What a game at the Etihad stadium today. The Manchester derby between Manchester City and Manchester United. Truth be told I never expected the match to go down like this, derby matches are meant to be tough but today we saw a very weak Manchester United and a super strong Manchester City. It was complete domination by Manchester City over United. Haaland and Phil Foden showed their class today and shared the six goals scored by City.
We are at the point of the season where every three points matter and I think as it stands Manchester United may not be coming to the Uefa champions league next season.
it was a one sided match in the first half, Manchester United's players looked lost, and as man city scored and scored, we could see how frustrated the team was and how players were mad about that, even fans weren't happy with that because a lot of them left the stadium at half-time. |

Wow, Monza can win with clean sheets again this week, after previously winning over Juventus with a score of 1-0 now it's Sampdoria's turn to receive a 0-2 defeat at home. Indeed, Sampdoria itself this season is very bad, even Sampdoria have not won at all but Sampdoria in previous seasons is a team that at least fills the middle of the standings. That way Sampdoria should have the ability to bounce back, but what has happened this season looks like Sampdoria may be in danger of being relegated.
Monza slowly began to improve its ranking with two consecutive wins, the fighting spirit of Manza players grew after defeating Juventus. Now Sampdoria are victims of the ferocity of Monza players, three goals were created in this match without a single goal in return from Sampdoria players. As a result of this defeat, Sampdoria sank at the bottom of the standings with 2 points, while Monza has the right to occupy the 16th position with 7 points from 8 matches. Monza AR being impressive lately, they started the season off with 5 defeats, and now they have two consecutive wins when they the underdog in both of them, I don't think it will last that long, it could end in their match against Spezia next week, Spezia should make up for the loss against Lazio with four goals, a draw could be enough for them regarding their situation. |

City with Haaland is just too good - they seem unstoppable at this point. He's exactly the type of player they needed - a no-nonsense, high workrate quality forward option that will have a million of good passes to chase and convert.
He's got 3 hattricks in 8 games - I heard somewhere that the record for 3 hattricks before him was like 40+ games or something. He's not going to the WC so he'll be well rested - he looks set to break all the scoring records this year.
Haaland is like a Monster on the opponent's goal line. always in position and can hit the ball with any part of the foot. He was as big as a rugby player, agile as a gymnast, and terrifying to any goalkeeper who saw him gliding towards them. we can watch history unfold before us week after week. I always thought that after the era of Messi and Cr7, nobody could come who could play at such a high level like them, but Haaland is currently proving the opposite and as you write, City needed a striker like him. Arsenal are currently in first place, but will they be able to maintain their performance like City? I think at Christmas Manchester City will have the 1st place at the latest. the two young players that are shining right now are Haaland and Mbappe, I can see them as Cr7 and Messi, too bad they're not playing in the same league tho, but they will, Haaland said that he wants to play in all the big leagues, probably like 2 years in each one, we'll see a fight to be the top goalscorer just like we used to see Messi and Ronaldo fight for, it would be interesting to see that happen. |

An interesting match today between Lens and Lyon, Lens are In a great form and other hand Lyon aren't doing that well, I don't really know what to expect from this match but I think that both teams to score would the best option here even though the odds are not high, but I wouldn't mind adding it to a multi bet.

Arsenal 3 - 1 Tottenham
Arsenal showed that this season they are fighting for the title and from what I see the title fight will be between Arsenal and City, but City will still have to face Manchester United and if they lose then Arsenal will be further away from City .
I didn't expect Arsenal to be at the top of the leader board after 8 matches with 21 points, this is not just luck for them, they were getting better by the end of last season and they kept getting better and better, to win the premier league is really tough especially with Manchester City being really good, beating Tottenham today is a really good sign that they can. |

Dortmund missed a good chance today to be the leader of the Bundesliga, they were winning but couldn't keep the score for the rest of the match, we've seen something similar before against Manchester City in the champions league and against Werder Bremen in the league, the coach should work on that, they can't keep losing points like that.

