According to report, Wycombe Striker Akinfenwa was racially abused by some fans at a league game between Wycombe and Cambridge and the striker is clearly not happy about the incident, with referee acknowledging it on his match report. The game which Wycombe won,  saw the striker taking to his twitter page to show his displeasure while also sending out a message about kicking-out racism. The twitter message reads: "Good 3pts 2day, great support again. It's a shame that a small group of Cambridge fans focus on colour rather than the game #KickOutRacism."

Bellerin is without doubt, the fastest and best defender in the English Premier League ( I stand to be corrected anyway), and it is not a surprise to see that he has been attracting interests from clubs around Europe. The defender has been ruled out for four weeks, but sensing a possibility of Barcelona getting a hold on the defender, the London side, has given the defender a much more better contract package that is too good to turn down, which the player have since signed, closing all interests from other clubs, especially Barcelona.

Manchester United Manager Jose Mourinho, despite his departure from London to Manchester, his still having problem closing his two eyes at night, without a thought of Arsene Wenger running through his mind...Lol The two met over the weekend, and the game which United clearly needed a win, and lost in the closing minutes, by a Giroud header, sees Jose Mourinho clearly still hurt from that, and calling out the Gunners boss seems to be his only way of healing from that lost!

Marcos Alonso who along with his Chelsea team mates have been in great form, is set to face a much more tougher challenge in Tottenham, and the blues defender feels Chelsea would have had much more rest before the game and that is one advantage Chelsea would have over Spurs. Tottenham is the only team in the English Premier League that are still unbeaten, winning six games and drawing six, while Chelsea has won their six last games, without conceding a single goal.

Arsenal fans showed their displeasure, as one of their own who is on-loan at Middlesbrough, asked Diego, a Chelsea player for a shirt!...lol But I do not blame the player though, as his performance against Diego Costa was really good, and showed he is a different player with Middlesbrough, than he was at Arsenal. That said, I think Arsenal fans do not really have that believe in their team anylonger, as few of them secretly admire other teams in the Premier League, but are too scared to express their support in public... Seeing Chambers asking for a shirt from Chelsea player, did not come as a surprise to me.... clearly showing his love for Costa, and probably Chelsea....see some of the tweets from Arsenal fans...lol

Janet Jackson who earlier in the year, announced her pregnancy, has been out of public eye after the announcement.  Even when her ex-husband came out to say they have a “secret daughter” she or her publicist did not put out any statement regarding that, until suddenly she appeared on her twitter handle to deliver a message to her fans. If she has put to bed, we definitely cannot tell, but according to media source the singer is planning a pick a name for her child to pay tribute to her late brother...we might be seeing Michael Jackson soon...see the tweet:

The Keeping Up with the Kardashian star, and wife of Kanye West, Kim Kardashian West, has been praising her brother Rob and wife Blac Chyna for their new born. Kim has also showed her love for the baby, saying this was the first time for years now, she has seen her brother Rob genuinely happy, thank God for baby Dream. she said. According to a close source, who spoke to the media, the source was quoted to have said: “Kim takes her job as an aunt very seriously,”  “Kim was excited to spend time with Dream. She loves babies and thinks Dream is the cutest.”

Chelsea are the most improved team in the English Premier League this season, considering where they finished last season. Their impressive run and not conceding in five games now, says alot about the new Chelsea under new Italian manager, Conte.  This form according to Chelsea play-maker, Hazard, was due to the heavy beating they suffered in the hands of Arsenal. Hazard speaking on the form of Chelsea said, after the defeat at the emirate in the hands of Arsenal, that was a turning point in Chelsea, as they build on the defeat, to be the top contenders in the league, and no team wants to play them in the form they are now. He said:  ‘everything changed after the Arsenal clash’

Yaya Toure who got a surprised call up to the first team of Pep Guardiola’s team in their away game against Crystal Palace today, and scored a brace to take Man.City to second in the league table, has earned the praised of his coach with his outstanding performance. Although Yaya Toure earned his way into the team, I still do not think he was called up to the team by manager Pep Guardiola, because he is more better (on current form) than others who were deliberately  left on the bench. But I think he was called up because of the decision to rest other players for the crucial champions league...Yaya should be in that team if they really want to go far both in the league and in the Champions league...He has shown what he is made of today. Pep Guardiola while speaking at his post-match interview, said:

