Exactly, Dortmund are not yet qualified because there is only one goal difference, and they are coming to psg's home, which will be a difficult game for Dortmund that night because psg will not play at home and will not make any mistakes at home. Dortmund will play a defense game with psg next week to secure the one goal difference. PSG has never won the Champions League, and this season is their best chance because if Mbappe leaves the club next season, I doubt they will find a better player than him again. Let's see who gets the opportunity to advance to the final this season.
True. Dortmund is leading the aggregate, but they didn't qualify for the final round yet. It will be a difficult match in Leg 2, PSG must play more offensive and try to score as many as possible. But it will be the advantage for Dortmund if they can score a goal faster in the first half of the match in Leg 2. If this happens, the chance of Dortmund to qualify will be higher. So, I think it will depend on how Dortmund can optimize the chance of scoring fast goal in the early of next match, and they also need to keep leading the aggregate.

Real Madrid are the favorites to get to the final this season because it will be extremely tough for Madrid to lose a game at home, and Ancelotti will do everything in his power to defeat Bayer Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu next week. Tuchel is a fantastic coach, and with his Champions League experience, Ancelotti must exercise caution with him. the fact that Real Madrid drew against Bayern Munich in the first leg at Munich's home will prevent them from defeating Tuchel. Football is unpredictable, but in my opinion with how Real Madrid's current form, I doubt Munich will have an opportunity to face them this season.
It is the advantage for Real Madrid because they could make it a draw in Leg 1 and they played at home in Leg 2. In theory, I think Real Madrid will win the match, specifically all the main players of Real Madrid has recovered. Only Alaba is injured, other injured players have been recovered already. Courtois also has played, this will make Real Madrid defense stronger. With this condition, Real Madrid players must feel more confident to win the match in Leg 2. I no doubt to favor Real Madrid to qualify for the final round.


History could repeat itself actually  Grin
Psg coming back once again  just like they did to Barcelona
Realmadrid  could end up loosing  just as Mancity losed at home
Or we could just experience a whole phase of playing  although we know those that have the upper hands  already , maybe we need some proofing  and we might not be quick in judging  Smiley

In my own opinion, the match between psg vs dortmund is still a very much open game no doubt, because one nil victory is nothing, and it can be easily over turned especially for a quality team as psg, and one of the biggest downfall of dortmund would be if they think they have a very good advantage, and they stop playing their pattern that have taken them this far, and they choose to be defensive, I think they will have their self to blame if they feels like one nil Victory in their previous match against psg would be enough for them to qualify.

So I think that in Paris, the psg team will come out attacking in full force no doubt, because they are quite aware that a one nil scorelines can be easily over turned, especially now that they are at home, so in my opinion, for dortmund to be able to progress in this particular encounter, they actually need to play their normal attacking game that they are used to, besides, the best way to defend, is to attack, but it's really going to be a fascinating encounter no doubt.

I understand why he is getting trolled and I understand why a lot of people are actually saying he is selfish or he is trash and even saying that he is not good enough for Liverpool. But at the end of the day, they forget to understand that he is still a very important player for Liverpool. without him, Liverpool is probably not going to be able to have the same level of success that they have in attacking. I think it is already almost certain that Liverpool will not be winning the English Premier League title this season. They are finishing probably on the third position at best. I think everyone expected a better performance from them. But it is what it is. What I want to say is that, at the end of the day the failure of a team is not because of only one player playing badly in a few matches. Mohamed Salah is still important in my opinion. But of course, other people may have a different opinion.


Your right about this mate, it socks that most people blame one person for the failure of an entire team, I know that Mohamed salah is quite a selfish player and loves to take all the glory to himself, and he even portrayed this attitude against mane when he was at Liverpool, there was this rumor that he played a role in the selling of mane but irrespective of that I still recognise that he is a good player and has lead the team to so many victories before, we can't expect expect to do everything cause he is the best player on the pitch, his teammates also need to support him too. But at the end of the day his character is his undoing and he must fix that.

I just think that they are just making mo Salah the escape goat here, now thing's aren't going the way of Liverpool,  let's not forget that this particular player have been in Liverpool for a very long time and he has proven himself over and over again on how good and consistent he is, so all this him been a selfish player was never talk about them, so why now?

People that are trying to pin the blame on him are just funny too me, because if you remove the goals of mo Salah in this team, it's going to be very clear the higher importance of mo Salah in this team, and lastly, I think that the attacking play of Liverpool has declined a little bit because their firepower now is not as good as when they have the perfect three men in attack, which was Salah, mane and firmino, so in essence of all this is that, they should just let the guy to breath, because a tree cannot make a forest.

