Very disappointing performance from Manchester United, i also thought they could win the match because i missed the first 20 minutes and after seeing Manchester United take an early lead i thought they were playing well and rushed out to watch the match and i was disappointed with the way they were playing, they lacked confidence with the ball and lost almost every ball at their feet. From seeing their performance i just knew they couldn’t win the game anymore, if Manchester City sees too much of the ball they will keep pressing and pressing until they get  the goal and that was what happened in the second half.

Excellent first goal from Foden, he gave the keeper no chance. Foden was excellent in the match, he scored two goals again and he is like a nightmare for United’s defenders. Haaland was also able to increase his goal tally as he scored the last goal from a defensive error. It was a brilliant overall performance from Manchester City they played well and deserved to win.
It is always difficult to stop Manchester City if the players are not calm in controlling the pressure. Manchester City had a big lead in their home game and that allowed them to really dominate the game, but all their efforts in the first half failed due to lack of good finishing and Onana's good performance.

Of course, Foden made everything better when Haaland, Rodry, De Bruyne failed with their chances. Phil Foden scored 2 goals and 1 additional goal from Haaland closed the match for Manchester City's victory. So in the end Manchester United was unable to match Manchester City in terms of play. They lost everything and that's why Manchester City are favorites in the derby match.

The officiating in La Liga is surprising more and more. It is certainly not often seen, when the referee stops an attack with a whistle right before the goal, while before the goal was literally a second or two, as if the referee blew the whistle when he saw that the attack could end in a goal. In general, in the end I think it was necessary to give a penalty in Real's goal, when a Real player instead of the ball hit the legs of a Valencia player, but the referee did not give a penalty and maybe after this mistake he decided that it was necessary to help Valencia and in the last seconds deprived Real of a deserved victory.
In my opinion, the referee's decision was very controversial, he made Real Madrid fail to win the match even though at that time the match had already gone on for more than injury time. Not only at the end of the second half, the referee also did it at the end of the first half when Valencia was also building an attack.

I don't know what happened to the referee and what made him forced to end the match when the team was building an attack, but his decision was very detrimental to Real Madrid. Similar things might happen to other teams and also harm them, but Real Madrid tends to benefit rather than suffer.

It's hard to believe and it's a truly extraordinary result. Darwin Nunez's spectacular goal at the end of the match clearly made Liverpool's grip stronger at the top of the standings and even though he couldn't field a full main squad, Klopp was able to mix up his team very well. Today Liverpool fans are very happy and the Reds players have really shown a winning mentality.
It was a very important win for Liverpool even though I really thought they would end the game goalless. Nottingham tried to make this match end in a draw, but the plan ultimately failed even though they wasted time in several moments. Liverpool were really lucky with almost 10 minutes of added time and they managed to take advantage of it with a winning goal.

In the end, this victory will make Liverpool take a deep breath because they have done their job well. Liverpool managed to lead the standings with a 4 point advantage over Manchester City, so now the pressure will shift to Manchester City who will play against Manchester United. Manchester City must win to maintain a 1-point gap with Liverpool, but the pressure is already increasing.

One thing about Liverpool is that even in the last minute of this game they can win it, so Nottingham Forest need to take their chance anytime they get it to try to get an advantage and have some goals ahead before Liverpool's scores because we know that they will surely score as they do in almost every game that they have played this season. Just as Diaz had a good chance, Elanga also had a good opportunity too to score for Nottingham forest but he could not convert it. If it was Taiwo Awoniyi with the chance that Elanga had, there is a bigger chance that he would have scored because he has good game performance against big teams and good record of scoring against them even when his team looses finally. If he is introduced into the second half early enough, he can be a big challenge to Liverpool defenders.
Both teams had the opportunity to score goals in the first half, but each opportunity was not successfully converted into a goal. The first half ended in a goalless draw even though Liverpool really dominated this match. Nottingham plays well in defense, they are also good when building attacks occasionally, but their chances of winning are not higher than Liverpool.

