661  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you be worried or comfortable seeing your elderly mother gambling? on: January 08, 2024, 09:45:23 AM
A woman (elderly) was spotted in a gambling shop seriously making predictions on virtual gaming and with the way she plays it appears that she has been gambling for a long time now. But what really caught people's attention after spending much time gambling for that day  was her reaction which expresses frustration and disappointment from someone that must have lost a pool of cash to unfavourable gambling prediction's for the day. The image below says it all.

This specific image led some Nigerians to ponder why an elderly woman would engage in betting. Questions arose, with some wondering whether the woman aimed to elevate her blood pressure or if she had used shared contributions for virtual betting.

There are places where it's  normal and a regular thing seeing elderly women gambling in a gamble shop but in this part of the world it is uncommon and for that it seems weird seeing such an elderly woman seriously gambling and that's why many persons are pondering about her engagement in betting.

However, I want to know as forum members from different parts of the world your thought's towards this based on your environmental perspective towards gambling irrespective of whosoever is involved be it young or elderly in as much as the individual is of gambling age.

Lastly, will you feel comfortable or worried knowing that your mother is a dedicated gambler; and if you feel worried are you worried that she may be losing a pool of cash or your worried because you fear for her health as gamblers can get negative emotions when losing money.

Going by your words "dedicated gambler", nobody would want such thing for their mother, I can agree or give my support to my mother if she gambles seasonally, but wanting to dedicated her entire time into gambling is a NO NO for me. Gambling is for both genders, I've seen some ladies that are good predictors, and they leave a very mentally stable lifestyle with everyone Around them, so apparently I will give my support to my mother if she gambles responsibly.

Newcastle had a nightmare in the middle of the season. The injury crisis faced by them has really become an obstacle and this is what causes their performance to decline drastically. The victory over Sunderland means a lot for Newcastle. Indeed, this is not a Premier League match but at least it could boost their morale and it can be motivation to be better, but once again, they will face another tough test, where they have to play against Man City.
The victory over Sunderland means a lot for the morale of Newcastle players following the tough match against Manchester City next weekend. This is Newcastle's first win in their last 5 matches in all competitions, but Sunderland is basically not a benchmark that Newcastle's form has returned.

Currently Manchester City has found its best form again after losing points against Aston Villa and being forced to draw against Crystal Palace. Manchester City also recently won the Club World Cup title against Fluminense, so player morale and motivation should be improving ahead of the away game against Newcastle. But before that, Manchester City must complete the FA Cup third round match against Huddersfield at the Etihad, a home win is mandatory for them.
Injury scare is one of the biggest issue today in world football, Newcastle united is not the only club to suffer from this menace but they have to learn to adapt to the status quo and also profer a lasting solution to their problems and also try and participate actively in January transfer window so that they block all the loop holes so as to start getting back to where they were before they were hardly hit by this injury worries this season. Newcastle United had a very interesting spell last season that saw them qualify for the uefa champions League last season alongside Manchester United, arsenal and Manchester City but they failed to qualify for the next round after a disappointing campaign which saw them ousted out the competition but as it, they are far from repeating that feat due to their sudden decline this season as a result of injury worries, though they look as if they can get back to winning ways before the end of the season.
663  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Neo-colonialism: Is Nigeria Still Under British Rule? on: January 06, 2024, 06:19:18 PM
The answer to the topic of discussion is "YES" . Nigeria is not only under the British rule but, we are under the rule of the first and second world powers.

Neo-colonialism is a concept of governance or principle that  stipulates and promote an indirect capturing and domination of the processes of governance and economy of former colonial territories or states.

Neo-colonialism is mostly an economic domination of formerly colonized areas by their former colonial masters through modern means of economics.

Imperialism and Neo-colonialism started it's foundation in Nigeria as the former Royal Niger Company. The company had the authority of the royal seal to extract and export the natural resources of Nigeria to England for the advancement of their economy and industrial productions.

The system of governance adopted our traditional institution on two grounds 1. For language interpretation and 2. Resistance by the people. This whole adoption was for administrative convinence band elimination of resistance.

The native people became part of the exploitation process of themselves and their generations which we are seeing today. The introduction of the traditional institution into the process for the British government to rule the people through the chiefs and kings, the process provided,  An elite class that  became marchants  through incorporation into this evil of exploitation.

