RCB are in trouble now if they don't remove Gill soon. GT still has Miller, Pandya, Tewatia and Rashid who are serious match-winners on their day which is why wickets falling quickly is the only way that I see RCB winning this one.

Siraj is the key bowler, but he only has two overs remaining. Am hoping that they somehow manage to defeat GT in order to witness RCB vs LSG in the playoffs.

They are not playing as well as I expected from Bengaluru. Virat Kohli scored back-to-back centuries. He played well. But I don't see responsible performance from other batsmen in the team. Even then, Bengaluru managed to set a big target of 198 runs with the help of Virat Kohli's responsible batting. But the performance of their bowlers today is very poor. Bowlers are not able to take wickets. After 14 overs, Gujarat collected 134 runs. But they lost only one wicket. I don't see a chance for Bengaluru to win if they can't pick up wickets.

Nottingham Forest VS Arsenal

I expected a good performance from Arsenal today. But Arsenal's performance is not good today. Although they are dominating the match, Arsenal are trailing 1-0 at the end of the first half. Taiwo Awoniyi's goal gave Nottingham Forest a 1-0 lead in just 19 minutes.
Second half of the match have started and Nottingham forest is still maintaining their 1-0 lead, Arsenal performance is below my expectation, I wasn’t expecting the match to be a difficult one for Arsenal but they are finding it difficult to score in the match, Arsenal should be Ashamed of themselves if they can lose the match, am not even expecting a draw from them. But I don’t know why am having confidence that Arsenal is going to win the match, we can decide if they will draw, win or lose yet, since this is just the beginning of second half.
Since Nottingham Forest managed to take a 1-0 lead, the team will now play completely defensively. They will not attempt any attack. Nottingham Forest will be happy to win this match 1-0 or draw 1-1. In the second 15 minutes, Nottingham players did not attempt any attack. Arsenal's players attacked, but they could not break Nottingham's defense. Moreover, in today's match we feel Arsenal's attack is aimless. They are not playing well. I wouldn't be surprised if Nottingham win today.
This is a verdict match that would decide the fate of Nottingham Forest if they are going to survive away from the relegation zone and knowing full well how crucial this match is to them they just got to give their best shot by defending every chance they have got to escape relegation. There's no way arsenal artilleries are going to break through the Forest defense line cause they arsenal have lost this game right from the first 20mins of play.
Manchester City need not stress themselves about tomorrow's game with Chelsea as the outcome of this match has reduce every tension about them winning the EPL title based on a win for them City against Chelsea.

In the end, Arsenal lost the match 1-0. Arsenal's overall gameplay was not good. Even against a team like Nottingham, they did not play full attacking. Arsenal players have attacked very little in this match. Arsenal missed out on the title this season due to defeat in this match. The team was in very good form at the beginning of the season. But due to the deterioration of performance in the last few matches, Arsenal could not win the title.

Manchester City won this year's Premier League title. So now don't worry about Premier League matches. Manchester City will now look to strengthen their squad for the Champions League.

Delhi Capitals VS Chennai Super Kings

After a while, the match between Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super Kings is going to be held. Today's match is very important for Chennai to ensure the knockout round. However, the Chennai team is now second in the table. However, if they lose today's match, the knockout round will be uncertain for them. Because Bengaluru and Mumbai teams are placed fourth and sixth in the table with 14 points. Chennai needs 2 points from today's match.

Chennai won the previous match against Delhi Capitals by 27 runs. However, the performance of Chennai's batsmen was not very good. They managed to collect 167 runs by losing 8 wickets. If the performance is similar in today's match, I think the chances of Chennai's defeat are high. Because the Delhi Capitals team is in good form now.

Chennai captain MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat. And today they managed to make a good start. At the end of 3 overs, Chennai collected 30 runs without losing any wickets. If Chennai doesn't lose very quick wickets, they will be able to collect big today. Because Chennai's batting line-up is strong enough. The first 6 overs of the power play are very important. If Chennai does not lose a wicket in these 6 overs, they will be able to give a target of more than 200 today. I am betting on Chennai to win this match. Hope they don't disappoint me today.
Tremendous batting by chennai super kings their openers totally destroyed Delhi Capitals balling , the target given is huge and difficult to chase .
Chennai Super Kings need to ball like their batting to make this a sure win for their teams. Their batsman worked really hard for this target hopefully their ballers do that too.
Chennai Super Kings batted first and gave a target of 233 runs. This run will be very difficult for Delhi Capitals team to overcome. But it is expected that Chennai Super Kings will win this match very easily. Chennai Super Kings team batsman Conway scored 87 runs off 52 balls. Ruturaj  Gaikwad scored 79 runs off 50 balls. These two batsmen managed to score so many runs for a very good game. Now if the bowling line is good and Delhi Capitals can keep the team batsmen under pressure then they will win this match very easily.

