I would say both teams (Liverpool and City) were nervous. the whole season came in those two games, under normal circumstances, they would get it without much trouble. I as neutral in this case, enjoyed it to the fullest.

About our Sportsbet pool, congratulations to the winners (it seems that I am among them as the 10th  ), especially congrats to the top winner casperBGD, I'm really glad you're the best this season.
I guess there will be no spectacular changes here after the final recalculation by Superbru.

Damn, what the end of season. Offcourse, not that epic as City comeback against QPR, but still, it was great. Steven Gerrard did everything what he can to help Liverpool, same as ex LFC guy Coutinho. But with 15 minutes City made impressive comeback. Happy for Pep, after failure in CL, losing EPL title would be huge hit for him.
Liverpool game was nervous too, but in the end they did what they had to do.
Surprisingly, none of North London teams didn't choked and won they games by big margin. It means that Spurs goes to CL, while Arsenal returns to their beloved glorius Europa league .

About my own performance, I got into P19 in last round with one yellow cap during season. So, not great, not terrible. And from all 3 pools (EPL, La Liga and Serie A), I collected most points in this pool surprisingly.

That was quite a dramatic ending wasn't it ? I think I managed to stay 6th position after all which I'm pretty much okay with, but I we'll guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow for the final audit and confirmation SuperBRU, I don't think anything would change though.

Congratulations to winners, It's been one hell of a ride. See you all next season and hope there'll be some World Cup pool ? right if yes, then I'd rather we get to it early enough to get enough participants  


AFAIK, the total rewards and prizes are on the first post of this thread, and Hilarious would likely send them during the course of the week once he's received all winners addresses.

Phew just 3 points away from 10 place and 12 on the leaderboard as a final position.I never expected to be that high in the end,in fact I just needed Brighton and Leeds draws and I am sure I would have been 10th place without a problem.I enjoyed a lot this year pool and I got a yellow cap this year which was enough to give me joy although I passed it on to another user.

I already can't wait to start the next year pool,congratulations to all the winners.

wasn't watched matches, nature weekend without internet, but smiled after seeing results in Superbru minutes ago
great round to close it off, 8 results, 2 slam points, but Leeds brought me top spot, last two their matches with exact scores, and I am glad to see them avoiding relegation, was pretty sure that Brentford will leave them points after they smashed us last weekend in second half

congrats to City, as far as I know, they scored three goals in few minutes to overturn Villa, so everyone that thought Villa is not going to fight because 18 millions in hand has to question his beliefs, Premier league is probably most fair competition that exist

sad for neighbors fans, they were so close, it is hard not to mention that we finished 16th, and celebrated whole night, as winning CL and EPL together, and they finished second, with sadness, that is sport after all

As far as i see they have updated the results. A little laggy still when you try to get into the app but they have updated. CasperBGD is first. Tomahawk you are 7th and im 8th so this closes up the pool. Happy with the top 10 position and waiting for the rewards. Also what are the total rewards for each position and when will we receive them?

oi, where's everyone else? secretly celebrating City's title or what?  
well, only winner today is the city of Manchester. Brighton helped Man United stay in the europa league and Man City are the champions, pure ecstasy in manchester tonight

Gerrard's trending worldwide on twitter right now *sigh* Good performance from Aston Villa, but as soon as City scored the first goal, we all knew what was going to happen.
Nice to see Spurs are gonna play Champions League football, tbh i'd rather watch Sonaldo and Kane in the CL than Smith-rowe and Martinelli, great workd from Conte

Superbru is Superoverloaded right now, will comeback later tonight or tomorrow to congratulate our new EPL pool winner 👍

Did not think City would have this much problems. They have the possession but they are not very dangerous and if they don't change something I can already see Liverpool snatching this one from their hands.

Both Wolves and Villa did their part to make it interesting today

Man, Liverpool just want to do this the hard way... not even 2 minutes on the clock and they gave a goal away. We've been battering and hammering and only got Mane's goal (beauty assist from Thiago of course, but then his wayward pass led to a possible injury damn) but at least we're not behind at half time. Wolves didn't get so much chances but they've come so close... definitely a risk to leave Salah and VVD out of the starting lineup.

Of course, didn't need to watch the City game to know when Villa scored... entire stadium went up in a roar haha.

I'm so nervous Welsh, don't know how to be confident here =D

*listening to 'The Final Countdown' *  This is it. Final day of the season. What are you guys watching? I think City - Aston Villa will be a very dramatic game. I'm wondering who's gonna choke today, Tottenham or Man City? 🧐 *now 'Eye Of The Tiger' starts playing as he begins to make his superbru predictions*

in terms of domestic success and revenue, they're a big team. They've won more league titles than Chelsea and Spurs combined. They are among the most valuable football clubs in the world. Sure, they haven't won anything in ages and they lack history in UEFA competitions, but still, traditionally they're a top 10 club in england.

I'm going to do my final predictions, might be a few more changes than a few weeks ago. I think City with their weakened defense, could well drop points. I initially predicted a draw, and I think I'm going to stick with that. I'm going with a 1-1. Hopefully, Villa do us a favour. I'm confident against Wolves, so I'm going for a 2-0, but we could just as easily slip up here. Although, the boys should be going into the game relatively stress free as not many are expecting City to drop points here.

