Another VAR debacle in Premier League. They were just checking a soft penalty on Maguire and lost few minutes on it when it was clear he was half a meter in offside. Is it possible that nobody sees that or would they check that only in case the ref decided to award penalty for foul on him. Stupid however you put it.

Bamford got sandwiched by two Arsenal player simultaneously and they didn't give that either. I don't understand when the lightest of touches gets a penalty or a player diving anticipating the challenge yet getting slammed by two players doesn't even get checked. VAR did overturn a penalty correctly earlier in the game though.

I'm tanking for this week, lol  Sad

I duly need some sort of redemption from West Ham and Chelsea, However, I'm not sure those results will have too much impact since most users will be having similar picks.

Well I think it's been a pretty bad round for most of us with a lot of unexpected results. I'm only on four points so far. I'm actually really surprised people got more than ten points (of which there are currently seven) given there were so many upsets. Looks like we might get another unique round winner as well as only two users out of the current top ten have won it previously (assuming I didn't miss something). The current top 3 haven't won it though so it looks like one of them could take it if they get the last two games right. Not games that are too easy to predicts though. City should win especially after Everton lost to Fulham last week but Fulham are also playing Burnley. I would have backed the home win but not so sure now.

Meh.
Rofl.  Yup same here.  I did have a couple of nice weekends tho that got me to top 20.  Other than that, nadda.  And I haven’t really been interested in reading all the football news and checking all the stats this season.  It’s been all UFC for me lately.  You guys should get into it.  Smiley  It’s fun.

I managed to move from like 25th up to 8th and top it all off with a yellow cap - ever since I've been sinking like a rock.. Can't catch a break lol.

It’s just one of those weekends that you get reminded that it’s covid era football.

That's been like every week for me this year, lol..

@Trofo and LFC yeah I was watching the game (my kid, unfortunately is United hoho) and I was actually totally surprised they didn't give the penalty. Come to think of it, it's been a while since they got their requisite VARnalty. What's up with that?

I thought this was going to be a good week for everyone but I see the top scorers are just 7.5 points so far.I strangely see myself competing so far for the yellow cap together with many other people which are at 7 or 6.5 points.I am putting normal predictions for today a West Ham and Chelsea wins,I think we had enough of surprises for this round already.

3 points for the United draw. Absolute zero for everything else. I feel so cool.

There is no doubt that Alisson is to blame for that goal. Kaban did not have to do a complicated reaction and would easily eliminate the danger, but Alisson reacted in a panic at least that's what it looked like. He then had to tell the player in time that he was there and leave the reaction to him, at the end, he is more experienced in such a situation.

I know =p I just blamed Kabak because well, he did not know his keeper would do that but yeah of course, Alisson should have shouted for it either way, I know. I just. Am being silly.

^  I won’t even look at my score.  Lol.  It’s prolly around 3.5 - 5.5 or something.  And that’s being generous.  It’s just one of those weekends that you get reminded that it’s covid era football.

And wtf is up with Klopp?  Fade vs Everton?  Grin

It never stops does it, the officials incompetence in the PL. i really thought I’d like VAR but I absolutely hate it.
I’m surprised seeing as though it was Penchester United they didn’t get the penalty for Penandes Cheesy

On the positive side, Arsenal are winning 1-0 as I type this. The sportsbet.io team will be happy Smiley

I had just written in the middle of the second half how Kaban hadn't been properly tested and when he got his first test, he failed utterly. He needs to really adjust to our keeper/sweeper rushing to clear.

Not defending Alisson but really he did put out several good saves and that miscommunication with Kaban can't be on him. Terrible streak of 4 losses, I can't wait to purge this with Leipzig.

I'm surprised more than 5 people didn't go for the draw. This game had a stalemate written all over it and was looking that way going into the second half, but Liverpool blew it again within 5 minutes and just got turned over like they did against City.

