Nah, I messed it up. Our bet is Chelsea in the top 4 - but you ain't getting that one correct either Grin
Like I said even in the top10 seems very hard for the Chelsea team if not impossible. You are winning.

No one is to take the side anymore?
Maybe a better and competitive market can be if Chelsea will be in top 10 of the point table? "No" at what odd? Make me an offer LOL

Thanks man.

Yes i win this round, i was not so confident to win , because i put a "risky" prediction in the last game, but ended up b eing the correct one.

About the BTC price, yes the halving next year i hope to bring some good news to all of us.

And yes, its my alt this one.
Congratulation. My only wish is I will rank up high on the pool table LOL

Hah!  Loving this betting pool.  As soon as we send our BTC to hilarious I think the price will be at 5k USD or something.  Then as the 2018/19 season ends it could trend up to 30k USD or so (maybe more?).  Grin


This is why I have a love/hate relationship with bitcoin.  I will always support bitcoin obviously but it can be quite annoying when you get paid in bitcoin and the price plummets %50.  Of course the opposite can happen as well and it can rise %50.  The price we pay for being early adopters I guess Smiley

I think the price will be much higher in May 2024 than it is now. Anybody who has been in bitcoin for more than a few years will know why.

But yeah, price fluctuations are all part of the game. 1 bitcoin = 1 bitcoin though.

Any way congrats to darbit who gets the yellow cap for round 5 with a very impressive 21 points.

@darbit congratulations to winning yellow cap!!

 It was recorded 21 points in this round, and I was also fortunate to achieve 17 points, which pushed me up into the top ten positions. Now, I'm very close to the top spots. Let's now focus on the opening matches of the UEFA Champions League, with Newcastle in mind. They must deliver a strong performance to stay in the tournament for as long as possible.

Wenger started his U-25 project when Arsenal was struggling for money, and he had fantastic results with that team on really small budgets.
People made fun of these teams and called them 'nearly there's' but they overachieved almost every season.
The Wenger project was way different from what Chelsea is doing today. Todd Boehly is basically just throwing multiple darts at the mark and hoping one sticks. Buying young players for exorbitant amounts and drawing up long term contracts is not the way to rebuild a team.

He needs to work with the manager and not bring him into the project and understand that it takes time to build up a team, especially after a drop from their current status in the league.

Oh I did? Danm it! We're not going to finish above this Liverpool team, no way, no how. Our lonely win came against a just promoted Luton, and we struggled to get it. I feel bad for Todd Boehly and his colleagues, but they fail to do their basic homework before going on their U25 player project. They should have asked about Arsenal and Arsene Wenger's U25 project a few years ago.

No way Mudryk, Enzo, or Caicedo are worth the money we paid for them. Sterling and Gallagher will not be used by any serious European team.

Boehly and his team spent an incredible amount of money on talent and are nowhere near the results that Wenger had.

You've already won that side bet; this Chelsea team will not finish ahead of this Liverpool team. Spent £1 billion to look like Swamsea. I'm exhausted, man. When will you need your 1mBTC?

You have that one against me as well Grin
Don't give up just yet, it's still not theoretically lost. It will be in January though.

This Chelsea team is simply horrible, nothing can save Boehly's Frankenstein project.

but I’m very upset that Newcastle, United and Chelsea are too deep and there’s no point in expecting an interesting fight for the top 4 yet.
Newcastle upsets me the most [Utd does not make me upset because I accepted that they are unpredictable]. I had high hope for Castle considering their games in last season. Having promoted to the CL, I was expecting more from them but from 5 matches their earning is only 6 points. I am not disappointed that they lost against City and Liverpool [In-fact I was convinced that they will win Liverpool though] but against Brighton and Brentford [although they won] they did not look a better team. Champions league needed a better team from England, certainly Castle is going to make it boring.

I understand your frustration darling. Let's settle it after end of the season with other side bets. But don't lose you hope, it's still long 33 rounds to go.

