1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: Today at 09:39:25 AM
Courtois is back after a very long injury time period. When I saw him on the bench of the first leg game against Bayern Munich I got really surprised. Because they said that he returned but got injured once again. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to play in the remaining games. But here we are. He played for 90 minutes against Cadiz recently. I wonder whether Ancelotti will put him in the starting eleven in the rematch here as well.  Huh

It looks like there is only Alaba left who is injured at Real Madrid side. This is very positive news for them. Now I expect them to be stronger at defending as Militao is also back in business.  Smiley  I don't think Bayern Munich will manage to eliminate them at Santiago Bernabeu. I still expect this thing to end in regular time.
There is no point for courtois to come back now, he should just get prepared for the next season, the current Madrid goal keeper has been very incredible with his performance, his brilliance was put to test against Manchester city, when he was able to save two penalties out of the five kicks. It will be a tough choice for Madrid next season, if they will bench these current goal keeper for the return of courtois, because keeping a goal keeper of that kind of quality on the bench, will certainly make room for other clubs to come for him.

When it comes to Bernabeu, Madrid always force the attack on the opponent, they play as people that understand the four cardinal points of the field, the first leg against Bayern Munich has already thought them a Lesson that Bayern shouldn't be treated with kid gloves as they can actually take you on surprisingly. One major thing Madrid have at this stage that is helping them stand solid are the experience players on their side, because experience helps you to approach a game differently.

I wouldn't buy that sign even if I was a billionaire, because I don't see any significance in it. Yeah a dude held it and it generated some hype in Bitcoin community for a week - so what? In my book that wasn't a significant moment in Bitcoin's history. The fact that it was sold for $1M is just another example that there are Bitcoin whales who sit on large amounts of coins and can easily spend $$ millions on some overpriced stuff.
This is you sharing your own opinion on how you feel about it. On the other side, a lot of us wouldn't try to acquire any piece of paper or art that has no use to us, but these collectors, who like collectibles a lot, think differently, especially those rich Wahala's who are looking for means to spend and make some BTC and make things popular.
 
What I see here is that some people use money to get more money or fame. That paper is hyped and is the perfect piece to get the kind of attention they need. It could easily be sold out again to another wahala with just a little hype on it.

That's just it, most of this wealthy people does all this things to just show off or just to be among that few individual who have the financial power do it, it might sound stupid to the common man, but to the rich, it means a lot to them, and of a fact, this is just one of the stupid things the rich people spend more on, something they mostly don't need, and just as orpichukwu has already said, if they no longer needs it, they might decide to sell it to another crazy rich fellow, so that's just the reality.

And lastly, you also need to understand that most of this wealthy people sees money as nothing, because they have actually not faced what an average person usually face, so they spend money on things an average person will call stupid, just as this, so the truth of the matter is that, the rich, average and poor people all think differently.
For me I don't think it's only about the show of, most persons just attach value to what they like. for what it's worth, people who don't have that much of wealth too would want to do same thing if the opportunity presents it's self, so at some point too the money to gives the wealthy people the leverage to make people's passion come into fruition.

Sometimes people buy a painting of different inscription with millions of dollars which most people will see the painting as worthless stuff, However it doesn't show that they are wasting their money, they are buying things that are of value to them, the world may see it differently, but it doesn't change anything for the person that has bought it, because at the end of the day people will still have something to say regardless of the situation.

Arsenal won their match 3-0 and in the meantime Manchester City is winning 2-nil against Wolves.

So for the moment if there are no shocking results during the second half nothing will change after this evening and therefore another small step forward for Guardiola and the victory of yet another Premier League.

Liverpool is out of the running, City is currently second but with a game to play and therefore potentially at +2 compared to Arsenal.

I was thinking in the game between Manchester city and Wolverhampton, That wolves would have been a tough opponent team for Manchester City in today's match, but that isn't what I'm seeing, Already 3-0 in this game,  I doubt if wolves would bounce back in this game as Manchester City's dream of lifting the Premier league title isn't something that they wanna risk with any team that they come across and misss this ample opportunity in their hands and has continuing taking all 3 points home in their recent games since after that they missed their very opportunity in the Champions League competition.
The game would have been a tough one if the Referee didn't award that early penalty to Manchester city, for me I think the decision the Referee took was erroneous, because the wolves players didn't see the Manchester city player coming and he wanted to clear the ball out from his left, unfortunately the city player was on the ball too from the right side, mistakenly both of them had a clash and it was pointed on the wolves player that he was the one on the wrong side which for me critically looking at it was a wrong decision from the Ref.

