401  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge on: March 15, 2024, 04:47:22 AM
Don't just focus on upper body and skip leg day btw, you know the biggest muscles of the body are in your legs. Smiley
Yea that is pretty correct though, push up must not only be for the upper body but legs should also be involved. but in this push up, the upper region is needed the most to build the muscles and the chest. In this type of push up the leg stand a chance to remain dormant till the push up is completed. But If you wish you could push up with your leg, it's just a matter of choice.

What I love most about pushups is that it doesn't just built the upper part of your body, it built every part of your body as long as you can keep doing it back too back till you get to your desired target.

Another thing about pushups is that, it's quite easier for a light weight person, than a person that have more weight or someone that has potbelly, so if you really want to keep up to the daily pushups till Bitcoin rise to 100k, you have to do some workout, because it's not that easy to push yourself up when you have too much weight,  so working out is also needed to strike a balance if you have too much weight.

Of course, all the teams who qualify for the next round are the strong teams. If they are not strong enough, they must be eliminated already.
However, I think there are some favorite teams to got to the final round because we see their performance looks more consistent than other teams. Man City, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid are 3 teams to be in the final based on the prediction of many people. But if we look at the result of the matches in the current round, only Bayern Munich and Man City deserve to be the favorite teams. Real Madrid looked a bit difficult to win against Leipzig, not sure if they can deal with the next opponent. It seems, the most convincing team is Man City. Will Man City be the champion again this season?  Undecided





Source: uefa.com
The quarter final qualified are strong teams and had impressive performance since group phase until 16 of round, left few hours later before quarter final match drawing and expected which the super big match are there any Spanish team will face each other on this round regarding they have three teams qualified to quarter final.
Indeed Manchester City had impressive performance since group phase until 16 round I don't sure they are favorite team, I want to see Manchester City have to face Bayern Munich or PSG on quarter final.
Regarding with quarter final teams left seems Dortmund is the only one weakness teams and most expected by all team face in quarter final, most lucky if quarter final drawing face with Dortmund than facing other difficult teams such as Madrid, Barcelona or Manchester City.

Among this team listed here, I think the most likely winners of this year uefa champions league is between Manchester city, Real madrid and Bayern Munich, because even if they are not doing that well, you can't take your eyes off them because Bayern Munich is a force in European football, underrate them at your own cost.

And as for the likes of arsenal, psg and  atletico madrid, I know that on their day, they are actually good, but I don't think they have all it takes to go all the way and take this title away from the likes of Manchester city, real madrid and Bayern Munich, I just feels like they are not good enough for such a task now, but they are going to play an important role on who is going to win it this year.
403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 15, 2024, 04:15:34 AM
In the last match played between Liverpool and Manchester City we saw how much Manchester City fought against Liverpool and Liverpool against Manchester City and in the end the result of the match was a draw. Manchester City and Liverpool are two strong teams in the English Premier League and when these strong teams enter the field as opponents, it goes without saying that the match will be tough competition. The performance of the match between Manchester City and Liverpool seems to show that Arsenal's performance needs to be improved. Arsenal are performing well but in the end they need to improve their performance to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool in the end.
Manchester City and Liverpool can be said to dominate and many say the two clubs are equally strong. But in my opinion, if I compare Manchester City and Liverpool from all aspects, I personally say Liverpool is superior. Why? The reason is, after I watched the match between Manchester City and Liverpool in the last few weeks, the final result of the match ended in a draw (1-1). At first glance, Manchester City and Liverpool appear to have equal strength, but in reality this is not the case. Because the important point that I can take from this match is in terms of the squad that Manchester City and Liverpool fielded. In midfield, Manchester City fielded their mainstay players from the early minutes. Like Halland and also De Bruyne. However, Liverpool had problems in this match because many of their players were injured. So it could be said that in the match against Man City, the squad that Liverpool fielded was not yet at its maximum strength. Because Liverpool's mainstay striker is also M, Salah was introduced into the field midway through the second half of the match. The reason is, in that match, M. Salah's condition had not fully recovered.

However, what surprised me was that in that match Liverpool managed to dominate the match well, even though they had a less than optimal squad. Meanwhile, in this match, Manchester City played with a very optimal squad. So from here I can judge that Liverpool is indeed better than Manchester City. Because, even though Liverpool's squad is not good, Manchester City still can't beat them. Especially if, for example, Liverpool plays with a complete and optimal squad. I'm sure Liverpool will definitely beat Manchester City convincingly. And regarding Arsenal, in my opinion so far their performance can be said to be very stable. So to be able to continue to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool, Arsenal must continue to maintain good consistency.