And after the gain of independence, the Nigerian state is still exploited through multinational corporations and companies Like Shell and Chevron, where our people are kept at the levels of artisans and administrators while , they bring their people as technical expartes.

In most cases like the days of colonialism, our people are kept as administrative heads in supporting the transfer of our resources to Europe and America for processing and reintroduction into Nigeria as finished goods.

The end tale of this arrangement is that, Nigeria becomes the source of their raw materials and their market. With this pattern, Nigerians are used to kill the idea of indigenization, production and distribution to show their loyalty to the western imperialist and to keep their administrative positions in those companies.

We must liberate ourselves through enlightenment. Your contributions please.
Neo-colonialism and imperialism by kwame Nkrumah was one of the books that expose some of these pre-colonial and post colonial economic dominance, but personally I will like to disagree with some of these postulations because in the present economic and political governance of the Nigerian state, we can see that the direct policies of government are made by indigenous leaders of the Nigerian state, these present policies that are made, gives a direct economic effect of Nigeria at the moment. Of course everybody will have a history some of the realities of the past, some can be cruel and some can be brutal, but in all it points to the fact that we were coming from somewhere,  we where exploited at one point no doubt, one thing is you should understand is the fact that some of this dominance are pre-colonial and in this post colonial era, the effect of government policies is carried by leaders of the moment, so I absorb the colonial masters of the present economic or social political crisis that is bedeviling the Nigerian state.
Those of them at helm's of affairs should start making policies and programs that will better the lots of their people, policies that are geared towards human development and economic Sustainability, and you will see that some of this memories that we have about pre-colonial events will begin to fizzle out and remain as history.  We are not the only country in the world that where colonized by the British, there are lots and lots of countries that were colonized by British and have moved on and developed themselves in an advance manner.
664  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We dont own enough bitcoin on: January 05, 2024, 09:37:24 PM
The thought and belief of not having enough of something brings forth the constant pursuit of that object. Thus, acting as if we never have enough of a resource will allow us cognitively to always be looking to acquire said resource and then eventually this will lead to a surplus, right? Gosh I hope so! Becuase I sure need to get more BTC and I don't have enough!!!

I was just watching a youtube from KITCO NEWs with Gary Cardone. Thats right, Gary Cardone NOT his asshole brother Grant Cardone LMAO!!!! Gary had a lot of great things to say that were extremely logical and bullish. I'll put the link in here later.

If we have this mindset then we will always be trying to get as much of it as we can. Lets face it, getting BTC is at this point more rewarding for the average person than buying Real Estate, Gold, Silver, Oil stock, etc. Lets keep stacking! I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH!!! STACK SATS!!

Having bitcoin at this point is very important no doubt because the bull run is around the corner, but one thing you should understand is the fact that even if you don't have too much resources to get as much of Bitcoin you want, you can use the small resource you have  to get the the little you can, little by little you can grow the amount you've gotten but having it in mind that you want to get a good number when you know you don't have much resource will be very difficult, so stack the little you have and grow it.

We now live in a world where we are busy making money and making ends meet. We have to in order to survive. The competition is so high that sometimes we lose ourselves in that process. We are busy making a successful life so that no one related to us won't suffer. Having a decent bank balance, having a property or having a car. Working to the extreme to make that dream come true.

But in that process, are we giving enough attention to our surroundings? People close to us or our loved ones, are we giving enough time to them? When we are gone, what will they say about us? Or even if someone left us forever, will we have enough memory to remember them?

Earning money and being successful is important in life. But never forget who you are and the people around you. Money is not everything. It is important to survive but make sure to take some time to bond with people around you. It will also help reduce the anxiety or stress that you are having because of all that work.

Trust the process, you will be successful one day for sure. But never lose your own soul in that process.

The survival of the human  race from time memorial has not been an easy one, people strive day in day out to foot their bills, because if you don't foot your bills, nobody will do that for you and that is the reality of the Human nature and is surprising that in all the creatures of God is only human being that needs money to survive and in the quest of having that money they work everyday to earn every dime, that is why we always end up apologizing to our loved ones for not having or spending time will them mostly because they have to understand that we have to earn to make a living.

I am a newbie (Beginner) on this forum...