4 Points become meaningless if in the end Manchester City gain momentum and manage to get 3 points in their remaining matches that have not been played so at this time apart from Arsenal who must remain consistent in their remaining 2 matches (Arsenal have played 36 matches) then they must also continue to hope that Mancehsetr City does not get good results.
The positions of Arsenal and Man City are really risky for each other. This is quite similar to what happened last season. where Arsenal was at the top of the standings but couldn't win because Man City could take over in the last match. Arsenal's only hope is that Man City will lose to Tottenham's next match. because Tottenham is the only club that is considered the strongest to play recently. However, it looks like it won't work. because Pep will definitely do his best to win. Yes, that was their way to turn things around and then take over the first position. Yes, even though Arsenal is currently in first place, there are no guarantees in the future, because Man City is in runner up and with a point difference of only 1 point, and still has 1 match left, has a very high chance of winning and took over the first position currently held by Arsenal.


And for this week, both Man City and Arsenal have succeeded in crushing their opponents very optimally... their dominance and attacks are unstoppable and make their opponents unable to move. Both got 3 points with their many goals created.

Well, that's why this league is considered the most difficult in the world so far, because the PL teams are very good, they all have their high level to play, nothing more than the fight between Arsneal and City is an example, I would personally say that City has a better chance of winning the PL so they are a more consistent team in their results, of course Arsenal are doing very well, although they are not as consistent but so far they have to be very good and have Improved things because otherwise the PL title will be ruined for them again.

Erling Haaland brutally cuts down Roy Keane with cutting 13 word response



Quote
Erling Haaland laughed off Roy Keane's criticism of his play and said he pays little notice to what 'that man' has to say.

Former United great Keane has an ugly history with the Haalands, having effectively ended the career of Alfie Haaland - Erling's dad - when he was City captain in 2003 with an horrific challenge that he later admitted was pre-meditated to cause harm. Despite being one of the more positive voices around City in the media, Keane made headlines recently when he compared Haaland's build-up play to that of a League Two player.

Source: https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/erling-haaland-brutally-cuts-down-29115211

First of all, I dispute to his statement that the English premier league is the most difficult in the world, to me, it's just the media hype and what most English nationals think towards their league, because to me, the English league is no longer what is used to be, right now, it's now a famers league, yes I said so, because pep guardiola has made it so, when he came to Manchester city, almost everyone was saying that he can't do what he did with Bayern Munich in Germany and Barcelona in Spanish league, but let's just take a look at his Manchester city team as of today, they have practically turns this league into a famers league, this particular season will make it four times straight, something that no team in the history of the league have done, so in my own opinion, the English premier league is not as competitive as it used to be, it's now a farmers league.

And as for  roy Keane, it's a very big shame that he is being paid a whole lot of money to be talking nonsense and biasly, because if Erling halaand was a Manchester united player, I believe that by now, they would have even over hyped him more than his current level, but since he is a Manchester city player, they would definitely criticize him at any slit opportunity.

The Manchester City team is going to face these teams in the next four matches. Wins against Wolves and Fulham in the next two games will not be a difficult task for City. These two teams are not in good form. Tottenham is a strong team though. However, the team is now in a very bad state after losing the last three matches. West Ham team is also not in good form. City can win all four games if they perform a bit cautiously with Tottenham and West Ham.
from the match schedule, we can confirm that Man City will not have an opponent that will make it difficult for this team to win the EPL title, even though Spurs will be a slightly difficult opponent to beat, but Guardiola knows how to be consistent in the remainder of this match.
there are only 4 matches left that Man City must make good use of and in terms of current performance Man City is still ready to overcome any obstacles and for me there are no difficulties that will be faced.
we all know how Man City, which is more consistent, has a great coach and the strategy that Guardiola has to use is just to get 3 points in every match and wait for Arsenal to make 1 mistake to make it official that Man City will get the EPL title.

the rest of this match is really very interesting and very tense because these two top teams have to really take advantage of the last opportunity from the remaining matches that will be faced in a few weeks but Man City is still ahead from the remaining 1 match if Arsenal is able to get all the wins, of course Man City will still get to the top of the standings.

Hahaha, I just feels like laughing at arsenal seeing this remaining fixture of Manchester city because to me it's all over, I have said this before, and am still going to say it again, the biggest mistake made by arsenal is let their destiny be in the hands of Manchester city, because Manchester city have to drop point between now and the end of the season for them to stand a to be crown champions, which to me is very much unlikely, because Manchester city is definitely going to win all their remaining fixtures and be crown champions.

Though everyone will be saying their most difficult fixture will be against Tottenham, but to me, I will say a big no to that, because they are not that good presently, the match between wolves and Manchester city is actually going to be the most tricky test among them all no doubt, because if you check their past meeting, wolves has always been a pin in the neck of Manchester city, so I believe that this particular fixtures is their toughest.

