Manchester City are back on the top of the EPL on goal difference, though Arsenal have a game in hand, Arsenal shouldn't lose their focus, the league has been thrown wide open but their destiny is still in their own hands, and if they can get a couple wins after these disappointing results of losing to Everton, drawing to Brentford, and losing to City (thus out of a possible 9 points they have picked up only 1 point), then they can get right back on track.

Having said that, i think the league is now more of a three horse race between Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United, they are all pretty close to each other in terms of points accrued, whilst City and the Gunners both have 51 points each, United are just 5 points behind, thus everything is still very open and nobody knows who'll win the league at this stage.

There's no way Chelsea are getting back to scoring goals without a proper striker playing up front.
Kai Havertz is just too poor in that role.
Well i was pretty surprised that they invested the amount of money they did in this January transfer window without actually buying an orthodox striker, i really can't understand why they were buying the players they did buy without solving one of their most pressing problem, it just doesn't make sense; Todd Boehly just went on a buying spree without considering what's best for the club.

Having said that, Dortmund have a real advantage heading into the second leg, and with how poor Chelsea are playing i don't think they have any chance of coming back into this game. I would reiterate that i don't think Graham Potter can lead Chelsea to trophies, sooner or later he is going to be fired, the club can't spend the amount of money they are doing and continually fail to win football matches, it is totally unacceptable.

1685  Economy / Economics / Re: A crypto hub: an answer to Busan aging population dilemma? on: February 15, 2023, 11:33:42 AM
You can watch the documentary on this link, and the Vice Major of Busan also participates in it (note that the video is from 3 years ago).
Thank you for sharing this documentary, i watched it and it was interesting and educative to say the least. Crypto is quite popular in South Korea (and is affecting the dominance of Chaebols), that is prolly why Busan are looking to crypto to solve their problem of aging population, i believe it could work because young South Koreans are interested in finding a way to a better life through crypto, thus they might consider moving to Busan if it presents them the opportunity to join or start crypto startups in order to achieve financial freedom. Though i don't think this would provide a long term solution if they rely on just this.

A bit off topic, it was also interesting to find out through the documentary that the average Korean has a global/international and a Korean age, this made me do a little research and i found out that for the Korean age they add the time spent in the womb as a year once born, and they add one year to their age every new year, and not on their birthdays as normal.

Even the prodigal son had to return to his father when he could no longer survive on his own, he would have prolly died if he didn't return, and i think we can all agree that ones parent would prefer their children return to them for help that to run into trouble, or to steal to survive or die whilst trying to make ends meet all on their own.

Having said that, there is a difference between completely depending on ones parent for survival and requesting for financial aid so you could stand on your own feet, whilst the former is bad because you would turn out to be dependent and lazy, i don't see anything wrong with the latter, if your parents are capable of 'bailing' you out, then by every means you should allow them do so, rather than you doing something evil to survive or pay off debts.
1687  Other / Off-topic / Re: Crypto makes you more attractive, according to a new survey on: February 15, 2023, 09:06:37 AM
Crypto knowledge is still burgeoning in my country, and the knowledge of crypto is prevalent amongst the male folks than the opposite sex, thus whilst the male folks have an understanding of Bitcoin and other whatnots, the females do not so much, thus the only inkling they have about it is "scam", because they have seen some high profile cases of crypto losses, thus they definitely wouldn't want their partner to be involved in it.

Having said that, i have friends who hide their crypto activities from their wives and GF's because they would never approve of it, and despite how you would try to educate them on it, only "scam" comes to their mind. Crypto doesn't make one attractive in my own country, rather i'd say individuals who do 9-5 jobs are seen as being more attractive, they might not be making adequate funds, but people view that group as being more financially responsible than someone who is into cryptocurrencies.
1688  Economy / Economics / Re: Can one achieve financial independence through crypto currency? on: February 15, 2023, 08:46:32 AM
in theory cryptocurrencies can provide financial freedom to users,, because the Defi system has provided long-term rewards to stakers ..
You cannot achieve financial freedom by locking your crypto up because you want to earn interest through doing that, by merely locking your funds up that way you aren't in control of the funds anymore, you can either be scammed easily or the platform in which you've staked your coins could fold up and that would signal the end of your money.
Quote
however, in practice this is difficult to happen because many Defi projects are scams and don't pay their stakers, and Defi projects that still pay their users no longer provide the high rewards they promised at the start
That is exactly why you should stay away from them. If you want to earn long term ROI on crypto, you should buy Bitcoin through DCA and hold it for a couple of years, that way you'd be in control of your coins as well as the ROI accrued.

