The board really needs moderator, someone that can be able to look after the board and i don’t think there is a better person than Igebotz. You have been doing a good work for the board and the forum at large and we all appreciate the little things you have done andd how you have been trying to fight spam in the board.

When there was no too many spam posts i was quite active in the local board and things was a bit more interesting but then suddenly the rate of spam increased and i got a bit more discouraged to communicate here although i always visit the board and read some interesting topics i am able to find. I have always wanted a moderator for this local board so as to reduce the level of spam and i hope Igebotz get approved to become a moderator for the board because he has proven to us that he is capable and he cares about the success of the board.

Liverpool lost again tonight. It seems Liverpool doesn't want to be champions.
Arsenal will now wait for Manchester City to drop points, I hope they do.
Things are going well for Arsenal right now, but they should definitely not lose points. If they lose points, M.City will be champions again.
It really seems like Liverpool doesn’t want to be champions because the way they are playing and losing doesn’t look as if they want to win anymore. Liverpool have been dropping too many points recently which is very bad for a team challenging for the title, their performance have dropped massively and i never expected them to lose to Everton a team that got trashed by Chelsea 6-0 despite Chelsea not being consistent with their performance. Everyone seems to be available for Liverpool so i don’t see why they'd be performing badly, Salah m, Nunez and Luiz Diaz were all available and i expected more from them.

I don’t think Manchester City will want to drop points knowing fully well how those points are important to them, they have a match today and still have an outstanding game to play and they are just 4 points behind with two games to play. The league is still very tight and we are still unsure who will end up winning the league this season.

There is no doubt that Xavi will succeed at Bayern, I don't like this idea, because Bayern feels like a comfort zone for a good manager to gain success. Xavi has faced a big challenge at Barca, he succeeded to win a league trophy while they have big financial problem. I think he needs a bigger challenge to fulfill his tactical idea in a more competitive league for a big club.

There are some options for Xavi like Chelsea, Milan or Liverpool. Premier League and Serie A seem to be more competitive with some teams can be the title contender, unlike La Liga and Bundesliga. I think many football fans want to see how Xavi will progress his managerial career, because, as a player, he was an intelligent players who had vision to read the game very well. People are expecting his tactics ability to fulfill in a more challenging league.
Xavi is not a bad coach at all i don’t know why Barca fans are criticizing him after every single loss but i think he is not a bad coach, he has won a league title for them and this season he was able to move the team to second place despite having a rough start this season so it shows he has something to offer even when his team has no money to buy him players. No one is perfect so mistakes are bound to happen.

I think Xavi is the perfect coach for Bayern because Bayern is a team that doesn’t require much effort as a team since they are the best in the league and all you have to do is just put in the right players and they will deliver. I feel he should go to the German league since the competition is high in the premier league but if he wants challenge then he should join the premier league.

Chelsea conceded 4 additional goals in the second half, it made them really fall. Arsenal performed great throughout the second half and they almost scored 5 goals in the second half, but so far they haven't had much luck. Obviously Chelsea performed worse than I expected, but this is the most difficult thing for Pochettino to improve this season.
It was a disappointing performance from Chelsea because everyone had hopes for them to challenge Arsenal and make them lose points but Chelsea was trash today.  I didn’t have chance to watch but with the highlights i saw i was disappointed that they conceded 4 goals in the second half.

I don't know how Pochettino will be kept for another season? Will he be given the opportunity to buy a lot of players again but this is a difficult thing to do if Pochettino does not have a good strategy, so far what I think Pochettino has failed to handle Chelsea he is not the right coach.
I don’t see any reason for Pochettino to be kept next season because i have not seen any impact or improvement from the team since the start of the season, it seems like he is not really teaching them anything because aa coach that has something to offer must have shown a difference but even with alot of players bought he still has nothing to show and still want them to sign new players. Even if they sign Ronaldo and Mbappe i don’t think Pochettino can make any difference with this team. We have seen Tottenham coach come in transform the team and from the playing style you will see the work he is putting in.

I am a temporary Chelsea fan tonight as they face Arsenal. Should be a tough game for Arsenal, I think Man City found it difficult against Chelsea in the FA Cup Semi Final.

