Arsenal coming very close to winning the league last season must have given them the morale that they can do it this season. I think Arsenal are well placed to challenge for the EPL title again this season but are once again in need of reinforcements. Right now, they are in desperate need of attacking recruits after a poor run of form that has seen their EPL title challenge stutter.
Somehow I don’t really know if the team isn’t firing or it’s the inefficiency of their strikers, but they played last season and it wasn’t dependent on a striker bagging in goals but spread across the team and that was why they had the most goal scorers in a team. I don’t really understand why they haven’t been replicating that form of last season. Whatever they switched to this season has affected their efficiency.
Arsenal main problem is a striker, they need a reliable striker that can guarantee them twenty plus goals a season not like Jesus and Nketiah that cannot even score up to fifteen goals a season; although their wingers are scoring goals, and their midfielders as well, but the entire team need to take the same mentality they had last season because they were on a very high form and they come close to winning the league last season. They also have the chance to keep their title challenge if they were able comeback strong after their poor performances in their last two Premier League matches because they misuse their chances of going on top of the League, but not as expected, they were not able to win these matches, but if they go some winning streak, they can regain their balance and still stand chance to win the League this season. |

It wasn't entirely Lewandowski's fault, but if you look at the attacking lines of the last 15 years, then they are now not even close in quality to what they were used to at Barcelona. I understand the frustration when they are still longing for two strikers like Suarez and Messi, The attacking line Barcelona now has is much weaker. But it is not only the attacking line, it is the midfield and the defense that are both not as strong anymore.

If we compare the squad that Barcelona has had in the last 10-15 years, the differences are definitely different. The reason is that at that time Barcelona was in very good condition in all respects. Whether it's in terms of players or financial matters. So at that time Barcelona was able to bring in great players with high quality and very experienced coaches. So if you compare it now you will definitely see a big difference. That was how Barcelona was before. By then, there was no team that was doing better than what Barcelona was doing, and I think the problem was that things change because by then,and you can see that some players they were playing with are not playing football or some have already leave the team, and some teams that are here now have not been introduced by then. and since those teams come in, they begin to buy players with a huge amount of money, so I think basically Barcelona finances are not like before because they are not reigning like before. However, the team that I can compare to Barcelona at that time is Real Madrid; they were also doing very well by then. But, even now I don't think Barcelona is too bad and the quality of their players is also quite good. However, Barcelona only needs a few adjustments in each line of players. Because what I see is that every line still doesn't have good chemistry. So in this case all players and coaches must be able to build and fix all of this well. Because if you only rely on one player like Lewandowski you definitely won't be able to. Because in the world of football, a team will not be able to win if it only relies on one or two players. So, all lines must remain balanced so that there are no large gaps that the opponent can freely penetrate. Apart from that, coaches must also always be given input by their players, because when they are on the field, it is the players who feel compatible and comfortable with their teammates. So if something is lacking or uncomfortable, the trainer can find a solution and fix it.
Exactly, and I think that is what is affecting Barcelona. A lot people have been saying that Barcelona are not doing well without mentioning their weak points, although personally, I have observed the squad and I didn’t see any weak points. The only thing I always think they need is what you just said: they should reorganise the squad well; they should stop depending on a player; one person cannot do it alone; he needs other players to assist, and I think that is what affects them. |

People will be expecting Manchester city to defend the champions league as most recent winners which is very possible but Manchester city may aswell loose out if they don't get their complete squad on ground as at when required ,it will be really soothing to see another team win the champions league this season.
even thought I also like Man City, I dont expect this team to win the title in the UCL, but I rather hope that Real Madrid can get the title because if Man City gets another title it will be boring on the one hand I am one of the people who really Like Real Madrid in depth, the performance of these two teams is very balanced, but we have to remember that Real Madrid is one of the most experienced teams in the UCL and I am sure that Madrid can win another title this season. If you think Manchester City winning the Champions League title this season will be boring, I think you only said it for the love you have for Real Madrid or because Real Madrid have been doing very well in the league so far, while Manchester City are just getting their performance back since the return of some of their key players. If not, Manchester City winning the Champions League title this season is still a good thing, and it’s a very big achievement for the team because they only won last season. So if they try and win the title this season again, I don’t think it will be the case because they deserve the title this season. However, both Manchester City and Real Madrid are doing well in the Champions League, and both of them are looking for these tidbits so we can decide, yet there are still more matches to be played. Furthermore, Real Madrid is not the only experienced team in the championship league. There are other teams also, and Manchester City is also among them since they won the title last season. |

