Before their last two league matches, I was of the opinion that Arsenal will be a better contender for the English Premier League title than they were last season. Last season, they were close to winning the title that's eluded them since 2004 but were beaten to title by Manchester in the last few matchweeks of the season. After they started the season on a very good note, I thought they were gonna eventually win it but with their poor performance in the last two league games, that mindset have changed as now don't think they'll finish the season in the top two.

Mikel Arteta have been doing exceptionally well with Arsenal but the earlier he starts to win important trophies for the club the better for him

The early kickoff game between Chelsea and Luton Town yesterday was epic and entertaining especially to neutrals as the club's five goals were scored in that encounter but it was also raised some worrying issues about Chelsea and how vulnerable their defense have been since the start of the season and in most times have caused them defeats. In game they first went three goals up, Chelsea still had to struggle in the closing minutes to grab all three points from the game.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochentino really has a lot of work to do if he truly wants to make things work again. The team's defense is too porous and must be worked on

Another thing about choice of betting between single bet and accumulated bet is that in single betting, the bettor will focus solely on one game and learn about the outcome which sometimes makes him very nervous. For instance, if in his single betting he predicted the both teams to score, he's very likely to watch the game while hoping that at the end of the day the two teams are gonna score so if there's any attacking play by any of the teams, he'll be nervously limping for a goal which sometimes wouldn't even be converted.

But when a bettor stakes on accumulated games, there are options in the game that he's very likely to forget during time games and might not even worry himself till the end of the whole games in his slip before checking if he won or not. So when a bettor is not good in managing nervity, accumulated betting I think should be preferred.

In whatsoever we do in life for there to be a balance there should be some iota of the good part and the iota of the bad part of it. In gambling it is either you are winning or you are losing. There is no way a gambler will keep winning and winning without losing at some points. And there is also nowhere a gambler I will keep losing and losing without winning. No matter how we claim that we gamble for fun if we continue to lose without winning you will get frustrated and begin to chase losses. To strike the balance we need to lose and also win to make gambling the fun it is supposed to be.

Generally, the perception of gambling being for fun is based on the financial strength of the gambler. A very rich gambler who does not depend on the returns from gambling to earn a living could comfortably see gambling as fun even if their losses are greater than winnings. But a poor man who does not have enough for himself and continue to lose in gambling even if their initial intention was to see gambling as fun, the excessive losses will automatically make the feeling of fun to go away from him. The spirit of frustration take over him either to continue chasing his losses and become addicted or to quit gambling.

The signing of Victor Roque of you ask me is a very good idea and a great deal for Barcelona considering their current options in the striking role at the club. Robert Lewandowski who's playing in his second season at the club was instrumental to the club's Spanish La Liga triumph last season but since the start of the season, he hasn't been as effective as he was in his first season at the club.

Lewandowski has suffered injuries in recent months that's limited his playing time at the club and considering his current age, it's obvious that he can't be productive as he used to be and that's it's a good move to sign a young striker who can learn from him in the second half of the season and replace him when he eventually leaves the club next summer

One of the main problems of Paris Saint Germaine since the their current owners took over the management of the club is that they spend all the huge money to buy big players and expect an immediate success and that has been working for them in the league but not in the UEFA champions league competition and if they really want to succeed in the UEFA champions league, they'll have to learn how to be patient with the process and build a team that'll end up winning club football's biggest trophy for the club.

If they can start doing a long-term plan at the club, I think they'll have more chances of winning the UEFA champions league than what they're current short term strategy.

Just this evening, Roma lost their Italian Serie A game against Juventus to further reduce their chances of finishing in the top four of the Italian league at the end of of the season. But one thing about their performance in that game is that they had a good performance in that game but couldn't create and convert goalscoring chances in the game.

Against Feyenoord, Jose Mourinho knows that losing that two-legged tie means his team is gonna be eliminated from the competition and therefore will introduce his best tactical approach to make sure his team reaches the next round of the knockout stage. Feyenoord will definitely not want to sit and watch Roma eliminate them from the competition, and will surely want to give their best in the game. But I still believe that Roma have a better chances of progressing at the expense of Feyenoord

The best way to go about gambling is to gamble moderately. If a gambler is actually gambling for fun if they continue to lose at a time that gambler will have to be examine their selves and refrain from gambling. But an addicted gambler will never have the time to re-examine their gambling habits. Addiction is like religion that people hardly give up on, if they understand that such religion is faulty but since they are used to it and do not know other ways to go they will continue in such religion. What happens in gambling when someone feels that the only place that they get fun from is gambling so if they stop gambling where is will they have fun.

The two set of people that continue to gamble even when they are losing are;
1. Addicts
2. People who sincerely gamble for fun

Sometimes, I don't think it's as a result of a players inability to play good football when he's called upon to represent his club that makes his club manager to bench them. I think it's something that has to do with the manager's preference for players in a certain position. Matthijs de Ligt is one defender that's capable of making it to the starting VI of any team in the world but it seems his kind of football is not preferred by his club manager Thomas Tuchel.

Tuchel probably doesn't fancy the Dutchman because is the player's style of defending. However, there are rumors that Real Madrid and Arsenal are seriously in contention to sign him away from Bayern Munich and I hope he finally leaves in the January transfer window to a club he'll get more playing time so he can be fit to participate for his country in next summer's UEFA Euros tournament

Even before they lost to Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro league, last month Al Nassr have been on a good run of form in the  Saudi league but but their only problem is that Al Hilal have been more consistent than them. After the completion of 19 league games in the league, Al Hilal are yet to suffer a defeat I'm the Saudi league while their rivals Al Nassr have already lost three games after playing the same number of league games.
Despite Al Nassr failure to be at the top of the league table, their star player cristiano Ronaldo hasn't failed to be at the top of the league scoring chart as he's been able to record 20 league goals.