So for one night only, come on Chelsea.
Was a tough game for Manchester City and they were lucky to win in my opinion, if only Chelsea was able to convert all their chances it would have been a different case entirely but the loss was all on Nickolas Jackson, if he had converted all the chances he had Chelsea would have been 2-3 goals up in the game and they would have won the tie.

I am also a Chelsea fan tonight and forever but with their poor conversion rate i don’t think they stand a chance in this game even though they are very good at playing stronger teams but i hope they win this match because i don’t want to see Arsenal win this title at all.

Well, Arsenal is good and willing to win all their remaining matches if possible. Chelsea has been good this days as they have some impressive performances in their last five matches even though there is no complete consistency.

I am also seeing this to be tough match for Arsenal because Chelsea knows how to play big teams, and if we remember, they almost win Arsenal in the first leg which ended in a draw, therefore, I am thinking it will be a draw match or a late win for Arsenal.
A draw will not be in Favor of Arsenal because they need maximum points desperately if they want to stand a chance to challenge for the title because they are already few points short and securing all three points will be the best thing for them.

Chelsea lack consistency but they normally perform well in such kind of games so it won’t be easy for Arsenal to win and i also think a draw will be the outcome of this match just as u said.

Cryptocurrency has really helped the lives of a lot of youth in the country and without it a lot of people will be suffering at the moment probably will be waiting for a white collar job to locate them which would probably not happen.

Cryptocurrency has made things much easier in the country and i know that cryptocurrency is not to be seen as a job but a lot of youths have benefited from it and has taken it more like a job since they earn money from it and I don’t blame them for that. Without cryptocurrency this would definitely be a little tough and challenging for so many people and we would have seen more number of people ending up as yahoo boys or scammers since the Government doesn’t really care about its citizens so people go to any extent just to make money.

You are right to criticize Antony but Cristiano Ronaldo came to this team a few seasons ago and failed. If Antony had transferred to Real Madrid I think he could have developed like Vinicius or Brahim Diaz. I think Antony's performance is determined by being in the wrong place at the wrong time as much as the ridiculousness of his signature move. The person who should be criticized at Manchester United is Erik ten Hag.

The best league for Antony would be Spanish La Liga. There were football commentators who said Mason Greenwood's football life was over but he had a good season at Getafe. I think Antony can do the same.
How would you say Ronaldo failed at Manchester United during his second spell at United and even go as far to compare Antony with Ronaldo. If Antony was to score Ronaldo’s goals during his second spell in a season it would be considered as his best season so far and everyone will say he is performing well, Ronaldo’s worst season will be an achievement for Antony so never compare those two.

Antony is not so good else he would still be able to perform well at Manchester United, i don’t think if he joined Real Madrid there would be any much difference. Ten Hag and Antony are really flops and they don’t deserve to be at United at all. Even at La Liga he would still suffer unless he joins a smaller team. I still prefer Greenwood to Antony any day.
249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: April 22, 2024, 02:02:37 PM
I was quite worried because Madrid lost the first minute of the game, but they were able to overcome that problem they could even win. A very profitable victory, because Real Madrid will increase the points gap with Barcelona. 11 points is quite a lot for Barcelona to catch up. This opportunity should be used by Girona to be able to chase 2 points from Barcelona. In calculation, it looks like there is still a chance, but statistically, it is quite difficult to make it real. Currently Barcelona must fight to stay at number 2 in the final standings.
Real Madrid are surely winning the league this season and have proven that they are the best in the league so far as they have now beaten Barcelona home and away. I had doubts when they were a goals down and i thought Barcelona were winning but Madrid still show that they are the best once again and were able to come back and still win the match.

Lucas Vasquez showed a brilliant performance from right back and no one expected him to play so good as Carvajal was not available, i think the fans and players need to praise him well enough for such a display. Bellingham was able to score the winning goal at stoppage time to secure all three points for Real Madrid. The team performed well and also i think the coach should be appreciated for his good work on the team.

