Yep, definitely really tricky , hoping some signings will swing it for me ,one side or the other !!!!

Nice graphic cryptofrka- took me a while to work it out - Doh !

Holding off picking some of the matches tomorrow - waiting for the transfer window to close  

Anyone know if Bournemouth have signed anyone ? Can’t find any info, so I suppose they haven’t .
Any big names for Everton ?
Crystal Palace - Tosun from Everton - any more ?
Burnley aren’t spending or Man City ?
TIA

So is anyone else not looking forward to this round predictions wise? There's like seven matches where I can't split then and I've provisionally gone for the draw. I'll have to change some though after further research. All these could be close:

Leicester City - Chelsea
Bournemouth - Aston Villa
Crystal Palace - Sheffield United
West Ham United - Brighton & Hove Albion
Watford - Everton

I really can't back any of those teams to straight win.

Leicester City & Chelsea are right next to each other in the table and have both been shaky recently. Bournemouth & Aston Villa are separated by two points only and are both fighting relegation. Crystal Palace & Sheffield United united are separated by only three points. West Ham United & Brighton are another two separated by only two points and again fighting relegation. And then there's Watford V Everton. I'm tempted to go for a close home win but Everton are the better team but not one you can bank on so again, a draw is looking like a good option. Fuck's sake. This is going to be one of those rounds where there'll be a few draws but it's just pickingh the right fixtures which is very hard to do.

And then of course there's Burnley - Arsenal & Tottenham - Manchester City on sunday, which I can also see being close. City and Arsenal should win, but the games being away is making me worry.

The Premier league is entering the final third of the season. It was never this close before, guys

Everton and Manchester United these two destroy me as well because I lost most points on them both never give any plus to me even last time when I was on Everton 2 - 0 against New Castle and very happy with my 3 points suddenly Newcastle done magic and give me zero at end.

You think it has nothing to do with that your name is ...Girl now? 



I think all games are unpredictable in the next round. Tottenham vs. ManCity, or Arsenal game?
Liverpool is also not sure against Southampton, even if they count new easy win against WH it seems like they have relaxed. I expect now is time for Liv to lose some points in the next 2-3 games.
btw. I find somewhere stats on Superbru, most points I lost on Everton and Manchester United games, 67%. this is understandable for MU, I can't pick results against them, but Everton destroy my stats  

Well I am not playing on United for sure Too bad it will not be a good odds for Wolves not to lose. Leicester should do good against Chelsea porous defense but I will probably play both to score on this one. I will pass Watford game , I really don't know what to expect from this one.

I think that Arsenal and maybe Spurs can be added to the same list. I lost too much money betting on these teams this year. So, I rather skip their games instead of betting against them, because it didn't bring good results for me.

Some interesting and hardly predictable games on Saturday, like Leicester - Chelsea, Watford - Everton and Wolves - MU. Any early thoughts about it?

I'm not familiar with that specific situation but if he hasn't got a good excuse like a prior engagement already booked or a personal tragedy he should be there and just not wanting to go isn't a good enough one in my opinion, but I guess he's free to protest or make a point if he sees fit.


Everyone's seemingly got an opinion of it. A lot of people do think there's too many games to be played as well or there should be more breaks for teams in places but that's a different argument all together. Maybe it will open up a dialogue about things that need to be changed. A lot of people are saying replays should be abolished and the games just decided with extra time and penalties etc, but then people are saying that replays are great for smaller clubs who get a huge boost to their finances so it's swings and roundabouts.


They do on the 24th. West Ham have Man City away as well next week. I don't think that will be pretty 

Well I always said there are few teams who are bookies favorite and among them there are Utd, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea and lately City joined.

I know it but still few weeks ago I got greedy when Utd was 1 - 0 behind against Burnley I got bet for Utd draw or win. Final result 0 - 2 defeat against Burnley in the home match. Yesterday in the City match I was tempted to bet for City even after 80 minutes when they were still 0 - 0 down. But for some reason I was not much convinced and lucky me that I saved me to lose some btc.

Liverpool always is the team to relay and this is good for punters. By the way, congratulations on your winning of the parley.

Yes I did! But your last post was confusing to me 😉

Now talk is not about when they will become champions now mostly talking can they win unbeaten or they will lost any match because this year they perform real like champions so time for some records.

I think they play West Ham in a couple of weeks again but at Anfield this time, seems weird but must be because the one last night was delayed.

Liverpool could officially become champions at The Etihad. That’d be quite funny.

@hilarious: totally missed your video clips but have watched them now. Sky and BT proper thinking Klopp's got to be there, and I'm really leaning to that as well -- but at the same time I have heard all about Klopp and his thoughts from BVB, and I remember times like Houllier's heart attack I don't know. I think people can make calls and we'll forgive them no matter what.

There are some completely on his side though, maybe because it's ESPN? The panel's take: https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/28570719

Seems like nothing new on the horizon. Nothing from last night's press conference I could see either. I'm hoping he changes his mind somehow, cause now that I see Villa in the final and City's form, I'm thinking, we could really have won that!

Out by a mere one goal again. I was the only person that went for 0-1 as well so could have done with the three points on that one. Surprised more people didn't go for 2-0 as only seven got it right. Man United didn't play bad in the EFL semi. They actually won but only by one goal and not enough to go through. Was expecting them to get hammered to be fair. City did have two goals disallowed though. I'm sure Ollie will be signing about that "victory" for a few days at least.

Does anyone know if Klopp said anything in the pre-or post match conferences or anywhere else about the upcoming rematch in the cup?

yes, you understand correctly 

@Pamoldar, the very reason I'm betting against City, or United, or Chelsea this season (Depending on when they're the huge favourites!) is precisely because they're completely not to be trusted. The season's about just passed the halfway mark and I'm already making the most profit I can recall in any season, while risking very little. It's all luck I know and happy to be enjoying their misfortunes just as Liverpool's renaissance is midway.

Of course all that can change as soon as they right their ship, but there's always going to be someone else to slip up=p

Anyway, good night for me. My last long parlay won with the Salah penalty at HT, and then United parlay also won, I didn't need them to progress. Too bad it's Villa against City, instead of Leicester. Feel like City are going to get a free cup but anyway, maybe Villa prove me wrong (actually please Villa prove me wrong, taking a bet on you as soon as I see the odds haha).

Well just like I expected it. Finally after long time I see I have a correct score in the pool. After the 2nd goal which was quite early in the 2nd half, I was thinking Liverpool to score more but good thing is for me that they did not score anymore LOL

My recent rounds:
Round 24 - 9.5 top 19.5
Round 23 - 4.5 top 14.5
Round 22 - 10 top 16.5
Round 21 - 5 top 15.5
Round 20 - 14 top 18.5
Round 19 - 12 top 13.5

The latest 4 rounds did the most harm to me unfortunately.

Another easy win for Liverpool, we have beaten all the teams in the league now. West Ham was the only one remaining, only because the match was postponed

In acca if you lose one then you lose the entire betslip so if I understand your bet correctly then you already lost it. Or I am missing something?

I was about to bet for Liverpool but they scored and now the odd of course sucks. Still will wait for a good entry time. If somehow West Ham scores then I am going for a bet for Liverpool to win. The odds will be juicy.

So risky over 1.5 goals in HT.
Statistics says 25% ball possession in the first half. Maybe they still can play 2:2   What are you say @DeathAngel

Second match: Manchester City 0 - 1 Manchester United
Someone know if Man Utd. win 2:0, what then? Extra time/penalties or City going to final because of more away goals?
