I have noticed a trend that now coaches who have ever worked with Guardiola are highly valued (Kompany - Bayern, Maresca - Chelsea), and if the first one is quite young and has not yet proven his skills with impressive results, then Maresca was able to win the Championship, which looks very earnestly. He is already discussing summer transfers with the management, for now it is reported that he wants to buy a goalkeeper and a defender.
Guardiola is a very talented coach and any one thag trained under him will surely have gained a lot of knowledge from him, Arteta, Maresca, kompany are one of the managers that have worked with him and they must have learned some BBB few things while working under him so i am not surprised when they start exhibiting some talent. Arteta have shown the world that working with Guardiola was worth it and now is leading Arsenal to one of their best seasons ever, no trophies won yet but i believe soon they will win something.

Chelsea’s choice of coach is really good i just hope they will be patient enough with him if things doesn’t work out soon enough.

It's simple everyone supports the winning side Smiley
Barcelona  plays exceptionally good but their problem  is there're limited good finishers  to bring In victory for them, injuries is killing the club slowly, pedri  just recovered  from an  injury only (not completely) only for Frankie and Gavi  to take on Injury,Balde almost had another injury but he was rested .

I hope the next coach will be able to manage the team, they play well but they need to change their strategies  as its not working out so good on the club . Despite the injury  season the team is still maintaining  it position on the league.

Barcelona are not a bad side, they play good football but at the beginning of the season they were struggling and lost some points but they later got back on their feet and were still able to retain second place. They were facing injury challenges, some key players were out injured for some weeks players like Gavi, Pedri, De Jong, Aroujo and Balde all struggled with injuries this season and they were all important players that could have changed the story of the team this season. Sometimes things like this happens, it happened to Chelsea as well as other clubs too but the manager just have to manage the team the best possible way.

Parting ways with Xavi i don’t know if it was the best decision for the club but Xavi was never a bad coach i just hope they don’t regret their decision of replacing Xavi. I think if Xavi had more funds to sign more quality players they would have performed better than did.

With next season I think Xabi Alonso will do his best for his team. It is true that defending the title will be difficult because the competition will definitely get tougher in the new season. Also, with Leverkusen being a very good team at the moment, I think they will maintain it and become an even bigger team, but it will be a difficult journey for them.
Defending the title will definitely be difficult because every team will want to be prepared to give a bigger challenge this time around, Bayern Munich who performed poorly this season will not want to repeat the same mistakes as last season they will be even more prepared to retain their title. They are about to sign a new coach and hopefully they will be back to their normal form. Alonso might find it difficult especially if he doesn’t sign new players to the team. Defending the title will be difficult but i believe retaining a spot in the champions league is likely to happen.

Leverkusen has really performed extraordinary this season. Even though it was very unfortunate they had to lose to Atalanta. Even though that one match would make them the only team in history with a perfect record throughout the season! It is a record that is impossible to repeat even for Leverkusen themselves. Maybe this will be one of the most memorable seasons.
I felt bad for them when they lost the Europa League final because i knew it was the only difficult match left for the season and if they can win it ending the season with a perfect record is very like to happen because the final of the season is against a division B side and in a final so there is no excuses for not winning the match. It was unfortunate they had to lose but they still had a wonderful season. Let’s see if they can replicate the same performance this coming season.

Manchester United has a terrible this season with their poor performance right from the beginning of the this season tiil when the season was coming to an end they come they make their performance more betters. But I didn't have so blame for their players, although that their goalkeeper onana is the causes some of the goal they if to say the way they have some changes when the season was coming to finished that's how they make changing from the starting of the season they come to first or second place in the table.
I don’t think their performance was better in the end because they lost their spot of qualifying for European competition towards the end of the season and struggled to win matches. Just because they managed to win the FA Cup final doesn’t mean they had a good performance towards the end of the season, their style of play of play is was not really convincing and consistent at all but with the FA Cup trophy it seems they have achieved something for the season and it’s not bad.

Onana has his flaws too but the defense is their major weakness and that is the reason why they conceded too many goals. They need to work on their defense if they really want to improve their game for next season and when Onana is facing less shots per match it will reduce their conceding rate.

