another rumor from the english premier league...
sky germany reports that the german serial champion bayern munich is said to be interested in the senegalese international player Sadio Mane from fc liverpool...
Munich has the opportunity to approach Mane because until now Mane has not yet agreed on a contract extension with Liverpool, while Mane remaining contract at Liverpool only remains until June 2023 or the end of next season, and it is even reported that representatives of Munich have spoken with Mane agent about a possible transfer of Mane to Munich, Mane brilliant performance with Liverpool so far has made Munich want to try to buy him, and this speculation should have served as a warning to Liverpool to immediately extend Mane  contract if they don't want to lose one of their best wingers player  in the later.

Sadio Mane is not Klopp`s main man, Jurgen Klopp always use team rotation as an excuse but they never rotate Mo Salah. Everyone knows that Mane is good and he doesn't get the credit he deserves in Liverpool and with the manager trying to make Salah and Diaz the main men in the attacking front 3 with Jota, it is understandable why this rumor is flying. I don’t see him leaving Liverpool to Bayern Munich willfully though except the club want to make deal with Bayern involving him.

Yeah, Ornstein from the Athletic has all but confirmed it as well. If something totally unexpected does not happen in the next few days, Haaland will be a City player next season.

To bring a young player of such quality to an already world class team is a great move - especially since they have been missing a true striker since Aguero left. They will be even a bigger threat and a better team next season.

I can only hope Liverpool can respond to this with a few good transfers of their own. This City team looks almost unbeatable.

I wonder what if Liverpool actually decides to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo? 

That would be a great thing to witness in my opinion. 
I actually cannot decide whether it will be bad or good, to be honest.
 
Anyway, this transfer made by Manchester City is surely going to be a great one for both the player and the team because this player surely has a lot of potential, and live playing with Manchester City he will surely gain confidence and also hone his skills better.

For some reason I don't think Ronaldo belongs in the English Premier League. Not because I don't want him there, but simply because he doesn't fit in. He is more suited to the pace of Spanish football, well, maybe Italian (although when he played at Juventus I didn't like him), because English football is too fast, and Liverpool have good players in attack, do they need such competition in the team?
I don't agree that Ronaldo don't belong in the EPL,  he is one of the best players and contending for highest goal scorer this season too. Ronaldo is made for the premier league, he's been making double figure goals even younger strikers in the league can't make. Not to mention that he is 37 and still thriving in the so-called most difficult and fast paced league.

Fiorentina won by 2-0 goals against Roma.Fiorentina played very well their last match.Unfortunately Roma didn’t play well amd they didn’t score ay singled goal Italian point table number 1 Ac Milan.6, 7 and 8 number these 3 teams point are same as 59.what point table italian Leaugue. But number 2 inter Milan 2 point gap in Milan.I think Ac Milan will win Leaugue title this season.
I agree with you because AC Milan has performed very well in their last matches that make their points to increase higher. AC Milan is well organized to achieve victory from their next match to make their fans feel happy about their performance in this season. Fiorentina defeated Roma by 2:0 in the first half that made Roma coach to promised his fans that it will never happen again till they achieve victory from this tournament.
AC Milan can't leave any stone unturned at this point of the title season they are just two games away from winning the league title but their opponents are not very easy so they will have to give their all. Inter Milan are just two points behind and any point dropped by AC Milan will turn things around. Mathematically Napoli is also in the mix.

I still stand for Real Madrid to win Liverpool to achieve UEFA champion league title. I think what happened between Real Madrid and Manchester city is about to happen to Liverpool because it hard me to loose my prediction in this tournament. Real Madrid will win Liverpool 1:0 to inform other teams that they are destined to win this season title in a surprise way.
I also want Real Madrid to beat Liverpool, not because Jurgen's men aren't experienced or better than them but for the fact that Real Madrid went through all these stress beating PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City. It is impossible to think they will lose to Liverpool in the final. Another advantage they have over Liverpool is they already won the Spanish La Liga and are resting key players, Benzema and others were rested even when the fixture was against Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid will be fresher coming into the final and that will be a major plus for them.

I get where you coming from mate, but take for example you aspire to become a hard working lecturer or teacher in this country of low income and you have family to carter for. Then you happen to write a text book, with your experience and numerous research. You fixed a price and only for you to have people photocopying your work to have it for free or at a low price, I personally feel e go hurt anybody. Although I don’t know how NFT would solve this issue, but since the world is becoming a digital village, and the advent of crypto-currency has digitally tackled some issues with traditional finances actives, I hope something would come up in future.
Nor be lie the world na digital village. You no go believe the kind connections you fit get on LinkedIn and other professional apps, people dey get jobs from there, some they work remotely. Opportunities dey everywhere.