This will be an interesting match because Arsenal must win, otherwise they will be eliminated from the competition for the title.
Arsenal started this game as the stronger side, missed many chances to score more than one goal but could score just a goal from a penalty but it will not be enough because teams Like Bournemouth are difficult to win against by just a goal. The midfield of Arsenal with Odegarrd, Thomas Partey and Declan Rice is very strong, and has totally dominated the midfield, stopping most of the chances that Bournemouth may try to create. Arsenal needs to score another goal to make sure that this game is won, to maintain the pressure on Manchester City who will play later today too.
These set of arsenal players have made the defensive line of the team so sophisticated and solid for the ease of the attackers upfront, now it has gotten to a point where the arsenal team find it so easy to score goals no matter the opponent. for this Bournemouth game, i feel they where  doing more of the playing and  Arsenal where doing more of the scoring. I do enjoy arsenal consistency for these past few months as they've been on a winning spree week in week out. The Bournemouth game just ended 3-0 with Declan Rice scoring a beautiful one in the die minute of the game.

Let's watch out and see how the Manchester city game against wolves will pan out, I'm sincerely hoping it will either be a draw or a win for wolves which is unlikely but this is football anything can happen.
5  Economy / Economics / Re: Personal Financial Goals vs Government expectations! on: May 04, 2024, 01:22:23 PM
Have you ever thought about this, what we are trying to achieve in our personal financial life is completely diverge from what the government expects their citizens to do.

We as Individuals always thrive to achieve financial independence in our lives especially someone who is from the average middle person but what the government expects from the middle class is different and is kind of surprising when we give deep thought about it, The Government highly relies on the middle-class tax payers for the money and most of the taxes collected in the form of indirect taxes so that people may not actually aware that they are paying taxes for everything from their salary, fuel, medicine, anything everything has taxes that eat most our earnings.

So as a result we are paying from 10% to over 50% of our earnings just in the form of taxes in one or another way. So one who really wants to achieve financial independence should find a way to reduce their tax pay legally like how the businessmen do.

Or like the bald guy says, we need to find a way to exit the Matrix. Cheesy
Ordinarily as an individual in a middle class, you wouldn't feel much of the impact on the tax collected from you, because that is what is needed to keep the system functioning, especially for developed countries that has a functioning social structure.
If people decide to reduce the tax they pay, is more like saying there shouldn't be enough money for the government to use and run the system, because those are the revenue government collect to give us electricity, healthcare, and other infrastructure. However there are other ways of gaining financial independence.

Good morning my country people inside this morning, ona know say I partially dy new to this Bitcoin investment of a thing, na trading and mostly technical analysis I really dy conversant with before I come into this forum, because I dy trained in that craft and even till today, I dy use am dy see front most times, but e get one question wey since I come here, I never still get a clearer picture of, even after doing so many readings and finding inside this forum, so today I just say make I ask am officially if any one go fit throw more light on when is the best time to sell?

I know say some people get different kind of investment goals, so some people go only sell once their investment goal is met, some people na condition or emergencies dy force their hands to sell, while some people prefer to dy take only the profit on top, some dy sell only during the bull season and some people don even vow say Dem no go touch their holdings till 5-10 years time regardless of wether the investment go dy profitable or not, so in essence of all this is please, when is the best time to sell? I know say most snr men for here go dy reason am say i surpose know this thing, but as e be so, I no just know the best time to sell,  I don list out most of the scenario wey fit make person sell, but I no know which one be the best, abeg make ona enlightened me abeg.
Omo I feel say the sell totally dey dependent on the investor, investor fit dey one tight condition, way him need funds badly and maybe no option dey, so the next thing na for him to sell him coins to raise money.
Some people too fit still sell based on say them don hold for too long, so for them it's time to take their profit because of huge return on investment. Omo person no dey just dey sell him coins way him don dey hold for years, na except say something dey involved. So for me the selling dey solely on the individual differences.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: May 03, 2024, 05:37:56 PM
All Liverpool fans of course have a great disappointment to see their club who have currently been eliminated from all existing championship competitions, Liverpool's only focus this season is just to keep the 3rd position still in their own and of course at the moment it may still look safe for them to play in the Champions League next season, Liverpool fans no longer expect much on their remaining games this season and I think for now of course the motivation to win is no longer in Liverpool current squad, for now the competition between Arsenal and Manchester City is of course very tight and we can be sure if the Premier League title this season will be determined until the last match of the Premier League.

