Perfect week so far for me ,3 correct scores out of 3. Liverpool will be a disappointment in correct score but I hope they at least make a win to win it as a correct result. The beauty of Premier league is that this league is totally unpredictable I had 3 games ,Swansea correct result, Burnley correct result and Huddersfield correct result.

^ If you follow Lawro's predictions, which is decent, and I'd be in the top three of our pool if I just went straight out following him, you'd notice that they're mostly conservative.  So I guess with the Spurs game, it would likely end up more at 3 - 0 than at 4 - 0 imho.

Fixtures for this week:

Stoke v Leicester
Huddersfield v WBA
Newcastle v Bournemouth
Southampton v Burnley
Swansea v Brighton
West Ham v Liverpool
Spurs v Crystal Palace
Man city v Arsenal
Chelsea v Man Utd
Everton v Watford

A load of shitty unpredictable games this week in my opinion. I could see a load of nil nil draws or at best very low scoring games. The only matches worth watching are the sunday games to be honest.

yes, this week there are so many balanced matches, only Tottenham seems to be favored for an easy win.
This week there will be players who will score very low or very high, and I think there will be revolutions in the standing.

I think Southampton vs Burnley is decent.  I got a little money riding on Burnley +.5 at 2.38.  I think it's a good deal imo.  The match has a greater chance to end in a draw than Southampton winning by a goal.

I hope not. I have them down at 1-0 and have them backed in the Sky Sports Soccer Saturday Price Boost. I got ten points from the Stoke game but so did Stephen Curry and cicciobtc  Angry. I think there's gonna be a lot of draws today or low scoring games with only a goal in them. Could be wrong though. The Man city v Arsenal and Chelsea v Man Utd games are the only ones I'm looking forward to watching. Can't deicide whether to go for 3 or 4-0 on the Spurs game. Could play it safe with 3-0 but they trashed Real Madrid 3-1 this week.

Week 11's first game kicks off in about three hours, guys, so don't forget to enter your prediction. I see two games that could potentially swing the scores around to the savvy predictor, but we have to wait til tomorrow for them:

1. Chelsea/Man Utd - I'm going for a slim Chelsea win here. I have a feeling Mourinho and co will do exactly as expected and defend in packs away from home. But there's enough blue quality for a goal.
2. Man City/Arsenal - I'm going to go for an underdog win here. Arsenal no longer inspire fear but they'll be desperate to win this and there's bound to be a blip for the Sky Blues, maybe it happens tomorrow!

I just placed my predictions, games are not that difficult this round to predict for a correct result, but for correct scores, this remains always a bingo and in the end only the most lucky person will go to the top (by lucky I mean the one with most correct scores overall during all 36 or 38 weeks of the Premier League).

9   Marlboroza          740 (average 74)


the standig is really very short, the top 6 places are enclosed in only 110 points.
with a great score (like the 160 points of buwaytress and gspot this week) each can easily climb the standing

Hilariousandco, I have some good news.  Here4Trades has replied and he's still on with the bet.  Just to be clear it's me Aguero, you Kane and Here4Trades Lukaku.

Please post the escrow address and let's get this bet on!

Yeah, I got that one as well (as did Lawro). Really annoying when I get a correct score and think I'll be moving up a place or two but in fact I stay the same cos the people above me also got it haha.

What's everyone got for tonight's game? I've got 1-1 again.

I... 

But I expect Sean Dyche and co. to have the edge.  They're at home and I guess the 'physicality' of Burnley's squad could get them a clean sheet.  And Newcastle's quality isn't exactly like City.

They're both closely matched at mid-table, but I still see Benitez as a good tactician who'll figure out a way to unlock Burnley, and have hopes for him to make manager of the month yet. His team will need to make examples of those around them now, and I predict they'll see Burnley as a prime example. Jonjo Shelvey is back, and hopefully a lot more mature that he'll run the engine room. Both will play Championship style brutishness, so plenty of cards and three goals to make me a happy camper?

Turns out I actually had 1-0 down so now I've crawled up into fourth place with that win:


1   ajaxmoor   110   980
2   StephenCurry333   80   970
3   Cicciobtc   90   930
4   hilarious   140   900

15   Wendigo   100   670
16   BetAdviser   130   640
17   KuromaYoichi   50   610
18   4tt1tudeless   0   500

20   unyil   60   390
21   here4trades   10   340
22   eaLiTy   0   290

It's still pretty close at the top and even down to mid table really. A couple of good wins could take someone top of the table.

Yeah, every time I think I outwitted everyone, they all come along with the same correct score prediction. I've stopped trying to predict unexpected outcomes since Week 9, except for Liverpool and my stubborn 3-0 permapicks. I've got tonight down at 2-1 for Newcastle.

I'll probably do it if there's three. Not worth the risk for me otherwise as I don't think he'll end up top scorer this year and Aguero will take it. I can escrow it.

Damn.  Still no reply from Here4Trades.  This would have been a really fun side bet.

Does anybody else wanna join in so we could get the bet under way?  Here are the top scorers for the EPL so far: 

http://www.soccerstats.com/scorers.asp?league=england

I got Aguero and hilariousandco got Kane.  Take your pick and join!  There are a couple more players who could be top scorer imo.

Hilarious, let's agree that the only qualified participants would be the ones who joined the betting pool.  That alright with you?

Aguero's probably going to take it, Lukaku will find it hard to score many times in Mourinho's system and Kane is a bit brittle for an attacker. I'd have taken this side bet early season but am afraid ain't ballsy enough to back anyone outside of these guys!

Just catched correct score 1-1 between Southempton and Brighton. 90 points in this week so far.

I got this one too! I thought Rooney had a goal in him at a 2-1 Leicester win, but I can't win them all, I guess. 160 points are way more than I expected and there's still a game tomorrow for a chance to get my highest weekly ever.

Places 3-6 all unchanged, really tight up there!
