I have read that Barcelona should have drawn at least this match. But what good is that? They lost and Inter are in good shape in the league. I think Bayern Munich will win this group. It will be a difficult task for Barcelona to qualify for the next round. There is also a goal disallowed by the VAR of Pedri, good that they have the VAR otherwise it would have been a goal. Barcelona will not settle for a 3rd place because that is another elimination from the CL. Group A - Ajax - Napoli 1-6.
Napoli again showed a very extraordinary performance by winning the match at home to Ajax. This gives an indication that Napoli have indeed been really strong this season and the possibility of Napoli also has the potential to get a trophy in the Serie A League this season. Because if in the Champions League group phase Napoli looks so strong, obviously Napoli will be much more consistent and strong in the Serie A League. Napoli was a class in their match against Ajax even in the absence of their workaholic striker Victor Osimen, they were able to demolish Ajax by scoring a six goals triller the outcome of that match had subjected Ajax to a very tight corner in their bid to qualify for the next round after Liverpool comfortable win against the Rangers who had been in the bottom of the table without a win and a point, Ajax will book a date away to Napoli in their next match with a very slim chances of winning that match, honestly Napoli is playing at a very high level playing entertaining and impressive game, I hope they sustain the tempo and consistent with that performance. |

Anfield is a place that must be won to continue to gain points so as not to fall behind, I know yesterday's mistake should have been anticipated by Klopp and in UCL he at least had the best strategy for his victory, even though Rangers looked worse in UCL but at least Liverpool could be more wary of an unexpected team but I believe the win over Liverpool tonight even though it's not in the bets is the odds.
Rangers shouldn't be a tough excuse for Liverpool to win, but then again the Champions League can easily motivate any club to keep their position as special as possible. Even though Liverpool's opponents are still under him, Klopp needs to consider carefully, it doesn't mean he has to relax with the opportunities that will be faced. Against Rangers, you have to be as optimal as possible, focus on winning because Liverpool if you want a satisfying result, you have to show your best performance back on the field. This is a match Liverpool can't afford lose else Ajax will capitalize on that result and move above of them on the table provided that they secure a positive result against Napoli, though Liverpool had been having a poor runs in the league however, I am expecting the club to defeat Rangers in Anfield today to secure six points, I believe that their group is still very open among all the four contenders thus there shouldn't be no room for any complacency among the clubs even Rangers without any point can spring a surprise or create an upset by winning their match against Liverpool today. |

Leicester finally found the win they needed after many weeks. This was their first win in the season and it was a really solid one. This 4-0 win over Nottingham was the game they were the best in defense so far. Because their main problem has been related to the weakness of their defense so this win might help them improve their performance as of now. I know that they played against another poor team of the league. But I still don't want to underestimate this win for them. They need to keep up a good work to get themselves out of the relegation zone.
Leceister City win against Nottingham Forest will bring a temporary relief to their fans and their owners, the club isn't in the best of form probably due to lack of depth of the club, their owner didn't not bankroll the club to sign new players in the last summer after selling some of their quality players, meanwhile Nottingham Forest had too many signings and the team isn't formidable yet, Steve Cooper has a lot of work to do to in transforming the club from losing matches after their fifth straight defeats back to their winning ways else he will be shown the exit door congratulations to Leceister City for their first win of the season. |

I had started to admire the partnership and synergy between Kevin DeBryne and Haaland in the colours of Man City, I believe before the end of the season the number of assists to be provided by DeBryne for Haaland will dwarf that of Son and Kane including the number of goals scored and I am very sure a record will be broken by the duo at the end of the season, Haaland had broken the record of scoring three successive hat-tricks at home in EPL, I foresee more new records broken going at the rate at which the lanky and gangling striker is scoring goals at will provided that he is injury-free, he is a very complete striker and will perform better than Kun Aguero.

I saw some video footage from fans uploaded on social media showing that when there was a riot where the police fired tear gas, it turned out that the exit gate was closed so there was an uncontrolled crowd buildup but tear gas was fired into the closed door area. The police here clearly violate the FIFA code of ethics and sanctions should also be given to the police. They took excessive precautions, so the audience who were panicked and angry due to the actions of the police resisted and ended up clashing between audience and the police. Until now the news is still in the world's spotlight about the future of Indonesian football which will certainly be bad. this is what we are fighting for. the police continued to say that they had carried out according to the protocol but in fact, the tear gas was released into the stands, not in the lower stands which were in chaos In sporting events in Indonesia, the role of the police and army has gone too far, they are really rude when carrying out their duties. it's time to change and not involve the police or the army in the most important sporting event of football Policemen in the stadium acted unprofessionally to control the spectators who invaded the pitch, firing tear gas canisters in an overcrowded stadium isn't the best crowd control, this isn't the first case of pitch invasion in football matches in other countries there are ways of controlling such an unmannered behavior of the fans and spectators without causing any casualties, the Indonesian government should prosecute the culprits behind the incident after a thorough investigation of the incident, my condolences to people who lost their love ones and wishing the injured quick recovery. |

