You must also take into account that both Liverpool and Manchester City can make mistakes later on, it is not a fact that in case of a defeat or draw by arsenal, MC and Liverpool will reach the end of the season without defeat. Liverpool have a match against MU next, I think it will be a tough one. Manchester City have a match with Tottenham (after arsenal). Asrenal have a match with MU and Tottenham. You see, everywhere you look, you can make mistakes in matches against strong opponents.

This is exactly what i was saying the other day, this game between them both is actually a game that must be a win for either of them as a win will actually boost the confidence of the winning club going further in the season but this doesn't mean a point dropped in this game means the club has lost the race already there is still more than five games to go after that and most of the oppositions will be in dare need of points and could take away points from any of this clubs, so personally i think the race will be alive on till the end of the season. at this point the clubs needs to treat each game as important as the next one and never under-estimate any of the oppositions at this time

He was brought in during the second or third season of Ole Gunner Solskjaer and it was clear evidence that Ole Gunner Solskjaer was tactically poor and not good enough. What manager are you when you cannot manage the big players and mix them up with the yougins?

He shouldn't have returned in the first place, but that was done all because Sir Alex Ferguson called him directly. Yeah, Ronaldo gave Manchester United winners against Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham United scoring Hat tricks against these clubs.

My issue with him was failing to report to the Pre season games and fixtures, that was what got Erik Ten Hag pissed. The season started and he dropped out Ronaldo on the bench for so long. Nothing wrong with him returning, these past legends and current players just fought hard to see him leave. Both Roy Keane and Rio Ferdinand backed him. Also mosteof tjese young lads weren't creative enough.

a year has passed and we are still on this ronaldo and Ten Hag topic, i will have to agree with both of you on the subject matter, but will disagree a bit about Ole, Although Ole wasn't one of the most tactically gifted coaches, i think he was doing ok with the club and had to accept a player that was too big for him to manage and i don't blame that on him because only very few could actually cope with Ronaldo and they are elites Coaches not the likes of Ole. man was coming from a season where he came second in the league and lost an Europa league final. To me the homecoming of Ronaldo did him dirty than we talk about

That's the reason for it being a very complex and decentralized network because if transaction were to be backtracked because if transactions were to be reversed then it would simply means that it can be traceable I guess and it would remove the anonymity behind Bitcoin transactions. For anything it should teach it users a send of carefulness because mistake is something that isn't welcomed in a Bitcoin transaction.

No reversibility of a transaction doesn’t mean it will be reduce anonymity. The address from which the transaction was send from is visible in the blockchain and can be seeing just by everyone. The only way that it will expose one’s anonymity is when it is connected to another address which must have been known to belong to a person, that also cannot be gotten from the mere address details but if it’s link to a KYC exchange and the details of the person is given out by the exchange which we all know is not somewhat easy to get.

The issue that bitcoin transactions been reversible will cause is that it will increase more scam like people reversing legitimate transactions done to the right address after making a payment. So far now the act of it been irreversible is way better because the investors that sends to a wrong address should bear the loss himself.

Arsenal being underdog should relieve a bit of pressure, and they should use this to boost their fighting spirit. Arsenal may have the potential to win matches and compete for the Premier League title, but their competitor is not only Manchester City, there is also Liverpool. This situation is different to their experience of last season when there were only two horses race. They will not able to feel the relief if they won against Manchester, because Liverpool will still haunt them.

Yes the match is certainly one of the deciding factors in this heated battle for the Premier League title, but it is not the only game In the category, the three clubs have each games against oppositions that wouldn’t want to face at the moment because of how dare the points will be to them. This clubs are those fighting for European competition places or those fighting for survival to not be relegated down to the championship. So the best thing for any of this clubs should focus on is to treat every single game as a final as that will be the only way to win the league tittle.

Erik Ten Hag have the players he needs to lift up a trophy, the Red Devils having stellar performance when everyone underrated them, it's quite shocking to see them currently winning elite opposition. Manchester United are competent enough to win the FA Cup this season after eliminating Liverpool in the quarter-final. Perhaps it was huge surprised but it doesn't mean Manchester United should be underestimated, rather these players will continue fighting for crucial breakthrough in success in their perspective careers.

