SportsEXPLAINED: How Premier League Clubs Secure UEFA Qualification by saintig41(op): 5:32pm On Aug 03, 2020
The Premier League season is over but Arsenal's FA Cup win has had a big impact on the qualification places for UEFA competitions
The 2019/20 Premier League campaign may be over but, with Arsenal winning the FA Cup on Saturday and European cup competitions yet to finish, next season's UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League qualifiers are yet to be finalised.

The Gunners won 2-1 against Chelsea in the FA Cup final on Saturday, meaning they will advance to the UEFA Europa League group stage despite their eighth-place finish.

Below we explain the scenarios for UEFA qualification this season.

How it normally works

The top four at the end of the season ordinarily enter the UEFA Champions League (UCL). The team placed fifth and the winners of the FA Cup and the EFL Cup typically qualify for the UEFA Europa League (UEL).

Qualification by league position
Qualification usually goes as in the table below, with seven European spots ordinarily available



*If the FA Cup winners finish in the top five, their UEL spot goes to the next-placed team in the PL yet to qualify
**If the EFL Cup winners finish in the top five, their UEL spot goes to the next-placed team in the PL yet to qualify

Should a Premier League club win the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League, they will automatically qualify for the group stage of next season's UEFA Champions League, regardless of their league finishing position.

A maximum of five Premier League teams are eligible for UEFA Champions League qualification.

If a Premier League club win the UEFA Champions League and another win the UEFA Europa League, and neither finish in the top four, the club lying fourth in the Premier League drops into the UEFA Europa League group stage.







As it stands: UEFA Champions League
Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea have secured the four spots in the UEFA Champions League group stage.

If Man City or Chelsea win this season's UEFA Champions League in August, it will not change the league's UEFA allocation for next season.

Equally, there will be no change if Man Utd win the UEFA Europa League and the place in the UCL that comes with that prize.

But seventh-placed Wolves can still qualify for the UEFA Champions League by winning the UEFA Europa League to give the Premier League five representatives in the competition.

As it stands: UEFA Europa League
The fifth-placed Premier League team, in this case Leicester City, ordinarily qualify for the group stages of the UEFA Europa League.

Because Man City have won the EFL Cup, the place in the second qualifying round of the UEL that this trophy merits will go to sixth-placed Tottenham Hotspur

Arsenal's FA Cup win confirmed Spurs' second qualifying round place for the UEL. If the Gunners had lost to Chelsea, Spurs would have claimed a group-stage place.

This means that UEFA Wolves miss out on a Europa League place, but they could yet be the eighth Premier League team in European competition if they win the 2019/20 UEL.

Situations for European Qualifiers



*GS = group stages; 2QR = second qualifying round

“We will continue to work step-by-step and in consultation with all our stakeholders as we move towards resuming the 2019/20 season.”

SportsPremier League 'approve Newcastle Takeover' By Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohamme by saintig41(op): 6:50am On May 26, 2020
The Premier League have reportedly given the green light to a proposed £300m takeover of Newcastle United by a Saudi-backed consortium.

The move will mean an end to Mike Ashley's 13-year ownership of the club, with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia - led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman - taking an 80 percent stake.


The Saudi consortium, assembled by financier Amanda Staveley, also includes billionnaire British businessmen the Reuben brothers, who will have a 10% stake.

Their bid had been given the go-ahead, with just the transfer of funds still to be sorted, according to The Sun

The publication reports that there had been a delay in assessing the application while Premier League chiefs concentrated on Project Restart.

There has been some opposition to the bid, with critics highlighting Saudi Arabia's poor human rights record and allegations of links to illegal streaming of sports events including football matches.

But the bid has now passed the league's fit and proper persons' test for owners and directors, The Sun reports.

Once the funds have been transferred and all paperwork dealt, an announcement is expected to made around June 1.

Many fans will welcome the end of Ashley's ownership of the club.

SportsEXPLAINED: Reasons Why Coutinho Will Never Come Back To Liverpool. by saintig41(op): 4:24pm On May 02, 2020
Coutinho, 27, is on loan at Bayern Munich from parent club Barcelona.
The Bundesliga side are unwilling to meet a £97m buyout clause they agreed for Coutinho, who is already planning for life away from the club with his agent Kia Joorabchian sounding.

