1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You Ever Felt Like Gambling Was Affecting Your Life Negatively? on: August 05, 2025, 10:29:29 PM
Gambling almost made me lose my job years back due to the fact that I was always visiting the physical betting shop close to my work place long story short I was suspended because my boss felt a day will come when I will be tempted to gamble with the companies money but after I was called back to work no one advised me to stay away from that place. The negativity in gambling can go as far as destroying one's life if it is not controlled.

For Luka modric to join AC Milan is really a smart move and indeed a big plus, yes we all know age is really really cougth up with Luke modric but deep down he's still have much to offer, and judging from AC Milan present form now they really kind of need an experience players like Luka modric, maybe in that midfield and some other good ones he can still do more, besides it's rare for someone at his age to have still go to a top team in Europe, the only reason is they know his potential and what exactly he can do and I believe he won't disappoint, because Luka modric is one of the gems we have in football and age won't be a barrier.
In terms of strength, Milan will not get the best from Luka Modric because he is gradually passing his prime. But you cannot take away his experience and leadership skills from him. He would be a good  mentor to young players in the club and they will learn a lot from from him. AC Milan is going through a transformation stage. They ended last season in eight position which means they will only focus on domestic competitions.

Milan already knows the age of Luka Modric before offering him the contract they can't expect him to put up much strength at this age but then he's going to impact the youngins as you said and with is level of experience you should know a lot will come from him. AC Milan is going to need adequate preparation ahead of the league next season if they want to finish above their position next season then they have to be ready to focus and pay more attention to the league games.

Getting a good team is something that takes time people should not expect Amorin to turn things around just looking like that I don't even expect Amorin to turn things around this season with the current state of Manchester United it will take at least three seasons for united  to actually compete for any title.
I do not agree with you on this, Ruben Amorim knows his duties as the manager of the team he shouldn't expect United fans not to expect him to improve the team and start getting them a good result next season he should do everything to get the team back on track even though he doesn't win a trophy for them. He had last season to experiment with the team now he's got to sign good players that could help improve his team so that there will be no need to complain again.

With Ronaldo's influence more Portuguese players and sports administrators are getting offers from Al-Nasr. Bruno Fernandes is thirty years old but his age has not affecting his performance adversely. He is in great form that Manchester United cannot afford to lose him for any price. His leadership role in the club is also commendable. His refusal to move to the Gulf League has shown that there are players who still value club loyalty over money. He has decided to stay with the Red Devils in this hard times even without an European competition.

Al Nassr has agreed to give Ronaldo a free run in the club affairs for the next two years. Ronaldo want to win the Saudi Professional League at least once before he retires. Now filling the club with Portuguese speaking players (both from Portugal and Brazil) is his choice, and if the club management doesn't have any problem with it, why should we care? Al Nassr ignored his requests and suggestions for two years, and paid the price for that. Now may be it is time to try a different approach.


If the club have accepted Ronaldo to handle the club affairs for two years that means we should expect a good change to happen in the team and the club is definitely going to have the opportunity to win the Saudi league since his presence will bring more good players which will help him to win the league for the club.It will be a good decision for the management of they do so and Ronaldo will be happy after extending his contract with the team.

I already said this one but i really feel like if he can acomodate into this Barcelona team we can see a super Marcus Rashford this season to begin. He is a super player with low selfsteem right now and trying to find again his best fit, so in this Barcelona team is the proper place to see that happen.

Rashford can adapt to the playing pattern of the Barcelona team because he's very young and talented we saw him at Aston Villa doing great there now he is with Barcelona he only needs time and training to improve and seeing his last performance with Barcelona in the Pre-Season game I think he will do wonders in the Barcelona team let's watch out for him.

Chelsea FC is currently a business club. Buy, Sell, Restock players, this week, we see more of Chelsea players that will be leaving the club.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to join Everton on permanent deal from Chelsea.

Armando Broja leaves, Lesley Ugochukwu also leaves Chelsea and joins Burnley on permanent deal.