There is no denying the fact that the club has the players to win a trophy but the problem is this players are not playing as a unit that will make them coordinated and look like a team that wants go win a trophy. This United team has been playing With a complete squad since the start of the season with those missing out been the most important players in team and this has affected even how the club will play to Ten Hag’s pattern. The FA cup is achievable for them same as the top 4 too but they will definitely have to up their game more to beat either of the two sides.
207  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Government demanding from Binance the lists of its Nigerian users on: March 21, 2024, 12:10:43 PM
For some months now, the issue of Binance and our Nigerian government has been getting very heated, since the NGN got delisted from Binance we have been using a diverse means to trade.
As of yesterday, a decision was made by the High court towards Binance, ordering them to release comprehensive users data to the Authorities but it seems Binance are not yet giving in and would like to appeal. Is getting very heated now, if it finally ends and the court refuses taking back their order, do you think Binance would have to simply comply?


The thing is binance wouldn’t comply but rather look for ways to reduce the damage that is by paying some fine that the government will ask of but definitely not the $10B. Other government like the US had in the past accused them of money laundering and CZ then took the hit of stepping down from his role and both him and the entity were fined and that’s it.

The reason why I don’t see them releasing the names is because it will look like a breach go right to their customers and they might lose there customers to that, not only In Nigeria but around the world. Many of their customers might see them as push overs by the government and any country can use it against them and we all know even though people submitted KYC they will still want it not to get to their government

The adaptation of Man United new recruits has failed, including their loan players, that is a strong reason why this season Man United is having difficulty in various competitions, their hope now is only in the FA Cup. Another reason is the prolonged injury factor such as that experienced by Mason Mount. It is clear that Ten Hag always lacks rotation options due to the injuries that plague his squad. It could also be that the players have difficulty adapting to the strategy implemented by Ten Hag, so they have difficulty displaying their best game. Hojlund was also considered late on fire, Amrabat failed to adapt, everything nothing has increased.

It is true that management must be more selective in recruiting players, it is better to promote young players from the academy, this can save the transfer budget. But I believe that in the next transfer window Man United will make a lot of moves, management will streamline the main squad. But everything could be different, if Ten Hag was kicked out of Old Trafford. The new owners of Man United certainly hope that the club can qualify for the Champions League next season, and if they fail, it could be difficult for them to add new players.

The FA cup as you have rightful said is the only available trophy for Manchester United this season plus also the fight for the champions league spot. With the new deal with Adidas which should commences next year, Having the rules of a 10M fine should they fail to qualify will be a big challenge for Ten Hag to remain in the club without champions league. He has all the odds for him now to get Atleast a fifth place.

This transfer window I don’t think United will spend big without exits, the first thing will be a massive clear out you can already see that by the appointments of the new directors this to me is a good move by Sir Rectlif as they have been in the dark with the directors they have, this current board will scrutinize Ten  Hag choices well before buying which I somehow second as his hand picked signings are Below average expect few.

With Aston performance declining, many predict that they will most likely be knocked out of the top 4 by Tottenham.
But if we compare the match schedule between Aston and Tottenham until the end of this season, Aston chances are actually slightly better to stay in the top 4 than Tottenham.

Most likely Aston will fail to get 3 points in the following matches:
Mancity vs Aston
Arsenal vs Aston
Aston vs Chelsea
Aston vs Liverpool

And for Tottenham:
Chelsea vs Tottenham
Tottenham vs Mancity
Newcastle vs Tottenham
Tottenham vs Arsenal
Liverpool vs Tottenham

This looks like a good chance for Manchester United to go ahead of them both at most Aston Villa. Not so sure about the games against Chelsea and Arsenal but Arsenal would thrive as they're hoping and fighting to win the Premier League Competition. I love the signatures done but Arsenal, players who has the experience of the Premier League and knows every team very, these are the reason why they have come this far on the Premier League Competition. Players like Declan Rice, Trosadd and David Raya.

Tottenham Hotspur also might also get three points against Newcastle, they're the only weak club for them.
No matter how Chelsea is poor in form, immediately they see Tottenham Hotspur, they'd have no other option but to play like they've been drugged. Manchester United better makes good use of this very chance to win something huge.

If Manchester United can actually use this opportunity well they will be in place for the champions league but they also have there own tricky games coming. Manchester United still has games agains Chelsea and Liverpool which are coming in quick succession or say corresponding order for Manchester United. Should they win this games then they will be set to play in the champions league next season. After this two the other game is the second to the last of the season and it’s against the league leaders, i hope united might have secure their champions league spot before then.

Also we need to be aware that a fifth place spot in the EPL will soon be a champion league place.. the new rule will be for 38 matches currently the Seria A and Bundesliga are the two league the free two slot might get to. But with many EPL clubs in the European competition knockout, the EPL could be the given the slot since It’s base on the league performance In Europe but that now depends on how this countries go far in the competition
210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 20, 2024, 11:00:02 PM
Winning the UEFA Champions League title comes with sacrifices and I'm pretty confident about the incompetent performance of Bayern Munich this season, their weaknesses are clearly mapped out under Thomas Tuchel who's not having a great time in the club, facing vital roles to play which he absolutely doesn't fit in. The winnings are important and there's definitely no better way than enhancing our golden opportunities in the system. Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen are moving in for different target this season. Its been really a whole rough season for the Bavarians.

