I get what you are emphasizing on because when we look at it in your direction Pochettino really tried towards the end of last season because from how Chelsea started the season and to end in the 6th position mean that Pochettino was able to discover some of the club's weakness and made some amends for the team hence their ability to end the season well even though the F.A cup trophy that Manchester united won denied Chelsea of having a spot in the Europa league next season.

Checking at Enzo Maresca career as a manager so far I can see that apart from Leicester city that he succeeded in bringing back to the premier league he hasn't really coached a strong team though for once being an assistant manager to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City in 2022 and 2023 means he has learnt a lot from a successful coach and that was the more reason he was able to bring back Leicester city to being promoted to the premier league so let's be hopeful that he can make good improvements for the West London club Chelsea FC next season.

I created a similar topic like this some time ago Can we proudly tell people that we're Bitcoiners?, you can check the link to see the opinion of people there. Then in my own opinion, bitcoin is not new anymore as the awareness is every where so inasmuch as you have access to an internet enabled device or phone there is no way you won't come across something relating to Bitcoin on the internet however, it is not necessary to persuade anyone about what you are into but if you also wish to tell people so that they won't raise suspicion that you are into fraud or internet scams you can still let others know but you need to be mindful of the kind of people you relate such information with so that you don't jeopardize your own security.

Pochettino can not do better even if he is given more coaching time at Chelsea because this is a manager that coached Tottenham but no trophy if not that PSG was grounded already before he was able to get 3 trophies within his 18 months of coaching the club so Chelsea's management team sacking Pochettino is the best in my own opinion. Enzo Maresca may look inexperienced but since he succeeded in bringing back Leicester city to the premier league we should accord him some benefits of doubt because if he uses the experience while coaching Leicester and use it for Chelsea they are likely to make good improvements.

Enzo Maresca can still turn things around for Chelsea just that it's gonna take him time since he is just coming from the championship to the premier league so the experience is not gonna be the same but with time he will adapt and possibly make a difference.

If you are new into gambling then you will have this urge to gamble more even increase your stakes when you win but when you have experienced too many losses as a result of winning and tending to increase your wager or continue gambling then you will be open to reality of how gambling should be followed.

Literally, most of us are gamblers and we have been in this situation whereby due to the joy we get when we win, the winning is being mismanaged so I believe now that you have realized your mistakes what you need do is for you to set gambling limit for yourself and try to maintain it such that even after a winning you won't go against the limit you have set for yourself that's one of the ways to conquer the idea of winning and playing more.

Of a truth every one is required to pay taxes to government if only the system was to be transparent such that the dividends of the taxes the masses are paying are visible to them but however, except a poor man has a source of income they should not be taxed. The poor ones in the society are trying to survive so they don't deserve pressure to pay taxes because had it been the so called government were to make good use of the revenue being generated by people who pays their taxes it would have had significant results in reducing the rate of unemployed youths on the streets but it is just so sad that after collecting this taxes, they don't care to bring forth projects that will employ higher numbers manpower to deliver them by so doing everyone will even persuade others to pay taxes and people would gladly pay without delay.

Instead of the government to use this income that is generated for infrastructural development and other projects, they often share the money among the themselves and enrich their businesses while the masses are there suffering yet they are still paying taxes.

Literally, what brings more people to gambling is when the story of someone who won huge amount goes viral then other people starts to develop interests in gambling and of a truth there are people who are lucky in gambling not that they win steadily but there is no way they will place bets in a whole week without winning even if the winnings are small but they must surely win unlike majority of people that losses their money no matter how many times they have tried and made several attempts on winning. For someone who wins steadily, it is just pure luck and when other gamblers wants to take advantage of such person before you know the luck may run away from them.

Every gambler have winning mindset in them no matter how many times they have lost because even those of us that advises on gambling for fun, sometimes we wish to win also because no body risks their money just to lose all the time.

We are in a computer age now, when I say computer age am talking about an easy and fast period of life such that information and awareness are spreading rapidly regardless of who is being exposed to them. Literally, in the past there were contents that are restricted to the exposure of children but now social media has made it easy for anybody to get access to things in the Internet be it something that should be known by only adults or not and for me since there is no way we can completely restrict children from getting access to some contents that may affect their reasoning ability so what we need do is only to guide and educate them about those things, tell them the advantages and disadvantages so that they will not be misguided outside.

Social media influencers like the contents creators are mostly the people that gambling companies uses to advertise their sites because they know that most people prefer watching videos and funny contents online now so most of the time they usually advertise gambling casinos and other gambling platforms just to convince their followers and viewers to place bets on those gambling sites and have a chance of winning.

There is no way those influencers or celebrities can know their targets audience since everyone can easily access their contents without any restrictions.

