The most important thing is that currently the two representative clubs from the Premier League are trying hard to win the title they want to achieve and Liverpool will continue to try in the european league and Arsenal will work hard in the Champions League.
This season both teams are showing consistent performance and they are playing some matches very well. Liverpool made several mistakes last season so they had to play in the UEFA Europa League. But this season Liverpool recovered very quickly and it has been proven that they are one of the contenders for the title in the Premier League. So I think both of them are capable of appearing competitive.

But if we talk about the chance of winning, I think Liverpool in the UEFA European League has a very big chance of becoming champion. As you have said, Liverpool is one of the best teams in the world with a series of EPL and Champions League titles that they have won. Meanwhile, I think Arsenal will have many challenges to lift the Champions League trophy because of course they are at the top level in Europe.
Arsenal and Liverpool has been very impressive since the start of the season both in the English domestic as well as in the their respective European competition and I have no doubt that the two English teams are gonna have a good campaign in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Champions League competitions. That being said, i think Liverpool stands a better chance of winning the Europa League trophy than Arsenal stands to win the Champions League title and that's because Liverpool in my own opinion has been one of the strongest teams so far in the Europa League this season as well as one of bookmakers
favourites to win the competition while Arsenal doesn't fall in the top three of the teams have high probability of winning the European Cup this season according to bookmakers.
I feel that West Ham will also be successful in winning this match and of course they will clearly progress with ease without needing to compete again for safe position later if team from the UCL enters.
West Ham in the Premier League is not very good and the Europa League is their only chance to perform well.
And it is true that home advantage can really influence West Ham game to be able to beat Freiburg, but I would still say this is pretty fierce match.
I also think that the match between West Ham vs Freiburg will be quite fierce next week because it is not just about which team is the host. But it is also about which team will be the champion in group A because these two teams are certain to qualify for the next round so they will only try to become champions in that group. Moreover, currently the two teams also have the same number of points after the five matches they have played in the Europa League group.

This match is very important for both the teams. Both teams have won 3 out of 5 matches. They are on the points table with equal points. Either way they have to win the next match. Players from both teams will fight hard for victory. I have also seen quite consistent performances from West and Freiburg players in the last few matches. When the players are confident it is easier to win the match. This match is likely to be very competitive. It is very difficult to predict which team will win. For this reason, I will not bet on this match.
West Ham surprisingly has been one if the best teams in the UEFA Europa League competition this season as their 0:1 win at Serbian club Backa Topola ensured their place in the knockout stages of the competition. Their last game of the group stage is a home game against German club Freiburg which is definitely gonna be a very difficult game for the two sides who care currently on the same number of 12 group stage points and I think that David Moyes' side are gonna win that game to seal their place as the winners of the group A.

Yes, even though Girona has performed well so far, they won't be able to compete for long at the top of the standings, let alone having to overtake Real Madrid. I predict that Girona will only be able to survive until half of the season, but when other teams make changes in the next transfer window, they will accept a more serious challenge.
I even predict that Girona will continue to try to continue to appear competitive in La Liga this season and there is a possibility for Girona to make things difficult for Barcelona this weekend. Because the two of them will meet at Barcelona's home ground and I think the match will be quite interesting considering that the positions of these two teams are very close in the La Liga standings. So I don't think that they will change more quickly even though there are many teams buying new players in the transfer market later.
Girona for a fact doesn't match up with other Spanish La Liga top teams in terms of quality of players but how they've managed to play like a team since the start of the season I think is enough to convince anyone that thinks that they are not serious league title contenders to have a rethink. The first half of the season is almost gone and Girona has been able to accumulate the same number of points like Real Madrid and are joint top of the league with the Spanish giants so I don't see any reason why someone should think that will eventually decline in form as the season goes by. The manager of the club Miguel has been able to introduce the perfect tactical approach into the team since the start of the season and you don't expect him to suddenly lose his tactical experience or see his players underperforming.

Girona might not be able to win the Spanish La Liga title this season season but baring injuries to the club's first team players, I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop them from finishing the season in top four of the league and qualify for to play in the UEFA Champions League competition next season.

I wrote yesterday that Villa is not an easy opponent for Man City and now Villa are in third place in the standings... I thought that City would score, but Villa won with a minimum of one goal... It was a good match... Today it will be interesting to watch the game Spurs vs Hammers...
Judging from the statistics of Manchester City's match last night it was very different, they seemed to have lost their real game, maybe there were several factors, firstly they lost Kevin de Bruyne and secondly Rodri also didn't play because of card accumulation, this really made the game worse. Manchester City is declining, but behind Manchester City's defeat it is also proven that Aston Villa is currently really a team that the big six teams really need to be wary of.

