Liverpool are handed their first defeat of the season and of course it comes from a very familiar team. Crystal place just know how to beat Liverpool, for the third time in a row Liverpool have failed to beat crystal palace in all competitions. The 100 percent start of the season have finally comes to and end. On the other hand crystal palace remains unbeaten and are only team in the league yet to be beaten.
Yeah, Liverpool has lost their unbeaten streak, their 100 percent record, with this wonderful defeat against Crystal Palace. The game was so interesting and incredibly entertaining because if they told me that Liverpool was going to lose to Crystal Palace, I would never agree with the way they have been playing well right from the start of the season, but indeed with Crystal Palace's much effort, they were able to give Liverpool a tough time by defeating them 2-1, which was a great achievement for them.

Arsenal can surely make use of this Liverpool defeat, only, if only they can beat Newcastle at St. James park tomorrow. This is one of the reason you just have to love the premier league, it is very competitive. A win tomorrow for arsenal will close the gap to just 2 points.
This is the right time for Arsenal to stand on their feet and play well in their tomorrow match against Newcastle and beat them in order to achieve their straight 3 points. The funny part about this premier league is that some teams that had a great winning last week are the ones losing this week to an unexpected club, because of the way Liverpool performed last week, nobody expected them to lose, but I think, as you said earlier, Arsenal is supposed to make use of this wonderful Liverpool defeat and win their game tomorrow so that they can move up to the 2nd position.

On behalf of Manchester United and Onana, we are sorry. Immediately Igor Thiago produces (2) goals against Manchester United within 8 to 20 minutes. Definitely, I know Manchester United will lose this game, their performance was very poor, seriously, so annoying.
Eventually the March ended well with Brentford victory 3-1 against Manchester United, weldon Brentford.
What you said against Manchester United has definitely come true. I don’t even know what the actual Manchester United problem is because they’re not consistent in their performances. Is the problem from the players or the coach? When Onana was still in the team, almost everybody blamed him, even though the problem wasn’t only from him.

Let's look at their match today against Brentford. Manchester United really suffered a lot at the hands of Brentford. Because their results were even beyond my expectations, as I was expecting them to bring out a positive result, but unfortunately they couldn’t make it due to their bad performance; the only thing they dominate in that game is ball possession.

Having a source of income is very important in taking care of yourself and your basic needs, but if you can't figure out your discretionary income and you went ahead and invest, you are just gambling, and the end product of such actions wouldn't be pleasing because selling it prematurely will be inevitable.
The first thing we must fight for before anything else is our source of income. Because income sources contribute to the success of careers. And for that reason, the sources of income and discretion are important, particularly when it comes to Bitcoin investing. It retains our investments for a long time because only those who have no other source of income will rely on their current investments, and these individuals do not stay for very long term investments.

One thing about investing in Bitcoin is that you won't realize the returns until you've been doing it for a long time. The issue with some investors is that not everyone has the mentality to stick with their investments for that long.  Because of this, the majority of investors occasionally lose their Bitcoin investments.

Last season Barcelona and PSG are in a good form and wining there matches but they didn't get the chance to face each other last season in the Champions League and currently they will face each other for second round in the ucl. I think the game can't be predicted anything can happen or probably the game can end in a draw but that will be very difficult. Let see who will be favourite to achieve the three point because definitely one club most drop point next week between PSG and Barcelona.
Yeah, last season both PSG and Barcelona had great performances in the Champions League, but unfortunately they had no chance to face each other, and now this season they're going to face each other in the second round of the UCL. We should be expecting good results from them, because I’m sure their match will be an interesting one to watch. Nobody knows yet which team will be the favorite to win, as both of them are in good form, and again football is unpredictable, but normally this kind of game always end in a draw, so definitely one thing must happen is either a draw or a win.

Since the start of the new season, we have been seeing a new Juventus who are performing well this season. All the teams that we always considered favorites are now at the bottom of the points table, but even though Juventus is not considered a favorite, they are now in second place in the points table. I don't know how long Juventus's performance will continue, but if they can perform like this permanently, then they can have a good fight with Napoli to win the Italian league title this season. Although Inter Milan and AC Milan have been the favorite teams of the Italian league in other seasons, I don't know why they are not performing as well as before this season, maybe we will not see them in a very good position in the points table this season.
The most surprising thing is that the teams that were not in good form last season are the ones leading the tables now this season; all those teams that were having a great performance are no longer doing well this season. Let's look at Juventus, who were also battling last season with poor performances and are now giving Napoli a tough time, as they're ready to fight them back-to-back just to make sure this season they bring out a good outcome for their team.

Napoli are now leading the top of the table with high points; that’s why they are also powerful and strong, just to keep their top spot. Now there are just 2 points of difference between them and Juventus; if they make any mistakes or miss any of their matches these days, they will come down to the second position.

