The game between Manchester United and Totthenham is actually heating up as they are in the second half of the game,as Totthenham leads by a goal to nothing.It is increasingly becoming likely that Manchester United might loose that game with the way Totthenham are pressuring them.I don't really know the formation that Harry Ten Hag used that is making his boys feel so scared to play Spurs.The game is live as Man u continue to suffer in the hands of Spurs through possession and  and goal threat.The best thing I see Hen Tag does in this game is to make some possible changes that will make them score,and try to defend it so the game will end draw,because if time is not taken, Totthenham will score another goal,and that will be the end for Man u.

The  game actually shocked me how Manchester united flopped against Tottenham but actually Manchester united was at disadvantage since they lack attack and all there attempts to get osimen was all void, and just has you predicted the game ended 2:0 and am sure no one would have expected Manchester united to loose against Tottenham, the goal threat were much and it was now looking has if Manchester United are confused, I hope this performance won't continue with Manchester united so that they won't be worst than Chelsea last season, Manchester united need to improve i was not impressed at all. And manchester city vs Newcastle still ongoing.

Brighton managed to beat Wolves 4-1 away in the second week of the league.Brighton made a good start to the league with 2 wins in two weeks.If we look at the statistics of the match, we can see that both teams had the same level of scoring chances, but it was the away team Brighton who took advantage of the positions with a clear difference.The first half ended 0-1 and Brighton scored 3 more goals in 10 minutes at the beginning of the second half and increased the difference to 4 in 55 minutes and secured the match.
Brentford, on the other hand, after drawing with Totthenham in the first week, managed to increase their points to 4 by winning against Fulham today.Fulham, on the other hand, defeated Everton away in the first week, but we can say that it has actually become more difficult to turn the match for Fulham, who saw a red card and became 10 men.

I was shocked by the performance of Brighton and the way they were lunching attacks on Wolverhampton I was just too surprised, I think now we can separate the goats from the sheep we are already getting to know clubs that will do well this season just imagining the season is just starting and some clubs are fucking up already, its good to have a scoring chance but let it not be chances goals that is what is needed, the margin is clear and Brighton took advantage of the game, and just look at the margin of time that goals were scored when they started the second half, am actually impressed with the performance of Brighton.

Liverpool Vs Bournemouth

The first 45 minutes have seen Liverpool dominate in everything in this game and the scoreline ended in their favour 2:1. Despite the quick goal that was scored by Antoine Semenyo in the 3rd minute of the game Liverpool was able to get a reply and managed to get the second goal that was score my Mohamed Salah to give them an edge over the visitors. It's going to be all three points for the home team I think because they have been the better team so far this first 45 minute.


Liverpool took control during the first half and Salah is always the man that puts a smile on the faces of Liverpool fans after two goals on record already, and Liverpool has to be smart if not watching how Bournemouth is playing is dangerous and the strength of Liverpool is Mohammed Salah very amazing player and the second half just started and Liverpool already putting pressure on Bournemouth already and very sure they will still add another goal making it 3:1 the pressure is getting intense. and they are already one man down. it is getting tougher than expected.

Agree with you, it is very risky to do business now when most countries are experiencing inflation. I'll also be securing the money in assets for now, and maybe doing a little experimenting on real estate if the opportunity and location are strategic. I think besides being safe, nowadays the opportunity to earn less is guaranteed from building a business from scratch.

In the future, if conditions are stable and financially supportive, there's nothing wrong with trying to build a business because it's a challenge worth trying.

Not only business life entire is a risk and sometimes the risk is worth taking because one has to learn to take risks, to be successful, and only a few businesses are surviving this period this inflation is hitting the economy hard, and capital is another thing to consider money don't even have value anymore, so you still need enough money to start any kind of business, starting business now is just another risky thing to go into but has humans we must take risk.

There is a lot of suspense surrounding the forthcoming game between Manchester City and Newcastle United. Despite the difficulties presented by injuries in their previous game, Manchester City chance to win after their recent success against Sevilla is obvious. Strong defensive play and the desire for a top four finish by Newcastle add an element of intrigue. Manchester city might edge Newcastle 1-0 thanks to their superior tactical skills but Newcastle tenacious manager and talented squad could present a formidable challenge. In a thrilling Premier league confrontation the contest promises to highlight the skills and tactics of both team.

