International break sucks. For me as long as Kane and Son do not get injured I am happy. South Korea has a tough game against Iran and that is the games I always worry about. Kane is great but Son is the most important player for me.


That is really sad to hear swogerino,,, have you moved somewhere else or is this temporary? I think if you PM Steve he can see if you have any option of access. Currently my location allows me but if I use to connect from my office, where the private connection is located in a different server it also does not let me, so I know the location exclusion is purely based on the server location (since my work is in the same country).

That looks good too but I cannot access anymore Sportsbet site from where I am located now and that is why I had already decided to give the prize away even if I was the only person winning the yellow cap.
Rdbase can do that instead of me and send us all mbtc as you say,I like the idea but in the end is his choice.

yeah, after City demolished them prior to international break, they were stuck on the bottom, for a two weeks break that you cannot change
but, they will "last to have laugh" if the season finishes with them on CL spot, which is highly realistic looking at the table

and Ronaldo can go to retirement if all that happens

Waha @Trofo I do remember,,, and I think the people who had the most fun seeing Arsenal like that of course was Spurs. But then karma bit us back and then just 3 games later they were above us  

Very short round with rather predictable results in the end I would say,,, I just wish some of my "against the flow" bets would turn out.

Well done to swogerino and rdbase for getting the double yellow caps And why not instead of giving away freebet, put it on 100x bet, if you win, you can send us all mbtcs  

Arsenal looks really good at the moment and they are taking points against everybody under them which should be more than enough to take that 4th spot and they deserve it. If they up their game against teams like LFC and City next season when all this youngsters have a bit more experience they could even have a shot at the title but that is stretching it a bit. Remember all the fun we had when they lost first 3 games and you could not even see them on table before accepting cookies They came a long way.

Chelsea has struggled in some of their last games, late goal wins. For a long time now, it seems to me that their 3rd place is more endangered than Arsenal's 4th.
if we looked, Arsenal has the most constant form in this group (Man. United, Chelsea, Tottenham). The only games they couldn't do anything was against Liverpool and Man City. To be honest, judging by performance, Arsenal deserved to be in the top 4 at the end of the season.

This week was the week with the least number of games,maybe it was a behind schedule for the matches that weren't played due to Covid 19 in December 2021.The fact is that for the first time this year I got the yellow cap but the same as last year it is divided with someone else.

Last year when I got it my name was second and that of conradicals if I remember correctly was first and only he got the yellow cap.This year my name is first and rdbase second.In case the rules haven't changed I should win the yellow cap.

If that is the case if hilarious and Sportsbet representatives agree I want to give the free bet to rdbase and don't want it.I had already planned if I had won the yellow cap just me,to have given away to the very next person who would have replied after me here but since we are in this situation I want to give it to rdbase.

looking at table, Arsenal is closer to position 3, than to position 5, it is a really good position to clear CL spot for next season
there is a fact that the squad is unexperienced, and could make losing strike in last few rounds, but I believe they can do it, especially seeing competition where there is no team that can make winning strike

Couldn't get home in time and am still way out from home so had to keep eyes on text updates but am sure most of us got Arsenal to win. Just probably not by such a slim margin. Villa did not register more than the single shot on goal, very surprising given how good they looked in the recent games I watched.

Gerrard will feel comfortable with where he is now and this was Arsenal on the rise. Did lose bets on Villa ML though.

I think everyone had 1-2 for Arsenal and it ended 0-1 and first and second player on the table got 1.5 more points then other was hoping at least 0-2 so that everyone in top 10 mostly get 1.5 points but now they have increased their lead . Always get closer then they make a difference against me . Still a lot of games to go

The last two EPL matches have had my hopes really up that I'd get some points, first it was Everton with injury time heartbreaker then, yesterdays it was Wolves giving up a 2 goals lead.

I've got Arsenal for 2-1 win today, and they had a perfect first half, btw the odds for getting all 3 points here for me is slim, but I'll make do with the 1.5 if they're able see this through.

This is another example that when you watch a PL match you do not sleep 😉

How could you miss superbru user Ulven?

