I don't know and honestly I don't really care about that. Turkish Super League is way bigger than that unncesessary cup match that forced to play abroad. We don't have time to waste with the Saudis and their strange rules. This cup match should've been played in Türkiye from the very beginning and this issue should've been closed long ago. Playing last year's cup in the middle of the season is ridiculous in itself.
League matches will continue this weekend. The league's break was only for a week. The teams didn't camp during this period, didn't make any tactical changes or transfers, and it didn't feel like a half-time break.

Although Arsenal took the lead, Fulham were stubborn and they soon responded. They played the counterattack game very well and scored goals just like a Premier League team. I still think Arsenal will turn the match around and get the 3 points. Even though Fulham is pushing them, Arsenal needs these 3 points very much. There hasn't been a period in which they haven't won 3 matches in a row for a long time. They have to win today and give the fans a New Year's gift.

Yes, that's real. That happened last night. After the disagreement, both teams didn't even go to the stadium. We don't know the details and exactly what kind of bargain was made there. However, we only know what is reflected in the media. Reportedly, there was a dispute with the Saudi authorities regarding the t-shirts the teams would wear during warm-up and the banner they would carry on the field.
It was an interesting night for Turkish football. I'm not sure how this will reflect on the league. It shouldn't affect the players much, but it could affect the federation and officials. There was talk of the resignation of the federation president, but there is no official statement yet.

Boston won without Tatum and Porziņģis. Jaylen Brown carried the team this time. Kornet was very effective, Holiday and White used ball more often but their field goal percentages were low. It could've been easier for Celtics if they shot with more accuracy.
Despite the loss, I liked how Raptors play though. Barnes and Siakam were okay. By the way there's a flash news for Raptors. Anunoby is going to Knicks. They'll get Barrett and Quickley so this may be a positive trade for them.

"Toronto is expected to send OG Anunoby to New York in exchange for RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley."

Yılın son gününde de 2 maç oynanacak, hatta 1 Ocak'ta da maç var. Ancak takvim yılı olarak bakarsak Liverpool'un maçı 1 Ocak'ta olduğu için Arsenal'in 2023'ü zirvede bitirme ihtimali var. Bunun için yarın Fulham karşısında 1 puan alması yetecek. Tabi ki ideali 3 puan alması çünkü son dönemde hesapta olmayan puan kayıpları yaşadılar. West Ham'a yenilmeleri pek düşünülmeyen bir kayıp oldu.

Bugün Manchester City kazanarak yeniden yarışın içinde olduğunu hatırladı. Ligin sonuncusu Sheffield United karşısında hiç zorlanmadılar ve iki golü bulduktan sonra üçüncüyü atmak için uğraşmadılar bile. Bu takıma de Bruyne dönünce çok daha iyi olacaklar. Yaptıkları basit puan kayıplarını telafi edeceklerdir. O yüzden bu arada diğer takımların puan farkını açması gerekiyordu, bunu başaramadılar.

Son olarak Manchester United'a değinmek istiyorum. Yine bildiğimiz gibi 1 ileri 1 geri hareketlerini sürdürüyorlar. Gidip Aston Villa'yı yendiler ama bugün Nottingham Forest'a yenildiler. Forest'ı küçümsemek için söylemiyorum sonuçta Nuno Espirito Santo ile çıkış yaptılar ama United'ın biraz daha dengeli sonuçlar alması gerekiyor. Bu sezon tam bir hayal kırıklığı oldu onlar için.

I thought Al Nassr would win, they scored 3 goals and are leading the match. However, the interesting thing is that Ronaldo had no influence on these 3 goals. Ronaldo neither scored a goal nor made an assist. The goals came from midfielders and defenders. In fact, this situation reveals what quality feet Al Nassr has. They get 3 points with 3 goals from an important away game. They can win even if Ronaldo doesn't affect the score. Of course, without Ronaldo, the viewing rates of the matches may be different (lower).