Atalanta had the opportunity to play against a very weak team yesterday and that's why they beat Frosinone yesterday with a huge margin of 5-0. Although such a match is very boring to watch, I like yesterday match because a team like Atalanta managed to beat a team 5-0. Atalanta completed 3 goals within 14 minutes of the start of the game and then their opponents Frosinone nature gave up. Atalanta are now in the 5th position of the points table which is a good enough position for them. In the next match they are expected to move up to the fourth position as they are only 1 point behind the fourth placed team.
The match between Atalanta and Frosinone is not an interesting match to me, and Atalanta winning with such goals is not something to surprise because we all know that the team they played with is a very weak team and Atalanta are doing much better in the league. Furthermore, Atalanta is looking for a goal to go higher in the standings, so I was expecting them to perform well. However, Atalanta played at home, so they still have the energy of being at home, which means even if the team is a little strong, the game will be a tough match for them because both of them will dominate the match. Irrespective of whether the home team or the away team. |

We've all been there, that moment of realization when you remember selling your precious Bitcoins years ago and wonder if you missed the boat. Well, take a deep breath, because im here to remind you that in the world of crypto, time is always on our side!
It might sting a bit to think about what could have been if you held onto those BTC, but let's not forget the golden rule of crypto: it's a marathon, not a sprint. The market is dynamic, and opportunities are ever-present.
We mostly regret most times when we remember the amount of bitcoin we hold in the past; but sometimes we sell due to conditions that we cannot bear without selling the bitcoin we have. Everybody will be happy if we don't have any problem that will come our way which will lead us to touch our savings, because mostly what we sell to solve some of our problems is becoming very valuable after a while. It is always good to have extra source of income so that you can hold your bitcoin for long, and that is when DCA method will be favorable so that you will be able to forget about your bitcoin. |

The months leading up to the Bitcoin halving is when Bitcoin prices is at it's lowest.
Anyone new to Bitcoin needs to buy from now until the halving. Bitcoin prices always go up after the halving from 2016, 2020 and now 2024.
Bitcoin price is not predictable, no one will know when the price will be very low to buy, that is why DCA method is the best method of buying bitcoin irrespective of the price if you will be holding your bitcoin for long term. You can also buy from now since the price is still reasonable as it is not yet up to its all-time high. Buy now and enjoy letter. |

I have read on the forum that people can still exchange their money for crypto currencies without kyc with bisq and robosats. then why many peoples don't buy their crypto's this way? Can't people withdraw them or what?
Centralized exchanges are mostly government approved exchanges, they are mostly trusted when it comes to exchanging your crypto for fiat because of their reputation and some governments has approved some of them; while DEXs are not mostly recognized by government because of their decentralized nature which include lack of KYC. And the trading volume and Liquidity is also one of the main reasons just as others have clearly stated. But when it comes to saving of crypto, avoid both of them and save your crypto in your wallet you can control and protect your private key. |

Glancing through the article https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-rent-agreement-argentina-landlord-tenant one would conclude adoption is striving in Argentina. Paying for a house with bitcoin sounds to me a mistake or lack of financial knowledge. Bitcoin is better than Fiat. Bitcoin increases in value and fiat faces inflation. Why then would one spend Bitcoin instead of fiat on a house rent which may expire in few years? Accommodating the Bitcoin can birth the person more money to pay his next house rent. But fiat wouldn't add any interest in the bank. Moreover the house owner will not hold the Bitcoin. Using bitcoin to pay for house rent is not a financial mistake, it is almost the same as paying with your local currency because they both have same value as at the time of spending them. What if you only hold bitcoin, how can you pay your rent? Are you going to convert the bitcoin into fiat before paying your rent or you will rather spend the bitcoin you have? I am not seeing this scenario as a bad action on financial aspect, the landlord might not even hold the bitcoin for long, therefore it is not a bad idea because we can only spend what you have be it bitcoin or fiat. |