Surprisingly Roll Eyes, anytime I mention newbie, I get attacked like Newbies are scums and shouldn't be here in the first place....

I got frustrated at first from the kind of responses on my post and I took a break from the site, after all I am not unemployed.... I have a seven digit paying Job I love so much...

The reason I am on this forum is passive, though I want to learn more about Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency.

Consequently, along the line I understood that commenting and attacking people's posts on this platform is part of the reason some people grow faster here.

I gradually understood that the dynamics of this forum is that it's compulsory for members to post something daily and what you post do not have to consider what/how others feel about what is said to them.... Some Members just want to have points and remain active on the forum...

I wonder if the Professionals here weren't once newbies...

Nobody is an expert in life and on this forum.... The last time I asked, I was told that an a professional or an expert is someone who has learned less and less about more and more until he has known everything about nothing....

We are all here to learn and maybe earn along the way...

Stop the belittling of Newbies on this forum.

Make your points on people's posts constructively and with respect.
Going through your post I can deduce that you are getting some misconception about the forum, of course every professional was once a newbie, every professor was also once a student, I understand that maybe you've been talked down upon by some members, but believe me that is not the models operandi of this great forum, as most members are here to always give you a guideline once you ask the appropriate question on this forum, so if anybody might have attacked your comment don't take it to heart as that is human nature naturally for you, rather you should take a lift from those that have answered the question give asked appropriately.
667  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble on Bitcoin ETF approval results? on: January 05, 2024, 06:21:33 PM
A Polygon-based gambling site allows gamblers to gamble on the outcome of the spot Bitcoin ETF application by some investors. Gamblers are required to choose Yes” or “No” bets on whether the Bitcoin ETF applications will be approved or not. According to a report about $1.5 million worth of bets have been placed and bettors are patiently waiting for SEC's decision. From reports it seems that the majority of gamblers believe that the SEC will approve so the majority of them choose yes.

I know that there are diverse bets on unconventional events like Miss World, the US election and even wars. But this one is new and I just want to know if you will be comfortable betting on the spot Bitcoin ETF.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-etf-approval-results-gambling-reddit-community
I am surprised to this new betting pattern, first i am a traditional gambler, such kind of betting isn't too fine with me because I cannot ordinarily predict the outcome, this approval from SEC has been on their table for a very long time, I feel is another means to mount pressure on SEC to go on with the approval of spot Bitcoin ETF without hesitation. however brought up the concept has made some good moves because it's nice trying to see some people stick out their money in support of the ETF, because lots of people will bet in favour of the approval.
668  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I could have won bigger. on: January 04, 2024, 11:40:33 PM

Good day everyone,,, I would like to share my winning with you guys, but I am not just doing it because I won the bet, but it is because it wasn't the amount I wanted to stake that I staked.

A friend of mine collected $10 from me earlier yesterday and I wanted to use the money to gamble, but based on, he is my friend. I gave him the $10 he asked for, and the guy said he would return the $10 back ASAP after 3 hours, but he didn't and the $10 was the amount and same money I wanted to use and stake a bet (I have some coins but don't have cash and I don't want to sell any penny of my coins for any reason). But letter on, I used 1000 naira ($1) to stake the bet and I won 49,814 naira (about $50+).

Now I am angry at my friend because he didn't keep to his words. Although I am still happy about the win, I wish he had given me back the $10. Then, I would have win bigger money.
Don't be angry about your friend but rather you should be happy about the fact that you are able to win your prediction, looking at the games you predicted and the outcome I can really tell that you are a good predictor, using $1 to win $50 that's a good predicting outcome. Though you could have won more money if your friend had given you back the money you borrowed him, but then half bread they say is better than none.

