  • These 10 Pictures Will Make Any Arsenal Fan Cry

    Hi there, Arsenal fan. If you think we’re trying to make you nostalgic, you’re right. If you also think we’re trying to make you cry because your club is now in shambles, you’re also right.

    Just enjoy this throwback to the times when Arsenal used to be lit.

  • 24 Nigerian Musicians Reimagined As International Football Clubs
    In the spirit of football, Twitter user @Wac_clumsy re-imagined Nigerian musicians as international football clubs and the comparisons were too accurate.

    Here are the 24 musicians he compared to International football clubs:

    1. Davido- PSG

    Because Davido got to the top because of money and has been consistent since then.

    2. Tuface – Real Madrid

    Tuface has been awesome ever since and still bossing the industry.

    3. Skales – Arsenal FC

    Because he’s so close to making it, yet always so far.

    4. D’banj – Manchester United

    D’banj like Man-U was always bossing it till he changed management, then he dropped a bit but he bounced back.

    5. Burna boy – West Ham

    He is very good but never really gets the recognition he deserves.

    6. D’Prince – West Brom

    Known but hugely irrelevant.

    7. Pasuma – Juventus

    He is bossing it in a league of his own (Fuji).

    8. Seyi Shay – Aston Villa

    Always making stupid (in her case grammatical) errors and embarrassing herself.

    9. Patoranking – Athletico Madrid

    Patoranking came from nothing to try and upset the big boys.

    10. Olu maintain – QPR

    Gets relegated, bounces back, gets relegated again.

    11. Lynxx – Manchester City

    Although Lynxx made it because of the money, he has been hugely inconsistent.

    12. Darey – Barcelona

    Very good, sings with this charisma that only he has. One of the best.

    13. Viktoh – Sassuolo

    That’s right, so irrelevant!

    14. Adekunle Gold – Dortmund

    Came from nowhere, is very good and is loved by all.

    15. Sinzu – Valencia

    Your time at the top is over. Just stop making music.

    16. Ice Prince – Chelsea

    Made it, then started singing/playing rubbish.

    17. Vector – Liverpool

    Inconsistent and underrated.

    18. Olamide – Tottenham

    Using young boys to make it. Respect!

    19. Ycee – Leicester City

    Came from nothing and hugely making it.

    20. B-red – Monaco

    Very useless, upon all the money.

    21. 9ice – AC Milan

    His era of dominance is over.

    22. Reekado Banks – Watford

    He’s making a promising start so far.

    23. Sina Rambo – Portsmouth

    That one still dey sing sef?

    24. Phyno – Napoli

    Nobody understands him but he’s making it. Check out @Wac_Clumsy‘s Twitter account for more.