Ben de bu sene son haftalara kadar yarışın süreceğini düşünüyorum. Nisan ayında hiçbir şey belli olmaz, ne olacaksa Mayıs'ta olur. Hatta tam olarak son haftaya kalabilir. İki takımın da şu anda şansını eşit görüyorum. Hem kadro kalitesi, hem aldıkları sonuçlar hem de arkalarındaki hava bakımından araların bir fark göremiyorum. Keşke daha çok takım şampiyonluk yarışında olsaydı ve daha çekişmeli bir lig izleseydik, ama bu sezon böyle iki takımlı bir çekişme geçiyor.

Manchester City always do that. They scored 2 goals and left it there. Usually people play over 2.5 goals for Manchester City matches and they occasionally finish matches like that and everybody lose their bets. About the game, they were the only side that can produce goals. Sheffield United was behind the ball even in 2-0 score. They know they don't get anything from this match so they tried to concede as less goals as possible. As a result Manchester City won comfortably and chased Arsenal.

It's been an interesting night. Both teams traveled to Saudi Arabia and returned without playing the match. These experiences affected them psychologically. Fortunately, both teams don't have matches until January 7. In the meantime, they will recover.
The league was given a new year's break, but its return will be quick. There are teams that will play 3 matches in 8 days. There will be no half-time camping, there is no such time. There is no time for struggling teams to recover or injured players to recover. When we look at it from this perspective, we can see that many teams are numerically deficient. If the transfer market opens, teams can make up for their shortcomings. For now, things are not going well for teams other than Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray, interestingly.

I think Boston will win against Toronto today. It was an interesting match last night and although they fell behind by a long margin, they managed to turn the match around. They have learned from mistakes and learned not to underestimate the opponent. Celtics, who are doing perfect at home, don't want to break this series. The Raptors aren't bad, but they're not at the level of the Celtics. Porziņģis stepped up a gear. If Tatum and Brown play as usual, this match won't be difficult for them.

I didn't see that. Where is Pep talking like Mou? Honestly I prefer Arsenal to win the championship but if Manchester City play better then they should be the champion again. We can't tell them not to do it anymore just because they always become champions. If they can play better, of course it should be them. I don't expect Pep to be like Mou. He is humble, unlike Mou.
Arteta still has a lot to fix. One day, Arsenal is playing very well, the next thing you know, they are finishing the match after taking 30 shots and not even scoring a goal.

Halka arz sonrası zirvesini yaptıktan sonra soluksuz düşen IZENR toparlanma sinyalleri veriyor. Dibi gördüğüne dair ibareler var ancak yine de biraz daha bekleyip teyit etmekte fayda var. Neredeyse halka arz fiyatına kadar indi ve küçük yatırımcının çoğunu silkeledi. Teknik indikatörler Al'a dönmüş durumda. Ancak ülke geneli ekonomik durum ve BİST'teki gidişat henüz olumluya dönmediği için kesin yargılara varamayız. Şu an için temkinli alım yapmak en mantıklısı olur.

Legendary olan RaltcoinsB'yi tebrik ederim. Gerçekten isteyen ve bunun için çaba harcayan herkesin Legendary olabildiğini gösterdi. Asıl sınavın şimdi, malum yerel bölümde Legendary olanlara fazla merit gönderilmiyor.
Sıradaki üyelerin de istedikleri rütbeye ulaşacağına inancım tam. Sistemi düzgün kullanarak içerik üreten ve kazandıklarını harcayan herkes çarkın dönmesini sağlıyor. Global bölümdeki bolluk burada olmasa da zamanla herkes rütbe atlıyor.

Lakers will host Hornets. That should be an easy game for Lakers. Anthony Davis is having a good season, the last time he dropped 40 but they lost to Celtics. Now they should play easier game and won't have too much trouble. LeBron is making near triple-double stats as well.
Nuggets will host Grizzlies. They are tired, coming from Pelicans away game which finished in overtime. I believe Nuggets will win this one if they can lock Morant.

