Congratulations to City on the Team of the Season award and to Liverpool on second place  Grin
Nothing seemed strange to you colleagues? Real Madrid who beat both of these teams and won the Champions League is only the third  Grin
keep in mind that Real Madrid were the second best team in champions league games against Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool last season, thanks to some Benzema pure finish class, but they were no better tactically than Manchester City and Liverpool..

It's good that Benzema took his legitimate Ballon Dor, at least there was no scam here this year, lol.
Well deserved, he single-handedly led Real Madrid to the Champions League title, I wish the 2020 event was never canceled, it would be so unfair if Lewandowski retired without a Ballon D'or trophy, dude won everything in 2020, too bad no competition was canceled except the Ballon D'or, I wish they could do something about it, I remember Messi saying in his 2021 Ballon D'or speech that the Ballon D'or host should reward Lewandowski his 2020 award.

By the way, what are your thoughts on United - Tottenham? BTTS No since 2.32? This is the simplest thing I see. BTTS Yes with only 1.61 odds not serious.
Both teams have good attacking players and a weak defense, but I'd take Manchester United to win at 2.41. Rashford, Ronaldo, and Antony appear to have found a common ground, as they have linked up well in recent matches.

Friendly reminder to all to put your predictions in.

Week 12 matches begin tomorrow!


what about Tottenham, they are holding great as well?
They don't have an advantage of 4 points against City and I see them more like cup team. You know a team that is more likely to surprise in one or two games and win against anybody then keep a constant throughout the whole season and be league champions.

Kane has been on point whole season while Son has been quite poor for the most of it. Spurs will need Son in his best form for any chance of fighting with the best teams. Richarilson and Kulusevski are solid players but they can't be placed in same sentence as in form Son.

I expected more from the Spurs this year, as well.  1/4 of they way through the season and I tend to agree with Trofo here.  After Son's performance last year I figured the Kane/Son combo could be dominant this year.  They reminded me of Salah/Firmino of years past.  It's still too early to count the Spurs out of contention for the title, but they definitely need more consistency from Son if they're going to get there.  Nonetheless, I wouldn't count them out of the top 5 when it's all over.

This victory which came from first bad performance by Arsenal this season actually makes me think they can lift the trophy this season.

TBH, i do not think that they are capable to do that
I would like to see Arsenal with a trophy, so much memes around them and EL lately, but not sure that they could endure whole season, especially with a WC break, that could push them into stagnation and they can easily miss few weeks without a win, which is enough to slip trophy in final score

hopefully, they will fight till the end

what about Tottenham, they are holding great as well?

Seriously though, are we taking Arsenal seriously enough? Beat Liverpool, Leicester and Spurs, okay lost to United, City have only beaten... who else in Top 6 contenders besides United?

Yes, but i see them yesterday and Arsenal doesnt play good, its the first time i see a team from outside of the big 6, make Arsenal strugled so much, Leeds could have won the match in the second half they have so many chance.

It was the worst game of Arsenal in the season so far. And leeds was in a really good shape. But luck was in Arsenal side.
Yeah, Arsenal should have lost yesterday, Leeds was much better in second half and Bamford even managed to miss a penalty. This victory which came from first bad performance by Arsenal this season actually makes me think they can lift the trophy this season. They always had the game but results were the problems, to win in PL you need to win ugly few times over the season.

Arsenal only lost one game this season and that was against United in a match where they were arguably a better side.

Congrats man, lady luck rewarded your faith big time today.

I was so sure this game will have a lot of goals in it so I lost a lot of money today. Had both to score on some tickets, had City win on some other and City to score at least 2 goals on my high stake ticket. So basically this one game killed all my tickets today  Shocked To be fair it wasn't the only loosing game on some tickets but if City won with result like 2:1 I would be much better off.

Thanks man, yeah. Such a dumb move for me really to use one big game to rescue my crap season, but in all fairness even if odds were only 2/1 I'd have done the same thing.

Of course, this was the first time in a long time I actually did NOT predict clean sheet for Liverpool vs Citeh, and then Alisson not only comes up with the goods but gives the assist.

5 goal involvements in 4 seasons. Not bad, ya?

Congrats to the Liverpool fans and to the degens who had the balls to take Liverpool.

I'd take the loss if we'd won every other game, tbh. But yeah, this game means a lot to us.

I have a big respect for the people who bet on Liverpool to win today.  Grin  Because it was really like Manchester City were a few steps ahead of them before this match. Liverpool were still struggling with serious defense problems and Manchester City were showing an incredible offense performance at the same time. I thought like there was no way Liverpool were going to stop Haaland.

