Is this how Liverpool want to win the Premier League?

Latest entertainment gist

Liverpool football club are quite the enigma aren’t they?

Just when the chips are down and the world has written them off, they turn the tides around and leave the world talking. It happened against Barcelona in the famous Anfield massacre of Lionel Messi and crew after trailing 3-0 at the Camp Nou on May 7 2019. The infamous Miracle of Merseyside they would call it. The night Liverpool once more showed the world never to write them off, in anything.

A lot of people called it luck. Some say it is due to Barcelona being bad on the night. Instances were brought about why same Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp could not do it against Real Madrid or on some other nights.

Luck, miracle, fate, either one people choose to call it, engineering comebacks, creating a win out of and from nothing is what Liverpool have been known for and possibly will continue doing in Klopp’s final season with the club and perhaps, after the Old man is long gone. But is this how the mighty Reds want to win the league? Can they go on to win the league just by sheer mentality and resilience? What exactly is Jurgen Klopp telling this team that magic and moments are created out of thin air?

Saturday, against Nottingham Forest, at minute 99 was when vintage Liverpool surfaced once more to rescue all 3-points at the City Ground; an infamous ground that the Reds had gone 40-years without securing a premier league/first division win at.

Is this how Liverpool want to win the Premier League?

From out of nothing, Alexis Mac Alister crafted an assist for Darwin Nunez to head free on goal to secure a 0-1 win back to Merseyside. Again, all chips were down, Liverpool rivals; Arsenal and Manchester City were high on their seat, elated that the Reds would drop points to allow them a chance at the top of the table this weekend. But alas, the ‘shit Andy Carroll’ that premier league rival clubs call Nunez, came to the vanguard to crush the ‘enemies’ hopes.

If Liverpool are going to win the premier league this season, they will fancy breaking hearts while at it.

No, today isn’t the day Liverpool lose its hold on the top spot, Darwin Nunez said after coming on as a substitute from bench. The Uruguayan took things personal, and personal it got.

It wasn’t the first time he had done so. He did it against Newcastle United, earlier in the season when he again came from bench to win the game for Liverpool despite the Reds being a-man down to a flying Newcastle side.

Darwin Nunez wasn’t the only one to do same this season, Harvey Elliott did the same against Crystal Palace at the Selhurst Park, Diogo Jota as well has done it this season, then let’s not forget the famous Luis Diaz’s header to rescue a point for Liverpool against Luton Town at Kenilworth Road last year just after his dad was kidnapped.

Fate, luck, resilience–how long can Liverpool keep riding on these? Can they keep on challenging for the premier league title by carving out miracles? Or will they eventually run out of luck and resilience, with fate ultimately changing hands?

“My dad Wizkid is not the one begging for pussy” — Son

Latest entertainment gist

When it comes to savage responses, the Baloguns specifically those related to Wizkid by blood, are not to be trifled with and being Davido does not save you from such.

In a recent social media exchange, 13-year-old Boluwatife Balogun, the eldest son of renowned Nigerian artiste Wizkid, threw some savage response at his father’s rival, David Adeleke following their online spat.

Facing some online banter from a Davido fan, Boluwatife Balogun came to his father’s defense rather than keep mute.

The ongoing rivalry between Wizkid and Davido escalated in recent days, with both artistes engaging in public spats and trading insults online. Davido, responding to Wizkid’s jibes, took aim at Wizkid’s physical stature, claiming that Wizkid is so short that he wears size 7 shoes and jokingly suggesting he shops at Footlocker Kids.

Some individuals on social media supported Davido’s claims by sharing photos purportedly showing Wizkid wearing shoes matching his son Bolu’s shoe size.

Davido further escalated the feud by disparaging Wizkid’s music, boasting about his own hits, and challenging Wizkid to release new music simultaneously. He also ridiculed Wizkid’s height, suggesting that despite his own short stature, Wizkid is even shorter.

A Davido fan, seizing the opportunity to taunt Wizkid’s family, commented on Boluwatife Balogun’s TikTok page, asking if it was true that both Bolu and his father wear the same shoe size.

Bolu promptly responded to the taunt, defending his father by highlighting Wizkid’s character and integrity, asserting that despite any jokes about shoe sizes, his father doesn’t stoop to begging for attention or engaging in inappropriate behavior.