It's been very long I watched a Manchester City side that plays football with less creativity like the Manchester City team that lost at Aston Villa last night. They played like a struggling average team with players that aren't capable creating chances and it made me begin to wonder about what was wrong with them because that's not how a typical Pep Guardiola's team plays. Jack Freakish didn't feature in the game because he picked his fifth yellow card of the season in their game against Tottenham Hotspur during the weekend and so was Rodrigo. Jeremy Doku's was unfit as well after he picked a knock in their last game and that's why Pep Guardiola played two natural  defenders in the persons of John Stones and Manuel Akanji in the midfield position but unfortunately for him, his tactical approach didn't favour him last night as Leon Bailey's deflected shot was all Aston Villa needed to grab all three points from that game.

I think Kelvin De Bruyne's absence since he picked injury in at the start of the season has been the major reason why Manchester City aren't as effective as they were last season and now that the winter transfer window is almost here, Manchester City might consider signing another creative midfielder
1704  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! on: December 07, 2023, 09:03:09 AM
Does any of feel behavioral change in you based on the win/loss in gambling. Myself had experienced it, and personally I used to be happy and I used to be polite with my family members and kid whenever I am on profit. On the day of losing it changes exactly in the opposite way, even for simple things I get much anger. Particularly while giving food to kid patience is must. On winning days I let him take his own time and eat. On the losing days I used to shout at him. I'm addicted, and I want fellow gamblers to make a self analysis at regular interval and be on the safer side.


There's no doubt to the fact that a gambler's gambling result is a big factor that determines his behavior at a given period of time and that's why gamblers are advised to always keep their behaviors in check at every given time especially during gambling moments. Most gamblers automatically becomes too toxic to stay close to whenever they're losing in gambling, the reason behind that I think is because of the pains that comes with losing money and this same gamblers exhibit their cool and accommodating life whenever they're making profits. It's absolutely unwise for a gambler to allow his gambling activities to determine how he feels because in some occasions, he might lose his close friends or good relationship with family members because of their reactions during their loss moments in gambling.