Bayern Munich is the favourite to win the match, but it will not be an easy win for Bayern Munich because Bremen is a small team that always plays well against big teams, some small clubs always play well against big teams, and Bremen is one of the small teams that always play well against big teams, Bayern Munich should not underestimate them, otherwise, they will shock them by scoring an opening goal in the match, Bremen has young players, which is why I don't want Bayern Munich to underestimate them.
I will know say that the Bayern Munich will be the favorite to win that match why? Is because the football is unpredictable currently now the match is ongoing and from the result give Bayern leading by 1-0, but their lead by 1 goal not mean they will be the favorite of win this match; we all know that the Bremen are not that powerful but with that they will still do their best.

Bayern Munich has won every game this season, including the Champions League game against Chelsea, and they are the clear favourite to win the Bundesliga title while also having a good season in the Champions League, but Bremen can surprise them because this is football and anything can happen. Bremen is a team that always finds a way to score goals even if they do not win the match, so Bayern Munich must be careful.
Yeah they won every of their games this season. But the thing is that some time the team that we’re taking guaranteed are the one bring out a big surprise, and that’s we should never underestimate Bremen with their current performances, since the first half is about to finish it may be the second half will be their best performance.

Real Madrid will make sure they get the three points against Atletico Madrid because they know that if they drop any points at this moment, it will affect them and drop them from the top of the table. The match against Atletico Madrid will be very tough because the derby match is always tough, even when Atletico Madrid are not in good form, they always played well against Real Madrid. Real Madrid this season is different from the Real Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti, they are different from last season.
That’s just the facts. Now that Real Madrid is in a little bit of pressure because they are only ahead of Barcelona by just 2 points, this is the reason why they do not want anything to affect their points at this moment. They will try as much as possible to make sure they win the match against Atletico in order to secure their 3 points.

The match will not be easy for Real Madrid because Atletico Madrid players always turn up against Real Madrid and play like players in their primes. Xabi Alonso will do everything to keep his unbeaten record, and with the way Mbape, Vinicius, and other Real Madrid players have played this season, they will do everything to defeat Atletico Madrid and keep them at the top of the league table.
I’m also expecting the match to be a tough one. Because anytime Atletico are going to face Real Madrid, their performance is always different. Even though they're not in good form at that moment, they will make sure they attack Real Madrid well to prevent them from achieving their goals. We will watch and see if Xabi Alonso is able to repeat the same thing by keeping an unbeaten record with the different team.

Gambling addiction without loss of money is rarely seen or regarded as addiction since the player rarely display the negative characters of an addicted gambler such putting the family in debt, being aggressive, crime and many others. It is usually when there is loss of money that addiction because a big issue.
But do you know that no matter how much expertise and experience a person has about gambling, they won’t say that they will not lose in the gambling even once, talkless the person that has gotten addicted to gambling. So in this case I will not agree that till when a person is losing money, he/she will have the issue with the gambling addiction.

However, if a player is addicted to gambling and he is lucky to remain in profits, it is a matter of time before he moves into the other side and start exhibiting all the terrible things known for gambling addiction.
We all know that everything about gambling is a matter of luck, but remaining lucky in getting profits all the time is what will be difficult. It is possible that there are some times that some people will be lucky to get profits all the time, but when the gambling turns upside down, they will regret being addicted to the gambling.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How easy it is to be addicted to gambling? on: September 25, 2025, 10:41:08 PM
I have been gambling for years, maybe I have been addicted to it at some point even though I never noticed, however I'm a little in control of my gambling activities. Something still get me confused regarding gambling addiction that is a hot topic here and I want to get opinion of others on these areas:
  • How do you know you are addicted to gambling
  • How easy it is to be addicted to gambling?
  • Can an addicted gambler work himself out of that addiction without help from anyone, if yes, is it still addiction?
It’s very easy for someone to get addicted to the gambling. A moment a person is into the gambling, and he does bet every day; there’s no way that this kind of person will escape from getting addicted to the gambling. Because one thing about gambling is if a person is into gambling and always wins a lot of his bets, instead of him to have a full stop for himself since he has won a lot of money, but he will not.

This winning will be encouraging him to bets  more to the extent that he will multiply the amounts of money that he used to bet before so that it will get bigger profits, but after a while he will end up losing all the money, and then from there he will begin to chase the gambling for him to recover what he has lost back, and from there he will be addicted to the gambling.