Viji Van Dijk, Liverpool defender, alleged that Jurgen Klopp begged him in May 2017, to stay but he was reluctant.

SportsVan Dijk 'made Me Feel Like A Little Girl' : Premier League Striker. by saintig41(op): 3:17pm On Apr 24, 2020
Sheffield United striker Oli McBurnie has revealed how Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk left him feeling 'like a little girl'.

The Blades player admitted that the Premier League is a big step up from the Championship and that facing a defender who many now consider to be the world's best left him feeling physically inadequate.

McBurnie told the Sheffield Star:

"It took me a few months to get up to speed. I had to do gym for the first time in my life!

"I bounced off van Dijk and realised I needed to do a bit of bench press. He had everything and I felt like a little girl against him.

"I'm skinnier than a lot of defenders so when the ball goes up in the air, I give them a nudge in the air and that's always worked, at any level.

"I tried it with van Dijk. He was off-balance, and I still bounced straight off him. I thought: 'I'll have to go and play off Joel Matip here instead!'."

SportsReasons Why Trent Alexander-arnold Wears No.66 by saintig41(op): 5:36am On Apr 24, 2020
The answer is not that it holds personal significance; nor is it an attempt to create a unique identity within the game.

Instead, it was a result of someone carrying out a relatively common task within their job.

It turns out Lee Radcliffe, the club's kit management coordinator, is the reason why Alexander-Arnold and so many of his young admirers now bear the No.66 on the back of their Liverpool shirts.

Little did Radcliffe know what would go on to happen in the years following his routine act, carried out when Alexander-Arnold first progressed to Melwood from the Kirkby Academy, where he had been since the age of six.

"When we get any young lads that come down from the Academy, we always deliberately try to give them a high-ish number," Radcliffe explains to Liverpoolfc.com.

"We don't like to give them a low number in case they sort of think they've made it straight away, if you know what I mean.

"You pick it out because it's a free number and it's around that sort of number you think, 'We'll give that out because he's only just come down'.

"When you see him now lifting trophies and celebrating with No.66 on the back, it's a weird feeling and I can't really describe it. It's weird to see such a high number and for someone to be happy with it!

"Someone like Trent has just been happy to be around the first team and obviously doesn't realise how good he is. He doesn't really ask for anything, to be honest.

"I think he's that laidback that he's obviously been given the number and thought, 'Yeah, that'll do me. I'll keep that', and not realised how iconic it's become over the years."

Alexander-Arnold's first senior appearance for the Reds arrived in 2015 when, aged 16, he started in a pre-season friendly at Swindon Town.

He wore a nameless No.2 shirt that afternoon before receiving his next first-team opportunity the following summer away at Tranmere Rovers, where the No.66 awaited him.

The rest, as they say, is history.

During a Twitter Q&A with fans in February, Alexander-Arnold admitted he didn't know whether he would keep that squad number for his entire career.

So far, the right-back has racked up 125 competitive appearances for the club as No.66, winning the Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup along the way.

And yet, the 21-year-old remains the same well-mannered individual that quietly first walked through the door at the West Derby training complex.

SportsWilliam To Leave Chelsea If ....... by saintig41(op): 7:52pm On Apr 23, 2020
Willian is reportedly in talks with Liverpool regarding a shock move to Anfield. The Chelsea winger is out of contract at the end of the season and has failed to agree terms over a new deal at Stamford Bridge. It’s been reported that the Brazilian wants a three-year contract, but Chelsea bosses will only put a two-year deal on the table. He is therefore set to move on. Barcelona have long been linked with a move for the 31-year-old, while Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are also credited with an interest.

But it seems Liverpool have made a ‘favourable’ offer to the man,

One of Willian’s former managers, Mircea Lucescu, believes it may be time for him to leave west London. The ex-Shakhtar Donetsk boss told TuttoJuve: ‘He has been at Chelsea for many years and perhaps it is time for a change.



‘The London club fell in love with his performances when they faced us in the Champions League.’ Willian, meanwhille, has vowed to ‘give everything’ to Chelsea before he leaves. ‘I want to give everything for Chelsea until the end like I always did, until the end of my contract, until the end of the league,’ he told AP. ‘I have to discuss with the club to see what we are going to do. But for me, from my side, I have no problem to play until the end of the season.

