Manchester City is not far behind in the table. They are still in the corridors of power and to be honest with us, they are the most feared in the English premier League top 4 currently even when they are not at the top most position. We all know that the consistency of Manchester city is not in doubt.

Mamchester City, I knew have turn to b struggling instant Performance.  I think Manchester City overhyped Manchester City have decline so bad this season, they have no composure when it comes to playing matches against elite clubs. Pep Guardiola was worried regarding his team's stats and he's looking for means to resolves these challenges himself and the club currently face. The English Premier League title is up for grab and the best team wins. Arsenal and Liverpool are the club that are best suited for the race and they're not holding back other than implementing good scores in league matches.
It is likely that Manchester City will need a lot of stronger effort this season to win the title. Indeed, the decline in Manchester City performance is starting to be seen in the 3 matches they have played because they are having difficulty securing full points. In the match against Tottenham, Manchester City certainly had a bigger chance of securing 3 points, but in the end they failed again and now they are eliminated from the top 3. Arsenal have prepared themselves as well as possible from their failures in the previous season and this season they have a greater chance of winning the title if they can appear consistently in every match.
Manchester city was stronger last season than this season but this does not mean that they are now weak. It means they are a bit in a low performance than last season. I still applaud them though because it is not easy to lose players like Gundigon and Mahrez and yet they are still active and performing both in the local league and champions league.

But Manchester City has a coach who is quite qualified who is able to change their performance for the better and that is Pep Guardiola. We know that Pep Guardiola will not remain silent about the current situation, of course he will give many stronger directions in improving the game of his team in the upcoming matches in order to come back to winning ways. The fight for the title is still quite long and we'll just have to wait and see because Liverpool starts to disturb the peace at the top of the standing.
Pep is very dedicated to the Manchester city team and he has instilled in the players the same mentality of winning and dedication to work. I was amazed when Guardiola said that even if Manchester city would later be fined and relegated to championship by the authorities, that he is going with Manchester city. That is his level of commitment.

We all know the recent issue about the mixer status here in the forum. Crypto casino is also being use for money laundering by some criminals that’s why every casino has AML policy.

I’m just curious what will be the fate of crypto casino once money laundering activity from mixer will jump to casino now that mixer will not be advertised here which means it has less exposure. Is there any possibility that crypto casino will be seized by the government just like what happened to mixers in case they failed to screen the laundering activity?
Your reasoning and the post you dropped made it look like this forum is the only place that mixers can advertise in this world and since they are going to be banned here, it will be the end of mixers. No, that is not what is obtainable. To be frank with you, anyone who wishes to use mixers will still find them and use. The reason why mixers are advertising in BTT is not to let people know that there are mixers. It is just to sink their brands in the mind of many.
Also, know that mixer owners are going to find a new way to advertise, even here in the forum. Don't be surprised, 2024 has many surprising things for us and we should be very ready to accept them.

As about your fear, casinos are cool regulated and the percentage of people that will use casinos to act bad are small because of many policies and wagering requirements of casinos.

So sad to see that Manchester city couldn't win their match against Tottenham which has pulled them down to third position on the table. Both teams did brilliantly well and I wouldn't blame anyone for the draw on this match. Man City needs to add more commitment and try to win their upcoming matches so that they don't drop points anymore to keep them on track in the trophy race. Tottenham surprised me because I never expected such wonderful performance from them in this game.
Why feel sad? Man City still got 1 point at least, they also still have the chance to win the EPL title. Don't feel so worried, it is just the matchday 14 and we have many remaining matches. Although Man City must be in 3rd place, the point gaps with Arsenal and Liverpool are very small (1 & 3 points only). This draw even makes the race of the EPL title this season be more interesting.

Yes, it is better to focus on the next match. Man City will play against Aston Villa, it won't be an easy match because Aston Villa is quite strong team and the match will be held in Aston Villa home. Man City shouldn't miss 3 points anymore if they want to keep the chance for trophy race.



I don't know why anyone should be sad that Manchester city lost. I mean even Manchester City fans should even be considerate. Manchester city is gradually turning and dear and reputable English premier League to farmers like as we fondly call Lique one and even Bundes liga. The people that should be sad about City not having a win should be people that gambled it and nothing more.

I am comfortable seeing Manchester City in the third place but the point difference is not much. Only but one more match can place Manchester City back to the top.

