spell in flatware finished a year ago, yet progressive FA Cup wins are a bit of disappointing for a club like Arsenal.


Guardiola seems to be the man that Arsene Wenger would recommend. He will carry out his specialty in the Premier League one year from now. The following TV bargain that kicks in will give even the unassuming center workers of England's top flight the related money capability to rival any semblance of Bayern. For the first class - and Wenger has verified Arsenal will be among those at the top table - will have access to wealth that just Real Madrid and Barcelona could like to match.

Guardiola holds the cards. However, Wenger has the keys to the Emirates. Pretty much the main thing that can stain the Frenchman's legacy is picking the perfect time and the ideal individual to pass the coaching mantle.

On the off chance that he could consider Guardiola to be more than an adversary and a potential successor, it would be a masterstroke. Since somehow, the Catalan will be back at the Emirates next season - either as a companion or an enemy.



So, Arsenal Fans would you love to see Pep Guardiola as Arsenal Coach, when Arsene Wenger retires?