Christianity EtcPope Emeritus Benedict XVI Celebrates His 91st Birthday Today by saintig41(op): 5:14pm On Apr 16, 2018
Vatican -Pope Benedict XVI Emeritus is to spend his 91st birthday in ‘quiet and peace’, the Vatican’s official news site said, on Monday.
Benedict was due to have a little celebration in the Vatican monastery where he has retired, with his 94-year-old brother Georg Ratzinger, his Secretary Archbishop Georg Gaenswein said.


The day of Joseph Ratzinger’s birth has been seen by some as a sign of Divine Providence. It was certainly a sign of things to come. The future Pope Benedict XVI was born on Holy Saturday, April 16 1927. His birthplace is Marktl-an-Inn, a tiny village less than an hour’s walk away from Altoetting, the most important Marian Shrine in Bavaria.

Benedict became in 2013 the first pope to resign in nearly 600 years, citing the strains of old age.
Since then, he has lived a life of prayer inside the Vatican gardens and rarely ventured out, staying true to a promise to remain “hidden to the world.”

In February, he said in a letter to Italian daily Corriere della Sera, that he was preparing to meet his maker: “As my physical strength slowly fades, I am on an interior pilgrimage towards home.

Let wish him Happy Birthday

Foreign AffairsJust In: Trump Orders Strike On Syria In Response To Chemical Attack by saintig41(op): 9:05am On Apr 14, 2018
President Donald Trump ordered a strike on
Syria Friday in response to last weekend's chemical weapons attack.
Addressing the nation Friday evening, Trump said the strike was a joint operation with France and the United Kingdom.

"A short time ago, I ordered the United States Armed Forces to launch precision strikes on targets associated with the chemical weapons capabilities of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad,"Trump said.

Trump said that the "massacre" last weekend in Syria "was a significant escalation in a pattern of chemical weapons use by that very terrible regime."
"The evil and the despicable attack left mothers and fathers, infants and children thrashing in pain and gasping for air. These are not the actions of a man,"

Trump said, referring to Assad. "They are crimes of a monster instead."

In a later briefing, Defense Secretary James Mattis said the strike demonstrates the international resolve to prevent the use of chemical weapons, saying he is "confident the Syrian regime conducted a chemical attack on innocent people in the last week.""Clearly the Assad regime did not get the message last year," Mattis said, adding that this time the U.S. struck harder.
"We have gone to great lengths to avoid civilian and foreign casualties," he said. "... I believe that we sent a very strong message."

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford said the strike specifically hit three targets associated with the production and storage of chemical weapons: a scientific research center; a storage center for sarin and its precursor components; and a chemical weapons storage facility and command post.

"Important infrastructure was destroyed," said Dunford.

There were no reports of American losses, Mattis said.
Russia was not notified before launching airstrikes against Syria, Dunford said, adding no additional strikes are planned.
Social posts out of Syria showed flames lighting up the dark skies. Explosions could be heard as well.


Syrian state media confirmed the scientific research center in Barzeh, north of Damascus, was targeted in the attack, adding that a number of rockets targeting warehouses belonging to the Syrian army in Homs were allegedly intercepted.
State media said it was a "cowardly terrorist attack," only done for “America to save face.”Major concerns:

Who are the major players in the Syrian war?
What the US is doing in Syria?
Trump's national security team meets as US says it has proof Syria carried out chemical attack,
How Russia has hinted it could react to US strikes in Syria?

In his remarks, There were no reports of American losses, Mattis said.

Russia was not notified before launching airstrikes against Syria, Dunford said, adding no additional strikes are planned.

Trump added that the U.S. "does not seek an indefinite presence in Syria."
"We look forward to the day when we can bring our warriors home," he said. "... We cannot purge the world of evil or act everywhere there is tyranny. No amount of American blood or treasure can produce lasting peace and security in the Middle East.
"... We pray that God will bring comfort to those suffering in Syria," Trump concluded. "We pray that God will guide the whole region toward a future of dignity and of peace. And we pray that God will continue to watch over and bless the Unite

God saved me from a dangerous horrible looking  cobra yesterday night  in my toilet Seat(WC) here in Abraka delta state.