The Chennai team won as expected. Delhi was not a strong opponent. Chennai's batsmen's performance was excellent today. Especially the two openers played very well. The collection of the two openers was 166 runs today. Raturaj Gaikwad scored 79 runs and Devon Conway scored 87 runs. The performance of the batsmen as well as the bowlers was quite controlled. Except Jadeja, every bowler performed well today. Jadeja managed to pick up a wicket but he conceded 50 runs in 4 overs. Chennai and Gujarat have already secured the knockout round. Also waiting to see which two teams will qualify for the knockout round.

Arsenal had 81% of the ball in the first half. Even after 81% possession of the ball, Arsenal could not score any goals. Arsenal players were able to make 6 shots but they could not score. Arsenal players are not confident today. Perhaps because of the lack of a chance to win the title, Arsenal's midfield performance was poor today. Arsenal are also likely to lose against Nottingham Forest.

Mathematically, Newcastle have not passed the UCL because they still meet Leicester City, who are struggling to avoid relegation, and Chelsea, who could qualify for Man United or Liverpool.
From which mathematics do you express mate? Newcastle even has the capital to continue to defend itself in the top three standings, whose position is in the UCL zone. And the two teams that Newcastle still have to face are teams that are not so strong this season so that Newcastle's chances of settling in the top three in the standings are far greater than Manchester United, who actually still have to fight for victory in the remaining three matches.

Newcastle's next two match opponents are Leicester City and Chelsea. Although two renowned clubs of the Premier League, the performance of these two clubs is very poor this season. Chelsea are 11th in the points table and Leicester City are now in the relegation zone. The opposition is relatively weak and Newcastle will be favorites in both of these matches. Newcastle's players will win both matches if they are able to put in some consistent performances. My guess is we'll see a Newcastle side in the top 3 of the table at the end of the season unless something goes wrong. Newcastle points deserve a third place in the table. They have been very diligent this season.

Punjab Kings are batting after losing the toss against Rajasthan Royals. So far Punjab Kings have collected 30 runs for one wicket after playing 3 overs. Punjab Kings managed to score 10 runs per over in the first three overs of the power play. 

The Punjab Kings team was able to set a target of 188 runs due to the excellent partnership of Shah Rukh Khan and Sam Curran. Punjab's top-order batsmen did not perform well today. Punjab lost 4 of their top-order batsmen to manage just 50 runs in 6.3 overs. Curran's 49 runs, Jitesh's 44 runs and Shah Rukh's 41 runs helped Punjab to muster a good total of 187. I would say this is a good enough collection to win if Punjab's bowlers are able to perform well. But as Rajasthan Royals batted badly in their last match, I cannot trust their players. Rajasthan lost all wickets for just 59 runs. But I hope to see a good performance from Rajasthan's batsmen today.

Sassuolo vs Monza today match, it will not going to be a tough match because sassuolo performance in this season is very poor which it will be very difficult for them to defeat Monza. Based on the Monza displayed in some matches, I think they will defeat sassuolo 3-1 to move to 8th position in the Italian league competition table, because sassuolo cannot use home advantage to stop them not to achieve victory from this match. Despite, the poor performance of sassuolo team are experiencing this season,  they will definitely score goal from this match but Monza will win the match at the end to make their fans happy.
I think Monza will win the match because Sassuolo Calcio are in trouble and Palladino seems like a better coach to me. I really liked Monza this season, they have played well with the big teams.
I bet on Monza.

Considering the recent performances of these two teams the Monza team seems to be the favourite. The performances of the Monza players have been very consistent in the last few matches. On the other hand, the performance of Sassuolo's players is not regular. They have won just one and lost three of their last 5 matches. On the other hand monza team is unbeaten in last 5 matches. Also Sassuolo's defense is quite weak compared to Monza. Considering the overall performance of both the teams, monza can be put ahead in this match. But I think this match is very likely to be a draw.

Newcastle united really displayed well from the beginning till the end of the match to defeated Brighton 4-1 to encourage their fans that they have what it takes to drag second position in this premier league competition. Newcastle united coach is doing a great job in this season, because the way the team has defeated many strong teams in this season showed that Newcastle united president will allow the coach to continue his good job next season for this beautiful performance he displayed. I don't think, Manchester united can take back that third position from Newcastle united because their opponent will not allow them to defeat them in their next match.

