Honestly, this season just feels so discombobulated. The World Cup hasn't even started yet. I've been away for a few weeks, which is obviously contributing to that feeling, but honestly I thought it was a complete mess before then. It just seems no team right now, can keep their form. Arsenal, and City probably being the only exceptions there.

It just feels like everyone else is all over the place in terms of form. Liverpool obviously being the most obvious. I didn't see the game, but beating City, and then losing against probably the worst side in the Premier League? It doesn't really make all that much sense.

Seems a lot of teams are struggling with injuries too. I don't know, very difficult season to actually predict anything in my opinion. 

You are forgetting Newcastle which has been the most consistent team in the recent games and they are improving themselves from game to game.It would make no surprise to me if in the January window they get some really nice players in midfield and attack and then I would bet on them to win the Premier League,that is how consistent they have been recently.

Liverpool will also come back most likely,we had enough of lost games,unexpected draw results and sh*t like that,now only good things I predict lie ahead for us.
Must say that Newcastle really managed to impress me this season. They weren't that active in transfer windows so far after that take over but they bought smartly and made excellent decision to appoint Howe as manager. All these results are also coming for Newcastle while they are playing without Saint-Maximin and Isak, arguably 2 very important players in attack. They can only be more dangerous with those 2 back, granted Almiron managed to hit incredible form and made is even forget about their injury.

Phew, Spurs. Typical late rally. Every defensive player of ours save Robinson not at their best, Fabinho's been stuck in some hopeless run of poor games. But points are all that matter.

times are changing, and wishes with them, from title contender, now Liverpool is trying to reach CL, and it will be difficult with Arsenal, Tottenham, United, but also Newcastle (I would count out Chelsea from CL already)
Arsenal and Chelsea still without much fire, goalless

waiting for Newcastle, they are a good value @1.8, Southampton is playing same home/away, and bookies are valuing them more at home

Liverpool only know how to do badly in streaks under Klopp. Backing them all the way to do another 20/21 special though! You really think Chelski are out? They need Kante back, is all, and not another Sterling/Pulisic/Havertz etc silky pretender who wilts in Prem games.





I think we can stop calling them Chelski now as the mad Russian has gone and sold the club.  Sad

Anyway Arsenal!  I'm starting to see some comments online saying Arteta as something like a football tactical genius.  But is he?  I'm kinda back and forth about it.  He's a decent manager at the very least and the thing is Guardiola saw something in him when he made Arteta his assistant at City, grooming him to be his replacement at the time.

I guess the biggest test of the season for Arteta is going against his mentor.  :/

Aren't Liverpool all but a very strange team this season, I mean winning consecutive games against Man City and West Ham, then losing consecutively to Nottingham Forest and at Anfield to Leeds United, then they came away with a win at Tottenham, perhaps they'd be the second best team in the league, if they'll only have to play against credible teams except Arsenal.

I finished with 7 points, if the highest was 12.5, I don't think I can complain much, not after going through some of my choices for the week...

Strange results for sure but only if you take away all of the context I guess but both Forest and Leeds actually Liverpool played the general attacking game, and just couldn't score enough, while having same amount of defensive allowance.

Liverpool could have lost last night on another match, same amount of chances allowed but only 1 goal to Spurs. And they could have won against Forest and Leeds if they enjoyed same chance to goal rate at Spurs.

But still, I have missed both wins and missed good money. Meanwhile Arsenal won and I still lost bet because I tried for Betbuilder instead lol

I did really bad this week and I thought I would have lost quite some positions but lost only one and I said this was going to be a low scoring round yet I did not expect it to be this low for 10 games 12.5 points in total.Happy for Liverpool that made a great win tonight and also for Newcastle.

Now I see Liverpool is not far away from the top 4 and happy to see that Newcastle is also having a look at fighting for the title,they have been doing so well consistently in the last games that it is only natural for them to be just few points from the lead,if they keep this consistency and get new players in the January window they most probably are going to be serious contenders for the title.

They may look strange but to me they are just getting back on track to keep fighting and beating the hell out even the weak teams from now on,I have a strong conviction that they will do that.The wins in the Champions League and especially the last one against one of the best teams recently who are also leading the Serie A convincingly gave them a huge moral boost that was also translated in the game of yesterday night against Tottenham.

Yeah we should not complain for this round,as I said despite losing many points I only lost one position,it shows everybody did not do well in this round.

Yep, he's having a horrible season. I'm not comfortable with Alisson as well, he made so many mistakes on the ball yesterday.

For some reason (thank God for that) he always gets away with it though, yesterday again with that Kane press.
Throughout his years at the club we should have conceded 10+ goals because of his mistakes and we conceded maybe 2 or 3 times.

