Arsenal passed their test against Manchester city although many people say Manchester were without key players like Rodry and Kevin but Arsenal themselves where without Saka and Martinelli was just coming back from injury so they definitely had to work hard for what they got.

Now Arsenal faces Chelsea who also has been coming back in form, I don't think it would be easy for Arsenal because Chelsea has now woken up and I think they have been playing well lately. Although if I was to bet on this my money would be on Arsenal.

What is certain is that Arsenal have proven this season that they can beat Manchester City and at the same time break the dominance that City usually always wins. Even though De Buryne and Rondry were absent from the match, City actually have decent player options to replace them. because after all, City's second tier players are no less good than Pep Guardiola's core squad. On the Arsenal side, as you said, they are also not in ideal team condition. Saka was injured, Martinelli had just recovered from his injury and Torssard had problems and was finally replaced by Martinelli.
Ideally, City can prevent this match from ending in a draw when they are having difficulty breaking into Arsenal's goal. However, Arsenal's hard work paid off even though they were only able to score one goal. However, the point remains that Arsenal got full points and moved up to second place in the standings.

Now, Arsenal will play against Chelsea in the London derby at Stamford Bridge.
IMO, ideally, this match should be easily handled by the Gunners' young squad. referring to the H2H meeting between the two teams, last season Chelsea lost both home and away matches. It's just that Arsenal will play another crucial match in the Champions League group phase. could be a burden for Mikel Arteta's squad. The reason is, Arsenal is not in a safe position to advance to the next phase. I can confirm that several of Arsenal's core players will not play the full 90 minutes.
So like it or not, the Gunners have to excel faster, so that several other core players can be withdrawn to restore their stamina and fitness. However, it seems that this will not be easy for Arsenal who are playing at home to Chelsea. At least, Poche wants to maintain or improve the performance of his squad after winning three matches in various competitions. and maybe this match will be a tough match, but we'll see. In particular, I want to confirm the composition of the players from both teams. After that, I will try to research and analyze the match between the two teams.

According to reports,Arsenal are looking at the possibility of signing a striker in the January transfer window,and they are seriously looking at  Brendfort goal machine,Ivan Toney who was placed on a six months match ban from football for gambling addiction.It is said that the striker may be interested in making a move to Emirate stadium if they should knock on his door.
When I heard this rumour,I felt it was just a joke,but it's now confirmed that there is serious interest from both parties to strike a deal,but I wonder what Arsenal will be doing with three strikers.In all these rumours,I seriously feel for Nketiah,because he might end up being the one not to see playing time again.

Honestly, I just heard this rumor from what you posted. But to be honest, what we hope for as Gunners supporters is that Arsenal has a pure striker who can be relied on in terms of scoring goals. at least, a pure sticker who can score 20 goals in one season. As for Ivan Toney, for the achievements he achieved by scoring goals last season, he met my expectations as a fan.
However, if we refer to Arsenal's philosophy, it seems that Edu and Arteta will look for players who are younger but have character and can be relied on in the front lines of their squad. However, if the rumors or gossip are true, at least Ivan Toney can be more reliable than Nketiah.

Honestly, I don't want to say Nketiah is a talentless striker. It's just that, he hasn't reached a high level as a pure striker. with this option, and if this is true, at least Arsenal has the option of several strikers who have different characteristics. There would be nothing wrong if the Gunners brought Ivan Toney to the Emirates Stadium. He can be played according to the team's needs, plus Arteta doesn't need to worry if Gabriel Jesus gets injured again.
Moreover, referring to what you said, in the January transfer window. The sooner the better. Unfortunately, you did not include a reference to the source you got. at least, you mention one of the newspapers that reported it. So, I can't assume if this rumor or news is true.

I think Arsenal are not doing very well in the Champions League. Because in the last match who lost very badly to Lens. Arsenal's next match is probably against Sevilla, it will be a very competitive match and I think Sevilla will do well. So the Arsenal team has to find some new tactics to play that match.

Actually, the Gunners played quite well in the Champions League. Unfortunately, when they played Lens on the second matchday of the group phase, it did not meet the expectations of the Gunners fans. In that match, Saka suffered an injury in the 34th minute, which ultimately led to Arteta having to make a substitution. unfortunately, he instead replaced him with Fabio Viera. but before that, Arsenal took the lead in the 14th minute. As for the goal scored by Lens in the 25th minute, it was purely the fault of goalkeeper David Raya who made the wrong long pass which was blocked by the Lens players and put to good use to equalize the goal.

