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.
They will of course be absolutely delighted, this victory moves them level on points with 2nd place Manchester City, at least until the Cityzens play tomorrow, and 7 points above 4th place Chelsea, but the blues have two games in hand; in general it is a good start for Spurs, and i am pretty sure quite a lot of their fans didn't believe they will be this good at the start of the season. Everton on the other hand are slowly heading back to their struggles of last season, with just two wins this season after ten games, it might just be a matter of time before they find themselves in another relegation battle. It hasn't worked well for Lampard as Everton coach, i fear he would be sacked very soon, the club is static, there is no progress, he has to walk.

At last dem call off dis strike. I dey very happy for Naija students o. But d painful part now be say almost everybody wey been don enta school during Covid-19 go add extra two years for school now. One from Covid-19 and now anoda one from ASUU, 4 years course don turn 6 years now and 5 years course don turn 7 years. Afta dem finish school now, dem go say job wey dey available na for 25 years and below afta you don suffer finish for school. Dis naija mata ehn, God go see us through. E go better one day.
E no go better one day, e go better when we join hands together vote out this evil men wey sit down on top the progress and development of our country, the time for us to put ourselves on the right part to all round development in our country is in 2023, i they fear say if we miss this opportunity, we fit no get am again.

If Nigeria never make you talk "omoh" reach 10 times in a day, then maybe you no be Nigerian, Grin sometimes after you talk "omoh" you go shake head join am, it is pitiful, i keep wondering how person get mind they campaign for Tinubu and Atiku, upon all the red flags wey they fly around their body, na wetin make me believe say Nigerians they inure to sufferings, and we can never look above tribal and religious differences to do the right thing.

Phil Foden has committed his long-term future to Manchester City by signing a new five-year contract. It’s a good one for Manchester city. We know how important he is to the club and the manager. In the last two seasons, he has become integral to Guardiola's team and recently passed 50 goals in Manchester City shirt. He has a lot of years and since he’s still playing under Guardiola, I know he’s going to improve and become one of the best.
Phil Foden is an absolutely unbelievable footballer, and tbh Manchester City are really lucky to have him and for him to extend his contract with them, for quite some years now City has become a club that big players find so easy to go to, and also to stay there for many years, extending their contracts when necessary, i can't remember the last time a player tried to force a move out of the club, except those that felt they were not having enough football time (like Sterling, Gabriel Jesus, etc).

Having said that, congratulations to Phil Foden, i am pretty sure it was somewhat easy for him to decide on this, City are a winning machine, and they are definitely certain to win trophies every season, he gets to work under the best manager in the world that constantly sees to his development, and he is also paid very well, so what more can he ask for.

We know sae our country bad, and all men wan japa with em and em family relatives for a better future and education. But at least em for d make sense if we d apply wisdom for wetin we d do, when we enter another peso land. Now, bringing in family relatives for UK don cast. Our body and plans don rest be that.
I no see anything wey they bad for this matter, it is all legal and documented, and no be say as a student wey get admission to study abroad you go come begin carry all your relatives, e no work like that, as far as i know you can only take either your spouse or your children with you, and you go first of all tell the school say dependant go follow you come, so that them to begin fill the necessary paper work. As you they talk say e cast so e come be like say na illegal matters. If them wan stop dependants accompanying foreign students (though i they sure say e no go happen), then e go be general something, and no be only Nigerians wey the thing go affect. I for like am if you for post the news link make we check am out ourselves.

But I saw that schedule postponed. If told to bet then I would choose Man City to win by half. They are just as busy because they play in UCL.
Which schedule/fixture is postponed? By the way, yesterday City had the opportunity to rest some of their star players for the game on Sunday, that is because they already had 9 points before yesterday's CL game, they knew they were definitely going to qualify, and by the end of the yesterday night when the other teams had played their own games, City confirmed their qualification to the next round mathematically, what they are only playing for in the CL is to finish in top spot, so you see City will even have some fresh players on Sunday.

Having said that, Liverpool are having a tougher group and they might lose quite a lot of energy in their game tonight against Rangers, the lineup is out and i see Salah is on the bench, i don't know if they are resting him, or if he is being benched for his bad form. Well all of this analysis might not matter on Sunday, these players are top professionals and they know what they need to do, Sunday will come and we'll see which team comes out on top.

Usually last season Mohamed Salah impressed many spectators, but his performance this season has decreased, maybe his condition is not good or maybe it is also affected by getting older so that the performance seems to be decreasing, Hopefully at the end of the season there will be a surprise from the Liverpool team.
The thing is, decline in form is somewhat normal with players, and it can be for quite a lot of reasons, there is no exact reason as to why a player is experiencing a dip in form, and in the case of Salah we cannot pinpoint a particular reason why he is not performing at the level we have come to know him for, it could prolly be because the entire team is performing badly, or it is a personal fault of his, but tbh he really has to step up, and this weekend against City is a perfect chance for him to do that.

Having said that, it is going to be difficult, City are in blistering form and Liverpool are not, in previous meetings between the two sides i always envisaged a strong contest, but this time around if i am to make my prediction known, i think City will win comfortably, like they did against Manchester United.