To me I really don't think that is the case here, as Liverpool is now, they are a top side, wether injuries or not, any players being that is on the field of play will want to give it all especially an opponent like Manchester city, a direct rival for the title, so it doesn't matter if most of the first eleven players were injuired, or not,  what will be very common among the lads is the motivation, because they don't need to be motivated against an opponent like Manchester city, the players would want to give their all regardless of who is on the field of play.

Another thing I have observed about this Manchester city side is that they are not as good as they where last season, because if you look at their records and statistics this season, it's only Manchester united they have won, among the top teams, unlike last season that they they beat almost all the top teams, so I think they have declined a little bit compared to last season, but as now and this season, Liverpool team is actually more equipped than they were last season, and I think they can go all the way.

I couldn't agree with you, because even in case of shitcoins long term investment you will get more or less profit. Yes ... you can expect incredible profits by investing in bitcoin. Shitcoins can't even come close to that.
yeah you can get some profit or less profit (or non profit or might endup with losses) , try to get my point trading shitcoins is less risky than holding them you should know . Most people trade shitcoins for short-term profit, accumulating and holding shitcoins is a complete waste , why waste those funds while there's is an epic investment like bitcoin. So I will say try and minimise the urge of trading shitcoins ( or gambling with your funds), by focusing more on accumulating bitcoin, to be in the safer side where you can be ease when accumulating and hodl.
Some people are so adamant about this shit coins of a thing. No matter how you advise them to leave shitcoins and turn their investments to bitcoin they won't agree until they run into troubles, by losing their funds. Some of them usually draw this line because they might have seen someone who got lucky with one shitcoins investment after losing several times and finally made small money. so those who are following their footsteps won't ever listen when you are telling them to leave shitcoins and come to bitcoin where there is life and more peace of mind, they won't ever hear. While I attribute some of their actions to ignorance.
Well I understand concept, but still is not their fault if you advice them and they still insist to continue, because one may have been into investing in shitcoins for long so it won't take just an advice to convinced that particular individual to see the risk attached to what they are doing, just As @ultrloa said one need to be consistent and show some proof and surely they would have a change of mind (or make some adjustments) , to stop risky their funds in some shitcoins and start accumulating bitcoin for long-term purposes (thanks ultrloa) . While those that still continue will only endup learning in the hard way ( which is from experience) and I would say sorry for your loss after getting yourself reckt.

again bitcoin has come to be stand firm all this years making it way out from all this shitcoins you will buy waiting for miracle to happen one day for you to earn much from them my dear comrade I will advise us not venture our money in any of this shitcoins roaming everyday in the crypto market or depending on any of them
bitcoin has never be the same league with those so called shitcoins, reason why all the other coins are altcoins except bitcoin, they are all alternative coins while bitcoin is the main main...😁

I really do buy to your sentiment here, their is no subtitles to Bitcoin, newbies especially, they think that because alt and shit coin gives better roi, making money out of it is that easy, they don't know that shit coin falls more than they rise, and to me, I sees it as gambling, because they know how dangerous it is and still ventures into it, but with Bitcoin, even though most times the volatility might be crazy, but I believe that your investment is secured if you are a long term investor, because those that will benefit mostly from Bitcoin are the long term thinker.
407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 14, 2024, 12:32:00 PM
Sorry, I don't expect Man City to win again EPL trophy this season. Man City may be the strongest team but they don't really perform well in the last few matches. Your brain can say Man City as the strongest candidate but my brain assumes Liverpool will be the strongest candidate. Sure, this is only our own perception!  Grin
Both teams are strong and it is very difficult to predict who will triumph this season and also we cannot leave Arsenal out of this debate because they have very good recently and are also a good contender for the league this season. We know what happened last season but I believe they must have learned their lesson from last season and will want to work harder this time to challenge for the trophy. Manchester City are really strong but they are not so invincible this season, a lot of teams have challenged them this season and they failed to be ruthless as they have always been which means other teams are up to challenge for this trophy as well.