I hear say federal government don approve the funds for tertiary institutions today. The strike don too tay shuu govt nor wan shake leg since. Make them allow the students go back to finish make them finish their courses go face life for outside. 4 years course don turn 5 years because of ASUU strike 
2207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: May 06, 2022, 07:24:12 PM
23.5 million people have requested to buy World Cup tickets in Qatar, according to the FIFA website! Most of them expressed interest in watching Argentina matches. Messi's influence on the pitch is quite obvious, the man is way too influential. He has more influence than anyone could imagine. Argentina's fans have always been amazing. Messi would still be the reason for those people to watch Argentina.
The figure of Leonel Messi is of course a very big attraction in the Argentine national team, because Messi is now 35 years old, most likely this year's world cup will be Messi's last world cup, it is certain that all Messi fans will buy tickets to watch the last game of their star player Because this year is also the last year for Ronaldo to play in the world cup, maybe this year's world cup ticket sales are the most ticket purchases in all world cups.
Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo are strong personalities in not just football but sports in general, they are some sort of superstars in the game little wonder why their participation in the competition would influence the sales of tickets. I think the world cup on its own attracts people irrespective of the players involved. There was a time people would worry about how the prestige of the UEFA Champion's League will be affected prestige without Messi and Ronaldo rivalry but in recent years it has faze out. The truth is the world cup itself supersedes any individual player.

That's fantastic. The mere thinking that you are keen on making your students learn more about technology shows how good you are as a person.
There are many courses online that you can refer to and include it in your program.
Can you recommend some of these online courses you think might be useful. Thank you.
Also, if you don't have much resources for the computers then you can get one laptop/computer and tell your students to operate it taking turns one by one.
This way all your students will be able to access a computer at least for a specific time.
There are thirty five students in a class. One computer won't do it, I will try to get at least 5 PCs for class projects. My PC is available so I have one already. The remaining four won't be much of a problem as long as I promise to return them in good condition.

•Is bitcoin going to be an everlasting investment platforms ?
Bitcoin is not an investment platform! Bitcoin is a digital currency based on a decentralized network. The fact that Bitcoin is a currency is easy to forget because majority of the whales, newbies in this space buy bitcoin for profit and hodl. They do not intend to actually use their bitcoins as a means of payment, that's why it will be difficult for Bitcoin to replace fiat.
•Assurance and guarantee of the bitcoin ?
Do not take my word for it. Read the white paper. It's a matter of self conviction.

•Bitcoin will replace the physical note tendency ?
I believe this is going to happen someday, maybe not in my lifetime but it definitely will. The world is bound to evolve with time, I think the future will be a cashless world. The most likely to happen is CBDC replacing fiat.

Their are so many things for you to introduce to them about bitcoin , atleast the basic things you need to teqch them. Make them understand that bitcoin is not a money making machine that can make one to be rich within a short time. Also, teaching them the risk behind Bitcoin and how to manage risk. It is also important to teach them how to avoid scams as young bitcoiner, their are many ways beginners can be scammed , from what you have experienced from scammers you should be able to teach them. Give them lesson how to secure wallets and how to keep seed phrase in the proper way. This are some of the important things they neeed to know about bitcoin.
As a rule of thumb, I never introduce Bitcoin to newbies as an investment opportunity it can be quite disastrous to do so. I will be teaching the students the basics, wallets and wallet security, how to send and receive bitcoins.
For Satoprincess suggestion concerning the Economics teacher, I talked with her and fortunately she's open minded, and is researching on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies on her own time.
2211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Bitcoin teaching approach on: May 05, 2022, 09:14:41 PM
Xv.
It's not bad to tell people about bitcoin in the hopes that it will be of use to them themselves. Education about bitcoin to them is a good part to spread awareness about this currency in society especially for students. I'm very interested in doing the same, but I don't have much time to do it even though I believe I have the ability to tell them the important basics about bitcoin.

OP, I support your efforts, but can you tell me how other students and teachers reacted when they found out that you were teaching bitcoin to your class?
I haven't started teaching the class yet, it won't come as a surprise to the staff room or the school management. The teachers here are expected to submit their course outline to the Principal within first week of resumption. Rest assured I'm not breaking the rules of the institution. It's been making rounds in the staff room. Some of the other teachers are interested in Bitcoin personally.  For the students reaction, it will be a matter of interest each student has his/her preferences.

