In as much as luck was on Arsenal side they still played like a team who wants to win the English premier league. This is the type of spirit they need, although Luton gave them a run for their money Arsenal handled the storm like a champion. Now the pressure has now shifted back to Manchester city, they need to win to draw the gap between them and Arsenal. From a neutral point of view I would love to see Arsenal win because they have really invested so much in this.
If not even because the gunners have instead so much this season then for the fact they Manchester city have won the league back to back and them winning the league wouldn't be interested anymore as they would make it looks so less competitive just like some league where only one wins everything and everything, and also plus the fact that arsenal deserve the last season trophy but since injury affected their team they felt out of luck and loses their focus and that's why most English premier league fans are all wishing for another team even if not arsenal to win the league.
Majority people are seriously  in support of Arsenal to win the league. Not necessarily Arsenal, but any other club that can be able to outplay Manchester City. Honestly I will not be happy with England football as a whole if Manchester city happens to win this season English premier League again. While I am very confident that another team could win the Premier League title of this year is  because, it is not only Arsenal that is ahead of Manchester city or contesting with them. There is also Liverpool who we all know is a major competitor of Manchester city. And I believe that it is them that can fight this to the end.

Today I read that UEFA is going to let Christiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr to participate in UEFA Champion's League. Does anyone know if that's true? If that's true, then we will be able to see Christiano Ronaldo playing against European teams to win Champions League. I think Al Nassr is a weak team but it will be amazing to be able to see him playing in Europe again. If they let Christiano's Al Nassr to play in Champions League, then they will also let Messi's Inter Miami to play in Champions league too and we will be able to see two GOATs again. I hope this is not a rumor and it's true. Can anyone confirm it?
Why have you come up with this discussion again. Is there any recent news about this development? I read the news some months ago and I think it was discussed extensively here and in the end the matter faded away. Why bringing the matter again.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo's Al Nassr is not a weak team. Do you know the calibre of players in that squad? You can only talk about a week team when you talk about Inter Miami

We are only a week away from the last group games. In Group B the situation is critical for Sevilla. They have been able to collect only 2 points in 5 games. They have to win against Lens if they want to continue with the Europa League at least. However there is a big question there about whether they can really make this happen.
The chances of Sevilla qualifying to the Europa League is slim and I am not confident of that but whatever happens that makes them to qualify to Europa or relegated to Europa, they will automatically become Europa League serious contenders.

In my opinion making cash from gambling is not a good option and the statistical probability that you will win every game at every casino is very low. I think winning or losing every game is completely in your head, so your individual tricks are not there. However, we all have some kind of luck so we should strive for what is possible for us.
Although I have discussed this before and I agreed that gambling is requires more of luck than skills but then I know these set of people that runs to people to get sports bet prediction. The question now is that, those people that run to others for sports bet prediction, do they believe that the person they run to is more skilled than them or more lucky than them? This is the question I want to drop here...
From the answers to this question, we can answer OP better.

Arsenal's goalkeeper and defense might be the reason why Arsenal will lose the Premier League trophy to Manchester City or Liverpool because Luton Town had only 4 shots on goal, and they were able to score three goals against Arsenal last night.
The Hatters proves to everyone, atleast Kenilworth Road stadium is definitely a home for defensive game and thrilled victories. The home was this close to equalizing points with Arsenal but couldn't hold Declan Rice from netting an important goal. Luton Town was completely on different level when it comes to playing Arsenal, everyone got stunt by the incredible performance of Gunners. 4 shots on targets, really? Perhapes Gunners had numerous attempts and they couldn't utilized most of their chances. You spotted an appropriate question that every Arsenal fans should be concern about.
Arsenal have been having thrilling performances since last season and what happens with Arsenal performance is that people and fans will be happy with them but then people are not that confident in Arsenal to be able to fight Guardiola and the Citizens for the trophy. Arsenal could perform wonderfully well but towards the end of the season they will flop their whole beautiful performance. Liverpool will give a better fight.

Arsenal's goalkeeper and defense might be the reason why Arsenal will lose the Premier League trophy to Manchester City or Liverpool because Luton Town had only 4 shots on goal, and they were able to score three goals against Arsenal last night.
The problem of defence and goal keeping is not only for Arsenal if you are to measure it by the number of goals that they concede. Manchester City is conceding high number of goals and likewise Liverpool. It is better to say that English strikers are better now.

Newcastle was definitely better than Manchester United and deserved to get three points out of this game. Ten Hag has to be fired by the new owner of Man United.
Man United showed that their players were lazy not ready to work hard when Rashford got the chance. Just look he was only able to shoot on target once until the second half was over. This is clearly a  disappointment that embarrasses Man United.  Erik Ten Hag is completely unsuitable to lead Man United and he must realize that.
Man United is still doing terrible, if they didn't lose they would be tied to fifth position and now they are at seventh position behind Newcastle, winning this game would have been quite important for them but it didn't happned. They really need to figure out how they could get better, Aston Villa is fourth, do we really think that Man United and Aston Villa are both playing fairly and equally?

