You said Chelsea has good strikers to score goals. I was wondering where the strikers are. Last season the only striker Chelsea had was Lukaku but they decided to kill him for whatever reason they have. I don't see Herverts, Wener and Ziyich as strikers to rely on for a season. If I were to be a coach, I would not be charged or let a striker like Lukaku to go. Currently, the best thing that has happened to Chelsea attack is Sterling, Chelsea should enjoy him and thank their God that they didn't go for Neymar or Ronaldo.

Before I could notice this more 60 merits have added to it. Congratulations fillippone. All I can say is that it is not easy, from any angle you look at it from, it is not easy. Ranking up is possible, but having stacks of thousands of merits is something that is near impossible for some people. When we come to this understanding, we have peace of mind. My merit is about 50 above my activity, which isn't bad. I am trying my best, but assuming I would turn out to be someone like fillippone in the future, I should  have 500+ merits by now. I am happy with my progress, but in order to be kind and honest to myself, I do not possess the super power of the kinds of fillippone, LoyceV, o_e_l_e_o, Ratimov etc.

This means that there is a factor that theymos uses to measure the amount of smerits allocatable to a merit source. It could be how effective one is in spreading merits among wider range of members. If that be the case it means the likes of DdmrDdmr and yourself should have the maximum. Though 1000 is a way high to distribute monthly, unless the smerits roll over to the next month.

Everything is about programming and algorithm, if there is a clear prediction of the algorithm a site is using, it is possible to have bots place bets and win bets. Then it is not a guarantee for profits because anything could happen and your portfolio would vanish. My experience with bots is that even if you are using bots, there is still need for human intervention to maneuver or correctly manipulate the process. Everything is possible and knowing to do things without putting 100% is a cool feeling.

Gambling is more for entertainment than money making. I remember when. I was actively betting on soccer. Most weekends I wouldn't feel like betting, but to get motivated to watch the match and to remain excited during the match. I will purposely sacrifice some money to bet on the football match. After the match I will be happier if the bet goes in my favour, otherwise I won't be sad. But assuming I didn't bet, I might end up not watching the football match because of lack of interest.

I was involved in one argument about Manchester United players form and the contribution of Erik Ten Hag to the club. I had to remind my arguers that there was when Manchester United was winning Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool with Martial, Rashford and Lingard combination. It's not that the boys played better football them. It was because the boys were willing and determined to play. The spirit of social media and laziness was not in them as of that time. The coaches Manchester United had were all lazy and could not correct the big boys. Those guys play opposite of what coach instructed. They wanted to try it with Erik but Erik was calling their names during training as they make mistakes and told them that he is the boss.

Based on common sense, there are some transfers I consider that will not happen. It could happen with an ordinary player but not with a player like Ronaldo. Just like when the rumour came that Ronaldo was going to Chelsea, I said it will not happen, he cannot go to Manchester United closest rival.
Today I am.hearing that Ronaldo will go to ATM, I am also considering it not workable, though Barcelona is the closest rival to Real Madrid, not ATM. Let us watch how it will be.

Inviting portable over his statement that he is the founder of 1 million boys cult group is a wise movement by the government. I don't see the reason anyone should kick against it. Portable is not a mad man, portable is a millionaire, portable is not a mad man, portable is a celebrity, portable is not a mad man, portable is a brand ambassador, portable is not a mad man, portable is one of the most popular musicians in Africa.
There are millions of people whose role model is portable. He shouldn't be ignored for making such an unguided statements.

About what happened on 15th, I  needed explanation till I remember I saw this thread once and skipped it, now I came back to read it.
I logged in my account on 15th and noticed some merit spray in it, as usual I had to check the profile and see why I earned the merit. I was surprised when I was scrolling down, down a down, merits sent on 15th couldn't end. I said "shebi na my eyes dey pain me?"
I wasn't bothered much about how fast and accurate he sent the merits, because all the merits landed on quality posts. I was curious to know how many smerits can a merit source have per month?

I propose a title for DdmrDdmr. I'll call him "The merit sprayer or the joy giver of the forum"

Getting loan from loan apps or loan customers comes when two things happen.
1. When the need to get the money is absolutely necessary.
2. When you cannot get from trusted friends and relatives.

Some of these loan apps are not regulated and they do not have regards to privacy. They can assassinate character. Even when the borrower have settle the depth they will still go ahead to call or message anyone close to the victim, advertising him as a debtor.
If you want a loan, go to the bank and with collateral and get a loan.

