Your feeling failed you and Napoli only drew. However, they have now officially taken the Serie A title! Historic day! My congratulations to all Napoli fans, last season when they were in the lead I really wished them victory but then when they failed at the finish line I thought "it's just a dream and I'm unlikely to see it", but after only a year Napoli won Serie A  I'm really happy for Napoli. I have been rooting for them all season long. First league title in 33 years is a crazy feeling. The partying will be loud in all of Naples. You don't name your stadium after the great Maradona and not win the league Napoli were fierce all season long, they only slowed now when the league was safely secured. They deserve this. They've come close in two different occasions but they couldn't win it. They just did now and they deserve it. Osimhen man!! What a player. I wouldn't be leaving Napoli if I were him. No club will appreciate him the way Napoli appreciates him. See how they were chanting his name after he equalized and at the end of the match. It was a beautiful sight to see. I loved it. Italian fans in general have a special relationship with their layers. |

Although overall Man Utd's performance was also quite good in this match. but yeah Man utd is not good at finishing. The Ten Hag will definitely fix this. But I am quite satisfied with this game. the two teams presented an exciting match, the two of them took turns building attacks that made anyone who watched feel the tension in this match.
Man United have not been convincing since their main center backs got injured. They may not have been conceding many goals but the center backs have not been able to add what Martinez add to the attack. Martinez knows how to build the attack from behind just as Ten Hag likes. He is good on the ball and knows how to pick the right pass. Man United miss that. Brighton dominated the whole game tonight. From the possession to the chances created in the match , shots on target, everything. Man United were not impressive at all. Their striking options of Martial and Weghorst are not good enough. They need a quality striker up front and they need to fix that in the coming transfer window. |

They will look for money from anywhere to use it to gamble. Gambling addiction can lead to crime because of the urge to have money that will later be used for gambling. If the person doesn't get help soon, he will get worse and may borrow money from other people to gamble. If that happened, he could get into even bigger trouble especially if he couldn't repay the loan. If we see a member of our family experiencing gambling addiction and we know, we must immediately help him so that it doesn't get worse. So he can immediately cure his gambling addiction.
But how do we help them? I mean, when we see a relative or friend that's a gambling addict, how do we help this person? Just saying "help them" is not helping without actually knowing what to do. Because if I'm being honest, if I see a gambling addict, I won't know how to help him. It's not like I can just tell them to stop and they will stop. Addiction is way deeper than that. It's hard to get rid of an addiction. Gambling addiction if not managed always ends up putting the addict in debt no matter how rich they may be because if it gets too deep it will get to a level that where you will have to borrow to gamble and slowly it begins to get worst. |

After Tuchel became the coach of Bayern Munich, the Munich team played 8 matches. And they won only 3 matches. And they lost 3 matches. So far it can be said that Tuchel has failed to stabilize the team. Tuchel will definitely have to prove his mettle. Bayern Munich is not doing well in the Bundesliga after being eliminated from the Champions League. Winning the title is now challenging for them. If Dortmund's performance continues, I don't think Munich will be able to win the title this year. Bayern Munich will play only four matches this season. Apart from Leipzig, the other three teams are relatively weak. Looking forward to seeing how Munich performs.
I knew Tuchel was not going to make much difference when he took over at Bayern. I can even say they've gotten a little worst because before Neggelsman left Bayern were beginning to get their rhythm back, in the league at least. Despite the fact that Bayern are a slightly not at their best, I believe they will win the league. Four wins and the league title is theirs for the 9th time in a row. Dortmund still have Wolfsburg and Monchenglabach to play. Both of these teams can be very stubborn to beat when they want to be, plus, Dortmund can be inconsistent too. If Dortmund can remain consistent, they better pray Leipzig will be able to take a point from Bayern Munich. |

