Wow,great equalizer by Brighton which gave me an exact score for today after failing miserably yesterday by getting 0 points in the two games that were played.I thought that Crystal Palace should have won this as they were playing well,and mostly their goalkeeper had a wonderful night tonight by making a few sensational saves otherwise Brighton would have won the game.Happy to be still first in the standings after 6 rounds now.

Wow! You're increasing the pace than Tomahawk did last season, at least it took him a few weeks before topping the leaderboard and the rest history after that, as he never looked back, it's was a great feat and it's rather way too early to say you'll be able to keep the season trend, but it's a job well done so far..

I had Brighton to the game win 2 - 1, but Palace were the better team in the opening half, while it was Brighton after the break.

Had no idea Palace - Brighton is local derby. Just heard commentator saying how Palace will die on the pitch before they let their arch nemesis Brighton claim top of Premier League. On the other hand if Brighton wins this would be their first time ever on pole position in PL. Really a game with much higher stakes then I thought initially. Maybe I was rash with my both to score pick, I usually avoid that market on high intensity games.

yeah, Zaha scored from penalty spot, and that made Crystal Palace ahead, but it is a tight, or we can say a bit boring match
Brighton had good start, but all teams that they had played so far, were with teams that will probably fight in the lower part of the table (except Everton that easily won over them)

second half just started

Another tight, tight game, but Palace ahead from a Zaha penalty, and a low scoring, low card, low corner 2nd half beckons. Monday night football just feels like Monday night football, huh, guys. Need Brighton to get one more and get me some more points to end the week on a high.

P.S. I almost forgot Benitez was at Everton. Was watching all the weekend highlights building up to tonight's game at Palace, and then saw Rafa at the tunnel. Fairplay, but he won't beat his old team any time this season =p

I apologize to anyone who predicted Spurs

As an Arsenal fan, no apology needed!  Grin

Sorry to rub it in, but it was it sure is nice to see the Gunners firing live rounds and not duds as they had for the first three matches of the season.  Three wins in a row, Arteta must be a genius.  I can't believe anyone would ever talk bad about him.  Wink

Another big win for me this round; I'm no longer at the bottom of the leaderboard!  Yaaaay!  Sorry to Welsh for trading places.  Well, at least I'll be polite enough to say I'm sorry.  Cool

After today's results, I think I should retire from EPL pool. If someone think that they perform bad, just hold my beer - 1.5 from 7 games today. Brentford 3:3 Liverpool - how it's even possible? What a game it was! Ok, I can't complain that I didn't predicted upset in this or MU - Villa game. But this season I always back wrong side in 50/50 games like Chelsea - City or Watford - Newcastle. Tomorrow games including North London derby also doesn't looks easier to predict. So, wooden spoon, here I come!

You didn't do so badly in the end actually, since most of us in the middle got 3 points to 6 points and only a handful of users got more than 10 points. A round full of draws which I guess makes it tough for people going for favorites. I feel like I did worse slipping down to 9th position and still one more game to play, while the lead at the top look like it finally broke free.

I apologize to anyone who predicted Spurs, on behalf of my team, but I also want to remind everyone when it comes to Spurs,,, be prepared for maximum disappointment and minimum satisfaction, hence three 1-0 wins followed by 3 games letting in 3 goals each.

Son and Kane will find a way to score again but not when our team is just so weak at the core.

I predicted Arsenal to win, and that seemed to be an easy to guess
Arsenal had rough start, but international break did miracle for them, and three wins in a row prove that they will be contestant for Europa league/conference this season, after bottomed in first three rounds

they are having tough times as a team, but there are far worse teams in Premier than Arsenal, Tottenham at the moment being one of them

Leeds is giving me hard times, they are real bad at the moment, hopefully they will improve
on the other side, Everton is having another good start, which is great Smiley

Well, Brentford do have LFC's recruiting strategy on a smaller scale (or so I read yesterday) so I'm not really surprised at the draw.
Yeah, draw between these teams isn't biggest upset this season, but result - 3:3, it's impossible to predict such result. But I'm really glad that Brentford is doing fine in EPL. I followed this team in Championship for few seasons already and I wanted to see how they perform in EPL.

Same for me, mate Wink Very poor performance from Spurs. Their name isasociated with loses this weekend - first Joshua lost to Usyk at Spurs stadium and now Spurs had no chances in North London derby.

