Liverpool vs Manchester City
Arsenal fans will be definitely depending on Liverpool right now to either hold Manchester city to a draw or better still get all three points. both teams have played fairly balanced football in this first half hopefully in the second half of season goals but I prefer the goals to come from Liverpool and not Manchester city.

We (arsenal) did well to soak up the pressure from Leeds United in the second half, they played so well and had so many chances in front of our goal. when the game started and I saw the way Rodrigo was playing I thought maybe he will cause a problem for about line, but the opposite happened and his mistake gave us the goal. with the introduction of Patrick bamford for Rodrigo in the second half Leeds played much better and were more threatening with those burst run through our defence. We were lucky that they missed a penalty and that the second penalty that was given was later annulled.

does anyone know why the arsenal match has not been played?
According to reports from the commentators, they are experiencing technical failure caused by power outage in the stadium so it has forced the referee to suspend the game for the now till they can get the VAR and goal line technology back up and running. This extra delay may have a toll on the players who may become nervous after having played just a few minutes. We waiting for kick off.

For the Aston villa Chelsea game Chelsea have been very lucky so far scoring with their first chance and opportunity but in truth this first half have been clearly dominated by Aston villa who have had more opportunities but Chelsea have been saved a couple of times by their goalkeeper Kepa and the Goal post.

Tottenham must give an impressive performance against Everton...
Tottenham's performance today totally outclassed Everton who did not have so many attempts on goal both in the first and second half. Conte's tactical change that saw Bissouma introduced after Richarlison's injury improved Tottenham's play and created the opportunity for the two goals that they scored. More problems now for Frank lampard's side who I think were very unresponsive in the game and failed to make changes to their play and tactics even after Tottenham made changes to theirs with Bissouma's introduction where they switched their formation to 3-5-2, and even after observing that the tactics which they entered into the game with was not given them the required or expected result.

Tottenham are currently enjoying their best start to the season under Conte, their supporters will be delighted with their current position on the EPL table.

If food shortages and price inflation hit. Agricultural HODL could become a viable business strategy.

Similar to being an early investor in bitcoin. Getting in early on agriculture HODL could be a good investment.
There is wisdom in this because even apart from inflation, a lot of other factors are contributing to food shortages including natural occurring disasters. Recently there is heavy flooding in my country and a lot of farm lands have been affected, this in the long run means that we are expecting food shortage if care is not taken. You can imagine the position that people who have stored up food produce are right now which is at an advantage and to sell at any price which they deem fit. Investment in agriculture is something to really consider especially right now. There is this popular Real Estate saying that I would like to relate to agriculture, "The best time to invest in agriculture was yesterday, the next best time is today for the future".

I don't mean to sound superstitious but where I'm from we believe that names have power and have an influence on how our children will act so we always try to give our children very good names. Currently because of the very unpredictable nature of any cryptocurrency, I wouldn't consider giving my child a name after a cryptocurrency yet, I would not want my child exhibiting and unpredictable behavior.

Say in the future when bitcoin has achieved stability, the name can be considered then but not currently.

Glad to see the blues frontline players intact with their rated form. Chelsea are getting better to shape after the former Brighton coach took over. Mason Mount recording 3 assists in his last 2 games while Pierre Aubameyang having score 3 goals in his last 3 games for the club. Remarkable stats set by the duo and Graham Potter unbeaten track continue and I don't see him in a hurry to lose a game presently.
No doubt Chelsea has been doing well since Graham Potter start at the club. they have played more like the Chelsea we used to know showing resilience. but currently the biggest challenge for the coach and Chelsea will be how to adjust to play without Reece James who most likely will be out for a while due to the injury he picked up during the Milan game , Fonfana out as well and then even Mason Mount that you mentioned may not play in full form because of the Issue with his thighs that prompted him to go for a scan. I didn't even mention Kante. Big concerns for the club.

can you choose crypto as full time corporate job?
The concept of a full time job these days that takes up all your time is highly discouraged even if it involves cryptocurrency. The ideal is having multiple sources of income to support your lifestyle and so as not to be so affected if one is affected.

I'm not really sure how to answer this but yes you can example like working on exchange or writing some blog or making video about crypto, The other way was working as Blockchain developer on some sector like Oil, Market, Food, etc and also being a lawyer or even marketing on some blockchain-based company
These are regular jobs that you have described having a fixed agreed sum as payment for your service either monthly, weekly or even daily. It may not be affected by the uncertainties of the market. It is different from when you choose to trade crypto as a full time job on your own.

