Like I said, I was gone for a couple of days, but I'm back and hopefully can be more present from now on.

Welcome back. Are there any matches you are looking forward to?

Thanks. As usual the Ligue 1 matches, especially Saint-Etienne. But it was a draw, and not the best one.

Great to have you back after few days been absent. Now here gets more lively as you ought to be

Thanks! On week ends, there's always plenty of activity here with all the football matches.

@manuvert you are welcome back to the party

Hey, thanks, it's always a pleasure to stop by here whenever I can.

English Premier League

Arsenal vs Chelsea

Away to win

Also with you on this prediction. I expect the London blue club to pick up victory against the struggling Arsenal. This will surely be an exciting one as games involving these two side I always entertaining as they usually comes each other heads no matter their current form. Going by their previous meetings they Gunner's club still happen to find their way into the game has they usually pick up form against Chelsea. Don't expect that to happen today though has Thomas Tuchel should have a way of making sure the Emirates club doesn't spring up a surprise. In the worse case, I see both sides sharing the spoils has they settle for the spoils.

Arsenal vs Chelsea!
I can call it match of the week it going to be a tough match between the two side They
are river in London which normally play oven and oven that we all know that Chelsea use to beat arsenal why arsenal beat Chelsea but in this case he seemed Chelsea already as build there team what I think to see here is that Chelsea may win the game why will like to draw the game
That I think anything can happen on there game for today

Well said bro is going to be a really tough match but I expect arsenal to up their game today against Chelsea considering the fact of home advantage. Chelsea is definitely a strong opponent and he's going to try as much as possible they can to snatch the trip point of The gunners but I want arsenal to make it little difficult for them,

I think it will be a draw, although Arsenal could surprise.

English Premier League

Southampton vs Manchester United

Away to win

For this man united should not relax thinking that they have performed well in last match in old Trafford but this is an away game they will plan their team very well so that they can win the match I mean victory in the today match

Normally the away side ought to come out victorious on this one but sometimes they happened to be very inconsistent. Wouldn't want to judge them based on their first league performance. I believe both team to score will be a most likely outcome in this game.

Definitely I'm giving it up to man u considering their last match against Leeds United they played fantastically well pogba showed his class and Fernandez did a master class work too therefore I'm giving it up to them

Manchester United away win 3:1

Final score 1-1 is probably a surprise for many people, including myself. After their very strong start last week, it seems ManU could not confirm. Like somebody was saying, they tend to be inconsistent, and they showed it once again.

Italy Serie A

Udinese vs Juventus

Away win

Nice one I love this protection here friend even though it takes much out but juventus need win because they have the team to win the game which I think it gonna be 2:0 or2:1 winning for juventus

I think Udinese will surprise and beat Juventus today.

Also expect the old Ladies to pick maximum points on their first league game of the season. I don't however expect it to be a walkover. It should be a tough one but I expect Juventus to do the needful on this one.

For this much I will be predicting 2:0 in favour of juventus and of course Cristiano Ronaldo having the open on scoring sheets

Final score 2-2 is also kind of surprise for me. I couldn't watch the match but I saw the updates on my phone, and it said Cristiano Ronaldo scored a winning goal in the extra time. o, when I saw much later it was refused by the VAR, that was really a surprise. Big teams in Europe are not having it easy this week end.

This had all the making of a win for Juventus but they blew their chances in the second half has they let their foot out of the gas after initially going up two goals up in the first half. Very disappointing it was from them at other half and poor start for the new campaign. They only have themselves to blame for not holding on their win till the end. 2-2 it ended at full time.

Good prediction mate... over 2.5goals and GG both team to score. Away win either half

Thanks for the rewards.

Thanks for the reward, I really appreciate
Good job done 👍

Many thanks for the tokens much appreciated. And it is another day of football and sports action. Which game in particular are you all looking forward to today? For me it is the Chelsea versus Arsenal game. Is there any other exciting one we should be talking about or keeping in mind?

Congratulations to the winners for winning SPORTS token and hive today.

Italy serie A
Roma?-?
Fiorentina
Roma wins

And Mourinho boys started very well has saw off Fiorentina in 3-1 victory. This is clear testament of what they intend to do in the new season. I believe the Italian serie A will be much competitive with other sides having made decent signings. I tip as Roma to atleast make champions league spot for the next season and prove a tough challenge against inter Milan and Juventus.

TURKEY - SUPER LIG

Fenerbahce?-?Antalyaspor

Fenerbahce

Awesome prediction has the home team didn't disappoint has they amazingly dispatched in clinching the maximum points with a 2-0 victory. Hope they keep in this level of performance all through the season.