I think the type of players like him can perform well even in the strongest league in the world I would judge the Premier League,in no other places we see title runner up like Arsenal failing at home and barely equalizing against the last place there Southampton.Italian league in fact for me is more difficult to score goals than the Premier League as in Italy most teams play defensively most of the times and games in these last couple of years have been boring,really boring there while in England the teams play a much more open football in general and players like Victor Osimhen with the quality he has can shine even brighter than he is doing in Italy with Napoli.
The delusion that the English league is the toughest league in the world. Lol. What exactly do you use to measure the toughest league in the world? Because Southampton got a draw with Arsenal? C'mon!! Getafe is 18th on the league table and they got a draw with Barcelona who are one win away from winning their league. Three game weeks ago Napoli draw with Verona. Verona is 18th on the table while Napoli will soon be crowned league winners. My point is that happens everywhere. Its not exclusive to the EPL. And you said the Serie A is defensive and boring, really? There are four teams from three leagues currently in the Champions league semi finals. One from England, One from Spain and two from the boring league. In fact, the Serie A got more interesting in the last couple of years. As for Osimhen, he's got to be careful the team he goes to. A striker needs a team that can create chances for him to finish. If the team don't create enough chances, there will be no goals for him. Chelsea and Tottenham are not going to the champions league so I won't advise him to go there. So that leaves Man United. |

I just don't understand Milan and Roma recently. Neither of them is playing like they really want to finish the season in top four this season. I assume Milan don't think of their chance as quite much in the Champions League to go for title. It would be too optimistic to think that they can eliminate Manchester City or Real Madrid in the finale even if they get past Inter in the semi finals.
Its not just Milan and Roma, Inter too. Inter won today and they are 2 points ahead of Roma, Atlanta and Milan. But don't be surprised that in the weekend Inter will lose or draw while either or all of Atalanta, Milan and Roma will win and overtake them. Its this inconsistency by these three teams that I've been saying lately. Its like they're fighting for who will not qualify for the champions league. I cant blame them much though. They have played till towards the end of the season an they're beginning to get fatigued. It happened with Napoli too. Its a long season and it very difficult to stay in form all season long. |

I have never see these statistics before but I know gambling is pretty huge these days. Gambling companies make a lot and they spend a lot on marketing because the competition is quite high.
I agree that the marketing plays a tremendous role in the promotion of gambling.
Also, as sports gets bigger so does gambling in it increase. If the views of a particular sport is projected to increase, you can be sure that gambling on that particular sport will increase.
It's also a very profitable industry, I'm not in it but I can guess so because if it wasn't profitable there wont be so many online gambling sites or casinos.

The match ended in draw. Evennif Villarreal was able to win the match, I do not see them entering the top 4 in detriment of Real Sociedad. Recently, Sociedad seems to be stronger than before as they were able to win 3 out of their last 5 matches. That is actually the same form that the league leaders Barcelona are. W3 D1 L1...That being said, I will like to see Sociedad in the next champions league other than Villarreal because they will give a better fight. The good joy i derive from Villarreal is the Nigerian born winger Chukwueze who occasionally destroyes Madrid  Real Sociedad is now seven points ahead of Villareal, that places Sociedad in a close to uncatchable position. The back to back losses Villareal had against Valladolid and Sevilla certainly didn't help. But if you look at the last eight matches of both Real Sociedad and Villareal in the league, they've both had five wins, two losses and one draws. Those are very identical stats, so at this rate Sociedad retains the 4th position. Unsatisfactory results continued to be felt by Real Madrid, this time they had to lose to Real Sociedad. To be honest, Real Madrid have been on a downturn lately, and if they do, it will make it even more difficult for them in the Champions League. In the Champions League, they will face Manchester City, which incidentally is the favorite to beat Real Madrid. They have to prepare for the Champions League match in the best possible way, because their opponents are really difficult.
Atletico is winning currently and if it stays like that Real Madrid will drop to 3rd position in the league. People keep saying Madrid is only focused on the copa del rey final and the champions league but losses in the league can affect their mentality. Man City is constantly winning while Madrid is doing the opposite. At this rate, Osasuna has a very big chance of walking home with the Copa del rey trophy this weekend. |

