Is this Arsenal FC time wining big in world football amid supporters big dreams?

Arsenal supporters across the globe are experiencing a wave of excitement this season, with the club producing performances that many believe are the best seen in years.

After seasons filled with frustrations, inconsistencies and painful near misses, the Gunners have finally found a rhythm that is capturing the attention of the football world.

Much of the current joy among Arsenal fans stems from the team’s consistency.

Unlike past campaigns where the club would win a few matches and then suddenly lose form, this season’s Arsenal has shown relentless control and determination.

Their ability to dominate matches and secure results even under pressure has become a major talking point.

A defining feature of this Arsenal team is its solid defense. For many seasons, the Gunners were criticized for defensive errors and lack of coordination but this time, the backline led strongly by William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães operates with confidence, discipline and unity, providing a strong foundation for the team.

The midfield has also been a powerhouse, combining creativity, physicality and tactical intelligence. Arsenal’s midfielders now control the tempo effectively, create chances and contribute defensively.

This balance has made the team more unpredictable and dangerous.

Upfront, Arsenal’s attack has been firing on all cylinders. Their forwards have shown improved finishing, movement and confidence, allowing the team to break down both high pressing opponents and defensive teams that sit deep.

The fluidity in attack is one of the strongest seen under Mikel Arteta.

Speaking of Arteta, his influence cannot be overstated. The manager has successfully instilled a winning mentality, improved tactical discipline and placed players in their ideal roles. His long-term project, once doubted by many, is now showing maturity and bearing fruit.

Arteta has also managed the squad effectively, ensuring players remain fresh, competitive and motivated.

His decision to rotate the team smartly has helped avoid burnout and injuries, two issues that previously haunted Arsenal in title races.

Another major factor contributing to Arsenal’s success is the improved relationship between players and the coaching staff.

Reports highlight a united dressing room, strong communication and shared belief in the club’s ambitions. This harmony is reflected in their performances on the pitch.

Football experts worldwide have taken notice. Analysts from Europe, Africa and beyond have praised Arsenal’s tactical evolution and mental toughness.

Many now view the Gunners as genuine title contenders, capable of challenging for the Premier League trophy.

However, the road ahead remains difficult. The Premier League is unpredictable and one or two bad results can shift the momentum.

Rivals like Manchester City and Liverpool remain strong, while clubs such as Tottenham, Manchester United Chelsea and Aston Villa are capable of causing upsets.

Arsenal’s ability to handle pressure in high stakes matches will be vital.

In previous seasons, the team sometimes collapsed in crucial games but this season, their composure and maturity have improved, giving fans hope that they can maintain their momentum.

Squad fitness will also play a key role. Injuries have previously derailed Arsenal’s title hopes, so keeping key players healthy will be essential as the season progresses.

The depth of the squad will be tested during the demanding fixtures ahead.

The supporters have also been instrumental in boosting team morale.

The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium has been electric and traveling fans have shown unwavering support.

This connection between the team and supporters is stronger than it’s been in years.

Malawi leaders date development partners to strengthen collaboration

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Vice PresidentJane Ansah welcomed government officials, development partners, and distinguished guests to a special networking dinner held ahead of the 2025 Cabinet Retreat.

She began by expressing sincere gratitude to President Arthur Peter Mutharika for entrusting her with the responsibility to preside over the gathering, highlighting the significance of the evening as a platform for dialogue and partnership.

The Vice President noted that the dinner was designed to foster connections among leaders and stakeholders, providing an opportunity to exchange ideas, share experiences, and strengthen collaborative efforts aimed at advancing Malawi’s national development agenda.

She extended warm appreciation to Ahunna Eziakonwa, United Nations Assistant Secretary-General and UNDP Assistant Administrator, who also serves as Director of the Regional Bureau for Africa, for her insightful address that emphasised the critical role of partnerships in achieving sustainable development.

Frost happy with new leadership

Acknowledging the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for its continuous support, the Vice President remarked that the evening represented more than a ceremonial gathering, serving instead as a forum to prepare for the discussions and strategic planning that would take place during the Cabinet Retreat.

Attendees were encouraged to reflect on the challenges facing Malawi, as well as the opportunities that can drive the nation’s economic growth and social transformation.

She emphasised that the path ahead requires coordinated efforts and collective responsibility from all stakeholders, including those who could not be present, reiterating that meaningful progress cannot be achieved through government action alone.

