It's not that easy process though, just like what happened to Ben Simmons. It will take a lot for the Sixers or to the team that will get Harden. So far his preference team of Clippers doesn't want to sacrifice their players just to get Harden.

So they are not in a hurry, and I think it Harden is going to be traded, he might not land on Clippers itself.

Or they need to involved another team in the process to get it done.
I do agree that it is not going to be easy to trade Harden because they are not going to be like his previous teams where he pushed his teams to trade him, I think it should be something a lot more important and considering Sixers got him to go for that title, it would be silly for them to trade him for anyone that would be not so helpful for a title run, and I think picks would be even worse because you would have to wait around again.

The trust the process era was promised to happen for a title, and now that they already built a team, if they go back to rebuilding then all that period happened for no good reason and the fans will be pissed without a doubt. I think it would be smarter to just keep him and try to mend the relationship.

It will definitely be quite interesting if Osimhen can make it to the Premier League next season, because the meeting of the best players in different teams will always provide interesting matches in the Premier League. But for now everyone needs to see Osimhen's own attitude and decisions regarding his future, because this season he also has to continue playing as well as possible at Napoli before the player transfer schedule opens again at the start of next year.
Napoli was a much stronger team with Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and especially when Luciano Spalletti was working in this team they were in the good form and this team even won the title in Serie A. But I think Napoli is losing power time after time, first Spalletti left Napoli and now Osimhen is the next effective person who is about to leave the team.  
Now that there is a possibility they are going to be forced to sell Osimhen as well, I think they are going to be very upset that they ended up with firing their manager. They were so much better and look at how much worse they are right now, don't get me wrong it's not about having a worse manager, it's just that some managers click with the team better. A better manager with horrible chemistry with the team will get worse results than a worse manager that has amazing chemistry with the team, and that is maybe the reason they got worse this year, or maybe the manager is just straight up worse I do not know.

Financially they are in good position and after selling Osimhen and maybe who knows some other players, they will be even richer and they could try to get some more players and build the team once again, may take some time but since the new owners are quite good at building a team, I am guessing that the yare going to be able to do it very well.

if it can place orders, it can also easily steal funds from the account. How? All the attacker needs is to convince a few people to give their api keys that have some capital behind them, then buy some low-liquid altcoin and then use the low-liquid currency pair to carry out the attack. How? by ordering all accounts to buy this altcoin at one time and setting his account to sell. For example 100k $ is enough to create x3000 flash pump on THETA/BNB trading pair.

The attacker buys THETA for $3,000 and sells it for $1 million, while stealing $1.1 million from the attacked accounts.

I've seen something like this several times, and the most popular case was a few years ago on the VIA altcoin.
https://medium.com/chainreport/binance-phishing-attack-creates-api-pump-f4ef2160f3ea
This is exactly what they do, if you reach to a point where you can control hundreds of thousands of dollars via your bot, that means you could buy something with all the money that you made from this when the time comes, and then you are going to end up telling all the bots to buy something you already bought, then sell at the top, and tell the bot to sell it for everyone, if not enough people get out, you can keep repeating it multiple times since it is quite fast and before the people reach and stop and before the exchange stops you would be able to make it go up and down while buying at the bottom and selling at the peak with the power you have.

Not that I am saying these guys are doing it, but I am just agreeing that its possible.

I will react if that will be the same performance during the regular season. I think they are just letting him to find his comfort zone,
Giannis and the rest of the squad will be there for him.

With the same goal, winning the title, bringing Dame in hope that they will be more competitive. This coming is really expected by the fans.

We never know what will be the strategy here. They just go for whatever will be the outcome during this pre-season and will be back
strong when the regular season begins.
I agree that Dame will do a lot better during the regular season when he spends more time with the team. Remember, this guy has played for Blazers for the past 100 years, so there was a lot of games drawn for him, players knew where to be and many other things that perfected his game, now he is in a new team and nobody really knows him and he is not doing all the superstar stuff that he used to do, he could be doing it if given the chance, but they have Giannis too so the game stops a bit.

I believe that with more time during the regular season and them playing, we are going to end up with a better result without a doubt. I think as long as we end up with something that is better, that should not be an issue for them at all and could do wonders.