So in my opinion, this season the chances of winning the title certainly belong to Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool. They will compete every week to maintain their ranking in the standings table. So last season Arsenal led the standings for a long time but in the end they failed and I don't want to see Arsenal doing the same thing this season. Arsenal must focus on their targets and they must play every match like a final in order to get  3 points.
This season has only one difference from the previous one which is Liverpool are doing better more than Manchester City tends to miss points or gunners doing good.
In fact Manchester City do miss points even in the previous years even vs weaker teams. Arsenal do pick the first spot for long time and finish by conceding defeats and lose the title. Even Liverpool aren't that perfect but they are way better than the previous season which should be an alert to Pep Guardiola and Arteta.
After all, a draw vs annoying Tottenham Hotspur shouldn't disappoint Manchester City for long.
Having Liverpool in the clear race for the English premier title is very commendable and I really like it. This is because in the race to win the English premier League, Liverpool is much more reliable than Arsenal to give Manchester city fight to the End. I do not think anyone will argue this.

Considering United just got a loss against Newcastle as well, it's quite possible that they will end up being fourth in the group, that seems like the likely result. Of course this depends on Bayern a bit as well, Bayern could just play the weak bench and not really care for the game, some young future potential players and all, which could definitely be a trouble for them if they are not careful, but most of the time it looks like we are going to end up with a good result one way or another.

I mean think about it, we are talking about a team that already guaranteed their first place, so who knows. Even with that case, I still feel like United may not end up getting a win, at best a draw, and I am sure that they are going to be have trouble, best case would be Europa I guess, second place is long gone if you calculate it, so it is not going to happen.
It is obvious to the blind how horrible Manchester United has been in the champions league this season. I mean their performance can be rated as fair in the English premier League but it is very poor in the champions league to the extent that I wished they gave another English club the opportunity to represent  Grin
Manchester United qualification has no much thing to do with Bayern Munich according to my own analysis. Manchester United can win Bayern Munich considering that Bayern has a whopping 13 points for themselves. Where the problem lies is, will Galatasary and Copenhagen agree to play draw?

Wow! It seems like Sevilla won't be able to qualify for Europa League knockout stage this time. Because to be able to do this they have to win against Lens. There is no other way to do it.

But can they? Honestly I'm not a believer here. Sevilla have been horrible throughout the group stage. They have got 0 win until now. It was almost like they were beating PSV home in their last game though. However that red card brought Sevilla's end very quickly by a big comeback from PSV. Lens aren't a competitor to be underestimated. They even beat Arsenal home and I wouldn't take them on against Sevilla for certain. But both teams to score could be a nice option to bet on.
What I have learnt about Sevilla is to write them out in any competition in this world but not to write them out in the Europa League competition. I have made the mistake of underrating them twice in the Europa League even when they were also not in form but they proved me wrong. Sevilla might be playing boring matches now, just allow them to mistakenly have a place in the Europa League, you will see a different Sevilla entirely.

It is Joa' felix intervention that made the difference in the first 45 minutes at the camp Nou tonight. It has been a fierce battle tonight as Barcelona took the lead in the 28 minute after a lovely pass from Raphinha to jao felix to put Barcelona ahead in the game though Barcelona have lost a couple of good chances tonight

 but I think they are looking great tonight as they keep creating more chances in front of the athletico Madrid goal.Athletico Madrid have also done well tonight by not allowing Barcelona increase the deficit tonight because that would have been a disaster for them and would thrown them in chaos, as it is right now they still have a chance of coming back into this game and that's what's gonna make the second half more interesting.
The battle is fierce and I must confess the match has been intensive from the blowing of the starting whistle till this time. It is as if this is El Classico and if real examination is done, we can attest that this meeting is more interesting than some El classico recently.
There is one thing I like about football and that is the fact that history is always honoured. When the match started I had thought that Joa Felix will be the one to destroy his former place because that is how it often happens in football and as much as I guessed, I wasn't disappointed. This is the joy and vibe of football. A very interesting match and I am anticipating a full time draw match

The drama of six goals decorated the Man City vs Tottenham match

Tottenham dramatically managed to hold Manchester City to a draw with a tight score of 3-3 which was held at the Etihad Stadium. Chasing goals occurred in this match. Manchester City's three goals each came from Son Heung-min's suicide and the actions of Phil Foden and Jack Grealish.

Thanks to this result, Man City dropped to third place in the standings with 30 points. Meanwhile, Tottenham is stuck in 5th place with 27 points.