Robust and strategic partnerships, she said, are essential for ensuring accountability, resilience, and long-term development, highlighting the invaluable contribution of development partners in supporting Malawi’s journey toward national transformation.

The Vice President expressed heartfelt gratitude on behalf of the President and herself to all those who contributed to making the dinner a success, recognising both government organisers and UNDP officials for their meticulous planning and dedication.

Speaking at the event, Fenella Frost, UNDP Resident Representative in Malawi, described it as a privilege to attend the gathering, highlighting it as an opportunity to celebrate Malawi and the remarkable spirit of its people.

She expressed deep appreciation on behalf of UNDP to the Government of Malawi, the Vice President, and all partners for their continued collaboration and commitment to advancing national development.

Three-Nations Tournament: Mighty Warriors stun Scorchers

.….Zimbabwe 2-1 Malawi

By Edwin Mbewe

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The Malawi National Women’s Football team, the Scorchers, suffered a disappointing defeat to Zimbabwe’s Mighty Warriors in their opening game of the Three-Nations tournament at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe on Friday, November 28, 2025.

Playing in front of their home fans, Malawi struggled to find the finishing touch upfront, and Zimbabwe capitalized on this weakness.

The Warriors broke the deadlock just three minutes into the match through Ethel Chinyerere.

In the 7th minute, Faith Chimzimu danced through the defenders before connecting with Rose Kabzere, but Zimbabwean defenders cleared the danger.

Ncube Nobukhosi rifled a free-kick over the crossbar in the 17th minute. Scorchers goalkeeper Mwase produced a stunning save from Christabel Katona’s left-footed effort. In the 23rd minute, Mwase made another crucial save from a glancing header, denying the Warriors a corner.

The Scorchers kept pushing for an equalizer. In the 25th minute, they broke down the right through Rose Kabzere, whose cross into the box found no teammate as Zimbabwe survived the scare.

Leticia Chinyamula tried her luck from distance but sent it over the bar in the 33rd minute. Kabzere delivered a good cross with her left foot in the 34th minute, but the goalkeeper collected comfortably.

As the first half wore on, Ethel Chinyerere extended the Warriors’ lead in the 39th minute. Faith Chimzimu reduced the deficit three minutes later, making it 2-1 at halftime.

Head coach Lovemore Fazili made four changes at the break. Captain Tabitha Chawinga, Mercy Sikelo, Sabina Thom, and Vanessa Chikupira replaced Thokozani Mwase, Mourine Kenneth, Chisomo Banda, and Tendai Sani.

The changes ignited Malawi’s performance. In the 47th minute, Faith Chimzimu played a defense-splitting pass to Sabina Thom, who shot wide from distance. Six minutes later, Thom’s long ball targeted Captain Chawinga, but the defenders cleared before she could reach it.

The Scorchers dominated much of the second half, constantly knocking on Zimbabwe’s door. In the 61st minute, Zimbabwe introduced Fiona Kabera for Privilege Mupeti, while Sabina Thom received a yellow card for a foul.

Rose Alufandika released Vanessa Chikupira on the left in the 67th minute. The attacker beat her defender before delivering a dangerous cross, which the opposition cleared.

Mercy Sikelo made a critical save in the 72nd minute, denying Zimbabwe from a free-kick. Malawi made their final change in the 78th minute when Fanny Moyo replaced Rose Kabzere. Zimbabwe withdrew two-goal scorer Ethel Chinyerere for Praynance Zawanda in the 82nd minute.

Tabitha Chawinga beat her marker before whipping a dangerous ball into the box, but Zimbabwe’s defense conceded only a fruitless corner. Vanessa Chikupira received a yellow card for a foul in the 84th minute.

Leticia Chinyamula came agonizingly close to equalizing in the 89th minute, her long-range effort missing the post by inches.

Captain Chawinga had the last chance in stoppage time, finding herself one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but her effort was saved, confirming Zimbabwe’s victory on Malawian soil.

Malawi face the Copper Queens of Zambia on Sunday, while Zimbabwe take on Zambia on Tuesday. Both Malawi and Zambia are using the tournament to prepare for the 2026 WAFCON finals in Morocco.

Norman Chisale’s loyalty on full display: Bodyguard keeps word to Mutharika

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-In a striking display of loyalty, Norman Chisale, former head of President Arthur Peter Mutharika’s security detail, was spotted bodyguarding the president at the Malawi Armed Forces College in Salima, despite being replaced by Brigadier Thomas Kwitanda. This comes after Chisale’s bold declaration to protect Mutharika “till death”.

