But Tottenham's condition itself is also not on a good track even though the team will be coached by a new coach next season and I am also not sure that Tottenham will last longer in the Champions League next season. However, for a player's consideration in order to make his career better, it is clear that there is and it will definitely be decided soon by Mbeumo in terms of where he will land next season.

Frank's performance at Spurs would be better off if he has more players joining him from Brentford - Mbeumo he's coached for more than 5 years, the both will influence a better team work in Tottenham. However, the UCL may not be a close achievement for Spurs to attain due to the hefty top class teams that'll be competing next season, yet no harm in trying. Tottenham will give the player what Man U can't offer which is participating in the league of champions.

Public figures like celebrities can influence the way people dress, talk, and make hairs but have lesser impact on sport choice, it could affect gambling decisions, of course. Politicians and rich men play golf, yet a lot of their followers don't engage in such games. People would bet because Drake did, but a typical African will not watch NBA because Drake paid for the front-row. They're places where certain games don't prosper or progress, people in different regions focus on unique games suitable to them, it works like a magic not an influencing thing.

I understand your point. Do you think that limiting the way they train will save them from injuries, especially those players that are prone to injury. I don't think that if Arteta limits their training time or soften their training will be good, because it might affect some of the players performance. All players are not the same, some are very strong, careful when on the pitch. Some are resistant to little injuries.

Could it be a stepping stone for Arsenal Managers? 10 years ago Wenger was also accussed of overworking Arsenal players and at same time not purchasing players that substitute key players to regain strength. It's not limiting, but changing how they're trained to play in the pitch, it appears exhausting. These players always have injuries ranging from Muscle pull, Ligament,  Tendons, Hamstrings etc that eases the notion that the injuries are from aggressive tackling from opponents, and marks excessive training as the main cause.

On the other hand, if the team spend lots of time mastering how to hold ball for a long time and exhibiting sweet football in the pitch, it can be reduced and focused on long passes which would take opponents off the sight of key strikers. Nobody would withstand the way Arsenal plays without trying to rough them, and it happens too often that it then leads to injury, coupled with the training schedule.

I am sure Xabi Alonso can give his best even though in his first season he fails to bring Real Madrid to win the Champions League because it does take time to change the team according to the playing pattern that he expects.

He's getting acquainted with the players gradually and also has little time to train against their next debut on Wednesday playing AI Hilal. After the match it'll be easier to speculate what the future holds for the new Coach. You can't be sure if he'd not lift the champions league at first glance. Arne slot won the EPL in his first season with Liverpool, so anything can happen if Alonso's strategy proves effective he'd come out a champion.

Yeah true, I also think that the club also lacks squad depth, in the sense that, when the main players for a particular position is maybe injured for a particular period of time maybe 4 -12 weeks. In his period of absence who takes over, is the substitute player effective enough to at least fill in the boots for that period of time his away? I think that's another Arsenal problem too. If the main players get fatigued or injured do they have reserves that can perform at top levels, I guess no.

Arsenal is battling this existing problem that kills their efforts as a team, every EPL club has a loophole that's so hard to fix, take Liverpool for instance, their right back isn't proficient for a while now, and they've not fixed it. Arsenal would find it hard to resolve similar dispute in the coming season. If it'll cost the club a lot to place strong substitute for injury prone players, they could adjust the way they train and upgrade medical departments to sustain key players till end of season. Liverpool didn't experience a thing like that, Sallah played all through with lesser challenges. Arteta can adopt the method that works, and build on time.

I don't know what have gotten into people's head that they will come out with a legalized scam all in the name of gambling, because we all know that nobody knows when rapture will take place. It's just like you saying that you are betting on if the world will come to an end by the end of this year. If it happens so, who will take the money when all would be gone. This is pure bullshit. Poly market is taking gambling to a different direction.