Aston Villa has so much lesser amount of money to build a squad with, they barely spend the whole season buying players for a single player that United buys, unequal amounts, and yet United is doing worse, that's basically saying United is underachieving their season so far and needs to do a lot better, they may even be out of European competitions all together soon.
Manchester United's narrow defeat at Newcastle on Saturday has further explained how clueless the club's current manager is at the moment and why he lacks the tactical ability to help the club have a good campaign. I'm still surprised to see that he's yet to be sacked as the club's manager despite his poor performance with the quality players at his disposal. United needs a manager with a better tactical and technical experience than what Erik Ten Hag has been giving them since the start of the season. I don't think he has what it takes to improve the performance of the team and that's why u think he should be relieved of his duties at the Old Trafford club.
It was great to see Everton finally win again after the last time they did it was against Crystal Palace two weeks earlier. Last night's win against Nottingham was also special because they needed points to move out of the relegation zone after being deducted 10 points some time ago.

Against Nottigham in an away game is certainly not easy for Everton but this narrow victory will definitely pump up the enthusiasm of the whole team to get a better finishing place for this season. Despite the problems that Everton have faced, I think they still deserve to be in the EPL until next season and now it's just a matter of how they maintain their current performance in the next match.

In recent times Everton had been at the bottom of the standings, but after a 1-0 victory over Notitngham Forest, at least the victory managed to slightly raise Everton's ranking to 18th position. And this is the third consecutive away win for Everton. And for the next match I am a little pessimistic because in the next match they have to face Newcasstle, which for the time being "The Magpies" are ranked 6th in the standings. and in the previous match The Magpies performed quite well against the red devils yesterday. And whether the Toffes, which is Sean Dyche's club, will be able to fight The Magpies, which is Eddie Howe's club. And will Everton be able to move back up the rankings? We'll see. Because I'm quite curious .. hihi
The score didn't matter a lot for everton. As long as it can gather three points from its opponent and it's already enough for everton. In fact, everton needs to get out from the relegation zone as soon as possible.
The only possible thing to beat the weak team like burnley. Everton is going to have hard fixtures in the upcoming weeks. It will against newcastle then chelsea. I will expect everton to get zero points from those matches but, everton can use golden opportunity to face burnley which was also the weakest club in the EPL. Burnley has been successfully destroying sheffield last days and i see that will become an opportunity for everton to get three points from burnley.
Everton needs only to win the game. It doesn't even matter how many scores to be made in any of everton game. Three points are a must for everton or at least not missing points in any matches.
Good to see Everton back to winning ways again and pick up points in the English Premier League after they were stripped off ten points from their accumulated points for breaching financial rules in the league, a decision they've appealed and are still to get the final verdict from the appeal. Everton are currently occupying the 18th position of the league table and two points behind 17th placed Luton but I think they have the needed quality of players to survive in the league at the end of the season
1606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 04, 2023, 05:41:11 PM
This is not the first match in which Dortmund has acted in this way against a strong opponent, they did something similar in the match against Newcastle. For Dortmund, an away draw is a completely acceptable result, but for Bayer it is a loss of very important points, now Bayern will almost certainly be able to take advantage of these and get ahead of them, although if they win they will be equal on points, but Bayern will have a better goal difference.

If we talk about the theoretical situation, Bayer still have an advantage - firstly, for Bayern to catch up with them, they still have to win the game in hand. Secondly, even if Bayern wins, the teams will have an equal number of points, but the remaining head-to-head game will be on Bayer's field where they can tip the scales in their favor. But these are theoretical considerations, it is clear that Bayern actually remains a very big favorite.

I wish Leverkusen would have won the game as this draw is kind of annoying for both of them. Dortmund couldn't get any closer to the top and to Bayern and Leverkusen couldn't turn their dominant game into important three points. No need to discuss that a win would have been preferable for obvious reasons, but it is true that Leverkusen has the game against Bayern on their home ground. To tie a game against Dortmund is ok and Bayern will have some weaker games, too. But we can already see what's needed to stay level with Bayern. Wins, wins, wins.
Bayern Munich has dominated and won the German Bundesliga title for over the last one decade and are also serious contenders to retain the title once again but Bayer Leverkusen has proved to be a worthy rival to end the dominance of the German Bundesliga champions this season even when it seems too difficult. Many football fans across the globe are backing Bayer Leverkusen to go on and end Bayern Munich's dominance because of how boring they've made the German League look like for the past eleven years.

On Saturday, Bayern Munich's game against Union Berlin was postponed as a result of extreme level of snow that fell at Munich and I expected the league leaders Bayer Leverkusen to win the game against Borussia Dortmund yesterday and extend their lead at the top of the league but Dortmund gave their best in the game and were almost rewarded with a win before Leverkusen scored late in the game to share points with their visitors. There's still more to play in the German Bundesliga this season but I'm still optimistic that Bayern Munich will win the league title at the end of the season.
1607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 04, 2023, 05:31:50 PM
The Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid match will be the best match this week, of course I have been waiting for it for a long time. Barcelona must be able to win the match without reason because with that Barcelona can catch up on the points gap with Girona and Real Madrid. Barcelona must keep their distance from the top of the standings if they don't want to fall too far behind, but I believe Atletico Madrid is a difficult opponent.