I wouldn't buy that sign even if I was a billionaire, because I don't see any significance in it. Yeah a dude held it and it generated some hype in Bitcoin community for a week - so what? In my book that wasn't a significant moment in Bitcoin's history. The fact that it was sold for $1M is just another example that there are Bitcoin whales who sit on large amounts of coins and can easily spend $$ millions on some overpriced stuff.
This is you sharing your own opinion on how you feel about it. On the other side, a lot of us wouldn't try to acquire any piece of paper or art that has no use to us, but these collectors, who like collectibles a lot, think differently, especially those rich Wahala's who are looking for means to spend and make some BTC and make things popular.
 
What I see here is that some people use money to get more money or fame. That paper is hyped and is the perfect piece to get the kind of attention they need. It could easily be sold out again to another wahala with just a little hype on it.

That's just it, most of this wealthy people does all this things to just show off or just to be among that few individual who have the financial power do it, it might sound stupid to the common man, but to the rich, it means a lot to them, and of a fact, this is just one of the stupid things the rich people spend more on, something they mostly don't need, and just as orpichukwu has already said, if they no longer needs it, they might decide to sell it to another crazy rich fellow, so that's just the reality.

And lastly, you also need to understand that most of this wealthy people sees money as nothing, because they have actually not faced what an average person usually face, so they spend money on things an average person will call stupid, just as this, so the truth of the matter is that, the rich, average and poor people all think differently.

Would I spend 1,000,000 on that sign no I would not.

Even If I was stupid rich (say 100,000 btc).
There are actions we just wanna carry out just to massage our ego in as much as the money is there to spend. It wouldn't necessarily seem like a waste to you by then because to you at that very moment it's like doing what many people can't even afford to do.

There are places I said to myself 10 years back I won't visit no matter the money I was going to make because at that time I previewed it to be a waste or something stupid to do with money. But guess what today! I visit a few of those places like thrice in a year now just because of the momentary feeling that comes with been there.

Money has a way of twisting our vibes, particularly too much money. Grin We just have to be patient till we have it in that bastard amount to know what we will do and what we won't do.







poverty has its own mentality so do wealth and riches too.

You are very much correct in this part no doubt, but you also need to know that their are some set of people that money and power can't change, you see those set of people, they are mostly rare, it can be either positive or negative, but the main thing is that money can't influence them easily, they are still the Mr A or Mr B we all know, their behavior or their spending rate don't change regardless of the financial power they now have.

Am saying this because their is a man I know very well in my locality that is very crafty or stingy, he hardly gives out something easily even to his offsprings, due to how stingy he is, you can't know how wealthy he is because he hardly spend on himself talkless of spending on someone else, so you see these types of people, even money cannot change them, because they are rooted down to who they are.

I know say some people get different kind of investment goals, so some people go only sell once their investment goal is met, some people na condition or emergencies dy force their hands to sell, while some people prefer to dy take only the profit on top, some dy sell only during the bull season and some people don even vow say Dem no go touch their holdings till 5-10 years time regardless of wether the investment go dy profitable or not, so in essence of all this is please, when is the best time to sell? I know say most snr men for here go dy reason am say i surpose know this thing, but as e be so, I no just know the best time to sell,  I don list out most of the scenario wey fit make person sell, but I no know which one be the best, abeg make ona enlightened me abeg.

I will have to disagree with some of your points, yes it was a bad night for Tottenham Hot spur once again but i wasn’t too surprised because In their last 15 matches with Chelsea they have managed to win only once which shows the superiority of Chelsea in the London derby. Chelsea today also played well than in their previous games knowing full well that a loss today will have ended their hopes of any European football next season. This win today now sets them on the verge of qualifying for at least the Conference league.
If we look at the H2H statistics for Tottenham vs Chelsea, indeed, it is not quite impressive because after all, Chelsea is above Tottenham, regarding the number of wins. However, I was actually a bit surprised by the results, to be honest, I didn't watch it this time. But I think Tottenham will win. This is probably an overthinking thing and I'm already too disappointed with the performance and results of the match with Chelsea, that's what I feel. But indeed, lately, Tottenham has been playing very badly, they haven't even had a win in the last 3 matches, only a red mark.

Well, interestingly, check this:

Source: Chelsea’s home record vs. Tottenham


Don't be that too surprised bro, Chelsea is not doing fine at the moment no doubt, but you have to know that no other team knows how to beat Tottenham Hotspur than Chelsea in the English premier league, so don't be that too surprised, besides Chelsea put in a very good performance that made their winning very deserving, even though they weren't expected to win this one here by most neutral fan, so a big congrats to them for getting the desired result against their arch rivals.

