Full time, Fulham 2-3 Everton, it was a really entertaining game. Everton dominated in the first half but Fulham really should have got a point, they were good in the second half. Three more games to go today  Cool

^  We could say the same with Everton's defense.  They're making Fulham look like LFC.  Lol.  This match should be 3 - 3 and it wouldn't be surprising if it comes to that and Fulham sneaks in another goal and win it imo.  

Edit:  They're giving Fulham so much space.  
2nd half totally different game. As you said Everton is giving so much space to Fulham and they look much better now. Fulham is solid when attacking and terrible when defending. Surely in game like this, attack is the best defense.

There's 5 minutes additional time, and Fulham are still pushing for a goal but I think Everton would see this through.

Edit: Yes, they did held on... and they are back to winning ways!

^  Not when they keep giving away the ball.  Lol.

And the sun is on their faces going to the final third.  Could be a factor...

Just watching Fulham - Everton and wondering if Fulham defense is full of idiots or their manager makes them to try and play the ball from the back instead of kicking it up the pitch. I am all for taking time and gradually building your attack but they have lost so many balls in their own third of the pitch. Almost like they made the bet Everton scores 5+ and doing their best cash out in first half.

Don't mind it at all since I have money ridding on Everton as well but this looks ridiculous.

Did you guys see that?  It's getting ridiculous.  VAR should just be removed from the sport competely.  The players celebrated the goal, the fans celebrated the goal then the ref decides to remove the goal?  It's destroying the game.  IMHO.

Wait til the fans come back...

What goal and what fans?

The City game.  Laporte made a goal but the pass before it was declared hand ball.  The players celebrated the goal on the pitch, the fans for sure celebrated it at home as I did, then VAR says it's not a goal.. a couple of minutes later, mind you.

If everything comes back to normal with stadiums full and this shit keeps on happening, expect a riot esp in really important matches.

Edit:  They're trying to do it again rn..  Looking if somebody is a millimeter offside.  Lawl.  So ridiculous.  I think VAR should only be used for cards in the box, to decide if it's a penalty.  IMHO.

I'll probably go for the draw. Might put my both teams to score in both halves with 2 corners each half and 2 cards each bet on.

Skybet have another good offer on. Put any bet on the Spurs/City game and get a free £5 bet to use on anything:

nice multi bet  Grin
I'll go for draw or Leicester, maybe combined in a double or just a simple single

the Skybet promo is very generous, tnx

That's an awesome offer! Too bad we can't access those types. Sportsbet itself has quite a few good weekend offers though, I'd be taking the Messi to score in both halves at 10x. He's a penalty taker and anyway can score on his own easily. I know that's La Liga but oh well:)

Arsenal 3-1 or 4-1 is 11x, that's my pick of big win bets;)

Who thought Mou gets the better of Pep?

Right fellas. Ready for this weekend? Watching a little of this first match now, got some money on Chelski BUT put a 1-0 Newcastle prediction on Superbru, so that own goal and less than 30% possession in first half means I'm probably getting 0 points from this one. Blues should put a couple more in, but actually just gonna pop out for shopping and return to watch evening games. Enjoy!

re those promos from Skybet, I occasionally watch a Sky Sports stream and those bet offers really remind me of happy times in the UK in 2016, taking on all these boosted promos now. Even if you bet small amounts like that, they tend to really add up with boosts and freebets. As is the case now with Sportsbet offers.

I’ve gone for Liverpool to win, would you expect anything else?  Grin

Exactly. And how often can we get games to double our money so easily, right? Wink

^  For some reason I think Leicester and Spurs beat or draw LFC and City with these fixtures being right after the interational break and them having to play at the CL midweek.  Dunno..

