Yes, I admit that since Unai Emery coached this team, Aston Villa has improved. Last season Aston Villa finished in 7th placed and this season it look like Aston Villa will finished in the top 5 if Aston Villa mentality does not decline, but sometime Aston Villa consistency is a little doubtful thats he can beat Manchester City and Arsenal but they were beaten by Manchester United who played badly this season, maybe this is a new job for Emery to improved Aston Villa consistency. So that the club he handles does not falter in the second half of this season so that next season they can get Champions League tickets.

I think Aston Villa performed very well this season. Even though they surprisingly lost to Manchester United, I think it's normal for a team that doesn't have good enough reserve players to be able to perform consistently in every match. I think Unai Emery is able to rotate players well so that they can perform extraordinary this season. Because I think no one predicted that Aston Villa would be able to appear impressive in the league this season. So I think they will get 1 slot in the champions league next season.

Liverpool, Milan, Roma, Galatasaray, Braga and Benfica are the teams that come to my mind with a possibility of championship. These teams will try hard to get to the finals. Liverpool will be the first team in the final, barring any unlucky events. If there are no draw problems, the other team could be Milan. This year there is a European league full of strong teams. Of course, we should not forget Bayer Leverkusen. They are also championship candidates.

Leverkusen performed very well in the League. They have never been defeated. I think their extraordinary achievements are an indicator that they will be strong contenders for the title with Liverpool. Sometimes I think Leverkusen is stronger even though I know the results in the league cannot be used as a reference because every domestic championship certainly has a different level. And we all know the Premier League is the most competitive league in the world today.

Indeed, until today the unbeaten record is still owned by Leverkusen. But with the condition of the difference in points not much I think there will still be many opportunities for Bayern Munich. There will still be many matches and surprises. In addition, the transfer season will change a lot of circumstances and strength. I admire Leverkusen but I'm not sure they can win. I think this will last until the end of the season. The championship will probably be decided by the end of the season.

That is very possible to happen. Even though Leverkusen are still unbeaten, I doubt they will be able to consistently maintain their performance until the end of the season? Xabi is an extraordinary coach who is able to make Leverkusen a strong team but the problem is that Munich has everything to win the league. Especially in the transfer market, if they can bring in some strong enough players then I think this competition will be determined in the last few games at the end of the season.

Revel is not a strong club, its name has never been heard of by football fans before. The big victory over Revel does not mean anything for PSG, the strength of the club led by Luis Enrique has not been able to be matched by clubs playing in the Ligue 1 caste, let alone a club like Revel that has never been heard of before. In Ligue 1 PSG is the king, no club has been able to stop it from winning the Ligue 1 title for the last few years, PSG will also dominate the Coupe de France with all its advantages. What PSG has just achieved is not very impressive for anyone, this victory is very natural for PSG because Revel is a very weak team.

I agree with what you said. No one had ever heard of Revel, except maybe the French. So it's not surprising if they were able to win that match. I think it would be surprising if they lost or won 1-0 against Revel. However, I still appreciate what PSG did because getting a big win means that PSG still has a squad that is strong enough to be able to dominate the league. I'm confused why they didn't field a second tier player against Revel?
225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 08, 2024, 04:27:45 PM
I agree about Napoli's condition. There is really no way they are getting back into the title competition from here. They must be wishing they didn't lose so many points at the beginning of the season. They just can't find the right manager for themselves after Spalletti parted ways with them. This is their main problem why they can't play like the previous season.

Mazzarri also doesn't look like the right manager for now as long as he doesn't surprise us in the coming days. I wouldn't be surprised if he also gets sacked at the end of the season at worst. It would still be nice at least if Mazzarri manages to carry the team into top four but we will see.

Napoli's performance was truly disappointing. They lost 3 times, drew once and only won once from the last five matches. Currently they are ranked 9th in the league. This is a really bad result for the defending champions. I think they will have no chance of qualifying for the champions league next season. They are also 4 points behind Bologna in fifth place in the standings and I think it will also be difficult for them to qualify for the European league next season. I think those who bet that Napoli will win the title this season should give up their money to the bookie.