It's not easy to bounce back after lost 4-0 in the first half and this happend to Manchester United although Antony score amazing goal but it cannot help the team to equalized the score and indeed it is predictable Manchester United will lose at Manchester City home ground but i didn't expect they will conceded 6 goals in this match and with the decline performance from Liverpool and Chelsea i will dare to say race title for this season is only between Manchester City and Arsenal
Honestly conceding six goals by a big club such as Man Utd is absolutely degrading and humiliating, a club that won four matches consecutively, infact Man City could have score more goals if Guordiola did not substitute Kevin DeBryne, Foden, Gündogan and Grealish, Man Utd were overpowered and bullied in every area of the field in midfield McTominay, Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes were clueless with no impact to provide passes to Rashford, Anthony and Sancho in the attack, in defence Varane, Martinez and Malacia were ineffective enough to stop Foden and Haaland. |

Erling Haaland can also set new records in the premier league. the striker is an exceptional world-class player. as can be seen today at 3-0, he goes and reaches balls/passes, where another player would perhaps no longer come close.
btw which player actually holds the eternal record of the top scorer in the pl?
This is very likely to happen given his current appearance. The 3 goals he scored in the first Manchester derby for him, it was absolutely incredible. Manchester United still can't match a big team like Manchester City. The slick record in the previous match really won't happen in this match. Left behind by 5 goals was a crushing blow for them. Ten Hag has not been able to bring Manchester United to a higher competition. Before now I already saw the picture outcome of this match. Manchester United have really improved this season but not to a standard to challenge Manchester City. Manchester United still tried to score 3 goals , atleast their performance was not poor , they showed some strength to realise some goals. Manchester United has improved very well and they could play and win Manchester City but it just their mindset to the match. Is it not Manchester City that struggles with Asron Villa and Newcastle for draw? Manchester United players approached the match with alot of fears in the first half and that was why they were humiliated. The second half that they came in with alot of courage, you can see the outcome that they won in the second half. The team failed to play the City boys normal football. I think Man City first eleven are there strength of the team immediately Guordiola made some substitutions they team became vulnerable allowing Man Utd to score two of their goals, truly Man Utd didn't up their game in the first half due to fear and failure to push forward and attack they rather sat back thus allowed the host to dictate the pace and dominated the game which allow them to score four goals, in the second half Man Utd gain some confidence and push forward to attack the removal Kevin De Bruyne Gündogan, Foden and Grealish by Man City while introduction of Fred, Casimero and Martial made some positive impact. |

I hope people don't fall for this scheme. From looking at the Twitter page and account, it may be difficult to differentiate from the original account of vitalik considering the fact that the scammers have a large followership and have been getting incessant retweets, likes and comments. The major thing that could put them out is the qty of eth to be distributed which is over a billion dollar worth.
People who fall into this scam will just be newbies, they usually don't notice or check many times before joining, and they will join immediately, because for newbies they usually like to earn free money. These scams are not new, it happens constantly on twitter, if you regularly use this social network you will find it popular up there. Many newbies always fall for this trap because of their greediness and having the impression of getting rich with crypto, they are easily gullible by this type of Twitter messages thinking it is real infact some of them wouldn't be convinced that it's fake because it is well packaged look real and genuine until they fell victim of the scam, I also expect the twitter message be taken down by twitter admin, meanwhile the clever newbies make more enquires to know the validity of the message because sending their coins to the fraudsters to avoid being scam and falling victim of the fraud. |

