You did not understand the idea that I am trying to convey: in the 1/8 finals of the Europa League, the first places in the groups will play against the winners of the pairs “second places in the Europa League versus third places in the Champions League.” Therefore, any team that takes first place in the group can ultimately meet with a very strong team from the Champions League - straight into the 1/8. The actual benefit of taking first place is that you don't have to play an extra two games to get to the 1/8 finals.

In my opinion, there are quite interesting quotes for the game Aston Villa - City:

4.21 - 4.12 - 1.72

Despite the fact that City are stricken with a drawn series and cannot win head-to-head matches against direct competitors, bookmakers rate them very highly. The difference between the teams is only 1 point. Should we expect City to "revert to the mean" and start winning, or will they finally lose? If they lose, a third loss in 15 games would be highly unusual. Therefore, I would rather bet on City drawing again (although I am biased as I rooting against them).

If we talk about the theoretical situation, Bayer still have an advantage - firstly, for Bayern to catch up with them, they still have to win the game in hand. Secondly, even if Bayern wins, the teams will have an equal number of points, but the remaining head-to-head game will be on Bayer's field where they can tip the scales in their favor. But these are theoretical considerations, it is clear that Bayern actually remains a very big favorite.

Such victories give confidence to the players. In the last 4 games Roma scored 10 points, a very good result. There will be a very difficult section of the championship ahead (Fiorentina - Bologna - Napoli - Juventus - Atalanta - Milan LOOOL) and now is the time to score points because later it will be much more difficult.
Surprisingly, this third season for Mourinho, although it started badly, is now becoming good. They have every chance to get into the top 4.

City are the favorites, but it’s quite suspicious that in the games with Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham they only scored three points (and conceded 8 goals), don’t you think? I don't know what this means or if they're on a decline, but obviously they're not as dominant as they were last season. The upcoming game against strong Aston Villa should perhaps clarify something.

Before the game, I wrote that I didn’t believe that Bayer’s winning streak would be that long, and that Dortmund would lose three games in a row, and that’s what happened, the forecast came true. Unfortunately, I predicted a victory for Dortmund, but the draw interrupted both of these series and most likely turned out only in favor of Bayern. But the whole fight is still ahead - in order for Bayern to equal Bayer, they need to win their game in reserve.

It ended 3-0, it's a pity. I hoped that Inter would not be so clearly in the lead. And yes, in Serie A they really are monsters - they have a goal difference of +26, no one can boast  even nearly of such efficiency in the game. It’s good that Juventus is not far behind and perhaps we will see some intrigue.
I’m glad that Roma returned to the top 4, even if their position there is very precarious, but after such a disgusting start, this is a great result.

So, I think we can sum up the intermediate results: City had three serious games in a row (Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham) and scored only 3 points in these games. I think that this result is very far from the champion's. Aston Villa are ahead (which are only one point behind City) and if we follow the logic of events we should see a draw again 
At the same time, bookmakers estimate the probability of City's title to be approximately 1.1, which seems crazy to me. Let's see how they adjust their assessment after this round.

But can't a difficult game happen right away in the 1/8? If I remember correctly the regulations, the second places in the groups will play knockout matches with the clubs that will take third place in the groups in the Champions League. These can be very strong clubs like PSG, Milan or Newcastle. And then the first places in the group stage of the Europa League will play with the winners of these games.

Bookmakers assess the chances of teams in this way:

1.98 - 3.72 - 3.38

I think Villarreal is underrated. Let’s say the teams have approximately the same number of points and Villarreal has more losses than Sevilla (7 versus 5), but Sevilla has only 2 wins while Villarreal has 4. If the game goes according to a scenario favorable for Villarreal (for example, they can score a goal first) then I think Sevilla will have a maximum chance of a draw. Therefore, if I were to bet in this game, I would bet on Villarreal.

Nice are still good and after this round they are guaranteed to retain second position. The problem is that in Ligue 1 there is PSG and, as always, they came out on top. It is quite remarkable that just recently they were behind, and now their advantage is 4 points, which allows them to even lose and still remain in the lead. I don’t see any point in assessing any Ligue 1 club relative to PSG - they’re on a different level. At their level, Nice shows excellent results, they have only one defeat and have the best defense in the league - only 5 goals conceded.