It was a beauty to behold in this fixture seeing how these goals keep coming back to back from both team especially Tottenham, I must commend them for not throwing in the towel so fast, they really played as a unit despite their poor performance in the first half that nearly cost them this all three points. As for Manchester city I think they really have to work on their defence, you can't be scoring much goals in one game and also concede almost the same number of goal you scored this kind of situation can be very frustrating for the for the players upfront because you have to preserve the lead but all the same I must say it was classy performance tonight from both sides.
If there is anything that gave me the most just this Sunday, it is the Manchester city Vs Tottenham match. I must commend Totenham for having a fighting spirit. Not every club will be able to have a point in a match that Manchester city is leading you in the second half. If there is any team I have to give the award of resilience this Sunday, it is Tottenham. They refused to be intimidated or broken by Manchester United and they performed their best in the second half with high pressing and commitment. They deserve even more than the 1 point, but considering that got the point from the Citizens, it is satisfying.


But the result does not very well reflect how the game went for Newcastle. They have been one step ahead almost full time of the game and it was more a question of time when they are going to score. Manchester United is good enough to also score and it is not like this game should have ended like 4-0 or something like that, but considering the whole distance of the game this was a highly justified win for Newcastle.
Newcastle dominated the entire game and initially it was clear that this would be a difficult game for Manchester United and, frankly, Newcastle could have scored more. With this victory they have significantly improved their position in the standings and if City can defeat Tottenham today, then Newcastle will be able to get closer to the Champions League zone. It is very difficult to beat City at the Etihad, for Tottenham, even a draw would be a good result.

Newcastle is back in business and Manchester United in my opinion is out of business. I know they are neighbors in the table, but it is not only the result that makes me think this way, it is also how Newcastle dominated them and how Manchester United could not fight back. They really don't have a place in the top four or top six if they remain in this condition.

The other teams aren't sleeping. Tottenham with a surprising draw against Manchester City and Aston Villa saved a point as well. Maybe Manchester United can get most of their points in their home games, but I doubt it.
I was wondering what exactly  is the problem of Manchester United. When Erik Ten Hang took over the coaching of the club last season, he capitalized on strength and high pressing and he got results. This season, Manchester United has forgotten everything about high pressing. No energy or zeal to win. Tottenham went home with a point today because they applied energy.

I am looking forward to see how Real Madrid succeeds in making the transition especially in their midfield. Bellingham was a present from heaven for them because he is filling so many gaps that Real Madrid feared could become a problem for them. But now he partially solves the striker problem, also adds strength to the midfield and also takes on responsibility for some tasks in the defense. I guess there is nothing else you can ask a player to do for the team. But Kroos will also be gone in the near future and his passing was one of the best I have ever seen in football. The accuracy is from a different planet and it still impresses me how calm he is with the ball.
Real Madrid has succeeded in building their future midfielders. We can see there are many young midfielders in Real Madrid squad. Bellingham is one of the most shining young midfielder of Real Madrid, he already contributed very well since his arrival in Real Madrid. But I think Bellingham doesn't fix the problem of striker problem totally, he is just a temporary solution. Bellingham position is still an attacking midfielder, he doesn't change to be a real striker. I sometimes feel worried about how long Bellingham can be productive in scoring goals. I realize he often gets difficulty to score goals in big matches, specifically when they play against the teams with strong defense. So, Real Madrid is still in urgent to sign a pure striker, Mbappe should be the real solution.

Yes, Kroos is one of the best midfielders in football history. When Kroos decides to leave Real Madrid, it will be a very sad moment for Real Madrid fans. Kroos isn't only a midfielder who has great ability in attacking but he is also good in defense. His accuracy in delivering assists is impressive, no one doubts it. We must always remember the trio Casemiro-Kroos-Modric, these legend midfielders of Real Madrid will be unforgettable.






The transition in the midfield position of Real Madrid is already on the process as we've seen the club manager Carlo Ancelotti rotate his club in the best ways that we can ever imagine. Luka Modric and Toni Kroos I think are definitely gonna leave the club at the end of the season after a very successful spell with Real Madrid but their departure will only be felt by the Real Madrid fans because of their very important impact to the club's success in the last one decade and not because of the how difficult it'll be replace them because at the moment, the club already gave young midfield players that'll perfectly replace the duo at the club.

Federico Valverde, Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Jude Bellingham are already four of the best midfielders I Europe and have already learnt a lot from the veteran duo of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. When they leave next summer, I don't think they'll be missed rather their successors are going to take the club to greater heights.

Al-Hilal definitely showed the world that they are the far superior team and they won the title with this game. I know that people will say the season is not over yet and Al-Nassr still has a mathematical chance to win it and all that, but I honestly believe that with this game I believe that the game is over and the season is over as well.

They will not end up losing to anyone that commonly, they will mostly get wins, and I doubt they would even lose 7 points until the season as well, they may not get like 2 losses and a draw up until the end of the season from here on out. That is important of course, and they may just guaranteed their title for the season, and even if they do lose some, Al-Nassr will not end with 100% win rate.
It is clear that Al Hilal is the only strongest club in the Saudi Pro League, no club can compete with Al Hilal's strength. Even though Al Nassr also looks strong with European star players, this is not enough to match the strength of the squad Al Hilal is very worthy if Al Hilal can win the title this season considering its consistency outstanding.