Newcastle beat a strong team like Brighton 4-1. The dominance of Newcastle's players was visible throughout the match. Newcastle played great in this match despite having only 34% ball possession. They had 22 shots and 9 were on target. Newcastle players were confident in this match.
Newcastle can qualify for the Champions League if they win one of their next two matches. Newcastle will play against Leicester City and Chelsea in the next two matches. As Newcastle are in form, they are likely to win both matches.
Newcastle's excellent performance in this match was made possible by their coach Eddie Howe. I don't think Newcastle's team is strong. There is no star player in the team. However, the team has consistently managed to perform well. Full credit must go to coach Eddie Howe.

That 100 from Virat Kohli in 63 balls was amazing. I love the energy from RCB in the field. Also, we had 2 100s in a single match of IPL from both teams. I don't think this ever happened earlier.

Also, here are the playoff qualifier chances for the teams:

GT - QUALIFIED.
CSK - 44%.
LSG - 39%.
MI - 9%.
RCB - 8%.

If MI loses and RCB wins the next, they will surely qualify.

I think Chennai, Gujarat, and Royal Challengers Bangalore will be able to qualify for the knockout round. Bengaluru has performed well in their last two matches. Most of the players on the team are in good form now. Especially the two openers Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Maxwell are able to perform well in almost every match. Bangalureu's NRR is now 0.180. That seems good enough. Bengaluru will play against Gujarat in the last match. As Gujarat have already qualified for the knockout round, this match is not very important for them. I think the Bengaluru team will be able to win in the last match as well.

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad on Saturday will be a tough match, because Real Sociedad will like to showcase some tactics that will make them shake Barcelona for the first half to make the match draw 0-0. No matter how prepared Real Sociedad prepare for this match, Barcelona will definitely use home advantage to embrace victory from this match, because Real Sociedad cannot stop Barcelona strikers not to have access to their goalpost through out the match. I believe, Barcelona will score two goals from this match that will make them to achieve the three points to celebrate.
There is no doubt that Real Sociedad is a very strong team in La Liga. And this team is in very good form right now. The team has not lost any match for a long time. However, Sociedad's past record against Barcelona is not good. Real Sociedad have not won any of their last 15 matches against Barcelona. And they drew in only one match. And so Barcelona will be favorites against Sociedad in the next match as well.
Also, this match is Barcelona's home match. At home, Barcelona will definitely be looking to win and the players will be confident. I expect Barcelona to win this match. And decided to bet on Barcelona to win. My guess is Barcelona will win this match 3-1.
Since Barcelona already won the League last matchday against Espanol, I'm still not sure if they'll put much effort into this particular game to win. That said, congratulations to them for winning the La Liga after four years. Since Real Sociedad are aiming for a lift to the Champions League they would make things difficult for Barcelona even if they can do them best to achieve a draw against them.
They've come a long way, I wouldn't want them to miss out on the slot of the Champions League, My own prediction would be for Barcelona yo be held to a fulltime draw outcome.

If you think from this point of view, the chances of Barcelona winning this match are low. Because Barcelona has already won La Liga. So the match is not important for them. Despite losing this match, Barcelona has no problem. But another thing is that this match is Barcelona's home match. Barcelona Club will not want to disappoint their fans in home matches. They will definitely want to play well and win the home match. However, I would like the match to be competitive and enjoyable. And I would like to see several goals from this match.

Man city destroyed real Madrid with 4 goals without leaving any room for surprises, with this result they prooved again that they are not joking and they are giving their best for getting the champoins league title, now they will play against inter and i believe they can do it without many defficulties
Manchester city had maximum control of the game. They came prepared and were very tactical throughout the game. They nullified the attacking flexibilities of Real Madrid and that gave them else to put them under pressure all through the game. This season, Manchester city’s treble is loading.. they will celebrate the champion league trophy more than who have won it 14 times. It will be more precious to them especially beating the most experienced team in the competition.
Manchester City's squad this season has been extraordinary, it is very difficult to stop their progress in any event. After being able to show his prowess when he beat the defending champion with a big score, I made sure that Manchester City were one step away from celebrating winning the Champions League for the first time in Istanbul. After this Pep Guardiola will of course shift his focus to domestic competition and most likely the Premier League and FA Cup will also be theirs. It's really great for Manchester City this season if they can win the Treble Winners.

After performing well in the away match, Manchester City also played well in the home match. They don't give any chance to Real Madrid. Real Madrid's players made several attacks, but they could not break City's defense. On the other hand, Manchester City players were able to maintain their dominance in the match. They won by a huge margin of 4-0 goals. I don't think we will see such a decline in Madrid. I expected this match to be very competitive. But we only saw Manchester City's dominance. Haaland did not perform well in this match. But Bernardo Silva played great in this match. He scored two goals. De Bruyne also had two assists.