Liverpool FC has been nothing short of amazingly this season. They are actually the team any club would be weary of. From defense down to attack they seems to be doing just great, little wonder why they are favorites to win  a quadruple this season and from all indicators it is doable. It would have been nice to see two English teams face off in the finals but Real Madrid denied us that pleasure. Manchester City should lick their wounds and focus on winning the EPL title

I read the news that Ronaldo could be in PSG. And that allegedly Messi warned the club's management that he was against this and if such a transfer occurs, he will leave the club (although he has a valid contract). Firstly, I'm surprised by Messi's actions (I thought, personally, these players have no problems - because Messi was able to play in the same team with Ramos, why not play with Ronaldo), and secondly, the idea that Ronaldo could be in the farm league.
Things are bad for Manchester united, it's very likely to end up at Europa League spot and also the incoming coach demands? It is clearly understandable why these rumors and speculations are flying around. It's possible Ronaldo would be allowed to leave United because Erik Ten Hag might not have him in his plans.

Congratulations to Villarreal, they tried to achieve something quite difficult. With the game he played in the first half, many believed that he would beat Liverpool, but in the second half, Liverpool scored goals and became the team that made it to the final.
Despite everything, Villarreal played very well and if they had finished the match with a score like in the first half, we would have watched a match that will go down in history Smiley
I also think Villarreal were great regardless they played well and were just at the same level with Liverpool who looked miles ahead of them in terms of quality and experience. Villarreal players and fans should be proud of their campaign in this season UEFA Champion's League. They were the underdogs who surprised everyone, they reached a level no one expected and that is applaudable.
2215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 04, 2022, 09:15:36 PM
Real Madrid C.F. could extend Marcelo's contract next season. He wants to stay at Madrid even if he has to take a huge pay cut that would make him Madrid's lowest paid player. I would not like the idea of him staying if he takes a huge pay cut and playing as a backup. However, giving too much can be dangerous. He should go to a team that will appreciate his talent. The best thing for him would be to live on high so that his legacy will live on.
Real Madrid extending the contract of Marcelo can't be true. He's been a great player for the club, winning a lot of trophies for them and would be regarded as a club's legend. Frankly speaking, Marcelo have not been a hotshot for like three years now. There's actually no sense in giving him a new contract except probably for his attacking abilities.
2216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 04, 2022, 07:24:57 AM
Paul Pogba may as yet remain at Manchester United because his high wage demand. Man United doesn't have a lot of interest on his, potentially they let him be a free agent. PSG has interested this French guy but this also depends on their next coach. Man United didn't renew his contract so he should find somewhere to go. Pogba should agree with a pay cut, unless no reason United offer him new contract.
I think Paul Pogba could as well still stay at Manchester United though because his high wage will certainly put off clubs bidding for him except for PSG though and the PSG move is not sure yet. The hierarchy at Manchester United still wants to keep Pogba but just need to slash his high wages. Also with the death of Paul Pogba's agent, this summer might be difficult for him because he didn't have a great season with United. Any club bidding for him is just banking on the presumed quality everyone knows he has.
2217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 04, 2022, 06:41:11 AM
The unlucky match was shown again by Atalanta in this match.
They are still struggling against Salernitana even they have to wait until the 88th minute to equalize them.
This is clearly not good enough in my opinion because they should have won full points in this match so they can compete at least to fight for the top 6 position there

Roma have lost a lot of points in recent weeks. If Atalanta had won their last game, they could be in 6th place right now, but Atalanta, like Roma, did not score in the last 2 weeks. In fact, they missed a great opportunity.
They still have a chance to be 6th, but they need to be able to win a match as soon as possible. They cannot finish this league in 6th place by gaining 1 point with the goal they scored in the last minutes Smiley
Roma haven't been very good in the last few games but it's a shame Atalanta didn't play well too which cost them a lot of points here.
Their last 5 matches only got 5 points which kept them from developing in position.