It going to be difficult to predict looking at the manpower of both clubs, I think Newcastle has been seriously preparing for this game and manchester city has played finals and to some extent will affect them in a way compared to Newcastle who has played only very few matches, and looking at their last game against Sevilla and despite the injury, their aim was to equalize since the game was not in their favor, so that when the penalty shootout starts they might get luck, and aside there good attacks manchester city also has a very strong defense mechanism, and talking of the 1:0 it can come from both clubs and might end draw. and of the sincere truth manchester city is supposed to be worried about Newcastle they are one of a kind, a type of not allowing you to score kind of club.

If you don't have any experience on business field the. Start from scratch so you would provably know what are important things that needed to take care with in a business.

But if you are well established businessman and can able to plant some on existing business then its good since you don't need to worry on how to market it because they already have establish their own brand. Its up to you on how can you maximize your bought  businesses so that it can generate you more money.

The experience is to be considered and in the absence of experience, I think a reach will help also get ideas from does doing the same business or similar, going into a business undergoing process help and reduces risk. I personally encourage mentorship aside from building you in business it builds your personality, I personally go with what you are saying about already established businesses having a lot of advantages since already laid knowledge is easier to go along with the market, compared to building a new idea, which ever making a smart decision will be best.

Manchester City's performance against Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup final seems to be a poor performance compared to last season. Many may say that Sevilla's performance has improved compared to before but I would say Sevilla's performance was not good but Manchester City's poor performance is why Sevilla did so well in the UEFA Super Cup final against Manchester City.

No one expected Sevilla to display such a performance, it was looking as if they got superpowers from somewhere, the pressure was much on manchester city on that day of the final, how hilarious how Haaland was running if he can actually score a goal, but all means were blocked, am in my rating Sevilla have seriously improved, but towards the ending, the table turned and manchester city also started retaliating in attacks, and since they later equalized and the penalty shoot-out will be an advantage to manchester city since all there players can score and are good finishers that one of the major advantage.


I wasn’t impressed by Manchester City's performance, they performed poorly against Sevilla. Manchester City was just lucky to beat Sevilla in the match, Sevilla had lots of opportunities. I don’t really know why Manchester City didn’t perform well in the match, maybe it’s because of De Bruyne's injury. I think Pep Guardiola has to look for a replacement for De Bruyne because he will be going for surgery and he won’t be coming back soon. Let’s see how Manchester City will perform against Newcastle in their next match. I know it won’t really be easy for Manchester City.


Despite playing poorly, they still managed to win the game, and Manchester City was wise enough to tie it up and force a penalty shootout, which ultimately went in City's favor and led to their victory after all of Sevilla's pressure. They still have a great distance to travel., so Pepe is right to be concerned. What irritated me was the missed opportunity that Sevilla threw up, which made it their fault for losing the game because, if you count the number of opportunities they had, they would have won with ease. De Brunyne's absence also cost them that game. and will still cost them in other games
1188  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigeria Announced to increase fuel to 720 on: August 18, 2023, 11:03:20 AM
Omo nawa ooo, this country e get as e be ooo, people nava recover from the first fuel price way be 520 naira and they increase it to 620 e nava do them just this morning it was announced that fuel should be sell on the rate 720 naira per litter, things are really going to be though in this country, maybe the only way for us to survive is to diversify our means of transportation by going for electric car or motorcycle just like a topic created on this thread on how electric car will help to remedy lack of movement caused by increase of fuel, this is actually the time for it.

The cost of living in this country is something else ooh Very soon the price will rise to 1000 per litter, and the annoying part of it is that the increase has greatly affected food stuffs, things we normally buy on a certain amount is no longer sell on that way. Even gas price has also increase, the question now is that how much more can Nigerians take?

I think the government is already doing something about the price they are looking for a way to regulate the price, people are getting tired of the whole situation once the fuel price is affected then any other thing is affected especially transportation and commodities in the market, and I think this is the time for the government to start engineering strategies to improve how the mode of transportation talk, buy a liter for 720 is just huge and people are really going through a lot bro if want to know that people are going through a lot, step out in the city and check the street you will know what am talking about, sometimes it pains me that our politicians are cruel and have taken advantage of the people, and the living can not even afford its own standards anymore due to situations.

