It has been a long time waiting but today, Liverpool are officially champions of England. I mean we have known they were going to be champions since February but today they just showed how champions win. Coming from 1-0 down to beat Tottenham at Anfield, the match ended 5-1 and the party for their fans has now kicked off. The last time Liverpool won the league was during the Covid lockdown so fans were not able to celebrate as much as they would have loved especially with the players.

Now all that is left is for Mohammed Salah to be officially recognized as the best player in the league, by the League body and the PFA. He might now make the podium for the Ballon D'or but Salah has carried Liverpool all season with minimal support. He is currently topping the goalscoring charts with 27 goals and also the best playmaker with 18 assists. Now he needs just 2 more assists to break Thiery Henry's all time assists record. Bet on Salah to do it because there is nothing the Egyptian Pharoah can't do at this point.

Congratulations to Liverpool, Champions of England.

My people, we are in trouble. Arsenal are in the champions League Semi-finals, which means they are just 3 matches away from winning the trophy. The big boys trophy. And to be honest, after they beat Real Madrid home and away, they are now favorites. Favorites to win the one trophy everyone has been insulting them with. If They end up winning, the whole world is in trophy starting from Nigeria here.

Government fit declare Public holiday, I no go surprise. When you consider how many big men support, the party is going to be bigger than the Chelsea win of 2012. And once Arsenal wins, no one is going to be able to banter their fans again because this is the one trophy that shuts Arsenal fans up. How can you claim to be a big club without ever winning the biggest trophy? If Arsenal wins, you are going to see shege from your Arsenal friends. We must not let it happen.

So, gentlemen.. from this weekend, we shall start a 3-days dry fasting to prevent this thing from happening. It does not matter if you are a Madrid or Barcelona or Bayern Munich fan. It does not matter if your club has won it 1 million times. If Arsenal wins, they are going to drag everyone! Pray with me.

Why is Liverpool winning the league this season? Only one correct answer..... The God of Injuries simply smiled on them especially when you consider that they have the smallest squad amongst the "Big" teams. While teams like Arsenal, Manchester city had their season derailed with injuries to Key men, Liverpool have had a smooth sailing. But next season, Arsenal are looking more likely to be champions especially if Arteta can do this few things.

Arsenal to win the Champions League is currently at 3.45 Odds - https://m.betking.com/sports/prematch/1001286371/winner

Arteta needs to get a proper striker, this has been obvious for years! Gabriel Jesus has never been a go to striker for anyone, not for Brazil, not for Mancity. While his skillset is amazing and is useful playing across the forward line, he simply isn't it. Then Arteta went ahead to get Kai Havertz from Chelsea, a player who can be best described as a 8.5. Right now, Arsenal need an Isak or Sesko, players who can like up from deep. A striker like Gyokores is not suited for their style of play, we can talk about that later. While everyone wants an understudy for Bukayo Saka, I don't think they need to buy another winger especially when you consider how many they already have and the fact that Jesus can play out wide. I think money should be better spent on bringing in a new defensive midfielder to cover for the loss of Thomas Partey who is leaving for free at the end of the season. Jorginho is also leaving.

Will Arteta do all this? Will Manchester City be back up? Or are Chelsea boys finally ready to step up? Next season no far.......

Real Madrid are are out of the champions League, their Juju is finally broken. Even with the backup from my Babalawo wey Perez pay for. Losing home and away to Arsenal in the quarter finals is enough to get any good coach sacked at Madrid, this is a clud that demands just one thing from their staff, win... at any cost. After losing on Wednesday night, the news are coming in that Carlo Ancelotti will leave the club after the Copa del rey final next week. As senior man wey he be, Madrid are not using the word "Sacked". Their first choice to replace himis Xabi Alonso who was expected to wait at Bayer Leverkusen till 2026 but now the deal is going to be fast tracked.

In other news, do you think Arsenal can beat PSG and then Inter or Barcelona in the final? I no wan use my Babalawo for this prediction but I believe Inter Milan is going to win the Champions league.

