Zlatan over Mandzukiz as Zlatan is guaranteed to score 10 - 15 goals in the remaining games.
Zlatan ibrahimovich left Manchester United just well over a year ago, I do not see him coming back, he currently plays in the American league if I'm not mistaken, I think he'll end his career there.

Every big team which intends to win the league must have a top, top striker, Aguero with city, Salah with Liverpool, Kane with Spurs, United really need a monster up front, a goal machine and a game changer. To an extent they seem to have solved their defensive woes, but in attack they are a bit short. No offense to martial or Marcus, but they are not the kind of strikers that win a team the league.

This is one peculiar "feature" of the Altcoin bounty projects. Did you simply hire just any bounty manager? no good trust, no positive reviews or reputation.
If you did not want issues such as this to happen wouldn't it have been better to spend more money on getting a good manager, a trustworthy one for your project.

Meta is for FP,  please move to reputation.

Some investors are dumb and do not learn their lessons, when they get scammed they blame the network and the system, forgetting its their own foilies and faults. It's been hammered and ringed like a bell on the sort of projects one should invest in, the time of ICO seems to have gone, and those early investors were able to make something from it, what about now? It's almost impossible not to get scammed or to waste your time with useless coins.

Instead of still trying to make money out of ICOs, wouldn't it be better to learn more about bitcoin, and how to earn it, choosing the best method which suits you, acquiring coins, hoarding them or day trading with them.

But what if they lost points again? (Which I believe it is the most possible to happen).
I think that Man United is going to lose more points (maybe the players will do that on purpose) in order to force the board to sack Ole Gunnar Solksjaer.
Definitely they are going to drop points, buts whether they'll do that on purpose, I do not think it's possible. This players are professionals who are paid an insane amount of money every week, there is no way they'll come out to the pitch and play to lose.

The opposition team would clearly be better than them and take their chances to win them, United is a team in crisis at the moment, I'd love to see if Solskjaer makes it till the new year as manager. If they get beat by Liverpool, it's going to be a tough one to swallow.
5645  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 11, 2019, 01:37:42 AM
I can see both teams being able to thrash something out there. United need a goalscorer, none of their current strikers get 20 goals a season.
I do not see Mandzukic as "that" goal scorer united needs, I think mandzukic would find it very difficult to adapt in the premier league, he's strong though and has a really strong desire, but I do not believe mandzukic has the skill or the talent to give Manchester United what they want.

You must also bring his age into consideration here, he is well over 30, I do not know if united are thinking here trying to get mandzukic in the deal.

24. Advertisements (including signatures within the post area) in posts aren't allowed unless the post is in a thread you started and is really substantial and useful.
They are probably breaking the rules without even knowing, I think the mod should issue them a warning before nuking the accounts. If they do not stop advertising a signature within a post, then a 7 day ban may do the trick.

I just hope if the accounts are banned or nuked, they would not just open some other one, and start from where they left off.

LOL. Pogba is also crap. You have to blame him as well for Manchester United's situation and performance.
And I am so impressed that Juventus want him back. He hasn't showed any improvement all this years that he left Juve. Instead he has been worse.
You're correct, I do not think Manchester United would be missing much if they let Paul Pogba go, he is a world class talent, without a doubt, but since his return to united, he hasn't proven he is worth the amount of money united splashed on him. It'll be better for united and Pogba if the two parties go their separate ways.

Pogba's performances, especially in big games are always poor, United need dedicated players who can be devoted to the team, and run till their legs can no longer carry them, look what Bernado Silva does at City, that's a player willing to give his all for his team, I do not see that in Paul.
5648  Other / Meta / Re: sMerits Validity? on: October 10, 2019, 12:22:10 PM
. However, it has been proposed that sMerits should decay to encourage users to spend them, but nothing has been implemented for that yet.
Do you think such will be implemented, when you have to understand that some users do not really have a plethora of Smerits and are probably cautious with how they spend it, so when they see the best kind of posts, based on their judgement they'll be able to show appreciation.

I think if it's to be implemented, it's should be for users who have let's say about 50 Smerits and above and haven't sent out any in a particular period of time.

I wouldn't mind not using fiat currencies anymore, but if that happens how then would I be able to cope since the area I live in is still struggling to achieve a cashless society. Credit and debit cards are being integrated, but that's still more or less "fiat". If I stop using cash, I'll love it to be replaced with cryptocurrencies, bitcoin to be exact because I'm a staunch believer in its potentialities.

You and I know it's not possible for bitcoin to replace fiat, so I'll just continue using the bitcoin more alongside my fiat currency

It is reported that pep Guardiola slammed David Silva in the dressing room after the wolves game, claiming he wasn't fast enough and didn't run much both in attack and defense, and also in closing down players.

I just hope there is no unrest in our dressing room at the moment, we're eight points behind and we're still chasing, but  if the team isn't united in the dressing room, then we have two things to chase. I hope pep Guardiola settles the nerves in the dressing room when his players return from the international break, and make sure they don't drop silly points going forward.

Who else saw the news of pep threatening to quit if city fall apart in the title race?

The situation at Milan is very similar to Man Utd, both fallen giants so far away from their glory days. Football goes in cycles though, I’m confident they’ll both return to glory one day. It might take 10-15 years but they’ll both be back.
I think we're seeing the end of an era with this two teams, AC Milan have been elusive when the big teams compete for trophies for so many years now, United now are following that same trend with the years going by.

