Pre Independence Edition

Good evening my wonderful friends

As we approach Independence Day,let us learn to be thankful to the people who gave freedom to us that we are enjoying today.Let us not celebrate in vain.

Apologies for only blogging now.It's been a busy few weeks with the internship as well as my research project.Anyway there's a lot of football to look forward to this weekend.There's the EL Clasico on Sunday night between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid,That's going to be a cracker of a match,

There's also Liverpool v Man Utd at Anfield.It could decide a lot in the race for 4th place in the EPL and considering recent form,I see a Liverpool win.

The draw for the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League brought some interesting ties including the all Madrid tie between Athletico and Real Madrid.Other one is PSG v Barca.Will PSG gain revenge?There's only one way to find out.Watch from April 14 to April 22.Other games are Bayern v Porto, Juventus v Monaco

Here are my predictions for this weekend's games:
Liverpool3-2 Man Utd
Hull0-2Chelsea
FC Barcelona 3-2Real Madrid

UCL I predict that Barca, Bayern,Juve and Athlètico will be in the semis

You think otherwise? Feel free to leave a comment behind

Thanks and good night

Chelsea v Everton:Kai Havertz impresses in crucial win for the Blues

 Good evening everyone I hope you are well and having a good start to the week. Sorry for the radio silence. It has been a busy couple of weeks, but I'm back now. After winning at Anfield against Liverpool on Thursday night, Chelsea earned a much needed win against Merseyside team Everton on Monday night. The victory puts the Blues in touching distance of Leicester City (3 points) and Manchester United (4 points). So thats 9 games unbeaten in the league for Thomas Tuchel, who has definitely turned things around at Stamford Bridge since his arrival in January.  One  of the positive elements on Monday night was the performance of Kai Havertz. The big money signing from Bayer Leverkusen has flattered to deceive this season but the arrival of the German tactician has definitely improved his performances. Despite not scoring (well his goal was awarded as a Ben Godfrey own goal), he played really well as a false 9 along with fellow countryman Werner, who could have scored a hat...

Champions League: What a week of drama

Image
  Copyright fr.uefa.com Good afternoon everyone I hope you are all well and enjoying the last few weeks of the summer holidays,albeit in difficult circumstances. So the UEFA Champions League made its return 2 weeks ago with 2nd leg ties that still  needed to be played like Chelsea v Bayern Munich, Lyon v Juventus and Manchester City v Real Madrid and boy were there surprises with Lyon making it past the Italian Champions despite a 2-1 defeat and of course the end of Maurizio Sarri's tenure as head coach. Bayern Munich and Man City qualifying werent really shocks as the damage was done in the 1st leg, at least for Chelsea but thats not the exciting part.So for the first time ever 2 French teams in the semis and PSG's first semi final appearance since 1995.  Last Wednesday saw PSG come from behind to defeat Atlanta 2-1 with Marquinhos and Choupo-Moting gettting the goals. Credit to the French champions for digging in deep and not giving up. Now they have a semi final date w...

Chelsea v Southampton: 2 points dropped by the Blues

Image
 Good afternoon everyone  I hope you're well and had a good weekend. So what a dramatic weekend of football we had starting with the Merseyside derby and it continued with Chelsea-Southampton which finished 3-3 after the Saints managed to grab a point at the death thanks to Vestergaard. Once again Chelsea fail to kill off a match and this will cost them dearly come end of the season. Where do I begin? oh yes the defence. With Mendy injured, Kepa was put in the starting XI to prove his worth to the coach and he failed the test. With Thiago Silva being left out with Sevilla to come in midweek it was the duo Zouma-Christiansen and I wasnt convinced one bit. Thankfully Lamaprd will be able to call on him for tomorrow's match and with Man United to come at the weekeend,it'll be interesting to see which team he sends out tomorrow night at the Bridge.Glad that Werner got a double and Havertz scored as well. Hopefully this is the beginning of great things to come. Sevilla will also...