People who wager on 'No' is likely to win a lot at the end of the year, Jesus isn't coming back here this year, and no christian would say for sure when it's right for their lord and savior to show up. Because nobody wants to be in hell, the sins are much and growing faster. However, such bets are not ok, at a push Christians don't take things like this too personal, it could be fun but it's far beyond it, Polymarket shouldn't go about doing things that'll make religious leaders to frown too much on gambling again. Although it won't make huge impacts as it did before, yet most people will see reasons to condemn the art.

kylian mbappe will regret leaving PSG because one of the reasons he lift PSG was because they where on able to lift the champions League trophy and he really wanted to do it.
With the way PSG played this seasons champions League I believe next season they will still have a chance to fighting for the trophy however it still won't be easy for them because other clubs will do everything possible to make sure they also lift the trophy.

The Day France won Germany for a third place battle, I could see the quick reaction in Dave's face (a friend) who probably fans Mbappe, when I asked him what if Mbappe's presence was the reason behind PSG's champions league failures in the past? For sure that's a superstitious question, yet it boils down to one of the things that could be going through the mind of fans or even the French player, who would regret why he left his club in a hurry in search of a champions league title.

Of course they'll be no going back when I'm feeling that combo, though 50/50 opportunities requires close examination before giving it a shot, the aid is intriguing. However, it gets to be a trap for being a loan, in the sense that the previous winner may be in a hot soup if his prediction fails and as well has no extra funds to pay back. But in that mode, it'll be hard to ignore or refuse such a golden assistance

Currently, Man United seems to be trying to fix and sharpen this. Previously, they had succeeded in bringing in Matheus Cunha from Wolves at a fairly large price. However, it seems that the transfer was still not enough to strengthen their front line, so now Man United is again approaching the Nigerian striker. Victor Osimhen is indeed a young talent who is quite promising to be the spearhead of the Red Devils, but the transfer value for his move and his salary are quite high, I am worried that if Man United forces themselves to recruit Osimehen, this could affect and worsen their financial condition.

It's quite a pity that the red devils lost Viktor Gyokeres in the radar of strikers on their wishlist, because he wants to compete for the champions league. They now have to go for Osimhen at all cost, still it's not a closed deal, but an old time player of Man U 'Ferdinand' feels more comfortable having the Nigerian join the club than Gyokeres, as Osimhen has a proven track record of excelling in different leagues, and internationally, which shows a unique sense of accomplishment in the striker. As for the fees if the devils can't procure him, they'll have to regret it because Arne slot is also a serious suitor.

The final match between PSG and Inter Milan was indeed a surprise to many people, especially since the score was also unusual, namely 5:0. It was something that was unimaginable before the match and even the finals that have occurred in the Champions League have never had a score that much. So PSG cannot be understood by all the teams that have faced them last season, namely the teams you mentioned, and I hope PSG can continue like that next season with some improvements because overall PSG's performance is clearly quite extraordinary when compared to other teams.

Before the game nobody would have agreed that inter will concede all that goals, it's surprising indeed, but looking at the playing pattern of PSG; absorbing pressure and using it as an advantage for counter attack, Inter had no chance. However, the technique is not hidden, every team knows about the way PSG operates in the midfield, yet can't figure a way out on pitch. So the club conceals and interswitch lot of structural information from what the media already knows.

America is trying to lead Iran to the same fate as Iraq, Libya and Syria. For many years, the US has been trying to prevent the expansion of nuclear technology in this economically devastated country with US sanctions on Iran and the latest is using Israel shamelessly. This can create a turbulent situation throughout the world. Fear of nuclear war.

American is already in the war, and Trump is open about supporting Isreal's attack on Iran since they don't want a deal. Aside agreeing to America's terms, Trump doesn't want Iran to be a rich country his goal is to place them in bad position financially. Because he believes that if Iran has no money, they'll not think of building a nuclear weapon, or begin any war.

Few big names already rejected this chance while few not considered even they were looking much better than Gattuso who is having first time at this job while his record in clubs are also not good which can give any encouragement for Italians to have better chance of qualification. Gattuso had not enough time for doing things on balance which is the problem for him, but they can do some good in coming matches which will surely give them good confidence if they are able to have better results and chance of qualification.