I would say it depends entirely on one's will and goals. If I win a life-changing amount of money, I stop playing big. Because now I have money in my hands and I want to invest it in other ways. I don't want to take any more risks with the money I have earned. I'll go for areas that will bring me a daily income and I won't worry about making money for the rest of my life. For this reason, I would not stop gambling, but I think I will play even if it is for pleasure. Thanks to the high amount I won, I can say that taking such a risk again will cause very big problems, so I don't think I will choose to take such a bet again.

I don't believe that moving in that direction will benefit you. The issue is that once you win big, the temptation to bet big gradually creeps in because we have the perception that anything that involves money requires us to invest energy. I am aware of people who have placed bets and already made calculations in their heads, forgetting that a potential win does not guarantee that you will win, I'm sure of that. Bet is interesting if it is properly managed, managing it is difficult because sometimes looking at does odds is quite tempting, if greed can be controlled then half of the problem is solved. And getting others means to earn is the best and playing for pleasure is OK cause thats what I do.

Right from last season Newcastle have been thus team that has been transforming and looking like a threat to big teams in premier league.  Looking at Newcastle they will really do well this season and will be a nightmare to team like Manchester city. Manchester City and Newcastle meeting will an interesting game that Manchester City won't find it easy. In all the games that Manchester City have played this it was only the game they played against Burnley that was easy for them, Manchester City against arsenal was a tough game because arsenal have quality squad,  this is the same way Newcastle will be tough against City.

Newcastle is known for their amazing performance since they get all the encouragement from their owner and am very sure they also don't want to disappoint him, and last season they were not just an ordinary threat but a serious one, the problem is not debatable they will definitely do well, and the way clubs are to play this season it not going to be an easy season for manchester city and that is what I wanted, other clubs need to start cooking something and disarm manchester city and now that de Brune is not available it is a loophole for the city, and Burnley did well but no goals, cities still have great competitors ahead.


Also, a certain problem for Manchester City is the fact that the team has just played a UEFA Super Cup match, unlike Newcastle United, which, after the match with Aston Villa, has been systematically preparing for the match with City all week. At least, Pep Guardiola criticized the English Premier League that the match was set for Saturday, not Sunday or Monday, and sarcastically expressed many thanks. Although, of course, Guardiola, together with his staff and with his experience, should neutralize the negative consequences of this, but the fact remains. Newcastle has a definite advantage because of this.

And Even the supa cup was a great challenge for manchester city a lot of energy was used because even Sevilla was not joking with manchester city at all on the pitch, and the absence of de Brune again will also affect them how hilarious that Newcastle has been seriously preparing against manchester city is going to be an interesting game and my prediction is either Newcastle win or the game ends in a draw, I fully go with what you said about Newcastle having the advantage. even without the 1 week preparation newcastle is hard nut to crack.

Nowadays it is not the same as before, because what men can do today most women can do. And the other thing is that they even surpass the men in truth. Especially when it comes to business or entrepreneur.

And even based on statistics, it appears that women are better at managing than men, though it's still mostly men who manage their businesses.

The world is changing  and women are even doing better than men, I think it still depends on the sector, there some sectors that women won't be that productive, women do well in the business and entrepreneurship sectors they come up with brilliant ideas that can grow businesses like fashionand the rest, there women that own business that do very well in management, I feel women needs to be encourage, women need to come out of the shell one of the factors affecting us in this region is that only few women are given the opportunity to actually display there talent in anything of there choice. And emotions is also there every business has its own challenges so how many can with stand without breaking down.
1192  Economy / Economics / Re: All millions are from real estate. on: August 17, 2023, 11:18:08 AM
Indeed, investment in real estate has the potential to be highly profitable and means of achieve financial success, particularly when approached  with intensive research, planning and ability  to hold it for extended period of time. The lessons I learned from my personnel experience of investments in real estate suggest that location is everything when we invest in property, and returns on commercial property investment are comparatively better than residential.

