I've given up VAR thinking much now. Now VAR comes up and I just expect the worst. It has been kind to Liverpool past 2 games now, but overall nett negative still this season, just as it was nett negative last season. Couldn't really care less now, I never liked the implementation, not against the tech, but EPL are awful at implementing.

I'm so-so okay with my results so far. I tried a 4-2 city win trying to be clever haha. Serves me right for getting only 1 point.

VAR ruins enjoyment of the game, you can’t celebrate a goal properly any more because you’re always worried about VAR chalking it off.

Like you say, great tech but it’s being used by the same idiots who were making mistakes every week as referees.
We’ve (LFC) been negatively affected by VAR the most out of all 20 teams, that is fact by the way, not opinion. I saw a list detailing teams wrongly, negatively affected by having goals taken away & we were the worst affected.
We’re still top though with a crippling injury list most of the whole season.

And I’ve sucked in our pool for the second match week running grrrr!

Another VAR situation. How is it possible that Southampton did not get a penalty right now? Maybe there was not intention behind it but still after you see that slow motion it does not look good. And VAR referee did not even call main ref to look at the situation.

This sort of VAR checks destroy the game, I am sure Man United would get a penalty in this situation and probably most of the other big teams.

Big_daddy again leading, 4 correct pick out of 4! If he wins the round then he will have twice for the first time. It seems whatever he picks it turns out the correct pick. Is this luck or result of some exclusive study?

Hehe tnx mate

Well, it’s a mix of stats and feeling of the final result
I’m combining the probability of over/under scored goals and then the stats and form of both squads in the last 3 matches

Btw, I got at the end of the day all green, 1 exact, 4 close and 1 result Cool

I’ll make now the predictions for tomorrow

Okay, now I may act like I am an expert who used some deep analysis to pick 3-1 for Arsenal. But in truth, I merely used gut feeling to make that pick.

Lol, good job and congrats on that one. I am happy to have been wrong about that match. It was nice to see the Gunners take a good win against a good team. It seems like it's been months.

How @Webtricks was able to get all 3 points off Arsenal vs Chelsea is still beyond, was he expecting Arsenal to win ? They've scored 3 goals in their last 7 games and he picked them to score 3 tonight or was that a mere bluff ?

may i congratulate webtricks for his almost accurate prediction for the arsenal - chelsea game? Shocked

He hit the exact score with 3-1, great pick and quite risky on taking it but it paid off. It could be 3-2 but Jorginho missed the penalty. Too bad I had the other way around 1-3 for Chelsea

Okay, now I may act like I am an expert who used some deep analysis to pick 3-1 for Arsenal. But in truth, I merely used gut feeling to make that pick. This week I didn't spend much time thinking about the fixtures and picked all results in like 40 seconds. However, it wasn't bluff or risky pick, I genuinely thought Arsenal will win this one with higher margin.

So, on whole it looks like a good round opening for me. I am in top 30 for the first time. Hope that my rank will improve as the league progresses. ManU high scoring draw was shocker though.

So 4/10 matches so far and only 1 points for me. I keep on getting less than 8 points for three or four weeks in a row now and Im sliping away from the top ten

I got the only correct score in Villa match.

Utd could not held the lead for the second time
Southampton had two goals ruled out
And Chelsea was not even in the ground. Well done Arsenal.

I've got zero points from the 4 games played until now 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I'm definitely inline for the wooden spoon for this round...

no matter what league, whether it's the bundesliga or the premier league - the top clubs often achieve very very unpredictable results... which leads to the fact that the whole final results are even more difficult to predict Undecided

Well considering that Arsenal hasnt win 7 times in a row then one of these time would be their turn to get 3 points, the unlucky run cant keep happening forever or else Arteta might lose his job before the season end.

All eyes on Arsenal - Chelsea game. I see some people went with Arsenal win - what I can say, brave prediction Cheesy

.

Your comment has not aged well

It is 3:0 at the moment and it could have been even more.
If it makes you feel any better I lost a lot of money on this game since I was sure Chelsea is winning this. After seeing line ups I was even more sure and added more money.

I still can't believe I will end the day without enormous loss. I was quite sure United, Southampton, Chelsea and Everton should all win today. If that happened I would win big but as it stands I managed to win one ticket where I had x2 on Southampton, x2 on United and over 3.5 cards on Villa game. Just enough to cover all the losses.

How bad Crystal Palace was today, despite that they had one man more on the pitch for whole 2nd half. Villa dominated game totally.

Didn't saw that moment because I watched other game. But in general, there is big problem with VAR in EPL. We have some questionable moments almost every round. I don't know why there is no such issues in other big leagues.

I've also gone for a Manchester United 1 - 2 win in the pool, and there are loads of us with that same pick, it has been an even game thus far, but I still have feeling that United would steal all 3 points.

Only five of us picked a 2-2 draw for this match. Don't worry, I won't let it go to my head, this is the first "exact" prediction I've scored in a month. Lets see if Aston Villa and Southampton will help me out today.

Good on you guys who got 2-2. I went for a Leicester upset, so dead here and on my bets haha.

Villa's got the goal, I do want them to score a couple more to keep another Sportsbet special alive (2.5 goals on every game) but with Saints game still scoreless with 20 mins to go, I'm happy if the scores stay this way + Southampton nick 3 points.

Edit: and 2-0 Villa. Not bad with only 10 men.

I am. Probably the only game I'll watch today.

I have my whole day today and will be watching most of the matches. Nothing else around for me to do. Rashford scored so Utd might have a chance today although Leicester are not giving it away very easily. I am expecting a 1 - 2 win for Utd.

Leicester vs Man Utd kicks off soon, who’s watching? It’s a pure day of football today, all day Cool

I hope to do much better in our pool today, I was terrible last week, possibly my worst score ever (over the 3 or 4 seasons we’ve been doing it).

I am. Probably the only game I'll watch today. Gone for a 2-2 draw on it. Anything could happen in this game though and they're both battling it out for second place. Still don't trust United to win especially away, but not sure Leicester are strong enough for the win and United have been playing pretty good recently hence the draw. 10 people have gone for the draw, seven for the home win and everyone else the United away win (which I'm surprised is the majority).

I am watching, should be a cracker of a day and this is the perfect game to start us up. I am expecting United to be good today but Vardy can always throw a spanner in the works. United should win this one on set play, Leicester has been very bad defending those and Fernadez/Maguire is a big threat from set pieces. For a perfect start to the day I need result like 3:1 for united with at least one Maguire goal.

I went big today and invested way too much in various tickets so at the end of the day I will be a lot richer or my betting bank will take considerable hit. That is what happens when there is 2 days without anything to bet on.