It's very true that Manchester city is not as good as they were last season, but they are actually still a force to contend with, this season they have struggle against the bigger teams apart from Manchester united that they beat easily, all the three teams gunning for the premier league crown are really good to be frank, but majority of most neutral fan don't want Manchester city to win it again,  because the premier league is well known for it competitiveness, so if Manchester city wins it again, that would be a record breaking dominance of the premier league, because no club have won it straight four times, so to me I even prefer any team like arsenal or Liverpool to win it this time, to curb the dominance of Manchester city.
408  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: If you can't Invest in Bitcoin, buy assets on: March 14, 2024, 12:07:56 PM
When you go to the market to discover that a material that was sold for 50k last three months is now valued at 120k, what comes to your mind? The normal thing is to shout and point accusing fingers at our leaders and how bad the economy has become but do you know that you've walked into an investment opportunity and never knew or saw it?

If you're a good business person that knows how to read the times and study the market, there is so much you can make out of this consistent increase in the price of major goods in this country.

In this country, any real asset you buy today will be at least five times it current value in the next five years and if you think I'm wrong you can take yourself five years backwards and look at the prices of so many common stuffs like roofing zincs, cement, phones, all building material, lands and even normal vehicles.

As we set out part of our resource into Bitcoin investments, let's not close our eyes to the bounty opportunity that's available for us  to possibly invest into that will certainly yield a good amount of profit for us in five or ten years to come.


Initially when I saw the topic I thought you wanted to talk about asset like land, house, gold and many more , what you are actually saying is that we should hold our money in goods, so that as long as it keeps increasing in value, our money keeps on increasing, but you have to know that if the economy stabilized, and things go back as normal, you are actually going to run loss, to me, I prefer investing my money on something that gives me guarantee that I won't run loss on the long run, something like gold, diamond, land and real estate, if you have the financial
 power, and why can't I invest in Bitcoin? It's only someone that is uninformed or misinformed that wouldn't invest in Bitcoin if he has the financial power to do so.
409  Economy / Trading Discussion / Stay off any missed opportunity on: March 14, 2024, 10:06:09 AM
I don't know if here is the right place for this post,  but if it's not, please redirect it,.
For the short time I have been into this crypto industry, I have observed and experience many things, especially when trading the spot market, it's very important that you stay off any missed opportunity,  like if a coin has already rise to a very high figure, don't just try to look if you can salvage something out from that particular market, because the price of that particular asset  might collapse on you, you will be used to clear liquidity, so it's best you look for another opportunity, in another asset, than to try try to salvage something from the missed opportunity.

I know that most of us here might have experience such before, and have been used to clear liquidity in the past, but it's very important we learn from them, opportunities are countless in the crypto industry, what is required is just patience, just wait for another opportunity than to do anything that will make you lose money.

Their is a saying in our pigin ;  nothing for this  life, dy hide for ever. so nothing in us can be hidden for ever,  just like content, it can never hide when a leader is filled with it.

In this life, we can only give what we have and not what we don't have, most of this our leaders have no content, they have nothing to offer when in office and they wouldn't give way for those that have, it's only in Nigeria we make prayers for things government should be providing, just take a look at this current federal government, they actually don't have anything to offer to this country, instead they are making things much more difficult by fighting people they shouldn't have, till we have a leader that have content and knows what is governance, that's when we are going to know the importance of good governance.
411  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Nigeria children laid curse on their president on: March 14, 2024, 09:00:42 AM
Could it be because of corruption or bad governance that could inspired the northan Nigeria children to laid curse on president Bola Ahmed Tinubu?
Sincerely speaking, it's so dishearten to see that the children of a nation that are believed to be the leaders of tomorrow to feel so betray by their leader to the extend of laying curse on their president. Going by the present scenery of hardship, hunger and adjected poverty in Nigeria I think the reason of laying curse on Nigeria president by nothern Nigeria children is somehow justifiable because what country right now is as result government policies and incompetent corrupt leaders that have held the country captive for their selfish interest.

OP the title of your post is misleading because children didn't curse the Nigerian President, it was just a child. I am not sure you watched the video of the Nigerian child debating on mandatory voting. The pupil was just saying what he crammed and nothing more. Maybe a teacher just taught him what to and he just showcased it in a debate in front of teachers and his fellow pupil.

Causing the president is a punishable offence in some countries that could lead to imprisonment in some undemocratic nation. I blame the teacher for putting such harsh words in the mouth of a student. In the debate, the student even said that he wished thunder would kill politicians including the president. You don't teach a child to insult anybody even in the face of adversity.

I don't wish the president dead but he deserves to be impeached because he has brought suffering and untold hardship to the people of Nigeria.