Manchester City is a club that doesn't like to give up in any of their games but they have a hard time playing against the top 5 club in the Premier League this season. Look at their match against Chelsea, Manchester City was able to defeat Chelsea in the FA Cup with a narrow victory, not any win in the Premier League games this season.
This season have different for them as they find it difficult to win any of the top teams this season except Manchester United who have been struggling due to poor defense. Manchester City are not at their best this season and it is probably why they have not run away with the lead to win the trophy despite Liverpool and Arsenal dropping points on multiple occasions. They also find it difficult to win matches and also dropped points too on multiple occasions.

It is still a tough situation on the title challenge because it is still not clear who will win the title this season but i still feel Manchester City have advantage over Liverpool and Arsenal.

251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 21, 2024, 10:33:43 PM
I really thought that maybe today is day that Leverkusen will be losing after i have seen that Dortmund was leading at the 88 Minute.
(...)

Coming back from that was nothing short of a football miracle. They didn't even have to win or even draw, as they are already secured as the new Bundesliga champions, but denying Dortmund the win, just reinforced Leverkusen's invincibility aura.

Unfortunately for Dortmund, they are now 2 points behind Leipzig for the 4th place. Both teams will be facing each other next week, so Dortmund will have to win that away game if they're hoping to finish in the top 4.
All this miracles happening in favor of Leverkusen have proven that this is their season so i am not surprised seeing them equalize at extra time because they have done it times without number this season. Miracle seem to happen whenever they play and that is how you know it’s their time to shine because when a team wants to win the league that is how they behave they never want to lose matches and they keep performing magics especially during stoppage times.

I felt they won’t be able to pull any stunt against Dortmund but they proved me wrong and show that they can perform better in the Europa League as well. It won’t be easy though but i really support them to win the Europa League title.

Indeed Arsenal had a tough outing against wolves yesterday and I commend them for putting more effort to win wolves because it was really a difficult match for Arsenal because wolves really made it hard for the gunners by playing a solid defense but at last Arsenal made it through. Martin Odegaard have become an important player for Arsenal and his awesome display made him score the second goal for Arsenal towards the ending part of the match.
It doesn’t matter how they play all that matters is the points and they got it. They just need to keep up the consistency of winning and keeping trailing Manchester City to mount pressure on them in case they drop any point. Wolves was strong but Arsenal was stronger and the win meant alot to them. I love the spirit of the game and the intensity both teams showed but more credit should be given to Trossard for always showing up for the team when they needed someone, i feel Arteta should value him more and give him more playing time because he loves scoring goals and goals always helps a team with a good defense like Arsenal.

I have to think that Musiala would not be for sale anyway, that is not even a news. When you are a big team like Bayern, you do not really need to consider to sell any players. When a team is small, they will have to sell some of their players to make some money, even a team like Dortmund had to sell their players all the time to keep it growing, and yet Bayern do not need that.
Sometimes some players don’t usually enjoy life at a certain club due to certain circumstances regardless of the how big the team is and that is the same case Mbappe is having at PSG, PSG is not a small club at all but we all understand that Mbappe needs to leave and join a more suitable club and same can be said about Musiala because we all know how good he is but he is not yet reached his peak performance because of the team he plays for so i think joining a more suitable team like Mbappe will be the best thing to do.

Smaller teams build players so that bigger teams can purchase them from them not because they want to grow, to them business comes first and that is how they generate revenue to pay their players and staffs but it is not the same for bigger clubs, bigger clubs buy promising stars to maintain their standards and win trophies because that’s how they generate their income and pay their players and staffs.

With their performance, one can conclude that they can overcome all their matches by winning them all, but in reality and as far as football is concerned, it’s possible but they can as well lose some or draw some of the matches and the matches might be a match one lost expected.
You are right, football cannot be easily predicted and even with an easy fixture it is not guaranteed that they will win all their remaining games. We have seen big teams lose to relegation sone teams towards the end of the season because this is the period they desperately need points to survive and escape relegation so football can happen and we might see a dramatic match.

