Try living in a different timezone, and only being able to catch a few games a month unless you're willing to loose sleep (and possibly loose your job).
Who needs a job?  Huh

But I agree of course. Even without watching all games live we follow teams and replays and duscussions. I love the chats on forum even. Without that it feels like the days go longer!
That will make up giving the situation. In reality you can only watch about 2 - 3 live matches a week, 4 at most and still try to catch up with the replays and highlights of the others.
The chats are awesome too, I wonder why the banter section on Superbru is not active, but I guess is cause the banter goes on here.

I agree though with those people seeing value at a Liverpool win at 3.55 odd.
An attractive odd, but I went for a draw instead, that seems more likely.

Another Sunday to enjoy unpredictable football. I sometimes wonder how I cope on weekends without football during the breaks and especially how we pulled through the early lockdown periods.

Two tricky games today in Burnley vs Aston Villa and Newcastle vs Liverpool. Both away teams are slightly expected to win, but the home advantage swings the balance of the game fairly even.

City would win easy at Sheffield, no?

Sheffield United is a team that comes from the Championship and we saw what happened to Burnley which is better than Sheffield also coming from the Championship in the first game against Manchester City,they were easily beaten and most likely this will be the panorama of this game too.

In Aston Villa I agree that the favorite is slightly them but in Newcastle game seeing the performances of both teams I would say that the home team has a slight advantage over Liverpool during this game and I agree with the bookies in the odds that they have placed for both teams.I agree though with those people seeing value at a Liverpool win at 3.55 odd.

In the meanwhile Arsenal is being unpredictable and giving hearth attack to people that place stakes on them  Grin
They did indeed. I lost two bets where Arsenal was the only reason. My free bet was ruined for them too.
@Mouse, is this your champion team LOL. I think even before finishing the 30th round we will know your team is not is the race anymore 😉

I was on vacation and only yesterday night came back home so slept right away.I am shocked at the results of yesterday games,what the f*ck happened,did Premier League started weeks of huge surprises this early,we are used to see them near the end of the season here while I saw such week since the third one here,it means it going to be a great season.

Seeing Arsenal screwing up in their home against a really week team,Brighton losing 1-3 and Brentford drawing are enough to make this week full of surprises and hopefully the games of today come in as predicted.The only good I got from this week so far is an exact score from Chelsea.
My score in the pool is suffering LOL. Hopefully today it will suffer less. Like you I also had a good start from the Chelsea match.

Turns out there is a chance Chelsea is in the right track and just faced two hard oponents in the openings, after West Ham won away at Brighton.,while Manchester United might take their place as an expensive replacement that just play crappy  Grin

Notthingham Forest seems to be improving their away form but it seems they are not being able to get away points, but the goal dry is over.

In the meanwhile Arsenal is being unpredictable and giving hearth attack to people that place stakes on them  Grin

I was expecting Brighton to nosedive, put in the next round, this defeat was definitivaly not good for the pool and for my fantasy team, but let's see if I'll regret putting Salah in the team and how will Liverpool will perform away from home, last season they were good at home but kinda bad away and this will be a challenging game.

Anyone up for a side bet? 1mbtc or 2mbtc max.

Harry Kane will score more goals in this Bundesliga season than Haaland in the Premier League. Could be goals + assistis or 2 points by goal and 1 point or anything.
So far Kane has 1 goal in 1 game and Haaland has 2 goals in 2 games, therefore they are pretty much even.

Hmmm... I don't want such a long-term bet, I'm just arguing - isn't it obvious? It can be assumed that Kane will be close to Lewandowski's record (41 goals), and Haaland will be close to his record (36) at best. Also I'm not sure if Haaland's business will go as smoothly as last year, he's been criticized for not playing well in important games, who knows how that will affect his game.
I don't go for these type of long term bets where a single players fitness involves. May be Kane has better opportunity than Haaland to score more goals but one injury can change everything, Haaland included. There was another member who was offering Haaland to score under 33.5. Pretty sure if he is fit and can play all the matches, the score will be over 33.5 but I did not take the bet because it's a bet on a single player.

I'm not at all sure that Haaland will score over 33.5 since KDB is out. Plus, sometimes it happens that a player spends his debut season well, and then things go worse. Who knows if this applies to Haaland, but if I were to participate in such a bet, I would probably bet on Under. In addition, the Under bet can be hedged with bets that Haaland will score  Grin
May be you are right. It's only two games played by City so far and right now it's hard to predict anything for an individual player. Let's see what he does today. I always feel he will go over 33.5 goals.

Last night it was too bad for me in all pools LOL. I lost a few bets too including the free bet I had.

Everybody dropping points so far then except Man City so far I think. No surprises there really, they’re likely to win their 3rd game in a row, Sheff Utd are not going to lay a glove on them are they?

Hopefully Liverpool can get a win away at Newcastle tomorrow, will not be easy. Their fans always create a hostile atmosphere, can we survive the first 15-20 minutes in the pressure cooker that is St James Park?

Watched a lot of football today and I must say West Ham topping the league after winning 3:1 against both Chelsea and Brighton with possession around 20% is quite surprising. But you gotta hand it to them, they are very dangerous on counter attack, really nice ball control and finish from Bowen today. Something I don't think many players would manage to do.