Too busy attacking, Lens was able to take advantage of it to increase their advantage. Unfortunately, Arsenal's defenders didn't guard tightly and gave Elye Wahi free space. and finally, Lens was able to turn things around. Instead of equalizing, Arteta replaced his players more. remember, they have a crucial match against City in the Premier League. in the end, Arsenal lost to Lens. even though based on tactics and statistics, Arsenal is much better than Lens. In fact, they tend to control the game with 67% ball possession, 6 shots on target, 2 big opportunities.
After the defeat to Lens, Arsenal looked confident at home to Manchester City and they deserved their victory. Furthermore, in the second leg meeting against Lens at the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners will not give Lens the opportunity to act like they did in the match at their headquarters. But before that match, Arsenal must beat Sevilla first, both home and away. and the Gunners, have a chance for that.
1984  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling on: October 20, 2023, 02:05:19 PM
I have often wondered about the people who have lost a lot in gambling and who almost loose in every gambling activity they participate. What is their reason or motivation to continue even after so many losses?

The answer depends relatively on each individual, how you play and how you treat gambling itself. let's review it from a gambling perspective. In the gambling game system, not every time we play we will immediately lose. second, what type of game you play. If you play roulette, baccarat, blackjack, one shot with all the money you have, the risk is that you can lose money in just one game. However, the actual scenario is not that simple.

Let's try to discuss other games, for example slot games. In slot games, you are free to bet according to the bet you want. However, in each game session, it will not always be the same when you play. There are times when the game doesn't go as we expected, or the game has a long round, but doesn't drain your balance too much. Not infrequently, after playing for a while, you get a good hit from the free spins you get and get a big or decent profit. Well, if you continue playing for an undetermined period of time, then the probability of losing is very high. Usually, gamblers who play for a long period of time will eventually run out. Likewise with sports betting, you bet on one of the teams, then you win. However, you do not intend to stop the gambling session you are doing.

Well, from some of the examples I mentioned in this post, it could be the answer to your question.
The point is, in gambling there are wins and losses. when you win, you can end it. But if not, you risk losing the winnings you get. Plus, the capital you spend also has the potential to be lost. and this is why, someone tends to always experience defeat rather than victory. even though in reality, the scenario is not what you think or say. The problem is, when you win, you don't want to stop the gambling session. which ends up being like the title of this thread.
1985  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: October 20, 2023, 01:26:00 PM
Le Havre vs Lens

This season indeed Lens has starting the league with poor performance this because in the first 5 matches Lens was collect 4 loses which make their position at relegation zone at that time but recently Lens has been able to bounce back and since they got draw result against Sevilla on champion league Lens was unbeatable until today and one of good result is when they can beat Arsenal with scores 2-1 and this result is very impressive because Arsenal is the strong team on champion league

The condition to Lens opponent Le Havre doesn't really good because from 2 latest matches Le Havre has been lose with conceded 5 goals so this could be utilized to Lens to resumes their winning streak and about team conditions i can see there was no important players who got injured or suspension so both teams can play with all of their key players and recent performance has been showing Lens has good chances to win the match and the bookmakers provide good odds for Lens @1.80

Lens never losses from the last three games. The club is always trying to improve its performance even better. Lens does have capability to beat le havre even though its opponent placed above them. Lens's odd is quite good at this moment. I think that lens will bounce back again starting from this moment. Lens vs havre is quite hard to predict but i would prefer to havre. It was offering really nice odds. I don't even need to risk my money by taking asian handicap.
Probably 1x2 lens fc or btts. one of these things are my choice for the match between havre vs lens very soon. Im very optimistic to see lens will able to show better performance compared with the previous match.

Recently, Lens' performance has changed, although it is not stable. however, in their last five matches in various competitions, Lens have not lost once. although, two of the matches ended in a draw. at least, now Lens is a little safer from the relegation zone which is ranked 14th on the standings. In this match, Lens will visit Le Havre's headquarters in the opening week of Ligue 1 after the international break. In this match, Franck Haise's squad needs a win to continue their unbeaten record in the 5 matches they have played in this league competition. Plus, by winning this match, Lens will move up the rankings to a safer zone. Apart from that, a win will be needed to motivate when Lens host PSV on the third matchday of the Champions League group phase. Like it or not, Lens has to do his job well, especially in the Champions League group stage matches.

Unfortunately, this match will not be easy for Lens even though Le Havre is a promoted team this season. the reason is, if we refer to the statistics of these two teams, there are not many significant differences. The difference is, Lens is starting to get back on track. Meanwhile, Le Havre experienced defeat in their last two matches. It looks like Lens will go all out in this match to get full points with an offensive game pattern. Meanwhile, the home team will play with a defensive system. So, this match will be quite tough. My guess is, the match will end in a draw. However, to be safe in betting, the Under 2.5 goals option with odds of 1.73 is the ideal choice for me.
1986  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 20, 2023, 10:51:10 AM


The international break is over and we can finally get back to the much anticipated league games. As the opening match of the Bundesliga this week, Dortmund will face Werder Bremen and of course we all know who will win this match. If you look at the statistics of the two teams, it is clear that Dortmund is better and Werder has slumped so far by being at the bottom of the table. Seeing the chance of victory for Dortmund is very convincing with betting odds @1.32 and Werder Bremen is very far away with odds @8.00

I think this will be a match that Dortmund must win and they are unlikely to win with a narrow score. Dortmund must continue to be consistent to maintain their chances of remaining in the top 4 this week. So I will bet a handicap of -1.25 with odds @1.60 for Dortmund to win.