Yesterday's match was proof that Al Nassr cannot compete with Al Hilal in the race for the Saudi Pro League trophy because now Al Hilal has maintained quite a distance with Al Nassr, chasing 7 points, of course it is very difficult for Al Nassr, but even though Al Nassr cannot win 100% at least Al Nassr has tried hard to show their best this season and has not experienced any decline.
Al Hilal for the past ten years has not just been the most consistent club in Saudi Arabian League but also one of the strongest clubs in the Asian Football Confederation as they've won the AFC Champions League title in two of the last four seasons as well as qualifying to the final of the competition last season before been defeated by Japanese club Urawa Red Diamonds. The current champions of Saudi Arabia without doubt has been the most consistent team in the Saudi Pro League this season but I was expecting more from Al Nassr than the performance they delivered on Friday night.

Losing by a three goals to nil to Al Hilal was a very embarrassing result to Al Nassr and that's because of the fact that they're regarded as the only team that's gonna challenge the league champions for the title this season after impressive start to the league season. Cristiano Ronaldo who's the leading scorer in the league couldn't help his club to avoid defeat in the game even when he played the who 90 minutes of the game. Al Hilal's win now takes them to seven points above second placed Al Nassr and that I think will make it very difficult for Al Nassr to catch up with them

Bayern Munich match was postponed due to heavy snow. Like that Bayern Munich will remain second until the end of 2023 thought and Union Berlin will remain the last team in the ranking. It is hard to reschedule it before 2024 unless they want to cut holidays?

I know that Leverkusen's current performance is good, it's just that in terms of conditions, Bayern is still an unchangeable favorite, especially with the hegemony they always create in every season they always run, so indeed Bayern remains the main favorite to win the Bundesliga.
Bayer Leverkusen has to win the hardest games in Bundesliga if they want to finish first. By these matches, I mean Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig mainly. Bayer Leverkusen is playing home and they are favourite according to bookies. It will be interesting to see them winning this match and continue to challenge Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga title Wink
Bayern Munich's proposed home game against Union Berlin yesterday was postponed because of the extreme level of snow falling in Munich overnight. But that can be an opportunity for Bayer Leverkusen to capitalize on and extend their lead at the top of the table to five points. The league leaders host fifth placed Borussia Dortmund this evening and a win for Xabi Alonso's men will further increase their chances of finishing the year at the top of the league table, a prediction that very few persons would've predicted at the start of the season.

The away team Borussia Dortmund are a very good side who are capable of beating the league leaders if they play to their full strength but considering the performance of the two teams since the start of the season, I'll be banking in Bayer Leverkusen to win the game or at worst share points with Borussia Dortmund.

Today's match between Bournemouth and Aston Villa at the Vitality Stadium is crucial for both teams. Aston Villa have been in great form this season, currently sitting in 4th place in the Premier League standings and coming off a great win over Tottenham Hotspur. Bournemouth, on the other hand, have struggled and are currently 16th in the league, although they secured a win against Sheffield United in their last game. Despite Bournemouth's recent win, Aston Villa are considered the stronger team and are favored to win. However, Bournemouth will likely put up a strong fight at their home ground. Aston Villa will be aiming for three points to continue their bid for a top four finish in the league. I think Aston Villa can beat Bournemouth 2-1.
Playing against Bournemouth at the Vitality stadium is one of the difficult tasks in the English Premier League because the club have a good record playing at home more than they do when they're playing away from home and that's why I think their game against Aston Villa which will kickoff in less than 15 minutes later is definitely gonna be an interesting game to watch. The away team Aston Villa has been in on an impressive form since the start of the season and are surprisingly occupying the fourth position in the English Premier League table. Aston Villa I think will win the game and the fact that Ollie Watkins whose fitness before the game was still in check has been selected to start the game gives Aston Villa more chances of grabbing all three points from the game
I don't know how long I will have to see Man United like this and I think if there is no change then this season will be a nightmare for Man United. Sometimes I hope that Man United will suffer consecutive defeats so that Ten Hag will be kicked out of his position because I think Ten Hag is incompetent in handling Man United. He had spent a lot of funds, some of them even turned out to be wasted purchases but until now there are no signs that Man United will get better.
If United doesn't buckle up, they might well fall from the top this season. Erik Ten Hag have succeeded in making Manchester United to become an average club in areas of performance and major tournaments. The supporters are tired of the present state of Manchester United this season, they keep on repeating their poor performance over and over again in matches. Watching them lose yesterday was pure humiliation and this is probably not what everyone thought could happen because Manchester United are on the elite side and losing horribly to Newcastle was not in the expectation.
There's no doubt to the fact that Manchester United is currently not one of the strongest teams in England again and from every visible evidence, they've lost the fear factor that comes with the name of the club when Sir Alex Ferguson was the manager of the the club. Erik Ten Hag's tactical approach isn't what the club needs right to overturn their their current poor performance and that's why I think the club needs to sack him. They need a manager that's good in man management of the team players and that I think will significantly improve the team's performance
2111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: December 03, 2023, 01:41:47 PM
PSG is leading and I doubt they would be that much impacted by that red card of their main goalkeeper,they have the substitute goalkeeper as good as their main one and their players compared to Le Havre are of another planet,if they manage to miss not winning this game I can understand it as they are with 10 players yet I don't believe this will be the case.I don't believe this will be the case as they know very well that winning this game can give them a very big boost to their title fight and they would be 4 points ahead of Nice which honestly after seeing the game of yesterday I have not seen a more ugly football played.
Le Havre couldn't profit from the one player down in PSG squad without counting also the injured player that left two minutes before the red card and the change made to replace the goalkeeper. PSG started hard the game but Kylian Mbappe scored the first goal as usual. The game is still in the first half but 4 points difference from Nice will make PSG less stressed comparing to Nice which lost their game yesterday vs Nantes by one goal. It is funny to see Nice holding a good record without a defeat before that game and they were taken down by a mid-table team..