The question mark at this time is why Liverpool's performance suddenly falls, because indeed since the season started we can see how consistent the performance Liverpool had at that time, but surprisingly they suddenly slumped when the season was about to end, for now of course Manchester City and Arsenal who are strong candidates to win the league this season must still be able to maintain their performance towards the end of the season because currently every The match will be crucial for both teams.
Everything is over for Liverpool in all competitions and they failed, but to be able to finish in the top 4, the Liverpool team is quite safe now, it is no longer possible to catch up with their points.

Now only Manchester City and Arsenal are competing for the title this season and I think it will be fierce until the last week of the season, Manchester City and Arsenal cannot draw or lose the remaining matches this season. If that happens then the chance to win the title will immediately disappear. .

For Liverpool's performance which dropped drastically at the end of the season when the competition for the title was fierce, I think because many of their main players were injured and also when the team was in a slump, their mentality was destroyed, making it difficult for the Liverpool team to get up until they finally lost everything, that's normal. for a football team I think.
I really feel sorry for Liverpool after jurgen kloof has said he will be retiring at the end of the season, I believe he wanted to win a trophy at least before he will go for the retirement. Now they have lost all their hope in winning any trophy. I think they should just struggle now to maintain their top four so that they can come for the champions League next season. It is very unfortunate that you cannot even pinpoint what is the tactical error that is going on with Liverpool at the moment that has brought them down to this extent, it will be a big job for the next person taking over the managerial role for Liverpool next season.
8  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Would you still use Patricia after recent events? on: May 03, 2024, 10:10:17 AM
Recents events don cause users to doubt the credibility of the crypto exchange way them dey call Patricia. This wahala start from May 2023, when users come discover say them no fit withdraw money from the exchange. After much kasala for internet, na so Patricia come out come talk say them hack them. According to the CEO, then lose over $2million to the hack. Some people nor buy this story, them believe say nothing like hack happen. Na just the way the exchange won take do exit scam be that.

Even with all the story way we dey hear for internet, the CEO still dey reassure their users say the exchange go refund everybody their money back. So imagine the surprise when them come up with Patricia Token as repayment of the lost funds. This thing no just make sense at all. Which day Patricia Token won take get value? The whole thing just be like daylight robbery. Na say young entrepreneurs no dey fit manage large funds and companies? We see the same problem with FTX where company go dey bankrupt and the CEOs go still dey chop life with people money.

Just yesterday, e come be like say people darkest fear don come true as this tweet go viral about Patricia closing down.



Patricia don respond today to the allegations, them dey claim say na fake news and that they don come to stay.
Quote
Fejiro Hanu, the CEO of Nigerian crypto exchange Patricia, has denied rumors of its closure, calling them a media ploy for clicks and confirming that the exchange is still operating.
https://www.tradingview.com/news/cointelegraph:522f1cb47094b:0-nigeria-s-patricia-exchange-ceo-refutes-closure-rumors/

With all this things wey don happen, you go fit trust local exchanges? And wetin this one mean for other exchanges wey dey come up?



Omo Patricia don enter into so many scandal recently, I doubt if they will survive it, my pain is that, why are Nigeria made to suffer every time they support their own. I remember in PORT HARCOURT when Maxwell odum the CEO of MBA Forex did the same thing, he absconded with people funds and after convincing them to invest, e come be like na bad thing to patronise a fellow Nigerian for the tech industry.  A lot of us where really hoping Patricia will stand the test of time after so much publicity and even sponsoring Big Brother nija to help extend their clout, it's disappointing to say the least.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 02, 2024, 08:50:00 PM
To some Chelsea fans they'd think they're playing UEL today but let's allow them take their shot against Tottenham that's if  the Blues can find a way to win this game and the remaining games at hand, who knows they might qualify for the Europa League next campaign.
We all know that Chelsea is nowhere close to being in the same level as Tottenham Hotspur this season and I believe Spurs are the bigger side in this encounter, talking base on their current form. Tottenham did their best against the Gunners but it wasn't enough to get all 3pt but going against a side that's not up to expectations is going to be an easy game for Ange Postecoglou but on second thought Chelsea are weak not while they play against the bigger teams in the EPL this season, you see them play out their best like they're among the top 3 teams on the log (if they go head to head with the big teams). I think is never going to be a walk over game for Spurs, it is either a draw or Spurs will use this game to make up for the Arsenal game by getting all 3pt.
I can't think that far ahead to see Chelsea winning the Europa League position for next season, especially since they will face Totenham in this match which is very likely to give them defeat. To be able to play in the European League or even in the Champions League, I think Chelsea can try next season, because this season they can't expect anything at all. The decline they have shown in the last few seasons makes me have big doubts about them.