Finally, we will start watching league competition again after the international break has ended. and the opening Bundesliga match is between Dortmund vs Bremen which will be held in the early hours of the morning in my country. Referring to this match, it seems that Dortmund is more favored by bookies. and if I examine the statistics from Dortmund data, it seems that Terzic is now starting to be confident in patenting his system pattern.
based on several matches that I referred to, Terzic now uses a 4-2-3-1 pattern, playing Fullkrug as a single striker. and in this match, there seems to be no change in the line-up as in previous matches.

Instead, Bremen will meet their former striker, namely Niclas Fullkrug. Regarding the predicted line-up that Ole Werner will implement, it seems that the coach is trying to find the ideal pattern with the system he applies to his squad. considering that of the 7 matches they played, they only won 2 matches and lost the other 5 matches. Moreover, Bremen has never won when they visited their opposing team's headquarters. So it's only natural that Dortmund is the favorite. especially if we refer to the H2H meetings between these two teams, of the 5 meetings, Bremen only won once and the rest were defeats.
My estimate is that in this match, Dotmund will win the match over the opposing team in this morning's battle. Terzic will target full points to bring his team's squad to strengthen their position on the Bundesliga standings. Plus, this victory is important to give Dortmund greater motivation when they play the away match against Newcastle in the Champions League group phase.

Well, it seems ideal with the betting option you choose.  and the scenario, if Dortmund only scores 1 goal, you will not lose all the money you bet. referring to the Under/Over option, it seems there will be a lot of goals here. minimum, there are 3 goals. It could be that the match will end with a score of 2-1. The problem is, Bremen always scores goals in every match. So, to win this bet, Dortmund must score at least 2 goals without reply. or, 3-1. For me, the Over option is more ideal with over 3.5 goals with odds @1.77. or, -1.5 handicap option with odds @1.77. Well, to be sure, let's wait for this match to be held and my estimate is that the final result will be 3-1.
1987  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I think gambling is inbuilt, kids don't learn it anywhere, they do it! on: October 20, 2023, 09:16:27 AM
The Australian Government once said about abolishing gambling ads as a means of reducing gambling activities amongst underage people. But, I think they'll be no successful way of stopping young people from gambling. As it's in them. Most articles here also say things like gambling addiction being hereditary. That means gambling can be hereditary as well. Because I just watched from a distant two kids below 10 years, staking bets, after a long argument about who the artiste of a specific song is. They later staked close to 40 cents each, for the person who gets the answer right. Then they went ahead to verify. And I lost sight of them. I thought about, how come or who thought these kids about betting money during a long argument. I was able to memorize, back when I was a kid. We easily said, how much would you bet if it turns out I'm saying the truth; during an argument. It made me understand that, despite during those days we had no phones or access to the internet, gambling is somehow embedded to the brain of humans. Then, as a child, we weren't exposed to gambling. I could only remember of lotto, as a kid. But we still said things like "let's bet it"

OK, I really understand what you are saying in this thread, there are several points that are interesting to me. So, let's flashback to when I was a child or teenager. When I was little, we didn't have cell phones, sophisticated games, or anything like that. However, there are many traditional games that we can play. either as a group, or one to one. In every game, we usually bet something. something is random, we can bet on the toys we have, or the loser will be punished. can run a few kilometers, or so on. When I was a teenager, I liked football. we seem to play just for entertainment, have fun with it, and spend a lot of time with our peers.

However, there are times when we will compete with other groups, other villages, or other schools, usually if there is an invitation to a match, it will always involve betting.  because at that time we were starting to grow up, money was a medium for betting.  at this point, no one taught us betting or gambling terms. but we did that, to increase our enthusiasm and excitement for playing and at the same time show that the team we have is great. In short, when I was little, cellphones weren't even available yet, by the time I was a teenager, cellphones and the internet were a luxury. In fact, even if there is a casino, to visit it we have to go miles away. 

This thread reminds me of the past. plus, and also want to clarify the first point you said in this thread. It's true, gambling has been around since we were little. taught or not, gradually we will know or get involved in simple betting and can reach the stage of playing in the casino. It's just that, I want to say a little from the first point you said. imagine, if the government just left it like that, without eliminating advertising, education, etc., what would happen next. However, even though such regulations have been implemented, they are still unable to stop it. At this point, I just want to clarify, the duty of the state as carried out by the Australian government, at least, is that they are trying to do their best to prevent children from being exposed to gambling at an early age.
although if we refer to my case or most people, without having to be taught we are used to such things.
1988  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: October 19, 2023, 09:19:59 PM
I want to pose a question that I believe is quite expensive for many of us here, and it's a dilemma most of us can relate to. We all know that gambling is a game where we put our luck to the test. However, there's a crucial moment in every gambler's journey. the moment when you hit that big win. Do you cash out and savor your victory, or do you continue playing in hopes of even bigger winnings?