England Premier league

Wolverhampton Wanderers?-?Tottenham Hotspur

GG

My prediction on this will be Tottenham away win 3:1

Unfortunately this didn't play through has the away did really well in containing the home side at their very turf. Nuno Espírito Santo must feel really good helping his new club in defeating his former boss. The new Tottenham Hotspur side also seem to mean business has they have now gone two games unbeaten and with a clean sheet in the league against two tough sides even without prolific forward Harry Kane. This sure looks like a good sign of what they intend to build

Good morning fam,
Thanks for the token..

Hey guys! Let's talk about the big game

ARSENAL VS CHELSEA
arsenal did not performed well in their last game and they played against Brentford, a newly added team.. Today they are playing the champions league winners,

Do you think they will win?

Remember, Chelsea defeated them in a pre season friendly held on the 1st of this month...

Drop your comments and thoughts about the game

Chelsea will most likely win. Arsenal's performance tends to be lacking quite often.

But you know we shouldn't just judge with a game... They only played and a Lost a match...

Greetings man. Games like this are usually very difficult to pick as both sides seem to up their game and time the face off. Form Usually don't count in games like this just as we have in certain Derby matches. I wouldn't go for an outright win for any of the side. I believe they go option of over 1.5 or both team to get on the scoresheet would be a great one as they usually happen to score against each other.

It's going to be a tough match because arsenal will try their best not to lose for the second time in a row this season why Chelsea will try to maintain their unbeaten record this season buy struggling to snap an away win from arsenal, so am predicting a 1:2 in favour of Chelsea.

I think ARSENAL will take the game this time again.

Good morning mate... truth be told Chelsea will win the match today again.. but its going to be a very acrobatics tough games on the pitch today. I predict over 1.5goals and both team to score GG.

Several matches played in Ligue 1 already for this week end. First one was Paris going to Brest. Another relatively easy win for PSG with the same score as last week against Strasbourg, 2-4. It seems they can easily score goals and then start slacking a bit, let the other team score, and then finally start playing seriously again to finish the game. It's sufficient against these smaller teams so far, but not sure against much stronger teams in Champions League for instance. They'll have to make sure they play 100% the whole game. Not all their stars are playing yet though. Messi and Neymar are still under physical conditioning preparation. Not sure about Ramos. At least today, Marquinhos, Di Maria and Donnarumma were in the group (only Di Maria played a few minutes though). In any case, 3 matches in Ligue 1 so far, 3 wins for Paris Saint Germain

PSG is doing quite well. Do you think there are any other teams that you believe might give them a run for their money?

There will be a few losses of course, 38 games is a long season. For some reason, Lyon, a team that I really don't like, often causes problem to PSG. Maybe a couple others. But I really don't see any teams in Ligue 1 able to get close to them over the entire season. Last year was almost a fluke for Lille to win the title, but I really doubt anybody can repeat something like that this year.

Of course bro this is football and in the world of football you don't underestimate anything no matter what, PSG having great players doesn't mean they won't lose any game that's a lie of course you will still see it yourself

Sure they will eventually taste defeat no matter how good their current squad is. But it could all be managed properly if the manager manages his selection properly has they seem to have a very good squad with lot of depths. They could even an unbeaten run has I don't see anything stopping from doing such if they maintain their level of concentration all through in the new season.

Also happen to find problems with the Paris Saint-Germain Club as that defence has not been solid as I would expect. This isn't a good sign for a team who intend to challenge on all major front. Facing tougher opponent would be really disastrous has it will greatly count against them. Sergio Ramos is here to join the team I believe due to injury. Hopefully when he does the backline leakage would be much more better

Not sure if it's really a defense issue, or just a concentration issue. It seems after a while, it gets too easy or something, and they let the other team play for a bit. But they can't do that too often or it will cost them.

Whatever it is it sure needs quick fixing has it could greatly cost them when they face much tougher opponents. They need to maintain high level for the entire. What was seen in last game repeated itself. Funny enough it was also the exact scoreline.

Also happen to find problems with the Paris Saint-Germain Club as that defence has not been solid as I would expect.

Definitely mate I agreed with you on this and I have the feeling that irespective of who they have signed into the team,if their defence is that bad ,it might not stop them from losing to cheap teams that will don't even think of too,but of all we must give it to them for doing a great job,I was just smiling seeing Neymar and messi watching from the stand

Expected their attach to always do the job has that appears to be what is saving them from their flaws been exposed to the world. Their defense is quite shambolic or maybe it has a result of them playing against lesser team and losing concentration after been up. Whatever it is, it should be cautioned and addressed going forward.