So far Barcelona has won 3 of their last 6 matches against Atletico Madrid in La Liga in the last 3 seasons. Atletico Madrid won 2 of 6 matches and 1 of them ended in a draw. Barcelona has a good record in its last 3 matches against Atletico Madrid in La Liga and this is good capital to hope to maintain. After all, Barcelona is playing at home and I think the probability is pretty good to win.
   

First of all, Barcelona are in a good form at the moment despite injury worries and have managed to win two games since the resumption of the laliga and the champions league beating FC Porto 2-1 at the camp Nou, this will go a long way to boost their morale and also set a good precedent for them as they play against arch rivals Athletico Madrid, and playing at home is an added advantage to FC Barcelona, so I think it's gonna be a win for them though I don't expect it to be an easy game for Barca because Athletico Madrid are also in a great form at the moment both in the champions league and in the laliga, so I think it's gonna be another classsico.

Barcelona was able to win against Atletico Madrid by a score of 1–0, I honestly did not think that Barcelona would be able to win the match against Atletico Madrid. I thought Barcelona was most probably going to draw in this match. Considering the current performance of Barcelona, not being so good, I thought, Barcelona might find it very difficult to actually get 3 points from this match. But Barcelona was able to get 3 points and they were also able to keep a clean sheet. I was not absolutely amazed to see the result, not overly surprised as well. But I was surprised a little. Probably if Barcelona can continue performing well, they will still have a chance to win the title and defend it successfully.
Xavi Hernandez yesterday proved that his team is capable of beating any team in the Spanish La Liga no matter how good they seem to be. Barcelona needed Joao Felix first half goal to grab all three points in the game and move within just four points behind first place Real Madrid and second placed Girona. With the recent performances of Barcelona, they've made people who had earlier written them off for the contention for who wins the title will now have a rethink because the reigning Spanish champions have shown they're still capable of retaining the league title this season.

Diego Simeone without doubt will be dissatisfied with the result of the game as his team is now seven points league leaders Real Madrid. Joao Felix goal celebration is causing a lot issues in the Spanish media as many believes that his celebration sends a message of disrespect to his parent club but the Portuguese isn't even concerned as he said after the match that he deliberately celebrated against Atletico Madrid yesterday.
1608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 04, 2023, 05:06:49 PM
Roma, had a come back against Sausuolo. They didn't play in their A form and it was bad because they ought to be a better side regardless of the host advantage their opponent had. They were only able to come back after the penalty was awarded which in a normal sense means that they were pressed down more by Sausuolo. Even in their European game last week, they didn't give their best. Roma before now are known to be far better than they are now. They need to sit up, they're being too sluggish and lazy and it'll cost them a whole lot, their spot on the table and their advancement in the Europa League too.
For Sausuolo, they first were on top of the game but still let Roma win them.
,AS Roma slowly to climb up in Serie A ranking table and despite of bad start in this season and some up and down, they successfully took over the fourth position from Napoli which lost against Inter Milan. There are some challengers for top four or the fourth position so Roma will have to fight hard to maintain  the fourth position which they are holding temporarily.

This winning is lucky for Roma because the second goal from Kristensen is very lucky goal. The player had one assist and one goal and his team won. This match will be one of best matches in his career because it is unregular to see a swing defender like him can have such an excellent match. Stats are like for attacking players, not for defensive players.
Roma started the Italian Serie A season on a bad note and a lot of people were even writing them off to finish the season in the top four of the Italian Serie A table but with their recent results, Jose Mourinho's men are currently in the fourth position of the league table with 24 points and a better goal difference ahead of fifth placed Napoli who has also amassed 24 points for themselves. If they continue with their current performance in the league, there's no doubt that they're gonna finish the season in a good position and still qualify to play in the UEFA Champions League competition next season. Mourinho without doubt enjoys playing in the UEFA Champions League and as a two times winner of Europe's biggest football competition, it'll be a dream come through if his Roma team qualifies to play in the competition next season.
Napoli looks really weak against Inter and it's not normal for them to lose the match.  But losing a match by 3-0 seems very unusual.  If Napoli lost the match it could have been 1-0 or 2-1.  The goal difference between their two teams could have been 1 goal.  I did not expect such a performance from Napoli. With the way Napoli are playing, it is doubtful whether they can overtake Roma and go back to 4th position. Napoli's performance is really disappointing