I've often wondered how many of us can truly stop playing when we are ahead. It's a challenge because the allure of winning more can be irresistible. I've witnessed situations where a friend deposited money into a casino, faced losses, and just when he was on the brink of frustration, he struck a significant win. Did he stop playing? No, he left his winnings in the casino, only to lose it all again.
So, I ask you all, what would you do when you finally make that big win? Would you cash out immediately to enjoy your winnings, or would you keep playing in the hopes of an even more substantial prize? Shocked

Interesting question, and the answer is subjective. what you say in this thread, is an experience for many gamblers. Not infrequently, we often face situations like this. especially, if we remember the losses of previous betting sessions. The strong urge and desire to continue the gaming session will always be the attraction of the name gambling. personally, I have experienced this situation many times. but in the case of casino games, whether it's Baccarat, Dice, Blackjack or even the more popular slot games that most gamblers often play today. In a phase like this, we often get carried away when the game is in our favor. blow after big blow kept coming. It's as if our logic thinks that this time we will get a big win. it could also be, the game will still provide a bigger hit in the next round. In situations like this, sometimes we don't realize it. only after little by little did the game start to not provide anything interesting anymore. There are two choices that gamblers can make, stop or continue. The answer depends relatively on each individual and our condition after the gambling side.

IMO, I'm sure, we don't always do the same thing. There are times when we will leave the game and withdraw the winnings. but not infrequently, our impulses are strong and our thoughts are influenced by high desires. in the end, the game continues. But wait a minute, not all bets that are continued will end in defeat. There are certain moments when luck is really on our side. Finally, when we feel that we have had enough winnings, we end the gambling session. Well, referring to your question, as I said at the beginning. The answer is very relative, it all depends on the conditions, situation and how we respond to it at that stage. because, I am sure, as gamblers we have many stories and experiences. whether it's the defeat or the victory we get. well, at least not infrequently, I often make direct withdrawals for the winnings I get. instead, many times I tried to continue to bet on our lead, ultimately ending up losing it all. and this is gambling, every risk is our own responsibility.
1989  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Relying on gamble wins is dangerous to mental health on: October 19, 2023, 08:43:15 PM
I met a friend who used about $1 to play gamble to win about $2500 in a game of different matches, all the early games went well but the last game cut which made him loose the game.  This lose made him to be sick for 3 days, the reason for his reaction was not because of the money he used to bet but he felt so bad because he has already put all his hope on the money he would have won.

People needs not to put all their hope in games they are not sure of winning, because relying on it can be very dangerous to the mental health. Play gamble and remove your mind from the money that will be gained till it is achieved.

Ah, a hope that has a very slim probability.
BTW, I don't know what gambling your friends are playing. However, it seems that this type of exercise is the most ideal. and that too with various options for each betting session. It is important for most gamblers to understand, with only $1 capital, someone hopes or targets a win of $2500, which is the same as impossible.
imagine, how long we have to do each gambling session. how do we achieve what we target, then what skills that person has. Is he someone who is an expert in this field, a kind of pundit in football? Even so, every time a football pundit predicts a match, the results are not always consistent and according to his analysis. For us amateurs, we have limited knowledge regarding sports betting. It would be beyond our expectations if we applied the same pattern as your friend did. even if anyone can do it, he is a lucky person and nothing more.

Referring to the title of your thread, actually there is nothing wrong with that. but what is wrong is what your friend did.
For me personally, winning a bet with odds of one to one of the winning result is more than enough. especially, if someone expects something that is difficult to do. Except, if your friend wants to experiment with how much he can turn $1 into $2500. Apart from requiring skill, instinct in every bet, it will also involve luck. The point is, there is nothing wrong if someone relies on winnings from gambling. but with conditions, according to capital and betting rationally.

This is a bad news for "Al Hilal", Neymar has suffered serious injury again. Even, in that match Brazil was defeated by Uruguay, Vini, Rodrygo, Gabriel Jesus could not scored at least one score. Of course, with Neymar injury Al Hilal will suffer huge losses. As you said, Neymar's injury has an impact on his current club, apart from the large salary, they also lost one player in attack line. But the next few of matches are not too difficult for them, only the match against Al Ahli will probably be their biggest difficulty game this month.