AS Roma have started on the wrong foot this season, 3W 2D 3L is really a poor start for them but they are quite doing an exceptional work in Europa League. That's specifically what's triggering the team's level of football and will continue to grow. José Mourinho is a genius and have saved his position as headcoach countless times. AS Roma respects him because he has worked extremely hard to earn it. Winning the Europa Conference League title with Roma and earning them accumulative points in Seria A despite the tough competition among elite teams.
Roma did start the season quite badly. But slowly now they have improved. And in the last 3 matches, AS Roma also won everything. And in the European League, Roma has not yet lost. So for me Mourinho is still very worthy of being kept. Because after all, AS Roma didn't buy many expensive players in the transfer market yesterday. And Mourinho just maximizes every player the squad has. Lukaku's arrival to the team has had a positive impact and it looks like Roma will indeed get better from now on. It's okay to start badly as long as you can end the season well.
I think they just had a bad start because they were quite upset about last season and that is understandable but they are getting to build up the team morale back again and the chemistry back again, plus they played up until the very last day, everyone was playing at all times, they must have taken some serious vacation to get better and that may have caused a lot of people to end up with a bad result.

I think it should be something that would take a bit of time and could get a little longer than they expected it but it finally clicked back again. Roma is managed by Mourinho, one of the all time best managers we know, and that means the yare lucky to have him and he will not let the team have a terrible season, he will do his very best to take the team as high as he possibly could. This could cause the team to have some bad periods but overall the end result of the season should be a fine one that they could enjoy without a trouble.
666  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Lady Cried After Losing to Sports Bet. Gambling is Not Your Mate. on: October 18, 2023, 05:25:25 PM
This is how she deal with losses, and it's not a bad thing though since this also serve as an awareness for other gamblers on what can happen if you use your money in gambling. Her money won't come back even after crying but if this can somehow help her accept the reality then let her be.

Anyway, just a perfect example of don't use the money that you can't afford to lose and clearly this is the case for this woman. She made a mistake, but at least she learned a lesson that gambling is not for people who can't accept losses. If the result of her bet turned the other way, for sure she will continue what she used to.
She should not show her sadness due to her loss at gambling and instead, keep it to herself and realize her mistake and not repeat it. But maybe showing her sadness to the public could show that she was truly sorry about everything and warn everyone she knew not to gamble or they would suffer the same fate.

Yes, that is an example of not using much money to gamble, especially when they cannot afford to see the loss later. And those of us who may still frequently gamble must be able to learn from what has happened to us so that it doesn't happen to us. And we also have to remember to always use the money we can afford to gamble.
Isn't that the story of sore losers. I mean we have seen a ton of people in our life that lost something because of their own mistakes and instead of learning from it as a response, they end up crying about it. I have seen even people who cheated their spouse and then cry about being divorced, dude you shouldn't have cheated then, not like this was a shocking response to it, you made it yourself.

I believe that we are going to end up with a lot of people who lose at gambling and cry over it, this lady wasn't the last one and I am guessing that it wasn't the first one neither, it's just the way some people are. I have lost and cried before as well, to be fair I was in my room all alone, but I did, nothing like big scene type, just some drops from my eye type, because I was scared and made a stupid childish mistake of losing a lot of money that I shouldn't have, but I learned from it and never made that mistake ever again in my life at all.

I don't think YouTuber upload their technical video on their channel based on true experience in their trading, some of them want to get benefit with higher traffic with viewer without have accurate or good trading technical. Learning with trading trough video is easily for understanding than have read a book but not all YouTuber of cryptocurrency understand well with their video upload in their channel. Some of YouTuber as influencer without have knowledge with cryptocurrency and many of them get commission fees when uploading new video exactly recommended with some coins have to invest.

 I don't interested for learning more with YouTuber when uploading their video technical trading because not always bitcoin and altcoin price depend with their research, many time whale have more dominance to see bitcoin or altcoin in lower and higher price.
If they don't have a good experience in trading, how can they gain a subscriber and a viewer? Ah, maybe they get lucky at first but people will always find out the truth later on. There are still legit YouTubers out there who only post genuine content. If only they can follow it, they will only get a consistent engagement. It's important to know that predicting the market accurately is hard so a good trader can also make a mistake.