They have 3 games to play in the remaining games at the moment but there is Milan there.
AS Roma have improved, they can look back at the end of the season and count on the good things they've done. Although, I'm gutted they lose out on the race for top four. I think AS Roma can gun for the Europa League title, if they can win that, they will automatically be in the champion's league next season.
2218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 03, 2022, 09:20:31 PM

Yes AC Milan are in the best position on paper, their fate is in their own hands. If they can maximize it, they will easily win the Scudetto this season. However, Inter Milan are now in a bad situation, dropping such an important point. The odds turned against them but the problem is that we don't know what will happen to this team, as they also get unpredictable results sometimes when they are favourites.
AC Millan success pass hard match with 3 points against Fiorentina and I think looks have close step with scudetto trophy in this season, but not be glad early for Milan fans because on 3 match left still waiting by Verona, Atalanta and Sassuolo. Last two team I don't think easy for AC Milan success get full points, but winning on two match again will guarantee Milan get trophy in this season after more than last ten years without get Serie A trophy. Keep focusing on next match with Verona and Atalanta because 6 points added will give trophy for Milan in this season.
Milan has struggled to snatch first place from Inter Milan, Inter Milan's defeat of Bologna opened up opportunities for Milan to move up to first position. Milan has been in front of Inter, the scudetto is almost achieved by Milan. To ensure themselves as champions, Milan must win the remaining three matches, Milan must focus on the goal, whoever the opponent must be defeated. Because if Milan makes a mistake in just one game, Inter Milan can take the opportunity to get the Scudetto.
It's interesting to know that AC Milan are just three games away from their first league title in 11 years. It's been a long time coming, with Inter Milan and Juventus dominating the league. Inter Milan can steal it away from them, they still have tough games coming up and two of which are that against Atalanta and Saussuolo. Inter Milan on the other hand, have a much easier fixtures.
2219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: May 03, 2022, 09:13:52 PM
Good game for Manchester United, hopefully for the rest of the games can improve his game and should keep winning until the end of the season.
and currently Manchester United is ranked sixth in the standings with a collection of 58 points, Manchester United mathematically still has a chance to finish in the top four even though it depends on Arsenal's results in fourth position with 63 points. And Tottenham are fifth with 61 points, expecting both teams to err in the remainder of the game to draw or lose. Grin
Of the many matches played by Manchester United, this is the first time I have seen a good game they have shown, even though the composition of the players is still the same as before, Manchester United has a difference of 3 points with Tottenham and a difference of 5 points with Arsenal, but I think this is It's still very difficult for Manchester United to advance to the Champions League through the play-offs, because Tottenham and Arsenal will not waste this opportunity, it is certain that they will maintain that position
Agree with what you said, it was a very good game for them even since the Rangnick Era this is probably the first time they have played well and dominated so much.

Well at least this is still a pretty good thing for MU but of course this shouldn't be the best achievement for them and don't be complacent with all the praise right now because this could be a boomerang
Lol, of all the teams in the EPL standings so far, only Manchester United have played 36 matches, while the other teams have just played 33, 34 and 35 matches. That way, Manchester United only had 2 matches left and then finished without being able to finish in the top four. Cheesy Because the two competing teams above are Arsenal and Tottenham have just played 34 matches of course, by having 4 matches left for Arsenal and Tottenham they will still be in 4th and 5th place. It doesn't matter if Manchester United can win all the remaining matches because even though Manchester United can win them all, Manchester United only get +6. Whereas the point gap with Arsenal is currently 5 points? Are you serious that Manchester United still has a chance to finish in the top four? Lol!
I am of the opinion that this season has to be one of the best English Premier League seasons in a while. With very few games left and there’s still title winner, top four, and relegation battle ongoing intensely. I think Arsenal are favorite to clinch the fourth spot ahead of their London neighbor - Tottenham Hotspur and deservingly so. Arsenal have been able to get away with the wins against Chelsea and Manchester United and that's commendable. A win against Spurs will end everything.

FIFA has fined Nigeria N64 million (about 150,000 Swiss Francs) and play a match indoors for what fans did on the stadium after the Super Eagles of Nigeria failed to beat Ghana in their qualifiers for the Qatar 22 world cup on March 29, 2022. And I like it. It was stupid for fans to encroach on the pitch and cause destruction of the stadium. I know the fine will be paid from tax payers money but it will serve a warning to the federal government of Nigeria to ensure adequate security next time for matches.

Find story here https://guardian.ng/sport/fifa-fines-nigeria-n64m-orders-eagles-to-play-one-match-without-fans/
The fine of 150K Swiss Franc & a closed door game is a fair punishment for what the fans did - encroaching and violent display, destroying the stadium facilities after losing to Ghana in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. Take away the financial implication, I doubt Nigerians do care even if they are given 10 games ban playing matches in closed doors.