That's for sure, Al Ahli bringing in Neymar is not just after the popularity they will get. However, his skill when handling the ball will be really needed by this team. His stability in the game and experience will really help Al Hilal win the trophy this season by beating other competitors who are also strengthened by former top European players. Even though he is 31 years old, he is still able to play great with Al Hilal. In fact, he can really get past one or two players. but because that is the problem, he often always tries to dribble the ball and tries to break through his opponent's defense line  which in the end, he will always be the target of the opposing team's back line players. Suppose Neymar doesn't play at PSG, but in the Premier League. Maybe his career in football won't last this long with the frequent injuries he experiences.
in the Brazil vs Uruguay match, to be honest I didn't watch it. So, I don't know how the two national team squads played the match. 

Well, we're back to Al Hilal. With Neymar's absence, there will automatically be changes to the system that was previously scripted by Jorge Jesus. Fortunately, Al Hilal still had a strong squad before Neymar joined Al Hilal. So, I remain confident that they will continue with their positive trend, including against Al-Ahli on the 28th of this month. Why am I optimistic, because it's not without reason. Al Hilal has Mitrovic who can be relied on as a center forward. Malcom, is a player who can play in various positions. In fact, he is also sharp when it comes to scoring goals. No different from local Saudi players, Al-Dawsari also has the same sharpness as other players.  One more thing, Michael is also a player who contributes quite well when assisting attacks or creating goals. Well, I think Al Hilal still has a strong squad even though Neymar is missing due to injury. and hopefully, he doesn't experience serious problems.

PSG declined in form, at first I was in position of doubting their inconsistency results in games, but my eyes and beliefs was cleared when an English team, Newcastle United thrashed Les Parisiens 4-1 which happens to be one of their humiliating defeats this season. The club have everything necessary and put in place, what baffled everyone is how come they still declined in performance, something is wrong somewhere. The coach, Luis Enrique have done his best though is totally understandable that he's in his first season and facing difficulties in winning games. Ligue One might turned to be a different race for PSG if they don't do the needful actions expected.

I've said it in many posts on this thread. we can even refer to every match they play, as well as the data and statistics. For me personally, PSG is not experiencing a decline. but they are trying to build an ideal team, Enrique is trying to create a strong foundation for PSG with his style and characteristics. I am very sure, Enrique knows what he has to do with his squad. After all, in every match they played, PSG played quite well. in fact, we can refer to the statistics. unfortunately, they struggle to create every chance and chance they have. The two new strikers who were expected to perform optimally, have not been able to unleash the talent and potential they have. In the end, PSG was hampered in terms of scoring goals. Automatically, Enrique once again hopes for Mbappe, their star. However, if Assensio is not injured, Enrique does not need to tinker with his patterns and systems. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury and in the end Enrique only had two options. playing Goncalo Ramos, or Randal Kolo Miani as a center forward. Unfortunately, again these two players have not been able to unleash their talent and potential. In fact, PSG played quite well with the system implemented by Enrique. In almost every match they play, PSG always controls ball possession.

Well, IMO, Les Parisiens' defeat against Newcastle was purely Enrique's mistake in implementing his lineup and strategy patterns. Let's review a little, at that time Enrique applied a 4-2-3-1 pattern. Goncalo as the sole striker, Randal and Dembele on the wings, Mbeppe behind Goncalo Ramos. At that time, I didn't know what Enrique was thinking. even though if he rotated it correctly, PSG would not have been embarrassed in that match. Even if Enrique enforces his system pattern during this match, ideally Mbeppe and Dembele will still play in their original positions. Randal is the sole attacker and Goncalo is behind Randal Kolo Muani. Apart from that, the two pivots that Enrique played did not work ideally. He should have played Vitinha as the main starter. in defense, they made many mistakes. In the end, Newcastle easily overthrew PSG. Even though when Newcastle played Milan, they had difficulty creating opportunities. well, what I said is based on my point of view. Next, I believe Enrique can make his squad much better. at least, in Ligue 1 competition.
1992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 19, 2023, 06:35:47 PM
Chelsea current situation puts pressure on them to immediately get someone who is very reliable like Osimhen, even though whatever the price, Chelsea will definitely buy him immediately because the pressure of poor performance requires Chelsea to immediately move quickly to get new, more qualified players and the only other question is whether Osimhen wants to join Chelsea? meanwhile, Osimhen always chooses to join a team that has a better future for a career in higher competitions and on the one hand, Chelsea situation seems to scare high quality players from joining that team.

and for the price that will be offered from Napoli I will try to guess that Napoli will definitely make an offer of more than $150m and it will not be more than $200m.
If Napoli make an offer of $200m I will laugh until my stomach hurts, because that an unreasonable price.

Apart from that, how does Chelsea work around this so that they are not subject to FFP sanctions. Remember, Chelsea has poured a lot of money into its investment. both when Chelsea was still managed by Potter, and also Pochettino. However, let's just say Todd can get around it. Well, the other question is, as you said. Is Osimhen willing to join the Chelsea squad next summer, considering that he said at that time there were only two clubs he wanted to play for? if not Manchester United, another option is Real Madrid.