Make una no fear o, it might seem silly but I need you to believe me here. Na my Babalawo call wake me this morning. He dey ask if I know who Florentino Perez be, see this man oo. Why I no go sabi the greatest club president in the world, Baba Perez, Oluaye number one. Oga Perez called and offered to pay him anything and everything he wants just for Madrid to qualify, my babalawo collect am o. Baba wey like money pass anything. He collect the payment and he don run the sacrifice for Real Madrid to qualify. He just called me to bet on am.

Arsenal have never face the kind of pressure they are about to face on Wednesday, 3 goals might seem like a lot and a good lead to take to the Bernabeu but this is a reminder that they are going to be playing Real Madrid, the greatest team in the history of the Champions league. Make una bet wisely, DON'T BET AGAINST REAL MADRID.

When Manchester United sacked Erik Ten Haag and brought in Ruben Amorim, they were 5 points away from 4th place, today they are 18th points away. How, why? It is still the same set of players so what has changed? Nothing has but the fact that United did not know that they were hiring a very stubborn coach. A coach that has refused to be flexible and adapt.

Manchester United to win the Europa League is currently at 4.50 Odds here - https://m.betking.com/sports/events/outright/football/uefa/europa-league

Amorim favors a 3-4-3 formation with two inside wingers supporting the main striker, with two central midfielders doing the dirty work and helping with the transition in the middle. Two wingbacks provide the needed width and a solid back three. This formation won him titles at Sporting Lisbon, however he may not win anything with it at United. The reason is the players he has right now are not suited to the roles of a 3-4-3. Bruno Fernandes is not an inside winger or a workhorse central midfielder, despite his impressive output numbers. Among United's current midfielder, only Manuel Ugarte can offer anything close to the workhorse Amorim needs in the center. There are so many other examples around the pitch.

Amorim knows all these so why has he insisted on playing a formation without the right players? United have now lost 14 league games and are looking sure not to make the top 10 by the end of the season. Considering that Sir Ratcliffe has said that they won't have too much money to spend this summer, just how exactly is Amorim going to improve his team? Is he going to keep playing his formation and hope that better things come? Or will he be sensible and adapt?

Let's not forget, Onana is the goalkeeper.....lol

Mohammed Salah has finally signed a new 2year deal with Liverpool. The Egyptian forward that was mean to be a free agent in two months time will now stay at Anfield till 2027. Salah joined Liverpool from Roma for £34 million in 2017 and has had a superb individual season that could see him break many goal and assist records.

Salah to finish as the highest goalscorer in the Premier league is currently at a low 1.01 Odds here - https://m.betking.com/sports/prematch/1001428805/top-goalscorer

Salah said: "Of course, I’m very excited. We have a great team now. Before also we had a great team. But I signed because I think we have a chance to win other trophies and enjoy my football.
"It’s great, I had my best years here. I played eight years, hopefully it’s going to be 10. Enjoying my life here, enjoying my football. I had the best years in my career.

After all the mouth and promises, Real Madrid lost. Sorry, they did not lose, they were beaten woefully, they were disgraced by the boys from North London. 3 un-replied goals at the Emirates, I am sorry but Madrid Juju fit no work this time at the Bernabeu. Declan Rice stepped up with two amazing freekicks on a night Vinicius and Mbappe went missing. Imagine, kings of Europe.... well, former kings because the Real Madrid team that showed up last night were so useless.

Elsewhere, Inter Milan are doing their work silently under darkness, beating Bayern Munich in Germany 2-1. They might just end up wining the champions League when you consider that they also have the best defense in Europe at the moment. They have conceded just 3 goals and kept Harry Kane quiet. They are 6.50 odds to win, bet on them.

Tonight, we have PSG vs Aston Villa.... Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund, bet on both matches to be over 2.5 goals.

Today is the day that the lord has made, today is the day. For years now, Arsenal fans have believed they can go toe to toe with the best teams in Europe but whenever they face Barcelona or Bayern Munich, they never find their voice. After a while, they changed voice, they don't want the best teams in Europe, they want the oga patapata... the Oga at the top, Real Madrid. 15 times European champions with a history of having the best of the best players in their squad. Right now, they have 2 of the top 3 best (According to the Ballon D'or)... Vinicius and Jude Bellingham.

