Manchester City will be facing Liverpool
Aston Villa would be facing Tottenham Hotspur
Arsenal would be up against Brentford a London Derby.

Next week will indeed be interesting because with the Big Match from Manchester City against Liverpool at the Etihad this could make a significant difference and change back for the standings but indeed Tottenham against Aston Villa will also be very interesting to watch.
Because if one of the clubs loses in these 2 matches then indeed a change in position will definitely occur if you look at the current points which are still too close but indeed in any case now Arsenal are the most fortunate because they will play against Brentford.
Even though Brentford is sometimes always full of surprises but we also cannot deny that Arsenal are definitely favorites to get 3 points in this match so that whoever loses between Manchester City and Liverpool then indeed Arsenal will be very happy with the results because after all their chance to try to move up from the standings is now visible only they also still have to ensure victory against Brentford next week.

Today’s game was thrilling, I was at the edge of my seat throughout.  This match is arguably the best match I have seen this season. Chelsea did very well today, I wasn’t expecting them to score as many goals as they did, I really hope they can maintain this form and also to work on their defense. Today’s game proves that Manchester City are not invincible, I doubt they will be winning a treble this season.

Last season, City played with Newcastle 3-3 and this did not stop them from winning the treble. But the absence of KDB certainly has an impact, and in any case, the fact that Chelsea were able to score as many as four goals against them is impressive.
By the way, in the next round City plays Liverpool and I hope they will lose points again, and if Liverpool wins, they will also take the lead. What score will we expect in this game if the result with Chelsea is 4-4? 8-8?  Grin
Actually it's not too makesenese to make this one match as a benchmark for a season because in my opinion even if they draw they also have nothing to lose and indeed I agree with what you said considering this also does not mean Manchester City's performance is bad because this is actually one of the best reminders for Pep that they still have to improve if they still want to make new history now.
Losing KDB as a successor in midfield and as an attack organizer with a pass that always spoils other players is indeed one of the problems that Manchester City still cannot solve to this day even though their performance is still very good but when KDB is not in this squad it still gives one characteristic that is lacking from Manchester City but for the problem of champions and Pep's achievements I think today's draw does not guarantee anything for the end of the season because I believe they can still develop better now.
703  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 12, 2023, 09:13:02 PM
Napoli continues to surprise, losing against one of the weakest teams in the league. Of course, they had a bit of an unlucky evening, Napoli was the dominant team in the match, but they failed to score a goal.
A team that cannot score has no chance of winning the match, and when they made a mistake towards the end of the match and conceded a goal, they lost 3 points. Looks like this season won't go well for them Smiley
Again and again Napoli are getting results that are not very good for their performance and this is the third defeat in the first 12 matches they have run which is certainly a difference when compared to last season which only lost 4 times in all matches made.
This is really not very good. Their performance was good, there was nothing wrong with it because looking at the possession and the chances they received it was really unbalanced but it was not accompanied by good finishing.
Losing Osimhen and the rotations made such as backing up Zielinski and Kvaratskhelia in this match was also a mistake in my opinion because even though they want to save energy but when defeats occur like this I think it is very detrimental and with the results they receive now to catch up with other clubs in the top 3 it is difficult now especially to catch up with Inter which they must win in this match which makes Napoli's gap with Inter 10 points.
704  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: November 12, 2023, 08:53:04 PM

As I often say, in the end PSG will take over the top of the standings into their hands. although IMO, this team cannot be said to have achieved an ideal game. In fact, it can't be said to be solid yet. Why, we can refer to the fact that Enrique doesn't have a standard pattern that he relies on, even though he doesn't always have to. Apart from that, every match the coach will definitely rotate some of his players and that's the fact. That's why PSG hasn't been able to appear stable.
Like falling at Newcastle headquarters, falling at AC Milan's San Siro. even though, the system they are playing already seems visible and purposeful.

Regardless of whether PSG's performance is ideal or not, it is only a matter of time for PSG where they only have to continue to be consistent while waiting for the club that is rising in terms of performance to have problems and now it is happening.
It has become a fairness in my opinion when talking about PSG and the top of the table because they have a lot of resources and their strength is far above even though until now PSG still cannot maximize it in a better direction, especially for big competitions like the Champions League but for Ligue 1 it has become a benchmark that PSG is the king because they have advantages in any case so it is difficult for other clubs to compete.
This is the same as the Bundesliga because in the end the top club position at the end will definitely belong to Bayern for the Bundesliga and PSG for Ligue 1 despite their poor performance at the start of the season but it is only a matter of time for them to reach the top again.

