Real Deal Or Pretenders: Can Tottenham Hotspur Really Win The Premier League Title?

Six wins, 2 draws and no defeat after 8 games played, Tottenham Hotpsur are living the dream and slowing turning doubters into believers. When Tottenham lost their best player to Bayern Munich, nobody would have imagined they'd go on a serious pursuit of the title. 

But it was a huge blessing in disguise for him to leave. Now there is a shared responsibility among the players to score goals. 

With Harry Make gone, everyone is accountable for each and every decision they make on the pitch and must prove to their manager Ange Postecoglou that they deserve to be in the team.

That added pressure coupled with the manager's tactical innovation has made Spurs a far better to watch and much more difficult team to beat. 

Fulham will be tough to beat but Spurs will win the game.

Presumptuous you might think but from the evidence on display, 'not through VAR though', it shows that Spurs are the real deal. Spurs can actually be champions. 

It's understandable if you are doubting Spurs title credentials having watched them for years disappoint everyone including themselves. When it feels like Spurs will finally win something, someone in the team those something silly and the entire club suffers. 

2023 could be the same as 2019, 2016 or even 2014. 

Those are memorable seasons Spurs created unforgettable memories by reaching finals but never had the balls to go all the way. Will this season be different or similar?

Maybe, Spurs have started the season brilliantly but what happens when the losing streak sets in? Can they dust themselves up and keep fighting or, will they crumble when the defeats pill up?  

And what of injuries? Long term injuries to maybe Heung Son Min, Richarlison or James Maddision. Can Spurs really cope without their star players? 

The next 5 game will be crucial, if Spurs maintain the winning momentum, you best start believing.

A Better Nigeria: What the Government must do to end food crises

What is wrong with Nigeria and its people? A sane question most people have asked for decades but little have figured out the problems. Those who have the amicable solution and well placed in positions to truly effect change are either been rigged out, threatened or even killed.   Tragic you would say, but there's more to the complex web of Nigeria's challenges and food crises is one of them which the incumbent president must deal with immediately.  Before taking over the mantle of leadership, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a series of promises and swiftly took action by removing fuel subsidy in his first day in office. Taking that action was bold and cold because no alternative was given.  The effect was an immediate increase in fuel which resulted in an increase in the cost of transportation of both perishable and imperishable goods. Businesses which where reliant on generators for power packed up while well established businesses were forced to retrench workers or pa...

4 Reasons Why Kylian Mbappe must join Liverpool rather than Real Madrid

For most players, Real Madrid and Barcelona are dream clubs to play for but they're also a lot of negatives that must be taken into account before making the move.  A typical example is Eden Hazard who is arguably the greatest player in Chelsea history and one of the best players in Premier League history. It was a very bad decision to switch from Chelsea to Real Madrid and the player has clearly admitted. Hazard retired at the age of 32.  Kylian Mbappe is without doubt a super player but, he needs to understand that Liverpool offers him a better chance to reach his full potential than Real Madrid and here are the reasons why: A. The Premier League is more competitive than La Liga and Liverpool is the best place for him - Apart from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, most people don't even bother watching other Spanish teams in the La Liga except their competing in the Champions League, Europa League or the Conference League. Kylian Mbappe needs to join Liverpool a te...

One trick pony: How Manchester City star Erling Haaland can be stopped

When it comes to consistency of goals scored, no other striker delivers like Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland. The Norwegian's an extraordinary player, a poacher of goals that should be the model for future strikers.  The Norwegian star is currently the quickest player in Premier League history to score 50 league goals, shattering Andrew Cole's previous record by 17 games after scoring the opening goal in Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Liverpool.  His conversion rate is bone chilling and definitely worrisome for opposition coaches who always seems confused on what must be done to stop Haaland. Stopping the 23-year-old is hard but possible.  Fact; Haaland do not score goals outside the 18-yard box. Since joining Manchester City from Borrusia Dortmund, Haaland has only managed to shoot 10 times outside the box and scored just once.  Why? He is an instinctive goal poacher whose short burst opens up space for him to shoot accurately to goal. His biggest strength...
