SECRET TRICKS THAT WILL MAKE ANY WOMAN FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU { A MUST READ}

 

Are the ladies giving you a hard time? Are you one of those men who have never been that suave ladies man but always wanted to be? Do you think the ladies are the problem? or is it you?

Author and professional pick up artist Joshua Pellicer has written a book that can help you overcome your fears of approaching women and will give you the skills to pick up any woman you want! He has appeared on many radio talk shows, television interviews and now hosts his own radio talk show called “Game On” which provides dating tips for men.

Does it work? Well… just listen to a few of his free tips with girls and strange facts in the video at the bottom of this article and you’ll totally get what I’m talking about… The guy is a friggin genius and I wish I had known about these tips a long time ago. I would have been able

to take advantage of dozens of situations to easily nail it and get the girl.

The book is based on Joshua’s research in psychology, self help books and dating programs he has been through, and his experience.  Joshua himself proclaims to previously have been unsuccessful with women. He developed his own theory and system, based on a lot of research, which is now spreading like wild fire throughout the world and is being used by hundreds and thousands of men internationally. This book is literally a bestseller, and I must tell you, at first, I was very skeptical about this whole thing, but when the tips started flowing and I started realizing and understanding female behavior, it’s as if I became a lion hunting for prey. My self confidence has risen so much since I started using the techniques in his book. If you’re struggling with girls, you owe it to yourself. This book is a must-have for any 18+ single dude out-there, trust me on this one!

When you join this program, you’ll get a book and videos teaching you about how to alter your perception of women as well as what they are looking for in a man, to help you overcome your fear of approaching them. This is done in several ways:

First, Joshua breaks some myths about women’s expectations of men. He discusses common mistakes both men and women make in the dating world. Here are some examples:

It is a misconception that women are attracted to money. They are attracted to success, in whatever form that may be. Just because you do not have money does not mean the woman will not like you. Be confident.

It is not all about what magazines tell you about outer appearance. 97% of women say that bald heads can be sexy. 89% of women find that big, steroid muscles on men can be repulsive. It is not about your looks. It is about the vibe you give out. It is about attracting her.

He also teaches you how to exude confidence.

Pellicer teaches body language in both men and women. He teaches how to read a woman’s body language and send the messages you want with yours.

For example, here are some free tips I’m sharing with you, these tips will make a huge difference right away in your approach when you talk to a girl, and that’s just a small drop in the ocean of super cool and easy tips the dude has to share, so check these free tips out:

When approaching a woman, do not face your chest straight toward her too early. This can seem both intimidating and needy. Keep your chest slightly turned away at first.

When you are speaking with a woman, look at a her mouth. This is called a “sexual trigger” and makes the woman subconsciously think of sleeping with you. Do not do this the whole time, because she might think you are strange and creepy. But take glances at her lips occasionally.

In his book, Joshua also gives some unbelievable pick up lines as well as explaining how to hold a conversation that is sure to impress…

With these tips, rules, and guides (and many more within the book), Joshua states that he can turn most men into dating machines!

A fellow dating program author, Goran Nikilov, said “This  dating book for males is awesome but for those who do not know how to approach females it is a must, for the ones who have that fear of rejection in them – especially!”

The bottom line is that this guide will teach you how to attract a lot of women if you practice practice practice, but don’t expect it to work overnight.

The First Thing You Must Do in B3d

Generosity for the win: Focusing on what she craves in the sack also increases your arousal, says new
research in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science.

Researchers studied “s3xual communal strength”—the willingness to meet a partner’s s3xual needs—in long-term couples. Both parties filled out daily s3x surveys for 3 weeks. Four months later, generous lovers  reported higher levels of daily arousal AND more desire for their partner than the less-generous couples.

"There's a lot of research out there that suggests giving to others is good for the self," says lead study author Amy Muise, Ph.D., of the University of Toronto, and that effect is even stronger with a romantic partner. Plus, Muise says, knowing you can satisfy your partner's needs is a major confidence booster.

But zeroing in on her desires at the exclusion of your own won't deliver the same outcome, says Muise. The solution: Aim for compromise. If you usually perform oral s3x on her because she loves to incorporate it into foreplay, see if she's up for something you want, like shower s3x or a morning quickie before work. That way you'll both feel accounted for, Muise says

HOW TO ESCAPE THE FRIEND ZONE WITH A GIRLFRIEND

There is a myth that men and women can be friends, but sometimes being friends is exactly what you don’t want. It’s nice to have a few friends who are girls, but what should you do if your feelings suddenly change? What should a guy do when he wants his friend to be his girlfriend? It’s a tricky situation, but JDNEWS24.BLOG can help you escape the friend zone.