In the case of Guirassi, gambling is justified since its purchase by modern standards will be almost free. On his part, the transfer would also be the right decision, since he will obviously sign a contract with a higher salary, plus he will get to show himself in the Premier League in a good club and even play in the Champions League.
As for the success of football players at United, this is a swamp that, with the arrival of Ten Hag, was able to swallow even Casemiro, who was one of the best defensive defenders in the world, if I were Gyurassi, I wouldn't risk it with United 

As I understand it, in order for Shakhtar to qualify, they need to win with a goal difference of at least +3. This seems extremely unlikely, which is why the chance of them qualifying is estimated at 5.88.
Hmm... although Shakhtar's chances of winning with a handicap of -2 goals are estimated at 40. Why is there such a difference - it shouldn’t exist because these are equivalent events?  

It's funny that despite 6 defeats, United had zero draws and, accordingly, United were able (albeit sometimes painfully) to win 8 games. This, unfortunately, was detrimental for United because if Ten Hag had been fired earlier, maybe United would have at least been able to get into the 1/8 of the Champions League and have a little more points in the Premier League.
Now, despite the fact that United are in 7th place (by the end of the day they could drop to 8th), their entire “game” can be seen in the goal statistics: 16 scored and 17 conceded. A shameful indicator.

If the cryptans are so stupid that they don’t see the difference between “catch/punish criminals” and “deprive all people of their rights to avoid potential crimes,” then this is a completely fair outcome.
And by the way, the money received for flipping hamburgers can only be spent with permission from officials, so as not to increase the carbon footprint or anything else. But this is not slavery, this is all for your good!  

М шта?
Этот форум задумывался как форум со свободой слова вплоть до того что "скамы не модерируются", то есть вас тут могут наебать и ободрать как липку, но как бы это побочные эффекты которые не настолько важны как свобода слова. А теперь получается что наебать вас все еще могут, зато миксеры вы обсуждать не можете под угрозой бана. Ну прям никакого отступления от "первоначальной задумки форума".

Разве борьба за приватность и нецензурируемость это не то ради чего криптаны всё дело затевали?
Миксеры это то что реализует необходимую для крипты функцию, которую козлы разрабы битка даже пытались непосредственно в битке реализовать в виде stealth транзакций до того как в овощей полных превратились.

И да, пора всем криптанам перестать страдать шизофренией и пытаться усидеть на двух стульях жить в выдуманном мире: нецензурируемый/приватный инструмент обладает своими свойствами независимо от того кто им пользуется честный человек или педофил. Так же как свобода передвижения и прочее. Если вы хотите отказаться от своих свобод чтобы "заодно" и преступники пострадали, то просто возвращайтесь в фиатный концлагерь, где даже налички скоро не будет а вашими собственными деньгами вы будете пользоваться по разрешению вашего хозяина чиновника (с учетом углеродного следа и прочих выдумок).

Ten Hag, as always, was late (although even on time he makes strange decisions, or vice versa early... in short, he made a mistake again) with the substitutions. The wooden Rashford and Martial should have been changed at half-time. And another double substitution 10 minutes before the end of normal time. I would rather believe that Newcastle will score than that United will come back.

Yes, I also think the season is over. Al-Hilal is too strong, I haven't checked the bookmakers' odds but I think after this round they estimate Al-Hilal's odds for the title to be about 1.1. It is very sad that global changes are taking place in the league, but the dominance of one club does not change. Let's hope that at least in the Champions League Al-Nasr will be able to do something against their main opponent.

A dubious statement (and this is not a praise of the Premier League, although it is the strongest league in the world, but only a statement of the differences between round-robin tournaments and tournaments with playoffs). For example, Inter last season, with some luck, could have beaten City in the final. If we take into account their easiest path to the final, it would not be a title in 7 games, but, say, a title in 3 games. There is too much randomness in the Champions League compared to round-robin tournaments where the strongest clubs are determined much more accurately.

Isn't the release clause fixed under the terms of the contract? The question is which club the forward will choose. But in general, I don’t even know how to feel about him - throughout his entire career (and he’s not young anymore - 27 years old) he played averagely (sometimes weakly) and here he’s showing such a great season. Where is the guarantee that he will be able to repeat the next season in a new club with approximately the same efficiency?