When a team falls from glory, it's very difficult to rise again, check all the teams this has happened to, while they are struggling to get back to the elite, the other top teams and getting stronger and stronger and drifting farther away from their level, just look at City and man.u for instance, city are miles away from united at the moment and it looks impossible for the gap to be closed.
But since city closed theirs when they were doing the chasing years back, united can likewise bounce back.

Good luck Welsh, would really be something if you manage to do this (seemingly with no help from theymos).
Theymos has given his support, and told us reasons why he would not be putting in effort in this one, and really he has a lot to handle already on the forum.
If the community can pull through with this, with the special efforts of a few, I think it'll be amazing and theymos would be proud.

We are also here to help the community grow, and our collective efforts come in handy just as Theymos'.

Now it is time for correction and they should start by replacing the manager and trying to bring in a more experienced manager for the Premier League.
While I think you're right, don't you think it's too early to start thinking about sacking the manager and getting a new one at this time, the season is just about two months old and Solskjaer is in his first full tenure as manager, sacking him at this moment would show that the team lacks direction and are rather confused on the way forward, considering how many managers have been in charge since fergie left.

I think Manchester United would stay a longer period outside the elite club group.
5654  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 08, 2019, 10:55:57 AM
So, no AC Milan is not wrong if Stefano Pioli officially handles AC Milan.
Stefano pioli is a good coach, but I think considering AC Milan's bad position right now in the Italian league, they need someone with a higher and better pedigree. AC Milan have lost their place among the Italian elite and need to do something quick to regain it.

Milan should have gone for a coach such as Jose Mourinho, he has in the past being a champion in the Italian league, and I believe he'll bring them out of the slump, but I do not know if he'll be willing to coach AC Milan.
Anyways I wish Pioli luck, good luck!
5655  Other / Meta / Re: Child Boards on Local on: October 08, 2019, 10:19:43 AM
On Pilipinas Local Board we just have Altcoin, though we think we should have another one like Off-Topics so we can be somewhat discuss some other stuffs
What's the need adding an off-topic board in your local board, the forum already has a general off-topic section that's really in a mess right now, adding to that would attract more spam.

If users in your local boards need a section to discuss off-topic issues, they can do it in the general off-topic section, their language must not be coherent nor syntacticaly acceptable, we're already used to the garbage in that section,  so we wouldn't mind.
5656  Other / Meta / Re: Necro-bumping to encourage members to return to a forum, on: October 08, 2019, 07:28:49 AM
Personally if I leave the forum today, it'll be for a reason best to me, and I would not need to be encouraged to return as I already am aware of all the positives I gain from the forum, and TBH I'll be the one on the losing end.

This forum offers all that users desire about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, so for someone to leave the forum, we've got to think, did they get banned? Are they now apathetic to the bitcoin and cryptocurrencies or have they found themselves another area of interest in real life.
5657  Other / Meta / Re: Staff Dabs abusing merit? on: October 08, 2019, 05:49:30 AM
The messages you guys speak off, what was the vibe behind the PMs, was it some extortion, system abuse (get merit/trust for your money), bribe attempt or just a regular forum user begging for money to bypass some hard times. If the PM weren't harmful per se but there's a punishment for such actions I won't oppose the right punishment been given.
I think this is the most important part of the "gist". As I would love to know if sending private messages to beg for money, without any intention to scam or extort the user is against the rules. I know begging in general is likely not acceptable on the forum, most especially when it's to cajole the other user probably because of your position or probably because you want to scam the user, or exchange the money for merits etc.

I do not think dabs has done too much wrong here, though clarifications is needed in this case, is any random begging for money against the rules? If i pm'd any random user asking them for money for X or Y reasons and I get reported, what punishment would I face?
5658  Other / Meta / Re: Which is the most appropriate format to qoute reply a post? on: October 08, 2019, 02:24:29 AM
I think the first option is the most appropriate method of quoting a reply, though the latter also can be used to good effect.
When I read a quoted reply, I always read firstly what was quoted by the OP,  this helps me to then understand what exactly the OP is replying to or what he's trying to say. So I prefer the quoted part of the text cones on top, so users can read it first, before reading the reply to it below. It makes discussions orderly and apt.

If it comes after the reply, it could give the reader a second or two in connecting the reply, to the quote at the end, and for people with low level of understanding as well as newbies, it may pose a little headache for them.
5659  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: October 07, 2019, 12:28:30 PM
Do you think the match between Man City vs Wolves is set? or this is just an unlucky day for Man city  Cheesy
Really I don't think Man city is beaten at home this match should have ended in a draw. 
When you say "set", do you mean fixed? If that's what you mean, then there is no such thing like that, Wolves were the most clinical of the two sides and came out with the victory. I think city's rearguard is still proving to be their problem this season, and until Laporte and Stones return from injury, they'll continue to suffer in the hands of teams with powerful attacking prowess.

The international break at this moment is not the best thing for city's confidence, I think they'd love to get along with proceedings this weekend, but they'll have to wait sometime. I just hope all our players come back fit, for now Liverpool are sitting clearly eight points clear, but I believe it's not over yet.
5660  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 07, 2019, 05:50:10 AM
Despite the loss, am liking the looks of Inter's three in defence. Now to see if Conte can get them back up from a shitty week.
I felt really sad at the outcome of the game, I wanted inter to win, just as i want inter to win the league.Both teams played well and deserved to win. I think this victory takes juve back to the top of the table, but I think conte and his team would really push juve till the very end, it's gonna be a ferocious title race in the seria A this season.

It's better this way, when one team dominates for so many years, it becomes boring, I hope inter don't fizzle out as time goes on.