In other matches, Newcastle and Chelsea were both ahead in the first half against Wolves and Brenford, Fulham also led 0-2 against Brighton. Liverpool's match is very interesting because they have to avoid dropping points, so the second half will probably be fiercer than the first half.

Liverpool, Man City, and Arsenal certainly always target victory in every match they play because that's the only way to win the Premier League trophy this season. Liverpool has an earlier schedule than Man City and Arsenal, and I think there will be a bit of a burden on Liverpool because of it. But, if Liverpool can realize that victory, then that burden will be shifted to Man City and Arsenal because they have to win to maintain their chances in the title race.

My guess is with the current conditions and the performance that Liverpool have. It wouldn't be difficult for Liverpool to beat Nottingham Forest, though they would be playing as a guest because as you said, Liverpool is on fire at the moment.
The pressure is on Liverpool at the moment as they cannot afford to make mistakes and drop points. Nottingham is basically not very strong, but Nottingham could be a team that will surprise if Liverpool is not really able to take advantage of its opportunities. The match has been going on for more than 20 minutes, but no goals have been scored so this doesn't look like an easy match for Liverpool.

Liverpool's performance in their last 4 matches is very impressive, but I don't really see Nottingham as worthy of being underestimated. Anthony Elanga almost scored a goal, but was lucky to be saved by Caoimhin Kelleher. Luis Diaz also almost scored a goal, but he failed to take advantage of the big opportunity well.

It is impossible to expect all bitcoin users not to sell their bitcoins when the price is favorable. The average bitcoin user is an investor and trader, while others are those who use bitcoin as a means of payment. If holders and traders do not sell bitcoin, then perhaps miners will do so to cover their operational costs.

Every trader and investor wants returns, so it's unreasonable to expect them to hold bitcoin all time. But at certain times, the percentage of holders may be higher than those trading bitcoin.

One of the Lazio players have been sent off, and with Lazio now playing with just ten men, it gives a lot of advantage to AC Milan to win this game. There is still enough time in the game, and it is a long time for Lazio to try to hold on defensively. The Lazio coach has reacted well by making changes, maybe that will help them. AC Milan coach has also made changes too, to make sure that they make use of the advantage. Both coaches really do not want to lose this game, Lazio will be aiming at a draw game the least, but AC Milan will want to take all three points.
Lazio was forced to play with 10 players from the 57th minute, so maybe Milan will maximize their numerical advantage to win this match. So far Lazio has not conceded even though they have lost one player, but if Milan appears more aggressive and puts Lazio under pressure, goals will soon be scored.

If Lazio loses this match then perhaps the players' performance will not be too good to face Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League. Players' motivation will be very good if they win the game or manage to avoid defeat, but I think it's always difficult to survive without conceding when only playing with 10 players. Milan will maximize their advantage, but Lazio's defense is still quite good until the 75th minute.

Yes, because there is no other hope other than chasing the Champions League trophy at this time because in the Bundesliga Bayern Munich is not strong enough to compete with Leverkusen and the only hope is to beat Lazio after that qualify to enter the quarter-finals.
The problem is, if they can beat Lazio then will Munich be able to continue to be consistent in the quarter-finals, whereas in that round the obstacles will be even stronger because Bayern Munich will definitely be competing against stronger clubs and if this season fails in the CL and Bundesliga, it is possible that Bayern Munich's reputation will decline and of course this is Harry Kane's curse.
Harry Kane Curse, I didn't expect it to be like that. But if that is indeed a curse for him, then Bayern Munich will probably only fail in the Champions League instead of just in the Bundesliga. The smells of failure seem to be real, although I believe Bayern Munich has more quality and ability to turn things around in the second leg. Tuchel will end the season by parting ways with Bayern Munich and this definitely does not bode well for his squad.

