Tottenham will host Newcastle at the Tottenham stadium. Spurs need to aimed at top 4 this season, and they are not ready to back out, not when they are this close to slide in from behind. The game is going be in favour of Tottenham, because they will shoots their best shots at their opponents for the qualifier of the top 4 spot. Arsenal won't also give up, the competitions for the top 4 this season is going to really high. Because most teams like Tottenham, Manchester United and westham are in for the race, which I know gunners are not ready to lose the position to any of the teams. Not when they have reached this far. Arsenal have not feature in the champions league for a long period of time ever since been humiliated by Bayern Munich in a goal aggregate of 10-2. It was their worst nightmare, so arteta won't let this opportunity for gunners to qualify for the champions league this season swipe off their feets.
Is really an interesting battle for the top four race this season, Tottenham Hotspur will do everything possible to win Newcastle in this weekend game, they will prepare very well  since they are not playing in any European competition, and during the just concluded international break they didn't have any injuries issues, Antonio Conte were in good form before they go for international break and the way the players have started believing in Conte I guess they won't have any issues continue from where they stop.
Tottenham maybe big a chance will definitely win in the match later, the race for 4th place will be very interesting if its Arsenal who will play later against Crystal Palace with a Draw result, at least that is what is expected this time. However, it's a slim possibility because Arsenal also still has 1 match left, which might top 4 still be in Arsenal grasp, But I admit anything can happen at top 4.
I will be  really surprised if Tottenham Hotspur manage to make top four, it seem difficult for them to go on a winning run, their record have been awful. Although they just had back to back wins after some inconsistent record in the last two months but if they can win at Newcastle United that will do a lot of good for them as a team and probably give them the momentum to fight for the top four but again, I think Arsenal FC are in a better place and I don't see them slowing down anytime soon.

Manchester United are no longer playing in the Champions League, so they need to focus on the EPL... They should beat Leicester City in their next game! But the stats so far are not in Man U's favour because they couldn't beat Leicester for 4 games in a row... I wonder if the situation will change tomorrow, but Man U really need to pick up points! I think a good bet here is that both teams will score at odds of 1.7...
Manchester United must win this match if they still want to have hope of playing in the Europa league next season, I think that way there will be greater motivation from them to win this match, although the match will be tough I predict Manchester United will be able to win in this match. this match and broke the record of not being able to win in a row against Leicester City.

I don't think Manchester United are strong anymore. They are now a team of average quality. Leicester, on the other hand, is a team that is very difficult to predict about their performance. They are a very irregular team. However, they often surprise us with a good performance against big team. Leicester's defense is weak. Can Manchester United players take advantage of this weak defense? If not, then I want to say, Leicester will win this match.
If the rumour that Leicester City will be without Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi for Saturday's game at Old Trafford is true, then I will predict a easy win for Manchester United. Wilfred Ndidi is really important for the midfield of that team and an attack without Vardy will be toothless, lets hope it's just a April fool prank from the Leicester City media. None the less, Manchester United are obviously not at their best but everyone would expect they can still beat this Leicester team.

Betis have not lost opportunities. but when Betis get points, I think Barca and Atletico will also get points. and it will not change the current position.
Betis experienced a decline in performance, from several matches he also did not get 3 points.
while Barca and Atletico I think will continue to play aggressively. they have a target to secure a ticket to the champions league next season. because to compete for the title from Madrid seems too far away.
Sevilla, Barca and Atletico will not waste their chances of playing in the Champions League, finishing in the top 4 is mandatory for them. Betis are still looming in 5th place, hoping one of them loses consecutive points. Betis who is 4 points adrift of Atletico must be consistent with their performance, every match that Betis passes must get 3 points. I think Betis will lose points against Barca and Real Madrid towards the end of the competition.
It is crazy how Real Betis, Seviella, Villareal and Athletico Madrid gave Barcelona tough time for top 4 spot at the first half of the season only to be struggle now. Both Villarreal and Real Betis kept dropping points, that's how Barcelona crept into the top 4 position and now are likely going to be a runner up. I think Sevilla and Barcelona will easily end the season within the champion's league spot but I'm not too sure about Atletico and Villarreal.
2326  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Round of 16! on: March 31, 2022, 06:56:16 PM
Atletico will do what Atletico Madrid always does,defend hard and try and do something on counter-attacks. Everyone knows how Simeone plays with Atletico and its no secret,Man City has such a powerfull attack that i think they will destroy maybe even Atletico. You cannot defend 10 years all the time honestly.