On the one hand, their failure to advance from the Champions League to the semifinals had a positive impact on the Premier League and FA Cup.
As they are eliminated in the champions league they can now fully focus on the premier league title and also the FA cup so they don’t end the season without winning a trophy. But then same thing happened to Liverpool and Arsenal and now the three teams can now focus fully on their league games which will now make the race more intense.
255  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Always do your own research (DYR) on: April 19, 2024, 10:01:26 PM
I found this image on WhatsApp and wanted to share it here as a message for everyone in our forum. In the crypto world, prices can change a lot especially during Bear season. Even though you might have the same amount of coins their value in the market may reduce drastically. This can be scary especially for newcomers who might not understand how it all works. In the image above ,someone introduced a newbie to crypto without explaining the risks or advising them to do research first. Now the newbie is upset and asking for his money back.
Something we should learn from this is that before investing in anything, it's important to do your own research and understand how it and the market works. If you introduce someone to crypto, make sure they know about the risks of volatility.
Newbies mostly join crypto because of what they hear about people making money from it and without learning much about or seeking any kind of knowledge they just jump into it and waste no invest in it. You will find it difficult to be successful in something you know nothing about but newbies don’t bother because they are blinded by the profit of others. There is more to crypto than just buying and holding, aa lot of things needs to be understood first or better still having basic knowledge about it is enough to keep you going for a start.

Understanding the risk involved is important because crypto has a 50/50 success rate because of it’s volatility and without properly understanding the market behavior it is easy to lose money, losing money is normal whenever the market crashes and it affects everyone including experts but the major factor that determines success in crypto is patience, having the patience to withstand the temptation to sell your assets when the price is down is an important attribute every investor should possess but clearly any newbie without knowledge will lack this. Sometimes newbies have the wrong mentor when being introduced, they are not being educated properly about it and that is also part of the reason newbies lose money in crypto.

Let's be careful about how we introduce others to crypto investing.
This is a serious advice that shouldn’t be taken for granted, there have been cases of people being accused for introducing others and leading them into loss so we need to be careful who we introduce. People get doubts when they are involved with others regarding money and some people will even leave aside their friendship and challenge their friends for misleading them because money is involved.

Everyone's hopes could not come true in the Europa League this season, because we had predicted that Liverpool would be in the final, but Liverpool had to experience another fate and losing by 3 goals in the first leg was the turning point where they had to be eliminated by an Italian team. That. The hopes of Liverpool supporters to see them succeed in Jusrgen Klopp's final season must fall one by one.
It is bad for Liverpool at the moment, they have dropped out of form and both In the premier league and other competitions they are not performing so well could be due to players out injured but i feel it is due to attackers that are currently out of scoring form because they are all missing so many chances especially Nunez and Salah.

Few weeks back we all predicted Liverpool vs Leverkusen final but Liverpool failed to beat Atlanta and they got disqualified, now i hope Leverkusen will not dissappoint just as Liverpool did, i hope they go on and win the trophy to complete their unbeaten run this season.
257  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Invest small money and get big money avoid them. on: April 18, 2024, 02:39:57 PM
Greetings my fellow Naija people.

I don't know why some people are still falling into the traps of those people that will call you for phone or meet you one on one and introduce fake decentralized investment, that if you invest #100,000 you will get #200,000 within a week. Someone came to share with me that there is a BTC investment one of his neighbor introduced to him, that when he invest on it through him , my friend will get double profit from it but the minimum anyone can start with is #500,000 above, that the numbers of people they want in that BTC investment is almost complete, that he came to seek advice from me if such decentralized investment is real. But I told my friend to run alway from them, that those guys are scammers and they don't have any knowledge about BTC investment. Did I give him a good advice ? What is your advice to such person.
Some people fall victim probably due to ignorance but the major reason why people fall victim to such scam is greed, they get tempted by the return not knowing that no one has any free money to give. Any investment that promises 100% profit or profit that sounds to good to be true is a scam investment, they are just trying to get people’s money so they can run away with it.