In my opinion Xavi is not really a terrible coach because with what he achieved at Barcelona despite managing a team that is financially struggling he was still able to lift the La Liga trophy. I also don’t want him at Chelsea but imagine what he would be able to achieve with a team that is financially stable. So with that i think Xavi will go to become a good coach in future.
I don't think that Barcelona is financially struggling or perhaps we don't know them as the media potray them. If Xavi is aware of yhe club financial situation, no way they are going to allow him signed Lewandowski and be earning such amount. He was in his prime in Bayern Munich and a great striker but there are other options available for them to look into but yet he went for that and currently earning highest money in that club.
It was not hidden that they were financially unstable because a lot of players had to go through a paycut in their wages to relief the team a little bit, Lewandowski also had to go through aa pay cut as well and not just the players even Xavi himself had to cut down his wages all for the love he has for the team. He was well aware of their financial condition but the team needed a top class striker after Suarez left and Lewandowski made it clear he wanted to join only Barcelona, when he joined he wasn’t at his prime as you said he was already approaching the ending days of his career. His caliber cannot earn lower than what he earns that’s why he is paid such amount and Barcelona desperately needed his services.

Maresca was able to brought Leicester City from the sham manager that made them relegated but you think Leicester will come this far to sell Maresca to Chelsea, if they sell him for Chelsea even at expensive price, who will help them maintain the Premier League tournament. It's better he stick to what he knows than been drag in the mud by Chelsea fans.
They already gave Chelsea the green light to proceed with talks with the manager’s camp and they are already in advanced talks and the deal is likely to happen very soon.

Conte to Chelsea in this era is the wrong move and that will definitely send Chelsea closer to relegation; the squad is very younge and also expensive; Chelsea needs a good tactician and great manager to manage the squad, nagglesman comes to mind tbh

Conte won’t fit well at all
We have xavi and why does chelsea need naglesmann? it doesn't even make sense to see that considering the fact that if chelsea needs a visioner coach who can develop the young talent. What chelsea needs is xavi. Xavi is jobless now and it will be great if chelsea will try to pursuit him as a new coach for the club.

There are so many great coaches available for chelsea this time. The final decision will be on todd's hand whether he will be willing to recruit him as a new coach.

Why is Xavi in Chelsea? To try to make a second Barcelona with a squad that was assembled by 5 different coaches? This move seems most dubious to me. Both Conte and Nuggelsman would be a good option, but don’t expect miracles from Chelsea - in any case, their ceiling is top 4 next season. If they get there it will be a success.
In my opinion Xavi is not really a terrible coach because with what he achieved at Barcelona despite managing a team that is financially struggling he was still able to lift the La Liga trophy. I also don’t want him at Chelsea but imagine what he would be able to achieve with a team that is financially stable. So with that i think Xavi will go to become a good coach in future.

Of all the coaches you mentioned i don’t see anything special in them, Conte was once our coach and he is known for his defensive strategy and considering the caliber of players in Chelsea i don’t think that style of play would suit them. As for Nuggelsman he is also good but Chelsea needs a coach that would be able to manage these youngsters properly.

Currently Chelsea are in advanced talks with Enzo Maresca the coach who led Leicester City back the premier league again. From his Tactics being analyzed and Leicester City’s current style of play i think he is good tactically and should be able to manage these Chelsea youngsters properly.

Al Nassr succeeded in getting a 2-2 draw at away against Al Riyadh with one red card. Even though this is not to be much celebrated, they ought to be proud that they could avoid losing even with one man down. It is really something to build upon in the coming season because most times will despair as soon as they are issued a red card, besides not every coach knows how to manage such situations.
From what i observed in the game Al Nassr were only punished for the chances they missed, they missed a lot of goal scoring chances that could have led to massive win if the goals were scored. Cristiano Ronaldo did everything possible to score but ended up missing the chances he had and got frustrated iin the game, he knew he should’ve scored at least twice in the match but failed, same happened to Mane as well but they were lucky other players came to their rescue.

I wouldn’t say they were lucky to draw i would say they were unlucky not to have won the game because they dominated the game and had more goal scoring opportunities but were unlucky not to have scored them. Despite being a man down the still controlled the game and pushed for the win but unfortunately they had to settle for a loss.