At the commissioning ceremony for 122 Malawi Defence Force officers, Chisale was seen directing security, a role typically reserved for assigned personnel.

This has sparked debate about protocol and potential conflicts of interest, given Chisale’s new role as a Member of Parliament.

Mutharika, who appointed Kwitanda as his new bodyguard, hasn’t publicly addressed Chisale’s actions.

The incident highlights the complexities of loyalty, power, and accountability in Malawi’s political landscape.

Chisale’s presence underscores the strong bond between him and Mutharika, with some critics arguing it blurs lines between personal loyalty and official duty.

As investigations into Chisale’s activities continue, his commitment to Mutharika’s safety remains unshaken.

Jani Grey Kasunda announces 2030 presidential bid

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Malawian scholar and political aspirant Jani Grey Kasunda has declared his intention to contest in the 2030 presidential election, pledging to spearhead what he calls a ‘People’s Revolution’ aimed at restoring dignity, economic empowerment, and genuine political participation to the nation’s citizens.

In an interview with Maravi Post, Kasunda described himself as a revolutionary, a nationalist, and a patriot, deeply influenced by indigenous knowledge and the values passed down by Malawi’s ancestors.

He said he is driven by what he termed the ‘systemic betrayal’ of ordinary Malawians.

Kasunda highlighted widespread poverty, high youth unemployment, and the continued struggles of farmers as some of the country’s most pressing challenges.

He expressed belief that these issues have persisted because politicians neglect the people once they assume power.

Said Kasunda:“Over 70 percent of our people live in abject poverty. Our youth are jobless, and farmers remain stranded despite Malawi being an agro-based economy.I have watched politicians use, abuse, and dump Malawians for years. I can’t stand this anymore. I m fighting for the dignity of our people.”

He said his experiences as a journalist, teacher, and public servant at the Parliament of Malawi have shaped his understanding of the country’s structural challenges.

Kasunda said his goal is to place citizens at the centre of governance and ensure that political power truly belongs to the people.

He said he envisions a Malawi free of corruption, hunger, ethnic discrimination, and man-made poverty.

Kasunda said his leadership would work to eliminate social inequalities and guarantee that every Malawian has equal opportunities to contribute to national development.

“I want to change the story of our people. Power belongs to them.My aspiration is to create a Malawi that prioritizes the welfare and dignity of its citizens,” he said.

Kasunda accused past and current leaders of failing to resolve the country’s challenges because they benefit from a disempowered population.

He said his administration would be logical, tactical, and intentional in addressing long-standing issues, focusing on root causes rather than symptoms.

The presidential aspirant said his strategy includes a disciplined and problem-focused approach to economic development.

He emphasized a strict zero-tolerance stance on corruption, with uncompromised lifestyle audits and severe consequences for public officials found abusing office.

Kasunda also outlined plans to overhaul the education system to equip young people for current and future demands.

Additionally, he expressed interest to promote national unity through celebrations of Malawi’s cultural and historical heritage, which he believes will help unlock potential in arts, sports, and innovation.

Kasunda express belief that he has the unique blend of grassroots understanding, professional experience, and genuine love for the country that distinguishes him from other candidates.

“I am the only leader who knows who and what it means to be Malawian.I have a clean record, a strong mind to make tough decisions, and a heart dedicated to our people’s well-being,” he said.

He promised to end what he described as a long-standing ‘cycle of betrayal’ and asserts that corruption will have no place in his government.

Kasunda urged Malawians to recognize their power in determining the future of their nation.

“The power to change Malawi does not lie with the person eating our taxes at Kamuzu Palace; it lies with the people,” he said.

He encouraged citizens tired of political manipulation to join his People’s Revolution.

He described the 2030 elections as a defining moment in which Malawians must choose between genuine freedom and continued oppression under recycled leadership.

Kasunda emphasized the importance of indigenous knowledge in national development.

Using the proverb ‘khoswe sitimuika mu mbiya ya mtedza’ he argued that Malawi has for years entrusted national resources to leaders with a history of mismanaging public funds.

“For how long shall we entrust our taxes, mining contracts, and our children’s future to the same old politicians.The People’s Revolution is here to guard our national coffers with integrity,” he said.

Kasunda concluded by thanking Malawians for the opportunity to share his vision and expressed hope for further engagements as the country moves toward the 2030 election.