There is no doubt that Manchester City's attacking lineup is very strong. However, Atletico Madrid's defense is not weak. Atletico Madrid will want to score from the counterattack, while Manchester City will play attacking, so it will be bit easier for Atletico's players to score. Moreover, Manchester City has several important matches in a row against strong opponents. And so I doubt the players will be in their full form.
Manchester city has many experienced players, Manchester city also has the best coach in the world, even though April is a very tiring month for Manchester city, but I am still optimistic that Manchester city is able to dismantle the ATM defense, even though ATM plays a parking bus game but I believe Manchester city able to break into the ATM goal, because Pepguardiola is the key to Manchester city's victory, because Pepguardiola already knows the weakness of ATMs, because Pepguardiola has long coached Barcelona in the Spanish league.
The champion's league game between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid will definitely be the toughest tie of this stage maybe a little higher than Chelsea and Madrid. It will be a battle between football ideology and coaches tactical abilities. Certainly, we know both team plays a style of football that is opposing to each other. The strength and depth of this City side will be tested when Simeone set up his annoyingly defensive side but most fans will still believe City to pull this one through.
2327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: March 31, 2022, 06:49:46 PM
Man City remains the favorite for me to win the title. In the end, they are now just ahead of Liverpool. Liverpool have been doing better in recent games and have more convincing. But City have also had a streak this season, winning 12 consecutive times after their lackluster start. Then suddenly they were on top. If City plays like a machine, it's hard to play against it. Liverpool also has no chance. But City have been vulnerable this season a few times already.
I decently agree with you, Manchester city to me is one one of the strongest team in the world of football, their pattern of play is spectacular. They hardly lose points, the team is well arrange and they also believed in team work. With their recent performance I still have no doubts they can win the title.

Many people think that Manchester City is the favourite, but I think we will see a very competitive game and Manchester City will not win this game comfortably. I expect this match to end in a draw. It will not be a surprise for me to see such a result, I feel that Manchester City cannot win this match. Even Liverpool can win, they've played very well in the last few weeks Smiley
Liverpool's internal situation seems to be rocking after Salah asked for a raise, this will be the start for other players like Mane who will also do the same. What's more, the international rivalry between Salah and Mane is unlikely to make them comfortable staying in the same team. This is of course the very opposite of their current main rivals, Manchester City are still in a completely better situation and also, even though their coaches are both great but still Pep is above Klopp. So in this case, I personally believe that Manchester City will still win the title this season, even though the match against Liverpool will be a draw, Manchester City will still be at the top of the standings.
I don't see the any internal problem within the Liverpool team at least not really visible because their performances game after game seems to negate that assumption. I think it is just a media thing, I don't see any rivalry between Salah and Mane even if there is, I don't see it affecting the team because both of them are top professionals. Remember Rooney and Ronaldo saga on international level back then but that season they did played well together at Manchester united.
2328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 31, 2022, 06:44:13 PM
I think the Italian Seria A standing shows that, the league is still open for clubs like, Ac Milan, Napoli, Inter Milan and Juventus, it's seven points between Ac Milan and Juventus and I believe if Ac Milan don't take there games too seriously, they'll definitely slide down the top spot.[
Competition is still open for AC Milan, Inter and Napoli although I think AC Milan will win the Scudetto this season. So far I have no doubts about AC Milan winning the scudetto even though it looks like Napoli and Inter are still likely to overtake them considering the difference in points is not too big.

I believe there is a good chance for AC Milan in the next game considering that Inter and Napoli will have tough matches. AC Milan must take this opportunity to take full points and create a safe distance from the competitors and I don't think they will fail this time.
It is a miracle Napoli are not just competing for the top four but also in the race to win the title. Inter Milan seems to have lose their winning touch since the Milan derby and many football pundits are already ruling them out of winning the title. AC Milan and Juventus seems to be the favorite but any of the top 4 team at moment can clinch the title. Roma will somehow manage to get a spot at Europe when the season ends.