We can get 3.05 odd in total in a multi betslip. I'm feeling pretty confident about all of these options. But if someone asked me which one of them I'm afraid of the most then I'd say Manchester City. Because Manchester United are having a really good form now and they have won two big games against Arsenal and Liverpool already. This makes me wonder how good defense they will have in this game. I just want to believe in especially Haaland to break them. It isn't easy for even the team having the best defense to keep Haaland away from their goal.
I was also going to talk about how I think Man City having some troubles against them, Man utd been on a good form lately and we already saw that Man City can draw against a weaker team and Man utd can win against a strong team, so I would also be skeptical about that bet, Arsenal and Tottenham both teams to score has higher odds than Man City to win but it seems easier to happen. |

England were the weakest link of the group, they only scored one in goal in five matches and they are playing the sixth one now, and they are losing 1-0 to Germany, if England have any respect for their fans they should at least score a goal today, I'm betting on them to score in this match, they didn't do a lot in this match but I think they can at least score @1.73, a decent bet I suppose.
I m even surprised seeing Germany scored 2 over England, and Italy 2 against Hungary I never expected this to be so but was wondering how England was given 1 zeros from my observation they aren't making move, Germany plays more confidently without being in any pressure. I knew that England wouldn't lose again that easily, they had to put up a show in the last match because we are getting closer to the world cup, it was a very exciting match even though they were playing for nothing, both teams were playing with no pressure and goals started raining at the end, I take England to score with 1.73 odds, it was worth it. I think it was the most enjoyable game of the day. I enjoyed watching the game. Both teams played well. I didn't expect this performance from England. England came out of nowhere to give the fans a show, after Germany scored the first, i thought that England were done, and when they scored the 2nd i thought England are dead and how are they going to compete in the world cup with such terrible performance, but with this comeback, i can see that they can do something against big teams and i should not underestimate them. |

Union has lower odds than Frankfurt! 3.3 Union vs 2.2 Frankfurt. Not sure if this is an opportunity to x3 the money or a trap?
those odds are really tempting considering the fact that Union Berlin are on fire this season being in the first and haven't lost a match yet, even against Bayern Munich, 2X is probably a good bet or i probably would go with draw no bet in the favor of the leader of the bundesliga. |

for me the Arsenal vs Tottenham match is more difficult to predict, apart from both teams being
in the top 4, Arsenal and Tottenham also this season their performance has improved much better. As you said it will be an important game for Arsenal
and Tottenham. Because if they drop points, it will benefit Man City, who looks like Man City will beat Man United. It is likely that Tottenham will
play defensively and rely on counter-attacks, because as we know Conte will play defensively when facing a strong team. That is indeed a big possibility
in the Arsenal vs Tottenham match there will not be many goals, because it's likely that both teams will play more carefully. My prediction for
Arsenal vs Tottenham match will end in a draw, because the two teams do have almost the same strength.
that's a really tough match to predict, but i somehow think that Arsenal won't win it, we didn't see them play against a team like Manchester City, we only saw few matches against at best "just okay" teams, they should win to keep up with Man City but Tottenham will have something else to say, that's my guess. |

There is no doubt that Barcelona has been playing extremely well most recently, and they are in a very good position in La Liga right now. Unfortunately, they don't have a good record in the Champions League competition, which is what makes the problem worse. It is for this reason that I believe they will be unable to win the match against Milan in the upcoming match. However, the current form of both teams, makes it apparent that it looks like Barcelona is going to be the winner of this match. In addition, Barcelona also lost against Bayern Munich in the Champions League very recently as well. Therefore, they will also be determined to do well in this match as well.
The problem now is that some players can't play for them and it's confirmed that Kounde and Araujo can't play now. Kunde is expected to be out for the next 4 to 5 weeks due to his injury and Araujo is more severe and is expected to be out for 8 weeks for Barcelona. Obviously this is a loss for them because indeed these two players can be considered vital in their position. this could make things complicated for Barcelona, Inter's position doesn't put a lot of pressure on them really because they're facing both Bayern and Barcelona, and with players missing i can see Inter getting a draw if not winning, i really want to see the start up squads and how the first few minutes will go before deciding what to bet on, as of now it's very unclear. |

