I think Anthony was a bad deal and a huge flop for Manchester United, the club already regrets the huge fee spent on acquiring Anthony. Erik Ten Hag will be kicking himself in the foot for his decision to spend big on Anthony’s acquisition, he should have invested that amount on two better players who are eager for recognition and winning games.

Dortmund certainly delivered a shocker last night as they defeated Newcastle United by two goals to nil. Many would have staked their bets on Newcastle United after they defeated Arsenal in the weekend but the opposite was the case. Milan also surprisingly defeated PSG I must confess I didn’t see that one coming, I really don’t know what to say about PSG right now.

After the victory against PSG in the UCL yesterday, of course Milan must increase their confidence in facing Lecce this week because Milan did not get good results from their last three matches, which is why of course their position could be threatened if Milan continues to get bad results in the Italian league this season. , even though there is still a lot of time to catch up, I think it will require extra hard work later, Milan should be able to get full points this week.

You are right that Lecce also didn't really perform well in their last five matches so that's why Milan has the opportunity to take advantage of Lecce's current slump, even though playing as a guest doesn't mean Milan will have difficulty facing Lecce who play as hosts, I'm sure Milan can win the match later because otherwise it will be difficult to chase the title this season.

I know that Girona cannot remain in that position long before Real Madrid will take it from them because they don't have the squads that will help them to maintain that position in their next 3 games. I still have confidence on Real Madrid that they will win their next game to secure 3 points that will lift their points more higher than Girona and remain in first position in la Liga league till they win the trophy .

If Girona coach can prepare their defenders very well against their remaining games, I think they can secure second position in this tournament because, Barcelona still lose their game in champions league with their opponent yesterday despite many opportunity was there for them to equalize the goal but they failed at the end.

The latest rumors regarding Thiago Alcantara's future have not met since the transfer market several seasons ago and now it is reported that Thiago Alcantara is a target for Juventus and Inter after his contract with Liverpool ends next season. Thiago Alcantarra will be a free agent next season and that is why Juventus and Inter are starting to move to compete for this player. In fact, Thiago Alcantara is still quite good, but considering the injury he suffered and finally experiencing a significant decline in performance, he could only serve as a bench warmer at Liverpool.

It seems that Jurgen Kloop can no longer trust Thiago Alcantara's performance and therefore last season they recruited Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and even Ryan Gravenberch. It looks like it's time for Thiago Alcantara to leave Anfield and at least his services are still needed at other clubs rather than just sitting on the bench for the season.

I will watch the match between Man United and Copenhagen, both teams really need full points because they are currently at the bottom of group A. Man United must beat Copenhagen if they want to qualify for the next round because Galatasaray will face Bayern Munich so their position will be much more difficult to get full points. If Man United beats Copenhagen and Galatasaray loses at home to Bayern Munich, Man United's points will increase to six while Galatasaray still has four points.

If this scenario goes as I expect, the competition in Group A will become more competitive again because Man United is back in the race for runners-up and Galatasaray can beat Man United the following week when they visit Galatasaray's headquarters as the decider. The final match in the group phase will be much tougher where Man United will face Bayern Munich at Old Trafford.

There have been no reports or investigations that connected Roman Abramovich to the war in Russia. His only offence was that he communicated or had a close relationship with Vladimir Putin. And I don't see that as a genuine reason for England and her allies to seize his assets. After all every businessman will have political connections. Almost all global business owners have close relationships with many world leaders. They do this to expand their businesses and protect their investments. Almost all Fortune 500 company owners have political connections even in the UK. I am not among the people who disliked the young Russian billionaire who transformed Chelsea from a relatively unknown club and made it one of the best in the world. Roman had a vision and passion for Chelsea and he will ever be remembered.

Chelsea and its fans are still celebrating the convincing win on Monday against one of the best sides in the EPL. But the main test will be on Sunday in their home ground when they will meet the best team in Europe and face some of the most feared strikers in the world. If the Blues win the game against the Cityzens, it will become clearer that they are on the path of recovery.             

It was a dramatic win for AS Roma this week against Lecce. They came back in extra time in the second half after being a goal down. I thought it was going to be AS Roma's second consecutive defeat when I saw the time remaining in the 90th minute. But Sardar Azmoun scored to equalize and 3 minutes later Romelu Lukaku scored to turn the game around.

In another match, Juventus managed to steal 3 points from Fiorentina headquarters with a thin score of 0-1. They must be grateful for this result, because if you look at the match, Fiorentina actually played better.

Heidenheim got back their form by defeating Stuggart who has been on a very fine run of form over the past 10-11 games of the Bundesliga. Stuggart yes aren’t a team who would be able to retain the top 4 spot in the league over a long period of time owing to both financial power and squad depth.

 Heidenheim team has shown aggressiveness over the past 2 matches owing to losing out in 2 consecutive league matches meanwhile Stuggart came into the match comfortably and the aggressiveness of Heidenheim paid off for the team, Stuggart who has a player who is a good goal Poacher but weren’t able to convert their chances today due to the fact that the figh and aggressive spirit wasn’t alive in the game.

 Heidenheim were able to absorb the pressure knowing they needed to salvage a point in the game and were able to harness all 3 points, the coming game week will look so good and a must win for Stuggart if they’ll want to retain the top 4 spot.

Manchester United's Harry Maguire quickly transformed from "scapegoat" to hero at the club in just a few weeks thanks to his convincing performance. Without Maguire, I don't think Manchester United can win the match against FC Copenhagen 1-0 in the Champions League. He has become an example for all players, rising from difficulties. Despite the criticism surrounding him for a long time, Maguire has proven that he cannot be eliminated by the coach at this time.

