No complaints from me by this United win, scored some much needed points in the pool and scored this little bet:

So, who's had the worse start to the season? United or LFC 
here the statistics are very interesting.
Man United had one of the worst season starts in PL, but they are still above Liverpool. who btw is one of the main favourites for the title.
Also, the last 10 years are among the worst years for Man United while Liverpool have the best. Stats says both won one PL title each, Pool had one CL and Man United one EL.
it is not a huge difference between the very bad period for UTD compared to the excellent period for LFC.

@18 odds,
close but no cigar
Needed one more yellow card for Liverpool, but these players are too soft-hearted. Bruno Fernandes delaying the game after Salah's goal, and the liverpool players are standing there doing nothing, two foot him you prats!

I expected United to win, so I even tried to guess the exact score and was close (look at the odds):
Anyway +3,8 also good. I can imagine how many bets Liverpool ruined today, by the way, like Juventus. All in all it turned out to be a profitable weekend for me, but mostly thanks to tennis, not football.

Same league, different matches, same VAR, same situation, different calls. Ofcose Chelsea got the wrong call. BTW both goals are onside.
VDJ is being exposed over and over! He's been awful since last season, keep running away from a 1v1 situation to protect his "never dribble pass" reputation.
Liverpool and Klopp realized how important Mane was to this Liverpool team after 15 games, when they are tied for 15th place with Everton.

Ofcose Liverpool! Nobody expected anything from the Europa League bond Manchester United.

If things ends like this,most probably Liverpool has as it clearly shows that they are in a huge crisis,only 2 points from 3 games I believe the fault now to be on Salah,he got the maximum pay on Liverpool history,made Mane go away to Bayern Munchen for this but right now in these 3 first games of the tournament he is clearly not delivering.I believe Liverpool to have put high hopes on him to lead the team but so far these hopes are not coming true.Klopp has to change the team balance to make more players participate in attack for the upcoming games,unfortunately though based on such performance I see it clearly a game over for Liverpool hopes to fight for the title.

This week started with a lot of surprise results and the first half of the last game is also a surprise result.The beaten up Manchester United from much weaker teams compared to Liverpool are now leading 1-0 with the first half that ended just now
Yeah that was kinda surprising even for me. I was expecting Manchester United to hold the first half but definitely not scoring but hey this is even more surprising because the score is now 2-0. Losing twice in a row and now we are winning against Liverpool, holy heck. I dont want to jinx this just yet because there is still over 35 minutes to go but its great atleast for now

will be interesting tonight, with or without Maguire
maybe meme makers would like to see Maguire in, since it will make their job much easier
nevertheless, with all stakes, I do expect Liverpool to win, but it will get harder if they do not score on time, United self-confidence could start to rise after goalless half, for example, with all said, I change Liverpool ML to BTTS as main bet

If somebody manages to walk away with money from bets on Premier League I will be really surprised. Of course not counting Buwaytress, he has probably tripled his bank today and then he will lose half of it on Liverpool tomorrow 
Chelsea losing made me some yeah, but I was dumb enough to put late bets on Newcastle and Bochum (hahaha). As you predicted, me being so predictable, I've put money on Liverpool... crap odds, I don't ever recall being favoured so heavily against United, but I suppose 1.6x winnings will cover back losses from late bets. Or lose it all =)
Even taking Maguire out hasn't budged odds!

I don't know much about it (in the Premier League 
) but it was enough to improve me by 12 positions.
Hopefully it will go so well for me in the next weeks

I lost 7 positions although I don't see it as a very negative week because the first place is just like 8 points away from where I located at 22nd place.We need a few more weeks in order to separate the true fighters for a winning position which this year in the pool will be a lot but I think the prizes up to the 10th place are relevant as those are at 0.01 which is 400% the amount we paid as the entry fee.I am not worried at all at such point even if I fall back a lot of places because there is a lot of time to bounce back.Beside that almost no one got any point from yesterday games except those who like to go against the predictable results.

I personally expect a huge win with a tennis result from Liverpool against Manchester United tonight.
I was expecting the same but now I hear a news piece that could screw with our predictions. Apparently Ten Hag decided to remove Maguire from the squad for Liverpool game. This could screw with our lots of goals predictions since United without Maguire can only be better defensively Still can't wait for this bottom of the table derby.

Just stop season now and award title to Arsenal. We have 60 players in the pool, but just few of them managed to get points from 3 today's games. I was surprised to see West Ham not favoured by bookmakers against Brighton, but seems that it was not without reason. I have no words about City abd Chelsea results today, but this is why we love EPL.
Tonight's match is another tough one and I have no idea what's going to happen. Liverpool are on back to back draws against shitty teams and Man U are on two losses to shitty teams. I think there's either going to be lots of goals and a lot of cards/action, or they'll cancel each other out and it'll be a 0-0 bore draw or something. Liverpool are obviously the better team and are the favourites but Man U have the home advantage so I honestly don't know what to expect. I'll be watching it so I'm hoping it's lively at least.
Most probably both teams want to restart their good run after starting the new Premier League season not in the best of the ways especially for Liverpool because Manchester United just started the way that they ended up the last season so not a lot to be surprised here.The surprise would be if Liverpool still does not win tonight,that would be a real surprise as we would see a team that these last years has always fought for the title to be in the bottom of the standings by not winning.

Whatever may happen, we are in for an interesting season, to say the least. Keep it up gunners and we're cooking
I don't want to jinx it, but it sure is nice to see the gunners at the top of the table.
Otherwise, it's been rotten weekend for my predictions, and it doesn't look like I'm alone. Very few points all around with all the upsets, and draws.
It was a complete bloodbath with my predictions too, I went completely off the railroad with most of them, just way too may upsets from one week, I could only get 2 close result outcome and 3 points in total
well having just 4 people on double digits show have averagely shitty the week is for almost everyone.Now I'm questioning my prediction for tomorrow's match, and I always pick Liverpool.
Would anyone get near even Man United to score at least a goal today ?, Let alone go all out for a Man United win, that'd be tough. I'm of the opinion that this will be a low scoring game even if Liverpool secure the full 3 point and regardless of Man Utd's goal conceding records in their last 2 games.

One other highlight of the weekend, however was seeing Jesse Marsch celebrating those three goals against Chelsea (sorry, igehhh.) I think it was the second goal, when he spiked the water bottle; he looked like a NFL linebacker taking a pick-6 to the house and spiking the football. That was funny as hell.

~I didn't see the Everton match, so I don't know what happened there, but I was surprised by the VAR and the ref reversal on that De Bruyne tackle. That looked more red than yellow to me too, but I tend to agree with Trofo... MC dropped points.
August 21, 2022, 04:26:14 PM
Different matches, different players, same situation, different call. It was far too soft for a red card, and I believe the Everton player was unlucky to get red for the same counter tackle. Well, what can I say.
I'd say they were different situations. The tackle on de bryune was above the knee, studs away from the body, and without any real risk of injury, granted it was a chance for a goal but that comes secondary with these types of tackles it seems. The everton tackle was more dangerous - ankle area with the studs facing the leg.
Imho, they both could have been red but some refs will have a preference either way (although a majority may be leaning more towards one decisions).
Arsenal sitting on top of the league is akin to an elegant sitting on top of a tree. They would run out of gas soon, and I can't wait to see the #ArtetaOut movement
I moved 22 places up!! It was a good weekend afterall from 61- 32nd position.
It was definitely not an obvious mistake. But I always love to see City dropping some points so there is that at least