Real Madrid are big guns in Europe and they’re also great and top when it comes to their league. It’s quite surprising how they’ve managed to still remain top and unbeaten without having a striker. It shows how good Ancelloti is in managing this boys, he really helped in bringing out their best this currently and currently they're performing beyond expectations,  Madrid would go far in all competitions this season.

 That’s a quality of a good team headed by a quality coach and that makes them a threat both in Europe and in the Spanish League. Don Carlo knows how best to rotate this team and get the best from all the players. For their Spanish Super Cup on Wednesday, I’ll be giving Real Madrid the upper hands against City Rivals, Athletico Madrid. Because ReAl is better in almost everything and Althletico isn’t really much of a match to them.

I looked at the line-up against and I was really surprised by the players Ancelotti chose for that match. This means that they don't field several goal-scoring players but they are able to win the match. Arandina is not a top club but I think Don Carlo is quite smart in setting strategy and rotating players. But still without a pure striker but being able to dominate the league really makes me appreciate what Ancelotti is doing. Although I have doubts about the Champions League because we know that the level of matches there is much more competitive.

I disagree! No coach in the world can magically change any team within a short period of time. Saying that there is no doubt is probably because it is unlikely anyway that they don't qualify and I would now have no doubt either no matter who the coach is as so many teams do qualify from the CONMEBOL area. But Ancelotti could have changed a few things for the better for sure, but he made a well considered choice. I think it is no coincidence that he decided against coaching Brazil as he can see with his own eyes what is going on. He has no reason to leave a top team like Real Madrid to coach a weak team like Brazil. Brazil is really far from what they are usually able to play.

It seems that this time I agree with you about naming Brazil as a weak team. Brazil today is really very different from the Brazil we know. I can say that they will no longer be favored in the 2026 world cup. Now we look at the Brazilian squad list, are there any players we know? Is there a player who is a star player at his club? I do not think so. It is very sad when looking at Brazil today because I enjoyed my childhood with the samba dance of the players.

Theoretically speaking if you could predict the algorithm in an online casino wouldn't you be able to predict the game and win a lot let's just say you had access to the algorithm and you were able to replicate it you would practically be able to win all the games

If that happens, of course the host will realize there is something strange about your activities at the casino. Your account will be checked and your account may even be frozen. I don't think there is any way to rig a casino because it is a business and businesses are designed to bring in profits for the host. There are several possibilities where you will win the jackpot but to be honest I personally prefer sports betting to online casino games.
229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 08, 2024, 03:40:24 PM
Correct. Getting a better striker might indeed be a solution. But the problem is that in the mid-season transfer market it is very difficult to get good players in the transfer market. Because of course all the great players will be retained by each club until the season ends. Unless it makes a high offer that is difficult for the targeted club and player to refuse.

If Arsenal cannot bring in a new, better striker, then Arteta's task will definitely become tougher because he has to maximize the current striker. And actually Arsenal's strikers were also very good at first. His quality has been proven at the start of this season with Arsenal and also in the previous season. It's just that I don't know what's happening now that all the front line players seem to be together and not as sharp as usual.

That can happen because we know that maintaining consistency at the top level is very difficult for any player. I see that currently Arsenal does not have a striker who is able to maintain their level of play. Examples of strikers who are able to be consistent with their performance are Kane, Mbappe and Haaland. I can't mention all the strikers but the fact is that currently Arsenal's strikers are still inconsistent with their game and this is a tough task for Arteta if he wants to appear competitive and win the title.

There has been no official news, but leaks say that Mbappe has already signed a contract with Real Madrid (the transfer will take place in the summer). Now there is no official announcement of this news, since apparently Mbappe wants to calmly finish the season for PSG and calmly leave without scandals and conflicts with the fans. Or maybe this news will be announced after Real and PSG either play each other in the Champions League or avoid this possibility (one of the clubs is eliminated).