Napoli don't have a good team balance yet. The change of coach and also the decline in mental optimism experienced by the players could be the reason why they are conceded 3 goals and lose to Inter Milan. Napoli will probably remain in a difficult phase this season or until winter transfer. The reason is, it is not easy for the Napoli coach to improve the condition of a team that has many weaknesses, especially the dependence on certain players at Napoli.
Luciano Spalletti left Napoli last season  after winning the scudetto with a big point difference ahead of the second placed team of last season and I know the club will definitely find it very difficult to perform well without the Italian manager. Rudi Garcia did his best to still keep the club at the top but couldn't succeed before he was eventually sacked three weeks ago. Walter Mazzarri has lost two of his first three games for the club and that I don't think is a good way to start his spell at the club. Their defeat yesterday makes it very difficult for them to retain the Italian Serie A title this season. I think the club should now do their best to finish in the top four of the league at the end of the season

But we also saw that Manchester City can have their problems in a home game against a Tottenham team that was not doing so well recently. That's good news for everyone. I never thought that Tottenham would actually strike back one more time, but that was great effort! It was the first time that I saw how insanely freakish Haaland can be! Cheesy I thought I knew it already, but against Tottenham it was next level, haha! His face and the poor referee!
Haland seem frustrated at some point considering he had missed multiple chances tho have scores a goal from the first half of the game, I even think he envisage an easy game but it turned out the game became tougher than he had expected and it summed up to his frustration hence he gave such reaction with the ref which caused him a yellow card.

Tottenham deserves every form of applaud because not only did they get a draw but they did put up a really good fight against Manchester city in the eithad stadium which happens to be their string hold of victory but the spurs defiled the records in what seemed like their worse form, this is a good signal with the spurs they they are definitely getting back on their feet and a signal for other teams that they can still challenge Manchester city regardless of their might .
I will not express Haaland's mood as frustrations. That is the type of mood that every dedicated player will need to be especially a striker when they did not score. When a striker doesn't get a goal, he needs not relax and not be happy in the game. I call it eagerness and not frustration as per say. If Manchester United attackers have same mindset, they would have been able to be getting goals to their names and hence try to help the club grow in position.

Tottenham deserves every form of applaud because not only did they get a draw but they did put up a really good fight against Manchester city in the eithad stadium which happens to be their string hold of victory but the spurs defiled the records in what seemed like their worse form, this is a good signal with the spurs they they are definitely getting back on their feet and a signal for other teams that they can still challenge Manchester city regardless of their might .
Manchester City are not in form as regarded, they was shocked by the performance pulled by The visitors, they did try their best but couldn't net a goal, instead they settle for a draw tie which is totally what they expected. Perhaps Manchester City will push harder in next match. Tottenham Hotspur coach, Ange Postecoglou deserves his flowers after a draw with Pep Guardiola and his firing squad at Etihad Stadium. We didn't see that coming, the performance of Spurs was top flight level and they're now the pressuring to bounce back to the system.
Manchester City remains the best team in England and they will continue that way atleast till the season finishes. But it is nice to note that the performance of Manchester city however reduced a beat this season. Any good team with high pressure could win Manchester city this year. This is the reason why Chelsea who hasn't been in a great form this season was able to draw Manchester City and likewise Totenham who hasn't been in their top form in the last few weeks were able to draw Manchester City.
1610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: December 04, 2023, 03:39:30 PM
OP, no matter how careful one will be, at some point they will fall the victim of gambling. Gambling shouldn't only be played with care but with some rules that will guide the gambler. In the absence of these rules, one will likely not be able to cope with gambling for a long period of time.
Starting from this big win makes the person think that the world is easy to make money, but that is only the beginning of brainwashing so that big expectations arise again. When you feel the sensation of a big win, will continue to try to get the chance of a repeat big win, but in fact it doesn't. just an inducement to get people to continue making deposits and playing until they ruin their lives.and become addicts because of uncontrolled expectations
They get the sensation of a big win when they first get acquainted with gambling, which makes them return to gambling more often. And they don't realize that it's just a temptation to keep them going back to gambling and has succeeded in making them return. Only continuously trained self-control can prevent them from returning to gambling, but this must also be accompanied by the desire to limit their gambling time and budget. This is done so that they will not experience gambling addiction and can still enjoy gambling as they should.
It is big winnings that is one of the things that lure people to become chronic gamblers. I have argued this with someone and you can understand with me that anyone that keeps losing in gambling will not keep gambling but it is the taste of huge win or the expectation of it that makes people to keep gambling and possibly raising their capital.

In short, we need to set limits. This is the only way we can minimize losses and control our emotions so we are not going deeper into addiction. For some people setting limits is not that easy because of greed.
Not some people but most people, it is difficult to set limits because we are humans and humans by nature are very insatiable and they keep expecting more even when they are not doing better. It needs high level of discipline to be able to be discipline themselves in something that promises to return big money. It is not everyone that has the tendency to do this and that is the reason.

