What are 5 habits you wish you could eliminate?

1. Laziness : I am a quite lazy and demotivated. I dunno how that is a bad habit but I guess for me it does seem to be so. Laziness means me not really getting what I want. And not wanting to do things that I should be doing.

2. Short temper : Sometimes I wish I could control my temper. At times it feels like I am like one more irritation away from bursting out obscenities and a stream of abusive words.

3. Get depressed : I can sink into a deep depression and think about my life, my past, my current situation and my future and then get even more depressed. Life has passed me by.

4. Tendency to overeat : especially sweet stuff like chocolates, candy & cream covered cookies. This is an effect of getting depressed. I love chocolates and on a weekend I can gorge myself on a large chocolate bar or two while watching a movie.

5. I am also bad at throwing away stuff : Like bills, paper slips, receipts, brown covers and boxes that I do not need anymore. They just seem to accumulate in my room and add to the garbage. That and dust contributes to not keeping my room as neat as it should be. And that is not good for my asthma but I still don’t do much about it until it is too messy.

Romelu Lukaku scored his first ever Chelsea goal – almost a decade after his debut – as Thomas Tuchel’s team deservedly beat Arsenal. Lukaku, who was at Chelsea as a teenager, started at the Emirates after his £97.5m signing from Inter Milan and looks to have given the Blues an ominous new dimension. His hold-up and link-up play caused Arsenal problems all day – and the Belgian duly gave them the lead. Lukaku was involved in the build-up and then finished the move from close range into an empty net from Reece James’ pass.

James got the second himself as he slammed the ball into the roof of the net from Mason Mount’s pass to make it two wins from two in the league. Lukaku almost made it 3-0 but his header was tipped onto the bar by Bernd Leno. Arsenal, missing centre-back Ben White through Covid, have now lost more London derbies in the Premier League this season than last – after just two games. It is only the third time Arsenal have lost their opening two Premier League matches in a season.

Arsenal had never opened a league campaign with two defeats and no goals in their previous 117 seasons of existence – until now. The Gunners, who lost 2-0 to Brentford in the season opener, started the game well in front of their biggest home crowd in almost 18 months. Bukayo Saka laid the ball off for Emile Smith Rowe, whose 25-yard shot was saved early on. The fans were on their feet cheering a good Nicolas Pepe run, but it eventually led to nothing – and they looked beaten from the moment Lukaku scored. Their left side was exposed by James for both goals.
