The NBA Season is Back

The NBA season returns tonight, will Lebron  James add a third title this season or will Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors make it title number 2. The long road to next years Final begins tonight


The Eastern Conference
The Cleveland Cavaliers are still in search of an NBA championship for the first time in their history, will this be their year i do hope so.  Its that time for Lebron James steps up and deliver for the North east Ohio team, injuries to Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving took a toll on the squad during the concluding part of the season.



Moves
The Cleveland Cavaliers were able to retain Kevin Love after the fallout between him and Lebron James, this will definitely help them this season.  they added Mo Williams to the back up point guard position to strengthen their attacking force.
Miami Heat also retained Dwayne Wade who are hopping to make it to the play-offs this season.
The New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets are been predicted to struggle season after the Knicks finished bottom of the Eastern conference standings. The Brooklyn Nets seem to find themselves in a mess by not been ably to trade away Draft picks for signing of established players which could take a few years to sort out.



The Western Conference
The Golden State Warriors won 21 of their 23 opening matches and topped the Western Conference standing, they will be relying on Stephen Curry to perform like he did last season by leading them to win the Larry O'Brien trophy.


Moves
Lamarcus Aldridge was the biggest move during the off season he moved to Texas and joined the San Antonio Spurs, he's been touted as  replacement for Tim Duncan.
The LA Clippers have being busy as they recruited Lance Stephenson who arrived from Charlotte as well as  Paul Pierce and Pablo Prigioni.





Will the Golden state Warriors successfully defend their title this and more will be the decided on the way to NBA 2016 Finals.

Down the Rabbit Hole West Ham vs Chelsea

And who will Mourinho Blame this time Peter Cech oops he gifted him to Arsenal who are on fire right now,  guess its time for mourinho to resign he has lost his head, can't control his player again.
Or better still talk less and accept you are in deep shit, pardon my French. 


During Moyes reign at Manchester United it was not this bad or was it, kind of feel for chelsea, Injury prone Andy carroll won it for West ham who are now in the top 4 where chelsea used to be,   and condemn Chelsea to their 5th defeat of the Season.

Zarate scored WestHam first goal

                                                    Andy headed in the winning goal 

Matic got a red card, Mourinho and his assistance both sent to the stand, a disallowed goal like all this happened in one game, like my naija people will say whoever is jazzed Chelsea this season his/her juju must be really strong.




For the sake of his reputation and that of Chelsea FC think its time my man to move on you have lost it in every way. be the bigger man for once and leave.


                                                 This should not be happening at all

MARTIAL AT IT AGAIN

goals in 9 matches and just 19, God sent us the real Angel, falling more and more in love with this lad, he's got my heart.  Even though he gifted CSKA Moscow a penalty, he speared MUFC blushes last night, Rooney learn a thing or two from this guy still don't know why he played the full match. Its time to bench the dude and let him think to get himself back to scoring.

I gift you this Penalty

Watch me Score

Thanks Valencia


If Memphis can be benched for been a selfish arse pardon my words  then Rooney should be, memphis don't know where it all went wrong for him trying to prove or justify the number 7 given to him, think the number is cursed, Valencia wore it for a season and dropped it,
All Memphis needs to do is calm down and play with the flow, Gragra does not cut it for me and its not damn sexy. We need you back playing the way you did in PSV. Or is it Karrueche got you all messed up.
                                               

Rooney complains after CSKA were awarded a Penalty

Review on the PSG vs Real Madrid Match

Seems Real Madrid have gone soft playing under Rafael Benitez played out a boring goalless draw was really expecting some fierce match, even dear CR7 has forgotten how play a free kick, it suppose to be played over the defence wall and not hitting Zlatan's head or groin, seems to me he was aiming to break  Zlatan Ibrahimovic's nose. 


 Hey wait cant you see this lad is trying to get a picture


                                             What about me don't i get a hug
And by the way why does CR7 always and always showing off, take some few step back and then spread his legs whenever he wants to take a free kick didn't work yesterday, change dear your style is so old fashion. When things don't go his way during the match he runs into the tunnel after the final whistle goes, always suckling like a baby. Dude the show is not only about you.
So Zlatan also took a free kick and hit the defence wall,  maybe it was just not their night.
Di maria Di maria in his bid to prove something against his club he got lost while trying didn't seem to show up and was subsequently replaced after 67 minutes. Tired his best I give him a 4/10. 
Star of the night was Blaise Matuidi gave his best and had their only attempt on goal in the first half. I give him a 7/10.
 Di maria could not do this against his former club.

The One That Got Away DE BRUYNE

To think Mourinho sold this very hot talented player what was he actually think at that point he decided to sell him off, Good looking, young, goal machine way better than the thug he has in Diego Costa and you sold him. Chelsea's loss MCFC's gain.
                                                   De Bruyne while at Chelsea

If Chelsea had De Bruyne were will they be definitely in the top 4 . And Mourinho will complain less and focus on his team, my advice to him leave Arsene Wenger and the FA alone, let your talking be on the pitch.
                           If these two want to fight get into the Ring and throw some punches

 Everybody is bound to make a mistake just as the Great Sir Alex Ferguson did with Pogba by letting him go for free, Mourinho might have just gifted the Premier League to Manchester city by selling off De Bruyne, not only did he let go DeBruyne he also sold Mata to Manchester United like any way thank you.


Can't believe am saying this but I feel that the noisy neighbours will go far in the champions league this season, scared of playing them on sunday , Manchester derby is going to be hot on Sunday. Hope De Bruyne breaks his leg before Sunday wicked me how will the MUFC defence cope with De bruyne and co. Thank God Aguero is out dude always scores against MUFC.
De bruyne the saviour nicked it for Manchester city last night against Sevilla. Will he do just that against their fiercest rival i hope not.
