Only one game was played this evening:

Fulham 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers

If Fulham had won the game tonight they would have been joint 5th with Newcastle but right now they are just two points behind them and just three points behind Tottenham who sit in a Champions League spot. Brighton have got games in hand which if they will will be just one point behind 4th placed Tottenham.

At this stage of the season for both Fulham and Brighton to be fighting for a Champions League position is a massive achievement.

Here are the games taking place in the Round of 16 on Thursday 9th March 2023:

1. FC Union Berlin vs Union Saint-Gilloise
Bayer Leverkusen vs Ferencvaros
Roma vs Real Sociedad
Sporting Lisbon vs Arsenal
Juventus vs SC Freiburg
Manchester United vs Real Betis
Sevilla vs Fenerbahce
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Feyenoord

Anthony played well when he came on as a substitute, he nearly set up Rashford for a goal before he scored his goal but he needs to be consistent and he must have more of an end product. Anthony cannot just run at defenders and then not provide the perfect cross or assist, he has to do more otherwise he will continue being substituted.

Even though they had a bad first half, Manchester United went on to dominate the second half and won the game. As a team they seem to have found a very good combination and balance as they have players with pace that frighten opposition such as Rashford, Anthony and Garnacho while they also have Casemiro, Fernandes, Varane, Shaw, Dalot and Martinez who show composure.

In the commentary during the game yesterday they said Manchester United were the only team left in the top 5 divisions in European leagues which could still theoretically win the quadruple 

Have you tried making a transaction with your card? From what I have read in previous posts maybe there is a possibility the balance was added on the actual card but the website and customer account does not show it. It seems the issue was never fixed as in the case mentioned by NotATether therefore the only way to be sure is for you to make a purchase using the card to see if it goes through or if it gets declined.

Here are the results from the games that took place this evening:

FC Midtjylland 0-4 Sporting Lisbon FT Agg:1 - 5
Monaco 2-3 Bayer Leverkusen AET Agg:5 - 5 Bayer Leverkusen win 5-3 on penalties.
Nantes 0-3 Juventus FT Agg:1 - 4
PSV Eindhoven 2-0 Sevilla FT Agg:2 - 3
1. FC Union Berlin 3-1 Ajax FT (Agg 3 - 1)
Manchester United 2-1 Barcelona FT (Agg 4 - 3)
Roma 2-0 Red Bull Salzburg (Agg 2 - 1)
Rennes vs Shakhtar Donetsk is in to extra-time and the score is 1-0 on the night and 2-2 on aggregate.

After going in at half-time 0-1, Manchester United scored 2 second half goals to knock Barcelona out of the Europa League. Ajax, Monaco and Roma are out.

If anybody does deposit funds they could end up having issues where the account area shows they were not received but could have been credited. Either way, any service being provided has to up to standard clearly they are having problems. They need to post addressing the issues raised here. I also noted they logged in last night and did not post but they might have sent a PM to Anubis123.

Hopefully the OP will at least try to sort out the website issues which are stopping from balances showing even after deposits are being made. Maybe that is what has happened in the case of Anubis123. It is simply not good enough for a service provider to not fix an issue such as this even after you highlighted it and the OP manually updated your balance twice.

Whether it is a one man business or not there is no justification for lack of customer care. In my opinion, at this stage it would be premature to call this a scam. It seems more a case of it being a combination of sub-standard communication and website infrastructure issues. I hope the OP will post here to comment and update about the issues being mentioned.

These are the results from the games played yesterday:

Eintracht Frankfurt 0-2 Napoli
Liverpool 2-5 Real Madrid

From being 2-0 ahead after just 14 minutes, somehow Liverpool managed to get to half-time at 2-2 and then lost the game 2-5. It was a disaster as far as Liverpool were concerned because even if they manage to win in Spain they will probably not be able to be beat Real Madrid on aggregate.

These are the results from the games played this evening:

Inter Milan 1-0 FC Porto 
RB Leipzig 1-1 Manchester City

At this stage I would still give the benefit of the doubt and say their absence and delay to service could be related to other issues. For example, if they are effectively a one person operation and that one person is taken ill or something has happened to them, then there could be exceptional circumstances.

If I was going through what you or any other depositor was going through maybe I would have a different opinion but right now I think it is too early to call it a scam or say they ran off. If they do not make a statement soon regarding what happened they will have themselves to blame if their account receives several negative tags.

We now have 16 entries that have been accepted in to the competition but there is still time to get your entry in because the Carabao Cup final takes place on Saturday 26th February 2023.

Most of the entrants have Manchester United to win and that is understandable as they are favourites but Newcastle United will try their best to cause an upset: You can check the entries here

I hope the issues you mentioned are server related and hope there nothing sinister happening here.

If you have not already sent a PM, you should send one explaining the issue but please keep in mind that his profile shows he has not visited the forum for around 8 days. If you send a PM maybe he will receive an alert in his inbox notifying him of a message: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=3521103

That page does not seem to be working with a 404 page not found notice. I looked around for a support email address and there was one listed at the bottom of their website.

