Liverpool are losing power, Man City and Arsenal are working hard to win every game. Meanwhile, Sheffield United has been confirmed to be relegated. The top ranking is very exciting, but Liverpool seems to have a problem. I saw Moh Salah arguing or arguing with Kloop when he was about to come on as a substitute against West Ham. Looking at the opportunity, Liverpool still have a chance, but it seems to look very heavy. Only Man City has the best chance because Man City has 1 game less.
Liverpool have already lost the race in my opinion because a team that wants the title so badly wouldn’t lose guard at a very crucial moment after they have managed to keep maintain a good performance from the beginning of the season and disappointed their fans at the end, the way they are playing i also think they have a problem.

Manchester City and Arsenal are the two teams battling hard to win the league and so far both teams are performing well and right now it is very difficult to predict which team will lift the trophy but Manchester City have the best chance to go ahead at the moment because they have an outstanding match to play.

Mbappe agreed a pay cut and he is also willing to join Madrid at the end of the season, but what happens last season in his transfer saga to Madrid is something fans need to be careful about and and they should not put their complete hope on him joining them because he can say no just as he did last season.

There is a good hope of him leaving PSG  at the end of the season and Real Madrid is the only team that can afford him right now and it is his dream team to join.
He is certainly joining Madrid this summer according to an interview, he was asked if he will stay with PSG if they eventually win the champions league but his reply was No he will seek a move out of Madrid. He doesn’t enjoy life at PSG anymore and considering what has happened between him and the coach for substituting him off very early in matches will definitely make him feel bad and will want to leave. Every player wants to be respected and the coach didn’t show him any respect so I can’t blame him if he leaves PSG.

No doubt Mbappe will be easier to get Ballon d'Or, as long as Messi retired, the competition become fair.
Messi is no more in Europe so winning the Ballon Dor will be difficult now especially when there is no any world cup anytime soon. If Mbappe joins Madrid it will be very easy to win the ballon Dor because he is clearly ahead of every player in the world and all he needs is to win major trophies like the Champions League to win the Ballon Dor. Going to Madrid is the best move for him.

Arsenal are really destroying Tottenham in their own home in a derby match. Arsenal dominated the game from the very beginning and they got 3 excellent goals in the first half. I don't know what's wrong with Tottenham, they are not playing anything, the flow is not there. It feels like the team has lost their flow. Had it been that Manchester United and Newcastle were consistent this season, Tottenham would have lost the 5th position they are occupying in the league, because they have been playing rubbish football lately. Aston Villa will be very excited with this Tottenham losing heavily to Arsenal.
Things are going smoothly for Arsenal already and we all didn’t expect it to be this way, I expected Tottenham to perform better and give Arsenal though time especially because Arsenal will be visiting they at home but they are already winning Tottenham 0-3 already in the first half in their own home.

The flow is really not there at all but not sure if they lost it though i just feel they approached this match wrongly and they are being punished for the mistakes. They could redeem themselves in the second and try to equalize even it will be difficult but it is not impossible. Tottenham have the chance to close the gap on Aston Villa after they draw against Chelsea yesterday but they seem to have wasted the opportunity.

I think we should be careful before deciding to bet on Inter Milan. Because I think a club that has secured the championship title will be more difficult for us to predict. Because we don't know whether they will play with the strongest squad or they will play the second tier. overall. And maybe there will also be some strategy trials carried out by Inzaghi.
I don’t think Inter Milan will disappoint especially for the fact that they have been eliminated in the champions league so they will channel all their focus on the league even when they are miles ahead. Predicting their result is easy because they are in top form and we all know they have been winning so betting on them to win is likely to happen. I know when a team has won the title they get so relaxed and start to drop points but i don’t think it’s going to be the case with Inter Milan. 

The Juventus vs Milan match ended in a draw. And I am quite disappointed with Juventus who have not returned to their true form. Juventus at the start of the season was much better than now. Even though we are at the end of the season. And all strengths should be maximized at the end of the season which will determine the actual results.
Juventus was clearly the better side in the game, they had more chances and created more goal scoring chances than Milan but they were just unlucky to score. Winning would have reduced the point difference between them and more pressure would’ve been on AC Milan as any point they drop in the future could cost them the second position they currently stand.
185  Economy / Economics / Re: Why does a country borrow money from the world bank even when they can afford it on: April 28, 2024, 11:29:12 AM
if you already have enough money for the development of a country in the current fiscal year but still borrow to the world bank. it means that the country's leaders are stupid. because borrowing at the world bank there are conditions that must be fulfilled which are detrimental to a small country and very beneficial to a large country. besides that it also has high interest in its payments.
Exactly what i thought too, why borrow money when you have enough to handle the affairs of the country. Most countries that borrows money are actually short of finances to meet up the country’s budget and the only was is to borrow money and it is just as the principle of individuals borrowing money from the bank, you will have to meet certain requirements to qualify for a loan and certain things are being considered before issuing a loan to a country in need like the GDP of the country and other factors as well. The interest rate will definitely be high making it difficult for smaller countries or under developed countries to meet the demands of the loan.

