THE SIGN OF A CHAMPION



Having called his Chelsea team of last season “the little Horse” it is no surprise that Jose Mourinho expects this little Horse to come of age this season and that have happened.
Looking at the aggressive and strategic way in which they shopped for players to fill the gaps left by Lampard in the midfield and Didier Drogba in the striking department in his active era, one begins to feel their intentions for the season.
Having out muscled the entire premier league clubs they faced in the early stages of the season, a little setback came along the way in the name of Newcastle united but that was temporary because it didn’t last neither did it prevent the acceleration of the blues and their dominance at the top.  

Again, when a team is destined to be champion, luck plays an important role in aiding their success. That was why when Manchester city their closest rival at the moment had an opportunity of topping the table for the first time this season after Chelsea’s loss to New castle and a series of draws, they fumbled all the way until the Jose Mourinho’s side recovered. To add to the woes of Manuel Pelegrini’s side, the African nation’s cup arrived and snatched Yaya Toure and the dynamic Wilfred Bony away and kept them for a long time in Africa leaving Manchester city without a win throughout their stay in Africa. It could be a mere coincidence or misfortune but whatever it is, it became an advantage that kept the London side seven points ahead of their closest rival.
The arrival of Fabrigas, Willlian and Diago Costa as well as that of the enigmatic club legend Drogba turned everything around and without doubt made the men from Stamford Bridge a title winning side, a side that never gives up, a team made up of dogged fighters who struggle to the last whistle. It was exemplified in their last game against a rugged Everton where it took a 98minutes Willian goal to settle the scores and maintain their edge. Having added Juan Caudrado in the fold, there is no more contention about the message passed across.
This is the deadliest team in the premier league at the moment and certainly ranks among the best in Europe of today. Love them, hate them, they look set for an unprecedented glory in days to come.

The Walsh Captain, who only on one occasion previously have let loose his hair have always parked while on the pitch. There have been other times he let the hair fly though it was not intentional.

Lunar eclipse The longest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century occurs on July 27 – this is what you need to know. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the entire Moon enters Earth’s shadow. The July 27 eclipse will last for 1 hour and 43 minutes, according to NASA . The Moon will turn a red or ruddy-brown color during the “blood moon eclipse,” Space.com reports. Skywatchers in the U.S will not be able to enjoy the rare event, unless they are willing to travel. The eclipse will be mainly visible in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia as well as some parts of South America. “For an especially long-lasting total lunar eclipse of 1 hour and 43 minutes to occur, the moon has to pass through the central part of the Earth’s shadow,” explains EarthSky. “The previous total lunar eclipse on January 31, 2018, didn’t last as long (1 hour and 16 minutes) because the moon passed to the south of shadow’s center; and the next total lunar eclipse on January 21, 2019 , won’t be as long eith