Know What You’re Getting Into is going to transform you from a platonic friend into a romantic partner. In a lot of ways trying to become more than friends is going to affect your friendship, so it’s important to be sure that this is exactly what you want. There’s always a risk that trying to turn a friendship into a romance will result in losing your friend. This is a total fail state as you wind up without a girlfriend and without your pal. That is why it’s so important to be sure you really want to turn this friend into a girlfriend. Now start seeing if she wants you to be her boyfriend…

You Can Start By Acting the Part and see how she reacts. Start calling her more often, even if it’s just to say hi. You’re going to want to be more of a presence in her life than you were before. Also, try to make plans to hang out more often. Ask her to do more favors for you, to see how willing she is to devote her time to you. If this all goes well, it means you’re moving in the right direction.

Eye Contact is a direct way of making a connection with a person. The more easily you meet and maintain eye contact with her, the more she will feel like you are communicating to her about something more intimate than just being friends.

Touching is a big part of decreasing the space between the two of you. This may be your best way to gauge how she is feeling about your advances. If she responds negatively to any increased intimacy you should probably take it as a clear message that she is not interested in you as a lover. That’s okay. But if she responds well–if she punches you back when you are horsing around, if she reaches back to you when you put your arm around her–you are probably ready to take the next step.

Telling Her How You Feel may seem like the obvious thing to do from the very beginning–and really it may be what your heart is telling you to do–but it’s a better idea for you wait on doing this. This step is last on this list because you should only proceed with telling her how you feel if you think she could be reciprocal, for example, if she responds well to all of the other things on this list. If you rush right into this step, you risk freaking her out and not only closing the door on any romantic possibilities, but making her feel betrayed in your friendship. This step is last because you should already have tested how receptive she is to the idea before you actually put it out there. Once you do all of the above first, and only then, should you open up to her about how you feel.

If you need more tips on how to turn a friend into a girlfriend, or if you are interested in other top dating tips for men, you should check out the #1 dating guide for men

Relationship Advice for Women – From a Woman

Take it from someone who’s been in quite a few disastrous relationshipsand very few good ones: relationship advice for women is usually horrible and you shouldn’t listen to it.

Advice columns and articles written by men, regarding relationship advice for women, are obviously a bit biased. The same articles and advisories written by women can be just as biased, however. Both sides tend to miss important pieces of relationship advice for women: if the relationship isn’t working and you’re unhappy, it’s time to leave.

This is the best relationship advice for girls and guys alike: do what makes you happy.

One of the biggest mistakes that I’ve seen women make in relationships, and I admit I’ve even done it myself, is staying in a relationship because you want your significant other to be happy and you don’t want to hurt them.

Staying in a relationship for the happiness of someone other than you is silly. I know it may sound like I’m telling you to be selfish, and I am. But in the long run, if you stay in a relationship because only one of you is happy, both of you will end up miserable in the future. It may be a few months or several years, but it will happen. Do you really want to wait that long to realize that a relationship isn’t working?

Here’s a no-brainer. If you are unhappy in a relationship and have tried remedying things but you’re still not satisfied, it’s time to go. Caring for someone and loving someone are two different things that often conflict. But if only one of you is giving out all the love, and the other is just caring enough to get by, it’s time to realize that not every relationship is worth saving.

Many women miss important advice like this. Relationship advice for women is often a bunch of things you can do to try and save a relationship, but that’s not always what needs to be done.

Doing what makes you happy is truly the best relationship advice for women (and men as well) but most people don’t realize when they aren’t truly happy.

If you are questioning the amount of love that either you or your significant other is putting into the relationship, or if you aren’t sure whether a relationship is making you happy or not, you should ask yourself some important questions. Coping, settling, and tolerating does not equal happiness.

Have you settled on someone who doesn’t deserve you? Do they appreciate everything that defines who you are? Do they love you for you, or for what they want you to be? Does the purest form of your personality come out when you’re around them? Does making them happy, make you happy? Do you feel smothered or controlled? Does it make you angry? Does your significant other make you angry a lot? How much of their behavior do you hate and just tolerate? Have you turned to alcohol or drugs in order to cope with the stress from your relationship? Have you had more days of feeling depressed since you’ve been with them?