The game is currently in the 70th minute and Paris Saint Germaine are still leading by a goal to nil. The home side Le Havre isn't even pressing PSG like a team that's one man down instead, the French champions have made more attacking moves in the game than any host team. With the way the game is currently going, I'll be very surprised to see PSG drop any point from this game. Kylian Mbappe once again has proven that he worths all the hypes he's getting as one if the most prolific attackers in the whole of Europe as his only goal in the game has been the difference between the two teams.
Nice losing to Nantes is not that surprising because Nice, even though they had time to be leaders of the standings, but they are not a productive team and were behind since the first half Nice were unable to equalize the score or score more goals to maintain the narrow point difference with PSG, and it was tough for Nice to return to the top of the standings.

PSG is leading and I doubt they would be that much impacted by that red card of their main goalkeeper,they have the substitute goalkeeper as good as their main one and their players compared to Le Havre are of another planet,if they manage to miss not winning this game I can understand it as they are with 10 players yet I don't believe this will be the case.I don't believe this will be the case as they know very well that winning this game can give them a very big boost to their title fight and they would be 4 points ahead of Nice which honestly after seeing the game of yesterday I have not seen a more ugly football played.

With the first half already over and they still leading the score, maybe PSG will change their strategy in the second half by being more defensive and trying to be effective in counter-attacks, and my prediction is that Mbappe will try to score his second goal in this match to secure 3 points so that PSG is even stronger at the top of the standings. as their rivals suffered their first defeat which gave PSG a huge advantage.
Nantes without doubt has been performing pretty well in the French Ligue 1 since the start of the league and that's why they're currently in the first half of the league table but I didn't expect them to beat a Nice team that's been the second most consistent team in the French Ligue 1 this season. Like you rightly said, I was of the opinion that Nice will give Paris Saint Germaine a very strong battle for the contention of who wins the league title this season but with their recent results, Paris Saint Germaine are likely to have an easy season and still retain the title at the end of the season
2112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 03, 2023, 01:28:06 PM
Álvaro Morata is a player who has perfect performance in his team and he was an effective player for Atletico Madrid so far. Álvaro Morata scored 12 goals in 17 games they had and this is amazing for this player but Álvaro Morata was about to join Barcelona two years after Xavi contracted him. He could shine in Barcelona, however, there is still the chance for Álvaro Morata to join Barcelona soon.



I think signing Alvoro Morata would not be a good step from Barcelona because he already turned down at 32. If Barcelona signs him, they will sign another striker after the next two years because he is already 32 and the average player can hardly play until 35. And anyway, there are many young and talented players apart from Alvaro Morata. If Barcelona must sign a striker, then they should prefer young players instead of old players so that young players can contribute their skills for a long time and go to a club. Well, in my opinion, this will not be a good signing, just to fulfill the temperory requirement and nothing else. I think Barcelona should prioritize signing strikers like Kallyan Mbappe and Haaland. Yes, it is true that he is an expensive player, but in reality, he can give you more contributions than his value means to win trophies for the club.

