After a few dollars occasionally trickling in from sales of my ebooks over the years, I suddenly received a $111 payment from Amazon. Turns out it's for SEVEN YEARS of tiny ebook sales in the US store, which finally added up to over $100 Australian and thus was paid (with the non-US stores they seem instead to pay in dribs and drabs).
Anyway that should be depressing, but as it was unexpected was a pleasant surprise. What should I spend my $111 on?
Manchester United striker Hoylund joined his former club's celebrations following Atalanta's 3-0 Europa League win over Liverpool on Thursday night. However, this result may not be beneficial for the Red Devils to participate in the Champions League next season.
Klopp's Liverpool performed shockingly at Anfield, they were scored twice by former West Ham United import player Scamacca and was frozen by Mario Phasalic. Atlanta's victory gave them an overwhelming advantage in promoted. Next week in Bergamo, Liverpool must win by 4 goals to reach the semi-finals, it can be said that one foot is out.
Meanwhile, Hoylund joined Manchester United from Atlanta last summer for a transfer fee of £73 million.
Although the Danish striker only played for Atlanta for one season, he clearly still has his eyes on his old club. After Atalanta's win, Hoylund posted a photo of the team celebrating at Anfield, accompanied by the words "Mola mia", a Bergamo proverb meaning "never give up".
It is completely understandable that Hoylund cheers for his old team, but from Manchester United's perspective, Ten Hag may still hope that Liverpool can create a miracle and turn the game around. Because of the results of the Europa League, the Premier League has fallen behind in the fight to win another spot in the Champions League next season.
Aston Villa in the UEFA Cup were the only team in the Premier League to win the European Championship this week, beating Lille. In the Europa League, in addition to the miserable defeat against Liverpool, West Ham United was also defeated 0-2 away from home by Leverkusen and is also at risk of being eliminated. In the Champions League, Manchester City and Arsenal drew with their opponents.
Now, Serie A is firmly in first place in UEFA's coefficient list and will almost certainly receive a Champions League spot, while the Bundesliga and Premier League will compete for another spot. Bayer Leverkusen's victory slightly improved the Bundesliga's scoring record.
Manchester United
The UEFA Champions League will expand in scale in the 2024/25 season, with 36 participating teams, 4 more places than currently, 2 of the positions will be determined through "European War Achievements" . Specifically, the two leagues with the best overall performance in European tournaments this season can add one additional team to participate. Specifically, in the Premier League there are already 4 spots, even the 5th ranked team can participate.
According to UEFA's coefficient calculation equation, a winning team gets 2 points, a draw gets 1 point, a losing team gets 0 points, and when entering the next stage, bonus points will be added. The statistical result is divided by the total number of clubs participating in the tournament and the result is: UEFA coefficient of the tournament.
At this time, Serie A is far ahead with 18,714 points, Bundesliga has 16,928 points, Premier League has 16,875 points, La Liga has 15,062 points, Ligue 1 has 14,750 points. The main battle between England and Germany is the fight for second place.
Manchester United
There are 7 Serie A teams in the European competition this season and there are currently 4, their highest potential points coefficient is 23,428 points, 3 of the 7 Bundesliga teams are still playing, and the highest possible coefficient is 22,500 points, 5 out of 8 Premier League teams participating, the team is not eliminated and the maximum score coefficient is up to 24 points. But this requires Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham and Villa to achieve good results in the next matches.
Among the opponents, Bayern Munich will meet Arsenal at home in round 2 and could progress, Leverkusen will also advance to the Europa League as long as they do not lose heavily in the away match. to win the championship. The laggard in the Bundesliga could be Dortmund, they lost 1-2 at home to Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals and are also at risk of being eliminated.
Manchester United is currently ranked 6th in the Premier League, 11 points behind Tottenham and Villa. It is difficult to overcome both teams at the same time. A more realistic goal is to strive for 5th place and hope for an opponent in the Premier League. can win the championship. Champions League in the European war.
Every once in a while I get asked for advice by people interested in audiobook work.
I'm now adding a postscript to my replies to say that if they would like to thank me, I invite them to give a kind review to any of my books, for which I am happy to supply a free review copy.
Good reviews help sales a great deal. Most of the books I've narrated are short. It's a small ask.
Because reviews help so much, I'm always happy to give anyone who has a sincere interest in reviewing my audiobooks a free review copy.

How is it that I have a fairly good understanding of what it means to be friendly to someone, but no idea what it means to be friends with someone? You'd think the two would be similar concepts based on the closeness of the words. /gen
