According to him, “Contrary to a widely held notion, the success of a marriage largely rests on the woman. But these days, a lot of marriages are based on equality.

Jose Mourinho only saw enough from Anthony Martial at the weekend to name the forward on the Manchester United bench against Hull on Wednesday. An impressive maiden season at Old Trafford has been followed by a frustrating second campaign for the 21-year-old attacker. Martial has netted six goals in 22 appearances since Jose Mourinho’s arrival and the United boss has not been afraid to leave him out of the squad, never mind the starting lineup, at times. Questions over the player’s happiness increased after recently being omitted from the league match at Stoke and EFL Cup semifinal second leg against…
Arsene Wenger has said that Arsenal “were not mentally ready” to deal with Watford’s physical play in Tuesday’s 2-1 loss at the Emirates, and was left questioning why his team keeps getting off to bad starts in games. Arsenal were 2-0 down after just 13 minutes as Watford dominated the first half, using their size advantage in almost every position to prevent the Gunners from establishing their normal passing game in the steady rain. Alex Iwobi pulled a goal back in the second half, but Arsenal could not find an equaliser and fell nine points behind leaders Chelsea in a…

The Gunners pulled a goal back through Alexi Iwobi, who guided home at the back post from Alexis Sanchez’s chip. But Arsene Wenger, who was watching from the stands due to suspension, saw his side fail to…

Take for instance Tinubu’s recent comments. While presenting a paper at the National Defence College in Abuja, Tinubu all but rubbished the economic policies of the Muhammadu Buhari administration. Just in case you’ve been under some rock in the last three years, Tinubu was instrumental in forging the alliance that saw Buhari become President in 2015.