I agree with you, if Manchester united eventually win Bayern probably because bayern use theirs rotational payers knowing how risk free this match is to them and it turns in favour of Manchester united, they will still hope Copenhagen draw against Galatasaray.
Qualification is no longer in the hands of Manchester United, the best they can do is to get their own job done by beating Bayern Munich and hope for a miracle in the other game. Beating Bayern isn't going to be an easy task, i know Bayern have already qualified and they might not play their first team, but any team bayern plays is going to be a strong one, United themselves are in a bad position, they are lacking in confidence, so they might fail to win even if Bayern plays a weaker team.
Qualification to the champions league finals is no longer in the hands of Manchester United. What they really can influence is to be able to qualify for Europa League and for them to do that they really need to beat Bayern Munich which is not so impossible for them to do because Bayern Munich will still remain at the top of the group table whether they win or lose. Infact Bayern Munich has already qualified for another level of the champions league competition this season. This means they might not necessarily fixture all their stars, however Harry Kane must be available.


This will be a difficult match for Manchester United because they will face Bayern Munich, but there is no other choice for Erik Ten Hag but to mobilize his best squad to play optimally and win this important match.
Even though it is impossible, nothing is impossible if Erik Ten Hag can formulate the best strategy and can also place the right players, with the best tactics and also prayers to beat Bayern Munich.
And I'm not saying Manchester United don't perform well, they are just inconsistent with match results but sometimes surprising.
Manchester United will indeed have a hard time innthe match because of the position of their opponent on the group table, Bayern Munich is topping the chat on the group stage level, and for such much of the pressure is on them to deliver on-time results so for sure, Bayern will be aiming to top the group even in the next stage so allowing Manchester United to have any chance, will result in them losing their position possibly and at some point there may be pressure from the man u squad but the truth is that it won't be an impossible mission for Manchester United to win the match but then it must have to do with alot of luck on their side.
When the spirit of Manchester United has not left the club. I mean when they were called the red devils, winning Bayern Munich is not a difficulty task to them. It is just that things have really fallen apart in the Manchester United squad and what Erik Ten Hang need to do is to build with strength and pressure the more. That is the only way out, he started it last season and gave up.

Apart from the rumors circulating about David De Gea possibly heading to the Saudi league, quite surprising news came from Newcastle because they were interested in bringing the former Manchester United goalkeeper to St James Park. I think it is the right decision for Newcastle if they can get David De Gea, who is still a free agent until now and we will see David De Gea return to the EPL with a different club.

Newcastle is trying to take this step because Nick Pope reportedly suffered a dislocated shoulder after the match against Manchester United last week and it is possible that he will be out for up to 4 months. What do you think? Is David De Gea the right goalkeeper for Newcastle?

Source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12822889/Newcastle-consider-shock-David-Gea-Man-Uniteds-former-goalkeeper-option-replace-injured-Nick-Pope-four-months-hell-wage-cut.html

If this news is true then i will fully support it. De gea was not older enough as a goal keeper. He was better compared with onana. Newcastle will able to recruit him since de gea will be also staying in europe. It will be very interesting thing to see him back again in the EPL as a newcastle goal keeper. As long as newcastle will offer him good salary and i think that de gea will be going there. I hope it will be true.

Newcastle needs a good and experienced goal keeper right now. Glad howe has been seeing him as one of good solution to fix the current problem faced by newcastle. I hope there will be further development from this news.
Im hoping so much for de gea will able to play in the EPL again. Having him in the competition is good. Newcastle is not wrongly choosing the candidate.

Newcastle fans are also feeling so happy with this.
First phase:
Does Newcastle United really need another goal keeper. Maybe yes with the rumour of Pope injury. For Manchester United I think they need a backup goalie because Onana will go for African Nations cup. So, even if Newcastle needs another goal keeper, I think Manchester United also needs a good goalie to help Onana that is under duress

The question of whether Onana or De Gea is always in mind whenever there is rumour of De Gea because I have seen Manchester United linked to De Gea and the problem was the wage. To be sincere the level of wage that De Gea was requesting was high for his age. If he wants such a few, SPL will be the best place to go.

Manchester United needs to carry out a revolution within the club, there must be changes in the future if they don't want to be labeled as a mediocre club. If it is necessary to release the coach and several players then it must be done immediately, before it is too late.
For me, revolutionizing the club won't change things if the owners aren't ready to change their behavior. It would just be like walking in circles. Man UTD during the days of Rooney and the rest was a very formidable side and if hear your team is paired against them, you'd get shivers but now, it's not the case. They're really living in the shadows of past glory. I heard there's a line up of potential coaches that would seem a better replacement for Erik ten Hag and honestly I dunno if those coaches will fancy a job at Old Trafford.
Manchester United has been making so many wrong transfers for so many years that this is the point where the team has finally reached, on the contrary, Newcastle, who caught the right plan and player community, wiped Manchester off the field and became a very enjoyable team to watch. Newcastle deserve respect, they have a great structure and the right player investments are terrific. 5. teams from England will probably go to the CL this season. If we say that City Liverpool Arsenal's place is guaranteed, Newcastle is one of the biggest candidates to be one of the 2 teams behind them. Moreover, even 7th place will be enough for the Europa League. Manchester United needs a change, look at the state they are in, they don't have a decent attack.
Manchester United does not only need revolution but they need so many things to restore the club to the standard they used to be before now. Manchester United is among the biggest clubs in England but their performance from like 5 seasons ago has proven how weak and inconsistent Manchester United has been.