Well I got to sleep after the first half ended and knowing that I had 2-0 Wolves as a prediction I thought the maximum that can happen is them scoring more goals,so at least one point I will get for sure.When I woke up this morning and checked flashscore I was shocked by seeing 2-3 for Leeds a team that lately has been suffering a lot with tons of lost games.I guess it was that red card as Wolves are not used that much to play with 10 players,I think it is the first time I see a red card for them when they play at home.

What a surpising win by Leeds. I think that red card changed everything,but didnt expect they would even lose and concede 3 goals in 30 minutes. I think everyone at one point of the game had 3 points . No body got any points in this match so tommorow will be really intresting.

Whilst maybe they shouldn't count Sportsbet have paid the shorter rounds out before.

Leeds players are dropping like flies. 2-0 at half time. Bamford has gone off and looks like it's serious. Wouldn't surprise me if he's out for the rest of the season now. Lorente limped off with what looks like a back injury and then Klich off with a nasty head injury at just before half time. They've only got one sub left now going into the second half. Phillips is on the bench but hoping he doesn't make an appearance as they can't afford to have him back out injured.

Edit: now their keeper Meslier has gone off injured.

Well that was certainly an interesting second half. Didn't expect Leeds to get any goals and then they went and got 3 to grab all 3 points. It's going to be interesting to see the aftermath of all the injuries and how long the players are going to be out. Bamford was crying on the bench so I think he knows he's going to be out for a while. Hopefully Meslier was just winded as they can't afford to lose him.

Thought Ancelotti was prised away to Real but seems you were right. Did a quick lookup and he appears to have felt like the club lost faith in him after a 10th place finish (but really, that was also a run of bad luck) and then decided he'd go before he was pushed out.

Richarlison - I regularly settle with him if picking a player to score and he's even in my fantasy team (abandoned long ago) but yeah, he's more of a lone wolf than a team player, though he was among the first to run to Iwobi to celebrate and can't say he doesn't give work rate. You just don't feel like the team rally around him when they need to dig deep.

Definitely something wrong with them. Ancelotti was a coup and, arguably, even Rafa. Now they're stuck because they stepped into the mud.


Sorry, casper, but they were so bad. Iwobi's goal only just made up for his wayward play the entire game. And 14 mins extra time yeah, I was even expecting more also because of the red card VAR that took 5 whole bloody minutes.

Tonight Wolves also got 8 minutes 1st half injury time -- which ended up being 11. Allowed the only corner of the game to happen, and a yellow leading to a goal, otherwise regular time was full of Wolves chances that Jimenez screwed up.

Notice a lot in the pool went for 1-0 wins, and that had been previous picks for me but forgetting Sunday win, Wolves have been scoring 4-2-2-2-3-3 goals in their previous 6 wins!

agree, it is always a booger to play on your team
at least we are in a bit better position regarding relegation fight

TBH, we did not deserved to win, I was satisfied with a draw, since Newcastle is in really great shape lately, but was sure than it will not finish 0:0 when referee showed 14 minutes add time, as one overtime half

There were more interesting things happening around the pitch then on the pitch between the teams. First we had that tie to the post incident and then later on Lampard broke his arm celebrating the goal. If that did not show how much it means to him....

I was quite sure Everton is not winning this one, so another ticket went down the drain. My pool rank fared even worse Good thing we have only 4 games this week.

DCL fell of a cliff in terms of form from what I can gather, and they've just not played as a team when I've watched them. Rafa obviously didn't have a great time after they got rid of Ancelotti, and he sold one of their better players. Richarlison or arguably is their best player, just strikes me as an individual rather than a team player. They were building up the foundations pretty nicely I thought. Lewin's form was always going to be temporary though, they likely needed to hold onto Ancelotti, and let him build up a team over a couple more years, instead they ruined that by tossing him to the side at the first sign of struggle. Now they're paying that price.

Everton must be so frustrating if you're a fan of them, since they pretty much nail the appointments they needed to make to better themselves, but then they pull the trigger way too soon, and undo everything they've actually built.

Meanwhile,,, guys like me are doing our best and we just cannot get close to the top. But anyway, well done to everyone up there, the games are getting so tough to predict, well they always are anyway, and it is very good and healthy I think to see this happen. It means we have great experts and it means we have now the identities of all the good gamblers
