world’s fattest 4-year-old

Lu Zhi-hao, who is 110cms tall from Shunde, Guangdong, is being taken by his concerned parents to Hong Kong to try and tackle his obesity.

Dubbed by Chinese media as China’s “no. 1 fat kid” Lu Zhi-hao, known as Xiao Hoa, has been taken to several hospitals in Guangdong to find out why he’s so fat, but doctors can only say that it is down to bad eating habits, Apple Daily reports.

If something is not done to reduce his weight, doctors predict Lu Zhi-hao’s obesity will become life-threatening by the time he turns 20.More pictures when you continue

Aston Villa - An Example to Follow?

Last season for Aston Villa was one of the worst they had endured in the Premier League; Alex McLeish had taken over at Villa Park joining from arch rivals Birmingham City. The fans automatically before he was even offered the job staged a protest reacting angrily to rumours Lerner was set to offer him a contract. McLeish accepted the offer from Lerner, the fans anger wasn’t just at the club he had joined from but they believed he was tactically inept to manage such a big club. He had however won the Carling cup with Birmingham City after beating favourites Arsenal 2-1; this was short-lived as the club were relegated to the Npower Championship. The fans were on his back from the very start of the season, low attendances for what usually is a rocking full house at Villa Park. The fans worries began to surface, poor performances at both home and away, squad selection also began to raise eyebrows with Warnock and Hutton playing out wide as wingers and even some occasions misfiring striker Heskey was played out wide. McLeish and his negative tactics were not welcome at Aston Villa, the fans vented there frustration with banners and choruses of boos met the Scottish manager at half time. His plan of trying to contain much better opponents for 90 minutes continually backfired and Villa would come off losers, this wasn’t because they were a poor side on paper they should of easily been hitting he top half instead they were fighting relegation. The season ended with Aston Villa sitting in 16th place just two points off relegation, this was too close and Lerner called a meeting with McLeish where he was sacked from his post. The Villains will be hoping they can get back to their best where they were fighting to get in the top 4 alongside Martin O’Neil, can Paul Lambert do the same. 

The squad McLeish had at his disposal last season didn’t lack quality, Agbonlahor, Nzogbia, Ireland, Given all experienced players that should of helped Aston Villa to a much stronger position last season. The youth academy at Aston Villa has produced some brilliant youth players; Gary Gardner is one of the brightest prospects at the club although he is currently out for the season with a serious injury. Paul Lamberts transfer activity this window was intriguing to say the least, instead of going for older experienced professionals who have played for some of the top teams he has gone to the lower leagues and signed youngsters with an appetite to succeed. This is great for English football, lower league players are being given a chance at some of the most illustrious clubs in the Premier League. Matthew Lowton signed for Aston Villa from Sheffield United, the right back is only 23 years old so has plenty of time to mature and improve in what looks to be a fruitful career. Joe Bennett, Ashley Westwood, Jordan Bowery and Christian Benteke are the remaining of Lamberts new recruits at Villa Park, with all four of them not breaking over 22 years of age there plans for the future, right? Lambert has already thrown Lowton into the premier League and his faith has been restored with solid performances. Lambert seems to be a firm believer if you’re good enough then age and experience don’t play a part in his selection. These signings are also relatively unknown to those who don’t follow anything other than their own domestic leagues with Westwood playing in the third tier of English football not renowned for world class talent. Benteke was recruited after a rather drawn out saga from Genk in the Belgium League, Lambert is looking to unfavourable leagues to pick up young talented players for a third of the price that would be paid for big name players in the more well-known leagues. 

So, is this an example more teams should follow. It will help not only to improve the national squad because of the amount of English players now turning out for teams in the Premier League but the finance from these deals to smaller sides will help them in improving there infastructure. This could help them to be sustainable in the future and advancements in youth academies could mean the production of talent through the ranks could increase in quality; all of this will only help to improve the lower leagues. Broadcast companies such as Sky and ESPN could then look to sign lucrative deals with teams as the standard of football has improved more people will enjoy watching it; this also ties in with finance with smaller teams the money can then be used to once again improve the club. Another plus for young players coming from unknown teams and less favourable leagues is they have a huge appetite for the game. Older players have experienced everything in the game and with huge contracts that will keep them financially sorted for the rest of their lives which can mean they may not put in the required effort. Young players want to impress, they will run for 90 minutes to show the manager that they are good enough and will do anything he requires of them for the team. Lambert has recognised that and with Hutton and Warnock’s exclusion from the first team has clearly meant that they don’t have the required ability and enthusiasm for the game as his young apprentices do. Brendan Rodgers was quoted saying

“Young players will run through a fence for you older players will look for the whole in the fence"

I think Lambert clearly has a plan in place he feel he can achieve at Aston Villa it will take time to adapt to and time needs to be given to him for it to be achieved. I’m sure Aston Villa fans would prefer to see younger less experienced players giving 110% rather than older players giving 95%. Aston Villa fans what do you think of lamberts philosophy do you agree leave comment below. Football fans do you think the whole of football will benefit from younger lower league players being given the chance on the big stage leave a comment below on your opinions.