Both gambling ng online and gambling offline has their different level of risk. I cannot emphatically say which is better among the two, but I can state the obvious difference between them which will enable you to draw a conclusion according to how it affects you. When you talk about gambling online there is a very much likely hood that you will lose much amount of money because no one will know about your gambling habit unless you inform them about your gambling habit. If you are someone that is so emotionally strong you could lose thousands of dollars and still keep it to yourself and be dying slowly.

In the other hand someone who gambles offline will always get some advice from people when they are going extreme. One of the disadvantages of offline gambling is that the pressure of peer groups could make you gamble above your budget and again, whenever you have a big win your friends will also want to share from it which might not happen when you gamble online because they would not know when you win.

Real Madrid management gave the fans the best Christmas gift by extending extending the contract of Carlo Ancelotti at the club to the summer of 2026. The Italian manager have been very instrumental to the club's success in recent years as he has used his managerial experience to bring solutions to some of the tactical issues at the club.
After Karim Benzema left the club last summer, the club was without a recognized striker and that raised concerns about Carlo Ancelotti's ability to manage a Madrid team without a striker but he's been able to efficiently manage the team by converting Jude Bellingham who was known as a central midfielder at Borussia Dortmund to become a false 9 and that decision has worked well for the club

It's surprising to see Manchester United losing to teams with lesser quality of players but even more surprising that the clubs manager Erik ten Hag is still keeping his place at the club despite all the poor results that is supposed to warrant a sack from the club's management. Considering the quality of players in Manchester United, the club is supposed to have a better performance and in a better position than they are currently.

In the UEFA champions league competition, the club finished bottom of a group that's consists of Bayern Munich, Galatasaray and Copenhagen and now, they're still struggling against teams like Nottingham Forest in the league. The earlier Erik ten Hag is sacked the better for the club's management

I think the choice of sports betting between single and accumulated betting depends on the kind of betting a gambler wants stake on. For instance, if he's trying to stake a huge sum of money in betting, single betting is the best option because it's less likely to lose in single betting than accumulated betting but if the same person is trying to stake little amounts, then it's advisable he chooses accumulated betting.

Your opinion is absolutely valid. Gambling like you said is about how lucky a gambler can be and not necessarily how strategic or experienced he is in the game of gambling and that's why it's not advisable for one to want to make a successful career in gambling because the person might not be lucky enough to succeed in it.

Gambling is best practiced when someone is engaging in it as fun and not as a career and that's why majority of people who wants to see it as their own source of living, end up as gambling addicts

Juventus might not be playing the best kind of football, but one thing that's sure is the fact that they've been able to get wins in matches they weren't playing entertaining football. The club isn't playing in Europe and are very focused in the Italian Serie A as well as any other domestic games. Roma was a worthy opponent as they tried to savage a point from the game but Juventus made sure that Adrien Rabiot 27th goal was enough to help them grab all three points from the game.

Roma will be disappointed with the result especially the club's manager Jose Mourinho who did everything possible to change the result of the game especially with his substitutions. I don't think it's a bad result for Roma despite losing the game as they played like a team who really wanted a result

Considering how inconsistent Manchester United have been since the start of the season, I don't think the manager Erik ten Hag in any way have a clue of what best to do in other to restore the club and bring the club back to winning ways. Yesterday, I was able to see an analysis of how inconsistent the club has been since the start of the season and all I can say is that the club is heading no where with the current manager.

Playing against a team like Nottingham Forest, Manchester United played like a team who were playing against a top club in Europe as they struggled to get a win in that game. If the club management truly wants to see a rise in the club's performance, they must sack the current manager and hire a better one

Chelsea's inconsistent performance in the English Premier League this season has made it very difficult to predict their games even when they're a supposed  smaller team. Luton can not be matched with Chelsea when it comes to football strength and quality of players in the two clubs  but because  of the surprising defeats Chelsea have suffered in the hands of smaller teams this season,  I think there's every possibility of another defeat today at Luton.

Luton Town have been playing well as an average Premier league team and wouldn't want to lose today's game against Chelsea but because of Chelsea's superior attacking  talents against Luton,  I think the games is gonna produce a lot of goals.

The Kylian Mbappe potential transfer to Real Madrid has been talked about in football transfer forums for too long and it has actually been debated by many on wether it's possible for the move to materialise or not. Real Madrid have been trying to sign  the France international for too long ago and I think  there's every possibility that the player is gonna join them anytime soon. Paris Saint-Germain management I believe isn't  ready to let go of their best player as they've been doing all their best to make sure he extends his contract with them.

Real Madrid started the season without a recognised striker after the club's former captain  Karim Benzema left the club in the summer and ate doing everything possible to bring Mbappe as his replacement.  Hopefully,  he's gonna join the club next summer or probably in the winter transfer window

While your way of handling your losses in gambling is absolutely  fine and ideal, other people tend to have contrary measures of handling their gambling engagements. I've been opportuned to see gamblers who will always want to transfer the aggression that was brought upon them by their losses  in gambling to other people around them and that's absolutely childish if you ask me.  Gambling is one engagement that is solely meant for adults that have a mind of their own and that's why it's advisable for people not to engage in gambling if they can't  control the effects of losing in it

There are platforms who gives out gambling codes to the public to use and gamble and a lot of people are good in using those codes to gamble and immediately blames these platforms when they're their money which I think is not expected from a gambler because those codes are purely people's predictions about games and there's no guarantee that it'll play our the way it was predicted.
