after 14 years a new investor joins newcastle united. this investor from saudi arabia will bring new big money into the club's budget with the aim to compete in the premier league in a few years time

Quote
The Magpies now have a new owner. On Thursday, the Premier League confirmed that the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) have passed the so-called fit and proper test. Newcastle then confirmed the 100% takeover of the club by PIF, PCP Capital Partners, and RB Sports & Media.
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/newcastle-united-sold-to-quot-patient-quot-saudi-arabian-investment-fund/view/news/393810

So we will have another team that turn into Manchester City soon huh. Its not bad because it totally will raise up the overall quality of the league and Im pretty sure that anyone that comes from Saudi Arabia is only here for business so I will have my hope up on Newcastle. If this turns out to be a great investment then Im pretty sure the rest will come and take over another club in EPL
I don't think Newcastle will be successful near as Man City in time it took what for Manchester City to win theirvfirst Domestic ligue title 3-4 years to do so after the acquisition.
For Newcastle I think it will take them more then 5 years atleast to finish in top4.
The Financial Fair Play rules wouldn't allow heavy money pumping for Newcastle and at the end money doesn't guarantee success.
After the news of the Saudi investors buying the club, Steve Bruce declared that he is afraid now of losing his job.
I think it's not that the investors will want new direction for the club but also his results are not satisfying to start with at the beginning.

Great comeback for France thought that 2 goal lead Belgium had sealed the deal but seems like Mbappe and Benzema had other plans which rescued the French team from a knockout and possibly conceding defeat before the match ended. Now that things have evened out am thinking the French will go on to win as the are playing with so much conviction and keep pressing Belgium upfront which has put them in so much pressure.
Rimontada in a three-way game that Karim opened and Theo Hernandez killed in his first match.
The suspense from a level beyond logic and nature between yesterday's and today's summits.
Imagine if there was no VAR? Belgium was in the final!! Justice is the biggest gain of this device, which sometimes receives a lot of criticism.
Honestly I didn't expect from France to make this return for a moment after seeing the end of the first half.
23  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread on: October 07, 2021, 08:02:12 PM

The first half is about to end, 2 goals scored already. Belgium is leading by 2 goals and I believe they have upper hand already if they play veey well also in the second half just like in the first half. What I am just happy about in the ongoing match is that the second goal was score by Romelu Lukaku which I was expecting he will score for his country. Maybe no goal will be scored in the second half but likely will not be like that or the chance that more goals will not be scored is very high.

In the second half, Belgium is likely to play counter attacks, which will allow them to score more goals. France is not playing well now, it's hard to say why this is happening, they have excellent players, but they interact very poorly with each other. Every team has recessions, but in France it has been too long. Belgium is also a very strong national team with a very strong attack.
Yeah in second half we should see France try to get back and atleast try to go for a draw,
Benzema and Mbappe with Greizman behind them.
One of them atleast expected to pull one back.
It's true that Belgium have been dominating more but France with their name need to make a reaction that's why I'm going with France to pick up atleast one goal.
But at the end I think that KDB and his teammates are going to be the winners for this Semie Final.
KDB was phenomenal he provided the two goals assists and he should have scored one but Lloris denied him.

So Newcastle have a new owners now that have much much more deeper pockets then Man City owners.
According to the British newspaper, the Daily Mail, the process of Saudi Arabia’s acquisition of the English club is closer than ever. The newspaper pointed out that the acquisition of Newcastle United will be for 300 million pounds.
It was stated that if this acquisition is approved, the ownership of the club will end to British businessman Mike Ashley, who has led the club for 14 years. It is worth noting that the Saudi Investment Fund was close to acquiring the English club, last year, but the deal failed suddenly.
Newcastle now sitting in relegation zone after 7games with just 3 points.
This acquisition could help them but not so much it will take them longer then Man City to achieve something.

I think that even with current squad, Barca results can't be justified. We should be in Top 4 in La Liga I think and fight for 2nd place in CL group. I hope that return of Fati will help, but as we saw, it will took some time for him to get into optimal condition.

Exactly, Barcelona are in shambles but we've still got a squad capable of grinding out results, and what we are getting is way far from what the team is capable of under the right management, which I'm insistent on Koeman leaving, but it looks like we'll likely be stuck with for the while.