NextGen Series - The Future of Youth

The NextGen tournament was founded in August 27th 2011, ever since its introduction it’s pitched some of the most illustrious clubs young talents against each other in a European tournament. The tournament included clubs such as FC Barcelona, Liverpool, Sporting Lisbon and Aston Villa. The clubs are famed for not only for their European triumph in competitions such as the Champions League and the Europa League, but also there academy’s that have produced world class players that are still gracing some of the most historic pitches in football. It started off as a more experimental competition not knowing if it would become as successful and profitable as it has become, youth team football isn’t the most watched spectacle of the game as it’s mainly played behind closed doors or at academies with a crowd of just over a 100 people. The NextGen series has challenged this concept and taken U19 football and put it on the European stage in a format that follows the Champions League. They also had fixtures at grounds such as Villa Park famous for their 1982 European Cup triumph and Anfield the home of five times European champions; it would give the clubs youth prospects experience of playing in a stadium capable of holding over 45,000 supporters. So, is the NextGen reshaping the foundations of youth football and taking it to a new level?

Woman delivers horse in Edo church

 

Worshippers of the World Liberation Ministry located along old Sapele-Benin express road on Tuesday took to their heels during a prophesy programme when a female member delivered a horse.

The horse was however dead by the time Journalists visited the church. It was gathered that the woman whose identity was not yet known started screaming during the prayer session and began to bleed from the vagina before the horse came out.

The General Overseer of the church, Evangelist Silva Wealth, said he was still amazed at what came out of the woman.

He told Journalists that during prayers a revelation came that there was a woman with an issue and that something was blocking her womb. 

Silva said as prayers intensified, the woman started screaming and bleeding started when the object came out.

The cleric said he couldn’t confirm whether the horse was dead or alive because he didn’t go near it.  

 “I can’t describe the object. We have seen people that vomited several things during our service but not this type of thing. God has been blessing our ministry with prophesies and miracles, “he said.

People rushed to the church to catch a glimpse of the horse when news of the delivery filtered into town.

Pepe Reina - Youthful Competiton

Pepe Reina has been at Liverpool since 2005; he has racked up over 350 appearances for the Mersey side club and has been a first team regular ever since Benitez signed the Spanish stopper. There’s no denying Reina when on form can make some impressive saves, however when he isn’t having a particularly good game which in all honesty is becoming a more frequent scenario he can easily make mistakes that cost his side games. Reina's main problem is consistency, this isn’t one of his strengths and this hurts not only his own confidence but the players around him the defence become more worried that a mistake will happen once a shot is stuck at goal.

Saved By The Ditch

There are things we can't change and things we don't want to change. Things we could have changed and things we dare not change due to the satisfaction we derive from them. Like spending my Sunday morning at home, sweating profusely on a supposed chorister from one of the new generation churches on the eve of christmas, whao! That was fun and it's one of those things you don't get a chance to do often. As clock alarm beeped and she jumped off the bed and off to the reading table to check the time. 

Premier League - Young Talents

 

Carl Jenkinson- The Arsenal right back has made 12 appearances for his club and the majority of those were in a spell in the first stages of last season. This proved to be a tough start to his Arsenal career, he was a full backs dream inexperienced and a tendency to make sloppy mistakes that led to either a goal or pressure on his fellow defenders. His worst game probably came against Manchester United in which the eventful game finished 8-2 in the red devils favour, he was constantly troubled and looked well out of his comfort zone. He did collect an assist however setting up Van Persie to bring the score to 6-2, in the 76th minute Carl Jenkinson was given a red card for two bookable offences to bring his nightmare to an abrubt end.

Premier League - Team of the Week

 

Goalkeeper- Brad Guzan, The Aston Villa shot stopper re-joined the Villains after initially leaving at the end of his contract. Brad Guzan has made only 9 appearances for Aston Villa, his lack of first team opportunities is down to fellow goalkeeper Shay Given. The ex-Republic of Ireland international is an outstanding keeper a veteran of the Premier League and is someone a team can rely on. Given however made a horrendous error that allowed Fellaini's rather feeble header to end up in the back of the net. Paul Lambert obviously feels no player is untouchable regardless of stature and was quoted saying he will choose out of training between the two goalkeepers who he wanted to start the match against Newcastle United. The American had an outstanding game on Tyneside making several outstanding games that kept his side in the game which eventually finished 1-1. In what was essentially the last kick of the game, a free kick from French international Yohan Cabaye was struck well and was heading into the back of the net only to find Brad Guzan sprawling to his right and make a tremendous save. Lambert entrusted him with a start for Aston Villa and he justified that decision, for his performance he deserves to be in team of the week.

THE LOVE CYCLE (getting the milk for free)

How beautiful is your love life? Love they say is the conglomeration of likeness, thinking obsessively about something, you appreciate someone, you like someone, the feelings grow by the day and you like the person even more, you enjoy the mood and you want to say something, or probably you want to say a lot of things, just to declare to the world how much you love this thing but you try to dance to the cliché "slow and steady wins the race".