Christopher Nkuku and Nicholas Jackson also planning to leave before the season starts.
Football clubs are not charity organizations. The owners of these clubs target profit and they will adopt any legal and sometimes illegal strategy to achieve it.

Chelsea for the last three seasons have not been financially prudent. The club was overstocked with average and overhyped players. The current coach and management is simply trying to offload unwanted players and get a balanced and sustainable squad. And from my observations, they are doing a good job.

Asides that they've signed too many players in the past 2 seasons they have to sell some so they won't attract any fine to themselves,  any player that's not beneficial to the team needs to leave instead of staying on the bench and earning heavy salary weekly. I love how this current coach is handling the team.

Instead of borrowing, it would be better for one to look for something that can generate money; no matter how small it may be, it is still better than relying on borrowing money to feed. One of the difficult things to do is to pay debts. It is very easy to spend borrowed money, but to pay it off, that is where the problem lies.
It is nobody's wish to be depending on borrowing money to feed but life happens and until it hits you hard you would never understand the pains people go through just to eat so that they wouldn't die or hunger. If the opportunity comes to have  little things that pays the bills for feeding it's an opportunity to grab it and not depend on borrowing to feed it's very difficult to pay back when you have got nothing doing. If you have works then borrowing for anything wouldn't be a problem cause you have the means or paying back.

Gonçalo Ramos' name has started to be called with Newcastle recently. The English side is already in search of a CF to pave the way for Isak's departure. He wants to sign for Liverpool you know.

I'm not sure about Ramos - Newcastle though.  Tongue  I wouldn't expect him to create a similar effect to Isak in terms of goal contribution. Maybe it is prejudice but he hasn't proven himself at PSG so far at least.

I thought Newcastle were going after Sesko and they've already tabled a first bid that was rejected with hope that there  would be second bid. Well since they desperately need a new replacement for Isak I'm not really surprised about them going after Gonçalo Ramos although I'm not still very sure that Isak would leave yet.

Those two players that you mentioned use to be Napoli best attacking forces but Conte have replaced them with players that are older than them and in no time they wouldn't be able to perform as expected by the club. Look at De Bruyne, he is already dropping form and that's the kind of player that Conte prefers. Most clubs are going for a younger player but Conte is going for old players
In fact, Osimhen did not help Napoli at all in getting the Scudetto, only Kvaratskhelia and even then he only played half a season then went to PSG, moreover when these two players left Napoli's performance did not decrease drastically, I think they remain a strong team and one of the strong candidates for the Scudetto in the new season. Conte knows what to do and replaces the positions of these two players with new young players, for example, Noa Lang was bought to replace Kvaratskhelia's position and several new defenders and midfielders were also brought in, including KDB who was obtained for free.
Are you sure that you watched Napoli matches two seasons ago 2022-2023. How did Osimhen become popular if not due to his outstanding performance in Napoli which made them win the Scudetto for the first time in history. Infact, that is a remarkable season for Osimhen because he scored 22 goals as the first African player to score 22 goals in the history of Seria A. Go and do more research.

Maybe he doesn't like Osimhen that's why he's failed to give him his flowers, incase he doesn't know Victor Osimhen is the brain behind Napoli winning the trophy in the 2022/23 season when Spalletti was the head coach he should compare Osimhen's goal that season and Khvicha's then he'll see that Osimhen was the most outstanding player in the serie A that year.

Eberechi Eze has been on the radar of Arsenal for sometime now and it doesn't look like they are ready miss out on this deal and it doesn't look like the player is against this move. He would be a big plus for Arsenal if they get him since they can't get their hands on Rodrygo, can Arteta get this player before the deadline of the transfer market?
I have no doubt Arsenal will re-sign Eze before the transfer window shuts, but the situation hasn't changed with our outgoings... Right now, Arsenal's priority is to focus on selling a few players before going for Eze and possibly a LW [if we get lucky].