@Trofo: There's a really good value on Spurs to win and BTTS on SB. I know Mou's a leopard that doesn't change his spots but things can change with a quick goal. Counting on that!
Maybe it is value but I am not taking it. This game will be total defense from Spurs and only value bets are more passes for City CB. I see this as maybe 1:0 for City and I will be really surprised if your bet hits. Good luck anyway, I have nothing riding on the game and it is always nice to see fellow gamblers take something away from the house Smiley



Of course there's value in it  Grin. I don't think Spurs are going to win this. It's not really a game I'm interested in though, but I think City could easily sink a few past them.

Playing the sweeper keeper always comes with risks but keepers tend to get shit when it fucks up and all the times they came out to clear it successfully are forgotten. Allison was nearly lobbed a couple of times in this game though, but the clash was probably 50/50 blame on him and the defender but it's risky for one of them to leave it and it's the defenders job to get rid of it, but maybe one didn't hear the other or didn't want to take the risk. Things are looking dicey for Liverpool right now. They've got Everton at home next week and that should be interesting. I'd probably back them to win though but I'll see how Everton fair against Fulham and Man City before that tie.

I'm sure you didn't enjoy the match, with Allison on goal fest and practically just giving out goals... Allison on good day would have saved two of the 3 goals he conceded today if not all. I wonder where it's all Van Dijk wrong with the Liverpool's back line! That's some costly loss for me, in the pool and in my bets.  Lips sealed

Problem was to see such a beautiful goal before that fiasco. That amazing Bobby flick and instantaneous reactions from Salah to put it beyond what had otherwise been a superb Schmeichel...

I am what I am, sometimes I feel like I'm peering at myself from outside making these bets.

Big game for us tomorrow in the early kick off vs Leicester. We can’t really afford to lose in all honesty. The title is gone for us but we need to really put some good results together to guarantee a top 4 finish. No CL next season would be a disaster.

My predictions are in Smiley

I've got a bit of money riding on this but only with Liverpool as a parlay, avoided betting big on this partly because I just want to enjoy the match. Last few games have not been fun to watch at all and I'd really just want the boys to enjoy this and give Klopp a result he deserves.

All that said, 3 points matters more than anything else now. Like you said, we just need to make sure we get our place booked in Europe.

I've gone for 3 draws this week and mostly home wins. Not sure many of this big six will have much trouble expect for maybe Liverpool against Leicester. I'll be watching that game for sure as anything could happen. I definitely don't trust Liverpool to win especially away but I think they are due a bounce back but Leicester will probably be at full capacity with Vardy back. Hopefully there's lot of goals. Same in the Arsenal/Leeds game. Can't pick a winner from that so a draw is probably the best bet. I'll probably put my high odds both teams to score in both halves/2 corners each team each half and 2 cards each team as I think they could be fiery games.

Yeah I'm turning in to watch this game too, it should be super exciting. They won 4-0 last season I am reminded now by the commentators but Vardy has a tendency to score against all the big teams. A lot of goals will be fun for everyone including the neutrals. Liverpool have played their new centerback now too, very experimental from Klopp!

I don’t think Liverpool will lose I predicted a 1-3 win for them.Did anyone notice that this is another week with more than ten games as it has two additional games which means it is a 12 legs week and there is big room for improvement for everyone.

Vardy is playing so I am on goals today, he usually likes to score a penalty or two against strong opposition. As LFC_Bitcoin said Liverpool can't afford to lose again so I am expecting a very good match today. My money is on both to score but another tip for someone gunning big odds is Alcantara to get carded. He makes a lot of suspect challenges and Leicster has some tricky payers around him like Maddison or fast like Perez and Barnes.

I am also looking forward to City game but that one could end as big disappointment. Mourinho likes to park bus against strong opponents usually and after conceding a bunch of goals midweek this time there will be 2 buses, trip wires and electric fence. Anybody want a bet with me that Kane will be in his half of the pitch much more than opposition half of the pitch?