Liverpol gets draw against brighton. Brighton is also very strong team at this moment. that proves that if salah is not on fire anymore. The gone of sadio mane has been giving a big change to the club. It seems like that liverpool is not so impressive as when sadio mane was playing for this club. that's very sad to see that liverpool was not able to get full points against brighton this is very disappointed with the team like liverpool. So many great players in the club didn't even enough to bring a win to the team.
It seems like that salah was nothing. Liverpool may fall to the middle of classement.
Again we see Liverpool as if something is lacking, both in terms of sharpness and Moh Salah who does not have a suitable attacking partner. A draw should not have been obtained by Liverpool because this was the umpteenth time Liverpool was stuck and only stagnant in the standings. This sounds a bit disturbing to me Liverpool will face Arsenal next week, with their current form can they really win from Arsenal? Liverpool had fallen behind before 20 minutes into the game through two goals from Brighton's Leandro Trossard. However, Liverpool managed to come back with two goals from their striker Firmino and an own goal from Brighton's Adam Webster. Brighton who performed well at Anfield were able to equalize and have the right to bring home a point thanks to Trossard hattrick in the final 10 minutes of the match. Jurgen Klopp must immediately move to improve Liverpool performance, this season there are many things Klopp needs to do because his team performs far from what is expected. The defense is very fragile, the midfield is not able to control the game and the front line is not as sharp as last season, Liverpool goal productivity has dropped dramatically this season. The draw that Liverpool just got made them stuck in ninth position in the standings with 10 points. While Brighton one point at Anfield leaves them in fourth place with 14 points. Honestly Klopp has a lot of job to do in getting Liverpool out of this mess if they really aim to clinch a top 4 spot, else they will won't qualify for UCL, their records of 2 wins in 7 matches is absolutely unacceptable which is in sharp contrast with last season emphatic performance at this time last season they are unbeaten in the league, they will play in-form Arsenal next week another big huddle and challenge ahead of them, I think they missed the service of workaholic Mane in their attack since his departure Mo.Salah had struggled to score goals his combination with Nunez and Diaz had been fruitless. |

Liverpool's defense was disappointing, this match didn't live up to most people's expectations. I think Klopp was really angry at the performance of his players today, especially in defence. They failed to hold on to the win 10 minutes from time as Brighton managed to steal a point at Anfield.
For a while, Liverpool had to be satisfied with the result of this match even though they had to fight hard to win the match. Nobody expected them to drop points at home as they should have had a chance to secure 3 points. Trossard's superb performance which scored a hat-trick deserves appreciation, he was like a hero today for Brighton.
Liverpool's defensive line was very bad today. Trossard gave a great performance. But the real problem was in Liverpool's defensive line. Especially Trent Alexander-Arnold's performance has decreased in the last matches. He needs to be a little more careful. He must return to his old performance and help his friends to move the team up. It is necessary to open a parenthesis for Mane. His absence is felt in Liverpool. Diaz and Nunez transfers have not yet made the desired contribution. We have to admit that Liverpool's offensive line has been weak this year. Klopp shouldn't have given up on Mane so easily. Trent Alexander-Arnold defending was very awful he always give back ball to their opponent cheaply i.e lost possession too often and very slow in tracking back to defend, Liverpool midfielders had not really help their attacks too Fabinho, Henderson and Tiago played below expectations, I believe that resulted in their lack of scoring goals, Brighton got a well deserved draw for their new manager De Zerbi though they could have won the match but atleast he will continue from where Graham Potter had stopped, I hope they continue with their performances consistently and push for top 6 position at the end of the season. |

bitcoin has done a lot for me, especially financial problems, since I got to know bitcoin my financial problems have improved, loans have been paid off one by one, I was lucky to be introduced to bitcoin, I can work online without having to leave my children
Before I knew bitcoin I was faced with some financial challenges too, however since I embraced the coin I have had been relieved of that burden especially after I joined this forum, I hade learnt a lot of stuffs about bitcoin which aided my ability to use stable coin for forex trading thus avoiding the mandatory KYC required by some brokers using my local currency, I also like the idea of carrying out my personal transactions anonymously one of the feature of using bitcoin apart from being a store of value, finally I prefer to be paid with bitcoin for any online job I performed which is better than Western Union Money Transfer, paypal, payoneer etc. |

Arsenal 3:1 Tottenham.
Arsenal were amazing at the Emirates stadium, they looked so tough for Tottenham. Arsenal continued to dominate the match with a beautiful game, Tottenham seemed to have trouble keeping up with the game shown by Arteta's team. Three goals from Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Xhaka kept Arsenal firmly at the top of the table. Tottenham only got one goal in this match through Harry Kane. As a result of this defeat Tottenham increasingly trailed behind Arsenal, now they are 4 points adrift.
I never thought there would be more than one goal between them at the end of the game, but the better team that dominated the game triumphed. Tottenham is in top form and had no idea that Arsenal would defeat them at the Emirates stadium. With Arteta this year, Arsenal's style of play and will to win games has increased, and they won't let go of the top table now. I won't be shocked if they win the title this year. What a strong start for the Arsenal team, with unwavering consistency. Arsenal played an amazing match today they dominated the match with an entertaining display and were more superior than their rival Tottenham invariably broke their unbeaten runs, it's was a very brilliant performance by the gunners, meanwhile there some speculations before the match about Thomas Partey being injured against all odd he played very excellently well and took control of Arsenal midfield conseqently was rewarded with a brilliant goal, I believe Arsenal remain consistent with this performance and got some results after playing the top teams they will sure give the EPL title a shot. |