For Eze to sign for Arsenal this summer they'll need to offload either Trossard or Martinelli or even both since they've signed Madueke already but I doubt if they'll sell both. Trossard looks likely to leave fans are already complaining too much of his poor performance and decision makings so I think the club would sell him to fund Eze's signing.

PSG is indeed one of the strongest teams in Europe, but not the best team. It's not because they won the Champions League that they are considered the best team in Europe.
PSG can also be said to have had a good moment when their strong competitors experienced a drop in performance last season. You can see what happened to Madrid and Man City last season, which became an advantage for PSG. Ligue 1 is always simple, with PSG dominating.

PSG is considered one of the best teams in Europe right now because of their victory and dominance in the champions League they were the best in that competition that's why they can be considered as one of the strongest and also the best cause when the other teams were struggling they gained more advantage to win the champions League. The club world cup was another place where they dominated though they lost in the finals but it doesn't take away the fact that they appeared stronger than most of the teams in the competition.

Tottenham will have to work twice as hard to go far in the Champions League next season, I think they were very lucky to win the Europa League trophy last season.
Some Tottenham fans deeply regretted the management decision to sack Ange Postecoglou, believing he deserved to be retained. Most recently, Son has decided to leave Tottenham, which will make their efforts to bounce back next season even more difficult. Thomas Frank must quickly find a suitable replacement while the transfer window is still open.

Sometimes the teams we least expect are the ones that end up surprising everyone,  Tottenham is the least team that people expect would go far in the Champions League competition but they could end up surprising everyone. They've added some players to the squad to increase their depth ahead of the new season since they'll be participating in more competitions this season. You're right though they'll have to put in more effort next season.

Today there seems to be a lot of news about the schedule that makes Madrid angry. Madrid even applied for a change of schedule but did not get approval. Even Osasuna's opponents have agreed to the postponement, but the league federation has rejected it all. This condition makes Madrid have to adjust their preparations again. With this condition, Madrid does not seem to have much preparation for a trial match. What do you think?



madrid are at a disadvantage as they have just finished the club world cup and have had only a limited amount of time to prepare for the start of the new la liga season. moreover, they have just made a major overhaul to the team and need some trial matches to assess how well the new players can adapt to the system implemented by xabi alonso. this will be crucial for them, as they must immediately face la liga’s tight schedule without going through an ideal pre-season. that means they will need to find their rhythm quickly, or risk dropping valuable points early in the season, which could cost them the la liga title.

Maybe that's why they were requesting that the La liga officials postpone their first match to give them more time to prepare.  Well it's been weeks since the Club World Cup ended so from then till the new season starts is enough time to prepare ahead of the new season. If they're looking for more time what would the likes of PSG and Chelsea that stayed in the competition till the end demand.

In four games their performance was much improved with the score 8 goals which is also positive while their defense is also doing much better and having good depth which was not in last season, and they conceded too many goals even they are still looking for few changes which are good. Most chances if things will be stayed on good level they could be able to have good chance of staying into top half of league table which is also not bad at all because this season is looking much competitive.

It is not yet possible to make a sure statement on whether Manchester United's performance has really improved. Manchester united have played against Everton, Bournemouth and Westham in the last few matches. Manchester United won only against Bournemouth by a large margin, it was 4-1. United failed to win against everton. The match was drawn 2 - 2. Even though the opponent was not that much strong , Though united could not win. Do they have the ability to win against big teams like City and Chelsea ? Manchester United need to try to strengthen their defense more . They  have conceded goals in all three matches.

Hope you know that several big teams have lost in the pre-season, even Arsenal lost the chance of winning a cup to Tottenham, Barcelona conceded 3 goals against an Asian team but when it comes to Manchester United the media is always quick to react, you didn't even talk about the fact that they've not lost to any team in the pre-season that's an improvement, you're only bothered about the goal they conceded.

United doesn't need good players leaving, they need bad ones leaving so they can get better players. Sancho and Garnacho are the two that has some talent but needs to leave, so those two will be the first ones to go, for now they are looking into Antony to leave as well, but that seems like they are not getting the offers they hope they would.

