Why Chelsea are the most hated team in the Premier League


Chelsea have been voted the most hated team in the Premier League. 
We are least surprised.
Let’s face it, Chelsea FC are hated. This fact isn’t subject to any form of debate. Ever wondered why people loathe the club so much? The reasons (my point of view) are two and are not far-fetched. From observation, most of their fans are aggressive and loud-mouthed. No apologies!
Chelsea fans are ubiquitous. In a football viewing center consisting of 50 fans, 25 support The Blues, others root for Manchester United, Arsenal and the rest. 15 out of the 25 will shout you down when you say anything against the club, the other 10 only watch and nod in agreement or disagreement. The ones that are active on social media will shut the internet down when they win and maintain pin-drop silence when they lose. Infact they come after supporters of other clubs and remind them of how their manager has failed to produce an epl title over the years. (Whispers Arsenal)  or how they walloped them 5-0 several seasons ago. Don’t get me wrong, fans of other club do this too but Chelsea fans take the lead.
The second reason, Jose Mourinho. He revels in conflict. His inflammatory statements and personal attacks on colleagues and (other) football players excite not a few Chelsea fans. Infact, during one of his reigns at the club, he criticized their supporters saying he found their lack of noise (have Chelsea fans ever lacked noise?) frustrating adding that they make it difficult for his players.   

Maybe everything will change now that they have a new manager.

In her remarks, Mrs Linus spoke passionately about the need for educating the African Child and how DRY has been shifting conversations around the world, thereby shinning the spotlight on the African girl-child. “As we watch this movie and as we discuss here today, let it be foremost in our minds that the education of girls, especially the most marginalized, is key to their survival & that of the future generation,” she said.

The Canadian High Commissioner also reiterated the Canadian government’s commitment to gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, while highlighting some of their recent campaign efforts in Nigeria and other African countries.

Publisher of Bubbles releases 3rd Edition of INFLYT Magazine

After ten years of creating premium music and entertainment content, the publishers of Bubbles Magazine has taken a detour and reinvented it as INFLYT, a travel, tourism and lifestyle magazine given out at airports and other travel hubs.

As the name might suggest, INFLYT is an in-flight magazine, provided for travelers across the Nigerian airspace.
According to publisher Gokay Oludare, “We were at the forefront of shaping the Nigerian music industry with Bubbles at the start of the millennium. We celebrated and shone lights on many of the world famous music artistes in Nigeria while they were yet unknown and we can safely say that our mission in that area has been accomplished.”
Drawing on their experience in media and publishing, they have created a first-rate publication to accompany air travelers through their flights. INFLYT contains features and articles from world class writers and journalists from all genres- travel, business, arts, entertainment, sports etc; as well as breathtaking photography.

“In Nigeria, over five million people travel by air each air and the spike has helped the travel and hospitality industry grow in no small measure, and the number of “transumers” (traveling consumers) has multiplied over the years. The best way to entertain all of these travelers when they’re airborne is by the way of a quality in-flight magazine that entertains as well as it informs”, says the Editor, Jide Taiwo.

The third edition of the new INFLYT Magazine came out today and is covered by The CEO, the latest movie by Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan. It also features several tourism articles, travel tips, sports, entertainment and so much more.

“The reception since our first two editions has been encouraging and we’re excited about the new opportunities tourism holds for Nigeria. It is huge and we haven’t even begun to scratch the surface yet”, Taiwo concludes.

INFLYT is available at the local wings of the Murtala Mohammed Airport (MM2 and GAT1) and also at Nnamdi Azikwe Airport, Port Harcourt International Airport, Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport.

Man City's new away kit is all shades of cool.

Mixed reactions have continued to trail Manchester City’s new away kit but i think it is cool. see what the club had to say about it on its website, mancity.com.
Inspired by the iconic red and black striped away kit of the 1960s, both colours return to City’s change strip for the first time since the unforgettable 2011/12 title winning season.
The 2016/17 instalment also includes a Manchester icon, with the yellow detailing referencing the worker bee, which has been synonymous with the City of Manchester since the Industrial Revolution and has featured on the city’s coat of arms since 1842. 

As a nod to the bee’s eye-catching stripes, vibrant yellow detailing, including a reimagined version of the new club crest, embellish our new away kit’s distinctive black body and red shoulder and sleeves.

As with the 2016/17 home kit, the alternate also has two tributes knitted into the design: the word “City” at the back of the collar, and, on the inside of the cuffs, “Est. 1894” feature as another reminder of the club’s storied history and reference to the new badge.
