One word with Jude Bellingham performance "AMAZING", He scored 10 goals of 10 matches all competition for Real Madrid between domestic league and UEFA Champion League matches him as best signing in summer window transfer ...
What is even more amazing is that his goals is not the most important part of his game. He gives Real Madrid lost of control in the midfield and helps to create lost of goal scoring chances for Vinicius down that left wing, through direct assists, pre assists and amazing positional play.
He is also very physical and helps out defensively. A perfect fit for this Madrid team.

How many goals do you reckon he will score at the end of this season?

For now yeah but if either Arsenal or City win tomorrow then Tottenham is going to drop to #2. Considering that they lost Kane, they are doing pretty good and I thought they would be struggling abit without Kane but it seems they are far better now without him
I will not say they are better without Kane, but they have definitely done very well without him and no solid replacement. Ange Postecoglou has done a great job with the available resources.

Anyway, McTominay really saved Ten Hag's ass today. Imagine being subbed in on 87' minutes then scored 2 goals to saved his ass, thats literally 10 minutes and he is not even a striker. On the other hand, Onana sucks  Roll Eyes
It may be a matter of time before Manchester United sack him, heavily dependent on results at the end of the champions league group stage. Although it is beginning to beg the question, after 5 managers and complete overhaul of players, if they are the problem. The expectation is high based on past results, but a club can only live in the past for so long.

I was wondering if I could stake multiple BTC addresses on Bitcointalk!
There is no rule against it.

No matter how much we try to protect something, sometimes we cannot. It's the same for the BTC address. That's why we see many cases of losing passphase or private keys due to hardware or software failure. It can be intentional or unintentional. Hacking, phishing or other means. Accidents happen, regardless of the precautions we take.
What you store is your seedphrase and not the private key. A hardware or software failure does not affect your offline back up. If your address is compromised, you should exclude it as a source of recovering your account.

I had another question. It may sound somehow off topic. Is there a board on Bitcointalk where posts can't be edited or deleted?
None AFAIK.
There are boards you cannot delete your posts until 24 hours, but that is the maximum.

But what happens if I plagiarize my own writing on another website? And I have the rights to the writing, both patent rights and publication rights
Nothing happens as long as you can prove that you were the original source of the content when it was first posted.
The forum does not bother with patent rights, just prove that xyz account which posted the content on abc website belongs to you.

VAR is a joke. I think football is better without it in its current form. It wastes far too much time and there's no need to check every goal to see if they can find something and the offsides that they needs to draw digital lines to see if someone was offside by a millimetre are pathetic. Who cares?...
I do not think the problem is VAR but its implementation in the league. VAR is working every where else with no major talking points or contestable decisions. It wastes a lot of time, true, but we cannot stop technology from creeping into everything to eliminate the margins of human error, the problem is it is not eliminating the error due to poor implementation.
Tottenham on top of the league is not something that was expected at this point in the season, with their best start in over 60 years.
The manager has been doing a fantastic job of managing the players. It was just Luton, but they will be fancying a top 4 finish this season at this rate.

Hey! I was thinking of something this night, this thing about merits and the merit-sources. If you are a merit-source, should you always give away merit to good posts even if you dislike the user that created the post?
Or are you allowed to be controlled by your feelings and only give away merit to people you like or don't know?
Yes, they are allowed to be controlled by their feelings. It is a voluntary responsibility they undertake, so they are giving lots of wiggle room.

Merit sources are judged for merits they give and not merits they do not give. You will almost certainly not know if a source was avoiding your post. If you perceive they are, (like you commenting on a post with a helpful comment and someone repeats your post immediately after you which gets a merit but you don't), you still cannot fault the merit source for that.

In a flawless system sources should be 100% objective in how they distribute their smerits. They should be blind to prejudice and only merit the post and not the user, they should even merit posts they do not agree with if the argument is deserving of it. But we do not an ideal or flawless system here.

I will not mind seeing the semi-automated VAR technology in use in Europe being included in the EPL. It will help eliminate any doubts in really close calls, like the Gernacho goal against Arsenal.
Then the communication between the officials need to be publicly available and not on request. This will go some way to restore trust in the technology.

Brighton cares more about playing well in the Premier League than the Europa League, after all, even if Brighton win the Europa League, they will receive less money for it than just for the regular season in the Premier League.
Money is not the motivation for the players and the coaching staff. They want to be on the continental stage and get an opportunity to shine. Besides the money from European competitions does not stop the one they get from the domestic league and with winning the Europa league thay are already guaranteed millions for just qualifying to the champions league.

There is so much at stake meaning that, any club not performing well is not for want of trying.

It will be a dream story if West Ham can climb from the Europa Conference League to the Europa league by winning it, and then qualify for the UCL winning the Europa league. They are looking very confident in their matches and stand a good chance to win it.

...They are really bad in this tournament especially Brighton that just cannot find a way to win. They are losing 2-0 on halftime and i dont see them coming back from this honestly. They are completely different in premier league and in Europe.
They fought for a draw and to be fair to them, they have been inconsistent in the league for the past couple of weeks.

This season's officiating has been mostly poor. Diaz's goal was an apparent Onside, and I'm not sure how the ref and VAR missed it. Has the recording been delivered to Liverpool yet? I'd like to know what the VAR and the ref were talking about at the moment.
The released recording which I am sure everyone has seen at this point just pokes more holes into the idea that VAR reduces human error. I find it difficult to fathom that they mis-communicated that the goal was given and then assumed they could no longer interfere in an obvious game changing decision 3 seconds after the mistake was made, but will rather wait till the end of the match to issue an apology, it is quite ridiculous.

