I still say this is all the jinxing caused by all the pundits saying how good we looked earlier in the season. Same as what happened when Arsenal sat at the top at the start of the league. It is like as soon as everyone says how good a club is, it seems to fall. So in that spirit,,,  Manchester City look so good and they are now serious favorites to win it right?

Been saying for some time now that Brighton plays much better than their place on the table and that luck will get on their side sooner or later. While getting some points against Spurs without Kane on home turf was sort of expected I never thought they will take full spoils from Anfield.

Correct,,, give credit where it is due Brighton are improving their football a lot.

Tottenham played terrible and I am sure this defeat from his ex club hurts Mourinho a lot, and it's not just the fact they are missing best player Kane, but they have no idea in midfield and they looked dead in last matches.

Chelsea were simply better in this match. Bale wasnt even in the field today, I guess this is pretty much sums up his career in Tottenham



So @Tomahawk9 won the 22nd round and extend his lead on the top of the leaderboard . He has been standing on top of the leaderboard for weeks and yet this is the first time that he wins the Yellow Cap   Tongue

YELLOW CAPS 2020/2021

Liverpool fans, do not worry. We also got beaten by the same team. I know it is not a comfort but sometimes it is "easier" to win against teams that really do try to attack more and not to discredit teams like Brighton but they know who they are and play to their advantage,,, Basically, Liverpool finally got Manchester City'd last season:)

I am expecting a tight game between Spurs and Chelsea tonight and I am giving Chelsea better chances to walk away with points. Spurs are without Kane, Regulion and Lo Celso - all three very important players while Chelsea has full squad at their disposal.

Wow, I am very surprised with how this round went for me. With three times being close and two times guessing the exact score plus one result, I'm pretty sure it's the best round I've had so far, and not even the tricky match between Tottenham and Chelsea can spoil this now.
This really motivates to make the picks for the next round, I'm feeling optimistic and excited now. What are your anticipations about this weekend's games? The odds are pretty close for 6 matches, so I don't think it will be an easy round.

Spurs v Chelsea tonight is going to be a tough one to call. Don't trust either teams to get the job done.

So I'll settle for a 1-1 draw, in fact it will be a difficult match for both clubs. I think tonight we'll see two beautiful goals for both clubs!!!Hopefully that's because I only scored 4 points this week Angry

i think Thomas Tuchel will give chelsea a new touch of team spirit and they will win this game against the spurs.
you could already see in the last two games of TT that chelsea is very different and much more aggressive and playful than before

First Burnley and now Brighton. We are home sick. I lost my hope.

This is not us!

I didn't watch either games, but did those teams play great or did Liverpool just play shite? They're playing Man City on Sunday and that could be embarrassing for them. They really need to take some points from City if they wanna stay in the title race. There's a seven point gap right now with City having a game in hand as well. I'm doing terrible this round. Didn't get any points from last nights games other than 3 from a correct score on the City match.

I'm not so sure after losing 2-0 at home to Newcastle last week. Leeds played well as well. Either a home win or maybe a draw for me but I wouldn't back Everton especially away.

Leeds for the win for me actually. Everton were exciting early season but I think that rested too much on Richarlison and Digne, and once those two got red carded in succession, they never seemed to find their rhythm again.


in the end Everton won it yesterday, to quote myself

~snip
Everton should win today at Leeds

It was close though. Leeds hit the post twice and I think they deserved a point overall.

agree that Everton form is down a bit, but Leeds does not have much to offer at the moment either, so it was a bit expected from my perspective, and bearing in mind that city rival lost at home makes it even better Smiley
City now has fine advantage, and it is hard to believe that Leicester will keep up the race, so Manchester race is up at the moment

nevertheless, West Ham has a really good track lately

In the past 2/3 games, United can lose to Sheffield, Liverpool and Spurs to Brighton, Everton to Newcastle, Arsenal to Wolves, Chelsea to Leicester but Leicester to Leeds haha, well. It really looks like City's got it in the bag. 7 points behind them IF we beat them at the next game. The silver lining is Liverpool odds should be at least 3/1 on that game. Terrible week for me all round.

Unfortunately this does not seem like the year of Liverpool.They have lost many games and losing in their home field is a clear indication of their not best form.It was the only unexpected result yesterday for me although I also didn’t expect a Villa home loss.

Didn't watch any of the games but just watched the highlights. They didn't show the offside in the Man U game for some reason but if the VAR had that angle/image and still gave it it's a joke but it's not like we didn't know that already. Thought the second red was harsh as well. Didn't look intentional.

The David Luiz sending off in the Arsenal game seemed harsh also. Clearly accidental. VAR checked it apparently according to SofaScore but gave it anyway. I thought VAR was meant to be for these exact situations.

Neither Southampton's second red card nor Arsenal's David Luiz one was worth it, but after checking severally (at least the referee didn't personally check for Luiz's) and still going for the capital punishment is highly absurd, when one could argue it being a penalty or not. As for the offside , I'm still in shock. Perhaps VAR should be scrapped for the time being while they figure out the essence of having it in place to begin with.

Can my boys LFC make it 3 PL wins in a row? I’d like to hope so, although we have struggled against some of the lesser teams in recent times. Brighton are coming off the back of a great win against Brighton too. We should win but you never know.

I'm especially preparing post dinner snacks and all just for this game. Last game was a marvel to watch in 2nd half (first half was a regular pain) so I'm hoping for more of the same. I'm curious about the lineups, but the bookies seem to think we're not easily coming out of our funk (15/10 on Liverpool, damn). I've gone for a 2/1 HT lead. Might put it all back down on them again if that hits;)

-- VAR had that angle/image and still gave it it's a joke but it's not like we didn't know that already.

I'd like very much for VAR to actually surprise me some time.

manunited outclassed southampton 9-0 in the end Shocked Shocked

They must be kidding... VAR is f*cking joke in EPL.
I'm not against VAR, but such offsides is just ridiculous.

I don't think they'll have any trouble with Brighton despite them beating Spurs last week.

I was half expecting to see that one of you managed to get correct score on United game Smiley What a game for me to miss, I was actually playing football after more than a year pause and just checked the results later and went WTF. First Arsenal shoots themselves in the foot and loose while getting 2 red cards and than Southampton looses 9:0.

Did you guys see Linaker twitter, laughed my ass off:
"Good heavens, Southampton haven’t been beaten 9 nil since last season."

That is a funny quote for real.I saw the guy at the top of the standings so far for this round with 7 points from the 4 games of today.That is quite insane from the results of yesterday games.

I totally forgot they got beaten as badly last season too by another former EPL champion! I wonder which was worse for them, but giving United 8 different players to score, it was like they were just taking turns to score. This is truly, truly, a coronavirus season. I wonder what the odds were for United to win by that scoreline. 200/1 at least! If there was even any bookie doing it.

Or United next to score on live betting. Phew!

was not expected, but Southampton was down at one moment and United scored almost all shots

what made me fell good is that Sheffield won another match, they are slowly crawling from the bottom, 9 points in last five rounds, and brought me money in this round, they are half way from out from relegation, Brighton is not out of reach anymore

Everton should win today at Leeds
