Pundits are fine to dish it but can't take criticism. Besides, it's their plebby fans being plebby tweeting abuse that was the problem.

On the subject of Leeds, did anyone see the Spurs penalty they got? The contact/foul was quite clearly outside the box but the body was probably in, but VAR gave it as a penalty. Not sure of the rules on that but they didn't take long to examine it.

Yeah, I'm sure other pundits have taken a heck lot more of abuse on and off Twitter, though I'm pretty sure she got quite a bit of threat DMS. Mostly plebs as you say, but I've seen how people can take down people they target -- shame as she did have a point a lot of people online pointed out earlier even!


Twitter is one of the worst places on the internet. A Load of trolls and snowflakes battling it out to see who is more stupid. They're all just screaming into the void either way. If people can't handle criticism they shouldn't be using it to blast out opinions, or at least they shouldn't be reading the comments or replies. You're absolutely not made out to be a pundit if you can't take this sort of stuff as it is going to happen every week. People need to learn to ignore it.

Very impressive first half by Man City, to be 3-0 up at Stamford Bridge is not easy. Maybe this is the game that really kick starts their season because up until this game they’ve been really inconsistent.

For the record my prediction was Chelsea 2-1 City  Roll Eyes

I went for a draw. Chelsea should have done better but got walked all over. City practically had their B team out as well. Hadn't even heard of  quarter of their players. How long is it until Lampard is sacked? Werner accidentally kicking the corner flag and then going down like he's injured was pathetic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOJT8u8S3Io


That being said this week is bad for me and I need one correct score today to make it better but have no clue what to play on Liverpool game. I have a feeling this will be low scoring affair and maybe even a draw.

I've gone for the draw. Liverpool should win but I don't trust them right now and Southampton have been playing surprisingly strong losing to only the two Manchester teams and those were close.

Yellow cap is still unreachable though - with almost 50 of us playing I didn't come close even when I was on fire.
I don't think I ever managed to get yellow cap and this is my third season here. Now it is tougher than ever since as you said there is 50 of us playing. I am more of slow and steady progress type of player I guess. Never close to yellow cap but usually doing quite ok with points.

I managed to dig myself out of a hole a bit, I was in the relegation zone a few weeks ago - I think 3rd from the bottom.

2-3 top 10 performances and I'm sitting comfortably in the middle already, so don't give up if you are in a shitty position. All can change really fast.

I was able to get the exact scores for both matches that were played today, that's boosted my rank to 4th and 6th position in the round and overall leaderboard respectively.
After some long time we have very good round because too many members with very good number of points but sadly now again we are going for vacation and now we have to wait for next round of EPL for more action hopefully now we are going to have some good and interesting matches as top ranked teams doing much better for title race.

I had it 1-2 for Manchester City and I was about to change it to a draw but I didn't.Strange enough for me I have been very consistent these last 3-4 weeks and I am now just 0.5 points behind you while I was far away in the bottom and you were way up.I hope I can keep these results coming and climb up the ladder slowly.
Initially I had 0 - 2 for City but then I changed mind and gone with 1 - 3. Chelsea needs a goal to make it happen for me and with 3 more points I can have some good time in the pool. However I have a bet of over 4/4.5 in this match and the stake is 0.01 BTC. Considering the BTC price it's a lot. I thought they will score more goals after scoring 3 goals in the first 45 minutes but it seems my luck is drying up slowly. 70th minute and still 3 goals 😏

One more goal will give me half of my stake back and no goal means I lost the whole amount.

So, looks like EPL is back to the favorites winning? And even the Brighton draw wasn't a big surprise, the only thing shocking is them scoring three goals (but that match had own goals and penalties too). So those of us thinking of upsets and draws, we got crap points:)

I have different reason why I want to see them get hammered. They sacked Bilic after he took a point from City and I felt like he was doing the best he could with the squad he had. Now they appointed Big Sam and they are conceding goals at home like crazy. Granted he took the points of your reds but everybody else hammered them. They conceded 5 against Leeds and 4 so far from Arsenal, still 25 minutes left for a couple more.

What is even better I have been watching the game and playing next goal Arsenal all the time. 4 winning tickets and counting, odds were 1.65-1.9.

Yeah which is why I actually don't feel bad if my team (Barca) goes down badly after the way the club treated our loyal servants.

After seeing the score from Tottenham and now Palace, I do not think we are having any problem with over 1.5 goals.