So I mean to say that Alvaro Morata is just nothing but a vast sum of money. And Barcelona has already been stuck with financial critics. What do you think is good or not?
Alvaro Morata is undoubtedly one of the best strikers in Spain and that's why it's absolutely understandable that Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez is very keen in signing the Spanish international to the Camp Nou. But at the age of 32 years, Alvaro Morata is already a veteran striker and considering the fact that Barcelona also has another veteran striker in the person of Robert Lewandowski, I don't think it's actually a good move to sign Morata to Barcelona. I understand that Xavi Hernandez is a long time admirer of Morata but there are still very young, sharp and energetic strikers out there that are very capable of delivering whichever performance that Hernandez is looking for in Morata and signing such strikers will better deal for the club as they'll have more years to still deliver top football performances for the club than Morata can do.

Serhou Guirassy, Victor Osimhen, Victor Boniface and other young big strikers in Europe I think will make a better signing for Barcelona than Alvaro Morata will do

I have observed that the rich, I mean those who are financially comfortable, win more in gambling than the poor. By poor, I mean those who do not have enough to meet all their needs. I don't know the reason for this. Could it be that the rich understand financial management more? Or could it be that the rich are less desperate to win which make them make better gambling decision? I really want to know the reason for this pattern I have observed.

Where did you come up with this info? Any link to the source of information? Where did you observe the performance of rich gamblers?
It seems kinda logical for the rich to be successful at gambling. If you have more money, the chances for you to hit a big win are higher.
By the way, the term "successful at gambling" shouldn't be taken seriously, because nobody is successful at gambling in the long run.
The casino always wins in the long run, so the casino owner is the only one, who is truly successful at gambling. I don't have a problem with this, because I gamble for fun.
By the way, if you are really poor(you don't have enough to meet all your needs) spending your money on gambling is the worst financial decision ever. Poor people should stay away from gambling.
There are simply analogies of life that doesn't need deep knowledge or research for one to know about them and I think who wins more between a gambler that's rich and the one that's trying to survive falls in that category. When a gambler that's rich wants to gamble, his chances of losing are slim because he'll gamble on very big odds and stake a huge sum of money in it while a poor gambler will want to gamble on very small odds and stake with small money in other to win big from it.

Gambling is one engagement that one shouldn't venture into with the aim of becoming successful in it but as we all know, most of the poor gamblers out there are engaging in gambling because they want to alleviate from poverty through gambling and that's why majority of gambling addicts are mostly poor people.

Since the last two El Clasico matches Barcelona were lose, I think Atletico Madrid should able to win in this match. Lewandowski isn't the same Lewandowski which I know when he was still in Bayern Munich, my personal opinion Barcelona looks more stronger when they play in Camp Nou than Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.

Barcelona is only win base on their popularity and their reputation.
Maybe a draw is the worst for Barcelona. But I feel confident that Barcelona can win. Gavi's injury problem is not a big problem. They have De Jong who is ready to take Gavi's position. They must also be able to take advantage of Felix's moment. Felix is ​​a good player, he must be able to perform optimally. He must be able to provide proof that Simeone's decision to hate him was wrong. Apart from that, there is news that Felix's permanent contract option could also increase Felix's enthusiasm.
After Real Madrid and Girona won their match week 15 games, they went 7 points ahead of third placed Atletico Madrid and fourth placed Barcelona and that's why the two teams will sure do their best today to win the game between them and close the gap with the top two teams in the Spanish La Liga standings. Barcelona will be playing at home at the Camp Nou and that's why a lot of people including bookmakers are backing the home side to defeat Atletico Madrid but that wouldn't be an easy task for Barcelona because Atletico Madrid has the needed quality of players to grab all three points from that game.

Robert Lewandowski hasn't been as effective as he was last season that he helped Barcelona to lift the Spanish La Liga title but since he's 100% fit to feature in that game, I think his contributions can be the decisive factor in that game. Atletico Madrid also has big striker in Alvaro Morata who also is capable of destroying the Barcelona defense. It'll certainly be interesting game and I can't wait for the kickoff.

Napoli should go extra to prepare for this match because I don’t see any short of performance from Inter Milan in that upcoming match. Inter Milan drew their last two matches but they don’t look like who will succumb to Napoli in this match when they are aiming to maintain their first position on the table. In their last five meetings with each other, Inter Milan were able to two of the matches, also drew two of the matches and have lost only once to Napoli.

This is another clear evidence of why I think Inter Milan will be very hard to score tomorrow. I foresee a draw as a worse case scenario in this match but not a win in favour of Napoli. Mazzarri can only win this match, if he will play a tactical game against Inter Milan and know how to break into their defense and score goals. If it is normal formation they go for, it will be hard for them to win Inter Milan.

