Really counting the days to this league, seriously. Might actually miss first few games as on hectic travel schedule -- travelling now is such a bad idea

Do what I've done, and basically guess well ahead of schedule. That way you'll probably be like me, and get one point rather than zero. I'm actually probably going to put in some more predictions this week, since I'm away from my office, so I'll have a little more time to do recreational things rather than work. Although, I'll definitely be looking to make the most of this bloody hot weather we have too.

I've already predicted the rounds that I know I'm going to be away on a expedition. I definitely don't expect to get any scores correct there, as I have no idea how teams will be looking with form, injuries etc.

The smallest club in London will never sing the CL winning anthem. I hope Conte leads you to some silverware! He's a winner; the club should support him and give him time to integrate the players.

That may be so but at least if and when we do win something,,, the achievement will be so much sweeter to savor for club and for fans

I believe there is a huge difference in the kinds of celebrations you can see on the faces of players and supporters when their club is expected to win things and when their club is not.

Thank you

Sorry for a bit of OT, but where is the old CL pool? I actually think I should have won something in that one Grin

It is never off topic when we are all in the same pools and CL is anyway related to EPL in a kind of way hehe. The topic is here, which I realized also now after visiting it I did not look at it since May! https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoinnewscoms-uefa-champions-league-football-preditor-pool-discussion-thread-4919683

I believe all prizes were paid, but go contact buwaytress if he did not pay you Wink

I just looked it up and there isn't much information as to when the next round of the pool begins, and I'm also aware that the Champions League this season will begin a little late, but I'd love to join because I'm a huge fan of the CL. My club (Chelsea) is taking part, and I believe we have a good chance of winning this season.

Wait! Is there going to be two CL pools this season? Icopress said he was going to host for Betnomi, correct? Are you hosting one as well, buwaytress? Please provide me with some information.

Oh and CL also my favorite. Even if Spurs play in Europa I prefer to watch CL if my team does not play!

Yeah thanks icopress, Trofo, all, for weighing in. Definitely agree this is the far better route. We actually ended up NOT having a proper pool last season due to a lack of interest and perhaps, that's partly due to a lack of sponsorship. And that was really quite sad for me too personally, because we actually had the pool up since 2018 and then it just seemingly had less and less interest.

Though really, I've played pools all my life where the pot is 100% fee so I guess this forum is built a little different!

It's also my favourite competition! If I'm being objective, I'm more likely to watch 100% of UCL games than 100% of Premier League games, and while I'd watch very few EPL games where Liverpool or a top 4 isn't playing, I'm almost always down to watch any UCL fixture I can get. And I'm 100% sure I'm watching EPL because of Liverpool -- whereas I was watching UCL for almost 10 years when we weren't in it.

@icopress let's move this forward next week Wink

World Cup is far better than the CL. I think one of the reasons the CL pool wasn't as popular was there wasn't much to win in the pot but if Betnomi are putting a lot of money in that will probably change and could likely rival this one in numbers now.

agree on CL, with few partipants, and without sponsorship, it was mainly for enthusiast, and there was a few, if remember correctly, we were below 10 last season, after several rounds, when new pool is announced

with sponsorship, it should be more, but I do not expect miracles either, 15-20 maximum, WC should bring more participants, it is when there is no other pools and football, short and fast pool, and should have at least more than CAF pool, and probably more than that

Thank you all for the discussion, and thanks to some of the guys who PMed me some good arguments.

The funds that I wanted to use to create another Premier League pool will be used to create a Champions League pool.

Thanks for listening to the feedback. This works out better for everyone and it's actually probably a better option than La Liga as I'm sure the Champion's League is as popular if not more than the La Liga. There's still a while before the CL starts as well so there's plenty of time to drum up interest rather than rushing to try compete with this one which would have 100% effected both pools. I usually run the CL one as well but I guess I'll just let you just take over that one instead since that solves the sponsorship issues we normally have.

