Very funny, as long as you read just know that you have to post as well and by the time you know it, you're owing Theymos and the Forum lots of merit because as it is you're having -159 merit and you're officially a debtor in the making.😅

That's where Arsenal need a complete striker to finish the job, the Gunners played very well and is not easy to play out a draw at the Etihad Stadium, for the first time in the second part of every season Man City have been dominating I saw Arsenal played with so much confidence but the problem they had in that encounter is they didn't convert those chances (all thanks to Gabriel Jesus).
A City fan came out to say that the Gunners was defending and they never came out to play, City on their bad day would have won that game but the Gunners was up to their standard that's why City couldn't get a goal. The game is over but the title race is still on.
Liverpool on the other hand still have something shocking (in a negative way) to give to the fans, things went well for them yesterday with a win against Brighton and the draw at the Etihad Stadium but it doesn't mean they're going to win the league, I still see the Gunners topping and winning the league.

That's how I felt when the price of Bitcoin was running very fast  and it was as if the next day we're going to see a very different amount that's even more than $80k. I think the over excitement happened because of the joy of seeing it hit a new ATH and we were expecting more, everybody likes to be on the profit side of business.
We knew there would be corrections but the market flow was on the positive side and it made many to forget it won't last for long. This time around the price has gotten to the stage where some of those holders would feel they had lost but I believe another movement is getting ready to hit $80k or even more.

I never thought of this whole April fools day would come to this merit deduction. I still can't get it how Theymos finds a way to get everyone in the panic box, is just outstanding and amazing. I almost restarted my phone, off and on back my network connection 🥵 (which I did) but the merit was still the same. Can we call the cops on Theymos for being such a good prankster 😅? You're the best Mr Theymos.

HAPPY NEW MONTH

HAPPY FOOLS DAY

We haven't seen $73k since Bitcoin price broke the ATH, I can't say it will get to $75k this very moment because when it was suppose to get to that amount ($75k) the market price fell very fast to $59k, but as we're in a new week and also a new month I believe things might change for good base in how positive the market price is and this might trigger some holders to start panicking even though we're very close to that awaiting moment, The HALVING.

I never knew City can be this pressured with how the Gunners forced them to make silly mistakes, only if Arsenal had gotten a goal I believe City would have been out of the race by now. To me I'm not impressed with how Arsenal lost those opportunities of scoring at least a goal.
I don't see much work on the defense line of Arsenal in this game because the "best worst flop" (Haaland) didn't do anything to stress the defenders, this guy Haaland isn't sharp this season and I wasn't surprised by how Gabriel and Saliba locked him in this encounter.
Talking about Liverpool, they only have few days to be at the top of the table and I won't be surprised if something dramatic happen in their next game to drop from the top of the table, Sheffield UTD can do something in that encounter against Liverpool but let's wait till then.

To be frank with you I'm very disappointed at the Hammers on that encounter, leading by 1-3 and at fulltime they lost the game, that's not what I expected of them honestly.
No matter the equalizer and winning of that encounter by Newcastle, it still doesn't make them better, to me I don't believe they're back to winning ways, Newcastle have lost that strong form we saw last season and as for the Hammers, I don't think they're going to get past their opponent in the Europa league next week. This isn't the kind of play they're suppose to use against the Xabi Alonso's boys, Bayer Leverkusen. West Ham are losing that game.




That's to say the Newcastle project this season is a failed one no matter the winning today and with the coach trying to put things together at this stage of the campaign I feel is not going to work smoothly, they can't be consistent.
I just have to say this, is best to accept that they have failed the fans the board of directors and themselves (the players) e.t.c, they should start all over next season since this campaign is coming to an end.

Early kick off has always end up in a draw but this on going game, talking about Newcastle vs West Ham is some how crazy. Not matter the odds being for Newcastle I still believe the away team has a better chances of winning, seeing the home side who was strong as of last season has become very careless ever since they was kicked out of the champions league and conceding 2 goals in the first half. I believe they're not in any way coming back in this game.
In as much as the home side have a goal I blame it on the visitors West Ham, as the second half is on going I believe the visitors have learnt from their mistakes, I also think David Moyes is not losing this game or having a draw, if this game ends like this I feel is going to be a motivation for West Ham in the Europa league.