Napoli are in the performance that is not so good, even in their last 5 matches in all leagues, Napoli only managed to win 2 times while Inter have a history of the last 5 times a good match, they managed to win 3 times and draw 2 times. In this match Napoli will act as the host, it will not be easy to withstand Inter's onslaught but if Napoli success holding inter attacks, then they will be able to win narrowly. At present Inter is 1 point behind Juventus, they must win for this match if they want to shift the position of Juventus.


Napoli's Italian Serie A game later this afternoon against Inter Milan will be a very big test for the club's new manager Walter Mazzarri who was appointed as the club manager three weeks ago after Rudi Garcia for overseeing the club's very poor start to the new season. Napoli won their first game under new manager last weekend against Atalanta before they were beaten by Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League competition last midweek. Playing against an Inter Milan side that's been the most consistent team in the Italian league will undoubtedly be a very difficult task for Napoli today but since they'll be playing at home with the support of the home fans, it's absolutely possible for Napoli to win today.
Milan have finally started doing something for real. First they beat Fiorentina in San Siro in a tough game. After that we have seen them beating Frosinone by 3-1. These are both home wins but doesn't matter. What matters for them now is that they need to keep this up not to drop down from the title competition.

Because Juventus also won this week. Inter's game is going to be really challenging though. Maybe they might lose points once again but I don't feel like they would lose the game. Napoli have replaced their manager maybe but their job is going to be really difficult anyway.
After undergoing a difficult week, AC Milan has now managed to recover with 2 consecutive wins. This is quite a positive thing to increase the team's mentality and confidence to be able to continue the positive trend.

Inter Milan is currently a strong and consistent team but Napoli with all the changes and problems in their team means this will be quite a difficult match for Napoli but even so Napoli cannot be underestimated, this will be a difficult match and all possibilities allows it to happen.
Inter Milan must be able to win points so that they maintain their top standings which have now been evicted by Juventus because Juventsu won this week's match.
AC Milan started the season on a very good note but later started losing games that made many to question if they're truly a serious contender for the scudetto this season but their win against Frosinone yesterday after winning their last weekend game against Fiorentina takes them to just four points behind league leaders Juventus.  
Christan Pulisic who I thought has lost his footballing skills at Chelsea has on many occasions this season proved me wrong as he's been one of the driving force of the Milan team. Yesterday, he was undoubtedly the best player on the pitch as he helped his Milan side to a convincingly win.

Manchester United and Newcastle both have been reported to be targeting to sign Guirassy from Stuttgart. The reported fee thought by these teams for him is 15 million pounds. This would be a ridiculous amount to be offered for him honestly. Because there is no way they can sign him for such a small amount.

Stuttgart wouldn't like to let Guirassy go that easy. His market value is 40 million euros. He would surely like to play for bigger teams but this is just a very optimistic offer for him. Both of these teams are rich in the end so they should be increasing their offer way more.

Isn't the release clause fixed under the terms of the contract? The question is which club the forward will choose. But in general, I don’t even know how to feel about him - throughout his entire career (and he’s not young anymore - 27 years old) he played averagely (sometimes weakly) and here he’s showing such a great season. Where is the guarantee that he will be able to repeat the next season in a new club with approximately the same efficiency?
Serhou Guirassy isn't in any of the top teams in the German Bundesliga but plays for Stuttgart. His number of goals this season in the league is only bettered by Harry Kane who plays for a star studded team like Bayern Munich and that's I'm not surprised to see that handful of clubs are trying to get his signature. Stuttgart for a fact isn't that of a big club in Europe and would definitely sell Guirassy to the highest bidder in other to use the money and invest in to the club's youth teams as well as get other big striker that'll replace Serhou Guirassy if he happens to leave the club.
To choose between Manchester and Newcastle for Serhou Guirassy will be very difficult because the two English Premier League clubs are surely a step better than his current club and that's why it will be confusing to chose from but I think if we should check the records of both clubs, Guirassy will choose Manchester United

Girona once again proved to be a strong contender in the league today as they remained unbeaten today coming from behind to reclaim their 3 points after beating Valencia 2:1 at home. Truth be told they are doing so well and will continue to win regardless of the pressure they will face but if they maintain consistency they are sure of winning the league or at least finishing as one of the best four and thst will see the going to the champions league next season.