I don't really it will be useless knowing nothing about Bitcoin as the forum also have other topics of discussion.
Yes there are other sections of discussion (Politics and Society, Serious Discussion, etc), but this forum was created because Bitcoin was created, if there was no Bitcoin, there'd be no Bitcointalk forum, and tbh every user was allured to this forum because of Bitcoin, thus being here and knowing absolutely nothing about Bitcoin is pretty bad to say the least, i am not talking about the technicalities of it, but the very basic things about the network is imperative.

Having said that, i am pretty sure every one of us has a goal to own Bitcoin's, if we prolly cannot afford it now, then sometime in the future, thus if a user knows nothing about Bitcoin how are they going to use it when they get to own it, they will hand over their private keys to a scammer on a platter and lose it ASAP.
2089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: October 11, 2022, 12:23:44 PM
I as an Arsenal supporter of course expect Man City to drop points against Liverpool, but because Liverpool's performance has been very poor this season, I quite hope the Liverpool vs Man City match will end in a draw.
City always struggle to beat Liverpool at Anfield, in the past years City have always had a hard time whenever they came to the home of Liverpool, but this season is a good opportunity for City to win again at Anfield. Liverpool are not in the best shape, everybody knows they can play better than they are doing now, but it is not just happening for them, they also have more problems on their hands in this game and going forward as Luis Diaz and Arnold have both picked up injuries and will be unavailable for Liverpool for sometime.

Having said that, i think all the odds are definitely in City's favor to win Liverpool, and it is also possible that Liverpool could get humilated, City are a team that scores quite a lot of goals, and if they face a club lacking in morale and confidence, they can come all out at you like a pack of wolves and score goal and after goal, i sincerely fear that could happen to Liverpool on Sunday, Manchester United were on the receiving end of that two weeks ago.

According to the source, Inter are seriously interested in signing Nathan Ake from Manchester City.

Ake is playing regularly these days and it is mostly 90 minutes also. Considering that maybe Manchester City might think twice before selling him. On the other hand, they were nearly doing so in the previous transfer window while Chelsea were after him too. Manchester City have 5 centre-backs at the moment. All of them are solid players so losing Ake wouldn't be much sad for the team for sure. His market value isn't even much now (€25m).
Nathan Ake is a quite an intelligent footballer, he reads the game so perfectly and doesn't make any mistakes across 90 minutes, imo he is Pep Guardiola's most trusted central defender this season, and i am pretty sure the qualities i see in him are the same as what Pep sees because he is a regular starter this season, except when injured.

Having said that, City were close to losing him this summer as he was about to head back to his former club Chelsea because he lacked game time last season, well that deal did fall through and Ake is still at the Etihad, even the man himself admits he is happy he did not leave, and why won't he, he is playing nearly all the games and City are winning. About the interest from Inter Milan, i think it will be a very easy decision for Ake to make, City are a better club, with better players and have the greater opportunites to win trophies, so i can't see a reason why he would leave City for Inter Milan, and i also don't think City won't be too worried to lose Nathan, he has proved to be very important to Pep in the way he wants his team to play.

Well, that is something I don't understand. Why do people continue using Paypal services paying absurd fees and being bullied while they could simply adopt crypto which is decentralized and let us have total control over our money and transactions?
Crypto is not decentralized, that is a misconception, there are quite a lot of centralized cryptocurrencies that are just like the traditional system, with a central body controlling the affairs of the coin, and you know what happens when a user of that coin does something that they do not like: censorship, confiscation, blacklisting, coin freeze, and so many more; it is Bitcoin that is decentralized and allows you complete control and freedom of your money.
And even if customers justify they want to avoid the volatility of crypto market's currencies, they could use stablecoins in this case.
If they want to avoid volatility for inflation, then maybe they should prolly stick with traditional fiat system rather than stablecoins, both are centralized and do not give you control of your funds. There is no difference between hodling your money in your bank account or in stablecoins.

As per Aubameyang, it'll take him 20+games before he scores five or six or seven goals for Chelsea, they should get a striker that those it week in week out. They should have gone for Erling Haaland when they actually moved for him.
And how many of such strikers are currently in the market, willing to leaving their current teams to join you, what you must understand is that every club wants a lethal striker that can bang in goals every week, but most times those strikers might not be available for purchase and the club then has to made do with the next best option. Aubameyang is not a bad striker imo, he gets a few goals every now and then, and he is definitely not in the level of Haaland, but like i said earlier, Haaland for example was never willing to join Chelsea or any other club other than City, thus the rejected teams have to move on till they scout someone of similar abilities.

So far I still expect Aston Villa to be stronger under Gerrard, because at the time of Gerrard's arrival last season Aston Villa looked to be making promising progress this season.
I don't think so, or rather imo i didn't notice any sort of improvement for Aston Villa since Gerrard arrived as manager, they have been unconvincing and have struggled continuously, Gerrard's record as Villa boss isn't all that impressive too, IIRC he has managed around 35 premier league games and has lost 16 of them, that is not an encouraging record and that is why Villa have never been comfortable on the table since he has been manager, they have 8 points this season, just four more than the team in rock bottom, we might see them in that position sooner or later.

