Klopp started at Mainz but his biggest achievement first came at Borussia Dortmund where he did a back to back league title in 2012 and 2013. He also went to the champions league final after piping Real Madrid in the semis and eventually lost to Rivals Bayern Munich in the final. His final season at Dortmund was actually very poor finishing seventh and a defeat in the DFP Pokal final. But nonetheless he really showed character which saw Liverpool appointed him.

Now to Liverpool I would say he is arguably one of there greatest Managers even if doesn’t win anything again. Liverpool were languishing in the middle of the table almost each season after their 2006 champions league win before he came to the club and has won everything needed to be won in the club including the only trophy missing which is the EPL.

He deserves to be given time during his bad days and that was what Liverpool did last season and it is repaying them. So I also agree that he won’t get sacked anytime soon except a big fallout happens or he decides to leave because their is few managers left that can match his record

The drop zone is not looking good to be sincere, both Sheffield United and Bournemouth are struggling to win a single game. Although Sheffield United misery was actually kind of predicted to me because they were just coming, the other two teams are Burnley and Luton. Although I was expecting Luton to be last because of the depth of their squad. They probably have the weakest squad in the league but they have played well to be honest. The only thing lacking is they can not score goals and at the end of the day I don’t see them surviving the drop even though they are above the zone currently.

The next two relegation candidates that the battle for the last spot will be fought with is between Burnley and Bournemouth. Bournemouth survived the fall last season but it was evident with the way they have started this season that they will definitely need to do better to remain in the league and they are not doing that. Burnley on the other hand are showing signs of a team that love to hold the ball very much, against a team of your caliber you can do that and that’s why they almost went undefeated in the championship last season. But against premier league clubs, I don’t see Kompany’s men standing a chance. Even if This is there new identity I think the Kompany needs to twerk it a beat and learn how to sit deep and hurt some big clubs on counter.

Some members when they see probably a merit source or a another member gives out merit more often to another user they think they are close or have some familiarity. Yes the familiarity might come from how the user getting the merits post and the other member gets attracted to his post and nothing of a friendship. There are many users that haven’t got interaction with one another and they have received the most merit from them.

The best way to get merit to me is by staying constant pushing to contribute to the forum. You can as well learn how to make them by reading posts of prominent members that get them frequently.


This also is not a reason why it is here. The only two genuine reason is to use it to separate ranks, aside the activity issue. With merit it means you achieved that rank with your contribution to the forum. The other one is to discourage spammers and low quality posters, once people do not get merit for there posts they get frustrated and that reduces the number of spammers.

The first is there are lack of engagements in women sports most especially In football. The women games in football that are mostly watched is the international games which are not frequent like the club games. In the club games you get to watch more. Also some of these clubs were created just three to four season ago like Manchester United and Real Madrid female team.

Your guess is since you’re certain that a particular club  will win, then there is no fun in that kind of betting. Also since there is a clear favorite the odds will very small and wouldn’t worth the risk. More os you as a man can only gamble on what you have vast knowledge about.

I saw your old posts and I will say you already know how to quote and add link to your post which is a good way to start. I will advice you go through the threads shared to you above especially the SMF help section to know what each icon mean. You would get most now but as you grow in the forum so will you get acquainted with some of this features.

To add an image is not hard all you need to do is to upload that image into https://talkimg.com/. After uploading then copy the link and come and paste here. You can actually edit the size by adding
Also one thing I do is I intentionally quote some members when I see new arrangements on their post to see the raw form it was before posting.

Also one thing is prioritize previewing your post before posting them

Yeah this absolutely strange because I haven’t seen or heard of cases too. One could have said it’s probably update issue but that’s not how it works. The only thing that’s came to my mind is maybe you were logged out and when in you just went to the P2P section straight up and that will not show other currency. But that also doesn’t seem as a genuine reason to me.

But for the time been you can actually try other decentralized platforms and take your money off Binance. Visit either AgroDesk or Bisq

Zidane actually came out to say he is happy having some time with his family and seems not likely to return to any managerial career soon but i decipher in this whole taking a rest thing is, Zidane seems not to be interested in managing any club again because if he is he would have gotten the job long time ago. There was the PSG job before it was given to Luis Enrique, the Chelsea job before it was handed over to Pochettino and also the Napoli job. All this signifies that he only wants a job with National team. France was his dream destination but it was cut off when the federation president said he can never be the manager. I don’t blame them because since Deshcamp took the managerial duty of the team they have been to three four finals in which two has been in the World Cup. So I don’t see a way back for ZIZO into the national team for now other than the France team getting knocked out of an international tournament.