I read some other news about Rowe and Elneny which it is certain that they will not be able to play and for others it is still in doubt and it is possible that some of them will also not be able to compete.
This is clearly a loss for Arsenal because at the moment they need a strong line-up but this injury storm clearly makes Arteta have to think harder because indeed this will be difficult if most of his players are absent.
Arteta haven't used Rowe much and we have options for Elnenny but it's the left back position which falls under bit concer actually with Zinchenko and Tierney doubtful. Other than that I don't think it's that of a major concern and we have players in those players to put up a decent squad against Spurs. Possible that we might see Tomiyasu featureing that position. Usually he plays as a right back but I have seen Arteta roll him out on the left hand side once and he did quite well then. If there was no option, then Arteta would have to entrust this to Tomiyasu. At the moment it is true that Zinchenko and Tierney are still uncertain but it is likely that they will be absent and this is clearly hampering. Their chances are very difficult now and it is not impossible that they will be forced to play a different strategy from previous Arsenal games if this is the case and their defenders cannot play with the main squad. It's not good news that Arsenal may be without some of their key players, especially Partey, Zichenko and Tierney may not be able to play. Partey may be replaced by Lokonga, but Arsenal's left defender position seems to have to play Tomiyasu. Although Tomiyasu is better at playing at the right defender position. But since Arteta had no other players, not even Soares could play, then Tomiyasu was the only choice Arteta could take. I think it's too risky to play Tomiyasu at left defender position, let alone Tottenham have a deadly front line, so surely Conte will give instructions to Tottenham players to attack Arsenal's weak point. My suggestion would be for Arteta to change his playing strategy by playing 3 center defenders, rather than forcing Tomiyasu to play at left defender. Even though Arsenal lost some of their main players, I am still optimistic that Arsenal can still win the game. Moreover, the last meeting Arsenal beat Tottenham with a score of 3-1. I think Arteta might switch Ben White to play the role of Left back while Holding will partner Saliba at their central defence, he just have to utilize the versatility of Ben White at this stage of their league campaign due to injuries to Tierney and Oleksandr Zinchenko, alternative Xhaka can also play the Left back role though he is lacking in pace to overlap and help their attack but he is still manageable playing the role with caution and discipline because we know Xhaka is always aggressive when playing consequently can be booked for bad tackling and fowl play. |

The match between Chelsea vs Crystal palace will take place tomorrow. I want to see how Chelsea develop with their new coach, Graham Potter. and this will be chelsea's second match after changing a new coach. I think it will be easy for chelsea to get 3 points from this game. because considering his opponent that is Crystal Palace is not so good this season. But what will concern me is wanting to see how Chelsea develop after changing coaches. if it turns out Chelsea is still the same as before. then we will be able to think that there are other problems within chelsea.
Actually I am expecting Chelsea to win their match against Crystal Palace however, the home had always been a hard nut to crack thus Chelsea will have to work hard and up their game because it's going to be a very difficult match, recall Liverpool narrowly secured a draw against them this season, Chelsea defeated them by a hard-fought win with a lone goal last season, I think it's the match will end with a narrow against Crystal Palace or draw, Graham Potter will face real test in tomorrow's EPL game having drew his first match in UCL a match the home team were tipped to win with a wide goal margin. |

Arsenal is in a difficult situation at the moment. some of their main players had to be absent. and of course, have to prepare a strategy with some of their reserve players.
although their attack line is still strong, when the midfield does not provide support because it must be forced to defend, this will also make it difficult for Arsenal's usual strategy to be implemented. Arsenal must be prepared with their new strategy. the opponent this time is Tottenham, this game is really important for both teams.
Arsenal face bad situation in midfielder area after losing Martin Ødegaard and Thomas Partey got injury on International FIFA matchday, few days later before against with Tottenham Hotspur, Mikel Arteta need to find new strategy who will replace position from Thomas Partey and Martin Ødegaard. I think with holding midfielder leaving by Thomas Partey can replace by Granit Xhaka because he has good performance as holding midfielder, but who will get attacking midfielder replacing position from Martin Ødegaard? Spurs main player not any announcement absent in this games and they can play with full team, bad impact for Arsenal how keep lead first standing position but several main player have got injury and absent on most important match, loss point or get draw against Spurs on next match have bad impact for Arsenal losing chance with first standing position if another games Manchester City success win from United on Manchester derby. Both players mentioned Martin Ødegaard and Thomas Partey will likely play for Arsenal against Tottenham according to goal.com the former played for Norway in the nation league and had joined the gunner he is expected to feature for the team as they face Tottenham while the latter injury is not serious he pulled out from his national team as a precautionary measures however, both players will be accessed to test and check their fitness level I am sure the chances of both players playing for Arsenal is very bright, alternatively the gunners has Viera as a replacement for Martin Ødegaard while Lokonga will deputize for Thomas Partey. Link for the injury news : https://www.goal.com/en-ng/lists/arsenal-injury-list-partey-smith-rowe-elneny/blt44322c7e34145389#cs5e6ca4cbaa138237 |

