Next season we should have a higher stakes league, winner takes all (as well as the normal pool). It would make things a lot more fun for the high ballers.
January 10, 2020, 06:22:47 AM
By the way, I was wondering what did you pick in the Wolves vs Newcastle, Everton vs Brighton and Bournemouth vs Watford?
Everton and Wolves home wins and Bournemouth vs Watford a draw probably for me. I've gone for all home wins on the 3 o'clock kick-offs but I'm sure there will be at least one draw in there (maybe the Everton//Brighton game). Watford are the better team right now but not sure I'd back them to win away and both teams are next to each other on the table and are fighting relegation so a draw it is for me (I'm sure they'll both be happy with the point as well). That game could go anywhere though from a bore draw 0-0 to a goalfest like 2-2 or something so not sure whether to risk watching it or not.
Any way, just got my predictions submitted. Hopefully I don’t get another wooden spoon this weekend.
I think we should have a tip jar in our pool where we could put some small amounts, or just take a small portion of sponsored money and actually ship wooden spoons to the recipients. Or at least we should buy and send an actual wooden spoon to the person that collects most of them. We could even engrave it with something
Nobody wants a wooden spoon and I'm sure people wont want to expose their address for one, but you can actually buy the Superbru-branded spoons and caps:

I suppose if enough people wanted it maybe this pool or the one next year I could take the money out of the pot to have a cap or spoon shipped to the winner/loser.

You, tokeweed and famLFC need more wooden spoon to earn. Other players must have a chance

whaaat? Pamoldar changed his username? I didn't know you could do that here. Question: can we still call you Pamoldar? D:
Mousset - Aubameyang - Richarlison - Abraham - R.Jimenez - Mané - Callum Wilson.
About the pool, i'm expecting a close game between Sheffield vs West Ham so, a draw.
Sheffield losing his ground but still able to beat West Ham as they are also bad on road I am going with Sheffield to win. And is there anyone who are into FJM? Make sure you make your picks.
Done Mousset - Aubameyang - Richarlison - Abraham - R.Jimenez - Mané - Callum Wilson.

^ Hold on... Is that you Paldomar? Lolol. I didn't think it was allowed... How did you get your screen name changed?
And yup... The thread should be exclusive only for players. Keeps the quality up.

Wow, great. Glad to know that we have a girl on the pool.
Pamoldar offered theymos sexual services in exchange for his username being changed (only kidding buddy).

Just about to put my predictions in now, I missed the PL games. The FA Cup is a dead competition imo but I suppose it gives the less fashionable clubs a chance to win a trophy.

You have to wait until the next Chirstmas (actually not.) In the Christmas eve do not fall asleep but pretend that you are asleep. When Santa will come down to your room then surprise him with a bo-ya! Write him a letter with the wishes you have and then fall asleep for real this time. You know Santa is busy so give him the time. Keep praying and keep waiting for the good time. One morning you will receive a letter from Santa with the news of fulfilling your wish.
This is how I experienced it 😜

So the mystery of FamLFC is solved... with an equally mystifying name of BitcoinGirl Club. I don't believe I've noticed your nick before strangely enough but a belated hello to the pool. And no, the pool is still all-male, guys. First rule of Bitcoin/Forum/Internet =p Sorry for the accurate sexism!
I will be 37 in this weekend. A 13 (only) month experienced dad of a cute baby girl with a lot of dreams to be the best dad for her. This BitcoinGirl.Club project is one of it only. Not sure if the pool is all male but I have never seen any girl to be interested in sports page of a newspaper or sports news in the TV 😜Well there is the local rule in the op that it's only for paying pool participants. We occasionally get yobit shitposters crapping in here but their turds are swiftly removed as are any others that post in here that haven't paid to play.
Honestly speaking, not many times I read the changes on OP. From the email notifications I usually hit the link and end up in the last page of the topic I last visited last time and from there I keep going with my conversations. It's good thing that the rules are being enforced swiftly or we would really see mess here too.In Everton - Brighton, I have gone with Everton. In the Wolves - Newcastle match, although it seems Wolves will win but in the ground I think it will be a very difficult job for them. This match also has very good chance to end up with a draw. But as usual I gone with a win, instead of draw.
I sometimes feel, if there an option for team and draw in the pool LOL
January 09, 2020, 09:47:07 AM
Lol. But why would you change your name to BitcoinGirl.Club? Or expect that I knew who you was. Looked like some rando posting that I'd never seen before .
How am I know that you were silently deleting posts which are from none pool participants 😜.Seriously after knowing the post got deleted I had this in mind for a millisecond that it could be that you did not recognize the username and then I thought - it can't be a good reason so I ignored the thought.

