The match ended with Arsenal scoring at the last minutes had their goal at 84 minutes and second one at 90+ this is nothing than a narrow escape, but we don't have to consider on all this than what comes after it, that they eventually won, this is what we wanted from them, even. Though as it all looks as if all hope is gone, they still made it in to equalize and won, they tried and have played well and hope they maintain winning at each of their match subsequently.

They had to do the needful by securing all three points which is the most important thing. But arteta needs to avoid starting a game from behind. You don't have to allow your opponent score before you score. But like I said, all three points matters. I'm not sure of how the arsenal fan base and other fans would've reacted to the referee's decision despite the win. We saw a similar incident that got Sanchez sent off, but it was never awarded a pen in this game. I'm not surprised with the flaws and inconsistency in the PGMOL. But, Arsenal had to win the game late, so there won't be too many talks about the incident. Congrats to them.

I got confused and started thinking if really I was the cause of what happened. I want to ask how many of you here have been blamed for someone else losses.

If you were in my shoes how will you feel.

What a silly talk...
I personally dislike people that are entitled. What does he/she mean by I'm the cause of what happened to them. I guess the person was able to lay such accusation probably because you allowed it. We are already living in a generation where too many undisciplined people feel some level of entitlement towards people that whole the nothing.

If I were in your shoes, I honestly won't feel anything.
That's some level of disrespect, so boundaries needs to be set.

 is there any point you guys can contribute to add up?

You should have quoted the writeup above that talked about Bitcoin being used for whatever was mentioned. I have read something like that, but I'm struggling to remember the exact website that I read it from. But I think there were other things written in that same article that talked about Bitcoin, but I'm a bit surprised why your home boy didn't put them into consideration, but rather stick with the bad part.

Of course, people use Bitcoin for illicit activities, but that doesn't make Bitcoin terrible. If we are to judge Bitcoin as an illicit tool, then it would also be fair to call fiat, gold, and every other precious assets as an illicit tool as well, but unfortunately, the media and the supposed content writers won't do that.

This story looks familiar. I might have come across it on X before now, so I want to believe that it is not new. I honestly think that the whole Idea is a shitty one. People just keep looking for ways to merge centralization with Bitcoin. What's the point of introducing another custodial service, calling it a bank, when Cex has proven to have it's own flaws over the years?. Can't believe we are seeing the complete opposite of what Bitcoin was never meant to be.

What are we going to see next?... Probably a Central Bitcoin Bank that governs all Bitcoin banks across the globe. How pathetic...

Madrid lost to ATM, a crushing blow ending in a 5-2 victory. ATM high pressing game overwhelmed Madrid players and disrupted Xabi Alonso tactics. They managed to equalize in the first half, but the nightmare continued after the second half began. Madrid struggled to keep up with ATM, who controlled the game from the start, while Xabi hoped to gain possession of the ball.

This defeat clearly paves the way for Barcelona to take over the top of the standings.

Real Madrid's winning streak finally came to an end today against one of their Biggest Rivals. They where no match for Diego Simeone sides. I have always known Atletico madrid as the physical type of team that wants to dominate every game, especially big ones, for the entire 90mins. Playing against a physical side can be very frustrating for more tactical teams like Real Madrid and Barce.

Congrats to them anyways, and let's see how well Barce can take advantage over their game in hand.

This is the most difficult game week for big clubs. Only Manchester City was able to win today. The rest lost today.

Crystal Palace is the unbeatable club so far. Eddie Nketiah with a late winning goal, gave Crystal Palace all 3 points today.
Manchester United lost against Brentford with Bruno Fernadez losing a penalty kick.
Chelsea played against their nemesis Brighton, even after Brighton selling most of their key players to Chelsea they lost tremendously today.

I knew a day would come when a late minute winner won't be enough for Liverpool, and that day happened to be today. They where close to settling for a draw, but unfortunately for them, Palace proved to us ones again that they have the key to the Liverpool's net. And, I wasn't sure of how the whole week would have been for PGMOL, if eventually that game ended in a draw. Saw a lot of people complaining about the Liverpool's equalizer, which there was an handball from salah during the buildup. I took my time to watch the review, but tbh, it was quite difficult to conclude if the ball actually touched him or not. But I guess Palace got the three points anyways, so there won't be any complaints.