The goal came in at 98 th minutes, and it was a well taken cross from Arsenal’s Chamberlain, after beating Rashford for Giroud to net home the equaliser. The Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho seeing the way Rashford was easily beaten by Alex Chamberlain at that time of the match, was furious with the player, and hit hard at the player at his post match interview...am sure Rashford himself will not be pleased with those words coming from his manager... Mourinho after the game said:   ‘The only time we had a situation that we couldn’t resolve they scored a goal, so they were the lucky ones and we were the unlucky ones,’

The re-introduction of the once “engine-room” of the Manchester City team into Pep Guardiola’s team, Yaya Toure, came as a surprise to many. After reports in some news media reported that there is no way Yaya could make it back into the team, following his agent reluctance to apologies to manager Pep...well, seems the two have settled their differnces, as Yaya Toure got to place his first game under Pep, capping it with two vital goals for City.

The game againt Arsenal, for Jose Mourinho was a very disappointing one, as his team gave away precious three points to draw the game in the dying minutes of the game. After getting ahead in the second half, with Mata beautiful outside foot hit, Jose Mourinho side gained full control of the game, while breaking up Arsenal’s attempts to play their through passes to their forward players. But the tactics did not last much, as once again, Olivier Giroud came from bench to head home an equaliser for the Gunners to take home a point from Jose Mourinho’s team. Jose Mourinho who had earlier pointed a finger at his players for defending poorly, said at the post match interview when asked about the result, said:

Following all the “bad press” surrounding the build up to today's game between Manchester United and Arsenal and the much talked and televised rift between both managers. Arsene Wenger not to be put on the spot, have said what seems to be like an apology either to the FA or Arsenal fans or maybe Jose Mourinho, but we cannot tell, just so the press can get over themselves about his records with Jose Mourinho. He   said: “I make mistakes in my life, and I regret everyone I make, believe me. I would have loved to have a life without any mistakes. But unfortunately I am not even sure that Jesus did that.”

The one player that have played in the top three London clubs (Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs), has revealed his best and most memorable time in football, and club where he enjoyed playing the game of football. William Gallas who is a former French International and a World Cup winner, while granting an interview, said his time at Chelsea was his best, as he won something at the club, and he was taught the “winning mentality” at the club.

This is definitely not a good time for Americans, especially African-Americans (whatever that word means), and all those tagged “illegal” in the US, as the just concluded Presidential election that saw Donald Trump win against Clinton’s popular votes, has seen pro-Trump supports venting their hate speech on minorities in the state...the Obamas are also not left out... The latest one is that of a West Virginia mayor who was alleged to have resign, after calling out Michelle Obama, posting in her facebook page that the first lady is an “ape on heels” and she is tired of seeing her face at the White house...

The English premier league is here again, and the game we all have been waiting for (except for Wenger and Arsenal fans) is here, and is Manchester United and Arsenal...with Jose Mourinho at the other end... The two managers as usual, have spoken out about the match, and their rivalry, with the Arsenal manager calling out Jose Mourinho, saying he should allow a “beautiful game” and give football fans what they want to see, while Jose Mourinho who will never let such things go without giving his own reply, said Wenger should respect his achievement... Jose Mourinho while at the press conference for the game, said:

Yes, I was also shocked to hear that from not just an “ordinary person” but from a Sport minister of a nation, like Nigeria.  Even Republic of Chad as small as that country is, would “kill” to be at the FIFA world cup...I thought I Saw him at the Akwa Ibom stadium celebrating Nigeria’s victory over Algeria during the World Cup Qualifiers...yeye dey smell...Nigeria Trump minister! The minister who was alleged to have made that statement that he was against Nigeria Super Eagles participating in the world cup, on an interview he granted to of Voice America, was quoted to have said:

This news got me thinking, as i have been guilty in several occasion, charging my phone on top of my bed, and most times on my pillow just to avoid vibration in case it rings... With this st ory, I now better now not to place my phone on top of my bed while charging (though, I have had stories of phone explosions before now, but with this, I have to be more careful now)... Caitlin Rae Durant, a 15-year-old from Morfa Bychan in north Wales,  was reported to have got her room and some part of her parents building burnt down just for charging her phone.