Lastly, I think the race to qualify for European places is really heating up very well because as I check the premier league table, it's only Aston villa that is way apart, if not from Tottenham Hotspur which is in number fifth to number eight, they are just separate by nine point, and Manchester united, Newcastle united and Chelsea all have a game in hand compared to Tottenham Hotspur and Aston villa, so I believe that, between now and the end of the season, anything can still happen in the race for a spot in Europe.

Every day we hear about the naira going up or coming down.


In the morning, the price of a naira to dollar fit be 1300 to 1 dollar and in the afternoon it may now have changed to 1350. Watching it happen in real time is so fascinating that I wonder how does this price movement mechanism happen.
Abi dem connect these P2P platforms to our Naija stock Exchange or some kind of forex market API? Abi which kind other method way dem dey use take determined and put update for the exchange rated. Abeg I assume say most of us dey use P2P platforms and if you sabi how this thing dey work, I go like make you enlighten me.



Bro, no just allow am confuse you, wetin dy affect the price of dollar and price of naira na just people's sentiment, or I go say na the higher rate of demand or less demand nai dey affect the price, ok make we look am from this angle, you know say as Nigerian wey we be, we dy do more of importation than exportation, so while doing that, we need to get dollar in hand, for the importation of any goods or service to go through, so our demand for dollar dy very  high now, and any action like that dy always reflect in the parallel market.

And for economics, we all know say the higher the demand of a goods, the higher the price of the commodity, so as it stands now, the demand for dollar in naija dy too high, the government just dy try all their best to suppress the appreciation of the dollar, which I believe say Dem no go fit sustain am, because the root cause has not been addressed, and until they address the root cause, and the demand of dollars reduced, na so dollar go keep on rising everyday, wether the government like it or not.

Ten Hag: “I can see that Man United fans are behind us always."
"We are entering Old Trafford, I heard the reception. Wednesday was louder than I have heard. Also away: always supportive, backing the team and there is a very good connection between the team and the fans”.

https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1783894305540657499

First of all, I do not know if he is actually telling the truth.
If he is actually telling the truth, what are the Manchester United fans doing?
How are they actually supporting him?

By the way, I don't know if they were actually shouting in support of him or if they were actually shouting so they could watch him leave Manchester United. Because at this moment him leaving Manchester United is probably the best thing that could happen to Manchester United. Other than the Glaziers not being the owners of Manchester United of course. I was pretty sure that Manchester United was preparing to bring in a new coach. What happened to that? They were actually serious about it or not? I hope United is thinking of something else other than just a collab with Speed.

This is actually not true, no  Manchester united fan is in support of Eric ten hang staying at the club next season, his performance at the club have been really poor, and it's even getting worse, by the look of things, they will not even qualify for the uefa Europa league next season if care is not taken, because right now, their performance is really the worst I have seen from Manchester united in recent years.

So I think that, the best thing that should be done is for the club to part way with Eric ten hang  and someone more competent should be given the coaching position to handle, because right now the performance of Manchester united is even much worse than that of Chelsea in my own opinion.
91  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 02, 2024, 08:11:20 AM
I cannot imagine the result I am seeing, first because I lost my prediction and second because Borussia Dortmund weren't expected to win even though they are playing home!
Both teams played equally from what I heard and it seems that PSG will have hard moments getting a draw and passing Borussia Dortmund in the second leg. Taking unnecessary risks after a defeat is something PSG has to have to avoid leaving the competition. We are talking about a golden season for PSG that might vanish and turn to a nightmare in case of failure..
This is what is said anything can happen on the field, things that were not expected or previously predicted could change 180% as long as the two teams are still fighting on the field. Dortmund really took advantage of the opportunity to play at home, the mentality of the players was also very strong in pursuing victory.
PSG which was previously predicted to be able to score goals at Dortmund headquarters, actually emerged as the team with the least chance of qualifying for the final. A 1-0 win in the first leg will increase the players' motivation to play more disciplined in the second leg, Dortmund only needs a draw to ensure a ticket to the final.


Of course, in this match, there were quite a few who failed to bet on PSG. But yes, the results of matches are always difficult to predict because if you look at Dortmund's ranking in the Bundesliga, which is currently in 5th place, it is certainly very different from PSG's ranking, which is currently in 1st place in Ligue 1.

Yes, Dortmund is playing well at home, but if you think about it, it is normal with the results achieved by Dortmund to be able to draw with PSG considering that they are the hosts.

Yes, Dortmund is of course happy now because just by playing a draw in the second leg, Dortmund will qualify for the final, of course they will play again with a tougher opponent, whether it's Real Madrid or Bayern, which are the same from Bundesliga

However, the hope for Mbappe and his friends to advance to the final is certainly wide open as long as they can win and score lots of goals, but as hosts PSG would be a shame if for example they lost to Dortmund and if for example PSG lost at home it means that Dortmund is really strong. Honestly, in betting on the 2nd leg, I find it difficult to predict whether Dortmund or PSG will win, but we'll see.


