I heard he is going to renew his contract with Tottenham, I've never seen a player with such a low winning mentality as Kane, he is almost 30 and all he cares about is his goal scoring records and not trophies, his business with Tottenham is over, his been loyal, now its time to move to a bigger club to win some trophies, it would be a huge disappointment for a player like him to finish his career with only golden boots. He was promised he could leave then they reneged on their word and forced him to stay at Tottenham. They will never receive a £100m offer for him now but he should leave and try to win trophies and play in the Champions League for a few years before he retires. @JollyGood to be honest I was puzzled as to why Everton were sticking with him, because he should have been sacked a while ago and I strongly feel that he needs to manage in a less competitive league and then come back to the premier league. Also whoever decides to become the next manager will have a tough task i.e. to prevent Everton from being relegated, and lastly restore the confidence back in Everton player’s. Maybe they thought he helped them from getting relegated last season and gave him time. I thought they were very generous by allowing him over half the season which was 20 games in the Premier League but a return of just 15 points from a possible 60 is shocking for a club of that stature therefore Lampard had to go, the owners had no choice as they still have a reasonable chance to avoid a real relegation battle. |

After your excellent post it leaves just tjtonmoy to come back here and explain what is really going on otherwise some of us will take various things for granted and come to our own conclusions. After all, I am sure he would want to say something after his apology has been locked after he was called out by some people. So, did anybody actually believe the story he gave? |

It certainly seems he did break his own rules however there is still a chance that all this will be cleared up and the OP of that thread will make the payment to the winner or better still he can clarify why he did what he did and then re-run the giveaway but announce beforehand how he intends to select a winner. As long as those things happen he can have credibility but the way it turned out it seems very inappropriate. Someone suggested earlier this could have been an attempt to get merits and try to build up the account which for $50 would probably be worth it if he could get merits. Having said that, there is a chance this could all be a misunderstanding and could be resolved (but I have reservations). You are close  Indeed, OP did not initially announce giveaway rules; he did it later, in the seventh post. Rolling was supposed to take place on Jan 24th. Yesterday (Jan 24th), OP asked how to proceed. A Ponzi promoter (so, obviously, not a trustworthy member) gave him an example of how to choose the winner by using a block's hash. In the given example, the winner was user 5tift. However, that was just an example!OP did not understand that it was only an example (or simply ignored that) and announced 5tift as winner, although he (OP) broke his giveaway rules. And his giveaway rules were those stated in post #7, respective to have him or a trustworthy user make the rolling. But, in our case: (1) he did not make any rolling; (2) no trustworthy user made any rolling; (3) there was actually no rolling at all, as what that Ponzi promoter said was just an example of how a rolling works. Since then I don't know what happened, nor if OP actually paid the money to the fake winner. In any case, he broke his own rules. |

The second semi-final being played is tonight: Nottingham Forest vs Manchester UnitedI'm very happy for the supporters of Newcastle United because they have waited and gone too long without any trophies to celebrate but now it's looking like that is going to change if they can get to the finals. Leading to Joelington's goal, Isak did really well to skip past the Southampton defenders. From now on I think he deserves to always start games for Newcastle.
Newcastle United have the advantage going into the second leg and they can surely win to meet the winners between Manchester United and Nottingham forest. If Newcastle get to the Finals, they have a very good chance of winning it, Newcastle defence has been excellent this season. There still is a chance Southampton could turn this around and go to the final at Wembley themselves but it will be tough. @JollyGood Newcastle supporters are probably dreaming about winning the trophy, and to be honest they deserve at least one trophy for the way they have played this season. However they won by a very slim margin, and I hope that their player’s do not get carried away and don’t end up underestimating Southampton in the return leg otherwise they could end up missing playing in the final’s Newcastle have been dreaming of becoming a big club for a very long time, well they are a big club with a big local support base but they need to win trophies to be taken seriously. Maybe they will start from this cup and go on a winning run. I still think Southampton will make it difficult and could even make it to the final themselves. Nottingham Forest vs Man Utd tonight.
Obviously Man Utd go in as huge favourites but Forest will fight hard because they might not get a better chance to get to a final. I’ll be rooting for Forest, would be great to see them get to Wembley but I just don’t think it’ll happen unfortunately. I would not be surprised if Nottingham Forest won tonight but lost heavily in the return leg at Old Trafford. For the neutrals, I am sure they would prefer a Southampton vs Nottingham Forest final. |