This is the tricky part here because we may tag them as fraud. We need to be careful and analyze them well because I'm sure there are evidences that can differentiate a fraud from the legit ones. Whale can shake the market effectively but I don't think they will let the public know early about their plans. We must also be careful on those who present themselves as a whale or had a connection to it because they are likely a scam.
668  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 17, 2023, 07:45:30 PM
I personally feel that Madrid will still not underestimate Sevilla in this match. Even though Sevilla's condition is quite bad, that doesn't mean Ancelotti will be careless in implementing the formation. 3 points can be achieved, but Sevilla will play at home which is a plus point and try to improve its poor performance.
Playing at home will not guarantee that Sevilla can beat Real Madrid and maybe Sevilla must be prepared to accept the fact that Real Madrid has been impressive so far. In terms of squad depth, it is clear that there is a huge difference and Real Madrid seems to have no gaps that could allow them to lose.

Maybe Sevilla can beat Real Madrid if they succeed in pressing and continuously attacking. But attacking continuously is not a good option and Real Madrid with its counter attack could destroy Sevilla within 90 minutes. The safe bet is of course on Real Madrid and I would bet on Real Madrid without the slightest doubt.
I do believe that Real will have some hard time not because they will play badly but because the yare not going to be ready to play at 100% right away. They still do not have a proper striker and we have seen how troublesome that could be. Hell Jude had to score a bunch of goals because there were no strikers where striker should be, and it's mocked that he scores easy goals like tapping the ball in and nothing more, but that positioning is the most important thing for a striker not a midfielder and he is doing something amazing.

If a midfielder is at a place where all he has to do is touch the ball and he scores, isn't that also amazing? I mean if it was just a few ones then I would understand but he scored as much as Ronaldo scored in his early games, that means he is doing something right and we should not be judging his goals. I believe they need a striker that can do that and lift some pressure above from Jude and try to score himself, that would be a lot more help.
669  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers on: October 17, 2023, 05:06:54 PM
Ronaldo has so far scored 9 goals in the qualifiers. And Portugal has won all 8 of their matches in EURO qualifiers till now. This is some sort of superhuman effort from them. BTW, they should consider themselves lucky, as they were included in a weak group where the other teams are Slovakia, Luxembourg, Iceland and Bosnia and Herzegovina. And their next match is against the weakest team in the group - Liechtenstein. Last time when these two teams played against each other, Portugal won the match by a margin of 4-0.   
Scoring 9 goals so far for a player who is already 38 is impossible but that is not the case for Ronaldo. Portugal's big win against Bosnia last night solidified the winstreak they achieved in the Euro 2024 qualifying event and we can't wait to see who Portugal will be in the next round after they are confirmed to have passed the group phase.

Being in a group filled with many weak teams certainly benefits Portugal and at least they don't make fatal mistakes and continue to maintain their consistency. Liechtenstein will be the next goal for Portugal and from here we can see if Ronaldo will score another goal. At least scoring a brace will put him at the top of the temporary top scorer list because the first position is still filled by Romelu Lukaku with 10 goals.
Well, I believe that he is one of the best that ever played the game, so it is not really a shocker when you think that its Ronaldo. I am not one of those people who says Ronaldo is great and Messi sucks, or Messi is great and Ronaldo sucks, I believe that the yare the best two ever to play this game and to see Ronaldo doing this is no surprise to me.

Obviously him moving to striker helped a ton, at the start of his career he wasn't a striker, he was more midfield/winger type of player and the more he played the more he moved to striker at around 35 and later, which allowed him to keep on scoring like crazy and I am sensing that he is going to keep being this good for a few more years. I wouldn't expect that much after 40, but I bet he has enough until next world cup.
670  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: October 17, 2023, 11:21:30 AM
Gambling is a place to spend money, although many gamblers consider casinos to be a place to earn money. But in reality, more gamblers lose their money at casinos or gambling sites. So I think all of us here probably have almost the same experience, namely losing a lot of money gambling

I also lost money because I lost on gambling, but maybe not that much. But I know there are people who spend a lot of money for gambling. In your opinion, what should we do if we have lost a lot of money on gambling? Do we keep gambling to win so we can cover up previous losses? or stop and work normally and leave gambling? Or do you have other suggestions?
The weirdest thing about not being able to stop is the fact that people are fine with losing their money even more. I mean think about it, you do "something", you lose money, would you continue to keep doing that thing normally? I mean not a lot of people would do that if it is not giving you a return, not many things in life makes you constantly lose money the more you do it, you may pay once for some stuff, but not constantly do more, and have a chance to lose as much as your home if you do not stop.