Ask yourself these questions and come up with a few on your own, then tell yourself if you are happy or not. Be honest with yourself.

When all other relationship advice for women fails, it’s time to start answering some important questions. If you can find out just how happy, or just how miserable, your relationship makes you, you’ll know what to do. Follow your heart, your soul, or just your common sense. Any way you look at it, your happiness with someone defines how successful the relationship is, and that’s the best relationship advice for women, men, and creatures of all shapes, sizes and colors.

WHAT WOULD YOU CALL YOUR DREAM RELATIONSHIP?

People have their dream cars, dream house, dream jobs and so many other things they dream of but not many times have we heard of a dream relationship.
Today is another segment of our Elcrema Sunday Love special which holds every two Sundays; a segment dedicated strictly to discussions about relationships as it affects everyone.
Today’s topic is slightly different as we have to search within our soul to provide an answer to this question.
I would be handling this with Drama; we would both share our views on what our dream relationship is—we would be delighted to know yours too.
First let’s read what Drama sees as a dream relationship

Drama
Everyone has a dream relationship. You know, that relationship you wanna have; your ideal relationship. Here’s mine…For starters, If I’m gonna be in a relationship with you must be decent-looking. I’m not saying you have to be as pretty as one of those Victoria’s secret models, but you must be good-looking, reason being that I wanna be able to introduce you to people, and be proud while at it. Again, you must be smart. I don’t wanna be in a relationship with a woman who cannot add value to me mentally. You must be mentally strong, and willing to assist me with some of the challenges I may face.

I wanna be in a relationship with a woman who breathes decorum. She knows how to talk to her man, and people around her. I want a relationship where there’s full understanding between myself and the woman because in the absence of it, there’s confusion, endless quarrelling. I want a relationship where there’s unbroken communication, where I’m able to pass my emotions across to her without any restrictions. A relationship devoid of nagging, cheating, deception, and disrespect.
In other words, my dream relationship is a ‘perfect relationship’. And of course, I know we don’t always get what we want, but one can only dream. Lol

Shawn
I think we are in an era where many people have gotten their dream cars and houses but haven’t even got a taste of their dream relationship; in fact many have settled for a relationship where they can just endure because all hopes of having a dream relationship has been dashed away.
Back to the subject, my dream relationship isn’t delusional or living in the romance novels, the first thing that strikes me as a dream relationship is a relationship where understanding would thrive. Forget all the fanfare and public display of affection, if there is no understanding in that relationship then there is nothing to dream about such a relationship; in short, a lack of understanding would mean a catastrophic relationship.

Understanding to me is a relationship essential, through understanding you can build so many other things in the relationship and it wouldn’t just be a dream relationship to only you, others would even model their relationship after yours. Understanding is the secret of every successful relationship.
A dream relationship isn’t a relationship where I would just find a partner, it’s a relationship where I’d find love and in that love I’d find friendship, passion and a commitment to each other. All these traits would grow and blossom after understanding has been built in that relationship.
My dream relationship doesn’t have to appeal to the world; it’s my business and not the world’s business; as far as I find love and happiness in that relationship then that’s my dream relationship

5 SCIENTIFIC REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD KISS

A kiss is a touch or caress with the lips as a sign of love, sexual desire, or greeting. Kissing isn’t just a sign of love and affection; it also has some amazing benefits too.
If you haven’t kissed your partner today, here are 5 scientific reasons why you should kiss them now
1. IT LOWERS YOUR STRESS LEVELS:
Are you going through a lot of stress? If the answer is yes, then you should kiss your partner more. Kissing helps lower your stress levels and there is proof too. According to researchers from the Arizona State University, 52 people didn’t only feel close to their partners, they were significantly less stressed based on a psychological stress scale after spending 6 weeks making kissing a priority in their everyday lives.
2. IT PREVENTS CAVITIES:
If you love your teeth and you want to lower your chances of tooth decay, then you should kiss as kissing increases saliva flow, which helps prevent tooth decay. According to the Academy of General Dentistry, when you kiss, the saliva flow helps to increase the tooth enamel and also washes the bacteria off your teeth, which in turn helps break down oral plaque.
3. IT HELPS REDUCE BLOOD PRESSURE:
If you are experiencing high blood pressure, then you ought to kiss more. According to research, when you kiss, it dilates your blood vessels and therefore helps reduce blood pressure. Why don’t you reduce your blood pressure today by kissing?
4. IT HELPS STRENGTHENS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM:
If you want to strengthen your immune system, then you should kiss more. According to a study published in Physiology & Behavior, kissing helps improve your resistance to having an allergic reaction. Isn’t this a good reason to kiss?
5. IT HELPS BURN CALORIES
If you need to burn some calories, then you should consider kissing your partner more. According to research, you burn between 2 to 5 calories every minute you spend kissing. So if you kiss for 30 minutes, you could burn up to 150 calories.
So if you thought kissing is all about getting ready for sex, then you are so wrong. Kissing also has some health benefits too. Why don’t you reap these benefits by kissing today?