Humans are such weird animals. I mean, after reworking the post that hard, why not just write something new, ffs? And then to post it back on the same page it was taken from and expect nobody to notice? My thoughts are too unkind to share, so I'll just say: Wow! Grin
Belinda1732 prolly saw that lovesmayfamilis had earned three merits from their post in that thread and decided to put in their best abilities into reworking/paraphrasing it to see if they could earn some merits for themselves, if lovesmayfamilis could get three merits for the original post, then the paraphraser should get something, maybe half of it (1.5 isn't sendable, so 1 would've done Cool) for a job well done, they definitely couldn't believe in themselves to earn what they desperately sought through writing something new. Grin

Belinda1732 couldn't wait, the thread isn't a megathread so it was never going to ~15th page so they could prolly drop the plagiarism unnoticed, they had to post it back on the same page 1 and hope for luck, so like you i'd just say: wow! Grin

For this painter i don't think discovering this Bitcoin she received many years ago is going to be the end of her Bitcoin journey, i rather think things could just be starting with her, maybe it is just the beginning because i think she is going to fully seek for knowledge about Bitcoin, there are things that could happen to us in our lives that makes us want to know more, for her this should be one of such things, if this doesn't propel her to learn every basic thing about Bitcoin, then i don't know what will.

Thus i would not even be concerned about if she has sold the huge amount she just discovered she has, but rather how much more she'd be willing to buy going forward, she's definitely a new Bitcoiner in the block, and luckily for her she didn't discover how good the Bitcoin network is in the hard way, because she could have made one silly mistake and all that funds is gone, afterall it was just $50 eh.

What then can we do to restore the naira before it goes to debasement?
That one no really they our hands as citizens, i know say citizens they play their own part through microeconomics, but the main thing wey go get effect pass on the economy na macroeconomics, and the people wey they control that one na our government, based on how them make some of their economic policies, how them handle inflation, how them sort our production, import and export, etc, all of that they for government hand, and in the case of Nigeria so ehn, our government they renowned in making very bad decision, so i no know wetin be the fate of our currency/economy. Having said that, even before microeconomics go boom ehn, macroeconomics gats they okay, because na the effect go trickle down for the benefit of small and medium scale businesses (microeconomics).

Ronaldo has always be an unhappy man since the beginning of this season, I think many things makes him to feel that way. It will be better for Ronaldo if he will not be on the bench all the time , if Ronaldo is given more time to play I think the rate which scores goals will increase.
There is no player that will be comfortable or happy with a role on the bench, the disappointment even gets worse when it's a big player like Cristiano Ronaldo who has achieved everything there is to in world football, he of course deserves more respect that what he is getting, but i guess it is what it is, and he is fully aware of his situation in the club. The manager prefers other attacking options to him, and to be fair to Erik Ten Hag, the players he is selecting in attack have been delivering consistently for sometime now. Having said that, it is hard to say but Ronaldo may have to work extra hard to break back into the team, or if he can manage to get a new club then he should leave Old Trafford in January, but at the moment no club is interested in him.

I know this is open for exploitation and misuse, but large companies like PayPal has an obligation to protect their users from financial crimes.
I think the problem in this thread isn't about Paypal protecting itself or its users from financial crimes, i mean, every user on this forum will be happy if proven criminals have their funds confiscated and if they are censored by Paypal, but most of the problem here is some of the reasons as to why a Paypal user can get censored and their funds confiscated, some of which are really subjective reasons, like misinformation, unfit for publication, or harmful, etc, some of these things are subjective and for example what some of their users might consider good information, might be misinformation in Paypal's views, and they could get punished for it, even through their linked bank accounts. (Well that's before they changed their minds on this unnecessary terms of service anyway).
The thing about Bitcoin is this.... once you press the enter key to transfer the funds, it is gone... you cannot reverse that transaction...and this is advantageous for companies and individuals, where people buy something and then reverse the transaction... but on the other hand... if the receiver is a scammer and you want to reverse the transaction.... then that is impossible.  Roll Eyes
That is the responsibility people owe to their funds when they are users in the Bitcoin network.
2100  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Censorship resistance is underrated, move to bitcoin and #DeletePaypal on: October 10, 2022, 06:35:02 AM
I'm just thankful we have cryptocurrency and more exactly bitcoin nowadays, so Paypal has become obsolete since then, at least in my case.
I'm afraid Paypal isn't becoming obsolete, like you say, maybe for you because you prolly no longer use it, but mind you that Paypal has over 400 million users and still counting, thus it is pretty far from being obsolete. Bitcoin is perfect as a way to send and receive funds without censorship, that's if the user makes use of non-custodial wallets, but Bitcoin imo is still a rather young network and cannot make Paypal obsolete just yet. Even if people ditch Paypal for one obscene reason or the other, only a few of them will join the Bitcoin network as an alternative, they'd rather choose other 'popular' options to send and receive funds.

Having said that, Bitcoin's adoption will continually grow and users who prefer censorship resistant options will join the Bitcoin network, but i am afraid that users who worry about them being censored are fewer than those that do not.