I’m not buying into this Leicester hype, they’ve had 8 penalties this season, I think we’ll beat them. We have lots of injuries but the expected team will be something like this -

Alisson, Milner, Matip, Fabinho, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Keita, Shaqiri, Jota, Firmino, Mane


Salah misses the game due to covid, Thiago & Henderson will be back in a week or so. Trent AA will be back in 2 weeks. We will miss VVD & Gomez no doubt but the above team is more than good enough to beat pretty much everything in the PL.

with all the news regarding Covid, I would say that draw is the best option for Liverpool and Leicester match, although goals can be expected, it is not that if someone is missing from Liverpool that they will play with some youngsters, they have good and deep team subs, to cover situations like this
would not call the same for Leicester, and if Kasper is out (did not saw confirmation for this), that could have much more influence on their game, than Salah on LFC

from the others, Tottenham seems to be a team to watch, even for the title, Murinho knows how to play long seasons with 1:0 wins, and they are pretty tough contender for the title, especially if others lose some points in this early stage, as City already did
that is a match of the week for me, and I think that City is far from win tomorrow

There doesn't seem to be any update on whether Kasper's playing or not yet but he's said it looked worse than it was. Coaches/the FA can be worried about players playign with potential head injuries though and he might be forced to sit it out even though he's ok. If he's not playing I will probably go for the Liverpool win but will depend on the line-ups. I'm liking the draw on this though along with the City/Spurs fixture. I think Spurs can easily win their match too even though City are the bookies strong favourite, but it's one of those where I can't split so the draw is looking the best option. I could see a lot of goals in both games so 2-2 could be an option. I'll be watching them both either way along with the Leeds/Arsenal game.

Kasper Schmeichel’s heavy blow to the head "looked a lot worse than it was", the Leicester City goalkeeper has said.

Schmeichel was substituted at half-time in Denmark’s 2-1 victory over Iceland on Sunday after taking a whack to the face from the thigh of winger Albert Gudmundsson.

Agreed, I’m not a fan of international football at the best of times but this year especially it should have all been scrapped except possibly the qualifiers for the Euro’s.
Under no circumstance should the Nations League & friendlies be taking place when we are in a global pandemic.
Yes I would need to agree with you on this one.
My country fails to understand this. There was a France vs Ukraine match a while ago which I described in this thread, with Ukraine not standing a chance because of multiple positive COVID tests of the players. And yet just this week Switzerland cancelled a match with Ukraine because a few days before the match 8 players had positive COVID-19 tests. I'm glad that Switzerland took it seriously because the Ukrainian COVID-19 situation is horrible, and yet the head coach of our national team was basically outraged by this decision since "enough players had negative tests".

Every country seems to be doing their own thing. I saw some of the international games had fans there in the stadiums whilst there's zero in the UK and many other places.

Finally another prediction week on pool from tomorrow
The covid situation is a pain in the ass... having that variable on top of all mertics and stats can easily change my prediction for the pair
For example, Liverpool is playing against Leicester without 9 players, at the moment
And their performance is not as I expected will be on the start of the season... Idk, a possible underdog to catch on Saturday here

I'll probably go for the draw. Might put my both teams to score in both halves with 2 corners each half and 2 cards each bet on.

Minimum bet is o 0.05p. Think I've had at least 5 of these free £5 bets this season.

I'm very sceptical about Leicester chances to make another miracle. I think they will start dropping points eventually. Their squad isn't deep enough to compete with Liverpool City or Spurs. And don't forget that they also play in Europa league, so they don't have many chances to rest their players. While FA and EFL cup didn't even started for them. If Foxes will finnish in TOP 4, it would be great result for them I think.
Spurs have good chances to take psrt in title race, but no waythqt I'm going to bet on them.
Agree about the Leicester, there is just no way they repeat that performance and take the title. They don't have the squad depth to see it trough, especially with European games as well. If they manage to end inside top four and clinch Champions League place that will be more than they had right to hope for.

I am expecting them to make Liverpool season a bit tougher in the next game though. They are perfect team to capitalize on those missing defenders.

I am expecting LFC and City to be on top in the end no matter what problems hit them on the road and Chelsea probably has the best chance to take 3rd spot with United, Spurs, Everton and Leicster maybe having some chance of upset.