10 THINGS EVERY MATURE RELATIONSHIP PARTNER KNOWS

Maturity is a quality that’s often lacking in many relationship partners; men/women that are even advanced in age fall prey to immaturity most times without knowing and this leads to the demise of most relationships.
There are some basic things a mature relationship partner knows and adheres to and that’s why such a partner is always adored. With maturity the relationship would blossom and a lack of it would lead to frequent scenes of violence, abuse, hurts, quarrels and rapid misunderstanding. If you want to know what the mature relationship partner knows, get in here.
10 things every mature relationship partner knows  
1. RETALIATION WON’T SOLVE A THING
‘Oh, sweet revenge’ you might say, but that’s a major cause of relationship failures. If Miss A does something bad to her partner and he decides to retaliate, where do you think the relationship would go from then onwards? A mature relationship partner knows that retaliating on your partner would only lead to enmity and rivalry; maturity isn’t in retaliation, but maturity is in letting things lie sometimes.
2. ENVY KILLS
Many partners (females especially) are rocked by envy, greed and constant comparisons of another person’s relationship. Once you base your relationship on another person’s relationship and constantly compare your partner to that person then you have completely succeeded in ruining your relationship. A mature relationship partner knows that though some relationship might look all loving on the outside, it could be a different story within, so they don’t indulge in childish comparisons and envy.
3. HAVING A LISTENING EAR IS THE FIRST STEP TO UNDERSTANDING
You can never understand your partner if you don’t listen to your partner. You cannot build that much desired level of understanding in the relationship if you don’t listen; there is a difference between hearing your partner and listening to your partner.
4. WORDS COULD REALLY HURT
There are some things you can’t take back, and words are one of those things. You should always scrutinize what comes out of your mouth as they go a long way in determining the success and failure of that relationship. A mature partner avoids words that would hurt a partner because a broken/failed relationship starts with the feeling of hurt.
5. THERE IS NO COMPROMISE ABOUT BEING FAITHFUL
There is no excuse really for cheating on a partner; it shows betrayal of trust, betrayal of feelings and insincerity. The fun derived from being faithful cannot be compared to the negative seeds it would plant in that relationship. You can’t call yourself a mature partner if you always cheat on your partner —that’s betrayal of the highest level.
6. BERATING YOUR PARTNER KILLS THE RELATIONSHIP; NO COMPROMISE 
I wonder why a person would go into a relationship and decide to constantly abuse his/her partner with words; verbal abuse is almost as terrible as physical abuse, it affects the mind. You show maturity when you value your partner and you value your partner in actions and in words. There is no compromising this.
7. MAKE YOUR PARTNER HAPPY 
A mature partner knows that the best way to having a happy relationship is by making your partner happy. When your partner is happy, you would as well be happy, put a smile on your partner’s face and you would as well be happy. A mature partner knows this, while the immature partner keeps waiting for his/her partner to make them happy. It should start with you.
8. THE RELATIONSHIP SHOULDN’T ALWAYS BE ABOUT YOU     
The relationship should never be about you; when you make the relationship about you, it shows selfishness and self-centeredness. A mature relationship partner knows that for a relationship to work, he/she has to think of the partner just as much as he/she thinks of himself, or even more.
9. SOME ARGUMENTS AREN’T WORTH IT
The immature partner would always meddle in every argument in a relationship but a mature partner knows that not every argument is worth it. The mature partner spots when the relationship is taking a bad twist and understands that if continued, it could harm the relationship— so the mature partner ends such arguments and doesn’t give arguments the chance to end the relationship.
10. KEEPS THE PASSION BURNING
A successful relationship is a passionate relationship; once the passion in the relationship starts to die off, the relationship would as well start to die off gradually. A mature partner understands this and makes sure the passion is always rekindled in the relationship.