Furst of all, congratulations on your dream come true as you have established your dream business, I wish you all the best in your business. Just as many forum users suggested, you can resize your image to make it user friendly because they are two big, you can use this code below to resize the image. [img height=200]image link[/img] My major setback now is the high transactions fees and congestion in the mempool but I've made provisions for my BTC Address to customers but for now they're still patronizing me in fiat.
Due to high transaction fee, and mempool network congestion, accepting bitcoin as a means of payment for a new business is not advisable. You leave it for another time when the transaction fee is low because considering the amount of each bottle an average person will drink, this transaction fee will affect the business; therefore, make it uptional, or accept stable coins lie USDT, then you use the stable coin to buy your BTC. |

Truth is that Everton have performed well this season and if not for financial fair play point deduction, the club side will be battling for an Europa league spot at this stage of the Campaignl
I believe Dyche will turn it around completely and take Everton off relegation struggles
They started playing well after the points deduction due to financial fair play, and the outstanding performed displayed after the points deduction helped the team as they are now one of the toughest opponents in the Premier League especially while playing at the Goodison park. The competition of qualifying to Europa League is also not easy because the Premier League this season has so many teams that that are hoping to qualify to either Champions League or Europa League, but at the end, the quality and lucky teams will qualify to the competitions. |

I was expecting the Super Eagles should have get a convincing win against Equatorial Guinea. We lost a match we should have won with at least three goals. I have a issue with the comments of José Peseiro after the game, his response to why they flopped was ?God gives, God takes?. That was such an unprofessional comment to make, he should have addressed the mistakes in the game and promise Nigerians that they will do better in the next fixture.
The Super Eagle team's performance was very bad and below almost everybody's expectation, I expected them to trash Equatorial Guinea, but as the match started, I see the level of seriousness in Equatorial Guinea's players is far ahead of the level of seriousness in our Super Eagle's players, right from there, I knew that even if we were able to win them, it will be a narrow escape and we didn’t letter win the match. Our attackers missed so many chances that could have given us advantage over Equatorial Guinea but they have good defenders and a good goal keeper; moreover, their midfield is more stronger and well organized than Nigerian midfielders that’s why they played well and that’s why Nigeria did not win the match. |

Based on the goal to make big and quick money from crypto investments, Nigerian investors still dey show strong attraction for memecoins, NFTs, low-cap altcoins, and programs wey dey give incentives like airdrops and bounty hunting. For Nigerians, cryptocurrencies, especially stablecoins, still dey play small role as protection against inflation.
Not all investors have that aim to make it quick, you generalize the word investors to people that wants to make quick money in cryptocurrency, meanwhile because of altcoins some of them are going for, if they end up losing their money, they generalize it as cryptocurrency is scam meanwhile it is their own fault to go for projects that they think will give them quick money. For Nigerians, cryptocurrencies, especially stablecoins, still dey play small role as protection against inflation.
The fact be say no be all altcoins are unuseful because they get some coins wey be say one time e fih change your life, though most people do only rely on bitcoin alone, it a risky game you can even step ahead try another, the process in all is all about patience. Many investors don dea this crypto run tey tey, while some na newbie to the investing. Both the old and new what crypto run deal with na holding. Thats true, some altcoins are not worthy of our attention, while some have good potential. The best way is to make your research about any coin you are trying to invest in, then risk any amount you can afford to lose; but we still need to be patient because it is not one day quick money scheme, it is also a gradual process. |