From my own side I go talk say the two of them na actually prediction because even after you dn run analyses you no really dey sure of anything. I dn ask people wey dey into forex but some dey claim say e dey different. If you get idea about the two i go like know if anything really dey different for the two of them
It difficulty to separate their two, as the both of them are circled around prediction and statistics of possible outcome, forex has to do with the forex market and how you can buy or predict the flow of currency with different signals, however gambling is almost the same thing because it has to do with predictions too, and how good you are with your analysis of games, it can be either football, basketball, volleyball etc, prediction wise you can say they are the same but content wise, they are different, because forex has a different concept on how to approach it.
670  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: My advice concerning the new trend (No gree for anybody) on: January 04, 2024, 11:12:30 PM
This our country is a very funny one, we're starting our year with a slogan "No gree for anybody" and it trending everywhere on social media, it always cracks me up whenever I see a post or contents concerning it on the media, the one that amazes me most is someone's post on twitter saying " in 2024 if a job rejects your application, reject their rejection. Hold them for neck, No gree for anybody." And another person replied saying, "Dear Hr, thank you for the response, I could sense the empathy in the previous email. However I regret to inform you that I have reject your rejection. I will be present on the premises on the 9th of January to acquaint myself with the team. Best wishes, Adaeze" Lol. To be honest the fact that we picked this "No gree for anybody" and we're acting upon it gives me joy, the thing is "No gree for your self too" eh no get anything wey you no fit do so far life dey. Avoid procrastination, challenge yourself to do new things cause there's no limit to wetin you fit achieve.

 As the journey for the new year begins, never stop building towards your dream, try to set up goals for yourself and work hard enough to achieve them. Should there be any disappointments along the way, use them for a sturdier foundation. You are the only one who has to live your life, give yourself permission to live it for yourself and for the purpose God created for you, it would make you live a happy and fulfilled life, focus on your goals and try to ignore the rest, no gree make anybody distract you from your goals. The results you want dey the other side of your excuses, and I think the best way to create better future na to do your best for this very moment you dey alive and healthy. Don't forget, as you no gree for anybody, no gree for yourself too, challenge yourself to do better this year and things go fall in place.
Omo I feel say that slogan na just for grouse as I cannot find much meaning to it,  it's one of those social media trends that Nigerians always want to live up to, what's the content of no gree for anybody, trust me between now till the end of February, this slogan will just die a natural death as everybody will forget that it ever existed, because we will be too busy with our daily activities and personal challenges we will all face. Some of us no be Gen Z, way dey leave for the moment, as anything way dey trend them dey carry am for head.
671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The is always on gambling, never the individual. on: January 04, 2024, 06:09:32 PM
The other day someone was talking about how he hates gambling as it nearly ruined his life, and within my mind I was like, no it was not gambling that nearly ruined you it was actually you that tried to ruin your life and that's because you refused to gamble responsibly and discipline yourself by not been capable of differentiating money meant for gambling from money meant for other projects in your life.

Why do people blame gamble for their own act of irresponsibility. No one is talking about their own part in their story of bad experience's with gambling, all we get to hear is gambling is bad and a useless activity. Why?
Because a lot of people try to point at others for their own misconduct, nobody cajoled him to start playing gamble, so why the hate towards gambling. It is always said that gambling is for mature minds, just like you said OP, people should learn how to discipline their self when they are gambling, there should be money set aside for gambling and other contingencies as a person, don't put all your eggs in one basket and later blame gambling for your misfortune.

673  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 03, 2024, 01:12:17 PM
Ac Milan? We can all agree that AC Milan will win the game; Cagliari's performance is insufficient to consider them as a threat to Ac Milan. Ac is not playing in the Champions League this season; they were eliminated from the group stage and are now concentrating on the remaining league titles, such as the Italian Cup and the serie A. Given that Ac Milan is currently in third place in the league table, I believe they have a chance to perform well enough to qualify for the Champions League the following season.
It is only a match in Coppa Italia which is not too much important for AC Milan. By their failure in Champions League, AC Milan will have to focus on Serie A and they did not have too good performances that cause them to have an unsure position in Serie A. There are many clubs that compete with AC Milan for a position in top four and AC Milan will have to play rest matches in this season with full focus. If they are careless, risk to be kicked out of top four is not small.