But when it's gambling, people end up keep doing it more and more and have hard time stopping, that feels weird. I personally would say just have someone else watch over your gambling budget if you can't do it yourself.
671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: October 17, 2023, 06:59:06 AM
Maybe you are right that some big clubs do not prioritize the European League. Especially if they have a good opportunity to top the standings in their Local League. Like what happened to Arsenal last season. The priority here does not mean they don't want to win. But usually they don't take too many risks by limiting the playing time of the club's core players. So we often see second tier players playing in the European League. And several core players who usually appear 90 minutes in the Local League but then only play in the first half in the European League.
I don't think so. People shall not forge that if winning europa league will give a way for the club to be qualified for UCL without even needed to finish at the top 4 of domestic league. That's the reason why so many clubs are still ambitious in winning this trophy.
Even though the prize is quite small compared with UCL but the UCL spot has become the main target owned by the team to aim for the europa league trophy. People were too underestimate this trophy at this moment just because europa league was offering cheap prize.
Liverpool aims to win this trophy cuased by the club is aiming to play in UCL again upcoming season. The UCL spot makes this trophy really important for any club these days.
I don't know why some people were not even valuing this trophy. Do they only see that from the prize offered by UCL compared with europa league?
I believe that you could also be a team outside of those big leagues and could still potentially win it, which should be important. I am not saying that a team outside of top 10 leagues could win it, but it is not impossible neither, if that happens they are going to end up winning a lot of money for them, and also they will be at UCL as well, and that should be great. Remember, not all leagues send 4 teams to UCL, some leagues send 2 or even as little as 1 team, and some even send one team only after they play some elimination games as well.

So all in all I would say that winning europa is more important than winning UCL because we all know there are few clubs who could do that, but many teams could do this. Even conference league became important because of this.

Avoiding a gambler friend after a big win doesn't look like a bad thing to me, the person who follows such aware of the outcomes if he tries to make a fortune with the money he won, so he probably settled to do other things than just gambling, probably clear the loan or thinking of investing them in the best possible way.

If you are on the receiving end, it may look like the person tore his mask mask but also think from the other perspective and come to a conclusion before judging anyone.
I agree with you if you didn't include the word " friend ". So for me, I also see it wrong. I can relate to this as I have friends like this who I won't see when they have something but they approach me if they have nothing. It is very annoying. They are lucky that I didn't confront their behaviors but I never let them abuse me anymore.

If the gambling friends are those people whom we only meet in the casino, and our places are far away from each other, they shouldn't feel bad and think their friend are avoiding them but it was only the gambling is the ones that he avoid. We don't know the reasons but he might be doing those examples you mentioned. There is still a chance for him to play again soon.
673  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: While Hodling, Don't under estimate the importance of selling. on: October 16, 2023, 06:15:02 PM
When you buy altcoins, the most important thing is when to buy and not when to sell. Always try to buy at the bottom and not at the candle or the green candle. If the candle is red and the price stabilizes and you search for the project and find that it is worth investing in, then it is the right moment to buy, and when the price returns to normal, sell. Get your capital back and continue doing so for long periods until you achieve reasonable profits. If the price rises insanely, sell all at once.
this is difference from bitcoin when you can make profits at buying or selling
Or you can instead say : > " when investing " . It's true because what are we going to sell if we didn't start with buying first? Selling is only easy but getting started about what investment asset is great is still tricky. Another thing is going for a better value because we don't have an idea if the price can still dump more or not. You mentioned the word " Candle " there.

I think that is more in trading already but that was true. Even though a small increase can matter a lot already for them. But for the investors, a small increase in the price can still be a good entry and better than being too much late, as long as we are selling it at a much higher price.
674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 15, 2023, 08:14:29 PM
Wemby is currently an asset for the Spurs, but they had a rough last season, so they're eager to come back strong. Injuries are unfortunately a part of the game, and you need some luck to avoid them. Wemby is a big guy, and it seems like big men, when they get injured, tend to have a tougher time coming back quickly. Sometimes, they even need an entire season to heal, just like Davis, or Chet, who missed the entire season when he got injured during a preseason game, if I recall correctly.