And as for United, well, it's not surprising at all.
Just another game week, but same Manchester united team. They couldn't settle for a draw when they had the opportunity, so they were punished at the end. Same thing for Chelsea. Weekends like these are very rare.

There are people out there who do not want to play gambling at all because they think that once they do, they will fall into addiction. Of course, we know it’s not that immediate nor easy but it makes me wonder whether there’s some truth to that. Is it better to avoid addiction in the first place by completely devoiding yourself of doing that activity instead of playing and getting addicted only to try and recover afterwards?

Everyone should know what works for them. If a person feels that trying out gambling for the very first time can implicate them into addiction, then they should better stay away from it. Prevention they say is better than cure. Though, I'm not sure of people getting addicted all of a sudden just because they try out something for the very first time, but of course, it is possible. Just like I said, prevention is better than cure. Because rehabilitation for addiction can be a lot difficult in recovering from this type of addiction.

Just like others have pointed out, the title of the thread is a bit tough for the actual context itself, though I totally understand the message. Anyone that got to know about crypto in 2023, and decides to practice self custody while investing, ought to have known the importance of their seed phrase. Some of the good wallets that we have today, go as far notifying users on the importance of their seed phrase while creating them.

Scammers don't care about your right. They can perform any social engineering techniques just to get what they want. I don't know if we are supposed to see self custody as a right though, because it is something that is none negotiable, therefore, it is a must.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling has an impact on aging process on: September 26, 2025, 05:00:19 PM
Question is :
Do you feel that you aged fast because of gambling, or do you feel young and vigorous because you are a responsible gambler?

I don't think that gambling necessarily makes us age quick. It is probably the consequences of a wrong approach to gambling, or maybe other areas of life. You see, when gamblers decides to put a lot of efforts into gambling, thinking that it is the best means to earn a living from it, then there should be a consequence like the negativity that surrounds losses. The mental health happens to be the main target, which then starts to reflect on the gamblers daily activities and life style, which later trigger's the quick aging.

Simeone says this after a short time Alvarez's name has started to be called with Barcelona. They say he is wanted by them next summer. I'm not sure about Alvarez to stay as long as Atletico Madrid go on inconsistently because of Simeone.  Tongue

I doubt if Barcelona has all it takes to secure this move.
They watched him Join their rivals and where never interested until now. Alvarez is a crucial player for Diego Simeone, so I don't think it would be an easy task for Barce. And if Atletico madrid feels that they might eventually lose him to Barce at some point, then they might have to sell him quickly because City didn't take it easy on them on his(Alverez) fees. But at this point, Alverez is still a very crucial player, so they need to secure him.

Not everyone comes to the internet to share their story, but you will be surprise to hear that there are so many people going through a certain phase of life where they actually think that they are cursed. It is a phase where they see life as unfair. It only takes a strong mind and believe to get out of such a situation, because so many couldn't make it out. You were lucky to share your problems with someone. Just imagine others that couldn't probably because they feel that no one would listen or care.

Every man has its phase, and phases are different. Only those that can manage to the end and find a way out can live to tell the story.
13  Other / Politics & Society / Re: GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS WHICH OF THE SECTOR IS FUNCTIONING NOW. on: September 25, 2025, 07:23:12 PM
I just don't want to believe that these things happen in every country across the world, though to some extent, it happens especially in third world countries. These government don't prioritize the importance of a solid educational foundation for every child. They leave everything to rot, giving advantage to private sectors to take over the educational system while imposing a cost for it. And it is quite unfortunate that so many people can't even afford these fees.

This problem also span across other sectors like Health care. These things are literally the basic needs that everyone should be entitled to, but some government just make them look like a big deal, thereby allowing private sectors that are not affordable, to take over.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026 on: September 25, 2025, 06:50:36 PM
Liverpool are striking hot and winning every game this season. Getting wins against Arsenal and Everton are important win because they faced very tough opponents who would have caused a loss or a draw but they managed to squeeze out a win in both games which is impressive. I can’t wait to see how they get to play against Palace in the coming weekend.

And that's how you win titles. This season is too early to start playing for a draw. Try as much as possible to win every games as possible because towards the end season might be a bit sloppy. That's how football has been, and that's what has cost Arsenal to keep finishing second for three consecutive seasons. If you can't have a decent start, then you must have a decent finish, and we've seen City use this strategy. While for Liverpool, they tend to have a decent start and try to manage the process till the very end. But Arsenal on the other hand are not even putting effort in the beginning, and towards the end, they might as well sleep off.