Arsenal winning the London Derby game is not a surprised to me. i knew this lampard can not match with Artete men, Arsenal just has to keep winning all their games at hand, hopefully they might not win the title, but they should not give up on it , they have to keep fighting till the end , this is english premier league, anything can happen,Manchester city could drop point too, they can't win all their matches. i really which Arsenal clinch the league title, Manchester city should not be dominating the league every year.
I really wish Arsenal can win all their remaining matches, but I'm afraid they can't. I also really wish Man City will drop point in the league before the season ends, but I'm not sure they will. The odds of both things happening is very low. Even if Man City drops point, Arsenal will still most likely drop points. Man City don't look like a team that will lose any match. Yea, anything can happen, and it has nothing to so with just the English premier league. Anything happens in football. tonight, Manchester city will face west ham united, if west ham could just hold Manchester city to a draw, it will be a good news to Arsenal. Manchester city has alot of games at hand, they has the Champions league semi finals with Real Madrid this game might just distract them. Arsenal is only playing the premier league that should be advantage to them to be focus and take every games as a finals.
Like I said, its going to be a miracle for West Ham to take a point from Man City. West Ham are not even in a good form right now. But lets assume they perform a miracle today and get a point, Arsenal still have to play Newcastle on Sunday. Newcastle don't look like a team that Arsenal can stop right now. |

I read an article yesterday that said Inter Milan have decided to sell Lautaro if he decides to leave. They have placed a price tag on him but I don't know how much it is, but I know he's not going to be cheap. But I don't think Lautaro is who Man United should be going after. I feel they should go for Harry Kane. He fits the profile of what they need. He provides goals and also creates goals. He's a leader and has lots of experience, plus he has won the golden boot in the premier league before. Kane is among the best in the world in his position and Man United would be going for that kind of player. |

I don't think the coach is the main issue Chelsea is facing right now; I believe the players must put in more effort to avoid relegation because I can see Chelsea working in that direction because all of the teams in the relegation zone are now serious about escaping.
A team cannot lose six straight matches, while scoring only 2 goals in those matches and a coach isn't the main issue. It's definitely the coach. Chelsea have an okay squad, not a world class squad but they have a squad that shouldn't be losing six straight games. Have you watched Chelsea play? They are awfully awful. Today's game, Arsenal wasn't that great, no disrespect to Arsenal, but Chelsea was just too poor. It all boils down to the coach. The coach plays the biggest role in this situation. They don't even create chaces when they get the ball. They just pass it around and do nothing with it. They play Man City next so you can make that seven straight losses in a row. Unbelievable, for a club that has spent this much in recruiting players.. |

Real Madrid might not win todays match against Real Sociedad. A couple of key players will be missing for Real Madrid including Benzema and Modric. Madrid always suffer without Benzema. He is their best and highest goal scorer.
Real Sociedad are playing at home and that might be an advantage to them. They play well at home and Madrid won't be in the best of form tonight.
Also, Madrid have a final to play against Osasuna this weekend and they may rest a couple of their players for that final. They will also be thinking of the UCL clash with Man City so their might not be high intensity from Madrid.

Considering the defeats of Real Madrid in the league, we can talk about Manchester City dominating the match in England. If they dominate the match, they can easily pass the round with a solid defensive game in Spain. Real gave great danger signals in Girona match in the defending zone. If they repeat the same mistakes in the Manchester City game, they can concede 4 more goals.
It's as clear as day light that Man City will dominate. I have never watched a game that Man City did not dominate, whether they win, lose or draw. The last semi final clash between Man City and Madrid was dominated by Man City, both legs. Madrid is good at hanging back a bit and hit on the counter attack. It's what they do, it's what has worked for them for years. They're so good at it. They don't have to play well to win. Pep's team on the other hand have to play well before they win. If they play badly they they will lose. Madrid can win playing badly and also win while playing well. Man City have got to be very careful at the back, they have to be very solid defensively if they want to win Madrid. There has to be no margin for errors. Bury the chances you get against Madrid if not they will hurt you. |