Anyway, God wey no dey sleep or slumber don answer Arsenal prayers o, UEFA don give them Real Madrid. Then Devil add him own and took Angel Gabriel away from their defense. Bukayo Saka is back but not at a 100% fitness and even if he was 100% , he can not do it all on his own. Everyone else has to step up and put in a good game. The problem na no matter how good a game they put up, Real Madrid is going to qualify. How are you going to stop Bellingham, Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrygo without your best Defender?

Anyway, be care what you wish for o because e fit come at a time you don't need it.

Pep Guardiola signed a new deal in September 2024, the new deal is to keep at the club till 2027 but the truth is that Pep should have walked away a year ago. A year ago right after winning his fourth consecutive Premier league and a year after winning Manchester City's first ever treble. But instead he signed a new contract and since then, it has been downhill for City and their fans.

Manchester City to make top 4 is currently at 1.72 Odds here - https://m.betking.com/sports/prematch/1001283719/top-4

And Now they are in a losing battle for the Top 5, with England getting 5 slots for the UEFA champions league. Newcastle, Chelsea and also Aston Villa locked in a battle for 2 slots. Liverpool have won the league already, with Arsenal and Nottingham Forest needing just a few more points to secure 2nd and 3rd position. The problem now is that it does not seem like City are going to get one of those two final slots.

The question now is if Manchester City do not qualify for the Champions League, do you think Pep Guardiola should leave?

Manchester City could not find a way to beat Ruben Amorim's Manchester United as the derby ended in a draw. United started the match fast as Alejandro Garnacho ran at the city defense and was quickly brought down outside the box with Ruben Dias earning a 1st minute yellow. Kevin De Bryune playing in his last derby could not dictate the match as much as he would have liked and true, true... him age don dey show. It is a good thing City decided not to renew his contract. Expect Ilkay Gundogan to follow him at the end of the season as he ghosted all through the match.

Phil Foden might have been the best player in England last year but this year, he has not been up to the level expected. It was not surprising that he was subbed off later in the second half. He needs to hit up his level for next season if they are to get back to competing to anything.

Manchester United were the better team and should have won the match but for some poor finishing and silly decisions from Garnacho. United can be the best team in the country again but now they need to get rid of some players. Rasmus Hojlund needs to find another club to start scoring for. Casemiro had a decent match but it is time to go, Dorgu needs to go out on loan, No serious club is going to have him starting for them.

The most important thing is Manchester United have to find the perfect Partner for Bruno Fernandes, He has carried United for so long that he might break down soon.

Manchester United can be great again.

Arsenal Defender Gabriel Magalhaes has been confirmed to be out of the season witha hamstring injury. Gabriel suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of Tuesday's Premier League win over Fulham, which will require surgery. Jurrien Timber was also taken in the match with what appeared to be a slight knock and is awaiting further examination.
These injuries come at a cruical stage of the season when Arsenal is about to host Real Madrid in the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League while chasing Liverpool at the top of the English Premier League.

Bukayo Saka stepped onto the pitch and whole of Emirates stadium stood up to applaud their very own starboy. And within six minutes, he had scored. For over 3 months, they have suffered and struggled without him but right now is when they need him the most. 13 points behind Liverpool in the league might be a problem but in the Champions League is where the hope is. Arsenal is facing regular winners Real Madrid in what is going to be the biggest match of their season so far. If they can beat Real Madrid, they will be through to the Semi-finals and just 3 matches away from winning the Champions League. For the first time in their history! To do that however, they need Saka.

But Saka can not do it all alone, they are going to need more divine help now that their most reliable defender is out. Gabriel was subbed out of the match with a knock, a few minutes later Jurrien Timber also suffered the same fate. No updates are available yet from the Arsenal medical team but it is not looking good for them at all. They are about to face one of the most dangerous attacks in football, they need everyone fit and active. Saka no be Superman.

Money good oo! Money good! Especially football money, blood money no fit touch am! Come and see the five highest paid players in the English Premier League.

Erling Haaland is the Premier League’s highest-earning player. The Manchester City Striker just signed an extended nine-and-a-half-year contract, which saw his wages increase from £375,000 to £500,000 per week. He is not earning an estimated £2.2 million ($2.9m) gross per month, factoring in additional bonuses, loyalty incentives and image rights agreements. No try calculate am for Naira o.