$40,000 top this year, that's possible. But $11,000 as the bottom? That's most probably not going to happen. Not within the year, much less next year. 2024 is the halving year. Although there might be a dip months before the halving, I think $11,000 is a bit of an exaggeration. After the halving, the price will most likely be generally going up so $11,000 is very unlikely.

You're correct, if Bitcoin was meant to dump to $11,000, it should have happened last year as that was the only time the market was very bearish that the price of Bitcoin could have dropped that low but since it didn't happen that means it won't happen again.

If Bitcoin market was to become very bearish this year due to some bad news, the fall in Bitcoin price can only take it to below $20,000 and then a recover has to happen almost immediately. Bitcoin won't fall to as low as $11,000 if China or US ban it again.

By the end of this Bitcoin bull market next two years in 2025, Bitcoin would end up trading above $100,000 and that's because it's overdue to be trading that high. It won't happen this year or next year but it'll be happening in 2025 so we should plan towards then.

What happened to Bitcoin last year was terrible. Bitcoin was severely affected by the bankruptcies of big crypto players like 3AC, Voyager, Celsius, FTX, etc. There was also the ignominious Luna debacle. And what could be the worse of timing? All those happened in the time of pandemic and uncontrolled inflation and then a war in Europe. Macroeconomic factors also affected Bitcoin. But it didn't fall to $11,000. Why should it then fall that low within this year or next when things are getting better?

$100,000 could happen in either 2024 or 2025.

$11k sounds unlikely, but it's still possible, don't be sure of anything with this market. Bitcoin can't go from $69k to $11k, but it's much simpler to go from $30k to $11k. The future is unpredictable, no one can be sure that another crash like FTX or Luna will happen again, like when FTX and Luna crashed, we all didn't believe it until it happened. With that, the economic situation is still very bad, and if the Fed will continue to raise or keep rates high for a long time. It will probably be a lot worse than in 2022. No one can predict it, and to be careful, we need to plan for that scenario, don't be subjective.

Manchester city vs Real Madrid second leg will be a tough match for the both teams, but Manchester city will embrace victory like the way Inter Milan embraced victory from AC Milan. If Manchester city can draw first leg with Real Madrid in their home, showed that Manchester city will do everything possible within their strategy not to allow Real Madrid to score a single goal from this match because they will like to do what will make the whole world believe that they are stronger than Real Madrid. Even though Real Madrid look for draw 0-0 in this match, I don't think Manchester city will allow such thing to happen that will make the match to end up in a penalty shoot out.
I don't think any team between Manchester City and Real Madrid are willing to play penalties. They are very random and not guaranteed. Getting a draw is also not helpful for Real Madrid since this means extra time and penalties eventually.
Best option is to score at least 2 goals and stay vigilant until the end of the game. Manchester City are favourite thing match and people are waiting to see them passing through Real Madrid and Inter Milan to get the title this time

Neither team wants to draw the match. Because which team wins the penalty shootout is mostly down to luck. And so Madrid and Manchester City are no team willing to take the risk. Both teams will play to win. Both Madrid and City have strong squads. This match will be very competitive. And I think we will see quite a few goals in this match. Neither team will play defensively in this match. Both teams have very strong attack and midfield. I am looking forward to see Ancelotti and Guardiola's match tactics. Hopefully we will see a different strategy in this match.

The way Mumbai started their innings, I don't think they will lose this match. LSG collected only 35 runs in 6 overs of the powerplay, while Mumbai collected 58 runs without losing a wicket. After 10 overs, LSG collected only 68 runs. Mumbai's collection was 92 runs. But even then there was a slump in Mumbai's batting. Mumbai collected only 1 run in the 13th over. This is one of the reasons for Mumbai's defeat. Despite having plenty of experienced batsmen in the squad, Mumbai lost the match by just 5 runs. Nehal Wadhera got out after collecting only 16 runs off 20 balls. Batting like that stupidly makes it difficult to win the match.
Nehal Wadhera, Vishnu Vinod and Suryakumar Yadav struggled against the spinners (Ravi Bishnoi and Krunal Pandya). In a match where the required run rate was over 9 runs per over, 8 overs from these two bowlers only saw 53 runs being scored. And Bishnoi took the important wickets of Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma. Captaincy from Krunal Pandya was exceptional. He made the bowling changes at the right time, with the right bowler. Apart from the 19th over (which was bowled by Naveen-ul-Haq), Krunal's tactics worked perfectly well.   

