Pep Guardiola deserves it at Manchester City. They have really gone that far, and couldn't clinch it. They should be winners at the end of the Champions League this term if they successfully surpass the semi finals
To be honest, I would also really like to see Guardiola winning the Champions League title also before he leaves his current job at the team. Because he said something about leaving in the near future. Manchester City are one of the most deserving teams when it comes to this title. Their closest moment to the title was in the last season but Chelsea somehow got the title. Maybe this is their turn.
City will pass Sporting but they have fierce opponents. I think if Bayern, Inter and Liverpool will be eliminated before facing City then Guardiola might lift the trophy with the team finally this year. I don't see the others as a real threat to City right now.
Manchester City looks like a very serious candidate to win the Champions League this season, but the cup system has its own peculiarities and any strongest favorite can play an unsuccessful individual match and end up in the tournament. Pep Guardiola is a great master in the systematic construction of teams that achieve results over a long distance, but even such a master does not always manage to do it in cup competitions, which is the Champions League. This was demonstrated by the example in the final with Chelsea, when the club could not take the decisive step and win a particular individual match. On the other hand, it gives hope that this will happen to the club in the end. Another question is whether the coach will survive until this moment, knowing that Guardiola does not like to work in one place for a long time and wants to take on new challenges.

I believe that Pep is only waiting to win the champions league before calling quits on Manchester City, and as a Manchester United fan I need him to leave quickly, because City are currently unplayable under him.

Furthermore last time City chocked under pressure, but if they reach the finals again then there’s no excuse for them not to win it, but at least let them reach the semi final before we can declare that they’ll win the champions league.
I second you on this one! Manchester city are just in a world of their own under Peps reign and if this is true that he will only retire after a champions league trophy then he has to meet a team like Bayern Munich in the semis to leave them with a much weaker opponent otherwise this is a tougher campaign than the last which the missed out when they made it to the finals.

Manchester United continues to struggle to collect maximum points and as most would have expected them to win this game against Newcastle United but the opposite happened, they dropped points . Had it not been for Cavanni to rescue a point on the road this would have put them in a peculiar position.... But with some games in hand the red devils need to make this one count to get themselves closer to the top four.

I know most of us are used to seeing bitcoin prices to be quoted in US dollar but i feel most wallets i have used dont offer a wide range of currency options especially that bitcoin is a currency without boarders.

Another feature i have noticed is its either legacy wallets aren't supported or they don't support native degWit addresses that start with bc1q not the 3.

Finally chelsea made it back to winning after two games even when the first half was equal between them and aston villa they managed to take control of the situation on the second half and they won 3 1 but unfortunatly man city team won and they are still in the lead with six points away.
Chelsea really need to win today's match to continue to put pressure on Man City who is the league leader for now with six points separating them, a draw or loss against Aston Villa would have dash their hope of EPL title thus would have allow City to extend their points to 9, a good game by Chelsea thanks to Lukaku who is back in the team and deserve to win, while Villa missed the services of Gerrald who is on isolation, his presence at the sidelines would have made some impact in the match.
Thanks to this victory, Chelsea not only kept the current gap from Manchester City, but also equaled Liverpool on points so far.
Truth be told, I see Liverpool finishing better than Chelsea becomes they have better players and more choices of players should injuries start to affect some key players besides Liverpool as a game in hand which should push them above Chelsea should the win but it won't be easy as they will be facing Leceister city who can be stubborn to beat should the team arise.

And Chelsea continues with the record still intact.
They have never lost a premier league game on boxing day.
They have won four now and drew two
Jorginho having seven premier league goals from.tje spot-kick.
Sooner or later these records will be broken, all they need is the right opponents on boxing day and this record will be broken Tongue otherwise Chelsea seem strongest around this time.

Are they serious? More valuable or more profitable than btc and eth? Is shiba Inu? Maybe in terms of exponential growth it could be but how sure they are that people will patronize a hype memecoin made for fun than a fundamental projects like btc and eth. Well yes dogecoin is an exemption, since its out during the btc days but memecoin like shib are probably being manipulated obviously by some whales. Not sure it's gonna be profitable if those whales pull  out the trigger.
More valuable goes to  Bitcoin and Ethereum but in terms of profitability in the short term, well there are several coins that outperform these coins by far and these altcoins will always do this .


The best coin to be traded are those ones with small value and volatile. The truth is that traders make profits by flipping and taking advantage of the market volatility which is a great feature of the market. It would be impossible to earn from the market if all the tokens are stable.
Platform where these coins are being traded also mattes because I have seen people make good money from platforms with low liquidity and most take advantage of this . But of course volatility is among the top choices in picking a coin.

