Amongst the next six they'll be facing I'm not disturbed they'll lose these points to Atletico Bilbao, Alaves and some underdogs. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are my biggest problem. But if they can turn big games and share points with them it wi be awesome. Personally, I feel like it'll be a tough game for Bilbao and bot side will get to score themselves as they play this game. With Girona at the top, everyone will try to stop them from ascending higher. And don't expect too much from Barcelona and Real Madrid, they've lost huge and core players in the squad. Girona is of course aware that they will not be able to maintain the top of the standings. Real Madrid and Barcelona continue to stick closely to each other from then on and a draw will really affect the team mentally. I naturally expect a lot from Real Madrid and Barcelona because in reality these two teams are the ones who most often get out of pressure and get the best achievements. Bilbao, Valencia, Barcelona, Alaves and Real Betis are the opponents that Girona will have to face until the end of the year. I can guess that Girona will lose 3 out of 5 games especially against Bilbao, Barcelona and Real Betis, but they are too good for Alaves and Valencia. |

For now, I only think that Girona will only finish in the top four of the standings, because I think they difficulty to win the La Liga trophy if they can't beat Madrid, Barcelona and ATM. Let's say forcing the three teams to share points in each of their future meetings, if that can't happen, whatever the scenario, it will be difficult for Girona to be at the top of the standings until the end of the season. You don't have to wait long for Girona to slip up, just wait when they are completely beaten by Bilbao or Barcelona and Real Madrid will reap the benefits. Girona cannot always escape the huge pressure that exists, it comes from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid so the top position is never safe for Girona. Girona's defeat is more likely to be expected than a win. Not sure if there are any Girona fans among the posters in this thread, but there always seems to be support for them against weak teams. This week, Girona received a big challenge from Bilbao. I'm sure they will slip up, but let's see what happens. The match percentage still puts Girona ahead of Bibao, even though there is not a big difference. The preparations of both teams can be said to be very ready, because they have an international break. However, I think Michel squad will be able to secure full points in the match, because they have the advantage of playing at home. I'm not sure about that, but I'll wait for the results. |

How about have you at any time blamed the one that led you to gambling in your mind, or even told him face to face? There's no one to blame, it's just my own responsibility to love the game. I never blamed anyone who gave me cigarettes for the first time until I became addicted, the same goes for gambling because from the start I knew what the consequences would be. I get lost in games and illusions, but I don't forget that self-control and budget limits must be had so as not to have a bad impact on me and my psychology. The first article is that they are never wrong and do not deserve to be blamed. The intense curiosity about the feeling of a big win has fueled me to increase my intensity, but in the end I realized that fun should take priority over the pursuit of victory. |

I will support a community if I hit a jackpot, I mean there is this great feeling you will have if you win one of the biggest jackpot and then help a community like a rural area to dig a boreholes so they can have access to water easily instead of going far to go and get water. You will not only get personal joy but your name will remain golden in that community. I prefer to call it charity, but you certainly don't need to wait for the jackpot if you want to do charity. I don't know if world charities also help mental rehabilitation foundations for problem gamblers, but if there are then I think it's much better than giving them cash compensation. But why would I crowd fund a fellow gambler when he knows the risk involved and still went ahead. If we all follow due protocol of gambling, most this things are not to be discussed because you were not supposed to gamble with the money you need in the first place. If any gambler do that, will there be need to crowd fund a person that did an open mistake? No, I will not add a single penny.
In gambling website, it's bodly written that a gambler must be 18+ and by that if an age person have the power to gamble, they will equally have the power to take responsibility and when you take some bad actions, it has consequences which must be face without inconveniencing any person. In a previous post, I stated that Crowdfunding for problem gamblers is not an attractive idea. I don't agree with the idea for the same reasons, but I support if there is a rehabilitation foundation that can help these problem gamblers get out of their heavy addiction. Of course every gambler must be a responsible gambler, but it is never easy because most gamblers will eventually have an impact on their finances if the level of addiction has become too severe. |

No, that's not an interesting idea to me. Every gambler must be responsible for the consequences that arise as a result of his gambling habits. They must have control so as not to fall into trouble and even if they do get into trouble, then rehabilitation is what they need.
Gamblers must indoctrinate themselves not to gamble beyond their financial limits. They should not use investment money, savings, etc. that they still need to live their lives to gamble. Not sure if this idea is acceptable among gamblers, even the government will not provide compensation to losing and irresponsible gamblers.

