The performance of Chelsea this past and present season is already giving me a lot of doubt if the fault is from the players or the coach, which is to be blamed or do we say the performance of every other clubs has improved significantly where as Chelsea is doing nothing to improve. Chelsea spending a lot of money on buying players we expect something better than this. Honestly from Pochettino stats i think he is not capable of handling the team into toping the table. So maybe looking into their coach would be a better option to help the team i feel they have enough squad to make things happen excluding Jackson.

Overall, Chelsea has played 1,210 matches in the Premier league and have won a total of 637, lose in 274 with a total goals counted at 2,045 goals and those are some interesting stats to know about the history and current situation of Chelsea in the league. In the previous season, the club didn't also perform well like you rightly said because they finished st 12th position in the Premier league winning in 11 matches, 11 draws and a total lose of 16 matches in the last season which left them with 44 points from a total of 38 matches.

This season, Chelsea have played in 20 matches already with just 8 wins, 4 draws and another 8 loses that is equal to the matches won and a total point of 28 right now which have kept them in the 10th position of the table. Ordinarily, one would have expected to see Chelsea at the top of the table together with clubs like Arsenal, Aston Villa, West Ham Brighton amongst other clubs but unfortunately, they did not and this seems to be a similar outcome to what we saw in the last season which is going to glad.

The match was quite tough for FC Barcelona, but Barcelona managed to beat Las Palmas in the dying minutes with a penalty kick. With a win over Las Palmas, FC Barcelona has recorded a second consecutive win, extending their unbeaten run to 3 matches in the league. Barcelona has moved to the third position in the La Liga table after defeating Las Palmas.

Guys, it is also interesting to know that since the year of 1991, Las Palmas have been losing over Barcelona in all their fixturing except the 1-1 draw they finished with and have also out scored Las Palmas in their 3 previous matches with a total of 12 goals against 1 of Las Palmas and this further goes to show how powerful the Barcelona is over such a small club that they've been beating consecutively on less the 1-1 draw in 2018.

Barcelona seems to have kicked off the new year with a good outing in the last match and are pretty ready to push efforts to continue to win more of the matches but the thing is that, Barcelona will need to work extra hard to be able to move up the table and close the wide gap. Barcelona's 10 points behind the other clubs at the top which includes Juventus and Girona is wide enough to challenge them to their bow. They will require to win a lot more matches and perform much more than they did yesterday.

You know what they say, never wager money that you can't afford to lose. But sometimes people see gambling as a way to get out of the hole, and that is when they risk the last resources they have. We are talking about gambling, we are risking money here, and there are no responsible or disciplined ways to risk money. The best way to avoid the risk is to avoid gambling.

Avoiding gambling is the best thing to do for me instead at a moment in time. Because the losses that I recount in gambling is way more than the wins. Even though sometimes you can say there is good money made in the little wins but sometimes because of the high hopes that comes with trying to win, it makes it difficult to win and instead you will lose woefully with the odds you will end up setting which also do result to depression and a lot of emotional problems.

This is why I have resulted in advising every one to stop it and instead of trying to use small money out of your pocket money, you shouldn't in the first place since it is from small money that we end up using bigger funds which most of us cannot afford to lose.

The Girona and Athletico Madrid game is almost coming to an end, and the game is still a draw.

Drama at the end as Girona go 4-3 up in the 92nd minute.

FULL TIME NOW

The Girona fairytale continues.

Girona is Gradually getting to the top and closer to the title by the day and their commitment have been outstanding. Even though I was very optimistic about the effort of Girona and I had a very strong confidence to their ability to win, I least expected Ivan Martin will do the due diligent at the tail end of the game. This has continued to show and prove to many the efforts of the Girona club and their resilience to win this title.

Fernandez started the match with a goal under just to 2 minutes of the game but Morata was able to neutralize that with a goal. Savio of Girona also took the bold step of winning another goal in the 26th minute of the match to make Girona ahead of Atlantico but Morata was still able to neutralize it with another goal. Same thing applies to the goal scored by Blind which was re-equalized by Morata for the third time making it his hattrick for Atletico Madrid before Ivan Martin finished up the game with the winning goal.

The outcome of this match was instrumental to Girona as it helped them to rise above the table to the second position ahead of Atlantico Madrid with 48 points, same point as Atletico Madrid which is topping the table now. There's every possibility at this point that Girona will take the lead of the table once again.