Bayern Munich have been one of the strongest teams and also one of the favorite by bookmakers every season in the Champions league. Last season they were ruthless under Neglesmann and didn’t even Lose a group game before Tuchel came and they got knocked out by eventual winners city. We all know how good city was last season but the game against Bayern most especially at the Allianz Arena was where I saw Bayern declining a bit and a worry for them this season. And here we are they are in a big mess already. The group stage was easier to me because of the club’s struggling there. The round of 16 was a scare to team, if they can have nerves high like that in a game against Lazio then I see them struggling further. Right now I have higher hopes for Arsenal than them.

As for the league, it’s almost lost to me, although they have been pulling along in think a lose to Dortmund after the international break will all but confirm it for them. Dortmund on their must win this to keep their top 4 spot in tact.
211  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Price fixing and control on: March 20, 2024, 10:38:43 PM
One thing we need to understand is there is many things that need to be regulated before we talk about regulating the goods sold in the market. The first thing is the availability of this goods and not only them been produced by the private sectors alone but also government owned institutions this will help in the circulation of the goods. The second is making an enabling environment for the private sectors, the government charges them too much on tax and also other agencies like power companies also is a barrier for them and that’s why they hike the fees.

Now as for the irregular price in commodities the government need to find balance between the supply from the private producers to the retailers, buy from this end and sell to retailers. Another thing is the laws on shop renting, the government need to add it to housing problems, some of this retailers rent shops or pay rents in excess. Some landlords will just decide to increase the rent and for them to meet up they have to also increase there commodity prices and that’s why there is variance in price most at times. Without fixing this things no one will adhere to a fix price of goods implemented by the government

There is no of such feature yet on the forum.

For your request I think the only way round it as I can search on this before is to make use of the script here on this thread, you can use to ignore a thread on different boards.

Other suggestions could be to the creators of such thread once you lock it and probably it has served its purpose then wouldn’t it be better to move it to Archival board if it is not yet time to delete it, as it will help clean board.

Liverpool clearly dominated That game, it was more like they where scoring and Manchester United where equalizing, I don't think home advantage played any role in favour of Manchester United in that game because Liverpool clearly dominated. Even the last minute goal that was scored by diallo for me was just pure luck.

It will be pretty nice for Eric Ten hag to win this cup but looking at the obstacles  in front of them and considering Manchester United inconsistency in delivery, I still have some doubt in my mind if they will come out victorious at the end.


Recycling possession without threatening isn’t how dominant works to me. United had almost 30 shots in the game and 11 were on target same with Liverpool stats. So I don’t see the reason for dominance here. Manchester United scored three goals that didn’t seems like  luck to me, it was actually Liverpool that got three deflected goals in the match. As for the home advantage it was there, Prior to Anthony’s equalizer you could see the way the home fans were rallying around the team and it continued even after the equalizer because they wanted united to win it other than take it to extra time.

The Cup remains one of the priority of United this season aside the finishing on top four. This trophy will even if help prepare the team towards the next season and could be what will buy Eric Ten Hag more time at the club. So I think they will go all out for it to salvage their season

He would contribute to Manchester United’s squad because they seem to be lacking a proper RWF and Greenwood seem to be the perfect option since him performance has improved alot but I doubt if he would be willing to play for Manchester United again after they didn’t show much support for him when he needed them. If i was to be in hi shoes i would also seek a move out.

There is no doubt that the right wing position at Manchester United is seriously lacking a proper Winger there. They have over the years been looking for a perfect replacement there, they had signed Sancho, Amad and even marquee signing Anthony hasn’t live up to expectations. The last time the club had a proper winger playing from that side was Greenwood himself. Coming back to Manchester United he will certainly get back into the team with his current performances but a Time elsewhere will be better.

I don’t want him to return not because the players wouldn’t welcome him but some fans and also that of the oppositions will taunt him. My advice is he should spend at least a season again in the Laliga even if it is with Getafe, this way other options would open up but he shouldn’t be headed back to English league or anywhere near it.

I do not know what there plans are but I know that it is not something good. This also shows how incompetent our leaders, regulators and other government officials are. They saw the way but prefer just to go the wrong road all because of something not useful but to carry out their useless investigation. Instead of the government to make it mandatory for Binance to have office in Nigeria and tax them as people that are using them, they just prefer what they have been doing that makes Nigeria not to have good economy. They have the power but they do not have the brain that can help this country to move forward.