If Chelsea insists, it will be a tough job for Chelsea management to persuade him to join Stamford Brigde. Moreover, Osimhen's transfer value is quite fantastic. However, if this player from Nigeria is willing to join Chelsea, I am sure he can adapt quickly and bring Chelsea back to being a top team competing in the top four of the Premier League standings. Why do I say that, yep, because the current problem Chelsea is facing is the problem of strikers who can consistently score goals. At a minimum, they have to look for players who can score at least 20 goals in a season. and the strikers that Chelsea currently have, especially the center forwards they have are not up to the level they should be. Like it or not, Todd or Poche have to bring him in if they want this team to be able to compete with other big teams.

What is the difference now between Arsenal, Barcelona and Real Madrid? They're not in the same group are they?
You think of something that hasn't happened yet they are now in the group stage and Arsenal losing 1x is not a bad thing, I believe they can qualify for the Gunners not to worry Arteta's games and strategies are always interesting.

Don't doubt Arsenal now they look ferocious, even if Real Madrid meet later I have no doubt that Arsenal can win, anything can happen - so I don't think about how Arsenal are now because being in the group now they are not so worried.
Arsenal's stats are much better now, they have a lot of confidence.
Arsenal cannot be underestimated after successfully overthrowing the defending EPL champions and defending UCL champions Man City, Arteta now has the depth of a squad capable of conquering any challenge in various competitions. Even though we know their defeat against Lens was surprising, I agree with you that Arsenal can progress from the group phase this time. With their reputation this season, Arteta squad does have high self-confidence, they just need to improve their mentality to face big clubs in the next round.

The opportunity to meet Real Madrid or other big clubs is very open because they are not in the same group, but I think if there was another option, Arteta would prefer to avoid it. Not without reason, because the chance of beating a club as big as Real Madrid is very small, and the opposite could possibly happen. Beating Madrid is not enough with squad depth, an unbeaten record in the EPL League, or success in beating Man City, it cannot be used as a benchmark for beating Madrid.

Uniquely, in football anything can happen.

On the contrary, I don't see Madrid looking strong in the front line sector. However, in terms of midfielders, they have many options with talented players. So far, Jude Bellingham's contribution deserves appreciation, unfortunately he is not a striker. That's why, there are times when Belingham will encounter obstacles in creating opportunities and scoring goals in every match. after all, we have not been able to measure Madrid's strength so far. as for the teams they beat in La Liga, or the Group phase, most of them were not strong teams. except, Naples. Unfortunately under Rudi Garcia, their performance has declined slightly.

And it is not impossible that Arsenal will be able to match Madrid if these two teams finally meet. After all, they can beat City, why not Real Madrid. Moreover, now Arsenal has upgraded the depth of its squad. The only thing for me that Arsenal lacks is a pure, sharp striker who they can rely on. if they had that, this team would be much better.
what I say is purely based on my point of view, not because I am an Arsenal supporter.
However, we agree that the Gunners only need to develop a stronger mentality. The reason is, almost the entire team is dominated by young players. That's why team mentality and playing stability will be really needed when meeting opponents who have a reputation and are strong, like Madrid. If we compare reputations, it is certain that Madrid is clearly superior to the Gunners. However, when they meet on the field, Arsenal has a chance to overthrow the opposing team.

Neuer is finally expected to recover from his injury very soon. Some news sources have written like he is likely to return until the Mainz game. It looks like the national break is going to be helpful for Neuer to miss less games than expected. However I doubt that he would be in the starting eleven in this game at least.

Gnabry and de Ligt are also expected to start training with their teammates soon. These are all good news for Bayern Munich as these players all are really important talented players. Especially de Ligt's return would help them make their defending stronger.

Reading based on your post, I tried to surf to find the latest information regarding Bayern Munich's main goalkeeper. unfortunately, not many newspapers provide it. however, I found several sources related to your post. On the website that I read, Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is trying to return to playing after a 10 month break due to injury and that could happen this week ahead of the match against Mainz. not much different, as you said in this post. Likewise with other players, as you said too. Sergey Gnaby, who suffered a broken arm, has returned to training with the team this week with fit-again defender Matthjs de Ligt.

By the way, we could have read based on the same source. But what's more, Bayern Munich has not commented on this issue, it seems they will continue to rely on Sven Ulreich. oh yes, I also referred to the source from Bild.
Now, German Bild reports that Neuer himself is targeting a comeback right after the international break. from the same page, after undergoing a rollercoaster rehabilitation for 10 months in which he experienced several setbacks, Neuer was recently able to train without pain. Well, let's see the Bayern Munich squad in their match this week.
but IMO, if this is true, Neuer will not immediately play as the main starter. ideally, he would start on the bench. To be sure, we are waiting for this week's match to be held.