The same can be said for Tottenham but lately in their last game they were losing it with a tennis result from one of the weaker teams this season there and I read this as a potential red flag for the game of tonight.
That was why i said the game is evenly matched, both AC Milan and Spurs can't win their respective Leagues, what they are currently playing for is basically to qualify for the CL next season. Anyway it is always good to get a good result right before a big CL game, but Spurs lost to Leicester City 4-1, whilst Ac Milan beat Torino 1-0, thus AC Milan are prolly the team going into this game with much better confidence.
1690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: February 14, 2023, 07:21:45 AM
I don't know if Milan can beat Spurs tonight... Milan are in a tough crisis and are losing to almost everyone in Serie A... Although Spurs are not playing very stable either, I think they can win tonight... I'll risk to bet on them with odds of 3.1...
The both teams are as evenly matched as it gets, both in quality of players and in their recent performances, neither Spurs nor Ac Milan are doing quite well in their respective leagues, Tottenham are 5th in the EPL standings, whilst Ac Milan are likewise 5th in the Seria A standings. The game is difficult to call/predict, i would rather just watch the game than stake anything on it, i think the most probable result in this first leg tie might be a draw, or since Ac Milan are at home they might manage to squeeze in a slender victory, we'll see how things pan out tonight.
1691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 13, 2023, 10:24:40 PM
This is not the best time real madrid is supposed to have a player like Salah because he is advanced already and it will definitely affect performance. Younger player like Osimhen that is performance is very active. Salah is not very strong in his performance like used to be some years ago.
Why would anyone even think that Real Madrid are going to make a move for Mo Salah, not only because of the age of the Egyptian, but because Real Madrid would be solely interested in an orthodox striker in the summer, and Salah isn't that, as his strongest position is playing from any of the two wings. I don't even think Liverpool would want to sell a senior player like Salah in the summer, they are still suffering from the decline caused by their sale of Sadio Mane last summer, thus they wouldn't want to make the same mistake twice.

Having said that, Real might be more interested in Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker is currently one of the best strikers in the world, and he is definitely going to allure interests from clubs like Manchester United and Real Madrid in the summer, the thing is just that he is going to cost quite a lot of money, and if he would be willing to move because he has found a home in Napoli.
1692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: February 13, 2023, 09:30:10 PM
Mbappe and Mane won't be on the field tomorrow as far as I know. Both teams will be on the field without one of their most important players. Mane's absence is a great loss for Bayern, as well as a great loss for Psg in Mbappe.  In fact, the situations are equal. Paris SG's roster looks better. They are in a better position than Bayern Munich.
Well last week rumors had it that Mbappe would be out for a couple of weeks, thus meaning he was going to miss the first leg of their crunch encounter with Bayern Munich, but it seems that Mbappe has recovered sooner than expected as he trained with the first team squad yesterday and today, thus he could be in contention to start tomorrow. There was also a minor injury scare for Lionel Messi, but he was seen in training today, so he could be fit for the game tomorrow. Whilst in Mane's case, it is certain that he is out of the game, so as things stand it looks like it is advantage Bayern Munich.

I can't really figure the real problem of Liverpool,  because the  club has good players and the same Liverpool coach did well for his team in Last season.  Things just changed for Liverpool this season,  their performance is very poor  and no effort of getting better this season, I never expected it this way.
Well i don't think anyone expected Liverpool to decline in this way and in this time, i guess it is what it is, but with how they've done their transfer business in the last couple of years, they were definitely going to decline sooner rather than later, and it happened this season. They let Mane go for very cheap, and their replacement in Nunez isn't really convincing, the club also has an aging midfield, that's why they have identified Jude Bellingham as their top target for the summer.

Having said that, they are currently leading in the derby, thanks to goals from Mo Salah and their new boy Gakpo, thus they are definitely going to win this game and it could kick start their season and they can start winning games more frequently from now going forward.
1694  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Wike not supporting Atiku on: February 13, 2023, 04:12:22 PM
After the PDP presidential primary election wey Atiku win Wike and other candidates, Wike begin para, e they talk say na him they carry PDP for head even when other elder statesmen like Atiku run comot from Naija after the last election, only to return now wey another election don they close, Wike also believe say PDP candidacy suppose come from the south and not the north, so na all these things they vex Wike for where PDP they.

