Yes, I heard about this conflict and Osimhen spoke very harshly about this agent on Twitter - he told him to shut his dirty mouth and all that stuff. To be honest, I didn’t understand at all why that agent started saying such strange things, maybe later we’ll find out the reason behind all this bickering.
As for Chelsea, yes, they can probably afford to buy Osimhen and even without aggravating their situation in terms of FFP - they only need to sell some of the players to free up finances for a new transfer.

I am not a fan of supporting people blindly so I prefer to get as much information as possible from the incidents that happened before jumping into conclusion and drawing my perspective or opinion from it. Firstly, it is not just okay for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s agent, Jugeli  to release statements about Osihmhen without have a fact record or accurate information at hand. It is not really encouraging for him to just make statements on other players other than his especially as it relates with the issue of transfers and club, when he's very much aware of the existing sour that exists between the player and his club.

Secondly, Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda is not at fault to find that insulting for another agent to dictate or predict the future of his player since such can affect the reputation of his player. Any thing about the transfer of the player from Napoli to any other club, not just the Saudi clubs have to be announced by Calendar and not Judeli because they are sensitive to the player's professional career. Delving into such issues to make public announcement kindof will only result in crisis especially when Osihmhen just signed a renewed contract with Napoli not quiet long.

Liverpool won their match against Fulham and they’ve had 2 wins out of 2 since Salah got absent due to the AFCON. This team have tried to maintain victory even with his absence but they’ve struggled and not scored plenty of goals. And this Liverpool team is used to scoring plenty of goals, i feel the second leg of the encounter will be quite fierce especially as Fulham tried to contain them this first leg though they couldn’t hold for long.  Moh Salah still out so I think Fulham will learn from this match and head to the next with all they’ve learned.

The most interesting part of this match was the 2 goals that were scored by Liverpool in 3 minutes after Fulham started the first half of the game with the much needed energy. Liverpool later showed their professionalism in the second half with the goals. Fulham who were the visitors stepped into Anfield with William goal but was later to be canceled by more goals won by the homeowners. Well done Klopp!

For some times now e dey very difficult to obtain international passport for this country. The money wey you go spend and the long time e go take before being processed really dey discouraging. This administration together with the ministry of interior and immigration services don launch the automation passport system.

Tunji Ojo needs to be wholeheartedly applauded and duly appreciated for the landmark achievements he have recorded in the ministry, especially, when he orchestrated the clearance of over 200,000 backlogs of passports left in the system for the very long time now. I can't imagine that gone are those days when you find it very difficult to get a passport ready, but you have to wait tirelessly or lobby for it with an insider officer to help you push the process to a fruition. To the point that he was even awarded with the "Public Service Person Of The Year 2023” by Leadership newspaper.

Anyways, at least we are improving. Easily opening the borders would make foreign Interactions easy. People who leave the country for any reason especially Education and are patriotic enough can even come back and better the country. So, if possible the price and time span should also be cut down in the near future. God bless this country.

His attention to the neglected border community have also been profound which before he came it was a big issue by those people who are most oftentimes being ignore in the scheme of works. The second aspect is the milestone he recorded with the decongestation of over 4,000 inmates in the Nigerian correctional facilities.

Ancelotti and his boys are really playing and putting all efforts in their game. I guess this season might be a good one for them and I agree with you, they do tend to stand out from the other teams in the La liga Santander most especially their arch rivals Barcelona. With the season is going for them I see them winning the champions league and even the la Liga although it's still early but with the showdown I watch this night with their game with against athletic Madrid it's okay to say real Madrid are building back that their winning drive that has helped them win lots of league titles.

I'm thrilled by the performance of the Real Madrid right now, following the 5 goals win over the Atletico Madrid who got 3 goals at the end of the match. The interesting part of the game was the effort that Atletico put into their plan to ensure that they win but kindly enough, Real Madrid canceled the goals with Rudiger's and Mendy. Immediately after Mendy's goal and Griezman. Carvajal, Savic and Brahim who scored at the deadline of the match.
464  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think women will make better gamblers by their nature? on: January 10, 2024, 11:36:17 PM
Women by nature are more conservative than men. They are better manager of resources and know how to prioritise things. This is what is needed for successful gambling because with it, the chances of using funds meant for basic needs in gambling will be minimised.