I agree with you. Krunal Pandya's captaincy in this match was excellent. He has been able to use the right bowler at the right time. And because of the controlled bowling by the bowlers, LSG was able to win. Despite having T20 specialist batsmen like Tim Dawid and Sam Curran at the crease, Mumbai could not win this match. Full credit must go to LSG's bowlers for this. Marcus Stoinis also batted well in this match. He played an unbeaten innings of 89 runs off just 47 balls. Stoinis performed brilliantly at the moment when the team needed it.

The 178-run target looked like a target of 200-plus runs for MI. The last two overs by LSG and the failure of SKY, according to me, were the reasons why MI lost to LSG. The last over by Mohsin Khan was outstanding. Tim David and Cameron Green were a big disappointment whereas Marcus Stoinis and Pandya were the reasons why LSG was able to get 178 runs on a tough pitch for batting.
MI is the same team who used to make totals of 200 plus against quality opponents. And they were on the right track yesterday. When Ishan Kishan got out, they were at 103/2 after 11.1 overs. At this point, they needed just 75 runs from 8.5 overs, with 8 wickets to spare. But then their downfall started. First Suryakumar Yadav, and then Nehal Wadhera wasted a lot of deliveries. And then it reached a point where the required run rate shot up to 12 runs per over. Some big hits from Tim David brought down the RRR, but then the last over disaster sunk them.

The way Mumbai started their innings, I don't think they will lose this match. LSG collected only 35 runs in 6 overs of the powerplay, while Mumbai collected 58 runs without losing a wicket. After 10 overs, LSG collected only 68 runs. Mumbai's collection was 92 runs. But even then there was a slump in Mumbai's batting. Mumbai collected only 1 run in the 13th over. This is one of the reasons for Mumbai's defeat. Despite having plenty of experienced batsmen in the squad, Mumbai lost the match by just 5 runs.

If the OP could pull it off as per the title of this thread, and have a decent job that pays well worth it. then do it, at least it's better than you wasting it. let's reflect for a moment, around us, there are many people who are not well off. even to meet their standard of living, they have to look for additional work. since post-covid, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, its impact on the economy has been felt in all sectors. it's hard to find a job, even if there is one, the salary we get is below the minimum wage.
In other parts of the world, there are still many hungry people. don't save, just to get food today, it's very difficult for those who are lacking. so, share those of you who still have decent jobs.

If saving is good for you, then do it. but before that, you must have a plan and know what you are saving for. at least, you have a goal to save. By the way, in life, sometimes things come unexpectedly. good and bad in life, is a cyclical process that everyone can experience.

Yes, and during those "bad times" you might need what you've saved, no doubt about it. But even if you'll never need to spend those saved money, it's a good habit to not spend all you earn at once. Realizing that you can actually live with smaller amount makes you less dependent on your current salary, and one day you may consider moving for a less paying job but less exhausting too. We need that move sometimes to have more time to spend with our family, to learn new things etc.

Indeed. Your point is an excellent example of life-work balance. Saving is a beneficial habit for anyone, especially for those with a long term goal. We work to live and work for life, not vice versa. Sometimes we need to make choices over making less money/working less hours for spending more time with family or simply for yourself. Nowadays not many people can calm down and rethink about life and our most valuable time. I have always been a hard worker but known this clearly that life is larger than work.

For me, saving is important and imperative, although I don't have a goal for that, but in life, there are always surprises that we can't anticipate, it will help us in that case.  Currently, my income is quite stable compared to the average income in my country. But I never thought that I would stop saving because I have a better income than others. As you said, there will come a time when we, too, have to choose between making less money and spending time on other things. Because life is very short, but there are many things to take care of, not just work or money.

I live in a province so the COVID-19 was not that bad here. The food is not a problem, since we have a garden that has fruits and veggies, we even have chickens. The very important lesson I learned way back covid-19 was to save money as much as possible just in case of emergency. Eat healthy foods, exercise, and have a healthy lifestyle.

It's been a long journey but we all successfully passed that problem, thanks to God. Let's just hope there's no pandemic coming next anymore.

My family and neighbors are just like you, we don't have food problems because we are self-sufficient, we just have financial difficulties because our work and business are completely closed. We are much better than in densely populated urban areas where I heard they don't even have instant noodles to eat.

Thinking back on what happened is really bad and heartbreaking, but it's all over, and that's a lesson for us because there's no guarantee that there won't be another pandemic in the future. Always prepare everything carefully, don't be too subjective.