Yes, you might come up with the popular and typical lazy man’s excuse that ‘no human is perfect’; forgetting that to be the best in everything you ought to strive towards perfection. To be a mature relationship partner isn’t a day’s job, you work hard to becoming such a partner with each passing day, and you can actually be that mature relationship partner if you put your heart to it.

Arsenal won’t buy in January if everyone is fit – Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says that there would be no need for him to spend in January if his squad are fit.
After failing to sign a replacement for Barcelona-bound Thomas Vermaelen this summer, the Gunners have struggled to deal with Laurent Koscielny’s injury issues, prompting calls from fans for investment over the winter.
Calum Chambers and Nacho Monreal have both spent time filling in at centre-back but the pair will miss Saturday’s game against Newcastle, as well as the Frenchman, while fitness problems continue to plague the team as a whole.

“If everybody’s fit, we don’t need to go into the transfer market,” Wenger told reporters on Friday of his plans for the window, which opens on January 1

Leicester City 0-1 Man City: Frank Lampard strike gives Manchester City narrow win

Manchester City first-half strike has ensured that Manchester City have kept pace with Chelsea at the top of the Premier League with a narrow 1-0 win over Leicester City.
Despite picking up a crucial three points, the Citizens were dealt a double blow as Edin Dzeko picked up an injury in the warm-up before Vincent Kompany hobbled off late on with a hamstring injury.
Eliaquim Mangala had the first chance of the game but he couldn’t connect properly with Kompany’s header across the box from Samir Nasri’s deep free kick in the third minute.

In the absence of Leonardo Ulloa, Jamie Vardy led the Leicester line and his pace caused the Premier League champions problems.
In the 11th minute, he sped away from three markers and only a lunging challenge from Mangala turned the forward’s shot behind for a corner
Esteban Cambiasso then almost embarrassed Joe Hart with a free kick in the 22nd minute. The England goalkeeper was expecting a cross as the midfielder stepped up to strike the ball from 35 yards out, but instead the 34-year-old went for goal and Hart was relieved the see the shot graze the near post on its way out of play.

City almost put themselves ahead in the 31st minute after a flowing move involving clever flicks from Lampard and David Silva ended with Ben Hamer making a stretching save from Yaya Toure’s goalbound strike.

Hamer was helpless to prevent Lampard from putting City 1-0 ahead in the 39th minute though as the midfielder turned home Nasri’s low cross.
There were few chances in the second half as both sides cancelled each other out, although Leicester felt aggrieved that they were not awarded a penalty when Vardy went down under a challenge from Managala in the 58th minute.

Martin Demichelis replaced Kompany late on and the centre-back had to stand firm as Leicester piled on the pressure in the closing stages.

Ulloa arrived from the bench and his deflected strike on the turn fell behind for a corner while Cambiasso continued to launch dangerous balls into the box, but City held on to pick up their fifth successive league victory.

Manuel Pellegrini hopeful of Frank Lampard stay

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini is hopeful that the club can agree a deal to extend Frank Lampard’s loan spell from New York City FC.
The 36-year-old joined the Citizens on an initial six-month deal from the newly-formed MLS franchise, and the former England international has proved an astute signing with a series of impressive performances for the club.
Pellegrini has admitted that he would like to extend Lampard’s stay beyond the end of the month, but has conceded that a deal could be hard to complete, considering all the parties involved.

He told Sky Sports News: “Before December finishes we will have a decision but, as I repeat, I think Frank is a very important player for us and I hope we will not have any problems for him to stay here

Bayern Munich have joined the pursuit to sign Liverpool and Arsenal target Martin Odegaard

Liverpool and Arsenal’s chances of signing Norwegian wonderkid Martin Odegaard have taken a knock as Bayern Munich have expressed their desire to sign the youngster.
Odegaard, who has spent time with Liverpool and Arsenal in recent weeks as they try and secure his signature, was flown out to Munich to train with Pep Guardiola’s men.
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is keen to sign the 15-year-old.