So do you think women will make better gamblers than men?

In what aspect? How do you evaluate this or what do you think women are aware of in terms of gambling that men are not? Do you think women can bear more lost than men, and is gambling just all about the loses or do you think women can guess right more than men will. I don't think Bitcoin is anyway associated with gender-specific traits.

To say the least is for you to mention that women are probably more knowledgeable than men which is not a fact anywhere as far as my knowledge and research is concerned. If that's the case, then all you need to attain mastery or become victorious about gambling is your strategy, discipline and understanding of odds.

But how is this related to gambling discussion? For women to be gambling instead of men if they can have better self-control or what are you talking about? If I should tell my mind, this kind of thread is not needed at all and it belongs to off-topic.

If most women can know how to manage more than most men, that is the reason you will see just few women that are gambling, unlike we men. If women are gambling, some may also be prone to addiction.

I agree with you on your last paragraph. If women are to indulge into gambling as men do, I feel like they may fall victim of addiction since the games are generally addictive and women seems to be more emotionally attached to things they desire than men do. So, there is no gender-specific traits to gambling and it is an oversimplification to say women will make better gamblers than men.

I think it's not because Real Madrid is currently good, but the Atletico Madrid team is inconsistent and has experienced a slight decline in performance recently so that Real Madrid is the favorite to be able to beat Atletico Madrid.
While Barcelona is really down right now, I think Osasuna's chances are bigger to advance to the final.
Real Madrid is currently in a very good form and all their key players are in good condition and very ready for this game against atletico, with vinicious and Bellingham present in this game I doubt if Atletico has got any chance with this coupled with the fact that Real Madrid will be playing from home it's an advantage for them.

Real Madrid is very optimistic to win this match but like you said, they need more players to fill in the space. Bellingham and other guys need to stay very focused and strong at the very best. It will be good to see a scenario where Real Madrid will face Barcelona in the finals or in another hand, Osasuna meeting with Atletico to take the lead. Sometimes, it is refreshing to see these junior teams take the lead and titles.

Im excited about this Real Madrid-Atletico Madrid match. I lean toward Real Madrid since their recent form is more promising. With Vini Jr. back, their offense seems strong. Remember their Girona match? Atletico played well, but Real Madrid had the edge.

Its been a close match in their last five, but I think Real Madrid will win this time. They're not simply competing for points; a revenge plan is hatching following that LaLiga loss. Atletico never make it easy, but Real's momentum should help them. It will be an action-packed match!

Atletico Madrid won over Real Madrid in the last fixturing in a 3 to 1 win while Atletico was the one at home. This time around I feel like the table is going to turn around with Real Madrid seeming to win the match. That's my humble opinion though I'm not sure if that will be the case.

The match is still few hours away and we can't completely predict the formation and first XI for the clubs yet but I'm sure Ancelotti will be high on the heels now to make sure he takes the lead on this one. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid won't also want to give up now because they are also very hopeful and confident that they will win again or draw in the match.
466  Economy / Economics / Re: How to stay poor! on: January 10, 2024, 02:28:16 PM
As a businessman or salary earners here are tips on how to stay poor in life. Grin

1. Spending your money on unnecessary items immediately the money arrives. Trying to prove a point to people by living a standard that is above your pay grade.

This is very true as I can personally attest to the bad side of spending your finances on unnecessary items that will not add to your financial assets. Or benefit you in the near and future. I have been a victim of trying to impress my peers and family members by always budgeting and spending money on things that do not impact me but rather ends up exceeding my pay grade. This is me always waiting to recieve my salary and spend it on family and friends problems. Always promising to solve people's problems leaving my own issues underlying. My advise to every young person out there is for them learn how to priorize their expenses and spend only on important things.