He should always go for what he wants from a match, you don't go into a game with a mindset of not losing with a team like Barcelona.

That's just the weight of expectation on them really. I remember when Liverpool were plumbing trade in 6th or 7th place most of the time and arguably, they had the squad that should have been below 10th. Many critics will also say we should be in 3rd/4th at best, but every season we seem to overperform and get 1st/2nd of late.

Grinding out results have never really been Barca's traits I'd say. They know how to win and to subdue opponents, but don't really know how to tough it out for 3 points.

Anyway, everyone back on International duty and here's a silver lining for you: Barca still has a Spanish spine whereas in the last UCL outing for Real, there were exactly zero Spanish players... so if Spain beat Italy and have a few good games maybe they take some of that back to the league later.
yeah I hope that Barcelona gets back on for because its costing me a lot of points from results that's not expected.
Koeman situation for Barcelona is still unclear rumors have never stopped popping of potential replacement for him or every game played was going to be his last the only positive point I see for Barcelona is their La Masia School as its considered one of the best schools for graduating young players in the world, as it produced a wonderful generation of players such as Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta and others, who led Barca to many local and European achievements.

Inter Milan, talks to extend the contract of one of its wanted players in the ranks of Liverpool during the current season.
"Inter Milan have started talks with Nicolo Parilla regarding a new long-term contract," Fabrizio Romano, wrote on his Twitter account.
He added, "Inter Milan, negotiations have just started, but he wants to reach an agreement as soon as possible, although the player's contract expires in the summer of 2024." It is noteworthy that many press reports confirmed that Nicolo Barella is receiving strong interest from Liverpool during the current season.
Barella played a prominent role in Italy's winning of the Euro title last summer, in addition to the Azzurri's reaching the semi-finals of the European Nations League.

What a disappointing day for Italy! The game hasn't still ended though. But it is clearly seen that it will be really hard for them to make a comeback. Spain were leading by 2-0 until Italy just scored a goal and decreased the gap by one. But Italy are playing with ten players which makes things even harder for them. Now, Italy see a hope about equalizing the score. They have nothing to lose and I'm sure that they will attack fully. But at the end, Spain should be able to advance to the final.
A wonderful performance from Spain and an excellent formation from Enrique, the Spanish national team, grinding the Italian and wonderful young men.
The system of the Spanish team is wonderful. The evidence is that Boskoch and Gavi were excellent.
This shows us that the Barca system is finished psychologically and morally.
Koeman in stages, although Koeman has excellent young elements, but we do not see a convincing form of Barcelona, and here the teams of coaches appear, La Roja was unlucky in many opportunities, and hurry up against the attackers, otherwise it would have ended with more than four for the Spaniards, congratulations for Spain, Hardluck for the Italians.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is hoping PSG forward Kylian Mbappe to join his team in the next year. Maybe it won't happen in January but I strongly believe that it will happen next summer. Mbappe is not thinking of extending his contract now. And I don't expect him to change his mind in the future also. His contract is going to have 6 months left in January and Real Madrid will be able to sign him without a transfer fee. This is a big advantage for them as they are after Erling Haaland at the same time.
Yeah Florentino Perez did not miss the opportunity to talk about Mbappe's situation after his statements yesterday. "We may know exactly his future in the winter."
And what is happening now will probably be this blow that will break Peres' back. But when it is completed.
it will be the blow that will immortalize the president in the minds and hearts of all madridistas throughout history.
Haaland situation is slightly different as Dortmund could make him renew for the sake of selling him for higher price as his buyout clause is considered low compared to other players that left the club.

Finally, the brothers Lucas and Theo Hernandez together with the French national team. What Theo offers with the Milan gives him the right to wear the blue shirt for quite some time.But to arrive late is better than never.
Deschamps has treasures in all positions ,And he must be careful because Zizou is waiting.
Tomorrow they are going to be playing against Belgium.
And the bookies are slightly favoring them against the Belgian side with odds @2.5 for France to win and 2.9for Belgium.
It's difficult to predict who is going to finish on top so I think it's safer to go with BTTS.