Investing in real estate has a lot of profit it is not for ordinary people that can go into real estate and one of the problem people are still facing globally is the issue of housing  the population is growing and affordability of housing is also increasing so is not even everyone that can have access to good housing. And even the government is finding it difficult to make provision of houses available, location to matters and it have its own way of affecting the price, ordinary person can not start going into but is everybody's  dream to own an estate, aside the money investors make from it, a very big solution to to the housing industry.

I have to says Sevilla was displayed good performance yesterday that although Manchester City playing agressive since the beginning of match but Sevilla can focus and they can able to managed their defense with very well but indeed penalty shot out result is very hard to predicted because it depend on the players mentally themself and Manchester City have been proven that they have champion mentality which make they can able to through an this match with the winning result

Apparently 2023 is Manchester City year because at this year they can able to achieve several trophies including Europa Super Cup trophy yesterday and this is first trophy for Manchester City for this event besides that Guardiola has personal records because during his managerial career Guardiola has been collected 4 Europa Super Cup trophies and his achievement is equal to Ancelotti

Everyone that actually watched the match between sevila and manchester city will actually know sevila was on fire and they were giving manchester city a very though time even to score and even haaland was struggling yesterday to score and was no way and even walker was putting effort to score but all chances were blocked by sevila players, and manchester city managed to win and they were pushing hard to go too a penalty shoot out, since its a 50/50 thing is either they win or they lose and and what i was angry about how sevila had good chances to score and they were unlucky and finally they won the super cup and manchester did well this season, but the way things are going his season is not going to be an easy one at all, and guadiola will start getting worried with the performance other clubs are coming with this season.

Overtime I hardly made use of twitter account and it calls to my noticed that twitter logo was replaced to X instead of the previous logo. Now I was curious to know why such thing happened and why change logo X, does it positively affect the users in any way?
I don't know how many of you are regular user of twitter since I barely relates over there and I noticed is not cool for me to always use since the sold out to Elon Musk that was my ending love of using that social network.

If topic already existed I don't mind locking this thread.

And i actually like the formal twitter logo it was different and unique i don't really fancy this new logo which is x and i feel elon is trying to use this name for all is assets starting from tesla and space x and i think elon is even more obsessed with the space project i think that is were the x is coming from, and some times i have problem identifying twitter since i have to start looking for x and since we the user does not have a say on how he runs is business if not for that am very sure a lot of users are not that comfortable with the way elon change the name and the logo and very soon tesla to might have a change of name over time and since elon has interest in crypto he might invest in a project and also call it x.

Manchester City team is expected to defeat Newcastle for sure. However, since KBD is injured, Manchester City's attack may be a bit weak. But I hope that Pep Guardiola will fix that place wisely.

it won't be that easy the way you're saying it in a way Newcastle is currently on fire, it is looking as if every club is on fire and the season is just starting, and plenty of clubs are ready this season for manchester city, is not doing to be an easy ride for them this season, and de brune not present to has its own effect on Haaland since he gives haaland one of the best assist, and they clearly needs to start adjusting to the new development, let us see the outcome of the game.


Seeing how poorly City play against a weak Sevilla, I'm not at all sure that City can beat a strong Newcastle. Given that both City and Newcastle are good defensively, I'd rather bet on BTTS No than on the victory of one of the teams. It seems that the KDB injury could break City's plans for this season (the main thing is that the competitors do well).

How surprising and interesting the game is and how Sevilla is seriously putting pressure on manchester city, and losing a very good opportunity to score, am actually impressed with Sevilla's performance tonight, but with this pressure, I expected more goals from them and manchester city is has already equalized and what happened during the community shield with arsenal is somehow repeating itself again playing 1:1 and pressure is now coming from both sides and something is telling me Sevilla will win this game, to some extent they actually do deserve it.
1196  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is copy trading a viable option for newcomers? on: August 16, 2023, 08:17:16 PM
If you can never find a mentor, then copy trading is the best thing to do. In fact, we need the experience to gain more learning, and having this strategy would help us gain ideas as well. Of course, we can just stay long from doing this, as at the moment that we have ideas already we can make our own strategy applying those things that we have learned from copy trading. Because for me, I consider this as a stepping stone to grow and improve our skills.