Ronaldo is mute and even his next move is not clear to himself. I believe he is watching the ability of Manchester United to change and bring in new players that would make a good team, then he could remain in the club. But some people are saying that Ronaldo cannot play in the europa league, I don't know if it's a mere thinking or what Ronaldo has said himself. Personally, if o were Ronaldo, I would stand by the club at this time and play the role of the legend. Another factor is since Erik has said that Maguire will continue to be captain, it is not a good sign or respect to Ronaldo. If Ronaldo will play for Manchester United this season, he should have the captain badge.

I read where the president of Benfica was mocking or making jess of Liverpool for over spending in Darwins. In his word he said when he heard that Liverpool was interested in the player, he was expecting a 40 to 45 because the guy did well but was surprised when 80 offer came. They were shocked and laughed, they then pushed for 100 and it happened.
He said football has gone crazy and they popped champaign. He also said he has no worries because he has a better striker in the feeder team.

Do you actually think that Darwins was over bought?

I have read in the forum that during the early days of the forum, people were actually using their pictures because yhe avatar space was actually for profile picture. The day I was researching the forum, I discovered that those old accounts had pictures on them, maybe their owners have left the forum or are dead.
Privacy was not a big issue for the early people of this forum. Even the famous bitcoin for pizza man had his picture displayed and his address he made public for delivery of the pizza.
This Privacy of a thing I think became more effective in the forum when Satoshi mysterious disappeared, then people began to understand the benefits of being anonymous

It seems that the forum members have lived with this notification style for so long to the extent that everyone has been adapted to it. This is because no one is winning to recommend or push for a change, rather everyone is suggesting a third party bot to do the notifications.
What are the possible reasons of not having the kind of notification recommended by OP. Will it lag the software or the software will not be compatible or is theymos avoid anything that will lead to hack of the forum?

Personally, I do have much problems with the notification since I always use the last replied option and click on "new", it will take me to my own last reply and from there I trace down.

Election for Nigeria don dey monetized, na who him money long pass dey win election now. This na the serious mata wey wey need to understand and have peace. Starting from primaries of delegates to main election na money mata e be.

So the people collected money from both and then they were tired of Jagaban dominance. Na em make the election dey tough

Manchester City actually needs a center back. Manchester City is not an average club that want to get just one trophy for a season and will be OK with it. Manchester City is a club that will contend seriously in all the competition and would want to win all the competitions. So all the positions needs two players one active and the other outstanding in order to avoid fatigue and stress when. The season becomes too tough.

Manchester City is a clubd that has a very good team depth and they actually want to maintain that for the next season which I percieve would be as tough as the one that ended.

Ronaldo is a very great player no doubt and he has the ability to play well in any team he finds himself and moreover he is very hardworking. It many coaches are afraid to get him for technical reasons. But for business wise it will be a good business. This maybe because for a start, money from sales of Jersey and increased match viewing time would be able to maintain Ronaldo, but if these money sources reduce, maintaining Ronaldo would be expensive.

Again, Ronaldo is a big fish and his presence could spoil or alter the ecosystem of any club. If I were coach, I wouldn't be so fast to go for Ronaldo at his age.

Mate, na question be this abi na statement? What if we say we no welcome you, you go run commot?

Mate, check well, no be May you enter this forum o, na April wey you enter.

Mate, na you dey welcome us here abi na we dey welcome you

No mind me, I just wan catch cruise...you are highly welcome, stay cool and enjoy the forum.

Ozil problems are majorly out of football playing. He is too blunt, bold and truthful. For goodness sake, Ozil isn't as slow as a snail and he wasn't that slow as you described him.when he played alongside Ronaldo.
Any team that loses ball much doesn't need ozil because they will need a more physique and fast guy to do the marking. But on a very balanced team that is possessing football, Ozil is the perfect man to complete the passes.

I still respect him till date, though he might not be the legend we want but he has made significant impacts in football

That big win for Manchester United against Liverpool has a very great meaning to the fans, to the players morale, to the coach confidence and to Manchester United as a whole. Assuming there was no win, or there was loose many hopes would have been down by now.

The team was able to play ball and make passes from defence to opposition eighteen box. What the club needs is to reinforce the defence by signing one more, get a defensive midfielder and then a striker to follow up Martail incase Ronaldo will leave.