Chelsea will host Tottenham, which is an advantage for them. However, it won't be that easy to beat Tottenham, because Tottenham have played better than Chelsea this season. It is also possible that this result will give them 1 point, or in other words the match will end in a draw. However, they can take advantage of the situation experienced by Tottenham in the last 2 matches where they lost. Morally, Tottenham might be disturbed by this defeat.

Well you're right but don't forget that Chelsea can develop that spirit of luck and maybe some how smuggle their way through, who knows these guys can even win all remaining game including this Tottenham Hotspur that seems to be difficult for them. I have that feeling that Chelsea have been doing everything possible not to be beaten by these big teams but find it hard to avoid defeat against the smaller side.
Never will it be difficult to beat Tottenham and same goes to Chelsea too, we shouldn't write the Blues off in this encounter and if I'm to predict I'd go for a draw. If it were when this fixture was fresh I'd say Chelsea would win but they haven't gotten any win in a long while so a draw is likely to happen. But anything that makes Chelsea to come out top in this encounter I see them getting close to Manchester United on the log.
There is no doubt about Chelsea developing a spirit of luck, I saw that in one of the legs they played against Manchester city and I think it ended a draw, however the Tottenham I saw who played against arsenal can be very unpredictable sometimes with their outburst, Chelsea on the other hand are in Stanford bridge which for me will play a major role for their advantage,  I really cannot pinpoint a winner looking at the both teams at the moment, maybe it will be a draw game this evening.
Chelsea's match with Tottenham cannot be limited to just predicting the results of the previous match and we need to predict more in this match, but I think that Chelsea has a slightly bigger advantage to be able to win because they are playing at home, they certainly won't let their club be embarrassed by Tottenham.
A draw might be possible, but looking at recent matches, Chelsea also had a more consistent performance, even though they lost once, but far better than Tottenham, who got worse results.
However, I am worried that Tottenham will put up more resistance when they know that so many Chelsea players are currently injured.
At some point you where right, Chelsea certainly had a bigger advantage which is the Stanford bridge, and they eventually used it. Tottenham had good chances, they just didn't make use of any, they even played better than their encounter with arsenal. There was a time in the game that i almost got angry with VAR, when chalobah scored that header and everybody waited for VAR conclusion before they restart the game, for me it was pointless, because nobody was standing offside, it was a set piece which Tottenham players were all at the back, people where almost panicking that the goal will be called of, thankfully it didn't happen.

For those criticising M.JACKSON, today he was in score sheet in a crucial match, I hope those critics will shower him encomium for that second goal.
10  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: The fuel crisis issue in Nigeria and what I found out. on: May 02, 2024, 02:16:19 PM
I was able to make some inquiry as to why, we buy fuel at exorbitant amount and still yet the product is not available to buy.

There has been some lingering issue between the independent marketers, NNPC, NUPENG AND PENGASSAN.

on the side of government it is said that, government makes this product available on a subsidized rate, that is government, takes our crude oil overseas, refines it and sell it at a given price, which is officially 140 naira per litre to independent product marketers which in turn sell it at 150 to retailers, and retailers sell it 165 and. (official government rate).
 
Now here is the intriguing part

On a normal scenario, NNPC upon bringing this refined product to Nigeria, they are supposed to take it to the government owned depot, so that the government scheduled price will be implemented. But rather, NNPC takes this product to private depot and sell it at 180 naira, those private depot sell this product at 190 naira And above to retailers, that is why some retailers are selling around 200 and something Naira and above.

As at today, there is a memo by NNPC, that is going round, that the price of the product has increased to 185, it then means some of us will continue to buy this product at 200 and something Naira and above.