One is that we should not expect a number that is too high compared to what is happening and should be satisfied with what we get. Second: we should set a specific goal and only sell bitcoin when we reach the goal, and of course, we should not set a specific time for our goal. Because we all know that no one can predict the future and we are no exception. My goal and plan is that I will only sell when bitcoin reaches my goal and I am willing to wait until the 2030 bull season if this bull season fails to reach my goal.
I still feel that when talking about speculation, such things are not prohibited but don't make it too much as if it is exaggerated because such things are also not very good especially when spoken by an influencer or someone who has time behind him because even if it is just speculation and we as people who understand must know such things but not all will consider it just speculation especially new people who in the end this gives the wrong understanding to their followers which in fact this will be the forerunner that bitcoin will look bad because the expectations are higher than our thoughts who should realize the process is not that fast.
I don't prohibit anyone in this case when they want to comment on bitcoin and price speculation because it is a situation they create themselves but it would be great if indeed our rationality is also given especially to those who do have a large following.
706  Economy / Economics / Re: Being rich = not looking at price tag on: November 11, 2023, 09:38:42 PM
I often read people saying they want to earn enough money so they don't have to look at price tag of product. Imo, even if you are rich you wouldn't want to spend money on things that are not worthy of price being paid.

You wanna look at product and then it's price, if it's worthy of price, you purchase the product.
I think something like this is just a form of metaphor because in the end when we want to buy things, of course we have to be aware of what we are buying in terms of quality and the brand we are buying because we are not fools who only buy at high prices for poor quality but buying without looking at the price according to my interpretation is when we want something that we think is useful even though the price is expensive, we are definitely not bothered to buy it with the money we have.
This does not mean that it is as if it makes a cheap product that when sold expensive then we will buy it without consideration because the concept is not like that considering that in the end the price also determines the quality we buy.

Furthermore, for Arsenal, perhaps from historical data the two clubs always end in a draw, but in fact the situation has changed Arsenal has become stronger than in the past and this time Arsenal should be able to win against Burnley but it could still be a draw.
Because Burnley is not a strong team, Arsenal will win easily at Emirates Stadium. Statistical history of Arsenal's meetings with Burnley in the last three years, Burnley could be a problem for Arsenal because Burnley was able to achieve a draw and Arsenal won with a narrow number of goals.
This situation may not apply to this match because Arsenal does not want to have a big difference in points from Manchester City and several other teams above them, including Tottenham.
I don't think it will be that simple. Indeed in this case Arsenal are definitely the favorites and indeed victory is actually in sight but saying this is easy I think it's too confident.
Although the opponent at this time is Burnley but still this will not be as easy as imagined. This is the EPL where everything can still happen as well as in this match. Although indeed in terms of strength and statistics seen now Arsenal are definitely far superior but too confident against a club like this can actually happen unexpectedly.
I remember before when Arsenal overestimated Lens who had big problems in Ligue 1 for the Champions League competition which ultimately ended in defeat so in this match they must not underestimate the opponent even though the opponent is Burnley.
708  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and misinformation on: November 10, 2023, 09:56:34 PM

But if we can educate them about bitcoin as early as today then it would be better. However, convincing them to stick with bitcoin and believe just like how we see bitcoin is another story. That could end up as a scam. And we are obviously do not want to scam them, but to open their eyes on the realities about bitcoin that they fail to understand because their minds are focus more on fiat.
IMO this method is too classic I think because if in the end they are really interested in bitcoin without the need for us to invite them they will look for themselves so educating is actually even good but it also depends on the situation and conditions because educating someone about bitcoin we also have to see who we will educate.
Now the development of technology is very rapid there is no need to ask other people if you really intend to find out about bitcoin because with the internet and the desire to do research, things like this will be easy to get but when there are still many people who until now think bitcoin is bad then there is something going on where when they only follow the views of others about bitcoin in their environment or indeed have learned but the way they do it is wrong so that it makes them lose and consider this a scam.
709  Economy / Economics / Re: Fiat & Crypto - Effective Expert Advise on: November 10, 2023, 09:36:45 PM


So In conclusion, I respectfully ask "what is your Effective Expert Advise for a Person (me) that has enough Salary but still want more Financial Stability using cryptocurrency".

