Well, it's pretty self explanatory really. A thanks button is just that - a way to show appreciation. Not much different than merit really but that is in very limited supply and newbies have little to none of it. It's obviously not essential but would help in situations like the OP and implementation of it should be easy given it'd be like the merit system. 'Overusing' the likes shouldn't matter either because what are the consequences of doing that?

It's practically impossible to to find someone who would be politically neutral or impartial. Everyone has their biases and people will put you into a box even if you don't have or want one. Putting a name on that board is probably just going to invite a lot of vitriol directed to that person even if moderation has nothing to do with them so I think it's probably best not to have a dedicated mod in there and any Globals can handle anything serious if needed.

If Mayweather has let a couple of kids get into his head from some childishness then he can't be that great of a fighter. If you let this sort of stuff bother you then it's just welcoming more of it from them and others. Trashtalking works both ways though: to try sell the fight and get an advantage psychologically. If you can truly annoy someone or make them angry before they've stepped foot in the ring it can lead to recklessness and fighters losing their cool and that's an easy way for an upset to happen. If the Paul's have geniuly annoyed or hurt him then this is only an advantage for them.

It probably was going in to be honest but you can never be sure and could have easily hit the post. Should have been given as an own goal though as it completely changed the direction of the ball.


It was a bad round for most as there were a lot of upsets. Didn't think Liverpool would beat United especially given their recent form. Newcastle v City tonight could be tricky as well. Both have nothing to play for now and City could put out a b team to give some players a game and get their PL medal if they've not played the minimum amount of matches.

An exhibition match doesn't mean its a scripted wrestling match. Both of these fighters are going to want to win. Mayweather has his perfect unbeaten record to preserve and LP will want to win for obvious reasons. Paul is the underdog so has nothing to lose but Mayweather has a lot of pride and a huge ego so a loss would be a huge embarrassment to him not to mention tarnishing his legacy. They both seem to have developed a dislike of each other as well so I don't think either of them are going to take it easy and go into this like it's a sparring session.

But that's why a like button would be helpful. It's common courtesy to thank someone for help and a like button would at least curb people just littering threads with pleasantries. Sometimes a thanks is all some people require but it's a bit of a stretch for people to go suggesting people merit a post because they don't have any. A simple like button would do the job there.


Well it didn't have support for merit either but theymos implemented it  .

Went with a home win but probably would've backed a draw if I'd have seen the B-team United put out. Not sure why Ollie decided to do that as a win would have at least kept them in the title race. I could've understood if the Europa final was this week but it's not until the end of the season so they should keep playing for the wins until that's out of reach. City have been playing inconsistent and have the CL final to concentrate on so a couple more slip ups wouldn't have surprised me.

It's still possible but it'll be depending on Chelsea, Leicester or West Ham losing a lot of games. Europa is their best bet now but even that will be put of reach if West Ham win all their remaining games. West Ham have quite an easy run now though as well so even that will be difficult.

Lolwut Newcastle are beating Leicester away 4-0 and there's still 20 minutes to go. Not watching it so no idea what's going on but I guess Newcastle are safe from relegation now. Leicester can't be throwing away points if they want to hold on to that Champions League spot. Only two people backed the away win.


The game has been rescheduled for next week. I wonder if the fans will protest again. Something tells me Man U will have beefed up their security this time. Pretty embarrassing that they not only managed to walk into the ground and onto the pitch but some of them even got into the supposedly 'covid secure' dressing rooms.

There's no way he should be anywhere near the favourite but I definitely think it's worth sticking a tenner on at odds of 10/1 and higher. People seem to be writing off LP as if he hasn't got a chance but the difference in size is huge and it doesn't matter if you're the best boxer in the world someone who is twice the size of you can knock you out as you can't stop your brain rattling around in your skull. There's also the huge age gap as well so don't forget that this is a 44 year old man v's a 26 year old kid. I don't think LP will win as Mayweather will probably just do what he always does and go on the defensive which he's a master at but he's also no knockout artist even in his own weight-class so to KO Paul will be difficult. My expectation is that the fight will go the distance and Mayweather will win it on points or maybe Mayweather will just tire him out and then go in for the kill or the ref stops it or something. I'm kinda interested in seeing what happens though. Mayweather has more to lose here but either way there's going to be no losers given the paycheck they'll both be getting.