No one expected VAR to eliminate errors completely, but the possibility of a replay review and discussions between experienced referees should reduce it to a minimal level at the very least. The opposite has happened and there has been so much inconsistencies and variations in interpretations of the rules. What is more ironic is VAR is not having such issues in other leagues around Europe, so it is obviously an EPL problem with the officiating and not the technology.

I repost this here only to share with the guys who doesnt go so often to the Sportsbet thread. I receive my jerseys from SB...
Congratulations mate.

Newcastle is gradually proving that it cannot be neglected. They were able to hold AC Mian in San Siro and they have just clinched their first win in the UCL.
The next set of repeat fixtures will be very important in determining which team qualifies from the group stage, which drops to the Europa league and which team crashes out entirely. Newcastle will play Dortmund twice and Paris Saint Germain will face A.C Millan, these are fixtures that can go either way for all four of the teams and they are sandwiched between tough league fixtures, meaning squad depth will be very important.

And to the decentralised thing ... The Blockchain is run by someone (maybe you will reply no its a peer-to-peer system ...), that's a fact, and the fact that the Admin of the Servers know everything is also a fact.

For example ... how is it possible that the developers can take action, in transaction from Stolen Wallets, they can mark them, and the transaction will never be approved by the Blockchain.
You seem to be confusing bitcoin with some crappy stable coin?

Blockchains is the universal name for the system behind cryptocurrencies but each one uses a different algorithm which gives different levels of decentralization and security. There are some blockchains which are run by someone with central servers from which they can freeze transactions at will, but this cannot happen with bitcoin cause of how it is designed.

I get to eat my words.for the Newcastle match against PSG. I expected PSG to fund a way to cope with the atmosphere and havc the edge over the magpies, but they looked clueless for most of the match with Mbappe not being able to create any chances.

I do expect the atmosphere at the stadium, but nothing compared to the noise frrom the over 50,000 in attendance. They were the 12th man thought out the game and really played their part.

Over at Portugal, Barcelona managed to win out over Porto, but the games showed a lot of lapses in the Barcelona team if they want to compete for all silverware.

I am eagerly waiting for this match. Newcastle are in such great form that they are very difficult to beat. The team is unbeaten in the last 5 matches.
I am also eagerly awaiting the match. I am certain the energy around St. James' Park will be electric for this match. Champions league night returns to the stadium and to start the journey they have a top top European team to battle against, will be a great way to announce themselves to the rest f Europe if they can come up with a win, even though I am not confident that they would.

PSG are used to playing in the UCL and know how to make it out of the group stage while winning matches like tonight's. Newcastle players can easily get overwhelmed with the stage and what is at stake.

I will not count whatever will be 'unintentional plagiarism' as plagiarism at all, it is just a shared though or a borrowed thought.

I may have read from a user that passport is a good hardware wallet and Electrum is a good software wallet, if another users asks, I can simply write out that thought to them in fairly similar sentences as the user I read it from used, but it will not fall into the ballpark of plagiarism, especially as the text will have other sentences which makes it unique. I consider it almost impossible to unintentionally plagiarize except by copying and pasting while forgetting to include the source of the content, but writing off the top of your head it is impossible to plagiarize.

When writing without reading a text, the human brain is bound to formulate the thought in a unique way, adding content you already have in it, for this reason, every user has their own writing style and it will show even if they are writing something similar with someone else.

What I mean was not about the impact but the player unlucky, as in no intention and no initial risk. It was nasty for sure but the initial foot was not studs up. The ball just turned his foot away and made it stand on the opponent. Anyway Smiley
It was an unlucky decision which went against Jones, hard luck on the lad.

I however think the Liverpool management should let it go, all these about demanding the recordings of communication between the officials and releasing statements to explore all available options is not the drama the club needs now. Someone will say that the mistakes have been occurring more frequently and something needs to be done, but they are going about it the wrong way in my opinion and giving the impression that they suspect a conspiracy against the club.
Chelsea had what was probably their best 45 minutes of the season against a decent side. If they can pull off a win, that will probably be the catalyst they need to turn their season around.

That is not a permission that is necessary for the wallet to function. The most I have allowed a crypto wallet to do is to access my camera to scan QR codes for transfer of transaction data or to copy an address, any other permission required is denied.

I don't mind getting rid of the new phone because of this, my last one isn't asking me of this access.
This should not be necessary. You just have to verify that you did not download a malicious clone of the app, in which case you will need to delete it and clean out your device.

Well I see losing like another 7 positions this week and I am in a consistent losing mode during the recent weeks but I am not worried at all.The reason is that I see a lot of other people not doing well either in the pool and the fact that only 8 points distance from 37th place to 10th place says a lot about these standings so far.
It is good to pick up as much point as possible to be in the running for a prized finish, but you are right and we are still early in the league, very early and things can change very quickly in the space of a week or two.
The season will also be getting more unpredictable with the weeks, injuries, dips in form, change of managers and then the coming transfer window. The roller coaster is just getting started.

How is it that ref and var both make wrong call? This smells like Spanish scandal.
it was quite a ridiculous call. VAR did not even draw a line and it was obvious even to the naked eye that Luis Diaz was onside. They have released a statement admitting an error, but this is the exact reason why VAR was introduced in the first place.

But I want to point out, Liverpool red card seemed wrong. Nobody thinks so? Ball turns the foot, obvious.
In the actual play, it does not look bad, but when you watch the replay and it is slowed down to a freeze at the point of impact, then it looks nasty.
A yellow could have sufficed, but i can see why the ref changed it to red. It was a very dangerous challenge and with a bit more power can severely injure the tackled player.

So many talking points from the match, but worse off was Tottenham's performance; playing at home against 10 men for 45 minutes and then 9 men for the final 20 minutes, you should really be winning that game more convincingly than they did. Liverpool were amazing.