The problem of Manchester United is originating from the management. If Manchester United wants things to change in the club, they will first need to either change the management or change the orientation of the management. The Manchester United management no longer has the inclination to winning trophy so also their players. The likes of Rashford has been a bit lazy since this season and the individual laziness attributes to the poor performance.

PSG had an early card yesterday but its really interesting how they were able to still win amidst a man down, but then they were playing from away so the advantage was supposed to be on the side of their opponent together with the card they had already but it turned out their opponent seemed weaker.

PSG were able to maintain a strong frame regard less and was able to put up a performance they earned them a win at the end of the day, they won by two goals and are currently at the top of the table by 33 points staying ahead of Nice by four points. Nice may likely have no further chance to get to the top of the table and I hope PSG will be able to maintain their spot long enough to probably end the season with the league title.
Like I've always maintained since the start of the season that Paris Saint Germaine possess the strongest quality players of in the French Ligue 1, yesterday's results against Le Havre further backs my opinion. Paris Saint Germaine goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was shown the red card in the 10t minute of the game after he misjudged the movement of the ball and kicked Le Havre player when the scoreline of the game was still 0:0 but that didn't Luis Enrique's men from going on to score two unreplied goals to grab all three points from the game and extend their lead at the top of the table to four points.

PSG started the season on a bad note as they lost points in games they were expected to win and that I think was as result of the the manager's inexperience about the French Ligue 1 but since he initiated his current playing pattern that's bringing out the best from his players, Paris Saint Germaine has been winning their matches and are on course to retain the French Ligue 1 title once again.

It looks like Arsenal must be willing to let go of their target, namely Dusan Vlahovic, because he wants to stay at Juventus. As we know, Dusan Vlahovic is often rumored to be with big teams including Arsenal and it seems he also feels comfortable being at Juventus. His role is very important as one of La Vechia Signora's key players and that is why he wants to continue to contribute with the goals he scores with Juventus. Moreover, Juventus currently needs a striker like him and it will be difficult to find a replacement if he leaves. Juventus should be more grateful because they have one of the great strikers in their squad and with this they will still focus on winning the Scudetto this season and don't need to worry about offers from other clubs for Dusan Vlahovic.
Dusan Vlahovic is still loyal to his Old Ladies he doesn't want to consider joining another team, even though if Dusan Vlahovic can join the elite club Arsenal, Dusan Vlahovic can develop there and maybe become famous in the EPL, but what can be said, maybe Dusan Vlahovic still wants to make his contribution for Juventus and the Juventus management itself still wants to keep this player Dusan Vlahovic is the young striker that Juventus currently has and its mainstay player, so Juventus still wants to invest in Dusan Vlahovic, perhaps for quite a long times.
Juventus wants him out. It's not dusan who is wanna leaving from the club but let's take a look at the fact. I think that juventus will still try to offer him again for the winter transfer season. Dusan's performance is not that good with juventus right now. Allegri seems try to exchange him with a better striker but i don'w know who. We have seen how juventus was offering him for chelsea but i think that dusan will not be staying much longer in the juventus.
He must have left from old lady soon. Old lady has been linked to the some strikers. I hope that juventus will able to get a striker with good instinct like guirassy from stuttgart.
It will be so good for juventus to have a new striker to come soon.
It seems like Dusan Vlahovic isn't the kind of striker that Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri wants for his team and not because he's not good enough to play for the club because I don't think scoring nine goals for his team at a this time if the season is a bad performance for 23 year old striker. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is very good in managing young talents and I think he'll succeed at the Emirates if Arsenal happens to sign him in the winter transfer window. The player seem to be very happy at Juventus but reports has it that the club wants to sell him anytime soon and I think Arsenal will be a very good destination for Serbian striker.

The current Arsenal team who has Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus as their top strikers are doing exceptionally well but because of future injuries and fatique, it wouldn't be a bad idea to sign another sharp striker since they're competing in both the domestic competitions as well as in the European Cup

The spurs really got is some surprise package yesterday because it was actually looking like this city boys has got totally control already and are going to win by the end of the match, althrough the first half, the city boys had more chances for goal which they did missed.