It actually true that the game is very much open because a one nil scorelines is not that much to rely on, and dortmund is very much aware of that, but they will be going to France with a lot of confidence after winning the first leg, but as for me, I still believe that psg have all it takes to turn this tie around since it's just a one nil scorelines, but I actually don't think any of this teams has what it takes to win any of their potential finalist, either real madrid or Bayern Munich, because after watching both semi final, the quality between these two matches are very much obvious, that is why I believe that the winner of this year champions league is in between real madrid or Bayern Munich,  they have all required quality and experience to win it, if any of them can get to the finals.

But nothing should be ruled out completely, because in football any thing can happen, especially at this particular stage of the competition, so let's just watch and see how things plays out.

The fear of rising crime in our society is no joke and can't be ignored.This is why All people should have the rights to own Guns.

One can protect oneself,one's family and not bend down to anybody.

Possession of firearms often reduces home robberies and assaultive crimes like rape both by family members and strangers.

They are excellent tools for protection and self- defense.

Agree or Disagree

https://secondamendmentcenter.org/people-should-have-the-right-to-own-guns/

As I was reading this post, I was just contemplating on so many scenario of how the society would look like if everyone is in possession of firearm, it would be actually crazy no doubt, because to me their are so many crazy people out there in the streets which will definitely pull out a gun for any slit provocation against them, and their will be much more insecurities in our society than as it is today, Because people will start doing things with reckless impunity believing that nobody can stop them since they have power (gun) to counter anyone that tries to stop them, so I don't think it's a good idea for everyone to be in possession of firearms.

Lastly, why I really  think it's a very wrong move if the citizens of a state Is being armed is that, their are so many mentally challenged people out there in the streets and the ones in our homes, have you ever ask yourself what kind of havock they might cause if any firearms get into their possession? So it's best thing stay as it is, what the government should do instead is to beef up more security, and the police should be more fast in response to any security issues.
93  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: May 02, 2024, 07:24:29 AM
OK, the DIP is coming and it's NOW the time for YOU to PAY ATTENTION. For those who employ a DCA strategy, it's probably a good decision to start making your purchases bigger. For those who employ a Buy the DIP strategy, start placing your bids NOW. Currently, the 200-Weekly Simple Moving Average is at $34,200. Will it touch that line again? Probably not, but near that line has always been a good buying opportunity.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bitcoin bounced back to $56500 today creating a substantial opportunity for Bitcoin investors. As Bitcoin broke the $60,000 line and dropped to the $56,000 line, Bitcoin may fall to $50,000, making it a good time to invest for Bitcoin investors. For those who invest using the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) method, this is considered a dip market enough to invest in.

Though it's actually true that the price of Bitcoin can drop even further, considering the market sentiment, but as an investor that we are, I don't really think it's necessary analysing the market before we start buying, because every time is an opportunity to invest in Bitcoin, and as an investor that is accumulating Bitcoin through the DCA accumulating strategy, you are actually going to be the most benefactor because at some point during the accumulate journey, you may buy the lowest part of the deep, and even decide to buy aggressively during that period that the price was very down, as long as it doesn't affect you in financing your your day to day activities, but for those that are waiting only to buy at the deep, they are definitely going to miss a whole lot of buying opportunities, because the kind of deep they may be waiting for may not come again, so it's best to buy now.

And lastly, as a long term investor that we are, it's actually pointless paying too much attention to the price of Bitcoin every now and then, though it's very difficult to do, the best way to hold is for you to focus more on accumulating Bitcoin and stop paying too much attention to your current stash of holding, so that you won't be tempted to temper with it at some point.
94  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 01, 2024, 07:40:18 AM
I think, Arsenal will definitely lose some matches in their remaining matches, because there are some teams that know how to stop Arsenal in their home not to achieve victory from them, which they will like to apply the same tactics to frustrate Arsenal effort for Manchester city to return back to the first position.  For Arsenal to defeated Chelsea with many goals in their last match, show that Arsenal has performed well in this season but for Arsenal to win the premier league title, I don't think it will be possible for them because Manchester city is still performing to win the title again. I don't think, Arsenal can win all their remaining matches, because some of their opponents will defeat Arsenal to achieve three points or draw with Arsenal to share points.
Manchester City will not back down when they have Pep Guardiola who's also in on for lifting the title again this season. Arsenal are here for the points but it comes with a cost which Mikel Arteta is ready to give his best for the most essential positive results. Arsenal have three more games to go and there'd presence of threats for them. We're talking about Bournemouth, Manchester United and Everton. We expects Gunners to become prioritized with the big winning but when it comes to EPL matches.
If Arsenal really wants the EPL title, they must be able to get consecutive wins until the end of the season and the only question is whether Arsenal can get 3 points in the match against Man United? and will we see Man City lose 1 time in the remaining matches?
It is quite difficult to think positively about the final result of this season for Arsenal because the match schedule and remaining matches are very different and Man City will be more favored.
It's not surprising that most people think that Guardiola will not give up on winning the EPL title from Arsenal because Man City has the advantage of 1 more match remaining than Arsenal and logically Man City will get the EPL title if both teams finish the remaining matches with wins in all upcoming match session.