Portugal has done its job very well. Pity Ronaldo couldn't score a single goal but Fernandes did a double. But most of all I am amazed that Poland finally managed to beat Sweden. The chances were about equal, but even Zlatan Ibrahimovic couldn't save his team. I thought the Swedes would score at least one goal.
Congratulations to Portugal for qualifying for their 8th World Cup tournament and this would be Ronaldo fifth World Cup competition. Ronaldo not scoring is not a big deal, he had at least four Macedonian defenders around him all the time in the game so there's little or nothing he could as an individual but that created space for the likes of Bruno to thrive.

2333  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Help a newbie choose a better stable coin on: March 30, 2022, 06:47:13 PM
I'm looking forward to store some stable coin for future investment, maybe probably when a harder bearish market takes place to buy coins for lesser price but I can't seem to figure with stable coin can make me have a good night sleep at night with zero worries, USDT? BUSD?
You do know what stable coins are, right? I don't see stable coins as an investment. Usually, people buy stable coins just cause they prefer saving their money in crypto and like the "being their own bank" concept. Another reason people buy stable coins is simply because they are "stable" and not volatile like Bitcoin and altcoins. Traders on the other hand see stable coins as a money making tool one can easily use it to buy any crypto you wish in a dip.
I feel more safe with decentralized stable coins. BUSD is regulated, to me it's like purchasing CBDC. USDT on the other hand has not been transparent about their  backings. See my post here Is there really a Tether guarantee?
2334  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current discussion: World Cup qualifiers.. on: March 30, 2022, 06:18:16 PM
Honestly tonight I'm very disappointed and my enthusiasm is gone, I won 1-0 in the first leg but in the end Egypt lost on penalties, Moh one of the first kickers failed to score Mendy's goal, but I'm also very disappointed with Senegal fans always shooting leser towards Egypt goalkeeper, if Egypt kicks a penalty ball, Senegal fans are also busy shooting a leser in the face of an Egyptian player, I think FIFA should give a sanction to the Senegal national team.

I also believe that FIFA is obliged to take some action regarding these lasers. They are dangerous to the eye, in fact, they are weapons.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzY30Ah8bKY - Here is a video where such a laser bursts 100 balloons standing in a row.
And here is the face of Salah before he took the penalty

It was quite a disturbing scene to watch but again, the Egyptian FA needs to sit down and assess how they treat other African teams when they play them in Egypt. This is the first time, we are getting such ugly behavior from Senegalese fans and it can be trace to the fact they were badly treated while in Egypt. The Egyptians can't really complain because that was a taste of a medicine produced by them and have been using it for many years and getting away with it.
2335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ FIFA World Cup 2022: Qualifying Games For Qatar on: March 30, 2022, 06:16:22 PM
The match between Egypt vs Senegal was a serious battle to both teams because the two teams what to prove to their country that what happened in AFCON final that gave the Senegal penalty opportunity to won AFCON champion title 2022. At 4 minutes Egypt got an early goal that made Senegal to lose their confidence to win today match. Egypt has  proven to the world that they are more strong than Senegal in this tournament for defeated Senegal 1-0 to achieve the victory.
.
It's sad for an Egyptian fan or a football fan who wanted Egypt to win but the truth is the two occasions where Senegal have beaten Egypt, they were by far better than the Egyptians. Even Mane tend to be more influential and effective for Senegal than Salah is for Egypt. The laser pointed at the Egyptians during the penalty shootout has shift the focus of the game which is the Senegal side were actually better.
2336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: March 30, 2022, 06:12:59 PM
Barcelona is going to for sure win that encounter against Sevilla,but it's going to be a little tough though.Aubameyang and his hunger for goals this season at Barcelona is beginning to have positive impact on Barcelona has a team.His goals are beginning to decide games for the club,and that is a good sign that he will do well in seasons to come.
They will win Sevilla,but I think Sevilla will give them tough time to do that.