Bayern Munich's chances of winning the second leg are certainly very high. Lazio only leads 1-0 on aggregate at home, so I don't think it will be too difficult for Kane et al to catch that aggregate. Lazio of course doesn't want to lose and we should have an exciting match between Bayern Munich and Lazio in the second leg.

Girona's performance seems to be getting worse as the matches end this season. Girona finished the season consistently and until the middle of the season the team was able to maintain their consistency but lately they have not been able to maintain that consistency. Girona have dropped points in a number of matches recently and have not performed as expected, which has seen them drop far down the points table. Where this team was at number one in the points table, this team's position has moved to number two or three in the points table. 
In this situation, if the performance cannot be done as before, then this team will not be able to compete with Real Madrid or Barcelona at all.
It is difficult to maintain consistent performance in any league regardless of how good the squad or players a team has. Girona is a seasonal team that only looks strong as long as the players are highly motivated, but over time the team's performance starts to suffer and they start to lose their best form.

Does this surprise you? I hope not, it was something that was predicted beforehand. Girona might be able to stay in the top four until the end of the season, but of course they will have to work harder to make it happen. This is a fantastic season for them, but as the season progresses the competition increases because all teams need points for their respective plans.

The list is a good start, and it seems unfair to make it shorter. Still, there are users there who haven't posted here in years, like DeathAndTaxes, Mike Hearn, Gavin Andresen, etc. We are also seeing very little of Carlton Banks lately, and that's a guy who knows what he is talking about and deserves a place at the top of such a list if he was more active.

Additionally, gmaxwell and achow101 don't participate in discussions that frequently. So, if I had to reduce your list to 5 users (in no particular order), taking into account those who are very active and still with us, here it is:

  • NotATether
  • ranochigo
  • nc50lc
  • mocacinno
  • pooya87
You probably know that there are over 10K users who have made at least 1 post on that board, so the short list above doesn't mean I don't respect their knowledge of bitcoin. I'm familiar with many of the users on the top 100 list even though I haven't interacted with them much so far.

Some local users that I know also have good technical knowledge, such as:

In the Champions League, PSG will have the opportunity to perform as great as in Ligue 1 because Bayern Munich is not doing well under Tuchel.
This season, PSG's fate in the Champions League competition may be different, even though they will face Bayern Munich if Bayern qualify and PSG progress to the next round.
We don't know who PSG will face if they qualify for the quarter-finals. There are many strong teams that will qualify for the next round, Bayern Munich still has a chance to get there even though they are 0-1 behind in the first leg against Lazio.

PSG will try their best in the second leg even though it is an away match. Winning 2-0 in the first leg makes PSG a little comfortable to face Real Sociedad, but it is impossible to underestimate Sociedad at home. Luis Enrique will be a great coach this season if PSG can get through to the quarter-finals, that's because he has been doubtful since the start of the season.

ATM needs to fight in this first leg so they don't lose this game because since they are currently losing with 1 goal now they need to defend very well so they don't concede more goals since Morata will be back in the second leg. ATM  will surely get a goal if they improve in their performance because right now Bilbao is not letting them get closer to getting a closer attempt on their post  until they are able to force attack to break the defense on Bilbao they may end up losing the game without getting a goal.
Wait, this is the second leg of the Copa Del Rey semi-final where previously Bilbao had won 0-1 in the first leg. Bilbao regained the lead at home by ending the first half with a 2-0 win, making the aggregate 3-0. Atletico Madrid's chances of qualifying for the final are getting lower because after all scoring 3 goals is very difficult.

Atletico Madrid did not perform well in this match and they looked under pressure throughout the match. Bilbao is very confident and the support of the existing supporters is a big motivation to punish Atletico Madrid. The second half should be more interesting, but only if Diego Simeone has good options to make significant changes. For now, Bilbao seem to have put their foot in the final even though they have to finish the second half.