Now Al-nassr is competing against AL-ittihad. And Al-Nassr was ahead by 1 goal scored by Cristiani Ronaldo at the end of the first half.

The score is 4-2 currently as the game is about to end, Ronaldo scored 2 goals to break the record of most goals scored in a single season in the Saudi league. Previous record was 34 goals in a single season now Ronaldo equaled the record and went on to set a new record of 35 goals in a season. What an achievement by CR7 he doesn’t seem to be slowing down even at this age.
89  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 27, 2024, 02:16:08 PM
The last match in Serie A this season will be between Atalanta and Fiorentina... Atalanta are already Europa League champions... Fiorentina have their final match in the Conference League coming up... Both clubs have performed very well this season and achieved good results in the European Leagues... It will be interesting if Fiorentina also become champions... Then this match will be between the two champions, the Italian Super Cup... Grin
Atlanta i would say had a very good season after winning the Europa League trophy and also with the possibility of ending the season at 3rd place ahead of Juventus if they win Fiorentina while already booking a spot for next season champions league.

Fiorentina on the other hand have performed averagely and ended their season at 8th place qualifying for the Europa Conference League qualification to participate in the competition next season. Just like Atlanta they also have the opportunity to win the Conference league final, and if they do it will be good achievement for Italian football. Not a bad season but they can perform better next season to fight for the top 4.

I think we need to wait until mempool dump and fees decreases to start saying that Bitcoin halving has started and then we have to wait several months to see its actual effect.
Then the halving date should have been set for when the fees decreases. Everyone anticipated the halving and were all happy for it’s arrival but not everyone is happy with the high fees during the halving period. I also think we should all assume halving haven’t started yet until we start seeing it’s effects.

This is actually my first bitcoin halving experience so i don’t know much about halving or how it went the last time, did people have similar experience of high transaction fees in the past? Because what we were told about halving is quite different from what is happening now.

With halving not having effects now does that mean bull run will also be extended as well? Since we have to wait several months to start seeing halving effect.

Bayer Leverkusen treble accomplishment shattered and they have to settle for two titles this season. The DFB-Pokal was important for Bayer Leverkussen after failing to win Atalanta in the Europa League final. They've been one the promising club this season with just a defeat. Xabi Alonso is currently the main instrument, he has helped his club deliver good news and will always do the pushing moves to making things running smoothly.
It was surprising to us all how Leverkusen ended up losing to Atlanta because with the way they have performed throughout the entire season no one expected them to lose to Atlanta. It could have been a treble for them but winning two trophies is not bad and they still had a wonderful season regardless.

Xabi Alonso is really doing a great job handling the team and he seemed like the main instrument just as you mentioned but the players are also have a very vital role in the success of the team so i feel it’s too early to conclude that Alonso is the key instrument. Let’s wait and see how it goes this coming season before we conclude if he is the mastermind behind the success story, and if he does maintain same momentum even after losing some players then he needs to applauded because i am confident that one or two players will leave the club anad more players will be added.

Arsenal will clearly be able to provide new experience to Michael Olise because if he joins there, he will be able to play in the Champions League next season. However, it seems that what determines it is not Olise's wishes, but rather will be influenced by the amount of money that Crystal Palace can obtain from the deal, and which team really has the seriousness to sign Michael Olise. Whatever the result, it is still a good thing for Michael Olise's career because both Chelsea, Man United, and Arsenal are good teams and could be the right place for him to continue to improve, and get bigger wages.
You are right, of all teams interested in Olise currently i think Arsenal will be a suitable team for him to play because of their current style of play but there are things to be considered like the demanding price by crystal palace if Arsenal will be willing to pay such price. Knowing that several teams are showing interest Crystal Palace will be asking for a higher price because of the competition and i don’t think Arsenal will pay huge amount for him. Let’s say Arsenal was able to sign him will Olise be on the bench for Saka? With such amount spent and considering his talent will he settle as a substitute or will Arteta find a way to play him?