And as the saying goes, if one door closes, another one open, so this is a good opportunity for the young and up coming to really show their talent because Federer has retired already.
We have discussed their names already, and then this year, we have another one in Alcaraz. So we will see who is brave enough to somewhat become the next or even surpassed Roger's achievement.
Federer had an elegance with how he played and Alcaraz dosent have that. Alcaraz has a gamestyle like Nadal and is similar to him. New stars are here and i dont know for how long Djokovic and Nadal wi be playing. Nadal always has injuries now so i think he will be the next to retire. You are completely right about this. It was these players who made many people love tennis. We have enjoyed watching the rivalry between these players in recent years, everything they do off the court has attracted the attention of millions and they are names that are deeply admired. The time when Nadal will also retire is pretty close. Now a new generation is coming, we will get used to watching the stars here and we will talk about these names for the next 15 years  I also started watching tennis with the big three, and seeing one of them retire is heartbreaking, even Rafael couldn't hold his tears, they shared the spot light and had crazy matches against each other, Nadal also said "When Roger leaves the tour an important part of my life is leaving too" you don't see a lot of players crying for a rival retiring in other sports, but Tennis is special. |

PSG will be facing Nice in their next match of Ligue 1 and the odds are very low for them to win 1.16, I don't know if betting on this match can get me anywhere maybe a big score ? Psg hasn't scored more than three goals in a long time, maybe this would be it after players get back from their boring friendlies and nation league matches (you could call them official friendlies too) Nice aren't doing well so PSG could destroy them.

Inter are not lucky enough to be in a group with teams like Barcelona and Bayern.
it was almost obvious when I saw the draw that Barcelona and Bayern Munich will be the two to qualify, I'm not sure though who's 1st and who's 2nd, but Inter were unlucky to be in a group with these two giants, at least they'll end up third and play in Europa League, they have bigger chances of winning there than the champions league. |

But about the Chelsea coach I totally agree with you, he was a great coach last season and could very well continue in the same vein and do it now, but for some reason the management decided otherwise. He will be perfect for Bayern, he has German roots, he will work well with the team.
Basically Thomas Tuchel start his coaching career from FC Augsburg II which became part of the German association football club. Tuchel has 10 seasons of experience in the German league including Borussia Dortmund It will be a plus if Tuchel returns to the Bundesliga to manage Bayern, he is already familiar with the local league and for competitions outside the Bundesliga, his experience at PSG and Chelsea will be a consideration to see the quality of coach Thomas Tuchel in managing the club. I fully support Bayern planning to bring him to the Allianz Arena there is no doubt about how experienced Tuchel is in the Bundesliga in any team in the league should try to get him to sign with them, but Bayern's team seems like they still have faith in their coach right now, if they keep the negative results in the upcoming match, they have to think seriously about changing the coach because they already have good players, and Tuchel could give them what they need. |

Barcelona must move on from Messi because Messi era at Barcelona is over. Now that Barcelona has new young players in its squad, Ansu Fati, Pedri and Gavi are the pearls of Barcelona future. The combination of different generations of players in the Barcelona squad has made the team stronger than ever. If Barcelona insists on bringing Messi back to Camp Nou it won't have much impact on the team because Messi can't play like he used to anymore. Now Messi can only use his experience and the remnants of his energy to help the team he is defending.
Messi can not be separated from Barcelona because of his brilliant achievements at the time in Barcelona uniform. It's something that can't be denied, it's just that now many are comparing it. Even when Barcelona is down, Messi's name is always a conversation. This is not good for Barcelona, because if it continues then there will be no progress. I hope those who always talk about Messi move on and have more faith in Barcelona now. Messi and Barcelona have a strong history and connection, it was so sad to see both parties separated due to financial issues which forced the club to do an overhaul of the heavy wage players which Messi unfortunately happens to fall under this category. Xavi has said before that he wants Messi in his team, there is a possibility Messi could return to the club and end his career with the club. it doesn't sound too crazy for Messi to move back and end his career in Barcelona, sounds about right, he's getting a little old, he won a lot of balloon dors, he won leagues and champions league, he Copa America with Argentina, he broke multiple records, World cup is the only one left and no way he'll be playing after 4 years from now, it is very likely that he could play another season next year and move to Barcelona and retire there. |