The second person on the list is also from Manchester City, Kevin De Bruyne earning £432,000 per week, his contract is expiring in a few months, may Saudi go sign am, double the money for am. Two players are sharing the third spot on the salary rankings are Manchester United’s Casemiro and Liverpool’s Salah, both earning £376,250 per week. Both of them also have their contracts expiring this summer, would there be any team out there willing to sign and pay them as much? We go find out.

Manchester City to finish in Top 4 is at 1.57 Odds here - https://m.betking.com/sports/prematch/1001283719/top-4

Marcus Rashford and Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling complete the top five, each earning £349,000 per week. The two players are currently out on loan but their parent clubs are still covering up to 75% of their salaries, see enjoyment o. Both players have less than 10 goals combined this season though Rashford has began to hit form with Aston Villa over the last few weeks.

Ring the Alarm!!! Bukayo Saka is back.. Saka is back, call Florentino Perez, call Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid is in trouble. Or not? After 3 months out with a hamstring injury. Within that 3 months, Arsenal have dragged themselves above Chelsea into 2nd place in the Premier League and also into the Quarter finals of the Champions League. The problem however is that they can not seem to go further than that. They are 12 points behind Liverpool in the league with 9 matches to go and they are facing European giants Real Madrid in the quarter finals. But now Saka is back!

Arsenal to Qualify for the Semi-finals is at 2.34 Odds here - https://m.betking.com/sports/prematch/1002150146/arsenal-fc-real-madrid

Before his injury, Saka was in red hot form for the gunners with 5 goals and 10 assists in the league, he also had 4 goals and 2 assists in the champions league. In his absence, Arsenal have suffered from the lack of a traditional right winger. Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard have tried to fill in the role but it simply was not enough. Now the king is back when they need him the most but will he be enough to get pass Real Madrid with Mbappe, Bellingham, Vinicius and co or enough to catch and overtake Liverpool? The next 2 weeks are going to tell.

Ask any Nigerian football official why we should always be at the World cup and the answer is likely going to be the same. That we are the giants of Africa, that is all. That is what they believe not that we have to be the best team on the pitch. The 2026 World cup is going to be the first expanded one in a long time with Africa now getting 9 automatic slots and 1 playoff yet Nigeria has managed someone to make a mess of qualifying. After missing out on Qatar 2022, one would have expected Nigeria to sit up and take this qualifying seriously but as it is, only a divine miracle can get us to the World cup next year.

Nigeria to win the World Cup is currently at 200 Odds here - https://m.betking.com/sports/events/outright/football/international/world-cup-2026

No wins in the first 4 matches, 3 coaches in 6 games. What exactly is going on? We need to ask the first and most important question, Why was Gernot Rohr sacked in the first place? No tangible reason has been given for that especially at a crucial time in the calendar. Also why does Austin Eguavoen keep getting the National Team Job? Why, why and why? Before we start blaming the players for their own shortcomings, we need to ask the right questions of who set them up?

One last thing, why don't we have a standard pitch in Nigeria because the pitch at the Uyo stadium was an eyesore and not fit for an international team. Our Administrators really need to sit up and start doing better!

Looking at all the teams right now, the ones that have qualified for the world cup, the ones yet to qualify and the one that know they are not going to qualify. Who do you think is going to win the World cup next year? Who is going to replace Argentina as Champions? Let give you a simple answer, there are just 2 teams that can do that right now......

France to win the World Cup is currently at 7.00 Odds here - https://m.betking.com/sports/prematch/1001626615/world-cup-winner

France and Spain... the two most balanced squads in the world. The Spanish National team are currently the champions of Europe while France were finalists at the last world cup, losing out on penalties. The French might boast the most complete squad and the most the most experienced coach in International football right now. They have also been finalists of the last two world cups, winning in 2018.

The Spanish however have the most exciting team, having ditched the tiki-taka pattern they perfected so well, they are now the most direct team in the world with Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams pulling the strings on the wings. Balance that with the experience of Alvaro Morata and Rodri, you can see why they have to be feared, just ask England.

Spain is also at 7.00 Odds to win the World cup, You want to invest, invest early now. Na babalawo yarn am, no be me.

Japan have officially qualified for the men’s FIFA World Cup 2026 by beating Bahrain 2-0 today. Today's win guaranteed Japan’s place in one of the two automatic qualifying spots in Group C of the Asian qualifiers. All it required were goals in the second half from Daichi Kamada and Takefusa Kubo to help them qualify. This is going to be their eighth consecutive World Cup.