Aubameyang and Torres are playing great. Experienced Aubameyang is showing his ability. And he is showing how big a mistake Arsenal management has made by keeping an experienced player like Aubameyang out of the squad. On the other hand, the young Torres has been able to adapt to the team. Players like Pedri and De Jong are also playing an important role in the team's victory.
However, I have not seen a better performance from Fati and Dembele yet. Fati was included in the squad considering Messi's replacement. Will he be able to become as experienced as Messi?
The truth is Aubameyang have really brought his quality to the team and moreso, even upgraded as a player. He seem to be a perfect team for the team, same goes for De Jong who seem to have revive his career since Xavi took over.
For Dembele, his problem has been injury and consistency, he is not very clinical at goal but for creating chances he is good. Gavi, Ferran, Pedri, Torres and Ansu Fati are the future of these Barcelona team and hopefully, it will be a bright future with them because with the like of Xavi as their coach, they are going to turn into super stars.

Snip
They are usually playing a hardcore defensive system where the whole defense and midfield try to do whatever it takes to not let the other team have easy positions. This could result with the players resulting to hard fouls just to make sure that the other team knows they can't have an easy chance.

This is not only good in a tactic way, but it is good in psychological way where they would be able to put the other team in a fear where the other team would feel like they can't just go out and playmake, they have to be quick to get rid of the ball if they do not want to get kicked. This could result with a good result for ATM, or it could result with a red card and switch the balance of the game.
Committing a hard violation will result in ATM players getting a red card from the referee, this is what ATM players must avoid so as not to harm them because of a lack of player balance. The ATM style of play will make the opposing team dare not keep the ball at their feet for too long, this condition is what Diego Siemone wants to damage the psychology and plans of the opposing team.
City who still want to win the UCL must be able to get past the obstacles from ATMs, Pep Guardiola is well aware that he will have difficulty with ATMs, but Man City must find a way to score goals against ATM.
This Diego Simeone's  team have been known for their defensive style of play and pretty well, they have been successful with it so far they been able to have kept more Champion's League clean sheets than anyone else since Simeone first appearance in the UEFA competition. City major challenge will be how they will be able to break down the defense of these atletico side or probably get the like likes of De Buryne to try shooting from distance because holding on to ball possession will make atletico to be pretty comfortable.

There are many rumors circulating that Manchester United want to find a replacement for Ralf Rangnick at the end of the season, they are eyeing Pochettino from PSG, because PSG are also disappointed with Pochettino for not being able to bring his team to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, PSG are also looking for a replacement for Pochettino, it was reported PSG is approaching Zidane, do you think Manchester united can bring Pochettino back to England, and can PSG persuade Zidane to be willing to train PSG???
I don't think Pochettino will be suitable for Manchester United and i think whoever will be the next manager will take on a difficult task and besides Pochettino there were several big names linked to Manchester United such as Erick Ten Hag and Roberto Mancini but Manchester United owners are still not officially to decided which coaches will be the next manager of Manchester United but according to several sport news portal seems Erick Ten Ham who has a good chance to become the next manager
Pochettino isn't a bad coach, he has done pretty well in his career but I'm afraid he isn't the best choice of manager for Manchester United,  he can build a squad pretty well but he can't go to the next level and win big titles and titles is what Manchester United wants. They really need a coach who can actually have them winning titles again and Pochettino's record says he isn't the man to do that. Erick Ten Ham and Mancini on the other hand, are proven serial winners.

trust wallet from play store is my first time to get across of it today, but i believe that your funds is secured provided you have your seed phrase.
Wallet security isn't only about keeping your seed phrase safe. The type of wallet you store your bitcoins is equally as important.
I've had pleasant experiences with TW and Coinomi for years despite being labelled risky. Sometimes, one begins to reason that the issue with closed source thing being risky has to be majorly a thing with the developers going rogue after a while.
It takes only a day to destroy a reputation built for years. Events that have occurred in the forum prove that. For you it boils down to trust. It's your personal decision to trust the developers of a closed source wallet even if you realise they have the power to rip you off at anytime without you knowing. I find it difficult to do that. The only "trust" we have in crypto is the blockchain. That's what separates us from those that believe in traditional currency/fiat imo