News like this is always the other if the day by our leaders but the truth remain that the NNPC is part of government and has presidential control if the president is not in connection with this kind of act I don't think it can happen all of this are trick use to estort the citizens and subject them inorder to made their way on the particular amount they desire to embezzled.

What then will be the case after being hard that they have decentralized the from the NNPC as private oil marketers can buy and sell on their rate which has even work out well as different suppliers are using the issue of subsidy to influence the cost of fuel, I see all this as politics many who find their way play to the detriment of the poor citizens, all one need is to stand out from certain financial barrier because things like this will always take place until curruption is totally reduce to certain percentage lower the what it's today.
Which was why I was vehemently against the Idea to let NNCP stand on its own as limited liability company, breaking them out from ministry of petroleum. All of these measures are to stifle the economy for the average Nigerian and set the stage ready for those in the upper echelon to continue to loot the system, the queues are back again, the price of PMS is 1k in some areas which is bad for an oil producing state like Nigeria.
Funny enough, I recently saw a video where a lady was complaining about this same fuel situation in 1994, that's to tell you that for over 30 years, we've not been able to sort out ourselves.
11  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: May 02, 2024, 01:59:47 PM
OK, the DIP is coming and it's NOW the time for YOU to PAY ATTENTION. For those who employ a DCA strategy, it's probably a good decision to start making your purchases bigger. For those who employ a Buy the DIP strategy, start placing your bids NOW. Currently, the 200-Weekly Simple Moving Average is at $34,200. Will it touch that line again? Probably not, but near that line has always been a good buying opportunity.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bitcoin bounced back to $56500 today creating a substantial opportunity for Bitcoin investors. As Bitcoin broke the $60,000 line and dropped to the $56,000 line, Bitcoin may fall to $50,000, making it a good time to invest for Bitcoin investors. For those who invest using the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) method, this is considered a dip market enough to invest in.

Though it's actually true that the price of Bitcoin can drop even further, considering the market sentiment, but as an investor that we are, I don't really think it's necessary analysing the market before we start buying, because every time is an opportunity to invest in Bitcoin, and as an investor that is accumulating Bitcoin through the DCA accumulating strategy, you are actually going to be the most benefactor because at some point during the accumulate journey, you may buy the lowest part of the deep, and even decide to buy aggressively during that period that the price was very down, as long as it doesn't affect you in financing your your day to day activities, but for those that are waiting only to buy at the deep, they are definitely going to miss a whole lot of buying opportunities, because the kind of deep they may be waiting for may not come again, so it's best to buy now.

And lastly, as a long term investor that we are, it's actually pointless paying too much attention to the price of Bitcoin every now and then, though it's very difficult to do, the best way to hold is for you to focus more on accumulating Bitcoin and stop paying too much attention to your current stash of holding, so that you won't be tempted to temper with it at some point.
Funny enough the DCA method is not only for when there is a dip, it's a method that allows you accumulate no matter the price range, There is no doubt about the fact that a dips allows you to buy or accumulator at cheap rate which is an advantage for most investors because they see it as an opportunity, but the DCA method encompasses all of that.

It is hard for investors not to always look at the price of their investment,  it is said that where your treasure lies, there will your heart be. So for me is a normal thing for most investors to regularly check on price fluctuation.

PSG are losing so far, but it's not the end of the match... But perhaps Dortmund are playing with more confidence at home... PSG have fewer dangerous chances, of which there were only a few... At the beginning of the second half, Mbappe tries to do something, but Dortmund are fine...
Dortmund are more crazy playing at home especially so many fans who fill the stadium this adds to the mentality of the players to be more enthusiastic and aggressive in attack, I saw in the second half more Dortmund attacks than PSG.

Yes PSG are trying to find space to make a goal but until now it is still difficult even though there is still time to do it, Dortmund will not let that happen but I hope this match ends in a draw because that's the bet I did. Cheesy
It was the same thing I was telling a friend, that Dortmund play differently on their home ground, if you watch the way they played against PSG, you will notice how fierce they are with their attack and midfield, they don't have your regular players with much publication but are a group of average players with a different approach to the game of football, to large extent I feel PSG are even Lucky not to conceive more than one goal on Dortmund's ground. If PSG will get a draw, that might be at their home soil in Paris, which I still believe to a large extent that it might be difficult for them even.