2023/2024 EPL campaign is one of the competitive campaigns for elite teams, because we have witnessed the decline and rise of EPL clubs this season. Don't underestimate Manchester City and Liverpool because they're the main competitors in EPL and they don't easily give up on their opposition. Manchester City vs Liverpool and Newcastle vs Chelsea are the two big matches this weekend. I will enough time to watch these top games, definitely going to full actions of the Chelsea game because I'm a fan and I can't afford to missed out this season. The focus of attention in this season's title race is about Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham. The top four teams will currently try their best to win the title and create a point gap between their competitors, so it is clear that there must be tight competition when competing. Chelsea and Manchester United as well as Newcastle will fight for places in the Europa League, but Newcastle still has a good chance of returning to the top four if Tottenham lose their consistency. This week should be very tense as several matches will determine the difference in positions, so nothing should be missed. Oh yes, I didn't forget that Chelsea are starting to improve and they also have a great game at the weekend. |

Saturday star matches: 1. Manchester City Vs Arsenal 2. Newcastle Vs Chelsea I think you mean Manchester City vs Liverpool, not versus Arsenal. Correction for justification. I do not understand why I always find international breaks boring such that I do not even watch the matches. Whenever there's break, I always pray for the coming weeks to approach in order to witness league weeks. As we are about to witness another exciting EPL week, let's hear your stake about the above matches.
I think that Chelsea will be able to win Newcastle since Chelsea performance is advancing positively especially after the draw with Manchester City. In the other hand, majority of Newcastle players are still injured.
Manchester City might not be able to win Liverpool, yes I said so. I also have the same assumption about the international break, but it is an important part of preparing for a great competition in 2024. Think of it as a bonus that will unite several countrymen in one team even though some of them play for different teams in the same league. Manchester City will try to win the game against Liverpool after they lost 2 points against Chelsea. Liverpool can certainly put a lot of pressure on Manchester City because of their performance, but they are also less stable in the last 5 matches. Manchester City are not bad and Liverpool are not completely good either, so I hope this will be the best match even though Newcastle vs Chelsea can be expected to be another best match. |

Girona chances will be greater in the hunt for the La Liga trophy if favorite clubs such as Madrid, Barcelona and ATM experience a decline in performance. It is highly unlikely that these three clubs will lose their consistency in the future, allowing Girona to lead the standings throughout the season. This season La Liga has played 13 matches, there are still 25 more matches ahead, and Girona will face the three favorite clubs above 5 times, beacause first round with Madrid is over in week eight. It's quite reasonable to say that Girona will lose points when they meet three favorite teams above, because we have seen their match in Week 8 against Madrid. But we also can't judge them by the impossible, because anything can happen in football, many surprises happen that we haven't forgotten, like story Leicester City in the EPL. Girona started this season perfectly with 1 draw and 1 loss in 13 matches. I'm not sure Girona will win the race until the first half is over, but it all depends a lot on the performance of Real Madrid and Barcelona who are second and third. Several injuries experienced by Real Madrid so far will have a negative impact on the team's performance. The depth of the squad will not be exactly the same without the presence of the main players, but I am optimistic about Ancelotti's ability to make choices so that the team's performance remains stable. All it takes is consistent wins regardless of how they finish, that will only put Girona under pressure. |

The lack of a "Champion Mentality" has been shown when they often falter in crucial moments, demonstrating a lack of composure and winning mentality when it matters most, while they have shown flashes of brilliance and possess a talented squad. This inability to maintain consistency and convert promising starts into tangible achievements has become a hallmark of Arsenal's recent struggles. The lack of a winning mentality has permeated the team's culture, leading to setbacks and missed opportunities. While it may take time and effort to fully transform the team's mentality, Arsenal has the potential to break free from this pattern and establish themselves as a consistent force in the Premier League and European competitions. Arsenal has the opportunity to get out of that habit and prove that they can be the best. Arteta is fully responsible for the team's achievements and the improvements they have achieved so far, but of course Arsenal's young players must be more mental instead of letting the big opportunities in front of them disappear because they cannot control the pressure. As far as we have seen, Arsenal's struggles often fail in the last lap. Even if they start next season full speed and dynamic, but in the end they have to be willing when other teams manage to overtake at the final corner. Because Arsenal has quality, Arteta must maintain it and build a strong mentality in his players to win the title under pressure from other teams. Previously, Pep Guardiola stated that Manchester City was just a team that needed to be given experience and mentality in the Champions League, in the end they win it last season. |

