Early on, Thibaut Courtois saved James Morrison's penalty; however, Pedro, fired in before setting up Diego Costa for the second goal. Morrison then atoned for his earlier error with a crisp strike before Cesar Azpilicueta made it 3-1 at the break. Terry saw red for a second-half foul on Salomon Rondon.

English Premier League Fixtures

Manchester United will be hosting Newcastle United in the early kick-off on Saturday. Manchester United has had a good start this season, winning both their first games; however, Louis Van Gaal will be looking at stepping up the results by getting more goals against Newcastle. Newcastle on the other hand is working at rebuilding their team back to the topflight team they used to be; unless Steve McLaren can get his Newcastle side to shut out United, which looks unlikely this match is possibly a Manchester United victory.

Enyimba 1-0 Kano Pillars

The defending champions Kano Pillars came to Aba with the mind of taking something from the Elephants. However, Enyimba proved to be the team in top form in league. Ifeanyi George scored from the spot to take the Aba team to the top of the Premier League.

Enyimba is  the team with the best away records in the league, winning 4 and drawing 5 of 12 games. If this were replicated at home, they would have been leading the pack by some margin by now. Still, they are second on the table having lost the fewest number of games in total. It would take some display for the defending champions Kano Pillars to upset the Aba Elephants.

Nigeria Premier League Round Up

Two away wins and a draw out of the ten Nigeria Premier League matches played over the weekend. With these result Sunshine Stars are reclaimed the top spot on the league table.

English Premier League Round Up

What an incredible start in the English Premier league! Courtois sent off! Arsenal off with loss! And lots of goals!

Manchester United        1-0          Tottenham
An unfortunate start for Kyle Walker of Tottenham, while trying to nick the ball off Wayne Rooney, he ended up putting the ball in his own net. Tottenham deserved a draw a least in this match. Manchester United was always on the back foot; Tottenham created more chances, but they have to move on to the next game.

" 'Kyle Walker OG’ is an anagram of ‘Leaky Legwork’ ”  - Conor McNamara on twitter.
A superb summary by the twitter user!

Christian Inspiration: Fire Up Your Creativity

This article belongs to Dr. C. I. and I have his permission to reproduce it here on this blog. More inspiring articles by Dr C. I. can be found on The Comfort Zone.
 

Fire Up Your Creativity

Matthew 25:13-30, Gen 6:8, Matt 3:8, James 2:18
 
Men and brethren, there is no creation without the act of creativity. No man can rise above the level of his imagination to be a creator. When you imagine what you desire, you will possess what you imagine. Therefore, the ability of making the simple awesomely simple is creativity. You are fired up in creativity when you become a doer of your creative thinking. In the Parable of the talent in Matthew 25:13-30, talent is the element of money. It is indeed unfortunate that the term “talent” means something very different today from what our Lord meant when He told this parable. The talent was the largest measurement of money in those days. Since a talent was actually a measurement of weight, it did not have a constant value. A talent of gold, for example, would be worth a whole lot more than a talent of bronze. While commentators differ somewhat over the approximate value of a talent in today’s economy, all would agree that it was a large amount of money. Some say that it was the equivalent to 20 years’ wages for a common labourer. We must remember, then, that a talent is a measure of money; it is not a reference to abilities. The talents were distributed on the basis of ability, not as the bestowing of ability. “And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey” Matthew 25:15