Let's cross our fingers that Wemby stays injury-free because injuries can really dampen the excitement and fan expectations. Even though the NBA remains entertaining, it's a different kind of entertainment when all the teams with superstars are healthy and competing throughout the season.
Honestly expecting Spurs to be great on year one is delusional. Sure Wemby is a generational talent and there is nothing wrong about expecting to do a lot better, but they have basically nobody else at this point. Look at their roster, it is as open as it gets and I would change everyone aside from Wemby if given the chance. They are not that type of team neither, not like they are known to get greater with trades and free agents, not an amazing destination to live neither, and small market as well.

So, I am assuming that, they are going to be a little different. Look at Dallas, they got Doncic, near MVP level player for years, and they still haven't been good just yet, they might, but not yet. Wemby is like that too, they may need some time, hell Jokic and Giannis took so long to get their title as well. So do not expect them to suddenly be great, that's not going to happen, we are going to see them get better, but not right away and not a lot.

finding the best oportunity is all about patient and emotion control a trader cant succeed without these two, even more so those newbies that are still kinda greedy when it comes to making decision.
many thought its simple thing, everyone can become millionaire from trading, they don't know that its those big capital owner that make profit usually.
if there is any trader that become millionaire its because their discipline that is enormous as well as their capability of analyzing.
its not just putting order and gain profit, thats such massive understatement and minsunderstanding.
I wouldn't go that far thinking that I'll be one of those millionaires. I'm not just as good as they are but it's true that it's like the opportunity is endless in trading when you know how it works. I'm not belittling myself as I am also aiming that but not through trading but through investing in Bitcoin.
There's a similarity but trading is more active than holding and investing and that's why I'm moving forward to that as both of them requires a lot of patience.
I would say that you shouldn't be considering yourself so short, you should be able to do it if you are giving it enough time and I bet that we are all capable of it. The only thing that is required for something like this would be spending some time learning and then giving it some time to reach there. I personally do not believe that we are going to end up with some trouble and shouldn't be an issue.

I think the best thing to do in this regard would be making sure that we are going to end up with a return that would be smarter to handle. I get that life is not that easy and giving it some time means that you are going to work a lot for many years, maybe even decades and not a lot of people want to do it, but just because we can't wait for it and work that hard for it, doesn't mean that we can't do it. Those are different things, I bet that you can do it, you have nothing short of what others who have done it has. You should be able to do it as well.

If City could win the Champions League again this season it would be a great achievement and I'm sure Guardiola would really like to achieve this goal. But it’s not so easy to do, I see how strong Real is now, I think that if the lot allows this to happen, then Real can meet City in the final and it would be a great final. As for Bayern, Arsenal, Barcelona and other teams, they all have weaknesses that I think will not allow them to reach the final, although the example of Inter in the last final shows that sometimes a luck can allow not the strongest team to reach the final (but Inter were good).
City will become the second team to win back to back UCL trophy after real madrid which was winning UCL three times in a row. it's likely manchester city really needed to have some key players like rodri and de bruyne to win UCL again.
Manchester city can't do that without them all caused by they were the brain of manchester city gameplay. losing them all was giving disastrous performance for manchester city at this moment.
City needs to have its key players back again before it will able to win UCL. City will not able to win UCL again withhout them all.
I mean it is obvious that they need Kevin De Bruyne back, that would be the best case scenario for them, but without him I am not entirely sure if they will be able to win it. Not like there are that many teams doing great this season, but still without KDB they are not as good. That dude is the engine of their car, sure other parts matter too but the engine is the most important part and they should be looking for him one way or another.

I think the best thing to do in this case would be making sure that they are doing fine, and that would only happen with some sort of difference on the long run. So either they will win it, or they are going to end up being unlucky with their injuries and such which will result with them losing.

I do not how much of it, but obviously it is more narcissism than any president of the United States is supposed to have, so they can direct their republic to a good future.

If you asked me, Trump with his peace-making speech is not only trying to appeal to people living in other countries or leaders of other nations, the way he uses this speech is order to try tk convince those who are not in favor of using tax money to fund wars, while at home there are people do cannot afford to pay for shelter and suffer in the winters, or those who cannot afford some medicine to take care of themselves.