Easy money putting the Liverpool to win in the hardest games.
But in the easy matches they become Looserpool and not easy money in that.

I think Liverpool its experiencing the end of Kloop era sadly.
You can ask me, Why?.

Well here in Argentina i saw this kind of performance in River Plate managing by Marcelo Gallardo, they win every derby and every round or important matches, but they always lose against the most low tier teams, and that its because the players lack of motivation after several years of know they can always comeback and overtrhow the situation, no matter how far behind they are, but one time you cant catch the wagon and GG.

Aye, Newcastle were almost 2/1 as the match was a Super Boost special. I didn't, instead placed Toons on my acca and hedged it with a Saints small bet over 5/1 with that boost. Even without Maximin and Bruno they were special. Almiron is enjoying the time of his life, they're just probably a bit too careless with possession in their own half.

I think we will have very busy time during World Cup. Hope to see all of you across all these competitions.

Dropped these awesome comps in Clubtalk and will do it every now and then too, I think I saw a couple of names already from there, I think it's really cool to get new blood in.

Newcastle marching towards another great victory, definitely team in the form at the moment, they are pleasure to watch. At the same time Vila destroying United 3:1 with Ronaldo trying his combat skills sparing with Villa defenders.

Arsenal with very big win today. They looked in control for most of the game and I believe this is the moment when we have to acknowledge Arsenal as legit title challengers.

I only love traditional pools so I have only joined that one for the World Cup.For this day though,the games ended in some big surprise results,Manchester United lost game against Aston Villa and now West Ham conceding the goal of the defeat in the 94th minute from a boring Crystal Palace which I think very few people would predict a victory from them in West Ham home field.

Let's hope Tottenham vs Liverpool bring us some joy and some good points because only one point for me in all the 4 games played shows that there were as I said a lot of surprise results in today games.

Arsenal and Chelsea still without much fire, goalless
I had a 1 - 1 draw but before the match starts I changed it to 1 - 2 for Arsenal. After more 40 minutes, we will know if it was a stupid idea of changing it from 1 - 1 LOL
Come on Arsenal show some fire 😂

I had them 1-1 also but did not change anything because I thought the game would end as a draw but apparently this win shows that Arsenal is playing for real to win the Premier League title this year.I did not see the statistics that the last three games Arsenal had always won in Stamford Bridge,I don't believe much in statistics but if I had seen that I would also have opted for an Arsenal win.

The other games of today Manchester United is suffering but has just come back to 2-1 after being down two goals since the beginning of the game.Newcastle is the team that always get the result at home,at least until now they are winning and I doubt this will change in the second half.

Conte reminded at the press conference he cost us the title last season. We cannot let him cost us Champions League this one.

Soft pen but KdB had every right to go to ground and was the right call. Reminds me Mane the only one who could do that at the right time. Seen Nunez try a couple of times to poor effect heh. Oh, well, Fulham.

Anyway, what do you guys think of Liverpool to win and BTTS combo at 3.65?  Good value?  I know Liverpool has been losing lately but against clubs at somewhat their level, Klopp and his boys seem more motivated to get the W.  And I chose BTTS 'yes' because it's hard to imagine they'll get a clean sheet against Kane, Son and co.

Good value but no Son, so good for us. I will likely stick to my ML win for Liverpool. Saw today we have half the points of City and we are barely a third into the season. Hurt me a lot to see that. Conte reminded at the press conference he cost us the title last season. We cannot let him cost us Champions League this one.

@swogerino Leicester most away goals scored in league so still some value in Asian total to back up accas.

I must say that Everton has a great,better say huge problem when it comes to scoring goals.They created more chances than Leicester but Leicester was more pragmatic and they scored goals in their chances.This is a big problem for Lampard and most probably I think it is time to hit the sack for him as I don't see any improvement at all from Everton except sporadic games where they get some points.

Not being able to score to a team like Leicester which has the second weakest defense after Nottingham Forest I would say is a huge red flag indicating that something needs to be changed in this team.

Son is injured, if I am not wrong, but BTTS should be a good option, and I also think that Liverpool is going to win tomorrow, somehow they are playing better against top teams, comparing to Fulham and Nottingham

what about Chelsea and Arsenal, I cannot see Arsenal winning tomorrow, but BTTS should be in
quality football tomorrow, looking at Newcastle as well
I wanted to play both to score on games tomorrow but I am a bit afraid after all the games in early kick off today ended with that market passing. Spurs - Liverpool should definitely have goals on both sides, I am not so sure about Chelsea and Arsenal. I could see that one being decided by one goal. It is the London derby after all and somehow I believe they would both be quite happy with a point there. Don't see either team forcing it.
