Last matchday was weird. First 5 games ended in draw, interesting. However, this matchday confirmed one thing, Liverpool will win Premier League for sure now. Nothing can stop them now, they are winning matches like Unicorn run. It's impossible to stop them. Unlike Manchester City, Liverpool not only rely on attacking. Liverpool got 12 less goals than Man City but defense is superb.

This week we have Chelsea vs Arsenal. I will go with Arsenal. But the biggest game would be Wolves vs Liverpool. Last time Liverpool only managed to score single goal against Wolves and match was at Anfield. But this time Wolves are hosting and they have beaten Man City at home not very long ago. I am tempted to go for Wolves in this game. Let's go for it. After all someone has to take risk why not me.  Cheesy

LoL, don't know why Salah removed his shirt. It was just Man United, not Real Madrid or Barcelona.

^  What if they win the CL again.  OMFG.

Weird weekend overall but I'm glad the LFC vs United fixture got me an exact score to help me get a little push.  Grin


What if?
Of course Liverpool will win the Champions League, it’s written in the stars
You just have to said it loud few times and you’ll see that it sounds perfect Wink

You willing to put a little bet on that?  Nothing big, just 10 bucks.  Grin  I'll go against you and bet that Liverpool won't win the CL.

Quote and confirm.

Edit:  Mid week fixtures guys.  Make your picks.  There are a few people who hasn't made their picks yet.

Well I slipped from 17th to 18th, won't complain. Still made progress thanks to 2 lucky exacts. I'm betting on favourites tonight for a change, and keeping Superbru to spring surprises.

Sheffield ONLY 7/1 to beat City... shockingly poor value compared to Palace 27/1 a few days ago, so I totally avoided that. How the betting has gone to the dogs!

@hilarious: yeah, it's really tight margins even if Liverpool have been taking in all their wins and you gotta credit United for taking the risk or we wouldn't have had the second goal. I do know it's stupid to bet on handicaps for Liverpool, even if only to chase 2/1 odds. I've also been taking half-time wins since around Christmas, and it has worked out so far. Trying to predict the team's patterns now, but of course I know it's pure luck with a bit of predictability -- Pool are, according to the stat boys, highly overperforming and are due a huge correction. Well, that correction's been due for 22 games now!

Oh and I also got a Champs League outright on them. Was 9/1 last season and only above 7/1 this one, but yeah, on current form, they're afraid of no team... and all other big boys in Europe don't want to meet them.

Lol. I still love how Allison was the first player to reach him.
I love Salah's face when he sees Allison, it was mix of: thanks for the assist, bro + how the hell did you get here so quickly!??..Beautiful moment  Grin

@hilarious: Yeah Salah saved me a lot of parlays as I stupidly added Liverpool to win by 2 goals (to get more than 2/1 odds). I actually thought before the stats confirmed it that the last time I saw that goal was from Pepe Reina (who's just joined Villa).

I never bet these. Far too hard and too much to expect of the team even if it's Liverpool. The odds are never that great as well and often all it will take is one goal from the opposition to screw it up and that wasn't far off yesterday. You've always got to account for penalties also.

^  What if they win the CL again.  OMFG.

Well I hope so. I put a bet on them to win them both before the season started. The CL isn't going to be as easy as the PL though and there's a long way to go. I think they're probably one of the favourites but it's a different story when you start coming up against some of the European bad-boys but Liverpool are probably playing better than most of them right now.

Another incredible Liverpool performance. I don't remember going into a game vs United as confident as into this one and the game should have been over by half-time.

Ultimately United could have caused some problems and missed 2 sitters but I always had a feeling we would have scored another if they drew. The title is here, boys!

True we have one of the worst defence currently but lets talk about the piece of shit we kept at the goal post in the name of Kepa (world costliest keeper) yet he has underperformed and hasn't impress anyone especially when we need him the most. If the defenders fuck up can't the keeper save the day? The one time we needed his service in the game yesterday, he was no where to be found.

I never rated him much, but I especially didn't like him after the disrespect he showed Sarri last season (can't remember the game now but that kind of attitude, I can't tolerate in football). I know personalities don't got much to do with football on the field itself, but it's part of the team psychology, if you got a player like that, you know he's not all for the team and that just tells me he won't be there when needed most. He definitely let Lamps and co down.

@Pamoldar well I didn't do too well either, but I hit the sweet spot with 2 exact picks. Again, the problem with that is I keep playing like this and I won't get those precious slam points.

@hilarious: Yeah Salah saved me a lot of parlays as I stupidly added Liverpool to win by 2 goals (to get more than 2/1 odds). I actually thought before the stats confirmed it that the last time I saw that goal was from Pepe Reina (who's just joined Villa).

@the guys in the side bets. I'm not throwing my money or tempting the fates by betting on Liverpool to go unbeaten. Besides, the odds aren't good enough. Might as well bet it on every Liverpool game til end of season. Would probably end up with x10 if you did that for the remaining 16 games!

Farewell LEO: o_e_l_e_o
Man! What is going on with me? I got only 4.5 points in this round. From last few constitutive rounds I am doing my worse. Losing my top position and I can not help it. I got only 2 right pick out of 10 matches. Damn it!