If Watford were at home I would back them easy, but away I'm not so sure. Watford are the better team right now but they threw away a 3-0 lead in the cup earlier this week. Bournemouth might have lost their last two games but the beat Chelsea away recently and managed a draw with Arsenal and that is what's leading me to the draw. The only thing I need to decide is whether I go for goals or the 0-0.
Yes you have a very valid point and Watford is a team who really play good football in the pitch but throwaway the points. Problem with me is that I always find it very uncomfortable for me to pick a draw so most of the times I go with win and with this match if I do not change my mind lately then I will stick with a win for Watford. I had a very bad round on the last one but I hope this one comes up with some good exact and correct picks.Well draws are always risky but sometimes a good play when you can't split the teams. Everton - Brighton & Hove Albion is another tricky one. I'll probably go for the Everton home win but I'm really tempted on the draw as well. Both teams have been pretty inconsistent but I think Everton's form has been slightly better and there's the obvious home advantage.
@hilarious: my dream is a Sunday 5v5 of bitcointalk footie bois on neutral ground. It's so awesome in my head.
A five a side match would kill me. They're far too intense and I haven't played in years. Maybe Sportsbook.io could get a bitcoin match set up on the Watford pitch haha. I've always wanted to play in a stadium. I'd probably get fit for that

@Brainboss: Fully deserved, Mane. I have 2 parlays with all legs already won, now ending with the Spurs game, so I'm really looking forward! Which part of that huge continent you from?

I am working on this BitcoinGirl.Club project so thought to have this brand around here and having it with my username is the best possible thing I could think off and I am happy that my wish got granted by Santa 😀

.Bournemouth - Watford game on the weekend could be interesting.
I think Watford will eventually win the stress. Honestly speaking Watford is playing well in their matches but was not able to capitalize to win matches however from last few matches they are getting good result. Here are some EPL match results for Watford:Watford won against Wolves
Watford won against Villa
Drew against Sheff in the away match
Watford won again Utd
So, considering the recent form I would bet for Watford in this match. However head to head stats indicates that this could be a draw match too.

Any kind of performance tonight will be twice the entertainment United provided last night, but I wonder if Villa is a good bet. City and Leicester will for sure get CL spots. Villa's only hope for European football might pip them over the line?
@hilarious -- Hell yeah that looks spot on. I'm not sure if that's the exact same thing, but the concept's definitely the same: you basically feel very numb, but a HOT numbness instead of cold, so it seems to erase the pain. We call it minyak merah (literally red oil) locally, but I never found out what it contained except probably menthol or eucalyptus.

Yeah. It's probably not the exact same thing but similar or does the same job. It's like a burning numbness. Kind of a weird yet paradoxical feeling. I might actually buy some for nostalgias sake

Well, it was completely one sided game, Leicester dominated totally, but Villa managed to score with just shot on target. In second half Leicester scored and were close to make result 2:1, but didn't managed to that.
But I think that Villa have good chance to reach final, despite their performance today.
But I think that Villa have good chance to reach final, despite their performance today.
Having total ball possession without end result is a boring style of play. Leicester dominate but couldn't get something out of all those possession which caused them the 3points. From the match stats, Leicester played like Sarri's Chelsea and not like Brendan Rodgers Leicester city that we know of. Leicester had 21 shots compared to Aston Villa's just 3 shots, funny enough villa could score with just their 1 shot on target. Leicester had 70% of the ball possession and completed 687 passes and yet couldn't score more than 1 goals, that's just poor.
Ps: Brendan Rodgers has been profiting from his trust in Kelechi Iheanacho and the Nigerian striker has been brilliant under his management scoring the only Leicester goal as a substitute.
Heads up, Incase you missed it, Sadio Mane is the Africa player of the year.
The CAFAward (Africa football award) ceremony held last night and Sadio Mane was crowd the Africa player of the year. This is the first time he's winning the prestigious award. He won the award ahead of his teammate and two time winner, Mo Salah and previous winner, Riyad Mahrez.
Congratulations to him and Liverpool. This current Liverpool squad are winning awards and getting the recognition they deserve. Next up FIFA BEST and probably ballon d'or lol.

Lets see how he performs against Tottenham, hopefully getting a goal to celebrate his recent achievement.

For me I am looking forward to see Tottenham vs Liverpool match. I would like to see without Kane how far Tottenham can go.Most probably Son will not play as well.