Jose Mourinho’s United   have not been having it easy for over a month now, as they have struggled between games, and their current form could hurt the club if cares are not taken. United risked losing over £21million  in their £750m kit deal with Adidas, if they fail to finish in the top four this season. They finished fifth last season under former boss Louis van Gaal, with his successor Jose Mourinho under huge pressure to deliver a top-four finish this term at the very least.

The game between Manchester United and Arsenal has always been one of the games in the English Premier league that football fans all over the world look up to, as both teams have supports that cut across continents. The game will be the first time Jose Mourinho and Wenger would meet for the first time, as United manager, and if the Premier record or edge Jose Mourinho have over Arsenal’s manager, would continue come Saturday, all depend on the players...

  After he suffered one of his heaviest defeat in the hands of his former club Chelsea, Jose Mourinho is to come against Arsene Wenger   this weekend, and a former Arsenal player says the football world, cannot wait for Wenger to finally “beat” Jose Mourinho in the Premier league. Going into the game, both teams have to win, as a defeat for either side could see them drop some points and give the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and City the opportunity the chance to extend their lead on the top of the log.

Hours after being called out by McGregor, Mayweather in his cool and collected self, gave a reply not everybody wanted to hear, but that that would surely make fans want the two fighters hit the ring and give them some magic... While replying to McGregor gesture, He simply said: "I tried to make the fight happen between me and Conor McGregor," "We wasn't able to make the fight happen, so we must move on." "I feel honored to be the biggest name in MMA and in boxing and I don't even compete no more,"

The San Antonio yesterday, announced that they will be retiring the Jersey number of one of the greats that ever played the game of basketball, and one of the best player ever played for the San Antonio Spurs Tim Duncan. The team plan to honour him for his time with the them, his contributions to the game and for all his achievements both on and off the court. He has won five Championship rings, 15 time All

If you frame your shirt just for a call up game that was not even a competitive match, just an ordinary friendly, i wonder what you would do if you win the world cup...tattoo the shirt on your body i guess...lol  After earning his call up from his national team Spain, 27-year-old Herrera, just could not hide his joy, as he said after the game that it was all he had wished for, and he would definitely frame his shirt to remember the day.

The English FA in the early hours of today (Wednesday) decided to offer former assistant coach to Big Sam, Gareth Southgate the top English job, after playing a draw with the Spanish national team. Martin Glenn, chief executive of the FA, said: “Gareth is a really strong candidate and clearly after the last four games his candidacy has become much stronger. Not just based on one or two matches, but because of what we’ve seen over the last couple of years. He continues:

The deal which looks like a replacement for the Qatar Airways contract, is for five years, after the Qatar shirts have been under market value for some seasons now, the European giant are turning to Rakuten for revitalization.  The company which is a Japanese e-commerce giant (Rakuten ) are looking to work with Barcelona to boast their  revenues  all over the world, and the company is rumoured to worth about  £5.24bn and this deal could see that amount rise, especially with their focus on the Asian market.

UCF World Champion, Conor McGregor, has been having double fun, as a world and double belt holder, and also a proud father, all in the month of November. But the Champ, who has been in New York partying, has hit out at Floyd, calling him out for a showdown, with the right amount of money.  Wow! this guy must be insane to think he can fight Floyd with all his technical abilities in the ring, and even though, McGregor is a good kick boxing fighter, all what Floyd needs is just one knockout punch and the fight is done!...Floyd is also not that cheap!

The November nemesis is definitely at Arsenal’s door yet again, as key players have been ruled out for injuries, with the Manchester United game just a few days away. Arsenal are without the likes of Hector Bellerin, Sanchez and now Cazorla just added himself to the list of injured players, and Wenger is not too happy about the news.