It is a left wing speech, but twisted to bring people to vote for a man who obviously has nothing to do with left wing policies. It is a good strategy, and will stay as an strategy, since it is obvious Trump won't use that funding to pay for medicine, though.
I dislike Trump as much as the next guy and I think Biden is a much better president and on top of that I think they both should not be the president and someone younger and more fierce should get the job.

However, even I have to admit that Trump was the most anti-war president they had in a long time, everyone else constantly attacked everywhere, even the Nobel Peace prize winner Obama (how the hell did that happened is still beyond me) was bombing kids in Afghanistan while making his speech, that is the corruption of the world, Biden bombed places in the first 100 days of his presidency, he was quick to trigger as well.

Trump is a terrible human, I would not want to be in the same room as him, and he makes me want to vomit whenever he speaks, he is definitely evil to the core, but one good quality about him is that he doesn't want war, and he tries to make peace and that is a VERY important thing in our world, that would definitely be helpful at this moment.

With hacks occurring more frequently these days, I would strongly emphasize the importance of security. Whether it's a decentralized exchange (DEX) or a centralized exchange (CEX), no one is immune. First, we witnessed the Mixin incident, and now it's Galxe. It's crucial for everyone to assess the security measures of any platform before entrusting their funds. We all bear the responsibility to conduct thorough research before investing our hard-earned money
Let's not say "nowhere" because that makes it sound like it would be impossible to make any type of money and I do not mean that, I think there are few places that are safe. But, the real trouble is you do not know which ones are the safe ones until it gets tested and if you are right then you will not have any trouble, if you are wrong then you will face some trouble.

For example not a lot of people knew that FTX would crash before it crashed, they learned it wasn't a safe place after that it was hacked or bankrupted or whatever happened to it. It doesn't even have to be companies, coins are the same way as well, look at what happened to Luna, do you really think that people knew what happened was a possibility before it happened?

I would disagree though, if ever they will have a good shot, it could be this year as they revamp the team and now they have a good shooter from outside in Prince. Of course it will rest on the shoulder of Lebron, but we haven't seen him slowing down, and so I doubt that he will suddenly gets old this season and no longer in his prime.

Anthony Davis looks good in their pre-season game against the Warriors. Although we can't just judge him by a game and it's only pre-season. But it seems that the Lakers is so confident with their current lineup that they might exceed our expectations for them this season.
I do agree with that, people who talk about his age do not really talk about the real problem which is his defense, he is not defending as well as he used to and I can understand that, back when they won the title during the bubble season, Lebron played amazing defense and the whole team did, that made them win it, looking at Lakers roster right now, there are few defenders but the team as a whole do not look like a good defending team and that could be an issue.

They need to score a lot and outscore the opponent, and that has never worked in anyone's favor, you could do that but you need size and speed to defend very well to make sure things go well for you. With players like Reaves which is open buckets for the other team, focusing just scoring and offensive talents of a player doesn't end up that good.

Everton is in a real danger of relegation during this season and surely with such form they do not stand a chance to hold back Liverpool.It is in such games against weak opponents that the Premier League title is won or lost as we saw last year Arsenal losing the title by leaving points against such teams and because of this I think that Liverpool will not underestimate their opponents and be able to win this game.

Arsenal did beat City and in the direct clash they have an advantage so far but they should not repeat the same mistake as last year when they lost the title by losing points against weaker teams.
Every constant position and action have changed this season, there's alot to watch because average and elite teams portrayed their very best performance this season. Last season, they suffered and had a narrow escape sitting 17th position. Everton stats this season, 2W 1D 5L which happens to be one of their poorest start this season. The Toffees headcoach, Sean Dyche would implement more golden opportunities inother to secure an important spot on EPL table. This new week, they will face Liverpool and we hope for the very best for an average team like the Everton.
I agree that it is not as easy as previous years and there are few teams that are doing way better than people expected. Spurs are leading the league unexpectedly, City near the top as expected, Arsenal as well, but Liverpool not doing that badly and close by as well,  these are all important.

Sure, people expected a lot more from United and Newcastle and Chelsea, those three were the disappointments of the season so far and I am expecting them to do a bit better after the national break and get some good results but that doesn't mean that we are going to get them to play better that easily. They are getting closer, were even worse, but I still think that there needs to be something bigger changing for them to have good results by the end.