With an impressive two goals to seal the victory for Brentford, Ivan Toney has helped his team Brentford move up very close to their today's opponent Brighton in the Premier League table to cover up for their previous match's poor performance against Newcastle United last week.
Ivan Toney should be called up to the national team to represent England in the world cup because he has been exceptional in front of goal this season for Brentford. He has a 100% penalty record and then the technique he showed in converting that first assist into a goal shows that he has the quality to compete with Harry Kane or support him in the world cup. The Brentford goalkeeper Raya also deserved some commendation, he made some pretty good saves. Brighton played well, but Brentford defended well and looked more dangerous going to goal...good game generally, I enjoyed it.

ASUU DON CALL OFF ITS STRIKE
The academic staff union of universities has bowed to pressure, obey court order and suspended its 8 months strike. From the official release from ASUU, e dey clear say FG never settle them but court order don force them to suspend the strike.
The federal government used the judiciary arm of government to bully them back to work, if they had not complied that would have been a breach of court and they would have been arrested as criminals. ASUU merely suspended the strike but the issue they have for the federal government has not yet been resolved. What this means for every Nigerian students is that the possibility  of a strike has not been eliminated and that they may go back home soon if the federal government do not quickly comply.

I think he is an excellent goalkeeper. Throughout the matches, he put in an incredible performance. A 1-0 loss to Manchester United was due to Francis Uzoho's 11 saves and one goal conceded in the 93rd minute. The man of the match award was given to him even though his team lost. It was a performance that even Ronaldo was captivated by.
Manchester united had over 30 shots in the game before they were able to pass Uzoho who said he had praying for that opportunity. He definitely made an impression on everyone, His coach, Manchester United coach ten Hag, and all players and spectators. If his team don't turn him to their first choice keeper, I think it will not be long before another team maybe one in a better and more competitive league will come for him. I hope it does happen that way for him, because a goalkeeper like that who can be the difference deserves a better team. Had Mctominay not gotten a goal, it would have been a perfect game for him.

If we had an exact idea of what we can do to make the price of bitcoin go up quickly, I am sure we will be doing it already.
Time, just be patient.
True! and even when bitcoin starts going up...don't get too comfortable thinking that it will never go back down again. There will always be upward and downward movement until somehow the price becomes stable. We all just have to be patient and dedicated to bitcoins, time is just all it will take.

In the last 10 years the history of bitcoin a lot has definitely happened. A lot of crypto made millionaires have emerged from the cryptocurrency environment while a lot of people who were millionaires from crypto currently are no longer millionaires all as a result of the choices they made. Fact is in the next 10 years a lot will also happen in this cryptocurrency space, new millionaires will emerge while some people who are currently millionaires will no longer be millionaires by then, the position we will be is dependent on the decisions that will make today and consecutively before that time. Make good decisions, acquire more cryptocurrency and keep Hodling for as long as you can.

I don't know how long Omonia can resist, but Manchester United are playing well so far... Although halfway through the first half, they've taken 12 shots...
Marcus rashford has been clinical today hitting the target a couple of times but being denied by the Nigerian goalkeeper Uzoho who has replaced the first team keeper of the team. He has been the difference in this game and has stopped Manchester United from entering into the second half with any goal.
Omonia had like two good chances to be ahead but because of some stingy play they couldn't utilise the opportunity they had which might be the best one they will have in this game.

This Arsenal team is slowly becoming a strong team. A win like that with no convincing performance is a sure way to greatness.
We should have been in the champions League but were denied by Tottenham Hotspur. Just as we are showing I expect us to prove to everyone that we are bigger than this Europa League and deserve a chance next season in the champions League. We have eleven wins out of twelve games in all competition, that's a good record for Arterta.
2075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: October 13, 2022, 04:22:33 PM
Liverpool are a weak opponent for Manchester City in form. Liverpool is now in tenth place in the points table. Their performance is not good in the last three matches.
Liverpool's last performance in the champions League this week was way better than Manchester city's so I wouldn't quite say that their performance in the last three game has not been good. Klopp even after their UCL game where they trashed the opposition Rangers by seven goals, boasted that he was ready to face Manchester city so we are all looking forward to the weekend.