Personally, so sorry to heard what happen for Barcelona's player Gavi have been over for this season competition, ACL injured make him have absent until the end of this season and potential will miss for Spain on Euro 2024. Bad impact for all club who have their player get international break out matches, its not only for Barcelona but also Real Madrid loss many players after injuring from playing with their national teams. I think get lucky with Barcelona have one player injury regarding their rival team Real Madrid loss almost five main players after injuring when playing on international break out. I don't have ideas with Spain manager regarding not really important match against Georgia, they have qualified to Euro 2024 but still using main player against the weakness opponent teams Georgia, I believe Barcelona management most angry after losing their player more than one season. Spain had to pay dearly for what Gavi experienced in that match which made him absent until the end of the season. I didn't watch the game and don't know how he got this serious injury, but it was still very detrimental to Barcelona. Barcelona may be lucky because of the arrival of De Jong, who seems to have recovered from injury, they have also got Pedri back after a long absence. Real Madrid also had to feel how bad the international break was for its main players. Real Madrid had to get some of their players injured although it wasn't as serious as Gavi who missed all his games this season. Support for Gavi continues to come and it is not only from his teammates, but it also comes from several other teams who both play in La Liga. |

If you look at the history of meetings between the two teams, Liverpool have won more matches, but if you look at the squad under Pep Guardiola, Man City is always the favourite. But in any case, this match will be the most exciting next week because apart from the meeting of these big clubs, it is not only a matter of prestige but also the fight for first place in the Premier League, of course this match is the one most eagerly awaited by league football fans. English. Interestingly, Liverpool is in high confidence after returning to a positive track. I also see that Klopp is a great coach in developing players' abilities, so when Nunez was sluggish at the start, I was fine because I was sure Klopp could make Nunez into a sharp striker. In this match, the two team attackers will prove to each other who is the best, Nunez or Haaland. H2H records are basically quite useful for making analysis about the results of the match. Based on meeting records, Manchester City tends to perform better at the Etihad stadium or home ground than Liverpool in 28 meetings. Manchester City have won 10 home games against Liverpool, lost 8 and drawn 16. As far as Pep Guardiola leads Manchester City, in my opinion the records of both teams look more in favor of Manchester City. They are no longer as weak as before and Manchester City has become a competitive team against dominant teams in the Premier League such as Liverpool. I'm trying to remain neutral in analyzing this match, so I think Manchester City have the squad depth that looks ready to beat Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium this season. But if Haaland really has to be absent due to injury, then I think a draw is very logical. |

That is very correct, I agree with you that the problems experienced by Manchester United are very complex, so any efforts made will lead to setbacks. A comprehensive reform of the team is needed, so that everyone achieves harmony in thinking and taking a stance to build the club. Quite curious at what point management will provide a guarantee for Ten Hag, even though we know Ten Hag is an unlucky coach and not a bad coach. I think the limit of tolerance given by club officials towards Ten Hag is the UCL group phase, and if he fails to get United to the last 16 then his career will soon be over. It is true that with Ajax he can achieve success, that is what makes European clubs look at him if in the end Ten Hag and United end their cooperation. The depth of Manchester United's squad is a problem that must be resolved by management. Some of the main players do not have competition for the positions they occupy, so coaches are confused about rotating these players with better players. This results in the growth of egos among players so that sometimes they do not play as expected and can even be detrimental to their own team. For one position there should be two players with good quality. They need to have competition to be a major player in the line-up, but Manchester United have had none so far. Even if Ten Hag rotates his main players with reserve players, then Manchester United will be no different from an ordinary team. |