E be like say the long waited period don reach abi , make we still dey expect? As e be now since some things occur, we don experience some kind bullish market, I believe say some people dey use this opportunity dey cash out style style and dey wait for opportunity to enter the market when e dey bearish. But as d matter be now, una still dey hope say the market go still bullish after the having just as e always dey happen after some months after the halving. This matter make we getha reason am https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5480692.msg63455338#msg63455338We are already smelling the bull run, so make we no lose guard. I no believe say this market go still go down that much again, BTC might not go below 40k$ again na why I they talk say make we no lose guard or talk say we de wait for the price to drop down before investing, and no be true because the price might not go down again, or it might probably go. Let's keep investing through DCA method so that we go they invest on coins of our choice even when the price is a bit high because we know say bull run, they come. The wrong thing to do now, do you think it will be the best option to sell now, not even after the halving just with this little bull run the market experienced now deemed it fit to sell. Only traders sells after getting a short term profit but those who understands the long term holding would pick the option of holding till even after reaching a significant price beyond the ATH.
You get point for that one wey you talk, but me no believe say any investor go live ihn coin after we reàch all time high before e dey fall back to bear market again. We need to be patient man, even investors do have patient which is a risk to be taken in order to get the maximum profit they need. Make sure you have patient and invest the amount you can afford to lose. |

Group B i think very interesting to watched because seems this couldn't be easy group for Ghana and Egypt that both teams has starting this tournament with dissapointing result and yesterday as the finalist from previous tournament Egypt was displayed poor performance this because they only able to gets draw result from Mozambique even Egypt almost lost in that match but luckily Moh Salah can able to equalized the scored from penalty kick at the injury time of second half and this goal also can safe Egypt to avoiding lost
Ghana also very dissapointing because they had just lost in the first match against Cape Verde with narrow scores and playing with some of the players who play at european teams just like Antoine Semenyo or Inaki Williams but it doesn't make Ghana dominate the match they even unable to develop their game and during the match Ghana only gets 1 shot on target which this is a poor statistics considering before this match they are the favourite especially from squad quality Ghana is much better compared to Cape Verde squad and after this loses if want to qualified Ghana have to win their next match and it won't be easy as they will be up against champion contender Egypt
Some teams are hyped before this competition while some are underrated. Nigeria, Egypt, Ghana, Cameroon, Ivery cost, Senegal, South Africa, and Algeria were all over hyped, people think these team will surely be the tough teams in the competition. But as we can see, almost all of these teams that has already played their first match did not have an interesting start, maybe the other big teams will give some possitive results when they play their respective matches. What i observed is that all the African countries that are present in this competition are well prepared for this competition, therefore, no team should be underrated. |

Bezema is clearly behaving in a very unprofesional way, and is very sad seeing this from a 35+ years old player, but we already know surely is because he wants to force a comeback to X team in europe, anyways is a bad behavior for his companions and the whole team including coach.
And do you think he can get back to his former team at this time of his age? There are many strikers in Europe top leagues that are finding their way to Real Madrid, I don't Benzema will be welcomed because he has lose form in Saudi Pro League as we expected him to give a top notch performance since he is a world class striker back then in one of the best teams in the world, but small strikers like Mitrovic and others overtake him in the Saudi Pro League, that's why I didn't expect him to go back Europe, he should just retire from football.
I think some players are starting to show their inability to stay in the Saudi Arabian league. Maybe for now only Ronaldo is truly enjoying his career in the Saudi Arabian league while other players are having difficulty doing so because they are still plagued by frustration and regret about leaving the European stage. We'll see whether Benzema will return to play with an elite European team like Manchester United or another team.
I thought as much either; but most of these players are aged and cannot cope with tough competitions in the European Leagues due to their age, I thin Saudi Arabian League will be the best place for them for now until young players start to join them. |

Milan are destroying Roma by 2-0 at the moment. Roma are just terrible in the second half now. They need to play much more active in the attacking line by taking bigger risks from now on. Mourinho must be wishing Dybala wasn't injured because he really needs him now as it seems. Lukaku - Dybala is the best duo in the attacking line for them in the squad currently. I don't think Roma will be able to make a comeback from this point. Maybe Milan have also had some inconsistencies in the league recently but I don't expect them to make a big mistake in a big game like this while having this score advantage.  EDIT: Roma have just scored and made it 2-1 now. Can this be a silver lining for them? We will see. Do you think Roma can score the equalizer to get point against Milan in this short time they have left? I think they can't because AC Milan need to win the match since they are trying to gain more points to close some gaps between them and Juventus, because of that, I am sure Milan will not lose this match because they are currently dominating the match by creating more attempts on goal than Roma. It is now 3-1 which simply means a game over for Roma. |