Chelsea has cole palmer and Madueke already so he might struggle for playing time at Chelsea too and Manchester United is known to be a team that kills talent so I wouldn’t advise him to sign for Manchester United.
93  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 26, 2024, 11:59:31 AM
Every elite team should be ready for next season because there's more coming and I must commend the fierce competitive race between these clubs. Manchester United was weak but they didn't settle for less and grabbed important results in the FA Cup final. Erik Ten Hag and his squad won Manchester United the FA Cup and this is another title added to their collection in just two seasons the club coach have stayed.
With the fierce competition in the Premier League this season i think we should be getting ready to see an even more intense competition this coming season. I think the title race and top 4 battle will be among more teams than we have seen because i now believe Chelsea will do everything in their power to try to challenge for the title or at least finish in the top 4 and play in the champions league because it been a while they had an appearance in the competition.

Manchester United are also looking to improve their game and challenge for the top 4 as well so they also don’t miss out in the champions league again, meanwhile Arsenal and Liverpool will be looking to improve their performance to dethrone Manchester City and win the league.

I’d rather see my team perform well just like Arsenal and go a season without a trophy and hoping to win one soon than win a trophy at the end of the season after performing woefully just like Manchester United did. Winning the FA cup doesn’t justify anything, Ten Hag is not good enough to the team to high standards so they shouldn’t be deceived by the trophies won. No player in the team is performing at his best so it means the manager doesn’t know how to manage his players properly.

Have anyone noticed that the reason why some persons post go off the topic is because they don't read the entire op writing before they reply to a thread, some persons respond to a thread based on the caution of the topic and that is why we meet up different opinions or suggestions that is not in lines what the OP points of view.
Sometimes the title of a post describes the entire post briefly making it more easier to understand and make replies to but that doesn’t always mean one should not read the body of the post because the main write ups may contain certain information that the title might not contain. Why are people too lazy to read a post entirely when they know off topic replies are deleted by mods, why risk your efforts for nothing when it will only take you about 5 minutes to read.

Secondly, when someone have written what you want to write in same thread you have to give off, instead of making a pointless point, I know very well that many users in forum make off topic because what I outlined.
This happens because most people don’t necessarily read through other people’s replies thats why they end up making similar replies while some will ignore just to increase post count and activity or meet up signature criteria. I think that’s one of the reasons moderators were appointed to keep watch and filter out such post that are not supposed to exist.

United won the Manchester derby. It was really strange that City couldn't win this game despite having a full squad. Even though they focused on the game and had the ball throughout the match, they couldn't win. United managed to win the match with goals in the first half and won the cup.United performed poorly in the league but at least ended the season with a trophy
Big congratulations to Manchester United because nobody believed they could win this game not even their fans too. Everyone thought Manchester City will humiliate them once again and claim victory to become the FA cup champions but United pulled off a stunt and take Manchester City by surprise. Good work for being able to defend their goals.

Had it been Arsenal didn’t lose to Aston Villa and lose points that would’ve seen them go ahead of Manchester City they could’ve won the league and Manchester City could have ended the season without winning any trophy. Arsenal was the one that ended up without winning a trophy this season so does it mean that Manchester United had a better season than Arsenal? To me i think they do because Arsenal have nothing to show for it.

Big revolution in Serie A for the next Year.

Sarri left Lazio
Mou left Roma
Allegri left Juventus
Pioli left Inter

4 ot the best teams have or will have a new coach.

For Juventus we will probably have Motta in the bench, for Milan we may have Fonseca.
The news of coaches being sacked, or leaving a club by mutual agreement is what is in the trend now, and it is not just in the Seria A.
In the EPL,
Klopp out from Liverpool,
Pochettino out from Chelsea,
Erik Ten Hag out  from Manchester United,
De Zerbi out from Brighton
David Moyes out from West ham

In Spain,
Xavi out from Barcelona

In Germany,
Tuchel out from Bayern Munich.

With the changes in coaches, each team affected in each league may have something different to offer next season.
It’s surprising how most of these clubs are changing their coaches though some will be leaving at mutual agreement while some were sacked. It will definitely affect some clubs just as it did to Napoli after they won the league last season and started to struggle when while Lucciano Spalletti left at mutual consent and some clubs will be lucky to still retain their performance despite bringing in a new coach.