Real Madrid have been in good squad for several seasons now and they have formed a prestigious squad that have been helping the club win major trophies and now that a great talent in the person of Mbappe have been signed, a lot is expected from the team because they don't lack anything but let's not be overzealous about the signing of Kylian Mbappe because in football, sometimes things doesn't work the way as expected but however, i believe the Frenchman will do his best to make sure that the hypes everyone is giving Real Madrid as a result of his arrival is not wasted.

It's rather early to make predictions of who will become first and second since Manchester city isn't also in a bad shape so we should not expect less from them as they also have a good squad and are almost equal in performance as Real Madrid, the only difference between the two teams is the higher Champions league trophies that Real Madrid has as compared to Manchester city that just won the champions league once in the club's history but considering how formidable the team have become in recent years means they can still win more champions league since Pep Guardiola has built the team so well and they also have an interesting squad but however, Real Madrid is the master of Champions league.

I don't really understand the NFF choice of coach for the Super eagles of Nigeria because literally, The team still need foreign coaches with lots of experience unlike Finidi George because despite that Finidi George has some coaching experience i think he isn't fit enough to coach the Super eagles because the players respects foreign coaches more than a coach from Nigeria.

Finidi George needs a lot of work to do for the Super eagles because if he doesn't qualify then for the world cup next that means his contract will just end so he needs to try his best for the super eagles to qualify. However, as for the chances of the super eagles qualifying for the world cup I don't see that happening because judging from matches they have played previously they didn't play anything at all. Just look at this match they played against Benin republic the match was just a total shame for the eagles.

@examplens this also makes me wonder if people just bump into a thread without going through the OP about the rules of a thread. People can just rank up without excessive congratulatory replies and announcements but it's just very obvious that people are so adamant  because I have witnessed several occasions in which you said about this congratulatory replies by both users who have achieved their next ranks and others that keeps spamming the thread after a user must have ranked up but yet they keep on to disregard your complaints.

Anyway I feel the OP might be too occupied with other responsibilities hence the reasons why he is not watching the activities of this thread but I hope he makes out time for this thread so that his motives of creating the thread will not be defeated.

Yes Nigeria and South Africa are strong competitors when it comes to national competitions and if you check by their head to head  you will see that most of their meetings always end in draw that to show how strong the both teams are so about yesterday game the both side played very well from my own view.

Likewise me as well when South Africa scored first I also had the feeling that they will definitely end in a draw or win because there was no way Nigeria would have afforded to lose that match so had it been they lost it would have been a bad experience for the team so even though they didn't win instead of losing the match the draw they ended was better for them.

Yes Nigeria have international professional players from various competitive leagues in the world and they are expected to also play more better in country matches just same way they play for major leagues in Europe example is the likes of Ademola Lookman, Victor Osimhen, Boniface, Alex Iwobi, Kelechi Iheanacho and some others so the Nigerian team have better squads that plays in major leagues so a lot is expected from those combination of players.

We have heard different stories of people who regretted not investing on Bitcoin earlier before now when they had a lot of money to invest but they didn't and that is how life is because there were also people who actually took the risks and invested on bitcoin then and most of them are now millionaires and has good amount of Bitcoins in their individual portfolios and now that you are making this regrets is still the best time to invest because Bitcoin is yet to create more shocking history in the near future so the advice is just the same, buy and hodl.

Yeah most people misinterprets gambling addicts to be those that doesn't win at all but yet they get money from other sources to finance their gambling but it's not like that and there are some addicts that even wins more than an ordinary gambler that plays occasionally because there are higher chances of a continuous gambler to win just that at the end they still end up losing all their winnings and all their efforts goes in vain so gambling addicts wins and apart from those set of gamblers that doesn't give up on an amount they have lost and continue chasing losses till they get addicted if not gambling addicts are even the higher winners but in the quest to win more out of greed makes them look so foolish after losing everything.

Bayern Munich were too fast in appointing Vincent Kompany as the club's manager like they rushed the whole process and am still wondering what was their intentions for hiring Vincent Kompany because Bayern Munich just ended the Bundesliga in a very bad way of which they are hoping to do better next season, now that they went and hired Kompany how can they be able to do better than last season since Vincent Kompany hasn't managed any big team and even Burnley where he coached previously has just been relegated so i don't know how they can do the magic of winning the Bundesliga next season with Kompany as their manager but however, let's see how he can make a difference for Bayern Munich and if he does then that would be a new beginning for the Manchester city former player Kompany.

Am not aware that there were coaches that rejected Bayern Munich's offer for managerial role before they sought the service of Vincent Kompany but if any coach rejects such offer then I wonder what could be the cause because Bayern Munich is literally a well known club that any manager will be proud to become manager of such a great club.