I believe everybody has their worst day in gambling especially if you started gambling early maybe in your teenage age. My worst day was when I used my school fees to gamble because I thought I will make more money to take care of some of my needs in school. At the beginning I was making profit for 2hrs,I was carried away with the anxiety of winning but later the game turned round and I was losing and losing,I didn't quit hoping I will recover my lost. Before I knew it I was left with 10% of the money I started with, I couldn't just quit the game then because I still feel I will start winning again but luck failed me and I got drained of all I have on me.
Two weeks later it was announced in school that we only had one more week left for closure of school fees payment, I tried borrowing, seek for help everywhere but nobody could help me with the money. This was how I couldn't pay my fee for that semester and went home with carry overs after the end of the semester as I was not allowed to write some exams.
How about you do you had a worst day on gambling that you will never forget ?Did it affect an aspect of your life and how ?
I hope you learned the lesson and so is people reading about your story, gambling is no joke, even mature grown-ups can't control it, so of course a teenager can make even crazier things, for me it wasn't just a bad day in gambling, it was a whole run of more than 2 years, all I can say is I'm not proud of my run in gambling, I didn't lose a lot but gambling is never something to be proud of even if you win. |

I think the chances of Manchester United being able to shift the rankings of tottenham or manchester city in the standings, are very small. besides that MU's performance is still not stable even though they performed well against the sheriffs in the european league. talk about who deserves to be the EPL champion this season, of course man city is the most deserving, they bought the right striker (haaland) who is hungry for goals.
Manchester City have got very good attacking players so they should be able to get a win easily, but it will be difficult to happen when they can't work as a team because real attackers need good ball support so as a striker they can execute well. we've seen man city draw against a team like Aston Villa, so it won't be surprising to see another one against Man Utd, the bookmakers are favoring Man City a lot but I hope we can see a good classic derby between them with goals from both sides. |

Bayern Munich's fall is surely good news for many clubs and their fans but still we need some improvement in quality
which fall, they had few games without win in Bundesliga, but won over Barcelona in CL they will overcome Union and Freiburg during season, I cannot see any of them holding up in second part of the season, next year in Spring, and Bayern will make ten-in-a-row winning strike to secure title, as easy as every season with all said, I hope to see different outcome, and Bayern without title we all want to see a different outcome except for Bayern Munich fans, a league with no challenges for the team in the first place is a dead league just like in France with ligue 1 and PSG, we want to see some crazy drama and last minute goals. |

Allegri is currently close to the point of being sacked by Juventus, the team is currently in a bad condition and failing to win games. I expected Juventus to come back stronger this season to reclaim their place as the dominant team in the seria A, something needs to be done quickly, Allegri has to work the team to improvement and back to winning ways or risk losing his job which already Juventus are discussing with some candidates to take up the job if this happens.
Allegri has failed to improve Juventus performance, he even made Juventus weaker. It is enough to keep him as Juventus coach, he must be fired as soon as possible. Look at the position of Juventus in Serie A table, Juventus is only in 8th place. Juventus also never won in the last 3 matches, it is shame. Juventus management must try to sign a new coach immediately. According to some candidates, Conte and Gasperini are the best options. Since Conte seems difficult to sign, Gasperini should be the ideal coach to replace Allegri. https://football-italia.net/conte-or-gasperini-who-is-juventus-ideal-replacement-for-allegri/ to be honest, both are looking better right now than Allegri, the fans are of Juventus can't wait to see him leave and they probably wouldn't even care that much about who's replacing him, the results of Juventus and performance are far from being champions worthy. |