I am not an expert on this but if I may say so, when you believe that Crypto can make you financially better then learn first.
It is important as you said in the last quote that bees do not need to waste time explaining to flies that bees are better than dirt so indeed in this case I also will not comment much because you have to learn more about what you want to do.
Investing in bitcoin will always be the best advice, it's just that when working on it you have to go through the way you learn yourself because after all, when you only listen to the words of others then it is the same as you making your last quote as your own representative form.
710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: November 10, 2023, 09:17:01 PM
Yep, looking at what happened actually Liverpool seemed to want more rest for their players in this match and some young players were given the opportunity which made this a little less exciting for Liverpool even though they (young players) also played very well but flying hours are very important to support performance.
Other than that, they also don't have any problems despite losing this match as they remain comfortably at the top of the table in Group E.
Regardless of the result, I like what Klopp did in this match because these young players must be given more opportunities to strengthen their mentality and giving confidence in this prestigious match is important to make their spirits rise.
The result from today match shouldn't be something to worry over because that was the game plan by Klopp, to gamble with the match since it is not an important match, and I believe that this was his reason why he had to bench his key player and give the younger ones the opportunity to showcase theu talents even though it will lead to a loss.

Tonight was a great moment for Toulouse as they had the greatest victory in their life ever since the history of the club, and we can see that in them after the last goal was scored which was cancelled due to a hand ball that was made that les to the goal. I gave them the respect for winning Liverpool and scoring up to four goals in the match.
Actually even though they lost but it doesn't mean this is in accordance with Klopp's plan because after all even though they played with their layered squad but I'm still very sure they didn't want to lose it's just that for 90 minutes in this match they lost as the worst possibility that happened.
For Toulouse this is indeed a blessing because with them managing to bring 3 points against Liverpool, apart from them getting a boost of spirit, they are also still quite comfortable in second place now even though there are indeed 2 more matches they have to complete but I think if they play the same as facing Liverpool in yesterday's match they can secure the runner-up position.
711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: November 09, 2023, 09:50:24 PM
Liverpool's main problem in this game was with their defense line, the defense was too weak to hold the attackers especially the No.9 Thijs Dallinga who scored the second goal for Toulouse from penetrating the eighteen-yard box and the home base team Toulouse was running through Liverpool's men with such an ease which mounted so much pressure  on Liverpool back men and the goals become much before Liverpool got their consolation goal.

Crap result but looking at the starting lineup it isn’t a surprise. Klopp isn’t taking this competition seriously but the players out there were awful today. Toulouse showed much more desire and deserved to win.

However, the referee and VAR made a terrible decision to disallow a 97th minute equaliser for a handball on the halfway line about 5 phases before the goal was scored. I think that goes against UEFA VAR rules.

712  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Doge coin everly hit $1? on: November 09, 2023, 04:36:55 PM
Dogecoin is one of a long time COIN that has been in existence for over 10years now. since December 2013 dogecoin hit 0.0000869 on may 6 2015 and today is $0.076 now am wondering if it could reach $1price after 10years compeard to Bitcoin.
Actually in this case I don't really like to compare doge with bitcoin because however regardless of the price that doge gave before we should realize that they have such a big increase because of what.
Doge is one of the alt that I used to use because I quite like transacting with this coin but now that is not possible after the intervention of elon and some other influencers who did a very crazy pomp to this meme coin actually it was the end of them and I was not there anymore until now.

Regardless of anything at the moment their progress remains the same, doge can still go up but it's only temporary due to the hype with a quick pump and dump because with the previous big pump as well as the fall that many people suffered of course coins like this will not be looked at much more for now especially for investment issues.