Wow Spurs. 3 games into the season, they were top, Arsenal bottom. 3 games later, whipped badly and they're in 11th, one place below the Gunners. How cruel fate can be in football!

Only one game left to make a difference tomorrow, I'm not too far off the bad pack (3 points from 2 games) so am guessing the draws wiped out most of us (I surprised myself, thought I'd added in a draw or two on the weekend games actually) but I think we can safely give this week's yellow cap to Big G, who may still end up getting 16.5 points after tomorrow.

Brighton top of the league after 6 matches? Never say never.

I literally had the guts that Arsenal would and I've got a couple of Bucks on them, It's Tottenham that I really just can't get a hold of... It's all gone from bad to terribly worse for them, and ironically it's been since Kane got back to the squad.

As for Arsenal the first of fixtures just weren't nice to them at all in my opinion and having watched what Brentford are capable of especially against Liverpool yesterday, it felt as though Arsenal losing them on game day 1 has been justified.

Not so bad week I've only been right on just 4 occasions this game round, but I'm joint 2nd for the week round.
yep never seen it coming for Arsenal winning today against Spurs especially when Nuno team had a great start of the season winning 3/3 games but now after this they are on 3 defeat streak.
The one who was assaulted and did not complain, most likely she got used to that and nothing separates her anymore ,Or perhaps in a previous season she wanted to show us her virility and every defeat makes a fuss as if she had never lived it.
The Gunners searched their archives and found some weapons of the golden season, when London was in their name and they eliminated the intruders in the first run.. and they assured us that Harry Kane is dying this year after I thought it was just a rumor.

Same as me today,I never expected Arsenal to show the performance that they showed today,I had a 1-1 draw which 75% of all pool participants had also,the rest had winning Arsenal and only them got a point or close one because no one predicted 3-1.I had a 0-0 draw on Southampton game as I thought at least a draw they should have gotten playing at home.It is very close so far with just 15 points dividing almost 20 first positions in the standings so there is a lot of time to recover for everyone.

there's absolutely no way Bruno fernandes will ever take a pen again when Ronaldo is on the pitch...that was the worst penalty kick i've seen in a long time  Grin #OleOut about to go trending 🤣

Probably Fernandes feels more pressured by having Ronaldo on his back than the opposition fans trying to put him off. I think CR7 will now start taking the penalties.

I think this season is shaping up to be the closest title race in a long time.

I'm expecting Arsenal and Tottenham to make a draw.Both teams look weak and predictable.
The draw between Liverpool and Brantford might seem shocking,but I kinda expect Liverpool to make such mistakes.They've done it in the past.
Anyway Man United vs. Aston Vila was hilarious.Why the hell did Bruno Fernandes perform the penalty.
I thought that Cristiano Ronaldo will perform all the penalties... Huh
Man City vs. Chelsea was a pretty much expected outcome.I think that Man City will win the Premier League again.Pep Guardiola knows how to win trophies,even though he kinda sucks at the Champions League,after he left Barcelona.

Brentford 3:3 Liverpool - how it's even possible? What a game it was!

Well, Brentford do have LFC's recruiting strategy on a smaller scale (or so I read yesterday) so I'm not really surprised at the draw.

Finally got my first exact pick of the season with Everton - Norwich, was close to having a second on but I changed my Leeds score to 0-2 after reading about their injury drama.

Arsenal to win the north London derby, anyone?
For the Derby I'm not backing up the gunners to pick up even a one point from a draw they are still very fragile at the moment and true their have been slowly improving their results.
Tottenham look very solid at their best but have started to slip lately with Kane looking way off his best form. So them going to their 3rd straight loss is highly unlikely
I do think Santo could be the difference maker here. He clearly knew how to get the better of this Arsenal side and I can see his Tottenham team strolling into the Emirates and coming away with a winner most likely to be 1-0 or 2-0.

Bad kick, yes. As for the result, it might appear to be very unlikely, but I don't think it was particularly unexpected. Yes, Man U are considerably better than Villa... but I just don't see them as one of the top teams in the league, they are not in the same class as Man City or Chelsea. Ronaldo would probably have salvaged the draw in this instance if he took the penalty, I'm just not convinced his overall play makes Man U a better team. If he's judged on goals, he's great, but if he's judged on the full 90 minutes he doesn't offer the complete package.