Moyes performance was getting worse and they needed to replace him, i have not heard any news yet about Manchester United and Ten Hag parting ways but there are rumors of it already, Ten Hag needs to be replaced because the team’s performance seem to be getting worse every new season. Tuchel is not deserving to be Bayern Munich coach next season, i don’t know how difficult it is to coach a ready made team that always dominate the league but Tuchel led them to their worst season winning no trophy at all.

Xavi have already been replaced by Hansi Flick, i don’t know why they had to replace him but i think only Barca fans can answer this question properly but to me i feel Xavi is not a bad coach. Despite managing a team with low finances and not being able to sign relevant players he was still able to compete with Real Madrid and also winning the league as well so he deserves some credit for that. Let’s see how Flick will be able to manage a team with low finance

It’s time for Kloop to leave Liverpool after spending many years with the club and winning them trophies so i think their is always an end to anything with a beginning.

Atmosphere at Chelsea is completely down with the sacking of Pochettino because things were looking impressive and fans were expecting something positive for the next season, but suddenly we are having another dilemma which is going to have huge negative impact because same bad decision done by Boehly which bring this team at the terrible point and now again all indications are clearly going for the another terrible season which can bring disastrous for the fans which were feeling happy.
Some people are rejoicing while some are sad that Pochettino was fired, i am sure the management has their reasons for taking such decision. Changing coaches every now and then will definitely affect the players, after getting used to Pochettino style they will now be forced to learn the ways of the new coach.

Pochettino tried to make the team younger and he tried to the best he could to improve Chelsea but he could not get the results they wanted to see and that's why they fired him while Pochettino was not the problem in Chelsea.  
Pochettino really tried his best to elevate Chelsea and towards the end of the season we saw some quality in the team and they were able to reach 6th place despite having a rough start. Although from the start of the season a lot of things improved compared to when Potter was in charge like the number of chances created per match even though the result was still the same. One of the major problem with Pochettino was his reluctance to select his first choice of players, rotating the starting lineup every time will not be of any help and i think it was the reason why he failed to have good results.

People think Manchester City will beat Manchester United easily considering Manchester City already won Premier League, but people forget with this guy :



Antony is the only player that on the same level like Messi and Ronaldo, even Mbappe or Haaland didn't even close to Antony. Although the match haven't start yet, but I already know it's over, Manchester United win 6-0, Antony scored double hattrick.
I don’t think this is funny but i know you are trying to make a joke out of this, everyone know how terrible Anthony is and i think he is one of the worst signings ever. 100 million used to sign him was a waste, he is a total failure and the fact that he is being benched by an academy player proves how worthless he is. 

On that day i am sure he will still sit on the bench for Amad who has proven himself in recent matches and has shown he has got what it takes to secure the right wing. Saying Anthony is on the same level with Messi and Ronaldo even jokingly is a shame on football and our legends because thats the worst comparison anyone wants to hear.

Manchester City are the favorites to win but we know how football can be sometimes, we might see the impossible happening. Manchester City have every advantage over Manchester United to win the trophy.

You won't see Rashford there.  Grin  Because I believe he doesn't deserve it after this horrible performance this year. I appreciate Southgate's choice. There are some new names to play in an official tournament for the first time. Such as Gordon, Mainoo, Quansah, Trafford as far as I can see.

Palmer can also be considered like that though as his playing time is really not much. He has had an amazing season.  Smiley

England has a really great squad and maybe this is their time, we will see...
Rashford performance was not impressive this season so I didn’t expect to see him among the list of players called up for Euro. I was not impressed with Southgate’s choices though, there are some players not included that i was surprised of because they have had a pretty good season and deserves to be included.

Sancho is a good example, he will be playing the champions league final in a bit and since he left Manchester United he has been on fire and his performance are not so bad so i expect to see his name included in the squad.

I expected to see Harvey Elliot in the squad in place of Curtis Jones because Elliot has been more important for Liverpool this season and his contributions to their game was impressive. Jones was out injured most of the time and that didn’t allow him to have a decent season.

Also they gave an excuse about Chilwell and James not included due to injury but Luke shaw who hass been out for many weeks and still recovering was included. That doesn’t sit well to me at all.