Having said that, Wike they use him head wella for this election, him know say as PDP member wey him be so, him no go fit declare support for a candidate of another party, so him just lockup they run him matter underground, him also no campaign for Atiku, him just sit down for fence they use tactics take sabotage Atiku's bid to be president. From my analysis i no they give Atiku any chance to win this election, the two strong candidates na Peter Obi and Tinubu, and na one of them go win the election, PDP na jonzing party.
1695  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: MetaMask issues scam alert as NameCheap hacker sends unauthorized emails on: February 13, 2023, 03:21:59 PM
Users have always being taught not to click on links anyhow, and if you receive unsolicited messages, either through email or any other means, it is best to avoid it. Once an attacker has access to your seed phrase, your funds are gone, thus they would do everything possible to ensure you type your seed phrase unknowingly in clone sites. I think many people do not know how important their seed phrase is, that is why they easily fall victim to scam, one should only enter their seed phrase if they want to import their funds, that is after they must have double/triple checked that they are in the right place, only after downloading through the official website.

Having said that, it is also good to have multiple email addresses, using throw away addresses for untrusted websites, whilst having special addresses for trusted websites, so you know what to expect/how to react when you see a message in a particular address.
1696  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: in my opinion don't buy crypto at high prices on: February 13, 2023, 02:24:22 PM
Well imo i think a lot depends on the crypto you're buying, if you want to purchase altcoins, then you shouldn't do so when they have just pumped, they are basically pump and dump coins, and you might be buying at a time it is about to dump into oblivion. The best time to buy any coin is when the price is low, but if you are a long term investor you can buy Bitcoin at anytime (high or low), and if you are patient enough, you'd still accrue ROI in the long term. But it is quite risky with altcoins, you could buy an alt when it is high, then it dumps and never rises again, leaving you a bagholder.

So it means no one using it at the moment?
One last question, if you know there is someone using an AI bot --are they able to quote post too? [like what I did?]
Of course users are using it, what i meant by "it doesn't exist in the forum per se" is that the users who use some of these AI bots are real humans who use bots to answer questions and communicate on the forum (and can quote posts too), what they do is that when they want to make a post on the forum, they copy what the discussion/question is about and paste it in the text box in their AI application/website, and whatever response they are given, they basically come back to the forum and paste it here as their own thought on the topic, or use it to start a new topic.

Or it is simply because they are having low-quality posts means they are using AI bots on posting here in the forum.
Low quality posts doesn't denote/connote that the post was written by an AI writing system, individuals can write low quality posts off their own head/knowledge. Out of ones own intuition, they could spot a post that looks like it was written by an AI bot, but it is somewhat difficult to be certain, even with the aid of detectors. The thing is, if you suspect a post was written through that means, report it.

It has been an impressive season for Newcastle United, with Eddie Howe doing a massive job at the magpies and doing everything right to drag nufc into the champions league places in the coming season. With good amount of money spent; Newcastle United supporters are living the dream. Would they get top 4 come the end of the season? time would tell
The good thing for every Newcastle fan right now is that they haven't even spent anything at all, i know they have bought a couple of players since the take over, but the transfer fees were pretty moderate and the players were either decent/average players, now come to think of how well they would do when they actually 'unlock' their big bank and start acquiring quality/world class players; it looks like the years to come would be happy times for Newcastle Football Club.

Having said that, CL qualification for next season is key for them to allure the kind of quality players they need, right now they are on the right path, and if Eddie Howe can achieve this with the team, his name would be enshrined in their history forever. They currently occupy 4th position in the League standings, though having played one game less than Manchester United in 3rd; they are also the team that have lost the fewest times in the League this season (just 1 loss), if they maintain this consistency, they would make it to the CL.

I have been seeing posts saying about the possible Manchester city penalty and reduction of points which may also affect them in the Champions League but I have never seen a post that highlighted the actual offence of Manchester city. Or is their offence not spelt out in black and white?
Of course the offenses are known, i have read quite a lot of articles on the story; the charges against City are over 100, but they can be summarized based on sponsorship deals: the Premier League are charging City for allegedly inflating their revenue, according to the Premier League, most of their revenues were coming from the club owners rather than from the income the club were making through doing business internally. There is also an accusation that City were paying their manager Roberto Mancini more than what they stated he was being paid, remember he was manager of City from 2009-2013, thus the EPL claims that within that time he was earning more (though secretly) than what City have in their payroll books. There are more, but this is like the core of them, you can search online to find out more.
Arsenal should not underrate Brentford because they are in good form and has not lost more matches than Arsenal.
Brentford are in good form, but mind you that they have lost more games than Arsenal, whilst Arsenal have lost just 2 games (the fewest in the league this season after Newcastle), Brentford have lost 4 times, though for a club like them that doesn't really have 'unlimited' funds to spend, it is a great feat. I'm pretty sure Brentford are going to give the Gunners a good run for their money tomorrow.