I don't doubt Arsenal here but I'm really sure most of the people here will have the same thought and I thought that always including Man City in the betting slip would be very profitable.

The biggest mistake made by arsenal is allowing Manchester city go top of the league, because as they are, if you check their history especially in this closing stage of the season, they hardly lose points, so I actually don't see them dropping any point between now and the end of the season.

Another thing we needs to watch out for is the remaining fixture of both teams, the fixture between Manchester united vs arsenal, and the fixture between Tottenham vs Manchester city is actually going to be key in deciding who will be crown champions at the end of the season, but arsenal really need to stay in the contest by not losing any point till the final day, while hoping that Manchester city might drop any point along the way, if they really want to be crown champions at the end of the season.

One of the leaders of Manchester United has held talks with Thomas Tuchel’s agent about potentially becoming the new head coach.
https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1784655015166062691

I think Manchester United does not have any intention of improving the coach that they have. I am pretty sure that even if they bring in Thomas Tuchel, he is not willing to bring in any improved results in the long run compared to the coach that they have right now. I did hear that Zidane had shown interest in managing Manchester United. I wonder why they are not interested in bringing him in as the coach. Because that guy was going to be a very big improvement compared to what they have and whom we are talking about right now. I don’t understand how they fail to see this. Manchester United is absolutely destroyed as a club in my opinion. They are more interested in PR and T-shirt sales instead of actually bringing in good results.

If they refused to bring in Zidane,that means they don't like something good.Zidane was the best at Madrid,and I'm not sure he was sacked when he left,that is to say he would have a significant impact on the club.Zidane knows how to coach and turn things around, because I know quite well that the problem Man United have now is not players,but their coach.Ten- Hag does not have the ability to manage a club like  Man u,and that is what is affecting their result.
But if they can get Zidane at the end of the season,there is every tendency that they will will be a contender for the tittle next season.

It's crystal clear for everyone to see that Manchester united as a club is not serious when it comes getting result and winning trophies, they are more concerned about their commercial activities than what's going on in the field of play, let just look at the performance of Eric ten hang over the cause of the season, he has been very poor, and with the kind of players at his disposal, i really do think he should be doing better.

But the sad reality about Manchester united is that, long gone are the days that they wanted to win, and those days are the day of sir Alex Ferguson, even Luis van gaal said it that Manchester united is more concerned by their commercial activities than what's going on in the field of play which is very wrong, so in my opinion, in think Eric ten hang should be shown the exit door, because he hasn't done enough for him to merit another chance to look if he can turn things around.

In my opinion it is completely inappropriate to diversify because we only buy bitcoins not shitcoins. If they are afraid of losing then it is better for them not to invest. Every investment has risks, but we can minimize the risks by choosing Bitcoin as a long-term investment. For someone who does not have full confidence in the decisions he makes, I consider him not mature enough to invest.

It's true, as you said, why diversify assets if the other goal is for shitcoins. in a situation like this I just give a little experience that I saw in media X where many people have become poor because of buying shitcoins and I hope everyone in this thread doesn't become the next victim of shitcoins.

Just focus on Bitcoin, if you don't know Bitcoin well enough then learn while investing. Everything takes time to achieve success in the investments we make. Therefore, continue to believe in your decisions rather than listening to misleading influencers on social media.
Sometimes I also wonder why people try to diversify to other form of investment that is lesser than the one they already own, basically diversifying from Bitcoin to shitcoins how does that even sound in the ear in the first place? However, if you must want to diversify your investment let it be on an asset that is worth it or worth more than Bitcoin and to me I don't even see any digital investment that is worth more than Bitcoin except maybe some real life projects that have high potential values and returns just like real estate so that is the kind of investment to diversify to instead of shitcoins because I just see shitcoins like a distraction for anyone who is committed to owning a huge portfolio in his Bitcoin holdings.

Investing on shitcoins has caused a lot of people emotional damages even one of my cousin who was into Bitcoin before me told me that I should never give shitcoins a trial any day no matter how much i have because he has wasted thousands of dollars on shitcoins but what did he got in return? Losses. Never will I diversify my Bitcoin investment to shitcoins except if it is an asset that has more value than Bitcoin and for now I've seen none.