What a nice recap from you mate and I really love how you have analysis all this at a point ,this is very good mate and definitely I am with you on your opinions and view on the match between the Paris landlord

Thanks for your comment. Their lack of consistence during the whole match is indeed something they need to fix. I'm not a fan of PSG anyways, so I don't care so much, but if they have ambitions in the Champions League, they can't do that.

Two others matches in Ligue 1 today.
First one was Monaco against Lens. Monaco still cannot find their game, and lost again 0-2. This is not a good sign before a difficult second leg game in the Champions League qualifications against Donetsk (Monaco lost at home the first leg 0-1).
Second match was Saint-Etienne against last year league champion Lille. Lille scored first near the end of first half. But a late goal from Saint-Etienne made it a draw. Not a great start for either teams: 3 draws for Saint-Etienne, and 2 draws and a loss for Lille. But the ambitions for both teams are very different.
All other Ligue 1 games tomorrow (not sure by the way why so many games are on Sunday this year, maybe it's the TV rights which changed the usual schedule, I'll have to check).

Quite a sad one from Monaco as they tasted defeat yet again. Hope they make it right when they travel to Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League qualification second leg. It wouldn't be an easy one but it's something they can actually do if they got all of their act together.

The defending champion seem to be starting out very badly as they are yet to taste win. Hope they start to get back to their winning ways again and to replicate that form which saw them clinch the league one title. Paris Saint needs a big Challenger and I don't happen to see anyone at the moment which isn't good for competition.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen the match, but it seems Barcelona had much more trouble than last week. They managed to get the draw 1-1 at Athletic Bilbao. But they were dominated for a good portion of the game, and only tied the game 15 minutes before the end. Pique got injured and Garcia got a red card at the end. Not sure what defense they will have next week without these two players. Only good news for them: Depay got his first official goal.

Yeah it depends on the team they will play next week... I think it's getafe, it might be a smooth win for them..
Today let's see what real Madrid has to offer..

It will be indeed Getafe at Camp Nou, so even without a good center defense, they should be okay. But you never know of course.

I was only looking at the score but it does seem like Barcelona might be in trouble since there is plenty of time in the season.

The Barcelona side struggling a major impact on the game as the Bilbao side proved to be a very strong opposition. I believe they were even lucky to have gotten a point from the game. it could have been much more worse. The injury suffered to Gerard pique is a terrible one and the red card to new signing Garcia will also affect the team in their next game. Would be interesting to see how they manage without these two in their next game. Great to see the Dutch International register his first goal for the team. Hopefully you get to do that each week and improve his tally at the club.

good morning to everyone you yesterday was a tough match between Barcelona and athletic Bilbao what do you see about the match

Good day insight.pob. As expected the game ended in a draw. Prior to the game I didn't envisage the Catalonia side picking up three maximum point has the athletic Bilbao have always been a thorn in the flesh even when Lionel Messi in team. I believe they even did quite okay as they didn't lose the match has I initially feared.

No one is talking about today's game between Chelsea and arsenal, is it that it's already written that arsenal will lose to Chelsea...

I just wish arsenal can arsenal can just wake up and start surprising people with their game, they have really lost a lot of supporters...

I thought we all knew it was going to take the day. So there was no need taking about the match has knew the Arsenal side that faced Brentford last week will not be able to pull any surprises. At the end of the day, the result said it. I even expected Chelsea to have scored much more but failed to convert some chances.

Definitely it is a wish from you mate ,but trust this I don't see the Chelsea team losing at all today and let see what the likes of lukaku will bring to the table today once they played against the London club and as I am typing the match is ongoing right now, hope to see and enjoy best of football ⚽ from the two clubs

I really appreciate the reward hoping to participate more thanks a lot

That is what you get here when you are consistent about your participation and contributions mate

Feel really good getting rewarded for engagement. Amrr008.sports really doing an an amazing job with managing the several tribes. More power to his elbow.

It's just too early for God's sake... Arsenal 🤣🤣🤣

Wicked run of fixtures the gunner's when looking at the calendar. No breathing space to even catch up as they face Manchester City next. Can only have pity for their supporters has they will most likely be witnessing their third consecutive league defeat.

Another one o!!... Arsenal losing 2-0...just half time

What a day, another loss for arsenal, what's their fate?...

Even next weekend ain't sure for them, they are playing Manchester City, I guess they will go home with bags of goals... 🤣 🤣

As expected they lost again. Poor performance from them yet again. With the way things are going they will be having one hell of a season.

Even next weekend ain't sure for them, they are playing Manchester City

This just made it worse. As the citizens club would be sweeping them away like they always do. Michel Arteta would be having serious headache seeing his next couple of fixtures.

Thanks for the giveaway boss mate you are doing well