What are you even saying on this? You're really funny, well that's why when judging a team's performance you should say it as it is, not because you love a particular club you judge wrongly.
VAR or no VAR just know that the Gunners messed up and without injuries they gave Manchester City the title because they weren't competent.



When it matters Arteta lost focus and control, my reason for saying this is that I hate to see Arsenal doing well against other teams but when it's time to face their fears which is Manchester City, they start playing trash.
Over excitement, over confidence got the better part of Arsenal at that last minute of the season that's why they lost it, at some point they don't even know what they were doing. I was expecting they should be taking every game like is the finals with much seriousness but they felt too relaxed, that hunger of being consistent, winning every game left them that's why they lost it all to City.
Be you a fan of the Gunners or not it doesn't matter but always see it that the Gunners can't do better unless they start the game as sharp as they can and end it well with City feeling frustrated on Sunday.

I like how you made it look easy but indeed it's easy to comprehend. Some members don't see it that way, they only think that is theirs which is true but what's the point in keeping it for over a year? Are they keeping it to buy a bucket load of Bitcoin? No, and if you ask me I think some don't know how to distribute the sMerit to deserving post on the Forum.

What are you saying senior? Let me shock you, I watched every game Arsenal played against Manchester City and I was disappointed more than I praised the Gunners last season.
Arsenal played everything called football and after that how did the game end, Arsenal lost to City. Now you don't have to say Manchester City won Arsenal when the Gunners played good football because City had experience, my dear if you're good you're good and Arsenal was too afraid to get things right. Imagine a teams playing everything they know but at the end they lost and you expect the loser to go home with 3pts or the trophy? Hell no.
Understand something, Pep Guardiola is a very wise coach, if he knows he can't get anything done with his style(s) he'll wait for you or the opponent to make one silly error and that's the end of the game, he'll move out of the pitch with all 3pts. Before you play City be ready for any form of surprises, that's what is happening this season, mind you Manchester City are not that strong this season but they get the job done, against Bournemouth I think, it was too hard for City but they allowed the opponent to feel relaxed and when they felt at home City gave them that surprise and won rhe game.
City are ready to hand the ball to you for 30mins but when the time is right they'll strike and you'd be there crying because you lost after dominating the game, look possession is nothing in football but you see that victory and 3pt, give it to the coach that's why I love Mourinho (he said Barcelona can keep the ball while he walks away with the 3pts), that's Arsenal for you last season, play well and lose. So understand what I'm saying about the Gunners don't use because you're a fan to judge wrongly.

I believe if Arsenal get past Manchester City they're not seeing the other games as something difficult to get through and I feel they can defeat the likes of Aston Villa, Chelsea even Tottenham, not talking about UTD but it all depends on if they stay on top because if they continue to be league leaders their fighting spirit will be high to take on the next opponent, it all lies on if they could get a win at the Etihad Stadium.

Hold on brother, I spit out what I see and the truth. Ok since you say or "think" I'm among those who are bias I'd like to remind you that Arsenal have never beaten City home and away since they became ruthless and aggressive in the EPL. I always want any team that's going head to head with the Citizens to always give them a better fight and even win. I get pissed whenever I see Arsenal playing a very confusing football like they don't know how to make an opponent fight  (when it comes to Manchester City) to get the ball, losing possession all the time against City, is time to face the truth and I believe you're a fan of the Gunners but never to forget that these guys need to man up and if they beat Man City home and away in a season then I can say they're good to go.
For the past 3 seasons or even more I'd say the Gunners are afraid to play the Citizens man to man, I don't need to watch a game of luck to win, I need to see something different and deserving from the Gunners.
With how you think or see it City can still win the game even if they have lots of injured players or not performing as they used to, remember that in as much as the support are on Arsenal they like making mistakes after playing a good football, the mistake they make can cause them the game.

