So many games today in the FA Cup 3rd round. Strictly off topic as tris is a PL thread but whatever Cheesy
Will there be any upsets today, any smaller teams getting through to the 4th round with a giant killing performance?

What do you think guys?

Also may I just say RIP to Gianluca Vialli, a truly elite striker.

English teams are caring about the FA Cup quite much. Because of this they are starting the matches with a lineup close to their main ones. So the probability of seeing a surprise is lower. Today Tottenham barely managed to advance to next stage against Portsmouth despite having star players like Kane and Son on the field. I see Hull City having a potential to make a surprise today. I won't be very surprised if they eliminate Fulham.

Good luck bud, we still halfway to go so there is a big chance for you to win it. And after you get it, use the free bet directly lol. If none of big games play at that time, use it for less popular leagues Grin
We live in hope so I hope I will 😉

This round is one of the worst weekly performance I've ever had in the current season Undecided
Too many out of the box results. Too many draws. Leeds - West Ham, Villa - Wolves, Arsenal - New Castle, 3 out of 10 is a lot. Then we had Liverpool losing an easy match, I had no idea why I was backing Southampton etc. See 5 out of 10 wasted for me and then add Leicester - Fullham. But still to have 6 points from the round was not bad at all for me. I always target 10 to 12 points from a round.

Damn, what was Kepa doing yesterday? After all mistakes he made, I don't understand how can he be their 1st choice GK - especially in front of Mendy.

I had Chelsea not to lose, and that bet looked really safe before his mistake. Considering that Chelsea had to replace both Sterling and Pulisic in the 1st half, there wasn't much they could do offensively after that goal.

I was also blaming Kepa all night long even though it was of much advantage to me that they didn't keep the clean sheet but I saw England's No 1 choice in Jordan Pickford concede a very similar goal today and I felt maybe it's the modern day sort of keeper instinct not to react in such situations ? Because both goals looked very similar, and Kepa could have been excused for not being No 1 choice by default but due some issues with Mendy and injury too, but what would be our excuse for Jordan Pickford.

With how Manchester United have been picking up points of late, I don't think anybody will be doubting them to put up another solid performance this night and getting those 3points of course. A Rashford anytime goalscorer and Untd to win 2-0  Cool Anyone??

If you bet on United to win with a -1 handicap and that Rashford will score, then congratulations on your 97th minute save  Smiley
United (and Rashford) are indeed on an impressive streak, but they're playing against City in the next round. It's always an interesting derby and we'll be able to see how serious United's ambitions are this season.

United should win, sometimes in the early FA Cup rounds, managers rotate the squad & rest some of their stars. United have gone strong tonight though, it’s a really top class starting XI.

Everton are in real trouble, they look like a team that may be relegated. Lampard will be hoping a change in competition, away from their troubles in the PL will give them a boost maybe.

I still expect United to win this comfortably though, your 2-0 prediction seems sensible.

Maybe kepas contract guarantees a certain number of games that's why we keep seeing him, if it were me no doubt Mendy would be my number 1 in goal.

^  Yup.  I actually have high regard for Eddie Howe and I actually said I fancy him managing a club like Arsenal or a club in the same tier as Arsenal.  I think it was 3 - 4 years ago.  Some time before covid. 

So yeah..  Just amazed how he's evolved.  With Bournemouth score lines would usually be 3 - 2, 2 - 1, mostly over 2.5 goals matches.  With Newcastle, the defense is just solid.  And with that oiler money backing the club, they're gonna be a force that's gonna be hard to deal with.

With only a few signings, the team already appears to be balanced and ready to compete for top four and six at the end of the season; when the oil money is put to use, they may well turn into title contenders next season; they have the resources and a good coach who plays beautiful attacking football. From being the poorest-funded squad in 20 years to one of the wealthiest in the world. How quickly time passes. Cool

But would love to see it.  It's been a while since an English Manager won the league.

never won one. i don't think so

Oh right!  No English manager has won the title in the Premier League era...  So we have two in the top flight that could get a chance.  Graham Potter and Eddie Howe.  I think both have the capability but they'll need a decent squad and the timing like how Arteta at Arsenal is doing right now.  He needed some mishaps from City to get 5 points ahead.  I don't think it could happen s couple of years ago.