The Turkish grand prix is coming up this weekend and it should be another exciting one in Istanbul park.

From the early set of odds for the final race it looks as Max is the favorite to win it there.
Here are the top 3 and race:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/formula-1/formula-1/race/race-615191993b4ce89b2688ce9f
They say the change dtge surface for the Turkish GP and it's not as slippery as it was like last year race.
But we could see raining this time also so things can be very interesting for this race.
Max is favorite to win could be for the reason that he has a brand new power Unit and for Hamilton he still running on a high mileage one that can fail him at any point of the GP.
Despite that Hamilton was last year winner while Verstappen was not near the podium I think he was 6th despite being qualified 2nd.
So unless we have a surprise I think Hamilton is more favourite to win this time.

The Catalan press is saying 5 players for Barcelona are about to.make the return of Fati,Dembele,Pedri,Aguero,Alba from injury. "Koman now has all the players during October," .
Outwardly, good news for Koeman, because he can play the way he wants, but in his heart there is "the horror" because the failure in October has no excuse or justification!

I think  that with tge current financial situation for Barcelona they are going to have to keep up with Koeman despite not achieving tge bare minimum results awaited from him.

With the second international break and with the end of the seventh round, who is the team that was a nice surprise to you and the team that was an unexpected surprise?
For me, I was desperate for Everton with Benitez before the start of the league, but he surprised me with his system that works even without his most prominent stars and scorers.
As for Leeds with Bielsa, it was certainly the unexpected surprise with its terrible decline compared to last season, especially offensively because defensively, it is a permanent problem with the Argentine crazy for the idea of attack .

Salah has reached a level with Liverpool, making all the big European press talk about the idea of his nomination for the final trio of the Golden Ball next season.
The numbers of Drogba and Eto'o are great, God willing, although Salah plays as a winger and players like Drogba and Eto'o were attackers inside the box.
Continuity in high performance and with the development of weaknesses in recent years really puts him among the greatest players of his generation and one of the greatest players in history for the fifth season We are competing for the award for the hardest scorer in the English Premier League in the world.
 Even from the beginning of the season, only two players who have continued their strong performance are Benzema and Salah.

Atalanta - Milan

in my opinion without Zlatan Ibrahimovic Milan is not very strong and Atalanta will win this game
The goal made by Calibra at 27' seconds really made the Atalanta players seem to lose their spirits
Milan really needs Ibrahimovich but Milan is not dependent on Ibrahimovich (like Barca are dependent on Messi)

but at the last minutes, I saw the Atalanta players didn't waste their chances, they were very confident and managed to score 2 goals in less than 10 minutes before the match ended
what made Milan distinguished against Atlanta was that from the first minute it took advantage of the poor defensive positioning of the Atlanta defense from the beginning of the match and scored a very early goal that made the match tilt in the hand of Pioli and proceeded the match as he wanted a goal from the first minute,
 making Milan play on the rebounds in light of the positions Bad defense Most of the matches from Atlanta The high pressure on the Atlanta defense causes a lot of problems because it will be present on the part of Milan Diaz and Tonali who are excellent in cutting the ball.
It was Solid performance for Atlanta in attack at the end of the first half and at the end of the second half, when fatigue began to appear on the team of Milam, But the team's defense was in the process of being penetrated by a ball.

^

I also had a 2-1 win for Liverpool but changed my pick otherwise with just few minutes to kick off, for no apparent reason other than my natural likeness for City. And City most times don't need to be in their best form to win matches like these, and I foresee a draw here.

I'm not doing so well in the pool and dropped a few positions, seem like you just dropped off the 1st position as well...
What a game in the end. First half was a bit underwhelming but second half was action packed. Especially last 10 minutes when both teams went for the winner. What a chance for Fabihno, and that sliding tackle from Rodri, I already saw the ball in the net.

Salah had a great performance and his goal was pure perfection, even scored it with his much weaker right foot.
Perhaps the most beautiful game of the season so far, a very exciting draw between Liverpool and Manchester City.
The truth is that Salah is amazing this season, not only the story of the goal, the dribbling or the assist, but his personality, the way he played and his remarkable brilliance for a while make me assure that he wants more than the Premier League top scorer title in the next. City is a highly respected team with Guardiola, organized and committed, and as usual, Bernardo Silva presents great levels in the big matches, but the team also lacks the decisive factor in the last attacking third.
A number 9 in January for City is more like compulsion, not a choice. In the end, a point is better than nothing for both teams.