But don't you guys think China is over doing some of these there regulations and in a way stepping on the toes of its citizens? I feel like there should be that level of freedom to the adoption of some of the technologies we use today.

The entire world has been evolving by the day and the need to connect with the rest of the world has continously been important to others, so I don't think the government should put many restrictions to all these things especially the adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin technology is an outstanding development to the history of technology across the world. It is therefore imperative for individuals and governments to key into these technologies and try as much as possible to make positive use of them for the benefit of the country's economy and that of the people.

Even though the opponent is an ordinary club, what is important is winning. Milan is very superior in many ways compared to Cagliari. The number of goals is really satisfying, hey won 4 - 1. Even though this is the Italian Cup, it seems like Milan is serious enough to win it. Compared to Napoli and Inter, which have different conditions, especially Napoli, who were actually defeated 0 - 4 by Frosinone, which incidentally was a very embarrassing result for a club of Napoli's class. However, Iman also still has quite strong rivals, namely Juventus and Atalanta, which have a fairly good probability of winning.

Aside from the match in which Milan lost against Udinese, which was on the 4th of November and their lost to Dortmund which was on the 28th of November, Milan have stayed very strong to win or draw most of their matches until again it lost to Atalanta which to me I felt was unnecessary as they could have also won in that match.

But I think Milan is doing well overall to remain at the third position of the table standings. But their losses have also added to why they are at that stance as they could have done well if they had scored more matches because it will take them more struggles to be able to rise up the ladder. Inter Milan is still the best

This season, Liverpool has proven themselves to be ready to take over the title by all means and judging from their performance in recent times it shows alit of antecedence that will change alot of things for both Liverpool players and the management as well, and being able to face and defeat other bigger clubs in terms of points accumulations will help the journey for Liverpool to hold the premier league's title this season and bringing Manchester city down from their high horses.

Liverpool has 45 points now and are the ones leading the table now with Aston Villa coming as second but have the same point as Manchester City and Arsenal. These three teams are doing well so far but I'm more disappointed with Arsenal than any other club there because Arsenal had all it takes to remain a the top of the table but decided to fail in their last match to fall down to the third position in the table. I'm very disappointed with the team right now.

I feel like we are at a critical stage in the Premier league title where clubs topping the table should see it as a big deal not to fail in matches so easily because of how difficult it is to get there. Although football comes with a lot of challenges which includes trying by all means to win matches. I didn't see much of that in arsenal like I see in Liverpool now.

1. On April 2nd 1972 Naija change from right hand drive wey the British people introduce to them to left hand drive wey dey common
Among French people and the Americans.
2. Gen Aguiyi Johnson ironsi na the first military head of state of Naija.
3. 1st of January 1973 Na when our country Naija start to they use Naira.
 My people make una add the ones wey una still remember.

I also have some interesting histories of our country that I will love to share with us here. Some of which will rekindle our love for the country we used to have and how things have degenerated today.

An example of this interesting history is in our currency. Our Kobo and our Naira. In 1976, that's around 48 years ago, 75 Kobos back then used to be exchanged with 1 British Pounds Sterling whereas 60 Kobos was exchanged for a dollar then. Here we are not even talking about a Naira. Today, a dollar has turned to an equivalent of 1,000 naira.

There also live a time, where as a Nigerian holding our own passport, you do not need to apply for visa I.e Visa-free to travel to the United Kingdom. But today, our passport is so weak to the point that country like Rwanda and other part of Africa, have stronger passports than the supposed, giant of Africa.

In 1965 Cocoa House in the city of Ibadan, which is the capital of OYO state in Nigeria was the tallest building in Africa, now there are other edifices and bigger structures more than we can count.

There are so many more interesting history of Nigeria that we can talk about here but let's leave it for others who are more experience to add to our voices more.

I cannot imagine that I will get to 2024 with wearing these smiles and happiness in my face. It is only to the grace of God that we were able to crossover to this year alive, hale and hearty. All thanks to God.

2023 was faced with a lot of challenges that ravel around the country. The level of inflation is very bad and there has no been any serious efforts put into salvaging the issue. Things are going out of hand with the way the country is. The Naira is depreciating with the recession and the rise in the forex. The dollar has been pushing hard while the naira has continue to go deep.

2024 can be better but it isn't yet. We need to be more intentional and straightforward to solving our issues. Our issues are peculiar to us yet we want to employ foreign ways of solving the problems. The truth of the matter is, we must need to be courageous in addressing our local issues realistically.