Quote
2. Live on one source of income. Everyday of our life our responsibilities and challenges keeps piling up accumulating without consideration to our financial capability. The economy and cost of living continue getting worsen. So in order not to be able to beat this piling settle comfortably on a single source of income flow.

On this aspect, I'm not doing so badly, my rule in life is for everyone out there to have at least 4 different streams of income. And 4 is the least for my standard. Like the Four Rivers of Paradise described in the Book of Genesis, where an unnamed stream flowing out of the Garden of Eden splits into Four different branches, so shall the blessings and riches of man come from different branches and for me the minimum will be four.

Therefore, I am a writer and content developer who works on profiling of celebrities and write blog articles talking about society, politics and business as my areas of focus. I am into graphics designer and a printer at the same working for private companies around my country. I am also a proud member of this forum and always try to contribute by sharing my opinions and perspectives to issues within my purview. Lastly, I own a PR company which is focused on image making and proper communication of brand missions and projects to the bigger and wider audiences.

Quote
3. Become an extremely cheerful giver/lender to friends and family. A wisdom quote I read somewhere said, "if you want to lose your friends and family lend them money".  Keeping doing this and you going to be successfully poor.

This i think is synonymous to the first statement especially as it concerns me. For others, it will be more of spendingon dresses, at clubs and other fashion or technological assessories, but for me it was more of spending on others or at most taking different girls out on dates. Thereby finishing up my finances on such events.

Quote
4.Learn how not to mind your own business, making every events around you your concern even when it doesn't affect you. It's a nice way to make cool enemies. Etc.

I trust you all get the sarcasm as conveyed.

Well, I would not also say that I'm the event type as I don't really like going to birthdays, anniversaries parties or whatnot, so making cool enemies is not really my thing but I see how people gradually make enemies on events that will absolutely be avoidable.

In a nutshell. Let's try and avoid unnecessary liabilities and expenses instead go into savings however little and get used to investing our money for the period of need.
467  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How to end indecision and delay on bitcoin investment on: January 10, 2024, 12:50:13 PM
The following is the most valuable guidelines of ending indecision and delay during investment on bitcoin.
1. Identify the area of indecision and remove fear that leads to failure.

I don't really blame or finger people for their indecision or fear in the Bitcoin investment including other cryptocurrencies, this is because most people are scared of the volatility in the market thereby becoming increasingly worried about the likely failure that can stem from the lost.

Secondly, most users as well as lovers of Bitcoin are mostly scared of the lack of knowledge on the intricacies of the technology thereby being fearful to invest in it. This is simply because the invention and adoption of Bitcoin is new to many, and only a few still have deepest understanding of the technical skills that surrounds the technology.

So, to take away fear from failure in the Bitcoin investment is to enlighten ourselves more with the technical aspects of the technology especially the investment associated risks and market trends.

Quote
2. Focus more on the benefits not on the losses.

The truth is, Bitcoin presents us with a myriad of benefits that can be compelling. One is supposed to look at the long term benefits of what comes with investment in the technology rather than looking at the short term losses that is associated with it. Understanding that Bitcoin gives us ample of opportunities to become financially independent through trading and investing in it, makes you feel better than worse in investing on Bitcoin. It also helps you to face the fears and build a thick skin around the potential failures that comes with it. Mind you, there's no business investment that doesn't come with associated risks and potential failures.

Looking at the bigger picture of why the technology supercedes the traditional banking will give you more confidence in investing in your time and efforts to learn more about it. For instance, Bitcoin gives you the opportunity to invest through the DCA approach and still make profits out of your investments. It also helps you to understand the market trend and minimize the risk and lost with your investments.

Quote
3. Create timetable and gives deadline.

Consistent and adherence to a consistent timeline through setting of achievable goals makes it easier for you to win in your bitcoin investment career. This can be achieved when you establish a well structured approach by crafting a clear timetable that will outline specific milestone for your investments. When you do that, it gives you a clarity and road map for your investment journey.