The Nigerian Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Burutai, has just confirmed the fears of many Nigerians all along, on the real people behind the Boko haram menace , as he today, told a United Nations delegation led by Dr. Ibn Chambas, that most of the Boko Haram terrorists are actually not Nigerians. While receiving the delegation, the Army General was quoted to have said this, while insisting measures are on, to “fish-out” the group and take them out of the country. He said:

Courtois saying in an interview that Manchester United goalkeeper is the best in the league, shows how a gentle man Chelsea goalkeeper is, and although lovers of the English Premier knows that the United keeper is the best, but him saying it, just shows his class! The  Chelsea and Belgium international  who along with De Gea have been linked to Real Madrid, has told those who care to listen that he is happy at Chelsea, and that any interest from other clubs is normal, but he has a contract he has to see through with Chelsea,

Kolo Toure who himself was a former City player, before leaving for Liverpool and now Celtic, is well known to speak his mind (not always clear though). The statement credited to him about the “bad-blood” between Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and his brother Yaya did   not come as a surprise to many. Yaya Toure who has been one of the "engines" behind Manchester City successes in the last years, saw his status at the club reduced to nothing in the hands of new coach, Pep Guardiola, who he had previously had a rift with at Barcelona before coming to City.

According to a media report, Sam Sodje and his three brothers have been alleged to have used £26,000 raised for their charity for personal shopping, as a court hears their case today. The Sam Sodje Sports Foundation was said to have been set up in 2008, to raise some money to help “Nigeran Sport”, and Sam Sodje was reported to be involved in the Foundation during his playing period at Reading in the 2006-2007 season in England.

Jackie Chan who is known worldwide for his action-comedy movies, was honoured with a Oscar award on Saturday after years of making films in the industry. Receiving the award, a very proud Jackie Chan couldn’t hide his joy, as he mounts the stage to receive the award; but not without Tom Hanks who did the honours giving out some thoughts about the great Jackie Chan. Hanks said:

German International Thomas Muller after Germany’s World Cup Qualifier game, in which they won 8-0, criticized Fifa and UEFA saying it was a waste of time playing against San Marino. He said: “I don't understand the point of such uneven games like these, even moreso because of the crowded fixture list. "I understand that for them it is special to play against the world champions, I understand also that they can only defend with tough tackling. "For this reason, though, I wonder if these are not games which bring unnecessary risks.”

I do not know of any City fan or fans, but where ever they are, i do not think they would like the statement from their goal keeper, Bravo... and if you now consider is present form, which is at not really impressive since coming to City, this statement could be a concern for the fans, but definitely not for Pep... Man. City shot-stopper Bravo who came into Manchester City club from Barcelona granted an interview in his native country Chile, that suggest the goal keeper who is about 33-35year-old, might still be in love with his old Club Barcelona.

World Cup winner and German international, Mario Gotze at the weekend, find out time to meet with the Catholic Pope Francis, describing the meeting as the best moment in his life! See his tweet:

All seems not to be well with Luke Shaw and manager Jose Mourinho, and the player is making big plans to dump the club for another in the next transfer market. It has been alleged that United Player, could be leaving the club, following his continued face-off with manager, Jose Mourinho, who he feels does not want him in his team, after all he has done to impress the coach, but the Coach seems to have other plans that clearly excludes him.

Manchester United according to unconfirmed report, are set for another transfer battle with European giant, Real Madrid, as they are calling again for the interest of goal keeper David De Gea. If you could recall, Real Madrid almost took David De Gea, if not for the last minute delay from the Manchester club, in the last day of the transfer market, De Gea would have been a Madrid player, if not for that deliberate  delay from United.

Michy Batshuayi is not the one to mess around with, especially on social media.  The Chelsea forward is one of those that is very active on social media (twitter), so it was not a surprise what happened to a fan who tries to troll him for his inability to make Conte’s first eleven for Chelsea, and the Belgium team during the World Cup qualifier game which they won 8-1. The 23year old who came into the club last transfer market, has been finding it tough to make the team, due to the super form of Diego, and he is not alone on this, as such players as Febregas are also struggling to find their way into the team. See the tweets:

Hazard who is in super form, has been regarded as the one person behind Chelsea’s form this season thus far.  His performance in the world cup qualifier for his country at the weekend, also prove the player has a lot of potential to be one of the greats in world football.   After his poor show last season, and Chelsea missing out of the top four, and the sacking of Jose Mourinho, Chelsea fans did not waste any time to label Hazard, Fabregas and Diego Costa as those that “rats” on manager Jose Mourinho, and his eventual sack from the club. Well, is over some months now, the father to Eden Hazard speaking during the weekend, recalled the incident, and said he did not find it funny watching his son, and seeing that, was disheartening.