Seriously I still find this awkward that the only thing Nigerian government can think of is actually just charging this binance entity to a ransom only. When I heard of bitcoin officials in Nigeria i thought they will use the opportunity to get a Nigerian base own binance entity like the binance.US, tax the corporation and also in future should they think of taxing the citizens in cryptocurrency they could get a handful of them through binance. But no they want a ridiculous amount for whatever reason.

It still baffles me that they think binance will allow them get access to customers details, if this leaks binance isn’t only going to lose customers in Nigeria but all over the world because every user will be aware that each country government can get the KYC of their children when they want.

It could be that the icon for listing after been opened actually creates the closing it’s self. So try and remove the other open icon and you will see it been removed

Man City, the current champion, being the favourite here does not surprise me, but the disproportions between their odds and the odds for other teams seem a bit strange to me. I don't think Man City is that much better than Arsenal or Real Madrid. I'd expect pay-out rates to be much closer to each other.
Placing bet on Real could be a good opportunity. If they somehow manage to get passed the City, it should be smooth sailing from there.
Any thoughts?

These are just bookmarkers odds or predictions we all know most of this fail at the end of the day. If I am to rank any club winning a champions league every season I will always rate Real Madrid very high on the top of the list because it’s like it’s their competition. To me the match between Manchester city and Real Madrid is the only stumbling block to Madrid winning their 15th title if they overcome this they will be no match for the other teams.

But right now this Madrid team doesn’t look like the team that can beat Manchester city even though I don’t see city at their best this season. A second leg away from Santiago Bernabeu has hardly help Madrid and City hardly lose at home in the champions league so it will be difficult for Madrid to get pass it
219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 16, 2024, 02:52:34 PM
If Man Utd sells Marcus Rashford for financial gain then what will happen to Man Utd in the future? Indeed, Man Utd still has Rasmus Højlund and can use the money to buy other players, but I'm not sure Man Utd can get the right player again. ETH has made a mistake in recruiting players who are not needed, causing Man Utd to experience a decline. If this continues to happen, it is not impossible that Man Utd's performance will decline further if you only think about profits.

Although I won’t argue with the fact that Marcus Rashford is one of the most important players in this current Manchester United team and his poor form this season has actually affected the entire team which shows how important he is as a player. Furthermore I don’t think United will sell at least not for less than a €100 million but should he leave they would find someone to definitely replace him. The club had sold greats like Ronaldo in the past and they were able to recover a bit.

Yes I see your position on Ten Hag signings not been doing well but this time around under the new directors and Executives I think better players will be scouted to replace him.

To be fair we are talking about a player who would come with a lot of rumours and troubles. Doesn't mean that they are true, even when someone gets cleared of this, there is this stigma of a player when they play a ta big club, and even though he gets a clean result, he will still be "disliked" by some people, or even if they don't, people who hate United, will just use it as a scapegoat to attack them, that's just it.

This is why I believe that nothing will change and we should be considering the situation as normal. I believe that we are going to end up with a situation that would not be all that easy, and we need to just consider Greenwoods career will not go that high. Good news is, he is still playing and making millions.

In as much as he is a great and interesting player and every Manchester United player will want him back to the club with the right wing facing serious problems I think the best thing for both parties is to allow the young lad to leave elsewhere. The English football doesn’t look like they want him back and he might be faced with rage by away fans and some home supporters. He should agree a deal in the Spanish league and settle there and continue to build his career, a move back to united will be too toxic for his mental health
220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 16, 2024, 02:35:20 PM
It is looking that way right now, but i will wait until it is over before i celebrate, whenever i remember how Dortmund failed to win the title on the last day of last season, it reminds me that we have to wait until is over to be certain of who is going to win the title. I know that Leverkusen's position this season is different to that of Dortmund last season, Xabi Alonso's team has a huge advantage and it would be a great shock if they fail to win the title, and i hope they win it.

Exactly I am too not going to be over zealously in celebration for Bayer Leverkusen because i have witnessed in the past where clubs at a very good position throw it away most especially this Bundesliga. Last season was a well deserved lesson to be learned seriously, Dortmund had to throw it all away just at the death. But that Hasn’t changed my perspective of Bayer Leverkusen winning it this year.

I find this team way too different when compared to other teams that have bottled it in the past. They have an unbeaten record to chase which adds another hunger, they have played almost all the top clubs including their closest contender Bayern Munich and this breath confidence. They do come behind from even a 2 goal down to win games which shows their determination and resilience to overcome hurdles. I think with this they can go all the way not to only the Bundesliga but do it in a remarkable fashion by going undefeated