Sometimes Onana can play very good matches without making mistakes, but Nottingham are not the strongest team in attack either. When Manchester United lost to Fulham, I think the second was conceded due to Onan’s fault, maybe not everyone will agree with me, the defenders are also at fault, and the team as a whole was determined to win this match, maybe they were too carried away with the attack and neglected to defend their goal.

Nottingham did what they could, but Manchester United are stronger than them, there is no doubt about that. Rashford seems to play well in moments, but it seems to me that the attacking players do not have a coordinated game, they act separately, there is no necessary interaction.
Nottingham did their best to avoid defeat, but in the end they also had to give up after Casemiro scored a goal a few minutes before the end. Both teams had chances, but strong defense and poor finishing made it difficult for them to score goals.

Manchester United won the match with a score of 0-1 and that was a good enough ending to the match. The next match is very tough, especially because Manchester City does not want to lose the opportunity to take the top of the standings from Liverpool. The derby is very important for Manchester City and I don't think they will give Manchester United many chances.

I guess lot of them who frequently post on Development & Technical Discussion. Most of them are technically knowledgeable users and I had to cut a lot of names out of them because there are more than 1000 users posting there.
Just because someone posts a lot on a technical board does not mean that they are technically knowledgeable forum users or that their posts are helpful and accurate. In this matter, I think that merits and trust feedback have more importance than the mere number of posts.
I think you are right, but if you understand my post well then you don't need to explain it. On average or most of them are users who understand the technicalities of bitcoin, meaning I am not saying that all users who post there are users who understand the technicalities perfectly.

Everyone is different, but many people have mental health problems that affect their children. It is not necessary to blame all problems on gambling, alcohol, drugs, etc. because all problems come from the person himself. A person may not have any addictions, but this does not mean that he is not a despot to his children. I believe that it is possible to solve any problem and get rid of any addiction - it takes desire! Of course, it is a pity for children who are traumatized by their parents. The only thing I can recommend them is to find a good psychologist to work through these moments and help them forget this difficult experience.
The main impact of addiction will be experienced by the addict. Families of gambling addicts do not always feel the impact, especially if the addict does not change their behavior. I see many addicts who are fine with their families and have no change in behavior, but addicts like them are responsible gamblers.

Changes in behavior will only be experienced by irresponsible gamblers. We often hear husbands hitting their wives or children because they lost at gambling, this is the real impact of irresponsible gamblers. I agree that addicts like them need treatment or consultation with a psychologist or specialist, it can help reduce the impact if they really want to change.

The match between the Manchester duo will certainly be an interesting spectacle, so far the two teams have had inversely proportional performances but I am quite sure that both will try to win the derby match with all their might, when talking about the Manchester derby match of course we are not just talking about strategy and score in the match, but every time a club derby is played there will be high rivalry that occurs between the two so that in the end maintaining self-esteem is one of the motivations that makes the players of both teams will play 100% in the match regardless of the performance of the two teams before that the derby match starts.

Indeed, currently Manchester City is above Manchester United in terms of player quality and strategy on the field,however, as I said above, of course Manchester United has very big motivation to be able to maintain their good name as rulers of the city of Manchester, so you can be sure that the match will be very tough and no matter how bad Manchester United's performance is before the derby starts, I am quite sure that the derby match it will only end with a narrow score.
Derby matches are always interesting regardless of who wins the match. So far we probably already know who is the favorite in derby matches, especially in the last few seasons. Manchester City can almost always win matches against Manchester United where they have recorded 6 wins and 1 draw in the last 10 matches in all competitions.

In the last 5 meetings in the Premier League, Manchester City won 4 matches and lost 1. Therefore, I don't think Manchester United will get a win in this derby match because the performance of both teams is completely different.

2023-2024 season.
- Manchester United vs Manchester City 0-3

2022-2023 season.
- Manchester United vs Manchester City 2-1
- Manchester City vs Manchester United 6-3

2021-2022 season.
- Manchester United vs Manchester City 0-2
- Manchester City vs Manchester United 4-1