Definitely deserves it for sure, but he only has a 14 point lead which can be the difference of a round really especially if someone has a shit week where you get next to zero points and someone else has a great one. In round 33 two weeks ago he only got 2.5 points whereas the winner of that round got 9. Do that twice and your lead is gone. It's a nice buffer to have though and comes in handy for those weeks you do poorly. There's going to be a lot of games/rounds crammed into this last month so who knows what's going to to happen. I'm looking forward to the last day of the season though when they play all the games at once. Hopefully I'm still in with a shot by then.

I guess Harkorede has won the pool seeing as there's only two games left.


Weather has been pretty weird this year over here. Doesn't look like it snowed much though.


Hard game to call. I thought Real would win easily in the home fixture but Chelsea did well to hold them to a draw. I'll probably go for another draw. Real are the better team but I guess Chelsea will have the slight home advantage and maybe Real playing on their training ground was a bit of a hinderance. Kinda hope Real go though though as the CL final is usually boring when it's two teams from the same league. Anyone know if Ramos is playing?

Don't forget there's a game on tonight. Can't be dropping points if you want to win a paid position and a lot of people miss out on these Friday games.


To be honest, anyone who got more than a few points did very well from that round. Mostly complete upsets.


You need to message jeremypwr or steve for them:

It'll more likely be on Triller, though they could do a cross-platform deal I guess. This is much more a sign-of-the-times online streaming fight than a TV PPV as Tommy Fury is probably still more known for being on Love Island or just the brother of Tyson than his boxing career. Tommy Fury doesn't have that big of a draw yet and Jake Paul is invested with Triller so I'd be surprised if it wasn't at least on their platform. Frank Warren has at least shown interest so it could certainly happen. I think Jake Paul is going to get a shock once he steps into the ring with a proper boxer though so he might want to keep fighting people he will think he can beat. Tommy is still relatively new though and hasn't fought anyone notable yet so maybe Jake will take the shot on this fight.

I think he was being sarcastic. Most people did pretty badly but there was a lot of upsets. I thought this was going to be a zero-point round for me but luckily I got points from the draws on the last two games. Almost changed my Leeds score to a Man U away win as I thought the draw was risky but glad I stuck to my guns. Hopefully Bielsa will get a manager of the month award now to win me my bet. Leeds drew two and won two this month and grabbing points from Man City, Man U and Liverpool is no easy task. I think Man U and Newcastle were the only other teams unbeaten this month. Steve Bruce could be in the running for it though especially as they were fighting relegation. They also grabbed point from Liverpool. Only won month left now with 5 games to play.

Almost certainly not. All the English teams have dropped out so it's just Juve, Barca and Real Madrid now. It's basically just the El Classico but even that's lost it spark especially since there's no Messi v Ronaldo and maybe even Messi will move on at the end of this season. The whole super league thing was a very greedy move and glad the fans spoke up but it's not like money hasn't already ruined football but this super league thing was the big boys trying to run their own Champion's League the way they wanted it and grabbing most of the money. The CL isn't much better though and is going to become a joke as they're expanding that in a ludicrous way like they're doing with the World Cup going from 32 to 48 teams and it's just for more revenue as more teams equals more games and therefore more TV and Advertising revenue.


It's not impossible. United have a game in hand as well, so lets assume United win on Sunday then that's only an 8 point gap.

That was pretty embarrassing for Askren. As bad as Askren is outside of wrestling he should have done better. At least he admits it was embarrassing but doesn't seem to care too much. I guess the got his payday.


I'd be very surprised if Tommy Fury didn't KO him very easily. Fury is a professional boxer from an obviously very strong boxing family. Jake is an amateur who's fought nobody of worth. I'll admit him KO-ing Askren surprised me but Askren isn't a boxer. He himself admits he's a terrible striker. If Jake did manage to put on a decent show then I'd take my hat off to him but I think he's going to get a shock if he does manage to land a fight like this or even one with McGregor who can actually box.