I think it is a bit to early to call this project a Frankenstein one.There are another 30 weeks of football or a bit more until the Premier League ends and I think Boehly has learned his lesson last season that changing often the coach is not the way to go so I believe he will keep Pochettino until the end of the season no matter what results he gets.

I am confident that Chelsea will improve over the long run and they most likely will get a European spot in the end of the Premier League,maybe an over optimistic prediction but I am sure Chelsea will achieve it  Grin.

Anyone is watching Bouremouth vs Chelsea? Still goalless although it not even half time. Where is flumpnuggets? Do you still think Chelsea is going to finish ahead of Liverpool? Maybe now there is another side bet we can think about which is will Chelsea be relegated? LOL

Good question!  Grin
But I don’t think that anyone will accept such a bet at odds of less than 1 to 100.



Meanwhile, although results are often very difficult to obtain, we see the usual picture in the top 4 after 5 games: City, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool. I’m glad that City are not so far away (although they have a 100% result), but I’m very upset that Newcastle, United and Chelsea are too deep and there’s no point in expecting an interesting fight for the top 4 yet.

Arsenal nearly surprised us again when they ended 0-0 the first half I thought that maybe they were going to lose their game 1-0 like they did last season where it costed them the complete Premier League in that lost game against Everton together with the draw at home against Southampton.

Chelsea was unlucky today,they should have gotten the win even if they played in a chaotic way,Bournemouth did not show anything and they let Chelsea play completely this game by dominating it,0-0 is not a good result of course for them but they should be happy what with they did today,the results will come sooner or later.

another defeat 0:1 at Goodison, can't remember when we started this bad, 'Dyche out' all over stadium, but can't say that he is main reason for a bad start, we simply don't have midfield, and fail to score when in chance

congrats to Arsenal, first win at Goodison since Arsen left, all good times come to an end
at least took some points in FPL

Yes, of course! Despite the fresh additions, Chelsea is still trying to find their customary form. This game against Bournemouth appears to be demonstrating that more work needs to be done before we can resume our usual powerful play. Chelsea is a formidable team, though, and with time and practise they can succeed in the current campaign.

Chelsea are playing without any sense of direction and that is surprising for a team managed by Pochetinno. The players were all over the place and seemed to be at the exact same level as their opponents.

The season finally gets its first goaless draw.

I was pretty sure about Manchester United lose before the game if they play hit by hit against this Brighton, but for me surprise i have to say Manchester United played very good this time, but was unlucky in reaching the goal and also everytime Brighton reach Man Utd goal was a goal.

looking at today matches, United was a biggest surprise
not sure if United is that bad, or Brighton is above any expectations that I had before season, I thought they will end-up below position 10, and they seem as proper CL candidate looking at results so far

Newcastle secured a minimal win over Brentford, to keep up, after being dismissed last round

The only thing that killed my perfect winning run today was this match between Man Utd and Brighton. I had a draw and Brighton surprised all and won the match. Man Utd is really bad this season aswell and i think Ten Hag needs to be sacked as soon as possible.

Sacking ETH will not solve anything it would simply return the team back to where they came from, i don't know whose choice was to sack De Gea for Onana, whomever made such mistake has to be sacked, Onana may be good with his feets but he is really awful at savings. DeGea single-handedly saved that team and won the club POTY awards for three consecutive seasons. At the back, Onana will always be a threat to the defence line because all he does is toss the ball around and concede to whatever shot he receives. ETH, on the other hand, is a tactical manager who is the right guy for the job, but he needs to work on his relationship with his players.

Losing to Brighton is hardly a disgrace because they are perhaps the best attacking club in England.

I was almost having a full three point from Villa match where it looked like it will be a draw but then 2 goals, unbelievable. Tottenham saved their ass with those late two goals too.
Same here. I celebrated the equalizer almost like a Villa fan an then watched them score two more goals to give me my first wrong prediction of the week.

Ten Hagg needs to understand that you don't force the players to play well, your tactics and work on the training ground will be evident on the pitch eventually. He has not had an answer to many of the other top coaches and needs to changed or risk losing his job.