However they really did and won by 1-0. Manchester City had a disallowed goal before Liverpool's goal due to foul as well. If Haaland didn't make a foul then things might have been much more interesting. Salah was really passionate in this match and he was the hero of the match. My prediction was a 3-1 Manchester City win by the way and it failed hard.  Grin

Really thanks man, but i have one clue on my side, Klopp always make Guardiola teams strug , and remembering that i put my prediction, yes it was a bold one because only 3/4 players select Liverpool if City wins the whole field can take advantage of us, but wells works fine  Wink.

PS: im darbit on the pool.

It's just one of those life's mysteries.  No matter what he does, no matter how better he is this season, no matter how he tries...  Even having the hottest striker on his side.  Klopp will always have Pep's number.  Lmao.  There's just nothing he can do.  I fear for City in the CL if they draw Klopp and his boys.

Congrats to the Liverpool fans and to the degens who had the balls to take Liverpool.

And this its 100% i dont know why its like a kind of magic.

Hey, what a game! There really should have been more goals on both ends of the pitch. Best thing to see was Nunez trying to score despite Carvalho and Salah clear on goal -- and then them applauding him when he failed. I know I should say worst thing to see was Klopp getting sent off but I think everyone liked that. Is it bad to enjoy that?

Rescued my season for sure, as had a heck lot on this game =D How'd everyone do?

I've surprised myself this week with two correct scores and the other two correct outcomes to come out joint first of the round so far. Need to start picking up some points cos I've been doing terrible this season.

Taking points from 7 of the matches this week is freakin' awesome.  Good job, congrats on taking the yellow cap.


The LFC/City match was pretty fun to watch, even if it was much lower of a score than most of us predicted.  I finally caved to the pressures of expectations, and set my prediction as 2-3 City, but I'm not bitter.  My two favorite clubs are Arsenal and who ever is matched against City.   Grin

Arsenal Chelsea United City acca looks very interesting, unfortunately my rose-tinted glasses can't see City taking anything from Anfield, so I've gone against my better judgment for a Newcastle/Liverpool acca at 9/1.

Liverpool odds have been improving as match approaches, which probably reflects money on the line rather than bookie expectations, haha. Done with betting on this game, last money on Liverpool DNB at 27/10, already put in quite a bit of ML money at 44/10.

Win and BTTS with a price boost still looking pretty at almost 6/1?

congrats on a win, for a team, and for a ticket

Arsenal is probably most happy with this score, they are topping the table, and have clear difference to Tottenham and City
and Salah scored, which is good for my FPL

this round was interesting for me, four exact scores from five guessed results, overall missed a lot, but exact score is making a difference

Rescued my season for sure, as had a heck lot on this game =D How'd everyone do?

The United made what many would call a surprise result and I also would call it a surprise result and I think that they played better but not that better than Newcastle and Newcastle had their chances which would have made a big surprise if they scored.

The draw was actually the likeliest outcome as odds balanced out but yeah, United will feel like they lost. Didn't watch but penalty call turned down and 2 Ronaldo goals chalked off sounds like a frustrating day at the Ten Hag office.

Not really bad to enjoy that.The fact that he got so euphoric after being in a winning position is normal in this highly tension-ed game,in the end he does not care that he was sent off as long as he got the three points.This was really needed from Liverpool because it gave another tone to the Premier League as Arsenal moved further away in the top while Liverpool got some positions up in the standings.

You were bold enough to bet on Liverpool and fully deserve the money won.I refrained from betting as I wanted to go for a both teams to score yes but then I was not sure and just watched the game,very happy for this Liverpool win.

Liverpool vs City are 0-0 up until now but I think it will happen a both teams to score yes here as both Liverpool and Manchester City would attack each other,Liverpool will attack much more as got nothing to lose while City should also win the game after the Arsenal win.

I always hate Crystal Palace what a shit mid table team.

With always the same team, only change a very few names for season to season , and always the same outcome.

Guaita as goalkeeper, Milivojevich shooting some penalty, and of course, the might AYEW and the forever rising star Zaha , i see this shit for , i dont know... 5 years maybe?.

Yeah we see this every year and they keep staying in the league. Such a disgusting team,i o most never pick them but they keep always taking the wins from me. Leicester just cannot win against them and i really wish that both of teams somehow get relegated especially Crystal Palace.

I had put them as a draw in the prediction 1-1 and I got a close result on them exactly for this reason,they are a very readable team meanwhile Leicester is not in good form and they are in the relegation zone so the most natural choice between two such teams was a draw.

Today are the real games of the week though with all the big teams playing their games today,the main event of course to be Liverpool vs City but all other favorites like Arsenal,Chelsea and United should win their games.