A big congratulations to Gyokeres for achieving the trophy for best striker of the year. It’s good to see players get rewards like this for their hard work and devotion. 54 goals in 52 games is an outstanding performance and I am proud of his achievements. I know he will adapt well in the league and the team, with 3 goals already bagged I’m confident he will score more goals this season.

Massive congratulations to him. Well deserved I must say, but the chances of replicating the same thing at Arsenal is very thin. Arteta is not building the team around him in anyway. He still plays like he doesn't have a striker. Zero creativity in the middle. He sometimes prefers to play Merino upfront for certain reasons that I don't understand. I hope Gyokeres doesn't regret his move to Arsenal because of what Arteta is doing. Let's not even talk about his tactical approach to certain games because that's another problem entirely.

What are the characteristics of choosing a gambling site?
Please respond responsibly!

First user experience always matters in everything, and these gambling sites are not exempted. The probability that a user would return after making use of a gambling website is determined by that user's first experience, and that experience can only be as a result of how flexible the user could perform gambling task without too many confusion or questioning. Flexibility can range from multiple deposit and withdrawal payments options, easy navigation of the site, and so many other basic things that every user look forward to. Those where the things that made me continue using the same gambling site for sometime now.
16  Economy / Economics / Re: The Vicious Cycle of Poverty on: September 24, 2025, 10:34:02 PM
Experts say, the only way to break the cycle is through investments.

And even though these investments can come in different forms, it still varies from person to person. There are some people that are only needs financial investments, while there are others that needs self investment, i.e investment in themselves. Poverty is a global problem in every country. Everyone is not born with the same opportunities. Certain people tends to find themselves in the tough side of life which demands a lot from them to break free.

One key investment that I just thought of is the mindset.
Negativity plays a huge role in so many people's poverty today. They are scared of the failures that comes with making attempts. Even if they have other forms of investments, they still won't find ways to utilize them because the mindset is already affected.

Now, wey the suspension don de complete, because i hiaram sey di suspended governor wey be Fugbara go come back to office on di 18/09/2025, my question be say with everything wey don play now, una think sey di governor go still get power to make en own decision? abi na de federal government go de influence en decision?
I need una contribution for dis matta.


I actually heard about this story some months back, but i didn't show much interest because i knew that it was all political. I don't know much about the constitution, but does the president of a country have the constitutional right to suspend a sitting governor without a probable cause?. The minor disagreement between the previous governor and the current governor should relate to godfatherism i guess.

Of course, the governor is going to retain his position and power, but there is already a downgrade to his administration. I guess he will have to dance to their beat from now on so as to remain relevant in the game. It is what it is, that's politics for you.

I don't understand Ekitiké at all! He already had a yellow card in the same half. I guess emotions broke out after scoring the winner but still a really meaningless red card for him.

This could be a good chance for Isak in the starting 11. Arne Slot has been thinking he isn't ready for playing 2-3 games in a week. This will show everyone if he's right or not.

By the way another not-easy win for Liverpool...  Tongue

Not sure if it was all about emotions. A professional football player with a yellow card already should have known better. I guess he was probably trying to make a statement. Being in a competition with a very good striker is definitely something to bother about. Every player wants to be the key main figure in every starting eleven, so I guess that shirt was probably a sign that he can do it better.

Of course, there was no point of doing it anyways, but like I said, he ought to have known better. And it was another game that points out the minor flaws currently in the team. They've been winning their games with a one goal difference for sometime now. Now sure of long this strategy is going to continue.

20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wouldn’t you wish the same? on: September 23, 2025, 06:28:56 PM

Politicians in the country, Philippines, are getting exposed for their lavish lifestyle. It’s even crazier to hear the amount of money they are being exposed to have spent for personal reasons.20 million PHP is around 350,000 USD. This seems to be spent in only a week usually. Don’t you wish it was that easy? Lol. Next time you want to gamble, just be a government official.

I clearly see no reason why someone in government should involve him/herself in gambling. Not sure now, but I think any form of gambling should be unconstitutional in every country. Even if their plan was to gamble with their own personal funds, it's still not enough excuse to start doing it. People can get greedy along the line, and starts using money that belongs to others, like Public funds,  for gambling purposes. Quite sad that government of third world countries are taking advantage of their own people just for their own greedy reasons.