The race was tough, as the weather was poor with race track wet and making it difficult for drivers, but Lewis Hamilton and his team mate, were able to see the race through with a one-two finish again this year. All he needed was to keep winning and praying for a slip from his team mate Rosberg, thus far, that prayer is yet to materialize, as Rosberg is doing all he needed to do, just stay second or win a race and the Championship is over

After the announcement of the election results that saw “world and America most hated man” Donald Trump winning, the world saw a different Donald Trump (so we all thought), when he was giving his acceptance speech. He mounted the podium gracefully, with smiles and gave a very nice speech, that kind of gave some people hope, saying maybe he did not meant all that he said during his election campaigns...but watching and listening to him on CBS’s 60minutes chat programme, he is still same man! Donald Trump! . The President elect, when asked about his plans for deportation, he simply said: "What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably two million, it could be even three million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate.”

After some reports in the media yesterday, quoting the Nigerian football senior team (Super Eagles) Captain ,is not been looked at in terms of  first team selection by Conte at Chelsea, because of his decision to represent Nigeria at the just concluded Olympics. Mikel who clearly is trying to stare-clear off controversy, has refuted the claim, by tweeting to put the record straight.  He said what actually the situation is, between him and his Coach at Chelsea. See the statement he just released on his twitter handle:

The Presidential Election of the United State of America, has come and gone, with the Republican candidate Donald Trump defeating his Democrat counterpart Hillary Clinton to the White house. But what most of us do not know is that, unlike some of the elections around the world, or that of Nigeria for instance, the United State Electoral process, especially that to the office of the President and that of the Vice President, is different. I know during the elections, or after the election and the counting of votes, some of us might have come across the usage of  “Electoral College” by some of the politicians or pundits monitoring the elections, and did not really get what it actually meant or means in the election of the United State of America...here is a brief explanation:

The PSG and Italian international   who has been transfer target for many of the English Premier league clubs, feels football is played to be enjoyed, and no player is worth the crazy price tag football clubs place on players this days. The player who was clearly referring to the world most expensive player and Manchester United player, Paul Pogba, said: ‘I am not worth €100 million,’ He said, then went further to say:

According to media report, Rob is now a proud father, after wife, Chyna gave birth to their daughter  Dream Renee Kardashain,  at about 9:18 a.m.U.S time, and the baby was weighing 7 lbs., 5 oz. “She is gorgeous and has tons of hair,” a source tells Enews.

Romelu Lukaku who saw his hope of rejoining Chelsea this summer dashed, has been given the green light to put up a transfer request by his coach, in order for him to realize his dreams. Lukaku who has consistently voice out is desire to return to Chelsea, was sold by the club in 2013 for a club record £27.5million, and can see that dream come true by the next transfer window. Koeman   was quoted to have said this about his most valuable player, Lukaku , when asked about the player’s interest of playing for a bigger club, other than Everton. He said:

Obama who did all he could to help his party and Clinton win the election but failed at the end, has called on President elect, Donald Trump to congratulate him on his victory, and invited him to the white house to plan for transition .  He said while speaking out the white house, that: “One thing you learn in this job is that the Presidency and the Vice Presidency is bigger than any of us.”  “I said regardless of which side you are on in the election, regardless of which candidate won or lost, the sun will come up in the morning. “And that is one bit of prognosticating that actually came true.”   He added: “It’s no secret that the President elect and I have some pretty significant differences. But remember, eight years ago, President Bush and I had some pretty significant differences.

Hillary Clinton who earlier today, called President elect, Donald Trump to congratulate him on his victory, has finally given a speech to thousands of her supporters in Peninsula Hotel in New York. She said: ‘Last night I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him.’ She said she told supporters she hopes Donald Trump will be ‘a successful president for all Americans’. ‘You represent the best of America and being your candidate has been one of the greatest honour of my life’, she told the crowd Clinton added: ‘We must accept this result. Donald Trump is going to be President. We owe him an open mind and a chance to lead. ‘Please, never stop believing that fighting for what’s right is worth it. We need you to keep up these fights now and for the rest of you lives.

In-form Real Madrid and Wales international play-maker, Gareth Bale has been named Wales player of the year for the 4 th time running....congratulations to him See his tweet on the award