Make I add two extra ones wey you no include from the beginning for you. Number one na, the Fuel pump price hike and the Godwin Emefiele arrest.

As the new president come to power, for him inaugural speech, he declare talk say, him don remove fuel subsidy which come also mean say we as a country no go they pay anybody untop fuel subsidy again, say we self go dey refine our crude ourselves but up till now we never still fit refine those crude ourselves. This matter come bring about the worse sufferings we have encountered in terms of the removal, no be there.

There's no way I will talk about 2023 with out mentioning Emefiele with the hardship he brought to the country with his unreasonable New Naira Notes, life became extremely difficult to live because of lack of money in cash and subsequent have lack of money and hike in prices of foods and other commodities.
572  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Death sentence trap as people choice hustle on: December 31, 2023, 09:42:52 PM
The present situation of the country is so alarming. People fight to meet with daily needs. With hard labour, feeding ones family still seems difficult. This frustration may lead alot to this crime. If the country become better today, crime rate will definitely reduce to the minimal level.

Whenever I look at the current inflation and how difficult it is to make money in the legitimate way, especially when you work your a** down to make things work doing menial jobs. It is the most physical work but less rewarding to do. I cannot imagine myself engaging in such works and yet go home with an equivalent of less than 5 dollars in a country where fuel/litre is almost getting to a dollar. Our rate of consumption of fuel in Nigeria is almost 80% as we use it for several things including to move our vehicles for transportation.

Imagine the pivotal role that fuel places in your life and the level at which it has been jacked up, then reason how bad it is for the government to allow it skyrocketed. How is the government helping small businesses and assisting the poor people. Hence why we must appreciate those men that go out there to legitimately put food on the table.
573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? on: December 30, 2023, 07:56:10 AM
I always hear stories of friends who always lose playing online gambling. I don't know what his purpose to tell his story to me. even it's clear, his story makes him look stupid.

Besides that, in another place, Many young people around to me still play slot gambling even don't have a job and always lose. I wonder where they get the money for deposits? and why they repeat that?. I don't know what the reason reason that doesn't bother them, they should have given up, and changed the game that makes them profitable. if I always lose in the game, I will change the type of game, example If I always lose on a slot, I will change the type of game like sports betting until my capital is back and try the luck again to the slot.


Guess what? Gambling is very addictive and anyone who have ventured into it will always find a reason to go back to it again even if they lost everything they got. That's the funny aspect of gambling.  For instance, there are many people  out there that gambling is not meant for them because they do not come with that luck and ability to gamble, therefore it becomes difficult to win any stake they put in gambling but yet they cannot quit because something within them tells them to keep trying again and again.

I also have a friend who have gambled continously for a year but could barely burst off a win. It as always been lost over lost as he continued trying yet he won't stop. He has changed several games to basketball, volleyball, casinos and so on but yet, it does not fly and whenever you advise him to stop, he will tell you not to worry about it that there's no harm in trying for the last time. I don't know if he has stopped gambling now because I've not heard from him for a while now.

I think Juventus vs Roma is a really difficult match to predict... In my betting history both of these clubs have been blacklisted for a long time, because they have often had unpredictable results... Juventus probably have more opportunities to win, but I think something like Napoli vs Monza could happen...

Lolz... You blacklisted them in your betting history since. That's some funny talks there. I was really tickled by what you said now. But interestingly, both team have a way of fixturing with each other once in a while to kick each other's ass out.

To show how tough and hard it is to predict this kind of match, I went back to check the last 5 matches both team have played each other and it is not easy to predict who wins in this match for real. In the last 5 matches, Roma won only 1 match with a single goal but have also drawn once with the Juventus club.

Whereas, Juventus have equally done pretty well and much better than AS Roma in their last 5 fixturing ensuring that they won in three of those matches and draw in one whereby allowing Roma to win their last match with 1-0.

Now, if we are to analyze the possibilities of Roma winning in this match, I can easily ascribe that to the last where they were able to successfully hold Juventus in the defense but used their forward well. They can do it by using the right strategy which the coach shoould have put in Shape and play by now.

Every new year people setup their new year resolution.
My questions is it really important because ever since I've started doing that I've not completed anything of it.
Also, if you're lucky to have completed yours please tell me how you did yours so I can make my next year better.