Liverpool’s Mario Balotelli could return from injury against Manchester United

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has said that Mario Balotelli will be given every chance to prove his fitness before Sunday’s Premier League clash with fierce rivals Manchester United.
Balotelli has missed Liverpool’s last six matches with a hamstring injury.
Meanwhile, Rodgers expects midfielder Adam Lallana to feature at Old Trafford.

The England international has been playing through the pain barrier recently, having broken two of his ribs in the 3-1 win at Leicester City earlier this month.
Rodgers reported more good news when he claimed that defender Kolo Toure had a chance of being available to face United.
Toure was named as Liverpool’s Player of the Month for November

Manchester United 3-0 Liverpool: Rooney and Van Persie on target as hosts march on

Manchester United secured a sixth consecutive Premier League victory by beating bitter rivals Liverpool 3-0 at Old Trafford.
Wayne Rooney netted a ninth goal in his last eight appearances on home turf to give United a 12th-minute lead, 25 seconds after Raheem Sterling passed up a fine opportunity to put Liverpool ahead.
Louis van Gaal’s men doubled their advantage in controversial circumstances after 40 minutes as Juan Mata stooped to score from Robin van Persie’s flick – replays clearly showing the Spaniard to be offside.

Liverpool created the clearer openings over the course of the contest but poor finishing from Sterling and Mario Balotelli – plus another brilliant display from United goalkeeper David de Gea – served to frustrate them before Van Persie completed the scoring with a little over 20 minutes left.
The result piles more misery on Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers, who saw his team crash out of the UEFA Champions League in midweek, while for United, it acts as a measure of revenge for the 3-0 defeat suffered in last season’s corresponding fixture.
Brad Jones played a first Premier League game in almost two years Liverpool as under-fire number one Simon Mignolet dropped to the bench, where Balotelli was named having overcome a groin injury.
The intrigue in the United line-up came at the other end of the pitch as youngster James Wilson was selected to partner Van Persie up front, with Rooney playing a supporting role in an attacking line-up.
Marouane Fellaini collected a worryingly early booking for clattering through Adam Lallana but the England international recovered to thread a deft through ball for Sterling to draw a first save of the match from De Gea in the 12th minute.
United surged back at Liverpool immediately to open the scoring – Antonio Valencia nutmegging Joe Allen and picking out Rooney, who was afforded ample room to steer home side-footed from 16 yards.
De Gea held a deflected drive from Steven Gerrard as Liverpool looked to regain their footing and Sterling gave the Spain goalkeeper a more taxing save when he skipped past Phil Jones in the 23rd minute.
The visitors were then forced into a defensive change, Glen Johnson hobbling off to be replaced by Kolo Toure, and they fell 2-0 behind five minutes before the interval.
Ashley Young cut back to cross right-footed and Van Persie glanced on for Mata to nod home from an offside position, but the goal stood.
Balotelli came on for Lallana at the break and Jordan Henderson headed Sterling’s left-wing centre wastefully over as Liverpool sought a quick response.
Sterling then spurned his team’s clearest opportunity of the match, allowing De Gea to block after Jonny Evans’ wretched backpass sold his goalkeeper short.
Van Persie should have put the result beyond doubt after the hour when he side-footed wide from Valencia’s excellent low delivery, and De Gea’s finest moment arrived midway through the second period as he touched Balotelli’s snapshot onto the crossbar with a stunning reaction save.
And with 18 minutes remaining, Van Persie atoned for his earlier miss as Mata gave him a simple finish after Dejan Lovren woefully misjudged a clearance.
Balotelli was twice frustrated by De Gea from close range once more before Jones produced a save to compare with his opposite number’s collection in the 87th minute, as Van Persie smashed towards the roof of the net.
Challenging for a top-four place to return to European football’s top table next season looks an increasingly tall order for Liverpool, who lie ninth – 10 points behind United in third.

De Gea is Manchester United’s only consistent player – Schmeichel

“He’s doing really well,” the Danesaid
I think he’s the only player in the squad who performs consistently every time. Last season he was the only player who consistently brought any kind of quality to Manchester United.
“Last season was good for him because it washed away all that happened before. He won the championship in the year before but there was still this doubt about him and I think he washed that away with his performances.”