Yup, haha. I have this habit of jinxing myself, but I suppose all gamblers get that "feeling"Wink Hope the goals all come flowing for Liverpool soon too;)

Epic game, full time now at Brighton 3-3 Wolves. I don’t think anybody predicted that one Cheesy
Just about to tune into West Brom vs Arsenal, part of me wants to see WBA get hammered for having the audacity to steal a point from Anfield Grin

Yeah, shame on me for picking 3-2, I honestly thought Wolves were going to win too. And you got what you wanted, a 4-0 hammering which worked out for me anyway since I picked Arsenal for a parlay. The audacity of Albion! =p

Pundits are fine to dish it but can't take criticism. Besides, it's their plebby fans being plebby tweeting abuse that was the problem.

On the subject of Leeds, did anyone see the Spurs penalty they got? The contact/foul was quite clearly outside the box but the body was probably in, but VAR gave it as a penalty. Not sure of the rules on that but they didn't take long to examine it.

Didn't see the Spurs VAR but we had a similar foul outside the box against Sheffield United, and that's when I learnt the new rule (as did everyone else haha) -- as long as part of your body is above the penalty box line (touching or above it), it's considered a foul. Same tech used as goal line, which explains why they didn't take long I guess.

Do we get the yellow cap free bets after the tournament is completely done or during? Asking for a friend, heh Smiley
After winning Yellow cap you can DM to Steve here or on Superbru for free bet then he will give you very quick reply about this and you will have your free bet in your sportsbet.io account. Smiley

With 3 games to go (Burnley - Fulham game is postponed), the battle for the yellow cap is really getting intense. We have 14 people in 2 points difference, I somehow feel that we all have the same outcomes in the WBA - Arsenal and Newcastle - Leicester games. The last one is Chelsea - City, I'm really curious to see where we stand before that one.

If I'm still close to the top with a lot of people around me, I might change my prediction and go for a less expected outcome.

I've got 4.5 points and I'm only 3 points short from the leader, It's been a really close week.

I've got 1.5 points from Tottenham and Palace, but I had Wolves to win 1 - 0, that's probably the game of the week, both teams had 4 shots on goal apiece and each converted 3 of them.

Arsenal are already 2 goals up, and that's what I've gone for but it's only the 33rd minute so there's still time for more goals against this horrible West Brom team Cheesy

Well I got the result right with a draw. Just a shame I picked 0-0. I've gone for another risky draw on the West Brom game. Arsenal should win but I don't trust them yet. West Brom got slaughtered by Leeds last game but I don't think the same will happen and I'm hoping Arsenal go back to their shit form like they were a few rounds a go. Need a draw from this game for my 4-fold acca as well for £80. Not hopeful though.



Anyway, I'll keep playing for a couple more weeks and see how I do.  I'll just prolly quit eventually.  Good luck and congrats to this season's bastards.

Lol. Didn't you win last season? Why quit when there's a $50 bet every week. Users can quickly jump up the board as we have seen several times.


P.S. Anyone saw the Leeds Twitterstorm this week? Not going to weigh in on that tricky minefield but I gotta say, pundits get a lot of flak, thought it'd be normal;)

OK this is now noted and today surely they are going to hammerd because I am also feeling Arsenal need to win this match as they are doing some better in last few matches after beating Chelsea at home.

I’m just watching C Palace & they’re winning 2-0. Sheff U are on the end of yet another beating Cheesy
They must be on track for the lowest points tally in PL history.
Sheffs were better team in the last season. What gone wrong with this in this session?
It's almost sure bet if you go against Sheffs but unfortunately I did not put any money today.

Still has not watch any match today however expecting to tuned the channel for Brighton vs Wolves. I hope Wolves win their match and if this is by 1 - 2 then it will be awesome. I can really use another correct score in this round.

Also, goals now drying up in EPL. City and Liverpool struggling to score in December.
After seeing the score from Tottenham and now Palace, I do not think we are having any problem with over 1.5 goals. In the Utd match I was expecting 2 - 1 win for Utd, we got it. In the Tottenham match I was expecting 2 - 1 win however we got 3 - 0, in the Palace match I expected 1 - 0 and we have 2 - 0 so far. It's going well for me as I am expecting.

Will we have an over 2.5 in the next match? I have 1 - 2 for Wolves.

Impressive win by Spurs today, really puts them in contention for a top 4 place which I think is a realistic aim for them this season.