Gabriele Gravina the president of FIGC praised him as a symbol of Italian football, and he trusts Gattuso's motivation and professionalism, also the experience he's got from other clubs which may not be satisfactory to fans. But, the Italian Football federation doesn't have all the time to wait for the right person to do the job, more than two appointees turned them down already, they must start from somewhere. The task ahead is complicated for the Italians who need more goals to stay alive in the group stage, and Gattuso's presence there isn't enough, yet it's better than going for someone who is worse and inexperienced.

I tell you what, with the signings of Frimpong, Wirtz and soon Kerkez, Arne Soot is cooking. We are going to start the season as favourites to defend the PL title.

With a starting XI of -

Alisson, Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Wirtz, Gakpo, Salah, Luis Diaz

Who is going to be able to stop that?
Arne Slot is definitely cooking something dangerous for the coming season despite finishing the season as league champions. I bet the goal is to remain up and dominate the league like Manchester City did for the 4-6 years. Liverpool are following in that direction with the signings they are completing this summer, it will be difficult competing against them for the title next season.

Frimpong isn't a perfect right back for the reds, similar to Alnold the guy he replaced, that position always dangles in Liverpool would they make similar mistake next season? Who knows how well Frimpong would perform in that wing. Slot, must correct the notion that he got to lead the EPL by luck via Arsenal's and city's injury outbreak, through defeating other competitions. He lost the FA cup, champions league and league cup final. If he strengthens the wing back and central striker position he'd be able to outsmart city and the gunners again and again, and find a place in winning other leagues.

Burnout can create health and mental issues if not addressed and given attention. This is the reason why we have leaves in our work availability; use them when you experience burnout.

Burnout stems from too much work, peer pressure, and sometimes, in relationships, taking a break is necessary. You must have a safe space where you can be in your phase.
We all suffer from burnout, and we have to give it attention and address it in our own way or we will have a mental breakdown.

The good news is that it has a rememedy, but to a level of exhaustion people allow it to stay unchecked then find Cynicism ruling their decisions, everything begin to look, and sound negative; opportunities, people, or even choices. Self care is a solid remedy to it, having a long night of sleep close to 9 hours, eating balanced diets, and a little bit of push up, helps to relax the brain.

many people were shocked with the performance of PSG in the UEFA champions league final. initially i was even thinking that they will not make it through the group stage all the same they were able to. I was actually surprised by there performance when they won city and Liverpool back to back.l believe there manager Enrique luis did his best and there victory was as a result of his hard work.I never for once thought they will win inter Milan and also there topping there local league.I really hope they continue with this there good performance this coming season.
Honestly, it would have been a shock if PSG had failed to get out of the group stage. In the very end, when they had a few decisive matches left, they played really well. But I think the difficulties in the group stage were only because PSG under Enrique were gradually gaining form, and when they reached the Champions League playoffs, it was already clear how much they were improving. By the time they made it to the final, they were in their best shape. So I do not see anything surprising here, it is just a very impressive approach from Enrique.

For a club that kicked out Liverpool, Man city, Anston Villa and Arsenal, dismantling Inter to a 5:0 defeat wasn't a surprise. They were outstanding including Desire Doue in the match doing his best as a young star. Inter couldn't stand the playing strategy of PSG just as the top English teams weren't able to decode it. The Perisians only got better unannounced.

Learning how to spot someone who has an open mind is also key, because you don't really want to waste time arguing about crypto if your partner in question is adamant about it. Not to mention, it can stain your relationship if you don't know where to stop.


Communicating with the right people saves time and builds confidence, being snubbed by total strangers will only degenerate the zeal to go further advocating for Bitcoin. The goal is to seize few minutes to interact with people you've known around you but still have not had a solid conversation ever since. They turn out to be a social currency that may be willing to discuss and ask questions about Bitcoin in a dinner night, restaurant or bar. No need for arguments.

What bullshit, if you want to get rich with bitcoin all you have to do is buy and HODL. And I don't care if Saylor said that, he's a very smart guy but even they say bullshit from time to time.