“That’s how you win championships. That’s how you qualify for the Champions League,” Schmeichel added. “Last season, as soon as they came under pressure and went behind, they would lose the game which is very unlike Manchester United.
“To get results and play the way they played against Southampton and win that game, it was hugely important.

Chelsea 2-0 Hull: Eden Hazard and Diego Costa goals ensure Blues stay top

Goals in either half from Eden Hazard and Diego Costa have handed Chelsea a 2-0 victory at home over ten-man Hull City this afternoon to maintain their three-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
Chelsea burst out of the traps and took the lead in the eighth minute as Hazard arrived late to nod home Oscar’s precise cross, although Hull were unhappy that play continued as Sone Aluko lay prone on the turf when the hosts went ahead.
No sooner had Hull fallen behind than they were forced into a defensive change, with Alex Bruce replacing the injured Michael Dawson.

The visitors saw very little of the ball, but did have a sight of goal midway through the first half. However, when the ball fell to Aluko on the edge of the box the forward blazed his strike over the bar.
After a dominant start, Chelsea began to grow frustrated with Hull’s resilience and Willian entered the book for a dive before Gary Cahill was similarly handed a yellow card for a nasty challenge on Aluko which left the striker writhing in pain.
Hull seemed to take confidence from the way they ended the second half and almost restored parity seven minutes into the second half, but Jake Livermore’s low shot flew narrowly wide of Petr Cech’s post.
Cahill, who was booked in the first half, then escaped a second yellow card after seeming to dive in the penalty area before Bruce was booked for a strong challenge, which only served to increase Hull’s frustration at the refereeing decisions.
Shortly afterwards Costa entered the book for simulation, but in the 61st minute Tom Huddlestone made his side’s task incredibly difficult after being shown a straight red card for a raking his studs down the leg of Felipe Luis.
The red card brought the home crowd to life and they were on their feet claiming a penalty two minutes after Huddlestone’s dismissal when the ball struck the hand of James Chester, but the referee allowed play to continue.
They were soon on their feet again though as Costa made it 2-0 with a clinical finish from Hazard’s through ball to give the hosts some breathing space.
Didier Drogba almost put the game to bed within seconds of his introduction and although the veteran striker failed to connect with Willian’s cross, the Blues held on as they returned to winning ways

But boss Van Gaal is refusing to get carried away with United’s form.
He said: “We have won six matches in a row, and that is fantastic but we have to improve our playing style still.
“We could have dominated the game for 90 minutes today but we didn’t do that.
“We gave unnecessary balls away in the second half. We have to improve but we are very pleased because we know what it is to win against Liverpool.

“I’ve seen quite a few [outstanding performances] with the goalkeepers I’ve played with in [Peter] Schmeichel and [Edwin] Van der Sar but today was probably the best one I’ve seen at Old Trafford from a United goalkeeper,” he told Sky Sports.
“He saves them. There’s six clear-cut chances that should have been goals. He stands up, David Seaman was the same. He makes it very difficult to score against him.”
The Spain international will be hoping his great form can continue in to the rest of the season as his team look more and more likely to finish in the top four and make it in to next year’s Champions League

Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane has revealed that he came close to moving to Manchester United before sealing a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu.
The France international joined Los Blancos from Lens in 2011, with the Liga outfit paying a reported €10 million for the centre-half.
However, Varane has admitted that he strongly considered a transfer to Old Trafford, but decided that linking up with Madrid was the better option for his development as a player.

“There was also an interesting project [on offer] but I made a choice for my career.
“I think I can go higher and mark my generation. I would be happy to tell myself I did the maximum and went as far as I could during my career.”
Former Madrid coach Jose Mourinho also confirmed that the Spanish side had to fight off competition from United for Varane’s services.
“I was on vacation,” the Chelsea boss explained. “La Liga was over. I was in Madrid and Zinedine Zidane shows up with a DVD.
“I looked at the player and I was very happy with what I saw.”
“Manchester United wanted him but Real Madrid was very strong in this deal.”
Varane has had his injury problems in Spain but, on September 18, he signed a new contract with Madrid that binds him to the European champions until 2020

Manchester City readying to beeat Manchester United and Arsenal for £47m Star

Manchester City have become the latest side to register their interest in Borussia Dortmund star Mats Hummels.
The World Cup winner has attracted interest from a number of Premier League clubs, with Arsenal and Manchester United said to be leading the way.
Manuel Pellegrini has identified Hummels as a potential replacement for captain Vincent Kompany, who hobbled off with a hamstring injury in the weekend’s victory over Leicester.