When you also give yourself the habit of regularly reviewing your milestones and cementing the mistakes, it gives you the edge to reduce the failure of the investments. This is mostly achieved through creating effective timetable, which makes you more organized, focused, discipline and result-oriented.

Quote
4. Always be optimistic by avoiding spirit of pesmistic.

Optimism is key in every aspect of life. You fulfill your goals and desires, when you look at the positive side of investing, it gives you the spiritual energy and encouragement to triumph.


Quote
5. Avoid people opinion because it may be harmful mostly coming from wrong source
6. Always be self confidence
7. Understand the scope others has taken to succeed
8. Evaluate positively and negatively  your past indecision and delay consequences
9. Put into action what your mind tells you without second thought.
I think this can help us this year on Bitcoin investment , please add yours to help our growth.

Other guidelines like understanding the scope others took to succeed and putting into action what your mind inspires you to do without a second thought, helps you to easily navigate your way to successful trading and investment. A good investor, is well guided and positively imparted by ideas that run into their minds. Your mindset tells a lot about your persona and goes on to influence your level of success in your investment life.

469  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: POWER OF CORRUPTION on: January 09, 2024, 10:18:49 PM
People dey always dey talk say power corrupt, power corrupt, yes most of us don talk am before, we dey think say na power dey corrupt person but the truth be say most of us already get corruption inside of us we only need the opportunity (power) to bring out the corruption in us. A man once said if you really want to know the person true self give him 3 things: Money, Power and Access to Sex. With this 3 things you can know any one true nature. So no be power dey corrupt, power only reveals corruption.

To an extent, I may seem to agree with your ascertions, but to a very large extent, I may like to disagree too. Saying this means that I believe there's no generality in what you said. Sometimes, people become tempted to power and as such they go into things they never thought they could through the influence of others. On this case, I fit talk say, the person mind been don almost they corrupt but na the opportunity to join the corruption na hin him been they lack, so as he saw the opportunity in the individuals surrounding him, or his colleagues, he grabbed it well by joining them.

Another reason why I been talk say I go disagree with you be say, there's what we call; SYSTEMIC CORRUPTION or in another words, ENDEMIC CORRUPTION, and that's the kind of corruption that happens within the weak system of an organization. Most of these corruptions take place in the public sector rather than the private sector.

In the kind of corruption, it is like a cabal or cartel system where it runs through ranks of the organization in an organized manner mostly orchestrated by the top officials or the government in itself to loot out funds from the organization. You don't need to have intentions to be corrupt before you're drawn into it, especially when you get promoted to such ranks. This time around it's not an individual thing and it in such cases that you're given the thin option to join the system or resign with immediate effect in the event that you refuse or frustrate the syndicate.
470  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Happy Birthday Bitcoin. Its been 15 year mined first Block. 🎂 on: January 09, 2024, 08:48:22 PM
The first Bitcoin block was mined on January 9, 2009, at 08:54:25. So today, 15 years ago, we got Bitcoin that was first mined. Out of curiosity, I had been checking Block 1 and surprisingly saw that it was mined this day. So quite excited and expressing the celebrations. I know the discovery process was long, but the final stage was today. Today, the world got a new currency that has changed the world's financial system. I don't know how to thank the mastermind behind this Bitcoin concept, Satoshi Nakamoto, but salute. 🙋‍♂️

Everything about bitcoin is worth celebrating. Honestly, I should join you in this celebration of a technology that's like a blessing to the world. I'm still looking back in history till today, if I could come across one, single technology that was invented selflessly to liberate the world from the autocratic system of leadership we have in the world, where just a few people within the systems that try to control all the affairs of the world including the financial system. It doesn't make sense to think over how our leaders remain selfish in their judgements thereby caring less of what it makes of their followers.

