Joint leaders of the Spanish LaLiga Santander, Barcelona and Real Madrid will aim to continue their 100 per cent records on tricky trips to face Basque sides Real Sociedad and Athletic Club, as returns this weekend.

All four Champions League teams in Spain are playing on Saturday ahead of the return of UEFA competition next week. Atletico Madrid is hosting Eibar and Valencia will welcoming Europa League-bound Real Betis to the Mestalla Stadium.
The weekend’s schedule begins Friday evening when Huesca host fellow LaLiga Santander new boys Rayo Vallecano in the first-ever LaLiga top-flight game at El Alcoraz, with the Aragonese club’s fans keen to see their impressive start continue.

Lionel Messi’s four LaLiga strikes so far this season have helped his Barcelona sit top of the LaLiga table based on goal difference. But the Barca will face a difficult task at La Real’s Anoeta stadium, where the Catalan side won 4-2 last year having drawn one and losing three of their previous four visits.
Meanwhile, Karim Benzema has been in top form for Real Madrid with four goals in the opening three games of the league. His form will be tested by an unbeaten Athletic side under their new coach Eduardo Berizzo. Athletico Bilbao has help Madrid to draws in their last two LaLiga meetings at San Mames.

Down in the capital, Diego Simeone’s Atletico side will be hoping to bounce back from a defeat two weekends ago at Celta and move up the table. Eibar, however, visits the Wanda Metropolitano confident of springing a surprise having drawn there 2-2 as recently as last May.
Marcelino’s Valencia has also had an unexpectedly difficult start to the 2018/19 season and will be looking for a boost against a Betis outfit travelling to Mestalla buoyant from their derby win against Sevilla before the international break.

Sunday lunchtime brings the action in suburban Madrid, where Leganes host Villarreal with both teams looking for their first LaLiga win of the season. Espanyol will take on Levante in the afternoon. Both sides have only registered a win, a draw and a defeat so far.
Sunday’s early evening games have Valladolid aiming for their first goals and first victory of the campaign against Alaves. Getafe visits Sevilla in the late match, with both teams looking to improve on uneven starts to the season.

The weekend’s entertainment concludes on Monday evening, when third-placed Celta, still unbeaten under new coach Antonio Mohamed, travel to face a Girona side who have quickly picked up the methods of their incoming manager Eusebio Sacristan.

ART– AN EYE INTO ANOTHER WORLD

By
For some reason, I have always been a fan of the arts. The ability to create something from nothing, the ability to bring to life what was once but only a figment of one’s imagination to me, is to dare to rival the gods, if you believe in them. I consider the artist to be a gift to man to constantly remind him that he is possible of anything! This piece is more of a show than tell as I am certain that it would not be proper to write an article on art and tell more words than I show works. I have therefore had to steal from a friend, a classmate and most of all, a talented artist as I, myself, am not so gifted as to put up my works for display but still, I shall humour you eventually with my rendition of a popular cartoon that you may recognise if you grew up watching ‘Looney Tones’. Nevertheless, gift is not a necessity to appreciate beauty and the plethora of magna opera (The many great works).

THE FIRE ON 23 ROAD – FESTAC, LAGOS

By
A fire outbreak occured on 23 Road in Festac on Saturday the 14th, February, 2015 which is the popular Valentine's day. Jouleconcept's correspondent, Mr Juwah Awele covered the story and gave a report in form of an article about the occurrence. This can be read below: “There is fire in house 2! There were children locked inside the house…” those were the words of my elderly neighbour, Mrs A, returning from the scene of some ongoing tragedy. Immediately, my mother went for all our official documents she always keeps in a ready to go bag while, my father, brother and I set off in the direction of the blaze. On getting to the front of the close, T Close, we observed the residents of the first few houses on the left hastily withdrawing their belongings from their homes; stuffing generators, plasma TVs, gas cylinders and the works into the back seat of their cars. Some had already driven their cars away! Immediately, we realised the fire was coming from the next cl...