If I recall correctly hilarious organized a Champions League pool a couple of years ago but I don't see him doing it again for this year so yes most probably to get somewhat near the number of participants of the Premier League I think Champions League can be a really good option.Not a lot of people are really fans of Champions League like they are in Premier League or their local leagues but surely in the final stages it can get hot in the Champions so I think a decent number of people may join there.

Champions League is actually my favorite competition and I am joining that one for sure. I was really sad it did not get love it deserves here in forum, after all it is top football competition in the world. No other competition has that quality of games and numbers of star players, especially after we get to later stages. Not even World Cup or Euro can compete with it quality wise. Of course national tournaments have other things going on for them like they are played every 4 years not every year and that makes them more interesting.

Yeah, I'm still undecided on Nunez, although I have high hopes.

Quote from: Igebotz on July 15, 2022, 11:42:52 AM

Are you implying that Salah is a bitter loser? No player with sportsmanship would object to his club congratulating a teammate, and Salah should have been the first to congratulate Mane. Nothing like managing morale; it's more like respecting Salah more. It's all over now.

I don't know, I don't know him personally Tongue

. Although, it was quite obviously effecting his performance. Salah wasn't the same player that he was going into that tournament, which I think most can agree on. Whether it was a natural dip in form or because of the result, I don't know for sure.

I do think managing morale is important, and that works both ways. Although, I do find it hard to believe that Mane wasn't supported, since Klopp is known to be close to his players, and also has great man management skills.

Nice choice, but I would prefer the Europa League pool because it has more games, is more competitive, and is more difficult to predict than the Champions League, but yes, the Champions League is a great choice because it would attract more members than the Europa League. I'll be a part of it.

Quote from: Welsh on July 15, 2022, 10:55:50 AM

Yeah, but we've also got to think of Salah too here, and you might say that's prioritising him. However, imagining you come back from losing the final, and probably partly blaming yourself, and then your club is throwing a part for the player you were directly up against. It's all about managing morale.

I have no doubt his departure will affect us. I'm not sure how much Nunez will make a difference at the moment, but looks like a player. Diaz has looked brilliant though, so I don't think we're out for the count yet.

Nunez's poor first touch would make it difficult for him to adapt, as he has Lukaku's first touch and Halaand height. Diaz has adapted well to the league, but his finishing and final third pass still need to improve.

I still think that Diaz and Salah will need a lot of time to be combined toghether even tho they played last season togheter a little. We have seen honestly from Diaz that he will be a great substitute for Mane. Brilliant player and i think he will replace him just fine

I don't think so. Diaz has slotted in almost instantly. Literally, looks like he has been playing for us for years. That's what I was so surprised by. I don't think I've seen him have a bad game in a Liverpool shirt yet, and almost always made an impact if he was starting to being subbed on.

I'm not too worried about Diaz. Nunes will take a bit to slot in probably. He haven't really played with a player like him for a long time, and he isn't like Mane or Bobby. I can't say I'm overly familiar with him, but when I have seen him he has looked dangerous. Is he a Liverpool player? Only time will tell.

I mean, Liverpool commiserates with Salah more than they celebrate Mane's victory; Chelsea threw a welcome party for Mendy and fluent him on our social media pages for a few days to make him feel loved; and I hope you understand I'm not trying to school you on your own club. Simply stating the obvious. And I sincerely hope that Mane's departure has an impact on Liverpool's season, allowing us to overtake them.

This is good to hear, I was always surprised why the CL pool doesn't attract more players.
Now with a good sponsorship deal it should have no problem getting 30+ members.

Good call, CL is as close as you can get to PL - for some even more important and luxurious.

that is great news, CL pool has small numbers of participants, and it is sponsored by our member buwaytress
having bookie sponsorship will probably increase number of participants for the pool, but bear in mind to start advertisement on time, since that is usually an issue of lacking participants, it start lately, after top leagues start initially