You are actually right on this bro, it was just a single child, not children as stated by the op,  what I even sense about that video, is that all what that child said was planted in his mouth by the teachers , because if it was an adult like them that said that and went viral like that, it wouldn't be long when they would have call for their arrest, though of a truth, the hardship and suffering in Nigeria is too much, the high cost of living in having a serious effect on the common man, and the government don't even care.

I had of a story of how a man ran away and abandoned his wife and 3 kids, due to the financial pressure, so base on the fact that the wife cant handle the financial pressure, she took the children to a nearby church, and went and committed suicide, by running into a moving trailer, which eventually ran her off, so it's not just easy for most people out there, because the present economy is not that friendly.
412  Economy / Speculation / Re: At what price will you bitcoin holders sell if we have a major price spike? on: March 14, 2024, 08:20:38 AM
I have been thinking about when to start selling my 2 bitcoins I purchased for $21,000 each average price during 2022 lows.

I keep hearing things like we could spike to 200K really quickly and stuff like that, maybe in just weeks.

My question is when will you guys start to sell if we have a major spike?

I used to think I wanted to sell at 100K, but this is rising so fast I have been thinking more like 150K to start selling.

How will you sell, slowly into a spike or wait for a set price and just dump.



Actually as an investor, you need to have an investment goal, like how much you are expecting from this or that investment, how much loss you are will to take, because being a Bitcoin investor, precisely in the crypto space, the level of greed can be very destructive to our portfolio, because you might say from the beginning that, you will sell and take profit when the price reach 100k, but when the price got closer and closer, you will feels like it is too small that you want more, and you will fail to seize the opportunity then, and most times the the price will not got to your second price target, and it will reverse to a lower price, which you will be now forced to sell to a much more lower price because the price is declining very fast at that stage.
So I would suggest, it's best you sell and take profit when the price reach your first target, instead of allowing greed to make you wait further.
413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 14, 2024, 08:02:26 AM
I am really waiting for the 30th-week match where Manchester City will host Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium where this will very likely change the leader of the standings, especially in the previous match or in the match in the 29th week, both teams will face a match with quite different difficulties, Arsenal will face Chelsea, a team that It's not very good, but it also has the ability to trouble Arsenal and Manchester City against a Brighton team whose performance is quite low so that City, even as the away team, will have a big chance of getting three points.
If Manchester City is able to beat Arsenal then City will lead the standings because Liverpool will not compete in Week 29.

This season the competition will be very tight and the three competing teams should not make mistakes that will harm and actually benefit their competitors.
most people will be looking forward to this match because the match between Man City vs Arsenal will be a big match and will determine who will get the EPL title this season and if Arsenal loses, Man City has a big chance to get the title this season and is this fair? ?
for me, even though currently Arsenal looks very consistent, in terms of performance depth I see Man City more as having a chance to get the title and I say this because I have seen many times since last season that Arsenal always give very ridiculous surprises and seem to consistently get good results but surprisingly experienced a decline in performance and this season Arsenal experienced something like that but again improved their performance so they were able to get to the top of the standings, but for me this is only temporary.

This upcoming match between Manchester city vs arsenal is really going to play an important role of who will be crown champions, because Liverpool is already at the sidelines  hoping for a draw, which will be much more favourable to them on both sides, but if arsenal lose this one, which I think it is very much unlikely, then that would put them in a very tight Conner, which I don't think they can recover and reclaim back the top spot before the last day of the league, so I believe that they can go toe too toe with Manchester city at the Etihad, because Manchester city is not as good as they were last season,  though it will be difficult, but if they are at their very best, them I think nothing is impossible.
414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: March 14, 2024, 07:43:23 AM

And Inter its out.
Good for Altleco in a very bad season.



Honestly I didn't think Inter could lose this game, they had even gone ahead and everything was pointing to a passage to the round, but that's ok, it means that this year their goal is just to win the Scudetto. As an Inter fan I am obviously sorry for this defeat, but honour to the winners who deserved more this passage of the round. Unfortunately for Italy there will be no more team to bring further points to the UEFA ranking

This is a very difficult match, and to be honest, I didn't think Inter Milan would lose and Atlético Madrid would qualify. This is because Inter Milan's play this season has led many to believe that they will advance far in the Champions League, but let's be honest, both teams take their games very seriously. However, I don't think Inter Milan performed as well as they could have because they aren't scoring goals the way they used to. Inter Milan will have opportunities to score, but they won't be able to convert shots. That's the nature of the game; no matter how strong a team is, they will eventually lose.
Inter Milan was hoping for better results after reaching the UEFA Champions League final last season. Now, having to stop at the 1/8 round is an unexpected result when coach Simone Inzaghi and his team are in good form and are highly appreciated in the European arena.
Inter Milan players had clear opportunities, especially in the final official minutes of the match. However, the attackers were unable to take full advantage of the opportunities and had to determine victory or defeat on the penalty spot. In this series of lucky shots, Inter Milan's expected stars Alexis Sanchez and captain Lautaro Martinez were not successful, causing the reigning runner-up team to receive a final defeat of 2-3 on the penalty spot and stop.