But it turned out that by the end of the match the the spurs were able to secure a point from the city boys. I must commend the spurs because they did had an incident that could have possibly caused their morales to be low but the fought back hard regardless and it did turned out the got a fair results, they have successfully maintained this fift position while denying city the opportunity to have gotten to the top even at their home.
Well in general Manchester City should have won this match, but Haaland screwed up a couple of 100% chances, although usually he realizes them 100%, besides at the end the referee stopped the exit almost one-on-one, so in general Tottenham still a little bit lucky. Nevertheless, we must give credit to Tottenham players they fought to the end and considering three(!) defeats in a row before, they managed to take one point from the strongest team in the EPL, which should give Tottenham players confidence and slightly improve the tournament situation, especially considering that Aston Villa failed to take 3 points.
I admit that Man City chances of winning yesterday were very big, but what disappointed me was that for some reason, in the second half, Man City was under continuous pressure from Spurs attacking players and there was only a slight margin in possession of the ball.
even though previously they were 3 points ahead and Spurs were only 2 and that when I hoped that at least Mam City defense would be strengthened but it seemed like they would lose concentration and conceded 1 more score by Kulusevski.

I also admit that Spurs performance was good enough yesterday to be able to hold a draw against the big teams in the EPL and I am worried that Spurs will return to their strong performance as before and endanger Man City position which is currently just below Liverpool and Arsenal.
One mistake I think a lot of us are making is we are still rating Manchester City this season based on their performance of last season and that's why a lot of people lost their stakes yesterday as they had predicted a Manchester City win even when it's visible that they're not as effective as they were last season. If all the traditional big teams in England that Manchester City have face this season before their game against Tottenham Hotspur yesterday which includes Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea they were able to defeat on Manchester United while drawing with Liverpool and Chelsea aw well as losing to Arsenal. The same fixtures last season had different results as they picked more points from the same fixtures last season.

Pep Guardiola's without doubt are still strong contenders for the league title this season but having drawn their last three English Premier League games, they'll have to improve in their performance to still stand a chance to win the league title.

You remember correctly. Being second in the UEL means facing the third-place teams from the UCL. That's why first place is much more important in UEL than second place. There are very strong teams from UCL that will join the UEL and the championship chances of these teams are quite high. That's why UEL is getting more exciting at this stage.
Yes very well said, and this is why teams like Liverpool and Leverkusen are making sure to get pass the group stage in the first position so they will aswell not have a difficult time at the round of sixteen giving them an edge at the semi finals and quarter finals respectively.

The Europa league at this point will be getting more interesting and though, personally the fun I'm getting from the europa is more interesting than that which I get from other leagues, the UCL team are really going to prove tough against the teams they will facing in the Europa because they will be hoping to get something out of the Europa since they couldn't make it thorough the UCL so most of the Europa teams may end their journey at that point.
Teams that finish second the group stages of the UEFA Europa League competition do face first teams that qualifed to the knockout stages of the competition after finishing third in their respective groups in the UEFA Champions League and that's why big teams in the Europa League are doing everything possible to avoid a second place finish as it'll help them meet lesser quality teams in the round of 32 of the competition. Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen who are regarded as the best teams in the competition this season are currently at the top of their respective groups and have already cemented their places as the group winners of their respective groups as well.

The group stages of the UEFA Europa League competition is almost over as we have just one match week left in the group stage before the start knockout stages of the competition which will kickoff in February next year. The knockout stages of the competition is undoubtedly the most interesting stage of the competition and I can't wait to see the third placed teams in the UEFA Champions League competition join the Europa League

I was sure that Inter Milan would win. They have no choice but to win to keep the top spot in the points table. Defeat would see them lose the top spot. But since Napoli had a home match. I thought Napoli would put up a tough fight against Inter Milan. But we have not seen that. Inter Milan players have dominated the away match as well. Napoli attacked a lot in this match. But they could not score any goals. And they conceded three goals due to playing a full attacking strategy. Napoli's defense has been weak this season. And this is why they are not able to top the points table. Now Napoli's position is fifth in the points table.
Inter Milan barely has any weaknesses this season. I don't know what I would mention as a weakness if someone asked me to. They were usually a team that didn't score as much, but now they are scoring nonstop, which is no surprise as they also scored the most goals in Serie A. Do they have any weaknesses in their defense? You could argue they shouldn't have conceded three goals in such a short time in the last Champions League game, but if you then see what their response was, I can't name that as a weakness either. 0-3 against Napoli playing away from home is serious.

I agree with you. I also do not find any weakness in Inter Milan's performance. Inter Milan's defense is very strong. The team conceded only 7 goals in 14 matches in Serie A. Inter Milan currently have the strongest defense in Serie A. At the same time, their attacking players are also able to score a lot of goals. Inter Milan scored 33 goals in 14 matches. Martinez scored 13 goals in 14 matches. Inter Milan players are in a good rhythm. And if they want to win the title, the Inter Milan team will have to continue their performance. Because Juventus is only 2 points ahead of Inter Milan.
Napoli's disappointing performance since the start if the season continued as they were humiliated by Italian Serie A leaders Inter Milan at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. I knew for a fact that playing against an inform Inter Milan would never be ab easy task for the reigning champions but little do I know that the result will be this humiliating. The new manager of Napoli Walter Mazzarri for I know would be very disappointed with his team's performance yesterday as the defeat now puts them eleven points behind the top of the league club Inter Milan as well as making their quest to retain the scudetto at the end of the season an almost impossible task.