People have mostly fail to understand that in crypto their is no diversification, because their is no substitute to Bitcoin, you can't be selling off your Bitcoin and be buying alt or shit coin, to me, that's stupidity in the highest other, so it's either Bitcoin or nothing in the crypto space.

But if you are talking of diversification of investment in real sense, you can diversify with an asset like gold, land, real estate just as cryptoprincess has already, said stock, diamond and some other businesses away from Bitcoin entirely,  but as long as it's in this digital space, it's best we stick to Bitcoin till the very end, because it's the real deal.

Bayern's semifinal match against Real Madrid in the UCL was really tense and both teams really played with enthusiasm and in the end Bayern and Real Madrid had to settle for a 2-2 draw and I really like the performance of Vinicius who is really great at playing the ball and also In terms of utilizing opportunities, it's pretty good and Vinicius is really a hero at the moment for Real Madrid because he scored 2 goals.

Sane and Kane are really good and he was the hero for Bayern in the match. I think the match in the 2nd leg later be a match that will definitely be more exciting because Ancelotti's troops and Tuchel's troops will definitely play optimally in the match. Honestly, I find it difficult. predicted the result of the match in their 2nd leg, but I predicted that Ancelotti's troops would win in the 2nd leg semi-final match. Honestly, I didn't think that the match would end in a draw because I thought Real Madrid would be successful against Bayern, but in fact Bayern was right. really strong. Of course both team coaches will show their best performance in the second leg of the semifinals later

That's right, their match was very fierce where both teams played a very fast game, so I thought the match seemed to have sped up two times. I felt the thrill of the match between these two teams, even though I didn't support either one, the tension in the match was really palpable. With Bayern Munic continuing to pressure Real Madrid in the early minutes until Real Madrid couldn't move, Bayern Munich's attack really made things difficult for Real Madrid, and in my opinion this match was very tense.

with the final result being a draw, it was beyond my expectations, I thought Real Madrid could beat Bayern Munich, but in fact they didn't. Bayern Munich can keep up with them and they even put continuous pressure on Real Madrid.  In the early minutes of the first half, Bayern Munich's defense was difficult to overcome,  but even so, Real Madrid was able to score two goals, and with the final result being a draw, this will make their match in the second leg even more exciting. Vinicius managed to maximize the opportunities he got, making this match a draw.

It's was really a fascinating encounter between this two giant of European football no doubt, and of a truth, I really enjoyed the game,  I just feels like the finals of this year champions league came too early, because I sees this game as the finals, and any of them that finally prevail in the reverse fixture will definitely lift the trophy no doubt.

And as for the tie, the contest is still very open, because any of them can still get the required result in the second leg, but as of now, real madrid is the clear favourite to win this one, and I was actually impressed by the much improved performance from Bayern Munich, which I believe that if they can replicate that kind of performance at the Santiago benabao, they will definitely stand a chance of winning and qualifying to the finals.

Pochettino: It looks like [on the press] only I need to prove myself. It's always: the coach needs to prove himself.
But we are all responsible. We all need to prove that we deserve to be here next season, not only me.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1783853537052499995

I think the coach has actually forgotten that when the players have proved themselves previously and that's why everybody is pointing fingers at him. If he did not have a good enough team, I am pretty sure that everyone was going to point fingers at the players. I understand that he is not trying to take the blame alone. Because that is definitely not going to be good for his career. But I definitely believe that the bigger blame does go to him.
To be honest, all of parties in chelsea deseverd to be blamed. It doesn't even matter whether it was owner, players, management or even coach itself. They were doing their shitty things that destroyed the club.

- Boehly with his bad habit to always intervening his team
- The management with theri garbage scouting team
- Players with their bad habits and inconsistent performances at the late game
- Coach with his very very bad decision making that's often cost the club three points

All of chelsea fans have been pointing their fingers not only on him. But to the all of parties in the chelsea. They are all having their own role to destroy the club.

Of course, other people might have different opinions on this. Now I am saying that a lot of things might be fixed if they change the coach. Which I genuinely believe, if they bring in a better coach, they will have better results. But there is no guarantee of that happening as well.
Coach, players, management or even toed boehly as a chairman shall be also replaced. We have seen how garbage and inconsistent chelsea in the last two seasons. it has proven how garbage this club is right now.
Fixing the problems are a must even though it sounds like a gambling. What's a better solution other than replacing all of the main problems in the club? I hope the investors behind claarke will able to do something regarding this.


You aren't far from the truth bro, you are partially right on some part, but to me, it's very clear who is to blame for all that it's going on in the club, and that person is no other person that Toed boerhly, he has practically reduced Chelsea to the lowest I have ever seen, since my existence as a football fan.

As he bought the club, the first wrong move he made was sacking peter cech and the Russia woman in charge of the day to day running of the club, the second bad move was sacking Thomas tuchel and replacing him with a clueless Graham potter, since then it has been from one bad decision to another, even the new sporting director that was signed, later resign because he wasn't allowed to do his job, the interference was too much for him to take.