Even though this is still a rumor, what you say sounds reasonable. Because if this news leaks to the public, it will certainly cause a tremendous uproar at PSG. Mbappe will be uncomfortable playing and staying at PSG because he will definitely be booed by PSG fans. Especially if they face Real Madrid in the Champions League and PSG lose. So any excuse will not be accepted other than insults to Mbappe because he will be accused of not playing seriously. Honestly, I hope these rumors become facts because I want to see Mbappe's performance in a more competitive league.
231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: January 08, 2024, 03:21:49 PM
Some cool new fights were announced recently. Dustin Poirier vs Benoît Saint Denis on UFC 299. And Arman Tsarukyan vs Charles Oliveira on UFC 300. While first fight looks a bit unusual to see, top3 vs top12 (even though I love to see fresh blood in a fight among top of the top), Tsarukyan vs Oliveira looks very promising. Both are after beating Dariush. BJJ master Oliveiravs vs one of Makhachevs hardest opponents. Winner going to have a title fight after, 99,99% sure with that.

What I'm curious about is why Tsarukyan didn't fight Islam straight away and he had to fight Oliveira first for the belt? Is this because Oliveira's previous fight was canceled and Volks replaced him? But that feels unfair to Arman because if he loses then he has to postpone the fight for the belt. I think that Arman will win that match but of course we can't underestimate Oliveira because we know that even though Oliveira is weak in wrestling he is very strong when fighting on the ground.

If you look at their games, I think the general impression that Manchester City is not quite as sharp in their games as they used to be half a year ago is not misleading. Manchester City is a nuance weaker than they were before. They still dominate the game in terms of ball possession, but I am missing the dominance in all aspects of their game. They are sometimes really close to failing or losing control over the game and that is something they are not used to.
Still the quality they have is indisputable and it makes them the favorite in all competitions they play.

I think losing KDB really has a big impact on City's performance in every game. It looks like they haven't found a player who can replace Kevin De Bruyne's role in the middle of the field. Without De Bruyne, Manchester City's ball flow feels a little different. I felt like City were trying to dominate the match but there were no dangerous passes into the opponent's goal like De Bruyne did. Silva, Foden and Grealish are good but it seems they are not ready to cover the empty gap left by KDB.

Last season's defending champions are nowhere to be found, yes that would be Sevilla who had to return home early from the Champions League without being able to participate in the Europa League. They are very famous in the European League, because they are recorded as champions here very often. Last season they also proved that they are a club that can compete in the European League and beat AS Roma in the final. But unfortunately they are now not here to spread threats to other clubs.
This season Sevilla are very worrying, they are not like the Sevilla I saw before. They are struggling to perform well in the matches they play. In La Liga they are now 16th, which doesn't speak well for a club that has won Europa League titles before.

Sevilla has really performed poorly this season. They are very different from last season where last season they were able to appear quite competitive in the League. I was surprised that they didn't make it to the European league because we know that Sevilla is very famous in the European league. But it seems like this season they can't do much because I think they have a little problem in their squad. I remember there is a saying that an average team will usually find it difficult to appear competitive in every season. I think there is some truth to this theory with Sevilla's performance this season compared to last season.
234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 08, 2024, 02:49:10 PM
In the Bundesliga currently there are 2 coaches who are recognized as the best coaches at the moment, Tuchel and Xabi Alonso, but on the other hand, there are also players who are being favored and are often talked about, namely Harry Kane from Bayern Munich and Guirassy from Stuttgart.
This means that currently there competition between these three clubs, Bayern Munich, Leverkusen and Stuttgart, which will continue to compete for the title in Bundesliga, even though Stuttgart is not very strong, but as long as it has scorer like Guirassy, there is definitely an opportunity for Stuttgart to become a challenger for Leverkusen and Bayern Munich..
I feel that the competition in the Bundesliga very interesting and very tight because there are 3 clubs competing competitively and Bayern Munich still has a chance to reclaim first place, but for the time being I see that Tuchel focused on winning the trophy in Champions League.

I applaud Xabi Alonso for being able to bring Leverkusen to the lead in the Bundesliga even though there is only a 4 point difference with Munich. This means that Leverkusen's chance of becoming champions is not completely guaranteed, but I still appreciate Alonso as a coach who is able to make Leverkusen one of the strongest teams in the league today. And I agree with what you said that Tuchel could now focus on the Champions League because Munich is also one of the favorite teams to win. I think Xabi knows that the Champions League is a bit difficult this season so they will focus on the Bundesliga and getting the championship trophy.