Quote
The only thing I'm not sure Ac Milan can accomplish is win the serie A league. Ac Milan can't win it because some teams are more concerned with winning the trophy than with winning the league; teams like Inter Milan and Juventus, who are currently leading the league table, want to win the league title this season and have demonstrated through their performance that they can do so.
However, a winning in Coppa Italia is helpful to bring AC Milan back on positive track. It is so good to start a new year with a big winning that brings a lot of hope. I see AC Milan almost have no chance to compete for Scudetto because Inter Milan and Juventus are too strong and have good gaps on the table against AC Milan.
Ordinarily we all expect Milan to win this match but it wouldn't be without a fight from Cagliari, Cagliari is struggling this season and have not been performing well and might want to give Milan a run for their money in this match but Milan is a good side and have performed well this season however  Milan where able to trash them 4-1, though not as we all expect especially seeing how they couldn't make it to the next round of the champions league after a tough fight in their group fixtures against PSG, Newcastle and Dortmund but i think they are doing pretty well in the league and am sure they will end up in the champions league spot.
674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 03, 2024, 11:01:55 AM
West Ham United and Brighton shared a point as the match ended in a goalless draw. Brighton performed better and had opportunities to win the game. However, they lacked clinical finishing and couldn't break through the defense of the opposing team. It seemed like they were content with a draw at home. Currently sitting in 7th place, it's a decent position for them at this stage of the season!
I think Brighton cannot be satisfied with this match. Brighton this season is no longer as stable as last season. Brighton wants to win to defeat its direct competitor for tickets to the European Cup next season. In this match, they were the team that took the initiative. They were utterly proactive throughout the game, thanks to their mobility and chemistry between the lines. Brighton tried very hard. They took 17 shots at the opponent's goal but could not get a goal. Goal-scoring opportunities were continuously created, but Brighton's strikers squandered the opportunities. It must also be said that this was a match in which goalkeeper Alphonse Areola played excellently. This goalkeeper made 8 excellent saves, frustrating the away team's strikers. His tenacity helped West Ham stand firm.

I predict a draw for this match. So far the competition between the two teams has been quite even. but seeing Brighton's dominance in that match, they had a chance to win.
West Ham didn't attack much, but they used the right strategy to reduce the aggressiveness of the Brighton players. it was quite an effort to last the entire match. and they succeeded even though they had to settle for a draw. at least the two teams shared points and West Ham managed to maintain the points difference with Brighton
In fact, this draw is very profitable for Westham but not for Brighton, this draw is too negative for Brighton because they dominated this match, even though Westham in this match did not perform too well, this can be seen in fact they have better players. and didn't even have an injury crisis but their game didn't improve in this match.

This draw meant they failed to equal points with Westham and Brighton fell further behind, now three points behind. However, this draw was also quite entertaining for Brighton because they managed to get one point and shift Man United's position, which is currently in eighth place.
Before the start of the match it was highly anticipated that this match was gonna end in a draw as a result of the good form of both Brighton and westham united, for sometime now both teams have enjoyed some  streak of good form, winning both at home and away and at such i wasnt expecting either team to be victorious in this match, the david moyes side have great players so does the brighton side, they are both doing well in the league and in the europeans competion where they both made it to the next round by next month.
675  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 03, 2024, 10:47:50 AM
I also agree with what you said. Kane is a great striker. He has a very high goal scoring instinct. This has been proven by the fact that he has been one of the best top scorers in the English league several times. And because the level of competition in the EPL is different from the Bundesliga, of course I think Kane will shine more and dominate the Bundesliga. Currently, Kane has scored 21 goals and is the top scorer in the Bundesliga. I think he will continue to score goals and really be the Bundesliga's top scorer at the end of the season.

Harry Kane was a top striker with excellent scoring ability and was regarded as one of the best Premier League strikers at the time. His performance there, as well as being the Bundesliga's leading goal scorer, comes as no surprise to me. If you can shine in the Premier League and be rated as one of the best strikers at the time, you can go to any league in Europe and become their best striker because their competition is less competitive than that of the Premier League.

Harry Kane is 30 years old and still doing an excellent job, leading other younger strikers in the league, thanks to his previous experience in the Premier League and the new team he has joined, which has all the quality players required for a team to succeed. I am not surprised by Ronaldo, who continues to score like a young striker; this can be attributed to the intense competition he has faced in the Premier League and the second most competitive league, La Liga.
Harry kane is an exceptional striker who has already proven himself in the EPL back then when he  played for Tottenham Hotspur scoring lots of goal and also for the English national football team but one unique thing about Harry is his ability to adapt to a different league, team and country to the extent of being the league's top scorer in his very first season just like haaland did with Manchester city, this shows that Harry kane is a world class striker and he can play in any league in the world.