Problematic is how much Barcelona has been depending on Lewandowski. I read through some of the more recent publications and found Barcelona's comment about his injury. His questionable status for the El Clasico is a serious concern. We are all aware that this game is not just any game, but rather a spectacle and a pivotal moment for the league. The issue is made much more alarming by the absence of important players like De Jong, Kounde, and Lewandowski. Although Barcelona has home advantage due to their location at Camp Nou, I am really doubting their ability to win without their star scorer. Joao Felix, sure, might be able to briefly bridge the gap left by Lewandowski, but he doesnt have the same presence or background as the Polish player. About Barcelona's chances in the El Clasico, I really do concern.

We'll see, every development before this match is held. However, if we talk about the absence of several Barcelona players, it will clearly be a loss for them.  Moreover, the absent players are core players. Fortunately, Xavi still has other options as a replacement and is no less good than the main players. Gavi, Gundohan and Fermin Lopez or Oriol Romeu, and Xavi can rely on them in midfield. Kounde's absence, Xavi still has a decent player option as a replacement. Likewise Raphinha, they have Lamine Yamal.

Now, the problem is on the front lines. in short, will Xavi implement a 4-3-3 pattern. Or, Barcelona will pair two strikers on the front line, namely Felix and Torres. Thus, this system can overcome Lewandowski's injury problem. we can see Madrid's line up and pattern, like Don Carlo. Because they didn't have a number 9 who could be a goal machine in their squad, Ancelotti changed his style and system by playing two strikers on the front line. which means, Xavi can also apply the same pattern. However, it all depends on what the Barcelona coach thinks.
Well, this match will be an important match even without Lewandowski's presence. because, Xavi has the option if he wants to apply other patterns and systems. Plus, they have capable players. although to be honest, I'm quite doubtful of Ferran Torres. So, it's clear that Barcelona still has the potential to win the El Clasico battle. It's just that, we'll see what Xavi will implement.

Chelsea have show their top perform if want back the top fourth place, if loss again warning for Pochettino position because he still fail make Chelsea on top fourth standings.
Facing Arsenal in a challenging match, it seems that a defeat for Chelsea could be a somewhat accepted outcome for Pochettino. This is due to the fact that Arsenal is currently a formidable team, as evidenced by their recent victory over Manchester City. It demonstrates that Arsenal is truly at the peak of its performance early in the season, with only a 2-goal difference separating them from the current league leaders as they sit at second place.

However, what may not be forgiven is if Chelsea suffers a loss to Brentford on October 28. Should Chelsea indeed face defeat, Pochettino's position might come under some threat, as he could be perceived as failing to make Chelsea competitive in the EPL. While Pochettino is likely to be given more opportunities in the weeks to come, his position will, at the very least, be in a somewhat precarious state.

To be honest, I'm not too hasty to predict this London derby match. If we refer to the available odds, Arsenal has odds that are tempting enough for us to choose as a betting option with @2.25. Apart from that, Arsenal will target victory to gain three points to strengthen their ranking on the standings. So, this match will be an important match for Arsenal. It's just that after the match against Chelsea, Arteta had to prepare his team for another important match in the Champions League group phase. To secure their position in the table, Arsenal must go all out to beat Sevilla in an away match and this is not an easy matter. Moreover, before this match Arsenal will visit Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's headquarters.

So, in this phase we have to first confirm the starting lineup of the two teams as a reference for betting. At this time, there is no information regarding the line-up of players that will be played by the two coaches. that's why I said, I won't rush into predicting the fight between these two teams. However, if we talk based on the performance throughout the match played by the two teams, it is clear that Arsenal is the favorite to win this battle. It's just that we don't necessarily speculate without a definite basis. Therefore, let's just wait, at least before this match is held we will get predicted information for both teams.

Lewandowski is expected to return in a week from his injury. But for his full recovery he might need some more time maybe. If he returns on the speculated date then there are going to be only two days remaining for the El Clasico ahead. It is one of the most critical games of the season for Barcelona so they need each one of their best players.
When an elite team like Barcelona depend on just a main attacker, though they have other frontlines but they're mere backup and can't suit in the right positions. Robert Lewandowski might not have been in good form this season but there's a whole lot of things that have made the present Barca top striker, reluctant in Camp Nou. He's in the present of new signings and these players are optimistic about themselves and keen on good results. Lewandowski ensures he returns back to the team before El Clasico emerges, we know how important this game is for the Poland International, he ensured he's present for tougher games.