And lastly, this Mauricio pochettino that was hired is just a yes man, a coach that accept a job that he wouldn't even have a say on who goes in and out of the club, I am not blaming him much because I already know before now that he is a clueless manager, i only blame toed boerhly for hiring someone as clueless as him, all because he is looking for whom to control, till Toed boerhly remove his hands from Chelsea entirely, and people that knows the job is being hired, that's how Chelsea will keeps on suffering, I can bet on that.

My point is not so much about the timeline exactly, even though I agree that having a longer timeline should allow for pacing of the investing - yet all along, any of us should know that at any time, our investment in bitcoin could go to zero, so we could lose up to 100% of our investment, and we could also lose some variation in-between 0% and 100%, since bitcoin is also not guaranteed to make any kind of a profit.

There surely is the other side of the ledger that should also establish that it is possible for BTC prices to appreciate greatly, so that remains part of the nature of an asymmetric bet.. a possibility of losing up to 100% (and no more if you do not leverage), but also there are various upside possibilities too, that contributes to abilities to potentially profit several times more than 100%, depending on how either side of the scenario plays out, and surely there have been many of us who have already profited stupendously in bitcoin, so we likely have decently sized profit cushions, yet there are also people who are more recent entrants into bitcoin, and surely bitcoin's price is generally up so a large number of folks who have been buying regularly and consistently over recent times are likely to be in profits, even though more recent entrants may or may not be in profits, and new entrants into bitcoin have to consider the various ways that they might want to get into bitcoin, including my own ongoing recommendation that anyone new to bitcoin should get started right away, and sure s/he may have to figure out details at a later date.

The future of our bitcoin investment remains uncertain and either possibilities of we profiting off our investment or losing 100% of our investment can happen and should be considered, but sincerely speaking I myself along many others hardly put in mind or would want our bitcoin investment after holding and accumulating for so many years to not profit us, I also understand that to be on the safe side of the spinning coin we should invest with money that we won't miss during the time of our investment or something like our spare money, yet the reality before us is the fact that bitcoin is doing well and has been for some years, making many that invested earlier rich and others in good profit and we also know that the only way to prepare for up is to continue buying bitcoin, leaving us in situation where we have to side one variable of possibility over the other at least a little.

Here is what I mean, I know that bitcoin might not do well and also it might do well and to be safe I have to invest with money I won't be needing, but if want to profit from bitcoin I have to have a good stash which means been aggressive to a point and that involves giving all or a major percentage of my disposable income to bitcoin and at that point if bitcoin goes wrong I will be hurt, if I like it or not, but i won't be affected by it since I wasn't investing out of my disposable income.

And this can also come to affect how many of us would approach investing in bitcoin, to be either whimy since they would rather side the fear of losing all or aggressive knowing that there is a risk of loss but rather choses to buy bitcoin aggressively.

It's actually true that no investment is risk free and Bitcoin is no exception, but it's an asset that is worth investing in, because it has proven itself over and over again over the years that even though it goes through a rough path at some point, it can still rally it way up regardless of the effort it haters put in for it to crash, but it still stands strong.

And we need to know that not everyone that invest in Bitcoin will be able to build a generational wealth because not everyone will be able to accumulate enough stash of Bitcoin that can have a major impact on his or her life, so in other for we to be able to build generational wealth over the years, while practicing the DCA method, we need to try ask much as possible to accumulate a very good stash of Bitcoin, because that is what will determine whether you will be successful or not on the longer run.

You are very much correct bro, but am not quite certain when you are talking of the percentage involved....
What Op Is talking about here is that we should always read the terms and conditions of anything we do generally and this is true because many have suffered greatly from this ignorance even outside the crypto space. So we have to always take our time to know the terms and conditions of anything we buy or do because prevention is better than sorry


-snip- because I have experience a crazy and stupid terms  and conditions from most of this p2p merchant when doing p2p transaction, you will see a merchant that will say that two hundred naira will be deducted from the original money he wanted to pay as bank charges, if he is buying from you, so due to the fact that most people don't actually read terms and conditions on most of this adds the merchant put up, they will later start having problem with the merchant, and to tell you the truth, the merchant will always win the case when the issue is being settled by customer support, because his terms and conditions were  written down clearly already before the trade was opened, so they believed that you agreed to it, so in essence of all this, it's very very important to read terms and conditions of most of this merchant when doing p2p transaction, because most of them are just crazy, someone will boldly say that he wouldn't release or pay if your phone number is not submitted to him, so he can call, as if it's a compulsory thing, so we should be very careful with terms and conditions generally.

but please can you try give some space in your text since it's hard to read like this