It was around 7.34pm when wanted to use the toilet (pee)  I decided to use my touch light to view the sink  before action,i saw a black stuff below the water in the toilet seat and I was trying to identify what it could be because I used the toilet some hours ago. Lo and behold it was a horrible looking cobra. I called the care taker of the hostel where I live, he came and confirmed it.The snake is so big that we couldn't devised another good means to kill it than the use of Gun .For more than 2hrs the snake was there until we called the attention of the vigilante group and finally it was killed with the aid of a gun.

Please always make sure you look very well before using your toilet. I couldn't believe how it entered but verifications say it came from the toilet suck away pit."

Christianity EtcCatholic Bishop, Cleric, Others At Conflict Over Proposed Varsity by saintig41(op): 1:36pm On Mar 16, 2018
NSUKKA—A factional group at Nguru community in Nsukka local government area of Enugu state has sued the Catholic Bishop of Nsukka Diocese, Rev. Prof Godfrey Onah, the Spiritual Director of Okunerere Adoration Ministry Rev. Fr. Paul Martins Obayi and elders of the community over a proposed private university in the area.

Fr. Obayi of the famous Okunere Adoration Ministry had approached the community for plots of land to establish the university which was said to have been approved after due process by the community.


However, a factional group of the community laying claim to ownership of the land dragged the clerics and elders of the community to court for trespass on their land.

Vanguard gathered that the community, after the elders were served court summon convened a general meeting of the 10 villages that make up Nguru community where it was resolved to stand in support of the establishment of the university in the area.

Speaking to newsmen shortly after the meeting, the eldest man of the community, Edeoga Ekete Onyishi said it was a taboo for a child to sue his father in court over land, maintaining that the community willfully allotted the plots of land to Fr. Obayi for the purpose of establishing a university in the community.
“It is surprising that some people from the same community, about 21 of them ganged up, conspired among themselves to sue the Catholic Bishop, Fr. Obayi and elders of the community while laying false claims to the ownership of the ancestral land of the community” he said.

“Fr. Obayi who equally hailed from Nguru community approached the community in accordance with the custom and traditions of the community before the land was allotted for the purpose of the university to be established in the area”

He called on the factional group to withdraw the suit and follow the line of peace for the development of the community, pointing out that the 21 factional group may be ex-communicated if they fail to abide by the general decisions of the community.

Also speaking Me Ernest Obayi said that it was madness on the side of the factional group to take the entire community to court, explaining that Nguru general assembly met and approved the plots of land while some cabals in the community conspired to wage trouble to scuttle the good intentions of the cleric.

“The community had earlier set up peace committee that came up with a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the host community and Fr. Obayi for the purpose of the university in the area. Some of the factional group were members of the peace committee but later pulled out to sow seeds of discord to stop the developmental project of the cleric.” he noted.

Foreign AffairsRe: Angela Merkel Re-elected As German Chancellor For Fourth Term by saintig41(op): 9:52am On Mar 15, 2018
Foreign AffairsAngela Merkel Re-elected As German Chancellor For Fourth Term by saintig41(op): 9:51am On Mar 15, 2018
German lawmakers on Wednesday re-elected Angela Merkel as chancellor for a fourth, and likely final, term that may prove her most challenging yet as she takes charge of a fragile coalition with her personal standing diminished.
Lawmakers voted by 364 to 315, with nine abstentions, in favour of re-electing Merkel, a humbling start as the coalition of her conservatives and the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) has 399 votes in the Bundestag lower house of parliament.
"I accept the vote," a beaming Merkel, 63, told lawmakers before being sworn in by Bundestag President Wolfgang Schaeuble.She later told broadcaster the ruling parties would focus on taking support away from far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which hurt them in last September's national election.
"That is our aim - that we make them (AfD) smaller and get them out of the Bundestag again insofar as is possible," she said. "We want a coalition that appeals to all people in the country."
In office since 2005, Merkel has dominated Germany's political landscape and steered the European Union through economic crisis.
But her authority was dented by her decision in 2015 to commit Germany to an open-door policy on refugees, resulting in an influx of more than one million people that laid bare deep divisions within the EU over migration and fuelled the AfD.