I am also very sure that Aaton Villa would win at home tonight. They have taken the lead with a classic strike from Mc. Ginn on the 13th minutes. Aston Villa is pressing their visitors, looking for how they can double their lead. Mc Ginn scored against Bologna last season in the Champions League, he has done the same this season in UEL. The scoreline is currently 1-0.
Tonight Aston Villa have a great performance against Bologna; upon all their strengths, Aston Villa are leading them by 1-0. Aston Villa really means to win this tonight, and that’s why we can see they’re trying to maintain this 1 goal so that they can secure their 3-point strength against Bologna because the match is almost over.

Bologna can only achieve the ball possessions with the way Aston Villa holds them so tightly. I don’t think they can equalize back anymore, as they are already in the extra minutes of time. This season Aston Villa's performances were not enough to make us believe that they could win the Bologna, but indeed with their much effort, they were able to bring out a positive result.
13  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bull market or bear market, which are we in? on: September 25, 2025, 07:49:16 PM
With the recent downward movement of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, investors are divided; some think the bear market is here, following the cryptocurrency cycle, while others think it is just a trap and the market will rally again.

Where do you stand? Is the recent downtrend just a mere retracement? Or the beginning of the bear market?
Since we entered 2025, a lot of people have been saying that this is the bull season. Because by then the Bitcoin market was very volatile and the price was very high, which I also think that’s how the market will continue, but after a while the market begins to fall down; since then the price has only been fluctuating. That’s why nobody can be sure of the bull market and the bear markets. There are some of the investors that no longer have high expectations for the bull market anymore this season, as the season has almost come to an end.
14  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Is Bitcoin Only For The Rich? on: September 25, 2025, 04:48:43 PM
Bitcoin is a technology built on the idea of freedom for the people. That's literally democracy. A system, which the government has no power over. Everyone is equal. Its very foundation is open source and free for anyone to use. The source code is publicly available, wallets are free, and a global community of developers works tirelessly to maintain the network without receiving any rewards. They do it for the love of the technology and its potential to create a more equitable financial system.
Bitcoin is reliable technology that brings freedom for each and everyone all over the world, which is actually not controlled by anyone or any government. And that’s why Bitcoin has become the best coin because it has helped a lot of people in terms of financial freedom and stability. Their networks are very strong and reliable, as they are always on maintenance.

So how can something built on such open principles only meant to favor the rich? The difference isn't even about wealth, but about mindset. specifically, the willingness to take a risk.
A poor person or someone with limited income might see the volatility of Bitcoin and think, "If I invest in this, I don't know if it'll work out. I can't afford to lose my money." This is a valid fear. someone with more capital might see the same volatility and think, "This is a calculated risk with a potentially high reward." let's give it a try.
Bitcoin is not only for the rich; Bitcoin is openly for each and everyone, both the poor and the rich. It's just that at times the rich people receive bigger profits than the poor. Because the rich get enough money to invest with any amounts they wish at that time, but the poor with the limited income cannot afford to use the big amounts all the time.
15  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Are there Situations Whereby it is Advisable to Invest in Bitcoin using a loan? on: September 25, 2025, 04:15:46 PM
Greetings Everyone,... I want to open a discussion on a very controversial question which is that: Are there situations whereby it is advisable to invest in Bitcoin using a loan?.
No matter what situations a person enters, I will never advise anyone to invest in the Bitcoins with a loan. Because it’s not a good idea for a person to invest in bitcoin by taking a loan, as anything can happen at any time, and once something happens, they will be under frustration because they need to repay the loan back if the duration of the loan is due.

The idea sounds of taking a loan and investing in Bitcoin sound kind of attractive, when you think about it this way: You take a loan and invest in Bitcoin when the price is down and sell off to repay when the price goes up. But the honest truth is that when we take a closer look at the idea there are some risks attached to it. One of such risk is Emotional Stress. Now owing someone( debt) is already stressful and burdensome on it's own, now combining it with Bitcoin's volatility can make an investor feel pressured and lose sight of the bigger picture which is that Bitcoin reward comes in the long term and then that investor may be forced into panicking, and even selling off at the wrong time.
Yeah, there are big risks attached to it because Bitcoin is unpredictable; everything can happen at any moment. If he/she thinks they’ve bought the bitcoins when the price is down and then thinks that the price might go high within a week, the price of bitcoins might shock them that when you’re expecting that it will rise, at that same time, it will continue to go down.
16  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin investment for the elderly. on: September 24, 2025, 08:57:33 PM
Imagine I am a person from the seventies. I know nothing about current technology and Bitcoin.
Hearing the talk of Bitcoin around, I felt that I also need to invest here.
Now what advice would you give me? Which advice will have the highest chances of profiting from investment if I follow it?