Procrastination have  killed the job and intentions of every man out there including myself. I cannot imagine the number of plans that have been unsuccessful in the year 2023 that was cased due to procrastination or lack of finances is another aspect of it.

Because I didn't have money as I planned to, in 2023 plenty projects I tried to embark on failed from the inception. Good plan, good strategy, good intentions but lack of funds makes it unachievable and now I have crossover with it to 2024,I do not regret a bit but we must work hard to make money and invest heavily on some businesses including the bitcoin and other coins too.

I no longer know what to believe from the both sides two great clubs behaving like a fucking idiot. Real Madrid came out officially to clear the air about who they want and they don't want in between.
This can be the chance for him to leave the club finally, he now has a good opportunities to make sure he leaves. Real Madrid do not make double chase on such a player who feels like he is too big for the club.

He doesn't want to extend and even if he wants the contract extension,they can't force him to stay with the club. Believe that most of these news are not true in general. Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid is a good move, he just finally needs a good coach.

Such big transfers usually comes with a lot of generated news around it some of which are just rumors and nothing official from the clubs management or the players as well. I also realized that some of the news are just put out there to allow me and you enjoy great headlines.

However, having Mbappe in Real Madrid should be a deal that I think the club will pursue ordinarily. But what are the intricacies of the contract is another aspect that you will need to ponder. Mbappe should have also seen this transfer plans as an opportunity for him to shine more than before because he still has the age with him and a great squad to play side by side with.

Having Mbappe in the Real Madrid will be a massive game changer for the club and that will assist them in winning more matches.

Arsenal
Arsenal need to improve their attack, and make sure to score as many goals as the opportunities as they create. If Arsenal gets a good striker in the transfer chance and get reinforcements in some other positions in the team, their chances of doing very well in the champions league round of 16 more than they did in the group stages will be higher. I see Roma coming to the champions league next season, I see Mourinho as someone with a plan, they look to be on that track already to achieve that with their current position on the table.

It's not a bad idea but I think with the current squad Arsenal can still be relied on Arsenal finished as group winners in the last round. Arsenal's next opponent is Porto, I don't underestimate Porto but I think Arsenal deserves to go through to the next round, I can't predict how Arsenal will play in the first leg, but in the second leg I can already imagine it Arsenal will destroy any team . The question is after Porto, who will be Arsenal next opponent? I hope not Real Madrid or Bayern Munich because this is the real opponent.

Arsenal will beat Porto in my own calculations and that will assist them to move further in the next rounds. I want Arsenal to put in much more efforts this time around to be able to claim this trophy but one good thing that will also mean is that, they will break an history they have been fight for for many years now and unable to take the trophy.

Carlo Ancelotti's choice is certain, and hopefully he will not regret what he did. Carlo Ancelotti is one of the best coaches that Real Madrid has ever had, and so far, Carlo Ancelotti has brought Real Madrid to victory in several competitions, so the manager of Real Madrid has made an offer to extend his contract because it seems that the Real Madrid team, when coached by Carlo Ancelotti, will provide very satisfactory value.

I believe Ancelotti knows the reason why he has decided to stay back instead of walking away even when he has all the opportunities to walk away with good stakes. But I feel like he understands the club so well that he wants to remain and work together with the management and players to build a robust strategy with the players.

Ancelotti has been delivering quite excellently to my own liking and if he has the best squad depth, I believe he can work better. Ancelotti performance have outweighed that of Xavi in the scheme of works and I can only say Kudos to him for the job well done.

As far as I know Arsenal are already looking for a striker seriously. Because I have seen some transfer speculations related to them for the centre-forward position. Maybe Guirassy is also a target for them as he has a release clause which can be activated in January. But there will surely be some other big teams going after him as well. Guirassy is a really great talent with the performance level he has shown so far. He can be a useful player for Arsenal as he isn't an old player either.

But in this case I wonder whether Arsenal would think of parting their ways with Nketiah or Gabriel Jesus.  Huh

Crystal Palace have shown great interest in Nketiah in the next transfer season of January but I don't think that will be possible at the moment as Arsenal have shown interest in his forwards and I don't think they are in any way considering that. Maybe in the next transfer season.

Jesus on the other hand have tried to shown consistency over this season but he still faced many criticism over the 2-0 lost to West Ham club. However, Henry have supported the player full time.

I think Arsenal still have the squad depth to perform averagely well in the new year but still needs to work on their strike. I feel like they still need one goal machine in the forward.