They have reached the round of 16 at the last two World Cups, France 98 was the first World cup they ever qualified for. Then four years later, the co-hosted with South Korea.

Japan still has three more matches to spare in the qualifying round but as it is, they have cemented their place at the Tournament alongside the three hosts Mexico, Canada and the United states, who all qualified automatically.

Take a good look at all the National teams right now, rank your top 3 based on the players they have. England makes the list, right? Of course they will but now ask yourself what is stopping them from actually winning the world cup? Fear, inexperience and the right coach. Now I think they have the tools and right coach to conquer all three.......or not. Thomas Tuchel is the new England coach but from his first call-up, he might be going the old ways of Gareth Southgate or he fit just dey craze.

France to win the UEFA Nations League is at 4.50 Odds here - https://m.betking.com/sports/events/outright/football/uefa/nations-league

Because why is he calling up Jordan Henderson in 2025, at 34 years and not playing regular football at Ajax. England should be moving away from the idea of loyalty players and start focusing more on form. Player like Connor Gallagher should have been called up. He has been having an amazing season with Atletico Madrid, if Curtis Jones could get called up, certainly Gallagher deserves a call up too. Definitely not Jordan Henderson. Tuchel also did not call up any of the Nottingham forest boys, that has been one of the best teams in England this season thanks to the likes of Morgan Gibbs White and Calum Hudson-Odoi.

Tuchel is already known as a good cup coach and if he wants to win something with England, he needs to let go of the old ways and hit matches on the front foot. He can not afford to be picking players based off personal bias, also he should do away with the defense first approach of Southgate. Players like Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka should be set free. The failed experiment of Trent Alexander Arnold in the midfield should never happen again.

If Tuchel can Preach attack, attack and attack.... England are going to be unstoppable, if not... Make dem sorry, nothing for them.

First of all, I no like Arsenal, they have cost me a lot of money. Na very stupid club but i think they are about to be the biggest club in England for the next few years only if they can sort a few things I want to point out now. First and most important! They need to get a proper striker as in better box predator, a shoot on sight striker not all those ones wey need 3-4 touches before they shoot. They need those Lewandoski, Dzeko kind of strikers. Not that Havertz or Gabriel Jesus they have now, those two can not lead them anywhere. To get that kind of striker now, you need anything from 80 Million pounds and above. These are 3 options I think Arsenal should be looking at, Isak, Osimhen and Gyokeres. None of them go come cheap so Arsenal better be ready to break the bank.

Arsenal to win the Premier League is at 22.00 Odds here - https://m.betking.com/sports/prematch/1001283714/premier-league-winner

Now to the minor issues that are also stopping Arsenal from winning anything. They need to get a decent backup for Bukayo Saka, it is way overdue. A long term injury to him has derailed their season with Arteta trying out Martinelli on the right wing and not getting the right result. Some able to play across the frontline should have been thought of. Omar Marmoush would have been the perfect fit but everyone just sat back and watched Manchester City get him. Then they need to get a backup for Odeegard in the attacking midfield role so he can be rested occasionally. Finally a genuine Right back so Ben White can return to being a suitable backup to Gabriel and Saliba.

If Arsenal does all these and don't start winning trophies, they should come and see my Babalawo.

And before they say Injuries one thing, one thing.... na everybody get injuries, it is just part of the game. And you can't have spent over 1 Billion in 2 years and not have good squad depth. Nicolas Jackson is the only recognized 9 at the club, Nkunku is not and can never be a 9, Guiu should be out on loan or something but then again wetin concern me. Cole Palmer went off form and the whole team crumbled, he has been carrying the team for almost 2 years now and we need to remember he is still young. Now they are down to fighting just to make a UCL spot.

Inexperienced players, Inexperienced coach, Inexperienced owners, when will the club grow?

Great players know the right moment to step up but e be like say Salah no sabi that one o. For the second time in less than a week, Liverpool needed Salah but then he was nowhere to be found. Should we simply blame this form on the Ramadan fasting but then you remember that Ousmane Dembele is also fasting and he was running rings around the Liverpool defense.