Today's victory was a payback to what Barca did to Real Madrid last season but the goals were just too much for a big club like Barca. This season is really a bad season for the defending champions as they are faced with difficulties. Real Madrid has already won one competition and I know that they will be the one to win Laliga to make it two. However if it happens that they win the champions league, it will be a trible season for them. Vinicius Jnr. deserves some respect in this game as he won the play that destroyed Barca. Kudos to Re Madrid for this great victory over their rival.
I am pleased with the result; Barcelona fans can finally accept that they have not been very successful this season; they need to sign more players to restore the club's dignity; and Xavi needs to put in more effort if he wants to succeed at the club. When Barcelona beat Real Madrid in practically every competition last season, Barcelona fans believed they had a great team; nevertheless, they have finally seen the difference in quality. If Barcelona does not improve this season, they may finish outside the top four. |

Their is no need for a fortunes ne teller to tell anyone one about who is going to win the game because it clear that the lords in the Germany league will still win this game with no stress. I have full guarantee that Bayern will not give anyone a chance to even win against them even as they are coming from the break. Because if you look at the previous games you will know that Bayern is not a team to joke with their play is always excellent and they are among the popular clubs doing very well from Dortmund. So expecting less from today's game.
Bayern will not actually give chance for any team to defeat them now because they are now facing a big challenge in the Bundesliga title race this season. Bayern Leverkusen is not willing to give Bayern Munch any breathing space as they are not also willing to lose any match especially as they are now having hope of winning the Bundesliga title this season since Dortmund that is always the close title contender is not on form this season, now Leverkusen are Bayern toughest opponents that's why Bayern will not take any chance as they will intend winning all their next matches. Statistics has shown that Bayern will be the team that will likely win this match because Hoffenheim's best result against Bayern in their last five matches was a draw, and even though they are trying to make it to either Champions League or Europa League next season, I think Bayern have to take these three points against them especially as they will be playing at home tonight. |

I also think Copenhagen did a really great work despite being the least favoured team in Group A. They played really fearlessly against all of their stronger opponents on paper. I say on paper because for example Manchester United showed a really poor performance and to be honest that performance deserved the last position. Copenhagen and Galatasaray were much more of a fighter compared to Manchester United. Anyway when we come back to the main topic Copenhagen's job is going to be very difficult in this phase of the Champions League. Because they are about to face the biggest title favourite which is Manchester City.  This is most probably the end of the road for Copenhagen as a result. Copenhagen has tried because even qualifying ahead of Manchester United and Galatasaray is a great job because they were the team people never expected them to qualify in a group with Bayern Munich, but they are the only team in the group that held Bayern Munich draw in the group stage match which has proven to us that they deserve to qualify according to their wonderful performance. On their match against Manchester City, I think it is almost a time for them to go home, they have tried but defeating or eliminating Manchester City will be very difficult for them even as they have a very good defensive line; they will try but Manchester City will eliminate them. |

Juventus this season have not shown any short of performance that will make one doubt their potential of not being able to win the Serie A this season. Inter Milan who are just above them are also not comfortable with the point difference and they’re also very serious with their games not to fall short of any point that will make Juventus have a closer chance to them. The league is still wide open and any of the teams that are currently in the top four positions of the table can still win the league.
We all know that the trophy this season only belongs to Inter Milan and Juventus because only these two teams are the most consistent since the beginning of the season and I don't think other clubs have a chance even AC Milan has come out of the struggle. The fight between the two teams is getting closer in the next 3 weeks we will see who is the most powerful club in the Italian League as well as the club closest to the trophy. I hope Juventus can do something great this season, Juventus have been missing the opportunity to win the title for too long. AC Milan and Napoli are just hoping to make it to Champions League next season, but they are not title contenders. Only Inter Milan and Juventus are in the battle of title race, and I think if Inter Milan is not careful, Juventus will overtake them because there is just two points behind them, and if they all keep winning, the match between the two of them will make the difference because I know Juventus can win Inter Milan. 2-0 after 1st half with 2 goals from Milik.
The game is not close yet, Frosinone is still alive.
This almost a game over for Frosinone, because even as they have more ball possession than Juventus, Juve dominated the match and were creating more chances which makes them the favorite to win this match. |