Simone Inzaghi's Inter Milan are currently on an impressive run and the most interesting about thing about their performance this season is the fact that they're doing exceptionally well in the league as well as in the UEFA Champions League competition. They've already progressed to the knockout stages of the competition but a home win in their last group game of the competition against Spanish club Real Sociedad will seal their place as the winners of the group D

Tomorrow there is the Besikitas game against Ankaragucu, after the humiliating defeat that Besikitas suffered in the European competitions, I hope they have recovered mentally if they want to win, because their opponent is not a very weak team, so I see it being a difficult game for the besikitas. while tomorrow Fenerbahce will also play, another team that suffered a humiliating defeat in European competitions and will play against an opponent who is also not very weak and taking that into account, I think that this game could cause Fenerbahce to lose points. We'll see how Besikitas and Fenerbahce will do in tomorrow's games

Beşiktaş look very ineffective against Ankaragücü. Ankaragücü are currently 1-0 up in the ongoing match but they could have doubled their lead in the first half. They had some very clear goal scoring positions. On the other hand, Beşiktaş seem to be mentally down. They didn't have any dangerous attacks against Ankaragücü. They had more possession. But they couldn't find clear goal positions against Ankaragücü. I especially found Aboubakar and Muleka ineffective due to their performances in this match. Maybe Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Cenk Tosun can come into the game instead of them in the remaining parts of the match.

Besiktas needed a 74th minute goal from former Arsenal and Liverpool player Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to force the home side Ankaragücü to a 1:1 draw Eryaman stadium yesterday. Besiktas hasn't been inconsistent this season and after playing just 14 league games this season, they're already eleven points behind Turkish Super Lig leaders Galatasaray which I think has ruled them out to contend for the league title. With their performance this season, it's obvious that the fight for who wins the Turkish Super Lig title this season will be between league leaders Galatasaray and second placed Fenerbahce who are just four points behind Galatasaray while having an outstanding game that'll be played later today against Sivasspor.
Galatasaray won easily tonight, their opponents were weak.
Pendikspor is not a team of this league.
Hakim Ziyech scored a beautiful goal again. The race for the leadership continues.

Fenerbahçe will play Sivasspor on Monday, they might lose points.
Galatasaray yesterday convincingly won their game against Pendikspor to further extend their lead to four points pending the result of the between Fenerbahce verses Sivasspor later today. The reigning Turkish Super Lig champions have the most consistent team in the league as they're trying to make sure they retain the league title at the end if the season. Galatasaray also have a big game in the UEFA Champions League competition away at Copenhagen next week and must win that game to progress to the knockout stages of Europe's biggest competition.

I know there will be no more opportunities to get a ticket to continue for MU. But Ten Hag teachers and students need to be determined to win, even if they are eliminated. Because, after all, it is an honorable victory for their fans. With this victory, Ten Hag may continue to retain his coaching position. They have played exceptionally poorly this season. There is no more reason for them to justify their mistakes. A victory against the mighty Bayern would replace their explanation.

I don't know if Marcus Rashford will play in this match. Rashford was sent off in Man United's recent defeat to Copenhagen for fouling Elias Jerert. Hopefully, he will be present in this match because he is MU's central striker.
For fans, even though Manchester United will win over Bayern Munchen at Old Trafford, this victory can be interpreted as a form of revenge, from this context they will definitely be happy. However, it won't make reality any better if Copenhagen versus Galatasaray beat each other and don't draw. To be honest, in simple terms, if United failed to qualify for the round of 16, fans would be very disappointed. Apart from that, for Ten Hag there may be a performance evaluation from club officials in the future, currently I am not sure he can last much longer in the capacity of head coach at Old Trafford.

Personally, I hope that Rashford will be kept by Ten Hag, I saw that his game in the match versus Newcastle yesterday in the EPL was very far from standard. His movements seemed invisible, and many even criticized Ten Hag policy of taking his place too late in the match. Ten Hag must determine his starting XI wisely, if he doesn't want to be beaten a second time by Bayern.
Wether Manchester United will be playing to their full strength in other to win again Bayern Munich as a revenge for losing at the home of the German club in September or trying to win in other to progress to the knockout stages of this season's UEFA Champions League competition, it doesn't change the fact that the possibility of reaching the round of 16 is mathematically not in their own hands as a win by any of the sides between Copenhagen and Galatasaray will send the Old Trafford club crashing out of this season's UCL competition.

Bayern Munich is undoubtedly the strongest team in the group A and the only team in the group that's yet to lose a match in the competition and I don't even expect them to lose against Manchester United and that's why I think it's almost impossible to see Manchester United progress to the next round as they'll be needing a win against Bayern Munich and a draw in the game between Copenhagen and Galatasaray to make it to the next round of the competition. United fans already aren't happy with the club's manager Erik Ten Hag because of his poor performance with the team this season both in Europe and in domestic competitions and I'll be surprised to see him remain at the club till the end of the season.