I cannot agree with you. Undoubtedly, Manchester City is a worthy contender for this season's Champions League title. Rather, I think Bayern Munich's chances of challenging for the title this season are slim. Because of losing Lewandowski, their performance is now unstable. On the other hand, Barcelona and Manchester City are now stronger and more stable than in the East. My guess is the battle for the Champions League title this season will be mainly between Manchester City, Real Madrid, PSG and Barcelona.
Manchester City looks different this season because it is reinforced by Erling Haaland. So far Haaland has successfully become a new idol for supporters. In the Champions League, I still doubt Manchester City can reach the final. But I'm more convinced that teams like PSG, Barcelona and AC Milan have the chance to make it to the final. Apart from Manchester City, I also doubted Real Madrid. To be able to help us speculate further about the team that has the chance to win the trophy, it would be nice if the group stage was over. It's too early to call the shots of the likely winner of UCL trophy this season, until after the knockout stages before we can start predicting the likely winner of the trophy, this is football anything can happen, the so-called favorite teams might be knocked out by an underdog by creating an upset, Man City, Bayern Munich, PSG, Real Madrid can be defeated by any team, recall in the last UCL match between Man City and Borussia Dortmund it took the 80 minutes before the equalized and eventually won that match, Chelsea who used to be a very formidable team in UCL is struggling now however, they can still up their game and improve in their performance. |

Arsenal of course is the favorites in this game, but it is not like they are playing against Watford or something, they are playing against Tottenham and they shouldn't go out with a mindset of "we are going to easily win this game" because if they do that then they will lose. So, it's better to be ready for anything and fight for the points even if you are the better team, just in case.
Agree, Arsenal may be still the favorite in the next match to win. But we must be also aware that the opponent is Tottenham in which this club is also now rising up, very consistent and also struggling to be always in the top positions. If Arsenal cannot play very well and played like what against Man United, we cannot guarantee that they may win fromTottenham. But indeed, this is still difficult to determine which club will win. Both are now on fire, both have their special reasons to win. Nothing will be easy in the match between the two. Only the club that can be consistent, more effective in utilizing the chance anda lso accurate enough that will probably win. ANd this, still don't know whihc one will be. How Arsenal will play in this match is impossible to say. Tottenham have a very good record. We can't predict anything about that. Which team will play well and which team will play poorly. But we will see a very good game in this match. Hopefully, nothing will be said until the game is over. Arsenal is only good team against small team. This team is always facing lose when it was against the big team. It can't even beat MU even when MU is still trying to find the best performance. The same scenario will be happening again when arsenal against totenham. This club is over rated club. So far this club rarely get trophy which has been proven it can't be consistent until the end of season. A club with only a few trophies. Arsenal squad of this season is more formidable and stronger than the Arsenal squad of the previous seasons their performance so far this season justified my assertion, they used to struggle against smaller teams in previous seasons but had up their game, truly they lost their match against Man Utd this season in a match they dominated and ought to have won however, lost it due to some mistakes, they are used to defeating Tottenham in most of the London derbies and I am very optimistic that Arsenal will play some draws or possibly win some of their matches against the top teams this season going by their present form and quality of players in their squad. |

This topic had indeed given me some hope and inspiration in my bid to begin software development journey at 40+, I now understand that age isn't a barrier to achieving one's aims and objectives, I believe as a STEM oriented fellow and a physics teacher I think I am going to get on well with my programming expedition as I embark on it at this age, I feel motivated to start learning C# which is my main preferred language and I also intended to learn it after closing from daily job, I had also read a lot of motivational topics about learning programming at a later age isn't a barrier towards achieving or being successful, it's up to individual full commitment and dedication.