Got the correct score in the Liverpool game in Kloppage time  Grin. Nice assist from Alison and great run and composure from Salah. Surprised that nobody went for the Burnley win. Another one goal ruined my correct score.
Last minute score from Salah made me lucky too. I had a bet for Liverpool to score over 1.5 goals. I was thinking in this match we will see Liverpool a score of 3 -1 for Liverpool. There were chance but luck did not favor.

Quote
I'd bet if it included a draw  Cheesy. I just don't really see any team being that much of a threat to them right now, but I can see them slipping up on a draw. I don't think them playing Wolves away in the next round will be easy. Looking at Liverpool's fixtures they don't really have any big teams coming up until the last handful of games at the end of the season and Liverpool will likely have already won the title by then.
I think Liverpool will win rest of the matches (all of them without any draw) but still having a pool not including draw will be very risky for those who will bet in favor of Liverpool. I am in a fence if I should update it or not LOL.

I think I can since no one yet bet for no defeat or even no draw except me for no defeat. But again too risky.

Anyway if I hear from few more people about including draw too then I will consider to change it to:

Liverpool will not lose any point in rest of the reason:
Yes
No
Depending on the response LOL or the original stands. Guys the last time to join will be, before the next match to start (against Wolves).

Draw will count as defeat or nothing because I am feeling they will be undefeated but held for any match so please clear about this.
Draw is not defeat of course. The defeat only will count once they will lose a match and we get our pull result with that or we wait until the last match Liverpool will have.

Edit:  I hope Pep stays at City tho and let the fans have that rivalry.

I'll lose a lot of respect for him if he runs off and cries to another team just because they didn't win the title. He should just go again next season.

Shit! Wait, is there any other player in the pool without a point in this round ?! Looks like Hhampuz and someone else are with me. I just need to outscore either of in them in the last fixture to avoid the wooden spoon. This literally is my worse round so far in the pool.

I just checked and found out that Rashford is unavailable for United, that's made me change my initial 2 - 0 to 3 - 0 win still for Liverpool even though there's a conflict of interest between the pick and side bet I got into.

Too bad you changed it. I had it down at 1-0 but changed it to 2-0 once I saw the line-ups. Could have been 3 or 4-nil though as Liverpool had two goals disallowed.

Well unfortunately only two were draws out of the ones I picked. A fairly late goal in the Arsenal game costs me my perfect score and nobody got the result right on the City draw. I was one goal away from getting the result on the Southampton/Wolves draw as well. Would have got points on the Norwich game on the draw if it wasn't for the penalty that was given for the blatant defender hand ball. Did anyone see that? It was quite en epic save: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-qrmXXLr-c

At least they've found their reserve goalkeeper now  Cheesy.

That's quite unfortunate despite going for numerous draws to pick the wrong ones. I couldn't see the video, it keeps saying it's restricted to country, I don't know why, though.

Well it's Sky's highlights so they'll only have the rights to show it in the UK. Just search for it and I'm sure whoever has the rights in your country will come up.

And here we are  Grin
1:0 for Liverpool

Liverpool is simply leading the first 15 min of the match, I made a bet just before that goal (Liverpool to win the 1st half  Cool )
Liverpool going to end my red streak in superbru because its first time in 2 season I have 8 out of 9 reds.

50' min Burnley 0-1 Leicester...Just need the Foxes to score 3 more and i'll get the 3pts lol

If the defenders fuck up can't the keeper save the day? The one time we needed his service in the game yesterday, he was no where to be found.<..>
I found this tweet, pretty much sums up Kepa at Chelsea: https://twitter.com/utdarena/status/1218618117221494785 And it's not like lampard can have the luxury of keeping him on the bench since Kepa was a really expensive signing.

Edit:  I hope Pep stays at City tho and let the fans have that rivalry.
yeah, without him we would have: Mou vs Klopp...meh, not that entertaining. But I think he'll stay tho, if it wasn't for Liverpool insane once in a lifetime undefeated run, we would've had another thrilling title race like the one from last season.

EDIT* Leicester 'overperforming' City just lost. If i dont' hear 'We Are the Champions' by Queen playing at Anfield before the game starts and/or after the game ends, i'm going to be extremely dissapointed. Even more dissapointed if i don't see this exact scene with "♪ we are the champioooons ♪" playing in the background   LOL

Tottenham, Arsenal, and Man City drew their games, and now Chelsea lost to a late goal..What the hell is this Matchweek and why do i like it so much?  Grin  
Chelsea are SO BAD on the defence...1 clean sheet in the last 12 away games! Abysmal. At this point (Matchweek 23) there's no such things "no worries, they can improve", pfff, time to buy a couple of players.

About our pool, this must be one of the few rounds where only one user managed to get two digits after Saturday's games.

@buwaytress  Congrats on that single bet win today thanks to Hayden's late goal  Cool

Hah nice!  My 'Chelsea will finish outside the top 6' bet is still alive.  Variance I guess...  The good run won't last forever (unless you're as good as a Klopp managed Liverpool).

If Klopp stays beyond his current contract, LFC could dominate like United did with SAF.

Edit:  I hope Pep stays at City tho and let the fans have that rivalry.

5 draws from the first 7 games, how many have you got ? HilariousandClairvoyant.

Also went for 1-1 on the Newcastle game and narrowly missed out on that with the surprise 1-0 win. Wasn't expecting that. Gone for another draw today in the Leicester game. Leicester should win, but I'm not so sure after last weeks loss so hence the draw. As for the Liverpool/United match I'll wait for the line-ups before I commit. I'll be watching that game for sure.