A gambling expert brought i and some friends a guaranteed predicted game and asked us to stake a a high amount so that we winning could be huge and so we can give him a percentage of the money at winning.

I don't believe there could be a 100% guaranteed game but yet my friends who are eager to make profits in the gambling accepted to play the gamed as instructed and at the end of it, they all loosed the game and at then, the rest of us were happy because we didn't play the game else we would had loosed as others.

I want to ask, do you believe in experts gambling predictions?


There are good gamblers that have succeeded over time to get predictions that come out exactly the way they predicted, but nobody should give you a game to go and play and tell you that this game will come out 100% as they have predicted, that's alone is a red flag, an expert gambler will tell you that the outcome might be 50/50, it has not always been 100% in gambling because it can go either ways at any moment, so in answering your question yes I believe there are expert gamblers that give you good predictions but every prediction is tied to a 50/50 outcome.
677  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 02, 2024, 10:30:00 PM
Sometimes football can be very funny. Look at how difficult it is for Westham to score against Brighton and Vice Versa. If it were a bigger team like Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool. They would have had the chance to score while competing for the three points.

I have come to a conclusion that the teams that would want to stop the first three teams on the table to not win the EPL title or would make them drop points are teams that are not that tough. They seem tough when they play the bigger teams, but whenever they play against their equal, they are unable to win each other.


Don't be surprised that is how it has always been with average teams, most times whenever they meet big clubs they always try to put out their best because they believe they have bigger views because a lot of persons will be streaming the match, much eyes will be on them to either criticize or see the outcome of the match so they put in their best, but when they meet their peers, teams that are of the same average level with them, they don't bring out the best in them, they try to possibly feel a bit relax, so either they end up being beaten or the game will end up draw.

Well according to the advanced learners dictionary, it describes an educated person as someone who has a very high standard of learning, while the Oxford dictionary states  that an educated person is someone that have been to a school, be it primary, secondary or tertiary, we all know that education plays an important role in the forum, cause one ought to know how to read and write properly to be able to participate in the activities going on here.

 However in my understanding asides from knowing how to read and write, which describes someone educated, i think an educated person can also be described as someone that can set defenses around themselves against the world, most of us here come from or lives in areas that's insecured. Therefore based on their intelligence they should be able to strategize how to protect themselves and keep themselves from getting into danger, an illiterate might be physically strong  but might lack the basic understanding of how to survive, but it takes someone educated to study their surroundings and figure out how to safeguard themselves from being harmed. The insecurity in our country is getting out of hand, and in this new year we all need to be very strategic on how to survive. Everyone needs to be on guard, cause that's part of what makes us educated.



There is a thin line between education and learning, education has to do with the ability or the process of learning, thereby going to school to learn the basic academic necessities, and there are two types of education, education can be formal and it can also be informal, formal education has to do with the process of going to a school from the primary stage to the tertiary institution and informal education has to do with the process of learning a skill that can at the end of the day provide you with their ability to deliver on a job.
However formal education helps to build your cognitive reasoning and also helps you to build your mental capacity to decipher on solutions and thoughtfulness.

Liverpool has an opportunity to go three points ahead of Arsenal today if they win. It would be a very vital three points and would reduce the pressure on themselves while putting pressure on Arsenal.

Although Liverpool has previously slipped up I think if they don't focus on today's game they would still let this chance fly away, my prediction is a win for Liverpool.

It is better for Liverpool to concentrate on winning today's game because Newcastle plays well enough that you can't expect them to lose. If Liverpool wins today's game, they will be five points ahead of Arsenal, i think there will be tough competition for the Premier League title this season. This is because if Liverpool wins today's game and has five points ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal, they won't lose any of their games and will instead try to win or draw to stay at the top of the league. I also predict on Liverpool to win which i expect them to win, the premier league matches will be very interesting, i believe Liverpool will not lose this opportunity to win today game.
I think the Liverpool side will be playing with too much anxiety in this match though it is expected of them to do so but it will cause them alot of trouble in this game if they fail to compose themselves and play like a team, alot is at stake, they will be seeking to extend their lead at the top of the table and Newcastle on the other hand will be very difficult to deal with considering the fact that they have lost alot of games and may seek to turn their fortunes around or forcing Liverpool to a draw, whichever way, I guess this match won't be an easy one for either of the teams.
