Manchester City also set a record of their own yesterday when they beat Newcastle 5-0, they became the first team in the EPL to have five players all on ten goals and above in a season, Mahrez's goal yesterday took him to ten goals and he joins the other four players all above ten in the epl this season: Aguero, Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and KDB; doesn't mean much to them i'm sure, but errrm, still a record nonetheless.

Kimmich has been playing in midfield for sometime now, but we know his favorite position is at right back, versatile players who can perform in more than one wing is what managers love, pep did it when he was at Bayern, IIRC he played Philip Lahm in the defensive midfield role, just as Flick is doing now with Joshua Kimmich; but with time or prolly if there's a change of manager in the team, the player usually returns back to his normal wing. That being said Kimmich may prolly start next season at right back and imo Nianzou is not just good enough.

I usually favor Burnley to win against mid/bottom table teams, they have problems when they play the teams with superstars like Manchester City, but teams on the same level as them find it very difficult to break their defensive line. Credit to Sean Dyche for building his team to defend so well, and they also manage to score at the other end, though not more than one often, imo their defenders: Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee etc are the most important in the team.

Well no one can have any complaints about this sort of ego, so take your time . Congratulations fillipponi, IIRC i earned my first merits from you last month (four in total i think) I prolly am not active in the boards you frequent the most, but you are a generous MS i must say and the statistics also proves that and i also rate your posts as HQ. Congrats on your meritversary, 3,500 merits in two years, with your merit ratio, you could really be a MS without actually getting refilled every month .

If news of Thiago Alcantara leaving Bayern (to Liverpool) turns out to be true and now Javi Martinez, I don't think it's too good for Bayern, losing two senior midfield players at the same time going into next season. I know they are both above 29, but they bring experience in the center of the field for the German champions. Any news on possible replacements?

Palace will not likely be easy for Chelsea, Their backline has shown weakness when they are put under pressure by good attackers, we saw that against West Ham. Rudiger is shaky and Christensen/Zouma isn't convincing, Azpilicueta is prolly the strongest link in their defense atm. Zaha and Jordan Ayew may help secure a point for Palace today.

I'm more confident of a win for Watford, i don't think Norwich will win any game again this season, they must have accepted their relegation fate, and in the Arsenal game BTTS is prolly the safest bet imo.

Lol, to watch juve win the trophy every season may be boring and annoying for non-juventus fans, but to say they do that because referees help them to win some big games is a BS thing to say. How possible is it than the officials every season, nine consecutive times, decide the champions and in many of this seasons second place is usually very far behind Juve, they are just the best. Lazio and also Inter Milan (before the new yr) tried to usurp Juve this season and i hope they or maybe some other team achieves that next season.

Not another unneeded token, creating one for your exchange may even be counterproductive cause most newly created token/coin is a scam and if your exchange (which is also new) is associated with one, it can also be accused to be a scam exchange; and that being said, Binance token was created in 2017, and you know how much things have changed since then.

National trade policy has always involved politics in one way or another, countries trade more with those they have close political ties with, and the moment there's a fraction on their political landscape, they both seek means to frustrate the economy of the other (it being the backbone of every country) in anyway they can. China vs India are the latest in this economic cum political war and imo it's going to impede China more, they are more of the front-runners in the chase against the US to be the leading economy in the world; and obviously China threw themselves into this political war without assessing what they stand to lose in the grander picture.
Producing things/goods locally does not inhibit international trade, AFAIK it's not possible to use only things produced locally, and every country imports either goods or uses applications etc made by others. TikTok was one of those applications India banned, with more users there than anywhere else in the world, how do you expect all these people to leave TIkTok for another (local) app.

The government had panned what? Prolly only China and the world health organization knew about corona virus before 2020, in a world were there are few allies to a country and multiple other foes, how can you think it's possible they all unite for a cause in depopulating the world, at this cost and for what benefit?

Today Kanye announced that he will be running for president of the United States, i thought we'd have a thread on it here by now, but here it is, this is his tweet today:
The election is in November, that is four months from now (July) and Kanye West is declaring that he is in the race today, how serious can we take him? Social media has been buzzing and shocked with Kanye's tweet. We all know of Kanye West's support for Donald Trump, so why the sudden change and decision to run against him. There have been so many opinions on this:
What do you think?

It backfires because election propagandas doesn't work in America any longer, it's easy for citizens of the US to know what's true and what's not, except prolly those on the side of the democrats. The democrats should try to think less of debasing Donald Trump's government and draft out better plans to take back power in the November polls.

No, as long as one is a member of the telegram group/channel, you'll see the ads when it's posted or pinned by the owner/admin of the TG channel. You can obviously leave the group to block the ads permanently though .
It does and doesn't on the basis of what you want to advertise and how much you want to spend, if you want to advertise something not too important with a small amount, then posting your ad on TG channels with good numbers of subscribers may be fine; but if your ads are significant, you have to top your budget and seek better platforms for your ad.

I had confidence that wolves were favorites to win against Arsenal today, a home game for them after a perfect restart to the epl and also cause they have a slim chance of qualifying for the champions league and Arsenal do not. I placed my bet on wolves to win, with a +1 handicap to make it safe, but Arsenal still won, so wolves and I lost 
Leicester are in trouble if you ask me, United and Chelsea have easier opponents to face, and I think they'll win, and Arsenal also know how to win when they play Leicester city, they may be fourth after this round of matches.

I'd put a portion of the blame on how the internet and the media works atm, this projects I'm sure have the time to be interviewed, but they do not want to because of how information given can be twisted and embellished over the internet, you could say one thing when being interviewed and a totally different thing gets published.

@zasad, you publish it exactly the way the interview was conducted, but the projects may not be sure like we are, I think if they trust your interviews to be transparent by seeing the previous ones done, you'd get more projects to interview.

The underground economy is populated by people who work only to meet their daily needs, evading tax and government regulations as they do so, you'd not expect a sex worker for example who works at night to collect payments in monero or in any cryptocurrency, cash (fiat) is what's more convenient for people who work through many jobs unnoticed by the government.

Maybe more prominent parts of the illegal economy, like those into drug/human trafficking who make a lot of money from this illegal industry may use cryptocurrency, they are more of rich people, so may not need to move their coins out all the time to meet any need. They can prolly then use the blockchain as their bank, instead of the traditional banks. But imo many of them would still use bitcoin instead of monero, the same way online scammers do.

It's a good move for Liverpool, they have good midfielders but i don't think any of them is really creative, Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Keita and even Milner cause he plays I'm midfield sometimes are all good midfielders, but they are not the type of midfielders I'll call creative, that can penetrate a tight defense with a good skill and a good through ball.

Thiago imo is that sort of midfielder, i enjoy how he moves with the ball and also beats players with his trickery, he'll solidify an already excellent midfield with his own set of talents, he has played in Spain, now in Germany, trying the epl out with Liverpool is also a good move for him.