Facing Man City will definitely improve their confidence and it will look like Arsenal are the ones that other teams are scared of playing against. To me the Gunners have reached that stage where teams would be having a double plans to play the Gunners, just like Manchester City, if you're going against the Citizens it is either you defend till the end of the game or you do both, defending and attacking. The Gunners have a strong thinking in front of goal but the only problem is selfishness like Gabriel martinelli , if they avoid being selfish (especially the attackers) they can beat any team.
We talk about Arsenal and Manchester City like they're the only teams competing for the title or like they're the favorite for the title.
Liverpool are also waiting for either of the two teams to slip off the title challenge especially Arsenal, if the Gunners draw the game against Man City and Liverpool win is going to be a bigger opportunity for them as they go back to the top talking about Liverpool. This whole things is just on Arsenal like you said for them to be consistent, they really need to win Manchester City to keep the winning streak alive and I don't think Liverpool can win their game against Brighton.

Last season madness is going to be a lesson for the Gunners to learn from and this is their opportunity to correct last season's mistake. Man City are very good at waiting for the right moment to strike to eventually top the table and you won't expect them to lose when they know how close they are to be crowned champions, so I expect Arteta to get something in that game.
As it is the ball is in their (Arsenal) court with so many key players who are injured (like you listed) that might not start for the Citizens, I think this is the chance for Arsenal but we shouldn't be surprised if these injured players are listed for the game on Sunday.
The international break always play a negative part on bigger clubs that have a crucial game to play, it gets players injured and I some how understand why some coaches hardly release their best players to go for international duties, to be honest it is unfair to deprive players from playing for their countries.
In this encounter Arsenal have the upper hands than City that's to say if the Gunners don't get all 3 point in that encounter I think it would be shame to Arteta and his boys because if this chance (Pep's opponent having more injured players) was given to Pep I know he would utilize it, so it is either a win or a draw for Arsenal.

The way the Gunners are so eager to get their hands on City is like Man City are the only team they have to beat to win the league title. We know how important this game is for both clubs and I don't think Manchester City have topped the league and stay at the top for more than a day since the beginning of this campaign.
Liverpool have been at the top and now we have the Gunners sitting at the top but City are waiting for the right moment (it could be on Sunday) to be at the top and we know how they did it last season but this time around I feel Arsenal are not going to let it happen again.
Another thing that got me thinking, since the race for the title is a three man horse race, if Arsenal lose or draw to City is it the end for Arsenal to struggle to get to the top and winning the league?🤔

Something I don't understand in the world of football especially in the EPL or maybe in other leagues too but let me use the EPL. I can't understand why some managers choose to give we the fans false news about their key players especially when they want to go for the international break, you'd start hearing that a certain player is injured for no reason, sometimes no on the field or while training, it just happen.
Let's take KDB for example, in their (City) last game against Newcastle(I think), KDB was subed and while leaving the field he was perfectly fine nobody assist him off the field but immediately after that game which they won 2-0, the next we heard was the player is injured and he wasn't called up for the international break by his national team.
I continue to wonder how is that happening or is it that these coaches just seize the players for important games the club have, like if that's true isn't that a selfish act? This is their national team for crying out loud and another player like Saka is injured and wasn't with the 3 Lions, who are we going to blame the coach or the payers or the medical doctors?
These things continue to happen and is becoming a norm, players do get injured on the pitch and on the training ground even on international duties but still they should let the players do their thing.

I don't think holding the sMerit is a crime on the Forum and everyone has the right to do whatever they feel like to their sMerit just like everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
To some they feel if they hold their sMerit for long that it will multiple to their main merit, this is something I expect from newbies but it seems even a high ranked member is guilty of this act and is not really a big deal. I also don't think the sMerit will decay if kept for long.

Bitcoin has and can always be a scam to those who don't know much about it especially those who they have brain washed with so many lie, just like how bad the government have painted Bitcoin as fraud and so many things that's why they find it very difficult to make it legal.
And with the help of some of these corrupted individuals who uses the name Bitcoin to steal from those who can't detect scammers, it won't have a good name because of these guys, it will continue with the name "Bitcoin is a scam".

That's true, the fall of Bitcoin price can turn out to be a higher race to something higher than $73k but what I'm saying is that the current state of the market price can be very discouraging but it only takes those who have witness such fall of the price to stay calm and let things to come back to how it was. At this point many are waiting for the market price to switch up back to that positive movement, who knows we might see another shocking price, something like $95k.