While also being locked in a trade stand-off with the United States, Merkel must now juggle competing domestic demands from within her coalition.
Her conservative CDU/CSU alliance only turned to the SPD to prolong the 'grand coalition' that has governed Germany since 2013 out of desperation, after talks on a three-way alliance with two smaller parties collapsed in November.


"It will not be an easy coalition, we have some difficult tasks ahead," said Volker Kauder, parliamentary leader of the conservative bloc.
Ministers, younger and more diverse than the last cabinet, take up their posts almost six months after last September's national election.
"I have the feeling that nothing good is going to be done for the country in this legislature period," said Alice Weidel, the AfD's leader in parliament. "It will probably be Angela Merkel's last term and at some point it will be enough."

Challenges to face Abroad

she will face the trade tensions with Washington, pressure from France to reform Europe, and from Britain to stand up to Russia.
President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said it was "high time for a new government" to go to work.
Merkel's spokesman said she would head to France on Friday to discuss bilateral, European and international topics with President Emmanuel Macron.
Macron congratulated Merkel in a tweet, adding: "Let's act together to take Europe forward, faster and more strongly."[b]German lawmakers on Wednesday re-elected Angela Merkel as chancellor for a fourth, and likely final, term that may prove her most challenging yet as she takes charge of a fragile coalition with her personal standing diminished.

RomanceHow To Make Your Man To Propose To You Quickly (no. 8 Will Surprise You) by saintig41(op): 2:03pm On Oct 14, 2017
Nowadays, the long period at which
ladies
stays in a relationship
without hope of getting married is
digusting.
The dream of every woman
is to have a desired husband but things
may
not turn out as they wished.
The question now is what is the
problem?
The purpose of this writeup is to
enlight and
educate you on what you
must do in order to make that kind of
man
you desire to propose to you
in the nearest future. There are many
qualities
you have to possess in
order to be attractive but below are
few which
you must do in order to
be enlisted on the list of ''wife
material''
1. Make him jealous of you.
In doing this,it has to be geniue and
care has
to be taken so as not
lead to suspicion. Introduce him to
your male
friends like school mates, church
members, co-workers etc just be open
to everybody around you. On the other
hand, when he introduce his friends to
you, try to be cheerful to them.
Compliment them
especially the male ones and tell
your man the good things you
observed from
them.
With these, he wil be willing to secue
you and
also be dying for you
each every moment because he already
has
the fear of others taking you
away from him. In the nearest time,
guess
what! He will propose to
you.
2. Care for him.
Most women thinks that caring for
men is
only giving him all the
styles on bed and calling him all the
sweet
names. It 's beyond that. Be
concerned on his welfare.In time of
problems,
be able to proffer
solutions to them. Where neccessary,
cook for
him, do house chores for
him and wash his cloths. When he's
ailing,he
needs ur assistance
most.Always call him sweet names
that will
linger his heart. Also text
him whenever u miss him. Buying him
recharge card will also do alot.
3. Sometimes, pay for the bill.
Almost all the women thinks that the
onus of
settling bill like
drinks, bus fare, food etc rests on the
shoulder
of men. No, dear
Ladies, please change your mindset.
Show him
that you are an
exception. Do it, it wont make you
poor rather
he will appreciate it
and value you more. Even if he insist
that you
will not pay, pausuade
him. Men love women more who are
contributory than the burden ones.
It's one of their secrets but they wont
tell you.
On the other hand, suprise him with
tangible
gifts especially on his
bithday. Atleast, women should
graduate from
giving men things like
boxers, singlets, polo etc and start
giving
reasonable things.
Shey na men no dey like better things?
4. Give him advice.
Most women lacks the art of
reasoning. Men
values prudent women more
than the slay Queens. You will not
know this
but it's true. Prove to
your man that you have acumen.
When he is
confuse or need advicec,
advise him wisely, inspire him,
moltivate him
and give him hope. If
you are able to restore his enthusiasm,
you
will be authomatically
shortlisted on ''wife material list'' and
you know what, na straight
to see your people *wink*