For certain indicators which I use once in a while, I hadly change a thing as they are best used in their defaults. Moving average 200,20, 100,50 are among the indicators I enjoy to use and they are effective.

Even though Barca have looked inconsistent this season, if Mallorca is the next opponent then victory is the most likely thing in my opinion.

certain fixtures are a given which we all know what result to expect and with so much pressure piling on the team, I do not think these guys would want to miss a chance of getting so many goals in a single game as a confidence booster to the team and its fans.

Quote
Barca are starting to find form with Xavi as their new coach this season. I'm not completely sure that Xavi can't bring any changes to his team because so far I can see that Barca are starting to make things difficult for their opponents in the league. Of course that's good, but the difficulty of scoring goals and winning match is a problem that still exists today.
As much as this paints a good picture for Xavi, Koeman was not a bad coach as far as I know because he came to this club with a well decorated CV.
4048  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think crypto is going to replace the dollar? Jack: Yes, Bitcoin will on: December 26, 2021, 11:49:21 PM
I do not get why people want the dollar or fiat to be replaced.... But truth is fiat is still with us for quite a long time and digital currencies still have a long way to go before the masses buy into this idea of going digital. The best this that can ever happen is have dual currencies around the world without restrictions but then again this would mean that the central government will lose control of its monetary duties which our governments will not signup for!!
4049  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin resistance and support price on: December 26, 2021, 11:44:27 PM
I am not ready to sell my bitcoin because I know its price will increase back, I do not mind if it will take time but I know it will increase back. But recently the price of bitcoin has been decreasing, before it was at a resistance of $60000 but now it is at a resistance of $55000. I am thinking bitcoin price may never increase for now back to above $60000. The support is strong at $50000 and bitcoin has not falled to the level at all but is this not the begining of the bearish market?
in trading people use support and resistance but others tend to use order blocks which are either bullish or bearish in nature and seeing how price has been behaving of late  its safe to say that price has moved into the bullish order block which means we should be seeing a pullish to the upside away from the  $50000 support zone and maybe we should see 70k come next near.

Gareth Bale has been transfer listed by Real Madrid ahead of the January window, according to reports.

The Welsh winger, who hasn't played club football since August, is out of contract at the end of the season and is not expected to extend his £600,000-a-week deal.

Bale hasn't featured regular for Real since the 2018-19 campaign and spent last term on loan at Premier League side Tottenham.

Rumours earlier this year suggested he's considering retiring after next year's World Cup, should Wales qualify for the tournament in Qatar.

Not yet! Still trying to figure out how this ecosystem works to be honest....
Besides I really need to find out why some NFts perform better than other pieces of art which are undervalued even when a lot of effort has gone into them which goes unrecognized most of the time!

Talking of gaming tokens am still waiting for ubisoft to jump into this ecosystem as they registered their interest to be part of it.
4052  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Whats the point hodling, if you can't risk it all? on: December 26, 2021, 11:28:26 PM
I believe history as shown us that we can not put all our eggs in one basket because doing so means should this fail then all of our investment goes down the drain and so as a counter measure we have to spread the risk by not going all in into one asset as a risk management mechanism!

Investing is risky, what strategy you choose is not the factor, just a matter of circumstances. No option is better than the other as it's personal preference and the goals you have in mind. Maybe on the surface, long term holding seems to be the more safer option, but, there is still risk in it.
As a matter of fact, as much as we want to go all in into BTC we didn't really anticipate that bitcoin would grow to where it is today.
4053  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC as "every day" spending currency vs. 10 min Block Confirmation/Mining time on: December 26, 2021, 11:20:30 PM
Almost all services today require at least three confirmations before a transaction can be concluded and this means long waiting times which makes it impractical to use in the real world. But with lightning network and the alike i think it compensates for these short comings.

If LN isnt working as intended i see another soft fork happening.
4054  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 26, 2021, 11:16:23 PM
As usual, Bayern Munich always dominates the Bundesliga every season. This season they have collected 43 points from 17 matches, with 14 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats and 9 points adrift of Borussia Dortmund. It's a bit boring to see the Bundesliga competition every season for the title. So far, no team has been able to offset the dominance of Munich in the top competition of the German League.
Totally agree, Bayern Munich is just too superior for this league and as this stand there is no real competition for them besides borussia Dortmond. And the worst part is that every time the win the become financial power to buy any player of their league which leaves others uncompetitive after a sell.
4055  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are the best ways to invest money? on: December 26, 2021, 10:12:58 PM
To get the maximum profit of course we have to divide the money into many types of investments, and I always follow the development of cyrptocurrencies, what I'm doing right now to get maximum profit is to buy new projects ranging from $300 - $500 per month, and I'm staking on several DEXs like Pancake, Quickswap and Apeswap and every day can earn around $ 18.
Diversity is a great way to minimize risk and loss, but research of these crypto assets we have today should never be skipped because we have lots of shitcoins out there which we need to be on the lookout for...otherwise staking is good, investing in casinos Is good so as trading but requires one to learn the skill which takes some time.