If I have understood this situation correctly, the OP of the $50 giveaway thread (who is a newbie and has almost zero posts in the forum) basically conducted a giveaway even though he did not announce in the OP of the thread how a winner was going to be selected. Furthermore, a few posts down the line he is asked how a winner will be decided. The OP of that thread decides to roll a wheel and suggests even someone trustworthy could do it but then does not offer the option again and instead simply announces he found the winner by editing the OP of that giveaway thread. Now it seems many (if not most participants of the giveaway thread) are not happy and want a more transparent way to find a winner. Is that basically the issue? |

RESULT:
Southampton 0-1 Newcastle United
The semi-final is played over two legs. The first game ended with Newcastle getting a victory away at Southampton. Newcastle are edging towards their first cup final in many years if they manage to avoid a loss when the two teams meet again in 7 days.
In the second semi-final tomorrow, Nottingham Forest host Manchester United in the first leg of their semi-final.

BREAKING NEWS
EVERTON HAVE SACKED LAMPARD Everton have taken just 15 points from a possible 60 points this season and that is just not good enough for a Premier League manager. I am surprised Lampard lasted that long, Everton have been very fair to him by allowing him time but with more than half the season already played they had no choice but to sack him. He was in the job less than one year. ========== These are the results from the games played yesterday: Leeds United 0-0 Brentford
Manchester City 3-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers
Arsenal 3-2 Manchester United

These are the results from the rest of the games played today:
Bournemouth 1-1 Nottingham Forest
Leicester City 2-2 Brighton and Hove Albion
Southampton 0-1 Aston Villa
West Ham United 2-0 Everton
Everton suffered another loss therefore their manager Lampard will probably not be able to keep his job much longer. Well done to Moyes at West Ham for winning the game after he was under immense pressure. Aston Villa have another impressive result at Southampton and so do Nottingham Forest at Bournemouth.

9 wins in a row now for the United team. I think they owe the successes mainly to the new trainer, who dared not to put Ronaldo in the starting line-up and thus managed to force a transfer. It was a gamble, if it had gone any worse after that, he would have had all the criticism. Perhaps Ten Hag is not a big personality, but he has a clear vision with football and he was also very successful at Ajax. He brings out the best in players at this club. I hope United can continue their winning streak and keep up with Arsenal in the long run. They are quite a few points ahead, but United are in absolute top form. The same does not apply to Liverpool. How City stands now is difficult to sketch. Also lose a lot of points. I would have thought that they would be even stronger and more dominant this season with the presence of Haaland.
Yes all credit to Erik ten hag for the winning mentality and discipline brought back to the team again, seeing this Manchester United team play again gives me joy because the days Manchester United played good football with this winning mentality was interesting but long gone ... I wasn't really happy about how he managed the Whole RONALDO saga but the most important thing is the team are heading in the right direction, and that is because of his zero tolerance to indiscipline. Let's watch to see how strongly they finish this season because there is still a long way to go in the league. RESULT: Liverpool 0-0 ChelseaThis result does not help either Liverpool or Chelsea as they both are desperate to try to catch the teams occupying the top four positions. After they shared a point each it makes almost no different to them in the Premier League table. The best part of the match was watching Mudryk play, he will be a superstar at Chelsea and could be the catalyst to propel them to a top five finish. |

These are the games taking place today:
Liverpool vs Chelsea
Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest
Leicester City vs Brighton and Hove Albion
Southampton vs Aston Villa
West Ham United vs Everton
Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United
I think Chelsea will win in the midday kick-off at Anfield because Liverpool are just as much vulnerable as they are but the Chelsea players seem to have more hunger. If Liverpool win can Potter carry on as though it is fine because he is guaranteed his job or will a defeat for Klopp mean his replacement is being talked about?
Elsewhere, I expect West Ham United to beat Everton (and Lampard might be sacked following the game) and also expect Newcastle United to get a draw at Crystal Palace.