My country people una good morning, I done sit down see everything wey dey happen for this country, no jobs, bad economic decisions,bad governance I come get to observe some people too, as some they complain of how country hard, some persons they enjoy their lives, they cash out majorly, I come understand say people wey dey complain about the situation of the country they rely on government, while people wey dey cash out they Self employed, through technical and digital skills, 
Everything about this country seems to be going wrong and affecting the entire country and people living in it. I don’t think it affects only those depending on the government or those who work for the government, the entire nation is suffering it both those who are self employed and those who work for the government. Say for example, when the dollar rate increases it affected the prices of commodities and everyone consumes those commodities so that way it affects everyone be it self employed or government employees. We all cried and complained about the inflation rate when price of things rose very high and uptil now we still complain because the prices didn’t decrease much despite the dollar rate dropping massively.

Bayern Leverkusen are back at it again doing what they know how to do best always equalizing at stoppage time as if they are using Magic. Most people will call it luck but I don’t think they will keep being lucky everytime. They have won the league already but i still want them to end the season unbeaten that’s why i was so scared they’d lose today.

Going 2 goals down seems to be nothing to them and it seems like they are doing it on purpose but somehow they are able to keep their unbeaten record alive.
188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 27, 2024, 12:48:04 PM
Trying to bet on Liverpool now is like trying to trade in a highly volatile market, you never know what will happen in the next minute. For some reason, Liverpool's decline began precisely at the most crucial moment at the end of the season, when it is especially important to win all the remaining matches. Klopp’s situation is difficult, in addition to needing to win all the remaining matches, they also need to hope that City and Arsenal start losing points, which I very much doubt.
LMAO…. Trading in a highly volatile market would be less risky than betting on Liverpool at the moment seriously because they let me down a couple of times and i was disappointed in them. One day They were leading the title race and all of a sudden they started to drop points and now they are almost out of the race.

I don’t know what is wrong with them but i think they are having a little bit crisis in the dressing room and it has affected their performance and they need to sort it out fast if they want to keep their title hopes alive.

They are already a goal down against West Ham and i am certain that they are not playing well that is why, i couldn’t get myself to watch the game but i know they are not so good that’s why they are a goal already. When i checked the livescore i was surprised seeing the squad Kloop is using against West Ham, why would he keep Konate, Salah and Sabozlai all on the bench? I don’t think it is right thing to do even though they are all in poor form. He might have his reasons but if they lose the game in the second half then it is on the coach.

Arda Güler eventually came into the first 11 and scored the goal. Receiving the ball after the defense's mistake at the back post, Arda sent the ball into the net with a neat single shot. Carvajal's assist was nice, but if the defense had not made a mistake, there would have been no goal.
Now Real Sociedad has increased the pressure even more. They look like they're going to score. Real Madrid cannot continue like this any longer. I think Real Madrid will lose points in this match.
Madrid was able to win thanks to Arda Guller’s only goal that earned them all 3 points. There was a lot of pressure on Real Madrid but they were able to withstand the pressure with the help of the goalkeeper that made couple of saves in the game.

Real Sociedad played very well in the game, they gave all the best they could but i guess tonight was not their lucky night, no doubt Madrid will win the trophy again this time around. I think Madrid struggled because they selected their second line up so they can have more playing time and they still latter ended up winning the game.
190  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are more people getting excited about memecoins? on: April 26, 2024, 06:02:10 PM
Meme coins in general gives more profit on short term investments than Bitcoin itself, but the risk involved in their investment is very big.
Anything that gives high profits in a short term will definitely carry more risk and that’s the more reason why bitcoin is portrayed to be the best investment because it’s risk is minimal and you will certainly profit from  it when you are patient. Meme coins seem to be the new trend and it’s making profits for people that’s why people are drawn to it at the moment but we all know they won’t last long and a new trend will take over from them that’s why bitcoin is the best ever.

Generally, there is too much stress involved in altcoin or meme coins investment which include doing deep research about a project before investing in it, and you also need to take a big risk to invest early so that you can benefit from the project’s first pump; meanwhile, the early investment is very risky since the project might die and you will lose all your money.
Any investment other than bitcoin be it alt coins or  meme coins are very risky and difficult to get a legitimate project that why it is very important to carry out research on them to identify legit coins. When these coins are well established the profit that can be made from it becomes less so investing early is the most wise thing to do to be able to make profit early but investing early is very risky because when the project fails you lose your money.