I only watched the headline fight but I think what makes these fights interesting is the both the randomness of them and the unexpectedness. Who knows what's going to happen when you get these sorts of match ups. Sometimes they're shit, sometimes they're interesting and sometimes you get unexpected things like this. I think we'll be seeing more and more of them once celebs and promoters realise how much money is involved. Doesn't really matter about the quality of the fights when they're making millions and both parties will want their piece of the pie.

Not as sorry as I am  . Would've made the rest of the competitions a lot more exciting had they been able to get past Chelsea. No idea why Pep didn't field the strongest team. I don't buy the 'tired' excuse. It's not like they've got anything super-important for a bit as the PL is practically in the bag. Winning the quadruple should be something any top manager should aspire to especially as it hasn't been done before and I don't think they've been in a better position to do so than right now.

Glad Leeds got the point last night as they deserved it. Real shame Bamford's shot hit the crossbar but a draw is good for me as I got the correct score on the 1-1. The only bet I have left running from the beginning of the season is Bielsa to win a manager of the month award now so I'm hoping this will be his month. If they can beat arch rivals Man United on sunday I think he might grab it, but they're gonna be tough. At least it's at Elland Road but not sure how much home advantage plays a part these days.


They're in the op. Top ten payouts only.


I didn't think Jose deserved to be sacked. They're seventh place 3 points behind Liverpool and 5 points behind a CL spot. At least give him till the end of the season. I really abhor this firing of managers during the season or after a handful of poor performances. Do clubs think they've just gotta cycle through managers until they find the right one that will give them glory or something? It's getting ridiculous. Jose was as good as they're gonna get but they never should have got rid of Poch.

Tesla have many car showrooms in the UK with a fleet of cars already available so they do the importing. Most car companies don't manufacture in the UK these days anyway and I think Tesla is opening up a gigafactory in Berlin so that will cover their Europe-wide base.


The Cybertruck was quoted as being about half that at surprisingly around 50k, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't more than that on launch. Hopefully they can keep the costs reasonable. I wouldn't buy one at $100k but 50k is definitely reasonable and I would have no problem spending 1 bitcoin on one. Obviously you're going to have to have a bit of money to be able to buy one but people do buy new cars and since this is something new and unique it's going to be a while before you can pick them up on the second-hand market. If there's a shortage of them which I think there will be they might even go for much more initially until they can meet demand. As for spending bitcoins, people are going to want to cash them out at some point or spend them on something and I see nothing better than at least supporting a company that has taken the risk to both buy into bitcoin and actually accept it as payment which you can't ask for anything more from a company. I hope there's actually a lot of people buying Teslas (and other things) with bitcoin in the future as it gives it more weight as a currency or a payment medium at least rather than something that people just hodl till they die. 

So it opened at $381, hit a high of $429 and a low of $300 and is currently at $328. I'll keep an eye out and see how well it does before I decide if I buy in. May pick some up on the big dips if they happen. They don't plan to issue dividends though as they plan to reinvest the money into the company which is usually great for the stock price in the long run but I like to get some passive income from my stocks as opposed to just solely relying on growth. I would be real concerned about competition in the long run but Coinbase is probably going to be the Tesla/Google of bitcoin and they can probably adapt to meet demand and should do if they're smart, especially with this huge cash injection now. I'm sure a lot of bitcoin exchanges will be planning their floats for the near future though.

Liverpool were the better team I thought and had the most chances but they just couldn't put them away. Courtois was tested early on with Milner's surprisingly awesome shot. Real shame that didn't go in as it would have been a class goal and maybe changed the game. Didn't watch the City game as that was the one they didn't show on Dazn but I'm glad they went through as I need them to win the CL for the quadruple bet I put on at the beginning of the season  . Will be cheering on City in all competitions for the rest of the season now  . PL is in the bag and the domestic cups shouldn't be too much of an issue but the CL will obviously be the toughest and also the last game played (assuming they get to the final).