Pick a number between 1-58 and it might be you winning the prize: Free Lottery#1 JollyGood-Ratimov-Utopia: Fury vs Usyk win c.$100Welcome to the 10,000+ posts club. I hope you continue contributing in the forum for many years to come.

Fury already mentioned last year that he accepts a 50/50 split. If there is someone that can be a little greedy and can even demand a little increase of the share if in case the fight happens in Wembly, it should be Usyk since he's not getting a neutral venue and has been exploited by the judges there when he fought AJ twice. If I recall correctly, Fury even offered 60/40 or 50/50 to Joshua to fight in December therefore money cannot be the main factor here. Both boxers are fighting the clock, they are not getting any younger and would like to get their name in the history book. I guess the contention is that it's Fury's home town, so he is the one bringing fans to the sit in Wembley and so deserves more than tha 50/50 split and should be treated as the A-side. I believe Fury is from the north of the country and most definitely not from London but having the fight anywhere in the UK would be a sell-out and most of the public in the stadium would be rooting for Fury. Having said that, does it really mean he deserves more than 50% share of the purse, I am not sure about that. Who puts the most bums on the the seats? Fury, right? Even if you're a Usyk fan I'm sure you can admit that Fury has the most following. Now, whether or not he's the better fighter remains to be seen, but considering how popular Fury is I can see why he does get the majority of the share. Usyk doesn't seem like the person to squabble over money too much though, so I expect if both parties genuinely want this fight, there won't be any money issues.
I can't help, but hope Fury clears the division first by beating Joshua, and Usyk. If he loses, I can't see him stopping either. He's had problems with not being involved in boxing in the past, and that could play into his decision to retire. Which, unfortunately means he'll probably rack up a few losses in his career towards the end. The reality is Fury is far bigger a name than Usyk or Joshua or any other heavyweight and without a doubt he can use his popularity to his advantage. I think he is far too clever to get beaten before he retires, I see him refusing to fight Joshua but if it happened and belts were on the line it would be good for British boxing but probably a very bad day for Joshua as it will be another defeat. Fury is not exactly young therefore if he achieves his goal of being unified champion (and becomes even wealthier in the process), he has got everything he ever wanted therefore changing career and retiring would not be such a bad thing if he can just make that step. I doubt he will fight Joshua because he already stated he will never fight him most probably because he could have him in December but ended up fighting Chisora when Joshua refused to get in the ring with Fury.
I think Fury should seriously think about retiring after the Usyk fight regardless of who wins or if he beats Usyk as expected he should make just one defence of his unified belts before retiring as undisputed heavyweight champion. He's not young but he's not exactly old either and I'd say he's still in his peak right now but the as the years pass that will quickly dwindle. AJ is still one of the biggest fights for them both so that's why he will want it and it's something British fans have been calling for for years. It's a guaranteed sellout and blockbuster event. I'm pretty sure it would even do more PPV buys than the Usyk fight. Tyson may or may not retire but most boxers end up fighting well past their prime. They either need the money or just can't seem to let it go (and is self-admittedly the case with Tyson). What else is he going to do? Just train others? Maybe, but boxing gives them motivation and discipline and without it they become lost and easily fall into bad habits. Fury seems to have a settled down life with his wife and kids therefore I cannot see him spiralling out of control after he retires. The problem with fighters approaching mid-30s is that they can get complacent and suffer shock losses. Fury will not risk it, I mean if he beats Usyk does he really need to fight again? Yes any Fury vs Joshua fight would sell-out but in the end does Fury need it especially if he is holding the belts and Joshua has none? Maybe Fury can control himself and have motivations as well as discipline outside of a life away from the boxing ring. He deserves it after dominating in and off for many years. |