Manchester United coach has made it clear that he doesn't want the players that are not interested in helping the team to stay and in his list Sancho and Garnacho is included they should go or they will will be forced to continue training with the under 21 pending when their contract will be over with United they can't be in the team when they are not ready to play well for the them. Anthony is not a bad player he's just not in a good relationship with the coach which I understand, if the team wants him to go there's no need staying in the team when he's not going to play.

Educating yourself will always have it's benefits therefore we shouldn't believe anything that anybody else is saying. Educating yourself in trading will always benefit you because there's always going to be a difference between a trader that's educated and that trader that isn't educated just as how having experience is also important for all traders because the experience has the things that it does for you that someone without experience won't be having. As a trader always increase your education and experience but don't do it at the expense of you losing your money in a large amount. Do it with minimum amount of money that won't trouble you if lost.
Getting a trading knowledge is the only way you can be doing well when trading the market and all those influencers are only trying to make money for themselves without minding if their followers are always making money. There has been greedy traders that want to make money alone while seeing others struggling to earn a living as a trader. It is wise you get a skill and keep trying your best.

Copy trading has a lot of down sides, you can get involved in it and end up losing a lot of money on the process because not all trades you come across are well analyzed.  Instead of going into copy trades it's better to improve on your skills with a demo account while you are acquiring knowledge. Rushing into trading when are still in that early stages isn't the right thing to do. Before you should focus on earning you must learn
I don't see anything wrong with copy trading but the problem with many people is that they keep copying the wrong traders especially those that don't trade with risk management. If you don't know how to trade the crypto market and you want to make money from trading then copy trading is a good option. You will also need to endeavor to use good platform that would not charge large fee and still change your copy trading fee even when you are not in profit.

Selling a property after building gives more profit cause if the property is located in a good environment you get fast buyers and you can get ×2 of your investment money within a short period of time without stress unlike placing it for rent where you have to wait for years before recovering the amount spent before thinking about profit. If you place the property on rent you have to spend money on maintenance the longer it stays which could also reduce the profit you should have made in the property.

That's why many people are optimistic that Real Madrid can turn things around this season, because they have now prepared everything quite well and made some important changes in the structure of the team, both in terms of tactics and player rotation, which could increase their chances of winning La Liga this season. even though we have not yet seen Real Madrid's performance after all the changes were fully implemented in competitive matches, I am confident that their performance will be better than last season.
I stil doubt Real Madrid has effected enough changes to give them a champions league edge for next season, it feels to me like they still have a lot of work to do mostly with the players psychology and chemistry because that was where the problem was last season and not mostly with their tactics or team depth and quality.  If the players have a good chemistry and team work within themselves I believe they will do better because they will be looking out for the team much more than looking out for their selfish interest.
From the signings that Real Madrid has made so far I think there will be changes in the team since it was obvious they were having issues with some wing that was having leakage which Xabi Alonso has brought in the right players to cover up that position to avoid the issues that affected them last season. The players only needs to train together then work things out among themselves while the manager will try and create a good relationship with his players so that they will have a good bound on and off the pitch as it will help them in their performance.

It is quite a pity for their glory days to be cut short in a blink of an eye, truth be told Erik ten hang can't maintain the same stand as xavi Alonso, and going to the lent of selling off some of the good players will only worsting the whole issue, like Bayern Leverkusen has just lost it, I really doubt if they can make it to the top for, but what is it with Erik ten hang the habit of selling off nice players and replacing them with what so ever he desires not minding the club and the fans, and he was actually doing well at Ajax, or should I say he had all that it takes to win that league as at that time?

Well I still think the new season should start and the performance of the team should be used to judge between Xabi Alonso the former manager and Ten Hag the current manager who has done better for the team. Ten Hag knows better than we do that could be the reason why he allowed the players that was sold in the team to leave maybe he's planning on getting other players that would help him to achieve a good result in the team.