That would be a pretty good addition IMHO. I don't care how much they have to spend for De Ligt. Arsenal need big players to get the title. For 2 seasons they are pretty close to the championship but still it's not enough. Why don't they spend more and secure the championship. Team chemistry is already good but they need 2 or 3 big additions to the squad. Other title contenders have big rosters and have plenty of options for rotation. Arsenal have smaller rotation. They need to sign more quality players.

Spurs lost but I'm not surprised, they weren't the favorite side of that game anyway. Arsenal is losing at home, this is surprising. West Ham is defending well so far.
Mavropanos scored for the first time under West Ham jersey. Ironically he came from Arsenal U21 team and after his successful Bundesliga career he signed for West Ham and scored his first goal against Arsenal.
Where is Jesus, Saka? Nketiah came in but still there's no goal. Hopes are fading for Arsenal.

En önemli üç oyuncusu yokken Cleveland'ın kazanması gerçekten ilginç oldu. Mavericks'in kaybetmesi ilginç desek daha doğru olur. Irving yine yoktu ama Dončić oynadı ve çok iyi bir ilk yarı geçirdi. Mavericks devre arasına 15 sayı farkla girmişti ama ikinci yarıda felaket bir performans gösterdiler. Cleveland'da lider oyuncu olmadığı için top dağılımı daha eşit oldu. Okoro, Allen ve LeVert takıma galibiyeti getirdi. Kısıtlı rotasyonla büyük iş başardılar.
Mavericks'te Seth Curry dışında üçlükler felaketti. 10/37 üç sayılık atıp, ribaundlarda da ezilince bu sonuç kaçınılmaz oldu. Mavericks sezona iyi başlamıştı ama böyle maçlarda aslında ne kadar kırılgan olduklarını görüyoruz.

I hope it's a temporary situation and things will go back to normal. Mempool shows at least $10 fees for low priority transactions. This may be OK for high amount of transactions but it's really a big money for a lot of people. Using the network with this fee is not sustainable. No one pays $10-20 in fees to make a $10 payment.
Is this just because of Ordinals? Or are there other issues affecting the network? I don't really know because I don't follow the Ordinals thing.

Premier Lig'de ilginç bir hafta oldu. Boxing day maçları ve öncesinde sıralamaları etkileyen birçok sonuç alındı. Bu bölümden kârlı çıkan takımlar için Liverpool, Arsenal ve Manchester City'yi sayabiliriz. Aston Villa'nın önce Sheffield United gibi ligin dibindeki takıma karşı iki puan bırakması, ardından Manchester United'a 2-0 öne geçtiği maçta yenilmesi onları ağır yaraladı. Yılı lider kapatma şansları varken dördüncü bitirme tehlikesiyle karşı karşıya kaldılar.
Arsenal Liverpool ile berabere kalmasına rağmen bunu kayıp olarak saymamak lazım. Bugün West Ham United'ı yenerlerse zirvede kalıyorlar. Liverpool ise zorlu fikstürü en az hasarla atlattığı için şanslı.
Manchester City bugünkü geri dönüşüyle yara sarmaya çalışıyor. Sheffield'ı yenip yılı 40 puanla tamamlayacaklardır. Chelsea ve Manchester United da zorla galip gelerek ipten döndüler ama zirveden o kadar uzak ve hedefsizler ki hocaları kovmalarına gerek bile yok. Bu sezonu kayıp olarak sayıyorlardır şimdiden.

Alperen Şengün made a career night but Rockets still lost. Alperen Şengün is the third youngest player to make 30 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals stats. Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson were the first and second youngest players in this statline. Haliburton and Pacers were better, especially Myles Turner in last seconds. I like how Pacers play generally but they were in bad form since in-season tournament was over. Now they got back on track with this win. Their aim should be 6th place so they don't have to worry about play-in games.