As for Madrid they have a better second option who to me is perfect. The person is Bayern Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso. The former Madrid player has done exceptionally at Leverkusen and I will prefer him to the out of job Zidane.

If we talk about Champions league experience then the two teams on top are supposed to be following each other at the bottom. Both PSG and Newcastle are the two clubs in that group with a limited experience than the other two. Newcastle have spent years before this qualification and PSG only recently stated to be regulars in the champions league since the Arab owner got the club.

The prediction for any of the game in this group is too tight to predict. Newcastle might have won the game against PSG but they turn off easily in the next match, although I am not predicting a Dortmund win at Saint James park but they will try to get a point from that match and build on it at the signal Iduna park.

Wow that was the first thing you saw after creating your account less than 10 minutes in? And how did you know what merit was for? Probably maybe through reading the rules you will say. Then I will say you can find your way to that rules thread to learn a thing about the forum. Also since you were able to navigate your way around to a merit board then try to check on the pined posts on this board it will guide you.

A piece of advice don’t chase em merits they will never come, just contribute to the forum by sharing your knowledge and also gain more knowledge if that’s truly why you’re here

Yes Arsenal had a very poor end to last season after starting well just like this season, many fans are still holding on to that excuse that they are not genuine contenders. I will also agree that we should wait till then but I will draw my conclusions from their performances so far. One thing Arteta needed to handle in the summer was to increase the squad with better players that can come in and change a game. Players like Rice and Timber were better signings to Cover in the midfield and defense. Last season this was what caused them the league, the Saliba injury and also Partey’s. This two accusations with that of Harvetz who is versatile will provide them much needed depth if the players are fit. Although they should have added a new striker too

I also noticed that Arsenal This season can actually defend a single goal lead to win a game. Last season they dropped points more when they were in winning position and that was what cost them the league. But this season I have seen them hold on to the win with just one goal deficit

I am with the prediction that Bayern Munich will top the group. When the group seeding was done many actually had a prediction of the top spot been between them and Manchester United but with the way United are playing they would only get second best in the group if they even qualify. The big threat to united will certainly be Galatasaray, they have been one of the hottest clubs in Europe this season and if Bayern can beat them in the two legs and United produce same result in the other game with Copenhagen then Bayern will have save them selves the top spot. And this is something I am speculating to happen except we see a very different Galatasaray.


You can’t say they are better now because the stats so far favors Galatasaray over the other clubs in the group, they have the better wining record in all competitions this season than the other three clubs. I also don’t see them winning but you can be sure with the way Bayern are even playing this season.

Both of them are great stores of value with just little advantages they poses over each other. If one is rich and easily doesn’t want a very volatile asset then they will settle for gold. As for bitcoin I so much admire it because it doesn’t need much amount to get invested into even a 10$ purchase can be done and also it is easily accessible than physical gold which is not just sold anyhow but bitcoin can be bought from the comfort of your home through exchanges.

The risk is bitcoin can easily be lost with just a misplaced seed phrase or compromised wallet which cannot be done to Physical gold. Also Gold itself seems hard to save because the more you have it, the larger the place needed to store it, and this will only expose one to potential thieves. But one can have million of bitcoin store in just a small hardware wallet without it raising an eyebrow except the owner discuss its content with people

This two players are reason Manchester City was dependable players without the two of them City always have issues with their play pattern, with Rodri just come back next match day from suspension it will be a relief for Pep, also KDB is already training personally. Th league is just too open now because both teams on top are just some points ahead for Manchester City,.


Strikers are very hard to come by this days except young players which you re mostly taking a risk with. Napoli will try to keep Osihmen but with his goal scoring power it will be hard to tame him down. The biggest problem is the that video mocking him, it as shattered the relationship between the player and the Board. I see him switching club when summer transfer window opens

Bitcoin halving is certainly one of those things you will hear about immediately you get into bitcoin. This event not only represent the halving of the reward for mining a block but also represents the fact that bitcoin has come from a long way all the way from been a reward of 50 bitcoin per block mined to where we now (6.25 bitcoin). The event also signifies the future of bitcoin because as more halving period comes the closer we are to having almost all bitcoin mined which signals bitcoin scarcity. It is this scarcity that causes FOMO which usually leads to a long prolong bull run in the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem.