With youngster Matija Nastasic close to completing a move to Italian giants Inter Milan, the Premier League champions may have to enter the transfer market should Kompany be sidelined for at least a month.
Summer addition Eliaquim Mangala has struggled to adapt to English conditions since his arrival, and Hummels would provide some much needed stability in the City back line.
Manchester United and Arsenal are both keen to sign the 25-year-old, and any offer from City could spark a bidding war between the trio.
It looks as though Hummels is one of the most wanted transfer targets for the January transfer window, and it could prove to be one of the most interesting ever.

11 Black Designers Who Influenced Fashion and Culture … Then and Now

 
Tracy Reese
Before Michelle Obama started rocking her styles, Reese already was a star. The first lady just took her into the stratosphere. Her father provided some financing to help her launch her line in 1997, and it took flight. Her sophisticated, trend-setting dresses have also been worn by singers Beyoncé and Alicia Keys and actress Eva Longoria.

Stephen Burrows
Burrows launched his namesake line in 1963 and became one of the first Black designers to gain international respect. He owned the disco era and won the Coty Award for best women’s wear — the first Black designer to do so. Still going strong, his pieces are worn by media mogul Oprah Winfrey and supermodel Naomi Campbell, among others.

B. Michael
Michael’s keen combination of simplicity and glamour helped the launch of his couture line in 1999 to significant critical praise. This was a relief to the former Wall Street worker. Now, he’s a dominant force in the game, creating fashions for the likes of actress Halle Berry, tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams and singer Beyoncé, among other celebrities whose fashion sense is highly respected.

Russell Simmons
The rap mogul extended his brand into fashion in 1992 with Phat Farm, a line that was a symbol of the shift in urban fashion. Rappers went hard on Phat Farm; it was a sign of cool and success. Even more significant for the brand, Simmons executed a cross-culture plan that exponentially extended its reach and appeal.

Patrick Robinson
Robinson took a different approach from many designers. Instead of focusing on his line, he blossomed through his impressive work at other brands. He flourished at Giorgio Armani, Perry Ellis, Anne Klein and Paco Rabanne. Significantly, he was the driving force behind the Gap’s resurgence and restructured jeans line.

Kevan Hall
Actresses Angela Bassett and Salma Hayek are two of the celebrities who appreciate Hall’s refusal to go trendy and adore his sexy but tasteful evening gowns. He focuses on sophistication and elegance in his Kevan Hall Collection that launched in 2002.
 
Duro Olowu
Since 2004, Olowu has used vibrant color palettes and pattern on pattern pairings to attract some of the most identifiable people in the world. No less than Michelle Obama has worn items from his high-spirited collections. The first lady wearing your creations is the ultimate stamp of success and influence.
 
Dapper Dan
Working from Harlem, Dapper Dan was a force in hip-hop fashion just around the time it started to go mainstream in the early 1980s. At first he took the fabric from MCM, Louis Vuitton and others and repurposed them into custom pieces. That idea took him to the forefront of hip-hop culture, from creating for neighborhood people to rap icons Eric B. and Rakim, Funkmaster Flex, Salt-N-Pepa and boxer Mike Tyson.


Arthur McGee
McGee flourished through the intense years of segregation, graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology in the 1950s and pressing forward despite vast racial discrimination. He was the first Black to have his line in high-end stores like Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale’s. He was known for bringing an “African and Asian aesthetic to his relaxed silhouettes.” Better than that was his commitment to serving as a mentor to young designers, which earned him the nickname “The Dean of African-American designers.

Ozwald Boateng
This Londoner by way of Ghana has crafted sleek, stylish suits for actors Will Smith and Jamie Foxx, among others. He was charged to create the deft gear for films Ocean’s Thirteen and The Matrix, which says everything about his skill set and reach. His store on the legendary Savile Row in London was the first opened by an African.
 
The Late Willi Smith
WilliWear, the comfortable, reasonably priced line for both genders, was what he called a “Street Culture” phenomenon. Smith died of AIDS in 1987, but he crafted a legacy of being among the first to mix and match stripes, plaids and colors. His work for females won the 1983 Coty American Fashion Critics’ Award for Women’s Fashion. Smith outfitted the cast of director Spike Lee’s School Daze