When they started to do well in the Spanish La Liga at the start of the season, I was of the opinion that Girona are actually titles pretenders who doesn't have the needed quality of players to conquer the whole of Spain and win the Spanish La Liga title but judging by the kind of performance that Girona has delivered this season I now have a different opinion about them because if they can beat a team like Valencia away from home to still remain joint top of the Spanish La Liga standings after 15 league games, I think they have the capacity to win the league title.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are the three teams that's won the Spanish La Liga in almost the whole of the last two decades but from what I've seen so far this season, Girona might be the new Spanish champions at the end of the season.

Theoretically, it is in no way possible to practice gambling as a job, since it is a practice whose success depends on luck.  No one is always lucky.  The rule says that gambling is either for entertainment or as a result of addiction as a pathological behavioral habit.In general, you will not find anyone who advises you to have an income that is subject to the odds of luck.

There are exceptions.  If the gambling takes place on one of the games that is not subject to the factor of luck alone, then it is likely that the gambler will succeed by using his own skills.  Let's say, for example, that someone is good at playing chess and is able to win bets playing chess, then he is most likely able to do this as a job.  There are many of them in the arenas of major cities who make money from betting on their chess matches.
The truth about gambling is that it has positively changed the status quo of a lot of persons. I mean people that were begging to eat but became millionaires through gambling but let's also not forget that gambling has rendered so many young people useless and more especially the gambling addicts. Personally, I think it absolutely unwise for anyone to engage in gambling as a means making a living out of it or seeing gambling as a profession that'll help improve one's financial status.

Gambling should be played for fun and when the person that's involved in it is always losing money, then the best thing to do is to quit but when the person is using it a means of livelihood and survival, the person will still want to gamble more even when he's losing  which will eventually turn the person to a gambling addict

Last season in laliga Sevilla didn't do very well and am not also surprised by their performance this season. I knew the Champions League game will be tough for Sevilla because this is a game that Sevilla is not very used to and they are not prepare for Champions league. The Europa league is the game that Sevilla is very used to, I think coming back to Europa league will be very much interesting . Sevilla is a team that most people wants to always watch in Europa League because they surprise people whenever they meet with top Premier league team in Europa game.
Last season, Sevilla finished on 12th standings position with 49 points and they have very poor performance but helped more after winning Europe League and success become La Liga teams participants in Champion League. Not change yet with Sevilla performance for this season between domestic league or Champion League exactly have been eliminated from group stage and potential will not participants in Europe League after fail for finishing on 3rd position.

How possibilities coming back to  Europe League in this season? Sevilla has two points in Champion League group stage and remaining 3 points left from Lens, if want get place for playing in Europe League have win last match against Lens and pessimistic with Sevilla not won match yet in Champion League.
As the most successful club in the history of the UEFA Europa League competition there's no doubt that Sevilla remains the toughest team to play against in the competition. They actually had a poor season in the Spanish La Liga last season as they were unable to finish in the top four position but that didn't stop them from winning the Europa League trophy last season after they defeated Jose Mourinho's Roma in the final. If Sevilla should be able to make it the to knockout stages of the Europa League this season, they'll certainly be regarded as one of the favourite teams to win it this season because of their records in the competition.

That being said, the possibility of Sevilla playing in the Europa League this season is very slim. After the lost their UEFA Champions League home game against Dutch club PSV  on Wednesday, Sevilla now has a mountain to climb if they must finish third in their group . Their last game of the group stage will be an away game at Lens and they must win that game to finish third and qualify to play in the knockout stages of the Europa League. Judging by their recent performances, winning at Lens will be very difficult for Sevilla .

At this point I would love to say it will be fair if ten hag is relief of his job because he has proven beyond doubts that he lacks the capacity to bring back the red devils to glory this season watching this match against Newcastle made me see too many weakness with the team.[/qoute]

Judging by the recent results of Manchester United, there is no doubt that the team is currently underperforming and that why it's actually safe to say that Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag deserves to sacked as the club manager. Earlier in the week, Manchester United played out a draw in a game against Galatasaray in the  UEFA Champions League despite going two goals up after the restart of the second half. The manager lacks the needed tactical and technical abilities to manage a big team like Manchester United and the earlier he's relieved of his duties at the club the better for the the club.

Onana is another big problem for Manchester united , before now I used to assume he needed more time and maybe he will turn out better but now I see that he is just not good playing in Manchester united, he may be better out there but not with Manchester united, too many errors were spotted in his performance today and I couldn't understand again what exactly he was doing, Manchester needs overhauling.
I don't thu Manchester United's problem has anything to do with the club's goalkeeper Andre Onana even when the Cameroon international has made some big goalkeeping mistakes since the start of the season. Before the match week 15 of the English Premier League kicked off this weekend, Onana was joint highest goalkeepers with the most clean sheets in the league and that goes a long way to tell how good of a goalie he is despite not being adequately protected by his defenders