When you say chat support do not respond I presume you refer to the live chat button on their website. If you wanted to send them an email you can do it here: support@coinpaycard.net

Though it is fairly obvious what has happened at The Rock Trading exchange and it is inevitable they will face scrutiny while investigations take place, investors have to ask themselves why they allowed their crypto to be deposited at any exchange rather than on their own devices such as desktop software. Every now and again an exchange falls in to trouble and investors regret their actions only after the event but by then it is too late to do anything about it.

Apart from the manner in which they withheld funds belonging to Coinfan, The Rock Trading had a very good reputation in this forum and if they had managed to return the funds in a manner that was acceptable to both Coinfan and Rock Trading, then they both could have moved on. Exactly what happened at Rock Trading can only be explained after their CFO (eliale) posts to explain or after the Italian authorities put out a statement.

If there have been problems with finances at Rock Trading and they used customer funds/deposits to try to plug those financial holes without consent then there will have to be a legal case to answer and we all would expect criminal charges to be brought against the owners and operators of the exchange.

RESULTS:

Manchester United 3-0 Leicester City  
Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 West Ham United

Tottenham jump up to 4th place in the Premier League table and push Newcastle United in to 5th. West Ham remain in the relegation zone. Manchester United beat Leicester City and keep up their pursuit of the title as they are just 3 points behind second placed Manchester City and 5 points behind leaders Arsenal.

Here is the current Premier League table:

It is half-time at Old Trafford, Manchester United are winning 1-0. Leicester City have played very well and attacked Manchester United at every opportunity. If De Gea was not playing at his very best Manchester United would be losing, he made some very good saves.

I do not know where you obtained that information from but if it is true Boehly trusted Potter enough to allow him to carry out recruitment, then it stands to reason he will not sack him. As for Felix, it is a loan move costing £10m until the end of the season and he would make a good recruitment for any team trying to push for a top four finish. Having said all that, Chelsea are in big trouble this season, they need to have damage limitation trying to finish the season as high as possible and then try to make a fresh start from next season onwards.

The final game of the yesterday ended: Newcastle United 0-2 Liverpool

Newcastle United suffered a massive defeat at home to Liverpool because it seems as though they will be up against at least 4 teams that are in the chasing pack for a top three finish and they dropped points at home. Liverpool are trying to get momentum as they aim for a top four finish but they are simply inconsistent, I would be surprised if they made it there this season.

These are the games taking place today:

Manchester United vs Leicester City 
Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United

There are important games being played today. If Tottenham win they will leapfrog Newcastle United in to 4th place. If Manchester United win they will be just 3 points behind second placed Manchester City and just 5 points behind league leaders Arsenal.


I recall Chelsea owner Todd Boehly making a statement which included he would not sack Potter this season regardless of where they finished the season because he had appointed him as a long term coach and he would be given time. If Tuchel had remained Chelsea coach they would not be facing these issues.

Boehly has managed to sell players for £59m (which is €67m or $71m) as they were not in his long term plans but he has spent £542m (which is €611m or $653m) on players this season since taking over. Chelsea are simply are not performing well but there cannot be any questions asked about the intent of the new owners who have spent freely to buy players, instead his mistake was to appoint Potter at the wrong time. If an owner spends a record amount of money on players in the winter transfer window it means he is serious about his ownership and wants success for the club.

My only question would be, how many of those players did Potter want and how many were purchased without his consent, approval and/or knowledge.

Potter did well on a tight budget at Brighton just as Moyes did well at Everton for a decade but when he replaced Ferguson at Manchester United he was not given time and he was simply not good enough for the job because the job was too  big for him. If he was given time then maybe he could have turned it around but he was sacked. If Potter is given time he might be able to do something at Chelsea next season, he needs time to get the players playing the way he wants.

Rebuilding the Chelsea team will take years, I cannot see then winning the Premier League again for the foreseeable future. They will need more than a cash injection, they will need a competent manager that will be given time. I do not know if the owners will sack Potter at the end of the season but buying players is one thing but having a manager to bring out the best in them is another.

More results from the games played today:

Brentford 1-1 Crystal Palace
Brighton and Hove Albion 0-1 Fulham
Chelsea 0-1 Southampton
Everton 1-0 Leeds United
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Manchester City
Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Bournemouth

The bottom three clubs all won today with Everton winning at home against relegation facing Leeds. Bournemouth won away at Wolves and Southampton ended up winning away at Chelsea. Not only is Chelsea manager Potter under intense pressure because of their form and league position but today Azpilicueta suffered a head injury. The referee stopped the game for around 10 minutes until he was taken off in a stretcher.

At the top half of the table, Fulham continue to impress as they push for a top finish. Arsenal won today but Manchester City only managed a draw therefore a two point gap stands between them at the top of the table. The evening kick-off game today is between Newcastle United and Liverpool.

Now that all 4th Round ties have been settled, here is the full fixture list for the 5th Round of the FA Cup:

Tuesday 28th February 2023
Stoke City vs Brighton and Hove Albion   
Leicester City vs Blackburn Rovers   
Fulham vs Leeds United   
Bristol City vs Manchester City

Wednesday 1st March 2023
Southampton vs Grimsby Town   
Burnley vs Fleetwood Town   
Manchester United vs West Ham United   
Sheffield United vs Tottenham Hotspur

From the top half of the draw Manchester City have to be favourites to life the trophy and from the bottom half of the draw Manchester United and Tottenham are probably favourites.