Congratulations to Atlético Madrid! I'm very pleased with their performance. Atlético Madrid made sure that there were plenty of La Liga teams in the quarterfinals. so they should allow La Liga teams to win the league as well.



Are you f**king serious? The champions league is a competition that is being won by the team that deserves it the most, not zoning if it's politics or the Spanish team will say, it's our turn.

Actually it's sounds really funny sayings that they should leave it for a Spanish team to win it as well,  besides the most decorated team in the history of the champions league is from Spain, real madrid to be precise.

And as for the game against Atletico madrid vs inter Milan,  I think it was a fair contest, atletico madrid really up their game in this reverse fixture compared to the first encounter between them both, and I feel like their winning is well deserved, because they fought till the very end.

I thought that this thread is necessary at this point to address a number of things as regards to Fed war against centralized exchanges in Nigeria and what we as forum members should know that will help our motivation level,  and also help us keep track with emerging technologies like Bitcoin and keeping trend on without losing focus.

This may as well be a wake up call for us not to keep our money on centralized exchange but in our wallet with private key seven which we can restore anytime on any wallet apps.

Point is that,  alot have been going on,  and so many fuds and fomos have overwhelmed the cryptocurrency space in Nigeria most times this crisis has burned out our motivations to keep pushing for our goal which is to become one of the world's top cryptocurrency adopters and users,  even though records already have that,  but the action of the various government through the CBN have constantly killed our motivations and drag back developments in that regards.

But here to let you know that giving up is not an option because you will only have yourself to blame if you allow this CBN naira crisis to border you or burn out your motivations.

The cryptocurrency space has nothing to do with the government and only exchanges do,  so I advise you to continue to keep building and never allow all the fake news and blog posts to eat up your time and energy,  just focus on your Bitcoin accumulation and pay less attention to the news.

Na really good thing to encourage our crypto community for we country naija, but to me, e no dy necessary, because anybody wey don zero him mind say him one use this crypto make money no surpose lose hope, besides a true Nigeria never surrenders, I believe say government no go fit shut us out completely even if them want, because we get naija blood, we are rank among nations with the top IQ's in the  world, if our government dy do humans development and investment, we for dy compete with the very best around the world, so I believe say we go find a way around am even if them try,  so as e be so, na person wey give up nai lose, because no need to give up.

For quite some time now we have been hearing about savings and most people who are working in some oil firm or some civil servants so much believe on saving and their pension. What if those savings are turned into investment what do you think could be their results by now extremely rich or wealth?
No wonder teacher or lecturers are not wealthy due to their this mentality of thinking we hardly finds out a very wealth teacher across or locality.

For long have been around here seems like people who belongs to this world think much of investment than savings while the real world focuses more on savings but if I could recall correctly, any money in savings doesn't yield and add to the account while investment is what gives us money or profits at every end of the day week or month irrespective of how little it could be it's better to have investment than savings.

What do you think?

What I actually think about saving is that, to me, it's not ideal thing to do in this current economy because ten thousand dollars now and ten thousand dollars 5years later is not the same, because inflation reduced the value of any money that is being saved up.

While Investment is much more ideal to me, because even if I just want to hold my money without taking much risk, I would hold it in anything that appreciate in value overtime, so to me investment is more logical, because it makes more money for you unlike savings that is static and got eaten up by inflation.
417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: March 13, 2024, 02:06:12 PM
For a moment , I actually believed that Arsenal UCL curse will continue and Porto will find a way to win on penalties and qualify further but , how can 3 players shot in the exact target 3 times in a row ? it's normal that the keeper will save at least 1 and Porto wasn't inspired at all when they chose the players for penalties. Anyway, I have massive respect for Pepe and how he played last night and not only and hopefully he will give us another magical year.  Grin

What you believed almost came to pass but I saw that determination on the faces of the Arsenal players, getting to this stage meant a lot for Arteta and his boys. With how Porto was playing I thought Arsenal was going to be kicked out at extra time but when it got to penalty shootouts that was when I know things are turning out for good for the Arsenal side.
When it comes to penalty shootouts nobody is perfect, even for the goalkeeper too, is a 50/50 thing and the pressure is much on the players not the goalkeepers.
The Porto side were good as hell and I must congratulate them for getting this far and they should also know that between the both teams is Arsenal who have that hunger to be at the next stage after a long while off participating in the Champions League.