Thank you bigly to the great inventor of all time, Satoshi Nakomoto who brought about the existence of the Bitcoin and by extension the cryptocurrencies to become another alternative to the fiat currency that's solely controlled by governments. Happy birthday guys!  Grin
471  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Is Investing into crypto really safe? on: January 08, 2024, 03:19:03 PM
Crypto currency investment na risky kind of investment, because Several risk dey associated to this kind of investment, crypto currencies dey very volatile, come dey make crypto investors more vulnerable to losses,  but most persons no dey reason am , them invest in am heavily and most of them done cash out, and still most of them still loose money, crypto investment fit profit you or fit make you loose money before you close eye open, because the price fit climb or drop before you close eye open. E better to take the risk, but take the risk responsibly.

If that's the case, every investment has risks attached to it and for people that are investment friendly and businesspeople, there is an associated risk with it and that's why risk management is one key aspect that we must learn as people who are interested in joining business.

If you understand this, it becomes more easier for you to invest in cryptocurrencies and have a peace of mind. When there is a bull run or bear, you will be able to manage the issues and control your losses. Being very ambitious is one thing that kills businesses easily likewise is greediness.
472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 07, 2024, 08:36:29 PM
Conceding 2 goals injury time in the second half is not what Arsenal sign up for, alot of things changed for them because they failed to tie their knots on the head, instead they settle for lesser results. While Liverpool brought in their very best to suit in the necessary targets. Top goals are the ultimate targets for Liverpool in the FA Cup. Jurgen Klopp doesn't look serious with the game clash towards Arsenal but he still managed to win matches. As for the Gunners, they had the golden opportunities but failed to utilized them into resourceful baits.

I love your assertions about Arsenal in this last game because I also view it with the same perception. Even though many of us will say, this is just an FA Cup but that doesn't matter at all as what matters the most is that Arsenal failed to win over Liverpool, regardless of which competition both clubs are faced with. I'm not getting the same vibes like I used to get from Arsenal in the beginning of the season and I feel like Arteta is not being as steadfast and proactive as he used to be in the early days.

City are slowly getting into their best form, and it is at this time in the season that they start playing with a lot of purpose and more often than not, it fires them on to go and win as many trophies as possible. Huddersfield was never going to trouble City today, at least not in the Etihad, it was always going to be a comfortable victory for Pep and his boys, and that's exactly what was achieved.

I cannot believe that I saw a whooping 5 goals over 0 from the Man City to Huddersfield. That does not mean that I was not expecting it anyways. Going by the last five matches that both clubs played, it will be easy for you predict something more or less pending on the current form in which Manchester City finds itself. Why I was shocked was that Manchester City was able to lash them that much again after they have done that before. Their last match together before today was a 0 - 3 win against Huddersfield, before then it was 6 - 1, a draw, 1 - 2 and 5 - 1 win against Huddersfield. Well done guys for repeat the wins and hardluck to Huddersfield for not improving better in today's competition.
473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou - March 9 on: January 07, 2024, 08:18:34 PM
I don’t think either of them have a chance against Francis after seeing him fight Tyson and lay him on the canvas. We all know he won that fight… This will be another interesting matchup but I think Francis has this. That guy is just a beast. Anthony Joshua better be getting a huge payday because if he loses this will definitely hurt his career.

I think the fact that Anthony Joshua's career is at stake makes the match even more interesting. This is a battle between a former UFC champion Ngannou and former unified world heavyweight champion, Joshua which makes it a great match for the challenge.

Both guys have recorded great success and big wins in the last year, for Joshua, he was able to secure a three straight win throughout last year with his last one being his fight against Wallen when he mentioned that he was ready to fight with anyone at anywhere.

On the other side, Ngannou also performed outstandingly in the last year with the most profound one which was his fight and victory against the popular Tyson Fury in his first professional game. Let's see what this fight will result to before making conclusions and at same time, we will need to also hear from the press conference scheduled to happen on the 15th of January, this month.
474  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Human trafficking on: January 07, 2024, 03:57:48 PM
Human trafficking is one of the most lucrative illicit businesses in Europe, with criminal groups making about $3 billion from it per year, making it a considerable criminal business that preys on the world's most marginalized persons
But the profits from these forms of trafficking are reversed: Nearly two-thirds of global profits ($99 billion) come from sex exploitation while $51 billion result from all other forms of forced labor. This goes to show you the amount of degradation we current humans are.