Becoming rich is just the goal and it's realistic to some extent but if you want a more specific answer I would simple say becoming $10million richer by mid 2022 although at the moment it sounds a bit scary to me. But if my dreams don't scare me I might not give my full energy  to make much profit
I believe getting rich is about being different, being the pioneer and not doing something that lacks the wow factor in it. With determination and perseverance the sky is the limit and we can be whatever we want to be... let us not stop dreaming this is where it all starts.... Cool
4056  Economy / Economics / Re: The link between Bitcoin and the economy on: December 26, 2021, 10:04:18 PM
When we discussed the topic of Bitcoin and its decentralized nature and how it relates to the economy of the world, I lot of people seem to be confused about the place of Bitcoin in the economy.
Personally, I like to think bitcoin is a parallel economy to the world economy on its on, but lately it seems to be highly influenced by the politics which are suppose to affect fiat and not digital currencies.


First, we need to understand the nature of Bitcoin and also its legal tendency.
legal or not bitcoin will forever continue to exist as there isn't a boundary for which bitcoin can and can not go.

Quote
Bitcoin is a digital currency that is not controlled by any one individual or government that is why it is referred to as decentralized currency, secondly, Bitcoin is an asset just like gold that the reason most people adopt it for its economic benefits.

Bitcoin is an asset with many uses and people use it for different reasons,someone could use it as a medium of payment, another could use it as a store of value and on a different day its simply an investment waiting to grow in value.

Arsenal really performed well in today match to defeated Norwich 5:0 without struggle to win the match.
Norwich isn't the same team we knew when pukki was the go to guy for fantasy football points, today Norwich plays like they have made up their minds to leave the premier league and go fight for their place back in it from the lower leagues.....That 5 nil is a statement to say these guys have no fight left in them, otherwise great football display for the Gunners.

Quote
Even Manchester city defeated Leicester 6:3 that is still making them to be the top of the time table. Chelsea also won their match 3:1 that is making people to talk that Chelsea point will drop for their next match if they lose. Those team that played today ,it was not easy for them to become Victory in their matches today.
City and Chelsea these were expected wins!
4058  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa Conference League Discussion Thread on: December 26, 2021, 09:49:50 PM
I think that Leicester are one of the biggest favourites of the Europa Conference League title now. They have been doing really bad in the Premier League recently. And maybe they would focus on this tournament to win a title and become the first champion team of this tournament at the same time also. Maybe this tournament has a much lower quality than the Premier League but its being held for the first time makes it really attracting. And I think that the biggest threat to them in this tournament is Roma. And we never know if some unexpected team make a surprise.
As much as we want to put Leicester out there to be favorites of the tournament, I think what these guys get wrong is the fact that they use two different teams for the premier league and other competitions....if players tire out from the premier league they can not be used for such competitions such as the Europa Conference League and the other problem is that players used in this competition aren't getting game time from the EPL which could mean that they are out of form and they should not be considered as outright favorites tbh.
4059  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Visa Partners With 60 Crypto Platforms to Let Consumers Spend Digital Currency on: December 26, 2021, 09:37:02 PM
As much as this sounds like a great development I think ViSA is not the easiest option we have when it comes to spending or buying cryptocurrencies using it because this brings in KYC which is really something most of us feel uncomfortable to share because we do not know were our data might end up after passing all KYC requirements. If only an MOU of some sort can be worked out to bypass all this to enable easier ways of buying crypto.

Pogba is one of the lowest paid players in the current Manchester United roster, earning less than £300,000 per week, despite the fact that a player of his caliber should make more in this market.

Manchester United player salaries 2021.
Code:
Cristiano Ronaldo  £510,000
David De Gea £375,000
Jadon Sancho £350,000
Raphael Varane £340,000
Paul Pogba £290,000
Edinson Cavani £250,000
Anthony Martial £250,000
Marcus Rashford £200,000
Harry Maguire £189,904
Bruno Fernandes £180,000
source

Looking at this list several players could easily be asking for a raise looking at how much work they put in for the team.

Take for example Bruno Fernandes  who is getting a mere £180,000 but is capable of getting goals and also defend very well but the lad is not complaining....but why should pogba try to steal the show with his salary increaments??? These demands will not be meet and I see him leaving for this reason!