Casemiro was injured in the 3-0 loss to Newcastle midweek and will have to miss at least a month. With the loss of a pillar in midfield, Ten Hag's difficulties become even more difficult. He was forced to put his trust in rookie Sofyan Amrabat, even though the Moroccan midfielder has not yet fully adapted to the environment.

I don't understand why bookmakers give such high odds for Spurs to win - 2.3... Maybe I don't know something, but I bet that Spurs will win... Chelsea have a lot of problems and this is not the team that can win the leader of the standings in an away game...

Real Madrid was unable to win their game against Rayo Vallecano last weekend while league leaders defeated Osasuna by 4 goals to two on Saturday which now gives Girona a two point gap ahead of Real Madrid in the Spanish La Liga standings.
Like you rightly pointed out, I think Real Madrid's failure to sign a replacement for Karim Benzema last summer is somehow affecting the squad and that's in a day Jude Bellingham who's been the club's top scorer this season couldn't score, there was no one else to score for Los Blancos. Real Madrid though did not win their game last weekend, but I think they're still my favorites to win the Spanish La Liga title this season

Manchester united has Managed to win Copenhagen at Old Trafford and it was a narrow escape  cause they almost drew the game if not for a brilliant save by their goalie Onana who became the hero of the day in that match, however it's not going to be easy at Copenhagen's ground Erik Ten Hag and his boys needs to work harder on the training ground and come up with a better strategy to defeat Copenhagen away from home.

 Well football is full of suprises and sometimes most teams get lucky however United should be depending on luck, they should try to improve their performance and quit playing boring football that could make one sleep off while viewing their match, because after Copenhagen they'll still have to face Galatasaray at their home ground which is going to be very "fierce" like you stated, well I doubt if they'll win both Copenhagen and Galatasaray at their various homes.

During his years as an European based player, Cristiano Ronaldo is believed to be a player who's not always good in linking up with his teammates during during games but  that has really changed since he joined Saudi League club Al Nassr. The Portuguese superstar since his arrival at his new club has built a very good relationship with his teammates and that's why he's either scoring or providing the assists for others to score.
If Cristiano Ronaldo continues like this, I think he'll definitely gonna win many silverwares with Al Nassr in the future.

I haven’t seen how Nice plays, but from the outside, their results look like prolonged luck that could be interrupted at any moment. In 11 games, they scored 13 goals and missed 4. Such efficiency in defense is impressive, but the attack is very weak if we are talking about a team that aspires to something. But they have three games ahead of them against teams from the middle/bottom of the standings, so they will be able to maintain their minimal advantage over PSG for some time.

I was in the garden this evening and I was think on my bet that I placed on this evening game, then something came into my head like...are you going to gamble even when you are old, or you will quit gambling at a certain age.

There are so many of us that are responsible gamblers and we only gamble to entertain ourselves not for making profit. Since gambling is done for fun, it becomes part of us, this is because we enjoy the fun, and some persons uses it to relieve them after a long day stress at work. We always assign some portion of our income for our gambling activities because it has become a habit in us. I know that some of us hasn't thought of quitting gambling because we are responsible gamblers.

My question is this, will you continue to gamble till old age, or you have planned to stop gambling at a certain age?
I am not referring to addicted gamblers that will learn a hard lesson before the quit, but only responsible gamblers that are taking all prevention measures to addiction.

I will answer first.
I will love to quit gambling when I am 42yrs because I don't want to give gambling much time and I will prefer to look for an alternative means to have fun.

of course, predicting the result of Napoli was quite easy, just as it should have been easy to predict the result of Milan-Udinese, but unfortunately it didn't go as I hoped! and although Udinese had never won in 11 games, they did so in Milan at the San Siro against Milan! this is unfortunate but it highlights how Milan has big gaps this year

Two points adrift of Madrid should be an advantage for Girona to maintain their position at the top of the standings, they must be able to be consistent until the end of the season if they really aim to chase the title this season, I am very surprised by Girona's development this season where we look at last season Girona looked bad at the end of last season without a win from their last five matches and were in 10th place in the standings.

Girona always performed well at the start of this season considering that other top clubs also have to divide their focus on playing in other European leagues so that Girona has the opportunity to take advantage of that because they don't have a busy schedule to play in other leagues, Girona must be able to maintain a further distance from Madrid if want to win Laliga this season, even though it is difficult they have to stay on the winning path, at least a narrow win against Rayo is more than enough.

After this round, bookmakers completely wrote off Dortmund:

Fc Bayern Munich 1.25

Bayer 04 Leverkusen 4.33

Borussia Dortmund 29.00

This seems fair since Kane has finally adapted and apparently Bayern has completely assembled the puzzle and is now a complete team. It is unlikely that Bayer will be able to keep up with Bayern's pace for long. Kane has every chance of breaking Lewandowski's record for goals in a season and against the backdrop of the fact that things are going badly for Lewandowski in Barcelona to prove Bayern right, which got rid of him.

Firing now still cannot be used as an option because by firing Ten Hag indirectly this will make the club's condition even more unstable especially if their interim coach does not carry out the task properly, this will backfire but that does not mean Ten Hag's position is safe because in the end if Manchester United still cannot get out of its current zone and cannot give a good performance then it is not impossible for them to make a big choice by firing Ten Hag rather than a situation that continues to worsen because in the end the best decision must be chosen in order to save the team from destruction.