It will also interest you to know other over 3 million Africans out there are in forced labour and slavery and what is generated from these set of people can run up to the tune of 13 billion dollars. This is scary right. But that's the case. West Africa amongst others have been said to be the highest of those numbers experiencing high level of regular and irregular kind of trafficking. Which have also created a lucrative business to more traffickers in the business cycle.

We've also seen cases of those who try to migrate to the Europe through the Mediterranean Sea and many of these people are struck with hunger and will end up being killed in the process. Women and girls have recorded highest numbers of the abuses related to the trafficking. Such as sexual violence and other related abuses. It's unfortunate but that's the reality. It's even more annoying to say that these things are still prevalent till today although not as pronounced.
475  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Neo-colonialism: Is Nigeria Still Under British Rule? on: January 07, 2024, 11:34:40 AM
nigeria is an independent country free from colonisation. so it can determine its own policies. even hongkong, which became a colony of England in 1997, was free and joined china, which has its own power and territory to determine its policies.
even in sports events, Hong Kong has its own flag, whether it is a British colony or has joined China.

You should not compare Nigeria and Hong Kong, they are two different countries situated in two different continents, although you can say they are both British colonies, yet you just mentioned that they joined China which differentiate them from Nigeria.

As far as I'm concerned, Nigeria is under neo-colonialism because we are still working for the British people until today. The Exxon Mobil, Shell, Chevron oil and gas businesses are those that have been living heavily at the expenses of the other businesses domicile in Nigeria. The same thing applies to other sectors like the Mines and Steel as well as our Governance.

Manchester city winning isn't a recent but something they have been doing over the season except for a few times they were suffering some set back and lost some games and now in recent time they are gradually getting pass those period of set back and already getting some wins again. De bruyne has been in camp training with his team members for awhile now and we are still very hopeful that he joins the to Play soon as his presence on the pitch definitely means a lot to the Manchester city side.

It is not. Manchester city has been doing greatly since from the inception of the season and I don't think they have lost up to 3 matches consecutively and that is a good review for any club out there especially in the European Champions League where you meet with bigger clubs that are also equal to the task.

Quote
Injury has been an inevitable aspect of football and it's effect is usually felt by almost every team at a point in time in almost all the seasons, it rare to find a team go a whole season without an injured player except the players didn't play football.

Everyone who's used to watching football will agree with the fact that you cannot resist having injuries in football through out a season my this is because players have different fitness and level of endurance as well as tactics. All these things contribute to how long a player can stay without being injured. This is aside from the physique. That's why it is a great effort to teach players how to defend themselves from injuries and tackles. But in the end,every player's longevity matters.
477  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can two clubs owned by one person participate in the Champions League? on: January 06, 2024, 08:15:30 PM
No. It is good you brought this question because it will educate many of us. This rule against dependence of clubs was adopted around 1998 and towards 2001 it became active. It prevents clubs that are directly owned and financed from one source to participate in UEFA competition.

I think the major reason for such role is to avoid match fixing. Imagine where the one of the two clubs is yet to qualify and they are to play each other, so what will happen in such instance, of course match fixing.

This is why I love football. It is because amidst the fact that humans cannot run away from errors that are as a result of interests, they still try as much as possible to look critically and legislate rules that will ensure that there is sanity in the game and a sense of fair play in the system as an entirety.

This rule on clubs owned by same entities not allowed to participate in champions league was a well-thought out idea and this is because although the both teams will be run by different management and may have different orientations as well as they may be very competitive to one another, that is not the only issue.  Another issue is that both teams can be easily bias when they are fixtured in the same pitch.

For instance, one club can decide to make it easier for the other club to win because the owner must have arranged the plan to the advantage of the latter club and reasons to that can be due to when one of the club is seen as more promising to the other,  that bias can come in immediately to favour one another.

Another instance is when they play same table, they can plan on ways to sabotage other clubs and even when that may seem incredibly difficult to do, they can still bring about that insecurity and fear in the minds of the other teams.