In my case, questions are very important for beginners. You should provide your best opinion here. So that the opinions are useful for those who want to start investing in Bitcoin.
The Bitcoin investments don’t matter if you’re under age, as long as you have a little knowledge about how the bitcoins works and also have the capital that you will use to start up the investments. That’s all Because if we say the Bitcoin investment is all about the age before a person can invest, I think the number of those that will be into the Bitcoin investment will not be that much since the way the young ones are rushing into the Bitcoin investment, the elderly people will not be able to rush it like them.

That’s why the elderly populations were very few in the bitcoins investment. So in this case the only things that I can tell you now is for you should seek knowledge and understanding of how the bitcoin investments operate so that even when you start the investments, you will not face many challenges.

I created this thread to help newbies secure their account so they won't get hacked other old members that will fine it useful can apply it too so there account will be secured, all this hackers target reputable accounts more.
You created this thread to help the newbies but I think the thread can be useful for all the general members here both the old members and the newbie’s. Because the hackers can be able to deal with everyone, since nobody experts if we’re thinking that we wise the hackers are well wisely than us that’s why is very important for each an everyone to keep tneir account save with a strong password; so that it will avoid us fall in their victim.

1. Use a very strong password:
If you know you didn't use a wrong password please change it now to a very strong password use the forgotten password option and then change it, use a mix of latter's, numbers and symbols to create a strong password.
Using a strong password is very important to us. Because that’s the only way we can able to defeat the hackers, if not with the way those hackers are making a deeper research about how they will able to get access to people accounts just to hack them easily; that’s why we also need to be smart enough.

Levante 1 Vs Real Madrid 4
It's 85 minutes of play and the league leaders are totally in control of this very encounter and Alonso's men are playing better and better in each game but I still await for them to have the real test by meeting and beating other big teams. This game is so incredible that since the season started I think this is the highest number of goals they have scored so far which means the team is improving. I know they will still be better than this judging from what Alonso is currently doing with his boys.
Nothing surprising about the score despite that Real Madrid played at away. The mood of Madrid is such that Levante could not withstand and that is already confirmed by not only the score but also the statistics of the match. Both Vini and Mbappe had their moments to shine as they found the net without stress. I agree with you that Real Madrid seems to be getting better as time goes.
A great performance from Real Madrid against Levante tonight. Their performance was very impressive this season. Real Madrid is trying to challenge Barcelona in La Liga; that’s why they’re trying as much as they can to make sure they win every one of their matches. Today’s match was a very surprising one to me. Because I didn’t expect that they could have scored up to 4 goals.

But indeed, with their much effort, they were able to score goals with their best players, Vini and Mbappe. This shows that this season those two players are willing to bring out a positive result for the team, unlike last season, when they had a very bad season. Let's see how long they will shine this season.

There is still doubt whether Chelsea are the best team in the Premier League this season. No one can become the best team by winning the FIFA World Cup. In the last match, Chelsea were unlucky to lose their main goalkeeper in the 5th minute of the match. Even Manchester United took advantage of Chelsea's 10-man team in a very short time. United took the lead in the match by creating a 2-0 goal gap in the first half. But in the extra time of the first half, both teams became equal teams of 10 men and the game regained an even rivalry. In the second half, Chelsea was able to reduce the gap by only 1 goal and lost the match. No team is the best or neglected yet. All still have a good chance to return to consistency.
We all know that this season Chelsea have improved a little bit compared to their last season's performances, but I think it’s too early to choose them as the favorite team in the Premier League, or do you forget that this season there are a lot of teams that are well prepared to compete for the league? And that’s why we’re expecting the competition to be very tough this season.

As it stands now, Liverpool has already taken the lead with the highest points at the top of the table, but that doesn’t mean that they will be able to remain in the top position forever, because they are only ahead of Arsenal and other teams by just 5 points, and when those teams begin to win almost every one of their matches now, Liverpool will be in a little bit of pressure.

Maybe the positive experience is relaxing myself and having fun as I said before. Win or lose will not be a problem for me because I just want to fill my free time with gambling. I know gambling can cause me difficulty to stop but I manage to stop gambling immediately.
And that’s best for you, as you do stop gambling immediately because you’re not going to be able to afford it in the long term because of the financial situation that you will later find yourself in. There’s one thing I experienced with gambling: if you start gambling newly and on your 1st and 2nd day you win all the games you bet on, it will encourage you more, and you’ll think that’s how it’s going to continue, whereby there’s also a big risk. By the time you begin to lose, you will understand that gambling is not for everybody.

I don't want to get deeper into gambling so I don't gamble very often and only when I have some free money, I will gamble. I am also doing other things in my free time so I can keep my mind and not think about returning to gambling when I am in my free time.
Getting very deeply into gambling is not a good idea because by the time you get deeper into it, you will be out of control of your money. Forget saying you’ve free money; immediately you get addicted to the gambling, and you won’t know which one is free money again because you will begin to touch even your savings money. That’s the logic of gambling.
