"WE WILL SURPRISE OUR CRITICS AGAINST BAYERN MUNICH" -Arsenal Boss, Arsene Wenger

-

According to his newsletter to Arsenal's supporters on Monday 17th, February, 2014, "Our intensity was impressive'

Dear Arsenal supporter,

It was such a big win for us on Sunday.

We needed to respond to our defeat at Anfield and, of course, we want to do well in the FA Cup. The intensity of our performance was impressive and you could sense our determination to get the right result.

We had a clinical desire from the first whistle to the last and I thought it was a great game between two very good teams. Liverpool are a strong team, they can create chances against anyone, but we had chances to score more goals too.

Defensively we were resilient, we were focused, and we looked like a strong unit despite the changes I made. Most of them were for medical reasons but all of the players who came in did well. It shows we have strength in depth.

Lukasz Fabianski was always going to play and I had no hesitation about that because I rate him highly. I have a huge respect for him and his attitude and his quality. He made some very important saves, including one in the first few minutes when Liverpool started strongly again.

Yaya Sanogo made his first start and, considering he is only just back from an injury, he was absolutely excellent. It was an intense game but he was always involved and he was a handful for Liverpool's defenders.

Nicklas Bendtner was another option for Sunday and he works very hard in training, but I wanted to give a chance to Sanogo. I think overall the performance of Sanogo justified it.

We have drawn Everton in the sixth round of the FA Cup and that will be a similar match to Sunday's. They are very, very good going forward and we'll need to control that game, but of course we have some time to think about it.

First of all let's focus on the Champions League and Bayern Munich. It is important to go into Wednesday's game without any negative pressure and Sunday's win will help us in that regard.

Everybody is saying that Bayern will win but I trust the spirit and the quality of my team to create a surprise. We are not the favourites but in football the favourite doesn't always win.

Thanks for your support".

Arsène Wenger

Sonorous-voiced songstress Busola Oke aka Eleyele must surely be in somber mood now as her father, Professor Akande, a retired professor of the University of Lagos is dead. The family of the singer, Eleyele, last week has been receiving condolence visits from numerous sympathizers since the retired university don breathed his last breath last Monday 14th November 2011, at the State Hospital Ado Ekiti. Late professor Akande, we gathered, had a mere sickness of which the family then rushed him down to hospital, but unfortunately for him, he lost his life on his way to the said hospital in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State. But the unwholesome story we are hearing from Busola’s end, we gathered, that the Eleyele crooner, since demise of her father has not visited her immediate family home to commiserate with her other immediate family members, allegedly giving the impression that Busola is not showing any sign of concern about her father’s death. But in another development, it was gathered that B

A star in the making is right now hugging the Nigerian entertainment industry, in the person of multi-talented actor, Rilwan Adisa Ologolo otherwise known as Benzemaa.   He is the first Child of his mum and only child of his Father who died many years ago, particularly when he was 2 year old.   He grew up at Berkley Street, Obalende but he hails from the Ologolo family in Eti Osa Local Government, Lagos Island.  Though he is no longer new in the show business but as the saying goes, a patient dog eats the fattest bone, which is what aptly illustrates his journey into acting. The journey started for him in 2007 when he joined a Drama Club owned by the Vice Principal of his school. Thereafter, his friend who is also an actor, Azeez Ijaduade invited him to his group. Then, Benzemaa was still at Falomo Senior High School, Lagos.   He was there doing his thing quietly until 2013 when he took part in a movie titled Dayanmo, and since then, there is no going back for him.