Liverpool to beat Everton is currently at 1.35 Odds here - https://m.betking.com/sports/match/1002133629/liverpool-fc-everton-fc

Liverpool are going to win the league, yes not because they have been super amazing but majorly because other teams have been shitty, just look at Manchester City, let's not talk about Arsenal. Salah has been getting his goals and assists in well in the league but when it has come to where and when it really matters? He goes missing and that is just the truth.

Once again, will the real Mo Salah please stand up?

At this stage, we need to accept that one team owns the UEFA Champions league and every other team just pray for them to drop it each year. How do you explain that Real Madrid have won 15 Champions league even did a 3-peat while at it. How do you explain that it is almost impossible to beat them? Arsenal fans may not like this but it seems like they are already out of the champions league.

We have Inter Milan, Bayern Munich , Barcelona still in the competition, things might yet still happen. Afterall Barcelona have beaten Madrid black and blue this season but have they played them in the Champions league recently? With Barcelona's high line and Mbappe finally settling into the 9 Position, Barcelona are in for a shocker. Inter Milan is a good team with quality in every position but when the going gets tough , do they have enough depth quality on the bench to change things? Bayern Munich might have the right players but can Vincent Kompany get the right combination to go toe to toe with the biggest club in the world?

Real Madrid is beatable, you just need a strong man.... You just need my Babalawo.

The greatest players are always associated with great moments, moments where they stepped up when needed, moments of insane magic. There was Zidane with the 98 World cup final, that super goal in the 2002 Champions League final. Ronaldo De lima with his 2002 World cup final heroics, Lionel Messi with so many that we are not going to bother counting. For Mohammed Salah however, none comes to mind. We are going to have to think long and hard to come up with one. Even then you are going to realize it was not a big stage match, Salah simply goes missing.

This season, he has undisputedly been the best player in England and for that he is going to get a League title and definitely the PFA awards but that will be all. When the grand prize of the Ballon D'or or FIFA's The Best awards come to town, Salah simply won't be there. He just could not step up when it mattered the most. Last night, after PSG took the lead, Salah failed to take the initiative to lead his team to the next round. He simply went missing. This is one of those nights where player lay claim to their greatness, remember Cristiano Ronaldo going all out against Atletico Madrid after Juventus lost the first leg. Eden Hazard taking Arsenal to the cleaners in the Europa league final.

I don't have words for PSG this morning, we shall come back to their matter. Let's face Benfica first, how do you lose to a team with a red card, in your own stadium. Cubarsi got sent off in the 22nd minute, reducing Barcelona to 10 men and yet Benfica still managed to throw the match away. You don't win the Champions league by not being able to take advantage, ask Real Madrid. Benfica is not going to win in Spain, they should just pack their bags home.

Now for PSG, the most disappointing club of this round, in the first half alone... they had ten shots. It felt like Liverpool came to Paris to see the Eiffel tower and nothing more. They were so poor that it is still had to believe that PSG did not win the match with 3 goals or more. Only Alisson turned up for Liverpool and several of the saves he made were out of this world. That does not excuse PSG not taking a win to Anfield, this was simply piss poor on the whole team.

Xabi Alonso and his Bayer Leverkusen team lost to Bayern Munich 3-0, that is enough about that. Till next season before we see them in the champions league again.

7-1

7-1

How do you go to someone's stadium and beat them 7-1? And you did not even play with a striker o. Arsenal Just sent a message to everyone else in the champions league that they are ready for anybody, anybody at all. The problem is they still don't have a striker and PSV were just naive. Playing a high line game against a team with no recognized striker was always going to be a recipe for disaster.

The Turkish Football Federation has banned Jose Mourinho for four matches for his outburst after last week's Galatasaray vs Fenerbache match. The TFF also fined the Portuguese manager £35,000. Mourinho had criticized Turkish referees after the game, saying it would have been a disaster if they had been in charge. The match had been officiated by Slavko Vincic of Slovenia.

Another Charge is brewing as Galatasary has filed a racist complaint claiming Mourinho had referred to their bench as a bunch of monkeys. However a lot of Ex-players who played under him have come out to defend the legendary manager. This includes Chelsea Legend Didier Drogba who released a lengthy Post on his X(Formerly Twitter) page.