Not really that gambling addicts don't win, they do win but still find themselves losing all they've won because addiction makes people not to be conscious about their spending so in most cases when an addicted gambler win certain amount of money instead of going home and use the money won for important things rather than gamble they will still end up losing all either after winning or they can still decide to continue betting and at the end every thing is gone again. When we lay so much emphasis on the negative and bad aspects of gambling addiction it doesn't mean that they are not lucky sometimes but due to the fact that even when they get lucky they still stupidly make several mistakes again that is the major problem.

Many a people care less about getting an attorney when making business deals with a company or firm and with the extreme to which individuals are becoming greedy and manipulative is better to involve a lawyer in any business dealings with anyone for reference purposes in the future because even if you document terms and conditions of a contract you have with people, they can deny it in the future but when a reputable lawyer is involved it will be difficult for such a thing to occur.

In the area where I lived in my country, a lot of people have lost their properties simply because they didn't involve a lawyer when acquiring those properties and those people that sells those properties to them also resells to other people and this mostly happens to individuals that acquires a property and abandoned it without maintenance or always trying to check if those properties are still intact so some people takes advantage of that and sell those properties without the knowledge of the rightful owner and in a case of conflict and you don't have a good senior advocate losing those properties becomes so easy.

I know that the world we are now every thing literally depends on your financial capacity and wealth but sometimes we have to risk the money and secure our assets for the future so that no body can invade your business without your knowledge or consent as it will protect you from loss of your assets.

A think I'm comfortable with your definition of good posts as those are the qualities that a good post should portray because some people literally thinks that after making some few posts that they must earn merit instantly but that is not the case because Theymos emphasized more on the need to only award merits to high quality contents and not some gibberish.

I like your third point of a good post because it reminds me of when I started making posts in the forum and I didn't earn any merit and I was feeling so bad and I increased my level of research not until a day I logged in and saw I've got some Merits on my profile and was from a reputable staff of the forum, it made me engage more in making good posts and the merits kept coming till I ranked up to full member but now it's very unfortunate that most newbies now are after ranking up quick and start earning from signature campaigns but just like @hugeblack said that signature campaigns are just for fun because they come and go so the payments can't be reliable to earn a living from it considering the fact that the payments are low and real life jobs and business are more profitable and guaranteed than signature campaign payments so we need to be more devoted to quality rather than quantity because even the merits we earn is also part of fun because when the merit system was not introduced people were still ranking up and making quality posts so there is nothing too important about getting merits.

For me I feel that racism is not only experienced in football as it is as old as mankind because right from creation, the whites always feels so superior to the blacks and that is why the blacks has always been under the white people for a very long time, they see black people as inferior to them even in the world of football where it is mainly visible and it's not only about players and fans but even the football body FIFA can't completely exonerate themselves from being racists because more blacks have been in good performance in the world of football but in several cases they are being denied the balloon D'Or and even now that a lot of speculations and analysis have been going towards the favour of Vinicius Jnr but however, they will still find a way to deny him the award simply because of his race.

It is important for us to understand that the blacks have made good impacts in the economy of the world at large so they shouldn't be bullied or underrated instead let's appreciate their creativity and make them feel welcomed wherever they go to and wherever they find themselves.

De Bruyne is the best midfielder that Manchester city has produced so far and I see no reason why the club will want to sell such an experience player considering the fact that he is still very much important to the squad because you can't compare when De Bruyne is off the pitch and when he is being featured in a match because you will find out that Manchester city finds it more easier to win matches when De Bruyne is available so he's a player that Manchester city would not want to lose and if we look at Manchester City's performance last season, they weren't much in their best as they managed to narrowly win the league title and lost out in other trophies like the Champions league trophy and the F.A cup so they still need De Bruyne for them to make things more better for the club next season.

Manchester city already has money to buy new players to the team but for me I don't see any need for new signing because they also have one of the best squad alongside Real Madrid, every Manchester city's player is tactical and talented as their first XI is almost same with their second squad and considering the relationship between Pep Guardiola and De Bruyne means he can't let him out of the squad anytime soon.

Of a truth the champions league has it's uniqueness among all other competitions just like the world cup that different countries and different players from various clubs across the globe come together to play. The champions league is rich, and entertainment at it's peak so every team that qualifies for the champions league is always excited about it because that is where champions from different leagues meet.

Talking about how the new champions league season is gonna be, I assume that it will still create tension just like every other seasons and since Real Madrid is dominating the champions league every one can just tip them to win continuously most especially now that the squad has become more solid with the free transfer of former PSG play maker Kylian Mbappe so a lot is expected from the Real Madrid squad but however let's not forget the fact that the champions league is a combination of champions from other leagues so changes can happen as things may not really go as everyone is predicting but however, Real Madrid will go far in the competition because it will be shameful for them not to make visible impact after having the best squad for the competition.