Apparently Hamilton will have to take a penalty hit in the upcoming remaining races for getting a new power unit.
That is what is making RedBull feeling positive about the drivers Championship. Not only that there have been a reliability problems for the Power Units they have as the penalty that Bottas took for getting a new engine for Sochi was not just to slow down Verstappen it's because there have been an issues with the new engine that they got for him in Monza an for the time being it's unusable unless they make full analysis and see what is wrong with and is it possible to race with it again.
So if they don't find what is wrong with that power unit, getting a new one for Hamilton can be risky for him especially when we also seen the same Power Unit with Williams have issues in last race when they used a new one on latifi car and Russel also had to retire at one time earlier this season with problems with engine.

It was nice to see both of the big teams like Inter and Juventus winning against Sassuolo and Torino respectively. Both of them had difficulties in winning their games actually. Sassuolo got ahead first and a tough job was waiting for Inter to turn the game around. But they still were successful about it and won by 2-1 away. Juventus had a hard time defeating Torino away. They hardly won by the goal in the last minutes. Juventus continue to go up in the standings. They will need to keep up the great job to reach top positions.
It was as if this lady never wanted to return to her crutch.
Since the awakening that the club made for itself after a disappointing start, Juve has not stumbled until the moment, defeating all its opponents, including the European champion. And because the derby has its own characteristics, it is a difficulty for Allegri and his players.
But when your player thinks well and is not random, you can win an explosive match like this, just as Locatelli did.
I would prefer any player who is not random in the way he decides, and Locatelli's goal is accurate and placed in his place ,It may seem easy to some, but if you see Coutinho wasting his individuality against Atleti, you think that it is very difficult.

I'm going to be just flooding myself with footie today, and I've got money on the very first game for the Blues to get the better of Ronaldo and co, but I'll also take Trofo's advice and go against Chelsea today -- but I'm keeping my predictions as is for now.

I'd go Brighton against the Gunners too but can you believe the odds are actually with the home team? This makes sense to bet on Arsenal actually.


Ronaldo is sitting on the bench for the moment, is it just weather that do not suit him, or there is something else, it is to be seen
nevertheless, good for my boys, it will be easier to get something other than zero points today, although there is a bunch of forwards injured and not playing for Everton

not so sure about Chelsea going down today, I think that it would be an routine win 2:0 or 3:0, two loses in a row is enough to bring them back to reality
A draw that United should be happy with after Yari Mina's shot and the canceled goal.
Manchester lost 5 points against Old Trafford in one week and the bleeding series continues and question marks over the performance and choices are increasing week after week.
 They had a great first half but second half was not up to standards, Fred should not be starting another match for United as he is clear the weakest link in Manchester United team and he had been there for a while.

As for Chelsea they are currently winning 1-0 and it's almost half time for them they just had a goal for Werner disallowed by VAR so we could see more goals come in the 2nd as they are still hungry for goals.

Tomorrow is the Turin derby, where Juventus will be a heavy guest on Turin's neighbor in the derby, the old capital of Italy, the first capital of a united Italy. Turin, the city crowned with the largest number of local championships in the history of Italian football, 62 titles completely and completely within Italy in the city of Turin. Although mostly for the old lady, this year it looks like the derby will be exciting.
Juventus seeks confirmation, and Turin seeks to continue their victories that encourage Nicolas' leadership.
We are on a date with the most culminating derby in Italy.
And we most likely going to see both teams on the scoring sheets.

We have a game tomorrow.
Atletico Bilbao playing home against Alaves.
The game starts in less then 20hrs from now so get your predictions in.
Alaves just enjoyed their first points that came against Atletico Madrid with a win while bilbao have now 10 points from 7 game.
Scoring 6 in them and conceded 4.
For this match it feels like it's going to be a home win for Bilbao and I don’t think we are going to see a lot of goals here as Alaves looking to get a draw from this match.
So more likely to be 1-0 or 2-0.
