Hello and welcome to the late night sports by me FT9. Tonight we look at some of  the stories that are making the headlines and the ones dying out of relevance.  MORATA HAS A NEW ROLE  Alvaro Morata was purchased by Chelsea for a whopping 70million euros last summer to replace Diego costa . Since then he has managed to bang in 12 goals in all competitions . Most of his goals came a result of long crosses -- which he comfortably managed to  head into the net. Morata is a good player but truth be told , he is not the best out there when it comes to scoring. Every player has his good and bad times , Morata however has something which could better be described as a Hell time!  In the Game at the Emirates stadium against Arsenal Fc, he managed to squander an astonishing 3 head on , One on One chances with Petr Cech. This brought up serious questions about his quality --eligibility , to be in the starting line up for Chelsea . Costa had some b...

THE TRANSFER WINDOW  Manchester United  its time for the board to see that the image of the club is dimming . Man U at this point should invest heavily on their club or I'm sorry to say but they will always be second to Man city or chelsea or real madrid and Barcelona Now that Cristiano Ronaldo's future at real Madrid is not certain ; they can make a bid for him . with CR7 infront of Pogba , they will be feared once again. Yaya Toure has the strength and Physique which is perfect for Mou's Sturdy style of play . Get him and pair him with Matic and Pogba in the Midfield and You Literally have Gladiators in your Midfield. DEFENSIVELY Mourinho should bury his Ego and Pride and grab David Luiz before its too late. It will cost but it surely is worth it  CHELSEA Chelsea's summer tranfer was something like going into the mall  with all the money in the world but your parents will only let you buy what they think its best for you -- Sad! Chelse...

The English premier league is the best league in the world , second to none .  some people may argue about the quality , because the league does not produce much champions in European competitions like the Champios league and the Europa league . The EPL most at times fall short in qualifying to advance rounds of European Competitions and this among other things blurs the supremacy of the league .  The excuse given by most EPL managers for failing in the Champions league or the  Europa league is : "Fatigue" "the league is like a world cup tournament " "bla bla bla" You might think  these excuses are just mere excuses but no they are not. A close examination shows that the "fatigue excuse" is in fact a thing in the premier league. EPL CHRISTMAS LEAGUE What is the EPL Christmas League ? Narration by Morgan Freeman The Premier league Christmas league is played within the month of December and ends on New yea...

Referees play a major role in every sporting activity. From the Umpire in tennis to the video Referees in basketball, these men and women serve as neutral grounds between the left wing and the right wing. Some people argue as to why one person should be given the power to control an instance of a multi-million-dollar industry -- Sports -- well the short and simple answer to this misconception is that Referees don't control the game; they simply keep the game balanced and in keeping the game balanced they depict some veto power, which is unquestionable on the field of play but subject to review after a game -- lots of power for one person right?  Some Refs though seem to be corruptible and if they are bought , they become bad influence .  Referees are the most honest and trustworthy humans in the world. Referees are groomed and trained to the highest level and sometimes physically tested to meet the requirement  of an athlete. Honest...

Welcome welcome welcome! Its another weekend and I'm here to give you your weekly dose of Sports by FT9 .  This week we look at Something odd -- maybe not all that odd -- abstract ? Not abstract either .  Today we look at Mixed Gender Sports(MGS) .  What is MGS ? Mixed Gender Sports is a natural disaster phenomenon which occurs when you put males and females together on the same pitch or court or whatever to play competitively.  Why is MGS even a thing ?  Feminism . F eminism  is a range of  political movements ,  ideologies , and  social movements  that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve political, economic, personal, and social equality of sexes. so yeah there you have it . Rights for equal goals is why women now want to play alongside men .

Football is the most played and highly televised sport in the world . Football is the fuel for excitement and to some extent heart breaks. Every sport like football has rules and these rules make the game more competitive and attractive, these rules keeps the animal side of us in the bag and creates fairness. Football is sometimes considered as one of the most boring sport in the world because of some rules in the game.  Yes! the  rules are the culprits here - Hopefully not all of them. Tonight we are going to look at the bad ones and reasons why they need to go. 1.OFFSIDES  yes , you can go ahead and make all the noise that they make the game interesting and really nobody argues to the fact that a defensive team intentionally drawing up to set up an offside trap when they are leading makes the game overly dramatic. The reason why offside rules was brought up was because English public schools in the early 1800's wanted to make  it harder for g...