I think Leeds are going down, I don't see them rescuing themselves this season. Don't really have a score prediction for their game today. Probably one of the best final days in recent memories, since it's so tight up the top, and also down at the bottom of the table. I'm expecting drama today, as the final day usually does give you that due to the nerves.

I've to say the same and I know it's "easier" to look back and say those painful years have made the current ones all the more sweeter, but it's true I think. I always did feel my mood in the week somehow relied on the weekend results, and I've been more content and positive in recent years (not that it affects my work or real life in any way).

Klopp extending also the best news I could have expected (and did not) all season. I do hope we experience a slight ebb rather than a full-blown hangover though. But like you said, these things come in cycles. Football's not so different from crypto in that sense. Gotta enjoy the highs and appreciate there will be lows.


Neither did Benitez until he joined them heh!

Look, I don't know how to call clubs big or small... Barca women's UCL final last night was huge, and their attendance actually broke regular Barca's records. I've heard rowdier crowds from my local league in the 1990s where we couldn't have had more than 5000 people watching -- and heard quiet 20k 30k crowds stadiums in EPL. Liverpool for the longest time had barely 41k capacity.

Nottingham Forest and Derby are big clubs, Forest if you count them as Champions League royalty, but if they promote from the playoff next season, doubt many people will call them big.

Everton have history, have mentality, and deservedly so.

hilarious is right too, Liverpool need Everton, for the rivalry. No fun to jeer at them in their new posh stadium if they're playing in Championship...

By the way, until now I never saw Everton as a big team. But although not a big team, in my view Everton is a team that is at least in the middle of the standings and not the top six. Because the top six in the Premier League are the teams that are currently in that position in the standings, at least when they are not in the top six for example like Tottenham and Arsenal who were not part of the top six the previous season. I personally see it as something strange or not quite right because their position would be more appropriate in the top six, but not about Everton.

Yes,,, Everton never relegated and same as my team Spurs, and in fact, only now Everton is the one who almost got it, all other clubs have been very far away it never became realistic.

This explains the way I understand is why to some people the real Big Six: Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Everton. And why Everton see themselves as a big club right?

I wouldn't have wanted Everton to go down. I don't think they would have deserved it. They haven't been relegated from the PL before, right? Would have been a shame for them to go. No more derbies. They don't have a bad team really. I guess sometimes teams just don't gel or the results don't go their way. Leeds don't have a bad team either but they certainly missed Phillips and Bamford for most of the season. They should have stuck it out with Bielsa as well. He wouldn't have done any worse than Ted Lasso. Would be a shame to see Leeds go back down. Odds are certainly stacked against them with their goal difference so they need to win and hope Burnley don't get the full three points from Newcastle. Both Newcastle and Brentford are about the same right now and are even on the same points but Burnley are at home whereas Leeds are away. Neither really has anything to play for though so there's that.

I wish it was that easy for me to forget . Nah, I enjoyed our successes, and failures. It's a bit like Rocky right. Making the comebacks is always fun to watch, and now we're at the top I'll enjoy it while it lasts, which I imagine will be until Klopp leaves us. Then, I anticipate a hangover from that very much like United have experienced after Ferguson.

I remember being so nervous in the last ten minutes of every game, and thankfully with the players we've got now I never feel nervous. Even when we're losing with only a small amount of time left, I still feel calm, and actually confident.

Really nice predictions Everton was really close to draw honestly. I had both Chelsea and Aston Villa 2-1 to win and it ended 1-1 and there was really a lot of time for them to score and lots of chances but sadly no goal by them to win the game. Hopefully on sunday i can get those correct results

Villa doesnt need to win though, they just need to prevent City from getting 3 points and Liverpool needs to win the last game. Imagine that if Gerrard decided to hold up by putting all 10 players on the back just to prevent City from scoring goal further lol. Its definitely interesting, going to watch both of those games simultaneously on my screen


Thats not happening on EPL especially on the last game when the trophy is at stake though ( I hope not )

did not know that
with Everton avoiding relegation, and me without internet for most Sunday, I would hardly even follow what is happening in last round, but would like it more for neighbors to win Premier, than City

on a side, it is unbelievable how people in my country are thinking that Villa would take the money, and even help City if anything goes wrong, and we are questioning ourselves why our League is not interesting at all

Definitely disappointed that the draw I was hoping not to appear... appeared. Ings and Coutinho came in too late to save the game but hopefully that means they're fresh and prepped for Sunday. Not sure what Gerrard was thinking to put Watkins alone up front, but anyway, Sunday is THE day of reckoning. No team leading on final day has ever lost in in the Prem. Time for history right?


There were a blur of games during Hodgson's time where I probably felt I was in another universe, and objectively, my memories of that season when Salah/Mane/Firmino just burned everything in their path are markedly better than this season. Or even the season where we won the league. Especially those games where we just terrorised City and the best team in the realm had no answer.

We've gotten smarter with game management, calmer, wiser, so understandably, some of the thrill has gone.

My brain does seem to seek solace in those days when I'm quietly contemplating the prospect of losing one of those front 3.