I don't think Ten Hag is the problem of Manchester united because his last season results showed that he did a great job to make the team ended up in 4th position and there is still hope for them to move from this current position to a higher position. But when the coach released Ronaldo from Manchester united but the team continue improve compare to this season but the major problem Manchester united is facing in this season is the goalkeeper because, since they released their formal goalkeeper to bring in Onana, Manchester united begin to look small to other teams to beat.

If you advise Manchester united to change their manager, which advise will you give to Chelsea about their manager because Chelsea manager spend more than Manchester united in signing new players in the summer and Manchester united are still ahead of Chelsea.

Chelsea was able to finish up this game with a 4 - 0, a goal score that I had wished them to have gotten from this match. For Chelsea now, it is not just all about winning or gaining points, it is also about getting more goals and showing more muscles in any match they are featured.

As of the issue of Pochettino, he came into the club since the July of 2023 and like every other clubs, there's a lot of expectations from the guy which is very okay and normal. As a former manager of Tottenham Spurs and PSG, one will only expect greater performance from Pochettino as he advanced to the Blues but since the first of July, his debut match was against Liverpool which ended as a draw.

The first match he won as a coach was With Luton Town which was a 3 over 0 against the latter. Thanks to Raheem Sterling and Jackson who scored the first goal. Since then, Pochettino hasn't consistently been up to the game to remain at least first 3 or first 5 of the table standing.

They are in a rebuilding and transitional phase even they won La Liga in the last season. When the transitional phase has yet completed, it is understandable to see their performances are unstable and sometimes are very terrible.

Xavi generally does his good management job and Barcelona must give him fairer treatment as well as must know that their club actually needs more time to return as a giant in La Liga and Champions League. If they lose patience, treat Xavi bad, sack him, they will put their club into another crisis.

And Xavi is also outspoken and will always burst about his club, Barcelona. He is a coach that is up for the club and a proud former player of the club who have done well during his days at the Barcelona, so I don't think someone like him will allow for the downfall of the club. But he also needs the support of the entire management team at the very top to be able to achieve his goals for the club.

Yesterday, while Xavi was responding to journalists, he requested for the journalists to give 'respect for the reigning champions after his guys struggled to win over Las Palmas in their last challenge. When he was challenged about his ability to retain the championship, he said, "We won at the last moment with a penalty. We have arguments [to win La Liga]. The first is that we are the reigning champions. Respect for the reigning champion".

Girona is far better compared to the barcelona and atletico madrid. Barcelona won with narrow score but the score was good enough caused by it was able winning with good total scores. Anyone who pick barcelona win or total scores would be getting very nice profit from that match. Even though barcelona keeps struggle to beat the garbage club, but i put all of my respects toward barcelona. Despite facing blame from a multitude of fans, the club remains resilient and continues to push forward. I can't even count how many fans are blaming it right now but barcelons still keeps with its consistency to beat other club to be closer to the its competitors which was placing at the first and second positions.
The only reliable prediction if real madrid or girona will become the winner for this season. Atletico madrid and barcelona were still below those clubs but michel has been rumored to leave from girona.
If this true then it's bad for girona.

Girona is still the best in the LA Liga thus far with their level of control, confidence and coordination. At this point, I must give all hails to their ever-present and forward manager Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz. And all the players who have remained very active and steadfast to the effort of taking Girona to the top of the LA Liga titles. The commitment have been a vehemently interesting one.

I like this idea but this scenario have been completely explained and foresighted by one of Nigeria's finest crypto trader after the CBN lift the ban that has been placed on cryptocurrencies couple of weeks ago. He envisaged that CBN will be coming up with a digital coin that is someway similar to the last eNaira invented by the past Buhari's government.

The same thing is what this government is about to champion thereby bringing up a digital currency that can disrupt the very conventional forex trade that have continued to put the dollar currency above other ones as a monopolized system of one universal currency of forex trading. Why can't we use the cNGN as a stablecoin instead of the USDT that we are so much attached and are used to.