With all these happening, I suggest we should be reminded as bitcoiners on what we are made for and should not loose focus on how we can achieve our target with the use of bitcoin for our financial economy in all modules of it's applications Privacy should be our heritage with bitcoin, using centralized exchanges is the weakest means to have it, because the governments will be after you when you're under a centralized exchange, they have all your details with them.

Every bitcoiners should understand why they need to have in custody their own digital financial asset and not with third parties like exchange ss, they can be attacked, hacked and if any of these happens, our asset with them are gone, we should learn to avoid the use of exchange, hold our bitcoin on cold storages and remember that not your keys not your coins still ever remains verdict in bitcoin network.


The Binance CEO has really faced a lot of persecution from the government, he is like a lone sheep in the wilderness facing all the wolves.
This is more like giving a dog a bad name just so that you could kill it, it's purely a fight against the Bitcoin community and considering the fact that Binance is a leading CEX, they are fighting it with all their might. Luckily a four months sentence is not much, but it's a dent on his imagine and that is what they've been looking for, since the last prosecution ended in forfeiture.

When you want to invest in Bitcoin don't because people is investing in Bitcoin and you invest, I prefer taking my time to make a research before I invest on Bitcoin, Bitcoin invest is good but when you don't take your time to invest in Bitcoin then you will invest wrongly, the first time I invested I did not follow anyone step rather I do follow the research I made before I invest, some persons does not control emotions before they invest they follow a side news to invest on Bitcoin and that is why some of them do experience hard luck for their invest, in summary invest when you want to invest, don't follow the crowd but follow your instinct
Investing in Bitcoin does not really go with instincts, it goes with knowledge, how knowledgeable you are about the concept of Bitcoin will determine how you can be able to easily navigate and create an investment system for yourself. Bitcoin is not like a quick fix financial investment system, it requires patient and a long time plan, however It has little to do with your emotions or your instinct but more to do with your knowledge, so I would rather say that let your instincts be knowledge base and also have a strong conviction while investing in Bitcoin.

In terms play of in my opinion both of them are quite open to each other, able to provide attacks to each other's defense, it's just that Bayern Munich get opportunities more often but they forget that Madrid has Kross who knows which positions they can exploit. In a physical duel, Vini and Rodrygo were unable to get past the tall, well built Bayern Munich defender. Ancelotti must be able to implement a good game because that is his only chance to excel. The results of the first half were quite surprising. Madrid attacked more than attacking, but by utilizing counter attacks they were very effective so they were able to score goals. After Vini scored a goal, the attack intensity became more balanced. In the first half, Bellingham role was not very visible so when attacking, Madrid relied more on the wings.

The second half will definitely be more exciting and Madrid needs to add goals because 1 alone will not be a safe result. Bayern Munich target is quite clear, of course they can equalize because this is a home match that must be maximized.
I quite agree with you, Bayern Munich so far have created more opportunities to score than Real Madrid, Kane had a brilliant free kick that almost saw the back of the net, Bayern defence too have pushed back the Madrid attacking force back too. But one thing Bayern are forgetting is that, while playing a team like Madrid, you have to make use of the slight opportunities you have, Because just looking at how vini was able to convert that chance to make it 1-0 this first half mean while Bayern have had similar opportunities or even more but yet still struggling to score.

Yes I have read some post where some of the beginner are mostly being attack due to inability to understand how the forum works, and for them to ask some question they needs clarification but at last got attack. I am not against of anyone attacking each others but let it be a way that everyone including the newbie has some little air space to breath than in every single discussion you would see those who calls themselves overall rank would come attack, either by saying your post doesn't belong here and there, low quality post, lack of English, poor English, etc. okay, must everyone be a graduate as you are? No

So, Yes they are new people I know they are and (you that is reading this post were once a newbie) and as then you didn't know it all right? Even if one happens to go check your post history there would be lot lapse and mistake on your profile which would contain lot of shit-post and you started from a step before what so called rank you have achieved currently that is ringing your f**king brain as  if you are superior to everyone. My dear you gat f**k down your anus and give people space to understand forum gradually with the way they think is best for them, correct people but no attack if you are attacking then what true messages are you passing after knowing the true vision bitcoin and it's representatives.

Correct without hate words, learn without getting offense and speak with love. By so doing everyone would be welcomed to the community!
Thank you all.
OP, You can actually pass your message without those foul words, because how are you different from the people you are complaining about, "he who comes to equity must come with clean hands" they say.