The bosses of Bavaria live in the past. They think it's still possible to get top players just because of their brand or cheap. But it doesn't work like that anymore. Even a free player demands a signing bonus simply for the fact that he chooses your club. Even a player who was already in Bayern, Lewandowski, wanted a more solid contract than for a year, and in the end, due to the fact that Bayern did not accept this desire, everything ended in a scandal. The bosses of Bavaria do not understand the reality they are already in. It will cost them dearly.
They have the luxury of getting most of the players they want in the league that's why they still live in the past The other teams in the Bundesliga are not as rich as Bayern, so they happily take whatever Bayern offers. It's like Bayern has an influence on these clubs. Coupled with the fact that every player in the Bundesliga will want to play for the most successful club in Germany. Assuming Man City are not a rich club and they have a solid structure under Pep, Bayern could have easily taken Halland from Dortmund if they wanted to, like it happened with Lewandoski. It's going to be very difficult for any other club to knock Bayern out of the top because Bayern just quietly takes the best players in the other Bundesliga teams if they want to. |

let's compare, in the transfer market last winter. every major club, resisted the urge to shop for their coveted player. because, they want to make sure which players will be retained and which players suit the needs of the team. then, they will be looking for the ideal player in the transfer window next summer.
Let's see what Todd Boehly does. he did something the big clubs never do. in fact, Liverpool only brought in 1 player, namely Gakpo. whereas, this team is both in trouble like Chelsea. we'll see, from some of the players he brought in in the transfer market last winter. there is only 1 player who can really adapt well, namely, Enzo Fernandez. the rest, everything is in shambles. one more thing, Todd Boehly brought in a winger from Shakhtar Donetsk with a dowry of 100 million euros. but in fact, he did not show a slick performance. in fact, tends to be a reserve player. so, it was clear that this mistake was not Potter's will. but Todd's fault as Chelsea's big boss, as well as a technical director whose capacity is very doubtful.
Now Chelsea's position is ranked 12th. so, don't expect them to finish in the top 4 of the standings. because, it seems almost impossible with only 6 matches left. the point is, Todd Boehly must choose a coach who can really bring Chelsea in a better direction next season.
Before I will blame anybody for Chelsea's suffering, I'd first blame Boehly. I don't know how he understands football but he was moving like a clueless man. He was going for every available player. Anybody who has good football knowledge will know that Chelsea was going to fail. He bought a lot of high risk players because most of the players he bought were potential player, no real world class or established players. You can't buy that amount of potential players all at once. It's a certainty that they won't all develop well together. Rebuilding takes time. You can't rebuild a team in just one season. And he still didn't learn his lesson, he went ahead to hire Lampard. And now he's thinking of Pochettino. I'm sorry to say, but Chelsea are in a whole lot of trouble. |

I think Arsenal still have a chance to win the EPL this season even though it's very small considering Manchester City is so powerful this season, I remember when Arsenal had a wide point difference with Manchester City at that time it was 8 points away. But arsenal couldn't take advantage of that as well as possible which resulted in Manchester City being able to shift their ranking.
If able to beat Chelsea, there is a possibility for Arsenal to be able to compete until the end of the competition with Manchester City in the race for the title. But the city is at the forefront at this time in winning the EPL trophy.
I don't see the chance Arsenal has to be honest. They blew their chance. Now they just have to hope on Man City to lose or draw two matches at least. Man City ain't dropping any more point till the season ends, but that is not thee issue. The question is, will Arsenal win the rest of their matches if Man City slips up? It looks very unlikely. I believe they will win Chelsea tomorrow because Chelsea are beyond horrible but after that they play Newcastle. Except Arsenal sits up, I don't think they will be able to win Newcastle with this current form of theirs. The league belongs to Man City. They don't mess up opportunities like this. They almost did last season but they somehow managed a comeback against Aston Villa in the last game of the season. |