713  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What lies ahead for Bitcoin in the coming days? on: November 09, 2023, 01:24:07 PM
I remember being in a Facebook group where people were debating if Bitcoin would ever recover or if that was in fact the end of the world biggest Cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Inasmuch as I've witnessed similar events in the past years where Bitcoin walked down this same path I still couldn't help but have the thought "WHAT IF"
What if this is actually the end of Bitcoin?
What if I'm making the wrong choice still investing in Bitcoin?
What if this, what if that...
And honestly the Negative Vibes and tension in the air weren't really helping at all, but it appears as we all see now that Bitcoin has indeed recovered and taking a good turn now.
In this case we cannot see what will happen in the future and your view of "what if" is not wrong but I think you fantasize too much with fear and just think more about the worst thing that makes yourself too anxious about it.
Being in bitcoin is a risky choice and we all know that so regardless of how much doubt you are expressing with the "what if" metaphor it has already been answered by saying that it is a risk so if you can't handle the risk then don't be in bitcoin because it will only make you think of more things just like you did in this thread.
But if indeed we already know that the risks and some possibilities that must occur about bitcoin then I think when you remain convinced that bitcoin is one of the things that you can maintain as an investment I think you will not think too much "what if" because indeed all you think about is how to add and do a good strategy in the investment made.
714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: November 08, 2023, 10:00:57 PM
Match 4 of the Champions League is now over and we have seen a few names that are now certain to qualify from the group stage because they are already too far away from their competitors.
Group A we have Bayern, Group C Madrid are already through, Group D Sociedad and Inter are already assured and now it's just a battle for 3rd place with Salzbrug and Benfica and the other 2 groups are from Group G where Manchester City and Leipzig are definitely going to the knock out phase.
There are now 6 clubs who have already guaranteed themselves qualification and now it is just a matter of looking at the remaining groups and matches in week 5 because some clubs may also be able to lock in positions in the 5th match later.
But for Group F it looks like we will have to wait until the end of the matches to find out who will eventually qualify for the next phase.
715  Economy / Economics / Re: AI will put an end to work, says Elon Musk on: November 08, 2023, 09:38:25 PM
I agree to the pipe thing but I disagree on the programming.

AI technology is very frightening, I don't know if this is because of watching too much sci-fi movies but let's be honest, it can happen. AI technology evolving, to the point where they exceeded your expectations, like they decide for their own, and function in their own. Though, right now AI and machines replaces a lot of human jobs especially in a factory is also one of the main reasons why unemployment in that certain field is happening.

I mean, when AI and machine works, there's no denying that it makes everything easier, smooth, and well polished. So, we have to think of other jobs to earn money just in case AI overtaken the world.
Well, regardless of our ignorance due to seeing too many fictional movies or whatever, AI has now developed beyond expectations.
For example, maybe in this case I often edit photos or videos, especially for things that are podcasts or advertisements in the form of banners. It used to take me quite a long time to create a design or edit material suitable for making one video or photo so that I could commercialize it but for now with the help of AI I only need even less than half an hour to make it a satisfying result so in this case the development is indeed apart from being profitable this can be scary because for the future it is not impossible with the existence of AI there are many things that can be exceeded even beyond our capabilities.
I like developments like this because this is proof that technology is advancing but on the other hand if we are only fixated and cannot adjust properly when technology and innovation are increasingly sophisticated then it is not impossible that we can be replaced by AI.
716  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not perfect, and that's okay. on: November 08, 2023, 08:24:03 PM
Bitcoin is not perfect and so is every other innovation man has created.
Not perfect in the sense that it has pros and it also has cons.
All things that are created not only bitcoin are not perfect and there must be updates again and again in each period as time goes by so when looking for the perfect in this world obviously there will be nothing like that.
As for bitcoin and their perfection is also not perfect but even so I don't think it's a big problem because in the end we already feel confident in what we are doing and I personally am in bitcoin not wanting perfection but as an investment that I think will be profitable if I continue to be here.
My view was proven right after a few years I got more profit than before and now I am restarting investment and waiting for my momentum to return to harvest the results of the investment I made.
717  Economy / Economics / Re: How to avoid over expenses and have discipline on: November 08, 2023, 07:56:26 PM
Avoiding impulsive purchases may be the biggest factor in solving the problem. Most of our unnecessary expenses are things we buy on impulse. If we can prevent these, we will have taken a big step towards achieving what we want.