PSG having a 9 goal margin win isn’t one less of expectations but still we must credit the players and the coach. Kylian got a hat trick to add to his list of career hattricks and it’s really great to see the youngster always turning up, he has really helped this PSG side to be successful this season despite the threat from cubs like Nice and Monaco who made everyone think PSG would miss out on the league trophy this season.

It was truly an extraordinary result. Even though I also expect that they will definitely win the match, getting 9 goals is not an easy thing. This is an achievement that really deserves appreciation. And talking about their chances in the League I have already said that this season no one doubts that PSG will win the French league. NICE has performed well this season but they will not be able to catch PSG in the League because I think NICE is at risk of appearing inconsistent in the second half of the season,
236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: January 05, 2024, 07:53:16 PM
I think you might be a bit too harsh for Volk. Remember that he agreed to fight the best pound-for-pound fighter in a world, in a higher weight class and on a very short notice. And who knows how would he do if not for that head kick.

Volk was fighting a player who had a class one level above him. This means Volk will have to fight at his natural weight class at the moment. I mention this moment because we know Volk once weighed the same as a heavyweight fighter. So Volk fights at his natural weight and on the other hand Makhacev fights at the same weight as a welterweight or even middle weight fighter. We know that Islam is the same as Khabib in that they have a natural weight far above lightweight. So this will be different from the fight against Topuria later where they will fight in the same class.

Of course if Mohammed Salah leaves and is replace by Kylian Mbappe it won't be a big problem for Liverpool but unfortunately there are many clubs who want Mbappe such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal so at least Liverpool must reach a definite agreement before taking step to sell Salah because it is feared that the dream of recruiting Mbappe will not come true.

The question is whether Liverpool can make a good offer that attracts Mbappe's interest. We know that currently Mbappe is one of the best strikers in the world. And we also know that Mbappe has liked Real Madrid since childhood. And we also know that Mbappe has a fantastic salary. Can Liverpool provide something worthy for Mbappe to want to join the Reds? Are Liverpool thinking about giving Mbappe a huge salary? We know Mbappe is a selfish player so can Klopp handle Mbappe with his selfish nature?

Same with you Cheesy even though Leverkusen and Xabi are still in a very extraordinary condition but of course in this case we cannot exaggerate at this time as if Leverkusen has become the champion because after all, at this time the situation of Leverkusen and Bayern is still in competition so we cannot exaggerate it..

If you look at the current point difference, it is only 4 points behind. I think it's only a matter of time until Munich returns to chasing these points and even becomes champion. I don't doubt the performance of Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso, but we are aware that Munich is truly a candidate to win number one in the Bundesliga. And when it comes to the European league, I think everyone agrees that many people talk about Liverpool's best chance of becoming champions. This is not who the champion is, but this is who has the greatest chance of becoming champion.

Staying in totenham will become a set back for his career as so many times we have seen former of totenham players were being very successful in their new club like kyle walker. So, no reason for dier to reject it and he can perform even better than before. Im willing to see kane's response regarding the transfer of his friend to the bayern.
Kane was also playing a very important role to convince him to join in bayern.

To be honest, it would be nice to see Eric Dier join Munich because it means Kane will have a friend from his old club. And we also know that Dier can definitely support Kane better because they have worked together before. As you said, this is a good choice for Dier's future career because we see that several Tottenham players will indeed be successful when playing for other clubs.
240  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 05, 2024, 07:19:30 PM
and this could happen to PSG because I don't doubt PSG's finances which might be able to make an offer to Haaland worth 100 million dollars will definitely make the player think deeper and possibly accept the offer from PSG.
Regarding Mbappe's departure, I am ready to see him go because he has provided many good achievements for PSG and it is time for Mbappe to look for another challenge with a bigger club to get the title he wants.

But if it was PSG I think Haaland would think about signing with them. You have mentioned yourself that Mbappe chose to leave PSG because he wanted to look for another challenge. Actually I don't think there is a difficult challenge at PSG for players like Mbappe or Haaland. If Haaland plays for PSG then he will do what Mbappe did where Haaland will win several Ligue 1 trophies and it will be difficult to compete in the Champions League.