If Barcelona has started to improve its economic condition and all the problems in Barcelona have been resolved, then next season Barcelona will perform at full strength. Next season is the right time to win and become La Liga champions next season. For La Liga this season, it seems like Barcelona is having difficulty catching first place. We just need to wait for the new season to start soon.
I agree with you to some extent because if Barcelona is able to challenge Real Madrid despite having financial difficulties making it difficult for them to sign players then i think the coach needs to appreciated for being able to manage the resources available and still challenge.

If Barcelona should improve their financial situation that doesn’t guarantee winning the La Liga and the fact that Real Madrid will be signing Mbappe will make it more difficult for Barca to beat Madrid squad in just a year, they will have build a team gradually and will take a few years to achieve that.

If Barcelona's financial condition improves it will be bad news for Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid who are trying to continue to beat their arch rivals for years and Real Madrid will feel quite a lot of pressure because Barcelona will return to being with a composition of players that is even greater if Barcelona can recruit players
Building a team will take time to beat Real Madrid squad because they have quite a number of young talents and they seem to have all positions available and the only positions left are number 9, 2 and 3 and i think they already have it all sorted out. They will be bringing in Mbappe and Alphonso Davies to occupy number 9 and 3 then they lining up offer to sign Chelsea’s Reece James this summer and if all this transfers happen then i think Madrid will be unstoppable and it will be difficult for Barca to easily outperform them.

I think history will repeat itself this time, as it did last season when Man City were able to push Arsenal out of first place... Now City have a game in hand and I havno doubt that after the next match with Nottingham City will be first in the standings... It will be interesting to see who will become champions, but I don't think it will be Arsenal...
I feel if Guardiola still manages Manchester City the same thing will keep repeating itself because I don’t see Arteta beating him to win the league, all he can achieve is second place. It happened last season and it is about to happen again because Guadiola is a coach that doesn’t take opportunities for granted and wouldn’t miss any opportunity. Manchester City has an outstanding match and if they win it they be ahead of Arsenal and will be leading the race and i am sure they wouldn’t mess around. Arsenal still has stronger fixtures than Manchester City which means it will be more difficult for them.
193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 25, 2024, 11:21:57 PM
At least, Bayern Munich must fight even harder, especially in the Bundesliga. Because his position is also very risky, Stuttgart could suddenly take over this second position. Because it's not that good. And Stuttgart this time is also very on fire to beat Bayern Munich. especially this fixture.
I don’t think there is anything left for Bayern Munich to fight for since there is no hope of winning the title. The 2nd place and 3rd place have no difference to mesincee they are both not winning the league and they will both participate in the Champions League and there is no any special achievement for any team for 2nd place or 3rd place. Actually it will look bad seeing Bayern Munich end at 3rd position so fighting for to maintain their position is not a bad idea. They have been performing poorly and i think it is down to Tuchel who have mis managed the team else they would have won at least a trophy this season.

The game between Bayern Leverkusen and Stuttgart will be an interesting one because both teams are not playing bad and if Stuttgart wins they will stand a chance to occupy the second place again.

PSG in the group phase match has proven to be able to beat Dortmund even though this semifinal match will be different, but PSG has much higher confidence in what happens in the group phase.
In terms of quality, PSG and Dortmund are not much different and if there is a favorite for PSG to qualify for the final round, I think that is very realistic.
Dortmund is a very stubborn team to face and they are not an easy team to beat at all even though PSG have a stronger squad it can be difficult for them to beat Dortmund. PSG looks more confident with Mbappe and Dembele but it is no guarantee that they will win just that they have a higher chance of winning.

In terms of quality PSG has more quality players but they need to perform well if they want to make it to the finals. I’d like to see Mbappe win the Champions League trophy for PSG before leaving.

Well about the phrase "they  are the european best 4 teams" i have to say something , is ""true"" but everyone knows for example Macnhester City is way better than Dortmund, but they dont are here because they lose against Real Madrid, and Dortmund was more lucky in his draws.

So in fact they are not always the best 4 teams, also Bayern Munich is quite bad this season.
I don’t think qualifying for the Champions League semi final make them the best 4 teams in Europe because some teams get lucky and pass through a less difficult route and that way they face lesser opponents and progress to the finals while others are not so lucky. See an example, Manchester City were drawn with Madrid and got eliminated not because they are not good but because a team must lose.

You have been doing a good work for the board and the forum at large and we all appreciate the little things you have done andd how you have been trying to fight spam in the board.

When there was no too many spam posts i was quite active in the local board and things was a bit more interesting but then suddenly the rate of spam increased and i got a bit more discouraged to communicate here although i always visit the board and read some interesting topics i am able to find. I have always wanted a moderator for this local board so as to reduce the level of spam and i hope Igebotz get approved to become a moderator for the board because he has proven to us that he is capable and he cares about the success of the board.