Almost every season Manchester City dominance for winning Premier League tittle but I don't sure their achievement is easily regarding with fewest points left from 2nd standings team. Crucial on season 2021/22 where one point remaining from Liverpool and last season achievement Manchester City gap 5 points behind Arsenal and their achievement when league almost ended. I don't think easily for Manchester City defend their Champion League tittle, in Champion League history only Real Madrid can winner two season in a row and not any team can't winning it. Not easily for Manchester City defend their Champion League tittle in this season because have Madrid, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan on the top level will make it more interested who will be the winner. Looks like if not any injury players, Real Madrid have bigger opportunity to be the winner and Inter Milan on second place as favorite team. I cannot justify something that is usually mentioned although it is true that it is always difficult to defend the Champions League title in two consecutive seasons. It is not impossible, Manchester City has a great squad and coach to make history in the Champions League by defending the title in two consecutive seasons. They have a good mentality, squad depth and good moral support because of their performance. Real Madrid, for whatever reason, is not the favorite main team in the Champions League this season. I have no regrets about it, but Real Madrid still very much deserved it this season after failing last season. This competition is still in the group stage and it is still possible to have some changes after entering the knockout stages. Manchester City are the main favorites this season, that's undeniable although I don't think City will be able to do it. |

The thing is, it's not easy at all. However, Ten Hag has proven it last season. Only this time it's different, the United camp was really having problems both inside and outside. One by one, problems came to them, starting with the acquisition of a club which had an impact on the club's management, limited spending budget, several players who were having problems with each other personally, both Antony with his case, Sancho with his coach, several players who started to be undisciplined and also selfish. Plus, many players were injured. In the end, Ten Hag had difficulty restoring the performance of his team's squad. Naturally, any coach with conditions like this would have quite a hard time getting his team back. at the very least, he takes time and solves his problems one by one. So, it's not that Ten Hag was unable to take advantage of time and momentum. As a coach, especially as Ten Hag is known for his hard work and discipline, he will always try to optimize his team's squad. Unfortunately, it's not easy, especially as new problems always arise. moreover, which related bad rumors about him and several players. I think if United finally fires the coach, it won't take long for him to find a new club which is also a big team. After all, its performance has been proven. although in some cases, Ten Hag made blunders. and for me it's natural, because no matter what, mistakes will always be there. The problems facing Manchester United are very complex and make it difficult for them to shine again in the Premier League. Ten Hag and his players have their own egos, so performance problems will not really be resolved if one of the two does not lower his ego in order to achieve what is planned. Ten Hag was known as a great coach at Ajax, but he seemed to have lost his prowess in strategizing when coaching Manchester United. He is not the only coach who will be considered a failure, but several other well-known coaches have also failed at Manchester United. I don't think Ten Hag will get more time and opportunity to improve Manchester United's form this season if they fail in the Champions League group stages, meaning I believe he will be sacked. |

The news has sadden too many Real Madrid fans and Madrid lovers around the world. Now, too much have been said about the matter of Vinicius Junior and other Injured players. Real Madrid did well without Vinicius Junior for a while and I'm certain that they make it soft even if they won't be without some key players. Joselu should step up if he wants to remain as a long term Real Madrid player, I've read of him saying he hopes to have his contract extended with Real Madrid. I don't see that happening because, he has barely showed up for Real Madrid. I want to see him step up in the absence of these players. If you are a true Real Madrid fan, all I can say is don't worry. Real Madrid has other players who can be relied on to fill the position of the injured Vinicius, as well as other injured players. The problem at the moment is that Real Madrid does not have a stock of players with the same quality as the injured players, so of course there will be bad consequences because of this storm of injuries. The impact of a decline in performance is very possible, but I don't expect it to happen which results in the loss of several points for Real Madrid. Good hope also remains. As a big team, Real Madrid will not completely lose its fighting power just because it loses several players due to injury. The next match will not be tough, so it will not affect Real Madrid's probability of winning. Cadiz are playing at home, but they are a weak team that is likely to be easy for Ancelotti's men to handle. |

Remaining two points behind Luton Town as latest from relegation position its not really huge problem for Everton keep stay in Premier League next season after 10 points deduction. Have 26 matches left its more enough to secure minimum 41 points keep stay in Premier League competition, have advantage with current standings teams until 15th position behind collected 12 points will not difficult for Everton get finish target outside from relegation zone. Realistic with Everton target in this season is how to make their position keep secure in premier league, they should focus on upcoming match against Manchester United after international break out and should take three points. Before half season, Everton should out from relegation zone if want make easy how to defend position in Premier League. Last season Everton was only able to win 8 matches and draw 12 from 38 matches, but they only had 2 points more than relegated Leicester. Everton were only saved by matchday 38 last season, otherwise they would also have been relegated. Of course this season they have the chance to stay in the Premier League, but in my opinion it is not easy for those whose performance has been inconsistent in the last two seasons. But either way, Everton can still be expected to find themselves this season. They need to work hard to prove that and personally I believe they can do it. They just need more effort and hard work after being deducted points, but they are still better than some other teams such as Luton Town and Bournemouth if they don't get deducted 10 points. |