There are many topics you can come across on the forum itself to help prepare one for the halving approaching. A thread here by 1miau contains recent discussions of how the halving periods seems like for newbies

Both teams actually had a bad start to last season, Stuttgart have been a consistent relegation fighters since they got promotion back to the Bundesliga. The season before they escaped on deadline day and last season almost same thing. But since the addition of Serhou Guirassy last season they seem to have a man that could knock in those goals for them. This season Guinea international is proving is worth and if he Carries on like this and probably get the team to qualify for the Champions League next season or even get a European competitions because I don’t count them winning the league yet, then he might be up for a big money move from them.

As for Leverkusen it is clear that the manager had a big influence in their recent form. Since Xabi Alonso took place they have won more games than any Bundesliga team and his addition has of players like Boniface, Jonas Hoffman and Granit Xhaka have shown what a great manager he is. I am going to be backing them for the title this season if they don’t later lose the brake.

Manchester city are a team in crisis with the absence of their star men Rodri and De Bruyne with both of them out due to suspension and Injury respectively. Although city dominated the game in the first half but they lack the final ball to Halaand who most of the game was kept in check by both Arsenal center back. The second half also started the same way with Rico Lewis causing little problems for Arsenal in such that if it were a more experienced player Arsenal would have been in trouble. Arsenal later grew into the game when Martinell came on and was more direct than the other attackers. The game was gotten hold of by Arsenal immediately they had Partey on the pitch, he brought balance to the team and his brilliant over top ball set up the goal.

Arsenal were lucky to take the three points but my concern is they definitely need a striker because both Jesus and Nketiah were wasteful and if it was another day Manchester City would have punished them

Yes you might be seeing a total of 101 merits but OP has only earned a single merit since the merit option was implemented the remaining merits were just airdrop which was at then base on activity. When you check Bpip.org site you will see the difference there, some of the accounts that received airdrop merits will have a higher total merits than earned.



OP there is no secret to earning merits other than contributing valuable to the forum either creating threads or through replies. This is done by you having the required knowledge about the forum, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Another way I will suggest is to read through the post history of high ranking but prominent ones you would learn how to my post and also get knowledge from them

I wouldn’t say they improved the game because even the loss against Galatasary was much better. The first half was total disappointment from Manchester United because Brentford actual dominated. Rashford was bad again and in my opinion needs to start coming from the bench, when players like Gernacho came on their tenacity impacted the game, same thing with Anthony. Gernacho’s drive was what produced the first United goal which was the equalizer. Then the second came after a bit of hard work from Harry Maguire. This match should certainly give Erik Ten Hag the opportunity to twerk his formation a bit if he wants result and competition. The wing should be occupied by Gernacho and Anthony while Harry Maguire definitely needs to start Because of his recent form. Nonetheless to me this isn’t a convincing win but just a block for Manchester United to climb on and improve. Hopefully after the international break some of the injured players would have return


He is not according some news outlets, Fabrizo Romano has also confirmed that the Board are behind him and are not looking to replace him anytime soon

Things like this does happen when everything just won’t work in your favor. Missing two penalties in just one game and goin on to draw the definitely will fee like a lose to Leipzig most especially since they are looking to catch up with other contenders. Going into this game Bochum had not won even a single game but drew three of their first six league games, so I was predicting a comfortable win for Leipzig and then football Happened.


Dortmund look like a rejuvenated team and somewhat a team that wants to battle for the league title. But this time around it will not be a two horse race because club like Bayer Leverkusen are ready to go toe to toe with any club for the title and it is them I back seriously. I would have opted for Dortmund but they are too in consistent, even today they had to comeback win the game. Although it show their character but a team ready to dispose this Bayern must be able to control game from the start and not coming back because it sometimes won’t work

Leave bitcoin aside Op, look for an income generating revenue work to start earning income. Yes there is profit in bitcoin trading but this depends on the amount you invested which in turn is how you much money your income generates. Without external business aside bitcoin I don’t see where you will have such money to invest,  and even if you invest that among  it will be actually hard to concentrate properly and not to make trading discussions because of fear.

So OP this your dream will only be a reality if you look for other source of income and just hodl the little bitcoin you can afford to buy