There is also something always about Liverpool whenever they get to play against Manchester city, they come alive! and the rivalry between both coaches is always on display. My opinion is Liverpool have a defence that can hold Manchester city if they play very composed football and also have an attack that can hurt and try the Manchester city defenders something that we have not seen from most teams this premier League season as Manchester city always get to dominate the game. In the best interest of arsenal we hope that Liverpool can either draw with Manchester city or even win them so they could stop chasing us from behind.

Thomas Tuchel has a heavy responsibility because we all know that the strategy that was applied at chelsea made them get a crushing defeat this season,
Its been an unfortunate season for Tuchel in EPL, but it can't be argued that Tuchel is still a very good coach. The reason he was relieved of his duties in Chelsea was more because of the fact that the new management and him had different visions for the future of the club, so he had to be changed. If it was just because of his unlucky run, then you would agree with me that even the likes of Klopp with his poor premier league performance this season would have been quickly changed. Although Tuchel has no experience managing a national team, the experience he has gathered over the years from coaching FC Augsburg II, Mainz 05, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea
can be beneficial.
2077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling - Do you have winning limits???? on: October 13, 2022, 01:47:53 PM
I used to have limits on winning, if I was able to make the win I just quit it for the day.
You were a more disciplined gambler, and staying that way would have been better for you.

Finally today even after achieving my limits on winning, I went for higher winning. What happened is loss of entire funds in the wallet.
Your inability to stay disciplined and greed pushed you above caution. It is good thing that you learnt your lesson immediately by seeing the result of indiscipline in gambling which can be a potential loss of funds. If you didn't loose, I think you would have been encouraged to even want to get more by increasing your winning limit. Constantly increasing your winning limit is dangerous and you can become a problem gambler before you realize.
2078  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it good that the Bitcoin community acts like a cult? (Podcast) on: October 13, 2022, 12:09:45 PM
Reading the topic of this discussion OP, I had to go check out the typical characteristics of a cult group, so I can on my own compare it with the characteristics of this community to see if there is a similarity. These are some of the characteristics I could find;
Quote
The group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment.

The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.

The group is preoccupied with making money.

Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.

Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group.

Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.

Now comparing those characteristics;
Quote
The group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment.
Can we say this is Satoshi?

Quote
The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
I don't think there is any strong rule that you must bring people to the forum.

Quote
The group is preoccupied with making money.
We love money yes, but it is not the primary purpose of this forum, I believe the primary objective here is for knowledge and not money.

Quote
Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
Almost all sorts of questions and enquiries to know more are entertained on this forum, we are all here to learn.

Quote
Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group.
The forum is a free place, you decide the time you want to be active.

Quote
Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.
Privacy is key, and even though we are in the same forum, it is still often advised that you still exercise caution with other members.

In conclusion, there is a reason why there is the word ''community'' and the word ''cult''. IMO while they may share some similarities, the two word do not exactly refer to the same thing. Cult is the extreme of a community.

I like what I saw in Tottenham today ...
They almost lost concentration halfway and that would have cost them the complete three points, it's a good thing they were able to hold on to their winning to the last minute. they now top the table with a very good chance of qualifying for the next stage after their next game.

For Barcelona after spending so much and giving us hope that the team is back to glory days with the addition of some key players, they are still struggling to be relevant in the champions League, how disappointing the result of their game for both the players and the supporters of the club. Their hope of qualifying for the next stage is very slim and now dependent on inter Milan loosing against Viktoria Plzen. Some of the players in the club who by all means have wanted to avoid the Europa League may soon find themselves playing there because of their current situation that they've not been able to put themselves together.

I signed up on Bybit through an ad that says free 1500$ for first depositors and after clicking I was forced to make first deposit and I later find out that the free 1500$ is for futures trading and you still need to trade futures with your money,  why can't the ad says free 1500$ for futures trading? It's same with Bitgert...
There is something called marketing strategy where a company may highlight something enticing from their terms and condition and those who are lazy to follow through reading and actually understanding the complete terms and conditions, may be fooled. This is money we are talking about here you don't expect them to just make the process of getting it as easy as it seems, you have to do something for them for them to do something for you that's how it works, nothing goes for nothing.

Next time to avoid being fooled, be sure to read through completely the terms and conditions of any exchange you want to use before you sign up, don't simply be lured by the promise of money.