Learning is expensive and so if we wanted to acquire this (learning), then we also have to spend some money in exchange for that valuable things.

I think having a mentor is not that bad, it is also a good measure to reduce risk if someone is seriously guided, I don't even think you will enjoy crypto without learning and easier mentorship, you keep learning new things every day as far as crypto is known there is an upgrade and etc. I don't personally believe that copy trading is too risky for me, I prefer you use copy trading to get ideas rather than going into it without knowledge, after learning one-two you can actually know the right steps to take, crypto involves too many processes so one wrong step can actually make you lose your assets

The game between Spain vs Sweden is about to go on with the favorite being Spain but this is going to be a hard knock to crack.
I believe the Sweden women won't let Spain get pass them that easy and they (Sweden) can even get a win in this encounter.
Since there meetings Spain have never beaten Sweden but can it be a different outcome in today's game? Only time will tell.
IMO I still see these two teams going into extra-time.

Even before the match started I know Spain will win the match those guys are not joking at all and Spain is always full of very talented players the only thing that was stopping Spain from winning was the defense of Sweden was tight and also the goalkeeper was also good because there were a lot of blocked shots from Spain, the game ended 2:1 with Spain winning after Sweden equalized 88 minutes of the game and Spain still won, women FIFA world cup is looking more interesting than that of the boys.  and I see them being more focused and dedicated a lot of teams fucked up doing the men's world cup tournament.

Those who think bitcoin as a job Always prefer the selling of everything and invest it in bitcoin but those who understand the fact and involve in bitcoin for only getting profit with income from another source too will never sell anything but they will save some amount to be put in bitcoin which is a good idea.

We should not depend fully on bitcoin because if we do it then at the time of lowering price we will not be able to eat well food at least. Physical business is more suitable because it is under the control of humans but crypto is neither control by human nor by any operating machine.

Investing is good but selling property to invest nah I don't I think I will advise that for anyone if anything should happen to the market it will definitely affect your investment, I prefer a situation where you use any money that you don't need to invest, one thing I despise is selling off my property, all is about planning and another thing is if you in possession or items you don't need you can sell to invest, and I see that we are on the same page, and depending on bitcoin fully is also not advisable better we have other sources of income so that we don't temper with our investment that is for does that have invested.

Barcelona drew away to Getafe. Barcelona, who were reduced to 10 men after Rapinha's red card towards the end of the first half, played a dominant game in the first half but could not find a goal. In the second half, with both teams down to 10 men after Getafe's Mata was red carded in the 57th minute, Barcelona increased the pressure and drew in the first match of the season.
Yesterday, Atletico Madrid made a good start to the league by winning 3-1 at home. With 3 goals and 3 points, Atletico took the lead in the first week.

And from the game, Barcelona had more chances, and enough attempts to score but all failed or were pushed out by the goalkeeper, and Barcelona losing some men actually affected their game and I wondered why they were playing rough the game was looking aggressive, they were looking for ways to win by all means and this Getafe club is a very stubborn club, and even at that they are nowhere near Barcelona from the stats barca had four shots on target and seven shots off target and this clearly shows the act of desperation that Barca wanted to score and the ball possession was 75 for Barca and 25 for Getafe so Barcelona had the lead but no goals.

Gunners were amazing in their opening EPL game this season, making positive impact on the faces of the supporters and the board. More elite clubs have improved their shapes and strengthened their vulnerabilities; it's truly phenomenal to see the Gunners compete at such an outstanding level both last season and this season. This time around, Arsenal will be scrutinized extensively. They had a fire in them that would accelerate them to become a dominant rival for the EPL crown. Mikel Arteta has bolstered his squad, and there is a great deal to be discovered about this fresh game plan.

Even has doh they played well they still seriously need to improve, and Arteta needs to improve from most of the matches have seen so far the premier league is going to be tough this season, even Chelsea is putting on a new form, and this is going to be a very dangerous season, and at first I was scared how saka was playing I think my confidence is still there for him. and the problem now is that we can only speak of last season and since is just the beginng we have to wait to see does that will survive, I don't want to high my hopes yet before I get disappointed there is time to decide.