Liverpool lost again tonight. It seems Liverpool doesn't want to be champions.
Arsenal will now wait for Manchester City to drop points, I hope they do.
Things are going well for Arsenal right now, but they should definitely not lose points. If they lose points, M.City will be champions again.
It really seems like Liverpool doesn’t want to be champions because the way they are playing and losing doesn’t look as if they want to win anymore. Liverpool have been dropping too many points recently which is very bad for a team challenging for the title, their performance have dropped massively and i never expected them to lose to Everton a team that got trashed by Chelsea 6-0 despite Chelsea not being consistent with their performance. Everyone seems to be available for Liverpool so i don’t see why they'd be performing badly, Salah m, Nunez and Luiz Diaz were all available and i expected more from them.

I don’t think Manchester City will want to drop points knowing fully well how those points are important to them, they have a match today and still have an outstanding game to play and they are just 4 points behind with two games to play. The league is still very tight and we are still unsure who will end up winning the league this season.
198  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: April 23, 2024, 11:20:18 PM
There is no doubt that Xavi will succeed at Bayern, I don't like this idea, because Bayern feels like a comfort zone for a good manager to gain success. Xavi has faced a big challenge at Barca, he succeeded to win a league trophy while they have big financial problem. I think he needs a bigger challenge to fulfill his tactical idea in a more competitive league for a big club.

There are some options for Xavi like Chelsea, Milan or Liverpool. Premier League and Serie A seem to be more competitive with some teams can be the title contender, unlike La Liga and Bundesliga. I think many football fans want to see how Xavi will progress his managerial career, because, as a player, he was an intelligent players who had vision to read the game very well. People are expecting his tactics ability to fulfill in a more challenging league.
Xavi is not a bad coach at all i don’t know why Barca fans are criticizing him after every single loss but i think he is not a bad coach, he has won a league title for them and this season he was able to move the team to second place despite having a rough start this season so it shows he has something to offer even when his team has no money to buy him players. No one is perfect so mistakes are bound to happen.

I think Xavi is the perfect coach for Bayern because Bayern is a team that doesn’t require much effort as a team since they are the best in the league and all you have to do is just put in the right players and they will deliver. I feel he should go to the German league since the competition is high in the premier league but if he wants challenge then he should join the premier league.

Chelsea conceded 4 additional goals in the second half, it made them really fall. Arsenal performed great throughout the second half and they almost scored 5 goals in the second half, but so far they haven't had much luck. Obviously Chelsea performed worse than I expected, but this is the most difficult thing for Pochettino to improve this season.
It was a disappointing performance from Chelsea because everyone had hopes for them to challenge Arsenal and make them lose points but Chelsea was trash today.  I didn’t have chance to watch but with the highlights i saw i was disappointed that they conceded 4 goals in the second half.

I don't know how Pochettino will be kept for another season? Will he be given the opportunity to buy a lot of players again but this is a difficult thing to do if Pochettino does not have a good strategy, so far what I think Pochettino has failed to handle Chelsea he is not the right coach.
I don’t see any reason for Pochettino to be kept next season because i have not seen any impact or improvement from the team since the start of the season, it seems like he is not really teaching them anything because aa coach that has something to offer must have shown a difference but even with alot of players bought he still has nothing to show and still want them to sign new players. Even if they sign Ronaldo and Mbappe i don’t think Pochettino can make any difference with this team. We have seen Tottenham coach come in transform the team and from the playing style you will see the work he is putting in.

I am a temporary Chelsea fan tonight as they face Arsenal. Should be a tough game for Arsenal, I think Man City found it difficult against Chelsea in the FA Cup Semi Final.

So for one night only, come on Chelsea.
Was a tough game for Manchester City and they were lucky to win in my opinion, if only Chelsea was able to convert all their chances it would have been a different case entirely but the loss was all on Nickolas Jackson, if he had converted all the chances he had Chelsea would have been 2-3 goals up in the game and they would have won the tie.

I am also a Chelsea fan tonight and forever but with their poor conversion rate i don’t think they stand a chance in this game even though they are very good at playing stronger teams but i hope they win this match because i don’t want to see Arsenal win this title at all.

Well, Arsenal is good and willing to win all their remaining matches if possible. Chelsea has been good this days as they have some impressive performances in their last five matches even though there is no complete consistency.

I am also seeing this to be tough match for Arsenal because Chelsea knows how to play big teams, and if we remember, they almost win Arsenal in the first leg which ended in a draw, therefore, I am thinking it will be a draw match or a late win for Arsenal.
A draw will not be in Favor of Arsenal because they need maximum points desperately if they want to stand a chance to challenge for the title because they are already few points short and securing all three points will be the best thing for them.

Chelsea lack consistency but they normally perform well in such kind of games so it won’t be easy for Arsenal to win and i also think a draw will be the outcome of this match just as u said.