You know for sure that's not the only way to get wealthy in Bitcoin, countless startups have made crazy profits in crypto just by gathering social media presence and initiating offline conferences to build trust around their projects.

But for this next season I can't make a prediction whether PSG will be able to maintain that again. Because some strong teams are also improving themselves by looking at players who are worthy of being recruited through the transfer market.

Next season will change with all the new arrivals of top stars into different clubs. Strategies and tactics would take a new dimension for PSG. Considering that other clubs have understood their previous defensive tactic that worked last season. I expect Enrique to come up with something new that'll outsmart that of other champions.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season on: June 13, 2025, 11:46:40 PM
Inter didn't need much fast attacking playstyle to conquer PSG — that's something PSG excels at. What's very frightening about PSG right now is their midfield. PSG midfield made Liverpool's midfielders look like a joke and even Arsenal midfielders (rice + oddegard) were outworked by PSG's?

A better match up would've been PSG vs Barcelona.

They have a strategic way of cunning their opponents into unbearable areas and place dembele out of the crowd to build up for a strong clap back. Barca's defense is not capable enough to fully withstand this kind of attack and they'll always fall prey to PSG's strategy, yet both teams would score.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season on: June 13, 2025, 10:31:50 PM
Now it's all gone and Barcelona have to pay the price for their own mistakes because they couldn't hold on to the lead. Inter play more motivated when they're ahead, they're better at defending, but if Inter go behind first they'll be more disorganized. PSG really know how to put Inter under pressure and how to make Inter play more openly, it's all because PSG took the lead first.


Oh no! Inter fell into a trap. They overcommitted into gaining the lead, which is exactly the strength of PSG's defensive prowess - holding on to a terrifying counter attack. Basically,  a team with a persisting attacking force enough to get beneath PSG's defense can easily score the club. Arsenal is a kind of club that pressures PSG, Inter is always likely to lose against PSG.

Over the years the only experience that matters as a bitcoiner are these two communication skills; Spoken and written. Having both is much more beneficial than holding one of it. Aside that being a bitcoiner doesn't mean you should know everything about the network and neglect the ability of sharing it amongst people around you, without shoving it down their throat.

Advocacy I would say does to us what membership is to the human body. It makes the whole process complete and natural, the best contribution about this technology could be from a close friend who knows nothing about it, but after a brief conversation on the ecosystem they pick up immediately and do something unique. Had Hal Finey hid his knowledge of Bitcoin from his wife, the running Bitcoin initiative would have a lesser performance by now, because that woman is doing a great job in maintaining the project left by her husband.

In Bitcoin 2025 conference, CEO of mIcro strategy, Micheal added communication amongst his 21 ways to wealth as a bitcoiner. He used himself as an example, saying that a lot of people knew Bitcoin before him but today he's an advocate and speaks to CEOs, Top business men across the world about Bitcoin. However he never mentioned what made him change his mind, because he must have been among the people who knew Bitcoin earlier and didn't consider doing it immediately.

In the forum, here, every member advances in written communication as it's a must have skill needed to show full membership in the community. I bet you a lot of people have been here before a lot of us, but chose not to write. Maybe they prefer talking or doing what the domain name says. But in the real world, spoken communication has shown a much better impact on the ecosystem. People watch conferences at home and some attend, it's a solid skill to consider practicing, the first move and they'll be no going back.

On the other hand, The AI is distracting our loved ones and we've learnt how bad it is to our families who don't get taught about it, as bitcoiners allowing those tools to take all of our social currencies from us could put us in a bad shape or in the hand of a market manipulated by something we wouldn't be able to convince to stop from doing what it's doing.

In a nutshell, being able to address a room filled with thousands of people about Bitcoin is a thing that's coming to everyone of us at a fast speed, soon these conferences will be done close to our societies and it'll be fun to attend and talk as well. So, it's best it doesn't meet us as a surprise.

What are your advances in spoken communication, especially when answering questions asked by a fella about crypto or Bitcoin. Share your thoughts,  cheers.