Arsenal playing some really strange football. Seems like Arteta lost it a bit with all the formation tinkering. United turning 0:2 to 3:2 win could be the trigger to give them some confidence and better performances going forward. Rashford is definitely much more dangerous on the left than as striker, mini Haaland will be good for them even if he turns out to be a flop.

West Ham's attackers are clutch - they only need three opportunities to wreak havoc when it is least expected. I feel better now that we lost to the league's leader and title contender. West Ham are the true embodiment of "good games don't always win you games." How will Kudus survive this Moyes Haram football?

Arteta's attempt to justify Kai Havertz's spending while also accommodating Partey and Rice in the team is interfering with his game strategy. It doesn't feel right for Partey to play RB to make room in the centre for Kai Havertz. It's insane.

Great second half comeback from Manchester united - another reason why Erikson should be playing ahead of Micky Mount.

Today could not have gone any better for David Moyes and his Hammers. They were lucky to go in front early and that gave them the liberty to sit back and make life difficult for Brighton which they did to perfection. B&H were able to hold the ball in harmless areas, but as soon as they tried advancing to the final third WestHam quickly closed down the spaces limiting their creativity and fluidity.
Typical hit and run strategy working to perfection.

If City win tomorrow they will be the only side to be 3 for 3, and that is a side you will not want to get a clear sight of the title early on.

...mini Haaland will be good for them even if he turns out to be a flop.
This cracked me a little.

Anyone of you see how much was the odd when Manchester United was losing 0-2 against Nottingham Forest?, Because when i can reach the computer the game was already 1-2 so i dont know really how much has reach the high odds in that match, im talking clearly of Manchester United to win.

Asides of this fact, Manchester United its looking really bad, today they can only recover because NF after the two goals retreated so much in a very early stance of the game. But against a good team they cant have this chances to comeback.

About Brighton.... like every litle team, when they have to win to start making a gap they lose.

@Jayce : whats up with you mate? 4 exact scores out of 6 games and another 1.5 points for close result, dang you are on fire this round !
Mighty impressive result from Jayce, especially in this round when it was quite difficult to get it. Yellow probably already in the pocket.

West Ham parked the bus and waited for counter attack and it paid off really good. Brighton pushed but just wasnt lucky to score a few goals. West Ham really was good with counter attack and with them winning i gained zero points. West Ham has a good defence and with it they can be in top 5 for sure if they continue like this.

Crazy games going on but my connection decided to be crap today. Brilliant idea, though. I've put 1mbtc on a tidy Wolves win:


Now you guys just need for the draw tomorrow to split that 10 mbtc



Damn it United, It was pretty shocking but oh well 3 points are 3 points nonetheless but Ten Hag is going to have alot to do after this, if Nottingham Forest could score 2 goals under 5 minutes I wonder what would happen if they play against City

@Jayce : whats up with you mate? 4 exact scores out of 6 games and another 1.5 points for close result, dang you are on fire this round !

And I chose to go H2H with him at the wrongest of timing! Lol.

_____________


What in the name of tactics is Mikel Arteta playing ?? having Ben White as CB with Gabriel fully fit is cluster-f*ck already enough but having Thomas Partey at right full back have got to be joke of the season so far! If he needs to drop Havertz to have Odegaard at 10 or 8 he should do it, damn it! Arsenal aren't possession starved enough for him to keep trying to make Partey, Rice, Havertz and Odegaard work for a formation that needs only 3 of them for and making the defenders look like utter idiots, and if he's hellbent on playing a double pivot, I don't know what Havertz is a starter for, or If it'sactually a deep lying playmaker he wants to make out of Declan Rice, the why the f** would you still pair him Partey, Odegaard and Havertz, and have the become less creative on the flank that Partey is supposedly supporting om.

Maybe I'm the only one missing something or getting the wrong narrative here ??

Arsenal couldn't play good at all even in the matches they won this season. They lost 2 points against Fulham with 10 players by not being able to maintain the score today as well. Arteta should absolutely change something.

We’re gonna batter Newcastle tomorrow, this is when Klopp’s men start to stamp their authority on this league again……

*Then I woke up, that was a nice dream*

Being serious, I fancy us to win if we can get through the first 15 minutes without conceding. Will be a very tough game but our attacking options are maybe the best in the league.

I hope that you turn out to be right. You can be sure that I'm supporting LFC at least as much as you this season. A lot of news have started to come out about Salah. I hope that these news don't confuse him.

Newcastle will expectedly come in for a draw. They did it a lot last season against the top sides and will likely continue the same pattern this season. They are also good at keeping a game balanced and limiting goal scoring chances. I will expect the match to remain goalless for the first 15, possibly the first 45 too.

omg united trolling us in 4 minutes the game starts they are down to 0-2
Felt like the old United for a second.

Damn man, I was too slow. I made separate bets on Nottingham Forest already haha. 2 goals up already in 4 minutes but United's just pulled one back, boo. Fulham was even better odds but I don't trust them without Mitrovic.