I agree with your sentiment here, though fc Porto gave arsenal football club a better fight, but it was arsenal that needed it more, because it wouldn't be pleasant for even the neutral fan for arsenal to let fc Porto eliminate them from this year champions league, because expectations between the both clubs are different, expectations at arsenal is way much higher than that of Porto.


Though I never expected fc Porto to go toe to toe with arsenal at the Emirates stadium, I thought they would be more defensive, just as the first leg, but luck wasn't just on their side yesterday, if not, the result would have been different,  but anyway, congratulations to arsenal for progressing to the next stage of the competition.

I know for us here, our account security is at the top of our mind and we don't play when it comes to it at all but when it comes to matters of personal safety, we become negligent at it and wouldn't want to adhere to major safety guidelines and regulations.

You visit major filling stations and find empty and expired fire extinguishers with zero safety personnel on the ground to put out fire in case of  emergency. Most of us don't even use seat belt and only wear it at check point after which we take it out because of the discomfort we associate with wearing it and when accidents occur, it becomes difficult to see someone survive it.

 Maybe you should occasionally look at our rural marine travellers and see the level of carelessness from most of them when it comes to putting on life jacket and whenever they experience boat mishaps, it's always a fertile situation i wouldn't want to imagin.

Although this is a bad habit that has eaten deep into our blood stream, our personal safety is as important as our account security and everyone should never compromise it. Let's always remember that the safer our environment is, the better it is for us and those around us.

Of a truth, you no dy lie, people no dy carry their personal safety serious, to me, most times I dy blame them, most times, I no dy blame them because people are going through a lot, you go see most of our youth, due to say no work for we country, them go dy risk their life go do kpor fire, wey most times dy take their life, though hunger no be good reason to go eat poison, even when you know say na poison, but when hungry dy catch person, him no dy think well that's why some time I no dy blame them, but kpor fire na very risky move wey fit cost Dem their lives, but them go still dy make the move because them no too take their security serious, Dem dy more concern with the money.

Yes, Liverpool needs to upset because of the disallowed penalty which was clearly a penalty, but just as you say, it is a fair draw and both teams take equal points.
Even Pep said that Liverpool deserve to win, but they tried to get a point because they knew how Anfield was and they knew how strong Liverpool was in the match.

Arsenal should be very careful in their next match against Manchester City because Manchester City might transfer their aggression on Arsenal, and if Arsenal loose that match, their chance of winning the Premier League will reduce, while if they win the match, they will surely have the high chance of winning the League this season.
At least Pep Guardiola knows that Liverpool used all their strength against Manchester City, but the referee's decision was so unwise that in the end Liverpool didn't get a chance for a penalty kick and failed to win. Liverpool tried hard by trying to kick at goal up to 19 times. Meanwhile Manchester City only 10 times, with the victory ending in a draw for me it is quite fair because both get additional points on the standings.

Despite Liverpool used all their strength in that match, Manchester city first Liverpool to scored a goal in their home which Manchester city will never allow such thing from Liverpool to achieve the first goal in their home, and Liverpool struggle to equalized the goal to drew the match 1-1. If not that Manchester city coach removed De Bruyne on time,  Liverpool would have not have all those target in their goalpost but Manchester city defenders never allow them to used home advantage to win the match. The points the two teams shared from the match gave Arsenal the opportunity to take over the first position in the premier league competition table , and it has caused another challenges to Manchester city and Liverpool to battle again.

The game between Liverpool and Manchester city was a really fascinating encounter between them, though Manchester city have the upper hand in the early contest of the game, but Liverpool seize the initiative and started applying much pressure which they would have won the game if luck was on their side,  but the both teams have their chances, which they never took, but a draw is a fair result for both teams.

And as for arsenal vs Manchester city, that's one of the games that is going to determine the title race, because I believe that it's going to be a fiest encounter between them both, but I feels like Manchester city have more in their ranks to get the victory from this game, regardless of how arsenal have been performing recently.