Did anyone of you watch the Sevilla vs Girona match?
I think it's an interesting match even though both are mid-table sides this season. Sevilla, who are unbeaten in their last 5 matches, had to loss by Girona 0-1 in the first half, but Sevilla completely dominated this match.
Sevilla is hoping for a win to boost their confidence as La Liga is not the only competition they have played in so far. Keeping in good form is expected as Sevilla are still in the Europa League so I think they will have to find a way to break down the Girona defense during the second half.
Its 2-0 for Girona already. The man who buried Real Madrid, Castellanos scored again, taking his goal tally to 12 goals in the league this season Sevilla is throwing away an opportunity to climb to the top half of the table. If they win todays game, they will be 8th on the table. A win would have given them 44 points and they would have gone past Rayo, Osasuna, Girona. They would have been only 3 points behind Bilboa. But I guess that's not going to happen because I don't think they can do a comeback I this match even if they're currently pressing. Girona is a decent team and they're not going to fumble this lead. |

Juventus didn't take advantage of the opportunity, even though Allegri had said he would not let Inter Milan enter the Champions League zone this season, but this match the Juventus players wasted points. I think Juventus need to find a sharp centre-forward and a midfielder with a lot of skill and agile wings, only Di Maria has to defend. With the draw in the match against Bologna, Juventus has made the competition in the UCL zone even hotter and tougher. The difference between the second and seventh ranks is only 6 points.
2. Lazio 61
3. Juve 60
4. Inter 57
5. Milan 57
6. Romans 57
7. Atalanta 55
Juventus threw up an opportunity to overtake Lazio in second position. After Lazio lost to Inter, I thought Juventus will seize the opportunity to go second by winning Bologna but they didn't. I don't think Lazio and Juventus are in any danger of losing out of the champions league spot. The trouble is on Inter, Milan, Roma and Atlanta. None of these teams is consistent enough to own the 4th position. There is strong competition between these teams this season. Four team will be fighting for one spot and its going to get more interesting in these remaining game weeks of the season. |

I see man city every year is a team that has great potential to become a UCL champion (same as PSG) because I see their squad is almost perfect but they are like a curse, especially if they play in the semifinals or finals, they always fail to win
against madrid who is always the King in the UCL is not an easy matter, Madrid is an extraordinary team, especially when they make an epic comeback
Its true that Man City are always very good every season but somehow they never win it. They've been very unlucky in the champions league. The year they lost the final to Chelsea was understandable because it was their first final. I don't think any team in modern day football has won the final in the first time they're playing in it. Madrid is the biggest team in the champions league but I'm certain Man City will be the winner of this particular tie and if Man City survives Madrid they will win anybody they play in the final between Inter Milan and AC Milan. |

PSG fans said the best goal that has ever made by mbappe. glad to see that lorient was taking what they deserved. They deserve win against PSG. PSG played so badly against lorient. Mbappe was again making spectaculer goal against lorient. Lorient didn't wanna try to miss golden opportunity by beating PSG with huge score like this. Losing at home is a very embarrassing result for PSG. PSG has so many stars but these stars are pretty much the same like average players. PSG is elite squad with zero result. It's lucky enough to be at the number one in league 1. League is not as competitive as another league. It will be different if PSG was on the spanish league, english league or italian. I disagree that PSG have elite stars. Their attack is elite, but that's just about it. There's nothing elite about their midfield. The only elite player they have in midfield is Verratti and he gets injured a lot. The rest of the midfield is a bunch of average and slightly above average players. Their defense should be doing well, but I have this theory in football that if the midfield is poor, the defense will most definitely suffer. Added to the fact that PSG don't have an elite coach. Or he's an elite coach but his tactics is not just working at PSG. PSG should get a better coach try to reinforce their squad if they want to compete next season. |