The problem with this is that when we don't realize from the start that such things can be dangerous, we will indeed get carried away and forget, leading us to shop for things we want (not need) carelessly.
This kind of thing always happens which makes us a hedonistic person because we don't have good self-control and financial management.
But on the other hand, things like this always happen when there is a transition where we have more money because we always want to try something that we have never felt just to fulfill our own curiosity.

This obviously has to be reduced but it's not as easy as it looks because it's just human nature that when their finances increase then indeed the consumptive lifestyle always attacks and makes us complacent which ultimately makes us regret it at the end.

PSG scored their first goal in the first half of the match at the 9th minutes which could be considered an early goal which got everyone thinking it's definitely going to be a win in favour of the french side but AC Milan got an equalizer pretty soon before the end of the first half.

They are few minutes into the second half of the match already and we would hope it end in favour of PSG although AC Milan have got the home advantage but PSG isn't showing any form of weakness in this game rather they are doing just well, if they are able to secure a goal in the second half of their game and seal their victory, they will be at the top of their group leading Dortmund with two points, but at the moment they are ahead of Dortmund with goal difference but sharing same points.

AC Milan have shown a great deal of character tonight by getting an equaliser in the first half of the game and taking the in the early part of the second half unlike their last performance in their last game of the first round of the group stage against PSG a couple week ago, it's been a thriller so far tonight with Olivier Giroud coming to the rescue for Milan nevertheless, Luis Enrique's boys are not ready to throw in the towel just yet as they keep mounting more pressure from all sides, kylian mbappe and musa Dembele are firing from all cylinders trying to get PSG back into the game as they losing 2-1.
The match was entering crucial time and they were about to go into extra time.
It will definitely be very interesting if in the end Milan can get 3 points in this match because then the points from Dortmund, PSG, Milan and Necwastle are only 1 point away (If Milan wins).
I am happy if it ends up like that because this is the so-called Hell group where every club can still compete for tickets to qualify for the knock out phase.
Milan are still playing very well with their defense and making quick counterattacks but indeed at this crucial time sometimes there are some things that sometimes become a surprise, hopefully Milan can maintain the current score.
719  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 07, 2023, 09:32:41 PM
There are currently several names of players including Modric, Kroos, Lunin, Vasquez, Nacho Fernandes have contracts that have not been renewed. Their contracts expire at the end of the season, and it is a puzzle whether they stay or leave on a free. At the moment they also don't get many opportunities to play, because they are the 2nd option. But there is no official news yet, maybe if you don't extend the contract, Real Madrid will have to sell in the middle of the season soon. Otherwise, they will leave for free.
Now we actually have to wait to see what Madrid will do in the upcoming transfer season because if they end up looking for a few more players in midfield then it is certain that the future of some players will not be extended but if they will still work with the current squad then short-term contracts for some players will definitely be done especially for Modric and Kroos.
My hope for this is that they keep Kroos for at least another season, as for Modric, age is still a barrier but his performance is still very good so far and it is still worth it. But Madrid's history is that they very rarely use players older than 37 years old and Modric is the only old player they have now.

Today we will watch the Chelsea and Tottenham matches. I think this will again be interesting where Chelsea who are in a not too uncertain condition face Tottenham who are in very good condition. but like Liverpool's match against Luton there could be an interesting surprise in this match.
Yep. Tottenham will be the favorite team to win the match. They have very good stats (8 wins, 2 draws, and 0 lose). It is quite different with Chelsea. So far they only won 3 matches, got 3 draws, and 4 loses. If we look at the stats, it is clear that Chelsea is not in a good condition, it should be an easy match for Tottenham. Moreover, Tottenham is the host, the match will be held in their stadium. It can be an extra motivation for Tottenham players to win the match. So in theory, Tottenham will win the match easily today. However, sometimes it is possible for a surprise like the match Luton Town vs Liverpool. No one expected that the match ended with a draw result. It also can happen in the match Tottenham vs Chelsea, too.

In the end, yesterday's match really illustrated what I said earlier with Chelsea managing to win quite heavily against 9 Tottenham players because Cristian Romero and Udogie had to be sent off by the referee.
Despite the drama that occurred with a lot of disallowed goals and 2 red cards created, this match was really very interesting because both clubs performed a match that I did not imagine before especially for Chelsea. The high tension and hard play applied by both players only with the loss of 2 players made Tottenham limp and must be willing to lose points in this match.