E de surprise me how people still de fall for these kind things but i guess some people still de ignorant of plenty things for this life and if you never come across these kind scam before or if you no sabi person wey don fall victim before e go hard make you sef no believe am since huge money de involved. For me if person contact me telling me to invest in their platform i de always feel discouraged already and na red flag for me, if na true why you sef no invest your own money like 5 times and earn money for yourself and become rich. OP na good advice you give so anything that sounds too good to be true and promises high profits is most likely a scam and they should be avoided.

Many are teachers only few are traders. They make their money from selling trading courses, teaching trading classes, creating trading contents for YouTube and other social media. They have their own trading podcasts and collaborate with people like them to talk about trading yet, they have never been successful at trading.
Trading is not so easy and even experts find it difficult to make money from trading and again you can’t compare theory with practicals, theory is something that can be learned and understood but putting it into practice is not so easy as it seems and some people who teach others how to trade probably are not risk takers and taking risk is not easy and not for everyone. Everyone has their part to play in life just as teachers teach students to prepare them in their career path but they remain teachers themselves.

You ask yourself why don't they stop all these bs and just go back to real trading and you will immediately answer yourself that trading is hard work. It is easier to make reliable income streams from acting like a trader than actually in active trading where the market is volatile. It is easier to build a personal brand and audience in the short term than it is for achieving trading profits.

I do not like these people because, to me they are scammers. I have never seen anyone who follow them that eventually became a successful trader.
Making videos and dropping trading signals is easier than trading itself, most of these people are scammers and truth be told it is better to learn about trading yourself than to rely on some random people sharing signals and trading contents, they are humans just like you and if they can learn it so can you so why do you have to waste money to pay for their services? Depending on them is not ideal instead you should learn about trading, i know it is not easy but it is worth it.

When you follow online trading classes and you end up losing you will blame them for your loss and will be difficult to take correction but when you learn and trade with your knowledge and lose you can easily identify your mistakes and learn from it as experience is the best teacher.

Guys, what's your opinion on Cristiano Ronaldo at this moment?  

Actually, I don't think he should be so serious about his career anymore, the way he is trying to be. It still definitely looks like he wants to play the next World Cup and also he actually believes he will be able to win the next World Cup with Portugal. and the way he has been behaving in the field recently, it has not been very good. He could do those things and get away with them when he was in form and in his prime.

Well, I guess people could say that he is still in form. but being in form in Real Madrid or Juventus is very different from being in form in the Saudi league. It is really sad to see a player literally becoming the villain like this. But he should also understand that if he reacts to these things, people will do these things more and more.
We all know how motivated Ronaldo has always been and winning the world cup is his dream so since it will be his last world cup giving it his best shot is all he can do now, so if he says he wants to play the world cup let’s just support him and wish him well. Even at this age you will know that Ronaldo’s professionalism is outstanding and that has kept him relevant in football at this age, scoring so many goals at this age is not easy and leading the chart of the Saudi league highest goal scorer is an impressive achievement which shows that Ronaldo cannot be written off regardless of his age.

How do you mean? His behavior in the pitch performance wise or what, his performance his good for a player his age but if you mean how he reacts to criticism from fans then i would say u don’t know Ronaldo much, he has always been like this and always loves to react to criticism and according to him he says critics is what keeps him motivated to work even harder to prove doubters wrong. I know at this age he should stop reacting to criticism but i guess that’s just who he is.

This season, Haaland is not that good at scoring goals, so I was not surprised by his performance against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. Real Madrid's defense was so solid that they were able to make Haaland not score a goal in both Real Madrid's home and Manchester City's home. Even in the Premier League this season, Haaland is struggling to score many goals for Manchester City like he did for them last season in all competitions.
He definitely dropped in performance this season, it’s difficult to tell the reason behind his drop of form but his silence in recent games is something that needs to be addressed. This happens in football and sometimes even Messi and Ronaldo struggle too but they still get involved and show impacts in matches even without scoring but it is not the case with Haaland, Haaland seem to be silent in every big game this season with no impact to show at all and if he is not careful he might lose the premier league golden boot.

Yesterday’s game was another interesting game and Real Madrid show their defensive skills which was the only way they could stand Manchester City, City dominated throughout but the result is all that mattered and Real Madrid got it. Congratulations to Real for proceeding to the next round.