That's why international matches feel almost as intense as going to war between countries. It's nerve-wracking both ways, but that's our football – they've to perform duties on both the international and club stages. Unfortunately, Real Madrid's injury list just keeps getting longer. This time, Vinícius Jr will be out for at least two and a half months after getting a thigh injury against Colombia match. It's bad news, but Madrid has to keep going. Let's just hope that, no matter how tough it gets, Madrid will still manage to survive it. This was news I really didn't want to hear, but it couldn't be helped because it all happened. Player injuries are something that will be very worrying for all teams, including Real Madrid. Vinicius is a reliable winger who is able to create many goal opportunities for his team to win, but unfortunately we have to lose him for a while until his injury problem is resolved. Concerns about injuries suffered by Real Madrid's main players at this time will clearly increase. I hope the team's performance won't be too affected as long as the other players are able to do their job well, but still the team and its game will be affected by the injury problem. To date, 8 Real Madrid players have suffered injuries. It is a big challenge for Ancelotti to maintain his team's form while this player is injured, but I am very worried that the injuries suffered by Vinicius and Bellingham will make Real Madrid's attack power even weaker. Joselu and Rodrygo cannot always be expected, but I just hope for the best because if not then Real Madrid will very likely lose in the next few matches. |

Everton have been at the bottom of the standings for a few years now and at the end of every season they are fighting to stay in the EPL... These 10 points are very important for them because they have 14 points from 12 games... So now they are in danger of not being able to climb out of the relegation zone before the end of the season... There is no threat too early for Everton because this season is still very long. There are the next 26 matches that could see Everton return to mid-table or enter the top 10 because perhaps all the teams above them will slip due to changes in their form of play. I'm sure the points deduction they received will affect the team and its form, but they have to recover and get into good form in each of the next games. After all, this is not the end of everything for them and honestly they will learn a lot from their mistakes from now on. Everton's performance in the last two seasons has indeed declined and they tend to struggle hard at the bottom to avoid relegation. Of course, they have to be very careful if they don't want to be relegated this season, especially after getting 10 points deducted for their mistake. |

AC Milan not so much anymore as they did show some deficits that I thought they wouldn't have. Since they began with great attacking performances, I did not expect them to have so many problems scoring goals while having so many chances. I would rather add Inter Milan to the selection of clubs that have a good chance to win the Champions League title. Manchester City seemed to be unbeatable last season, but I agree that this season it's not quite like that. Milan looks likely to make an early exit from the Champions League this season due to its very inconsistent performance. Not only in the Champions League, but they also performed dubiously in Serie A where they lost a lot of points in their last 4 matches. I know Milan are in a difficult group in the Champions League, but if they can really play with their best quality then of course their chances will be better. Now Milan only has 2 chances in the next 2 matches. They can use it well to win, but I'm sure it will be difficult considering that other teams also hope to win it to qualify for the round of 16. The odds are not good, but they can maximize it if they really want to qualify. |

It's hard to do that. Intermilan may be going defensively against juventus. Old lady shall not be playing openly against intermilan. Intermilan is a club that was using direct counter attack as its weapon. Lautaro martinez will become the main threat for juventus. I think that there is no club that was underestimating its opponent. It may be probably the fans. Juventus needs to be careful with counter attack from intermilan. Allegri needs to put someone who is capable enough in guarding lautaro. I have picked double chance juventus or intermilan win. The risk is high to pick one of them. Both teams are equally strong in defense, but Inter have a more productive goal record than Juventus so far. Inter, who are playing away from home, are still very confident of winning, but Juventus cannot be underestimated, especially as this is a home game for them. Moreover, Juventus are also unbeaten in their 6 home games this season in Serie A, so Inter will have to do something better if they want to win 3 points. Inter's away record is also good as they have not dropped a single point in their 5 away games this season. So I think this is the most interesting match to look forward to even though Atalanta vs Napoli is also interesting. I expect changes to the standings that will benefit Milan, but Milan must make sure they can beat Fiorentina. |