As for Graham Potter and Chelsea, does anybody think Chelsea would've fared better if they just stuck with Tuchel?

And what does City's performance say about their upcoming derby vs United?  Another low scoring affair?

Yes Kepa dont gave security in this times in the goal, i also think he can cut the ball in that cross, but we have to say also everybody who has played football knows that balls are complicated and also in the TV seems more closely or easy than the real life when you are playing.

I dont understand what is wrong with Mendy why he isnt the first goalkeeper in chelsea. But still Kepa was a good keeper before but now making lots of mistakes. I still think that Potter made some really wierd subs in the game and to sub those two wingers that are the best in the team costed them the points

Playing against certain teams do have adverse effect on the self esteem of their opponents, I could say Chelsea didn't play to win, even though that a decent amount of chance than I expected them to, but I reckon that if they had scored first in the match, it would have been a very difficult situation for Man City and I strongly doubt they'd have been able to get back on level terms, but in the end, the better team won, I believe!

Yes I think only a few teams play against City believing they can win. Currently that would be Liverpool and Arsenal now, Chelsea for reasons only they know always play like they might lose so go for a draw against City. The funny thing in this league is against Liverpool all teams believe they can win, which is something they should try more against opponents like City. Guess having Haaland in that team is enough to make most teams give up.

I think it is the motivation and the quality of the players of City that did make a difference in the yesterday night game.Chelsea leaked motivation,they were somewhat better than City in the first half but this was not shown in the second one,most probably because Guardiola must have motivated much better the players during the half time rest.City just wanted the three points to go back to 5 points difference to Arsenal while Chelsea thought if we get a point it is a win for us and this losing mentality is the exact reason why they lose yesterday,I agree with you.

Of all people getting a name change, well, well done. Should really make a campaign for myself to try a bit harder, though I suppose the name now sticks even for me.

Chelski put up a defence, I see... Did they even try to win?

Probably most of the fans were waiting for a much larger number of goals in the central match of the tour. It's a pity that City won even though it allowed me to score another 1.5 points in addition to the 5 already scored on this tour - lol, a very unfortunate tour. I would prefer Chelsea to win. Now Chelsea, even taking into account the game in the reserve, can only rise one line up from its 10th place. It is sad.

Fuck man! i put a bold prediction on Chelsea City, to draw 1-1 again that last ball of this young Hall, make the fucking goal man!!!!

Also all my bets ended in the trash. A good match to see but not a good one to bet.

P.S: Igebotz congratulation for your new username, i have to change the mine someday.

Both City and Chelsea are not in their best of forms, but it will be the defending champions that will be desperate to get back to winning ways as they can't afford to slip up again if they see themselves as challengers .. It's now all never, City has to settle for nothing but a win tonight to put pressure on Arsenal who are the current league leaders. 2-1 win for city here we go Smiley and this games result will decide who takes the yellow cap Tongue

It looks like a difficult game to end 2-1 since we are almost at the end of the first half and the result is still 0-0 showing exactly what most of us were saying here,a defensive play from Chelsea who would not risk to go in attack and get a lost game which would be devastating for them.The same for City now,a loss would also be devastating for them while a draw it means they will remain in the same amount of points difference with Arsenal,I am sure they will try harder than Chelsea though as they would love the three points to close somewhat the gap to Arsenal but so far 0-0 still.

Also the stats are near equal 47-53 percent ball possession,1-1 shots on goals and Chelsea had 2 corners against 0 of City,I am afraid we may end a draw this game tonight and a goalless draw may be.

I am on the other side of those bets

pretty usual situation Smiley
let's see what will happen tonight

but, as you said, City to win is probably most secure option tonight, goals are just higher value odds, especially to put o3.5, or as you wrote u1.5 with 0:1 score, Pep could learned something from Everton miss, and will try to score more than one goal, not to wait for shocker in the end, or not
