This Warriors team season is done so far Steve Kerr remains their coach, man! he's philosophy is literally out of place, he ships their best young scoorer out Jordan Poole, that was fair enough, but what's with having Kuminga on the bench for the last 18 minutes of the game ? having already won the 3rd quarter by 20 points differents, he just doesn't trust these young guys, despite the fact that they his best assest other than Curry right now, Pod, Trayce and Kuminga would be having more time on any roster in the league right, and he should take a deep look into the toping the league and looking how many minute their young lads are playing either as a starter or of the bench, he's the main reason of Team USA woeful under performance in the FIBA too, I just don't know why it's taking the Dubs too long to understand they need a big change.

Lucky you to be riding on a delicate lead on our friendly, courtesy of Girona's continued brilliance to their la liga season, I will probably the nex few game week to watching them I've only watched about 2-3 times this season, and those were the matches they didn't meet up to my expectation of being the league leaders and felt like they were just the joke of the season, I guess I might be wrong.

That's a perfect solution imo, and I'm opened to that option.

It shouldn't be an issue for anyone that is on the same sig campaign and wants to participate in this Pool.

Our opinions on both games are aligned, but so does that of Trofo my friendly match opponent, it's quite hilarious how many answers we have in common, but there sure are some deciding factors down the week for us.

I'll probably spend my whole off the forum for today and perhaps, tomorrow too, that's if I find something very fun to do, because it's my Birthday today, and a couple of well wishes from my BSFL family will do just fine 

They will be a trending topic in Twitter Nigeria right now if that had missed out


--------------------------------

That was quite a great week for me, I'll be getting over 100 Points in total once my autosub comes into play, I really can't even remember the last time I was close getting such points for a game week, pheew!

I strongly agree on the 3 pools or more, because giving it a second thought, Sportsbet have at least 4-5 active sponspored pools, and there but a few people that join just one or two, I understand it could be down to interest and personal decision, but having a free pool for users playing in 3 already paid pools once in a while like this should drive more participants towards the upcoming seasons, that being said, I would also like an all inclusive pool, so if there will be a fee for others it should be highly moderate, maybe something in the range 0.5 mBTC which is currently a bit over $20, or around ~$30 would be fair, given that it's the start of a new year and quite a number of us (myself inclusive  ), might be on a tight budget for this month.

Isn't Jordan Ayew also headed out for AFCON duties with his country ? Edouard would have been Ayew replacement for me, but I've got the perfect selection option I want for my forwards and Ayew leaving for International duties would make Eze and Oliseh play a more advance style as Palace major scoring options, perhaps Mateta could be worth a look too, but as I've said earlier, my forward line is complete.

Another absolute steal that I was considering was Michael Olise, but it seem he's pick up a bit of knock too, I don't he's completely fit for long term have, but he's had a monster haul in the last for consecutive games for a player of his calibre valued just under £6m, for now, and after their fixture against Arsenal, Crystal Palace seem to have some good fixture to have him and/or Eberechi Eze for.

Free for those particpating in at least two Sportsbet pool or $50 is also fine by me, I'm not just so sure about how engaged I'll be with this as additional pool, but you I'm always down for whatever and whenever.

I remember Tomahawk9 being a very active participant of the last AFCON tournament, but it's been quite a very while he was active on here.

It's quite interesting to see that we have some Tennis questions again, it's going to be an interesting end to this BSFL season, I reckon. I really have not figured out my answers yet, but since it's friendly match against a mediocre team Trofo, this should be a walk in the park for my team 

Newcastle were awful, they surely can compete this season, both of their goals were just rather not convincing as that of a good team ready to compete, except for the first goal, the pick out pass was awesome, and the finish from Isak even very classier and top notch for striker. I just wish Darwin Nunez would learn from that and produce a stellar performance in Salah's absence, but all will be well so far Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota + Cody Gakpo are all fit.

Game 1:  28, 17'
Game 2:  28, 22'

1. It's not criticism, it's just stating an obvious fact that happens with Arsenal year in year out in the last few season.

2. It's January and the seaon have already begun, just so you know, every team are now very consicous of every single game now, and any point lost now could make or mar any team's potential success for the season.

That’s like Arsenal tossing 6 points in the way of Liverpool and Man City, how do you throw 6 points down the drain in a space of few days and expect to win the league, when the likes of Liverpool and Man City will probably just starting having their best run of form.

Yeah, @Trofo I’m in!

I’m in against you for $50 bet paid in BTC, all 10 questions are considered bar the first penalty, and the 2nd penalty question only comes into play if there is tie after all other questions.

How about a friendly match for those are eliminated from the Cup already ? I’m sure Igebotz and Trofo would be eliminated already, I don’t even need to check to fixture to be sure 😂

Yeah, the Chicago Bulls are slightly better with Zach Lavine sidelined, I'm not saying this makes Lavine a terrible player, but maybe that's not just the team he's meant to be in, while there is a very huge speculation of where he would end up, with a high chance of him getting traded, Raptors were one of those team, now I don't think Raptors is a possible destination after just trading for RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, the other in question was said to be Miami Heat, while the Heat look to have gotten some significant piece from draft picks and a couple of veterans, addition of Zach Lavine wouldn't be a downgrade, neither will it disrupt whatever chemistry they're trying to build now.

Any coach could have bad a season, and their current run of form isn't why I think he will get sacked before the end of the season, but his tactics is my main point of concern, and when a team isn't playing really well and the coach look short of ideas every second on the sideline you don't expect club owners to stick around with them for too long, and he would soon fall out with another fan favorite player and blame him for their poor form, Maguire was at some point a scape goat(yeah Maguire was indeed awful, but has gotten better), Ronaldo, Sancho, and I really think there some dressing room trouble, Rashford and Bruno have lost their mojo, perhaps, every player does at some point, having played incredibly year in year out under different managers. However, the lack of hunger or sense of urgency from the team best players for only God knows why, and again, regardless of their performance no proffesioner player likes their coach getting used to finding scape goats amongst the team when the going gets tough.

Palmer is a must have right now, he's the best assest from Chelsea right, one of the best in form FPL midfielders and he's for a price bargain, the cheapeast in terms of points per game in relation to player's value.

Nkunku would be another another gem to behold, especially with Jackson inminent departure from the club for AFCON.


-----------------------

Mamchester Losenited at it again, this time it's against Nottingham, how a lot of people are still very convinced that Ten Hag would finish this season as Man United manager is something I don't understand, tbh.

Yeah, I understand and the point trying make is that those fews that these top players with be out for will determine quite a number of things, just take look at how yourself and Morvillz7z manage your teams, you know that either of you might not win a single game round as the top point scorer, but you'll fancy you chances over a 38 games period for no other reason than the fact the logic will eventually pay off in a long term approach over just luck, no illogical manager will be lucky for 38 games, while no logical manager will be unlucky for 38 games as well, so If we put the former and latter manager together, in my opinion the logical manager will always have the edge in a very good ratio, compared to the other.