If I'm to advice a gambler about how to manage behavioral changes, I'll tell him to temporary avoid any engagement with friends and family immediately after losing in gambling so he doesn't end up having issues with them that he'll later regret
1705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 06, 2023, 11:06:27 PM
-snip-
~~~

Recently, Atalanta has had tough opponents every week and in the next match they will face AC Milan again. Well, if they are really unable to return to winning ways, it could be that their position in the standings table will easily be shifted by another team. I think Gasperini must be able to change formation tactics in order to support the performance of his players, even Lookman also experienced a significant decline in performance so it would have quite a bad impact if he couldn't get up to contribute to scoring goals.
Agree, in the next match Gasperini has to change his formation, he also must to have the right tactics considering that his opponent is also Milan which are is a top team. Gasperini last 3-4-2-1 formation was also not very good because they could be beaten very bad, usually he use a 3-4-1-2 formation against top teams, but in the last few of matches it has also disappointing. So yes, changing formations and tactics during the match is the main thing for Atalanta right now, it's a tough job surely but to get back to winning track this must be thought immediately.

This week i opt for this bet, just Inter (because can win easy with Udinese) and my beloved Juventus, can win versus Napoli.
  • Inter Milan - Udinese i will bet on Inter Milan
  • Juventus - Napoli i will bet on Juventus

My 3 euros on this bet.
Maybe the total odds for the two matches are around @3, if combined into one bet (I mean multibet/parlay). And with 3 euros, then you can win 9 euros.
Inter will be the favourites team, so I don't think there's a problem if I also pick them in my betting plan. Meanwhile, Juventus, who will play at home, will probably be very capable of winning against Napoli. Because in their last five matches Juventus performance has also good, and very different with Napoli performance in their last five matches. But for betting, maybe I will pick another option, on both teams to score could be a good option for me.
The Inter Milan game against Udinese as far as I'm concerned is gonna be a easy win for Milan club and that's because of how good of a side they've been all season and also the quality of players they'll be facing when the meet Udinese.  Juventus play against Napoli at the Allianz on Friday night and considering the current performance of the both teams in the Italian Serie A, I'll be very surprised to see the away team get a good result in that game. Juventus are seriously fighting for the league title this season after missing out to claim it in the past three seasons and would definitely play to their full strength in that game .
I know how important it is for every team to have 11 players intact and here Sassuolo lost one of their players which caused their defense to become weaker. I don't deny that Roma's victory was lucky and if Sassuolo appeared with eleven players then it would end in disaster for Roma. The highest possible outcome of this match is a draw and losing seems impossible but I appreciate your opinion.

I doubt Roma would have been able to win against Sassoulo if Sassoulo had not gotten that red card. They might have gotten a draw but to win would have been so difficult. See how difficult it was for Roma to even equalize despite having an advantage of one extra man. They even needed a penalty to equalize.
Roman has a problem with scoring goals and when they meet a team that is disciplined at the back, it is difficult for them to break through.

Against Fiorentina will be another challenge for Roma and indeed Jose Mourinho's team is not completely stable and often has difficulty scoring goals. I will slightly favor Fiorentina to win but the possibility of a draw is still open. So I'm still thinking about the right option to place a bet on this match later considering the odds are so big.

It's a 50/50 match, but what's funny is that those kinds of games hardly end in a draw. Most times there's a winner. A lot of goals might not be scored because Roma is good defensively and Fiorentina won't let Roma score many goals.
If I had to pick ill pick Fiorentina to win.
Roma of a truth won their game last weekend to move to the fourth position in the league and that I think is a very commendable effort by the Jose Mourinho men who are trying to finish the season in the top for of the league. Playing against Fiorentina in my own opinion will be a very difficult match for the both teams but I expect Roma to either win the game at at worst share points with Fiorentina

I never doubted the capability of Unai Emery's Aston Villa but I least expected them to beat the Citizens.. and to think that they literally called all the shots to the point that Man City lost control of what they were doing and were forced to defend.
I said it one of my posts that if Man City could find it difficult to beat a club that's struggling like Tottenham Hotspur and instead settled for a draw, what will be the case for Aston Villa who are very fit and this is the result.
 Again, this game has proven that Haaland is not a big game player else we should have seen his impact on the field! I still don't understand why Jeremy Doku didn't play because we've known the Belgian to be a good creator of goals and also tried to get some for himself too.
I really need to commend Aston Villa confidence and resilience because playing a team like Man City should make any team nervous but they made quick work of Pep's men, making them look like untried school boys.
 This win has seen them move above Man City to sit third on the table behind Liverpool and Arsenal and I must say the league has just got more competitive.
For the first time in Unai Emery's career, his team has successfully beaten a team that's coached by Pep Guardiola and his reaction after the final whistle further explains how happy he is for beating the Spaniard. Aston Villa played with a better determination and resilience tonight and I'm happy they were rewarded with a very vital win that ensured they took all three points from that game to overtake Manchester City in the English Premier League table as the Villans now occupy the third position of the league standings

I've said it in several occasions on this thread that Pep Guardiola's Manchester City isn't as effective and impressive as they were last season. They don't even look like the team that triumphed both in two domestic competitions as well as in Europe last season. Pep Guardiola serious need to work on his team and come up with a new playing style that'll bring out the best from the players once more.  Erling Haaland once again failed to score today in a game that many had predicted that he'll surely find the back of the net. The Norwegian doesn't have all the qualities of a good striker if you ask me. His footwork is one of the weakest among English Premier League strikers and he rarely falls back deep to take ball and play it to their opponent's 18 yard box. Erling Haaland is a sharp striker that knows how to position in games but he need to improve his footwork in other to be able to deliver in games that his team are finding difficult to break.

The Manchester United has a good formation tonight and I love the idea that Rashford was kept on bench. I think he made a big decision in tonight game and on the first 5mins, Manchester United is making brilliant attacks and I feel they can maintain the momentum

I think today match Chelsea and Manchester United is the most interested match, the place I'm now to watch the match  lot of arguments has being going on that Chelsea will lose the match against Manchester United and many others have being saying that the match will be draw, so I don't know your predictions concerning this two matches because the match is about to kickoff and many people is still contemplating that Manchester United is going to defeat Chelsea so on your observation what do you think that will be Chelsea deficiency that will make Manchester to defeat them, or what do you think that will make Chelsea to them, so what is the fault you notice in Chelsea or Manchester, or do you think is going to be draw.
The match between Manchester United and Chelsea is always interesting. And another remarkable thing is that some young boys know how to make fame through Manchester United and Chelsea. It is Manchester United and Chelsea FC match that gave Rashford the timeline popularity he had while growing up.

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.
1709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: December 06, 2023, 12:32:19 PM
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

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.

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.

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.

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.