I read it a few days ago, when Barcelona issued a statement regarding Lewandowski's injury. this Polish player even said that he wanted to make sure he appeared in the El Clasico match. which means, this match is very important for all Barcelona players and also the Don Carlo squad. Not only that, the El Clasico match will always be awaited by football fans, not only the supporters of both teams. unfortunately, all decisions are in Xavi's hands. He said that he did not want to take risks even if Lewandowski had recovered from his injury.  ideally, he is completely fit.
Not only that, several of Barcelona's core players are still absent for at least an undetermined amount of time. De Jong, Kounde, the schedule for returning to the field is not yet certain. Meanwhile, Raphinha is scheduled to return on November 1 and Pedri on October 24. Likewise with Lewandowski's status, his status cannot be confirmed. So, we can see that currently Barcelona is again hit by injuries to its core players.

Even though Xavi actually has a replacement option, the absence of a center striker is quite risky. Honestly, as a Barcelona fan I really doubt Ferran Torres' consistency. although in fact, Joao Felix could replace Lewandowski temporarily. It's just that the El Clasico match is not an easy match. although, the match will be held at Camp Nou.  Playing in front of the public itself can provide strong motivation. However, Lewandowski's absence will make things difficult for Barcelona. This Polish player is not only skilled at scoring goals, even though his performance this season is not very good. However, he can give instructions according to his experience to his colleagues in the field. Anyway, there is no other way but to wait for further developments.

Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ?

For those who have a partner, wife or husband, things like this are not something foreign to us. If there is a complaint from our partner, this is very normal. Moreover, if what we do in gambling is too excessive. Therefore, it is also important to have a partner who understands each other.
By the way, my story brush was once asked to stop doing this hobby activity. At first, my wife didn't know I liked gambling. But that doesn't mean I hide it from them, because after all they will question everything if they find out we like to gamble. I mean, when the wife is afraid that her husband has spent a lot of money and is even in debt. So it's very natural, isn't it, if they think more about things or needs that are more important.

Well, actually for me this is just a matter of trust between partners. but it's not easy to convince him, especially since we promised not to spend a lot of money on the gambling we do. Even this hobby can create conflict in a relationship. well, as I said above.  that there must be mutual trust, and remind them when they have carried out excessive activities. that way, they won't worry. but it's not easy, because before gaining trust, we first have to prove it and that's what I did.

Most of the grown up people do not live with parents. At such, the parents are not aware about the interests and habits of individuals. Do you parents know that you gamble ? What was their first reaction towards your gambling habit ?

So far, my parents don't know I like gambling. For me, we don't need to publish this hobby to other people, including family and even parents. after all, I live with my small family and not under the same roof as my parents. Well, if they knew I liked to gamble, I can guarantee, I wouldn't give any explanation or make any claims.  there's nothing I need to compromise on, even if they force me to stop. especially, if my parents don't ask anything. So, I really won't bother to say anything.

The point is, firstly, they have absolutely no idea what activities I do with my gambling. secondly, if they ask about it and ask for an explanation. as I said at the beginning, I will not claim anything or justify the actions I took. The point is I will only answer to them, whether my life is a mess. if yes, I will gladly accept any criticism and suggestions. but if everything is under control, and does not harm anyone.
For me personally, there is nothing to worry about. because, I know what I am doing and am responsible for it. it's that simple, no need to bother explaining anything. after all, we are adults who are fully aware of what we are doing.

I don't know what else to say, because Neymar has suffered another injury and had to be carried off the field on a stretcher. Neymar suffered an injury during the match between Brazil vs Uruguay which is currently underway and as reported by Fabrizio Romano it seems he has suffered another serious injury. I think whenever and wherever Neymar is he will still be faced with the problems that have caused him to experience a decline in performance in recent years.

In this week's match it is clear that Al-Hilal will not be strengthened by Neymar again and perhaps if he is often absent due to injury, Al-Hilal will also feel disadvantaged because missing Neymar will reduce most people's interest in watching the Saudi league. We can only hope that Neymar can recover quickly from his injury.

It would not be surprising if in the end Neymar was injured again. well, however this is the risk part for him, who always tries to dribble the ball. based on several newspapers that I read, Neymar tried to bring the ball, from the right side and the Uruguayan number 7, Nicolas de la Cruz, was ready to hit. In the report, De la Cruz's tackle was actually not that hard, it was just that Neymar ran in a less favorable position. His legs were weak, and when he was tackled he immediately lost his balance.

Well, I previously said this about this Brazilian star, before joining Al Hilal. It's time for Neymar to play more calmly, otherwise he will suffer injuries more often. and yes, in the end Neymar reportedly suffered a serious injury as reported by Romano. whether it is a loss for Al Hilal, it is clear that they are affected. Apart from the lack of strength on the front line, Neymar's salary is quite large just sitting to watch every Al Hilal match.
However, Al Hilal still had a solid combination of players before Neymar joined. they have Mitrovic as a center forward, Al Dawsari and Michael on the wings, while Malcom as an attacking midfielder. these players, they are quite sharp when it comes to creating chances and goals. Well, maybe Neymar's absence has reduced the enthusiasm of people who want to watch the Al Hilal match.  Yep, like you said.