However is not everybody that contribute to the community is a graduate, the forum is for everybody but you most post in simple and correct English except you are in your local board. More so if a newbie makes a mistake, it is inherent on the experience members to correct that person and point out where the errors are, that for me shouldn't be seen as an attack, because it is those corrections that will help shape the mindset of those newbies and invariably help them to understand how the forum works.

I partially agree with you. Bayern Munich's performances have been erratic this season. Despite having a strong squad, Bayern Munich is not able to consistently perform well. The team's performance in the Bundesliga was also very poor. And this is why the Munich team failed to win the Bundesliga title.

Real Madrid is very strong and experienced. The bonding between the players is very good. Real Madrid qualified for the semi-finals by defeating a strong team like Manchester City. Real Madrid team will be considered favorites against Bayern Munich. But the Munich team is strong enough. There is no doubt that the match will be very competitive.
The odds for Bayern decreased slightly on the last day, now according to bookmakers, they have a slight advantage, 2.37 versus 3.05 for Real. I think this is because it will be a home match for Bayern, since despite the bad season they play relatively well at home. I agree that Real are strong because they were able to beat City, but Real never beat them, it was two draws and the winner was only determined in a penalty. It will be difficult for Bayern to beat Real Madrid, but if they want to do it, they need to do it today.
This first leg match will take place at home to Bayern Munich and their last meeting in the UCL only ended in 2 - 2 draw but this time it will be much different.
Maybe if Bayern Munich can play well and really take advantage of the home game then it could end in draw but for victory I think the chances are quite small considering that Real Madrid is strong team at the moment.
It will be difficult for Bayern Munich to beat Real Madrid even though they have home advantage, we can see that in the quarter-final match when Real Madrid vs Manchester City.
This will be fairly effective assessment in predicting the results of Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid today.

I myself have prediction that this match will be won by Real Madrid and if there is surprise it will end in draw.
This particular Bayern Munich team don't have that much tenacity in the allianz arena especially to an opponent like Real Madrid, for a team that is fiercely hungry for victory like Real Madrid for Bayern to use that home advantage factor against. At this stage of the competition, Real Madrid have players that are so experienced in their team, who understands the psychology of the champions League at this stage, though Bayern have some few experience players but not to be compared with Madrid.

If not for the understanding of the game the Madrid team have in the champions League, they would have lost to Manchester City, and I believe the Bayern Munich team wouldn't have stand a chance against a Manchester City team if they had met in the quarter finals.

Yes, Arsenal experienced heart-stopping moments at the end of the match on Tottenham's field. The biggest challenge for Man City will be the away trip to Tottenham's stadium. Ange Postecoglou's team is still racing for a place in the top four and will compete without mercy. In addition, Man City has a poor record on Spurs' field. But with their current strength, they will easily overcome this match.

As for Arsenal, they still have a difficult match. I think this opponent will be more challenging to play than Tottenham, even though they are ranked below Tottenham. The Gunners will have to face Man United away from home. Although Erik ten Hag's team has played poorly this season, on a good day, they can completely ruin Arsenal's championship dream. It's just like how Man United destroyed Liverpool. Man United is now officially out of chances to reach the top 4 but is still fighting to win a place in next season's European Cup. Of course, Arsenal is still slightly better than the odds.

This will not be easy for Manchester City because Tottenham still really needs to win to finish in the top 4 so the match between these two teams will be quite fierce because both teams have great motivation to win the match.

Regardless of what happened, Arsenal managed to win over Tottenham and I think this victory will have quite a positive impact on the mentality and self-confidence of the Arsenal players.

Manchester City and Arsenal are still competing fiercely for the title and in the remaining matches this season I think these two teams will have a match that will not be easy to escape from any opponent, but Manchester City and Arsenal always seem to be facing the final match, if they fail to win in one of the remaining matches. this season then it all ends.
However if there is any team I would want for them to face difficulty for the remaining matches, that would be Manchester city. I saw their game against Nottingham forest, it wasn't too impressive even though they won the game, Nottingham forest had good chances, if it was to be an unlucky day, that result would have come out differently. So I still believe a draw or a lose is still out there waiting for Manchester city for the remaining games.

Arsenal against Tottenham,  arsenal had a good game from the first half, but they went back to relax thinking the first half had already won the game because of the 3-0 margin, they had to escape narrowly with that win in the second half. More so arsenal for me looks very healthy with their outburst these period, they should just maintain the tempo for me.
