VAR at another big controversy, Van Dijk handled the ball it was overlooked maybe not seen(Lol), why was there even a call for a possible offside that wasn't in question to begin with?

The way this Arsenal vs Chelsea match is progressing, I think a draw is possible or Arsenal to win. I really is not seeing a win for Chelsea. Why in the earth I gone with Chelsea 🤪
Don't give up on the process, Lampard is buidling something special. His technical change was on point as immediately jorginho was introduced in the first half, Chelsea started dictating the game that's the reason arsenal couldn't get a second goal. Thankfully Abraham got his top team goal today in a brilliant way thanks to Williams assist.
You went with the right choice as the game ended 2:1 in favor of Chelsea with goals from jorginho (this time it wasn't a penalty kick 😁 but a tap in) and the second goal came from Abraham just 5 mins apart. The way i celebrated the second goal, I'm sure i have never celebrated a goal in that manner before, I was jumping all over the place with joy shouting at the top of my voice. It was awesome. Off to get some refreshments before watching the Liverpool game although we already know it's a win but it might not be that easy.

Dunno... There's something with this Sheffield United squad that seems to be performing a lot better than most would expect. And ofc it'll be nice to get some points when everybody else picked City to win.
The top 10 has only 20 points difference which means one or two good rounds from anyone will change the order dramatically. I was not even in top 15 for most of the weeks at the starting but few average rounds brought me in the first place. Never lose your hopes.

I got draws for Arsenal vs Chelsea and Citeh vs Sheffield United. Citeh prolly feeling a bit down for dropping out of the title and could take a match or two to get some motivation back again (they still could get second).
For the City match I gone with City. You are right they might have some motivational issue but they will not let it worse.

Just treading water in the pool with these average scores now but I'll probably start to move down if I don't step up as the people below me are crawling up.

I was not even in top 15 for most of the weeks at the starting but few average rounds brought me in the first place. Never lose your hopes.I know things can change pretty fast but you can also go down the table pretty fast. My issue is I'm either doing pretty bad or below average and I'm not that confident about the games that are coming up and the rounds that have been played recently. Too many too close to call games mixed in with a fair few upsets.
Yea my point exactly, the league this season is becoming too boring, I remember when everyone was on their feet last season as the competition between Liverpool and Manchester city was intense and made the league very attractive. Manchester city this season has been disappointing.Their rival "united" is picking up some momentum recently as they're now winning winnable games easily and are currently in the top 5, something I didn't think could happen, Rashford has been on fire. I remember some weeks back Abraham was 6 goals ahead of Rashford with him scoring 9 goals and Rashford had just 3 but currently Rashford has 12 goals were Abraham still struggling to score against top teams with 11 goals.
And guess what we're playing against a top team "Arsenal" which likely he might not get a goal but hoping he breaks that cause since we broke the cause of not winning games against top teams in the Tottenham game. Probably Abraham can get himself on the scoreboard. My prediction is very optimistic so I'm going with a 3:1 scoreline in favour of Chelsea
Might make things exiting if Liverpool start losing
. I suppose there's the possibility of them going unbeaten all season. I think they could also still go for highest points achieved in the league as well right? Think they've only drawn two games this season so they should still be in the running for that record which if so is definitely do-able the way they're playing. December 29, 2019, 09:30:51 AM

Only 2.5 points separating the top 3 (after the Norwich vs Spurs & West Ham vs Leicester games).
Now it's 4 points because of getting the correct score in the last match last night.
Arsenal - Chelsea match is going to be tricky today. And in the Liverpool and City match I have them to win. I am sure most of us will have the same thought about this two match.

Cheers - just checked it out now 
Still reckon this is one crazy season - I’m certain there’s never been such random results and definitely never had such a runaway leader !

Yeah, things definitely do come in cycles for football but I think everyone at Liverpool are still rubbing their eyes in disbelief at how good our team's become. Klopp definitely takes most of the credit, along with the policies in transfer and scouting we've had for a while. We've anyway always only taken on players who want to play for the club so that hasn't changed but now we also have players like Mina who want to be with the club and who want to be with Klopp.
Many great managers, but Klopp truly is in a class of his own. Even his rivals can't hate him.
The team of course is the one going out to play games so seeing them grind it out, smash it out, stroll it out, swagger it out, pull points out of the hat in injury time, wrap the game up by half time, every situation they deal with. I've definitely never seen this kind of gap before, not even in a top league dominated by 1 team.
Best of all, we didn't need the bags of money City or Chelsea or United did (barring the outlays on Alisson and VVD -- which also at the standards of the time weren't at all big money, considering what others later paid).
Anyway, gentleman, what a Sunday we got in store! Old Firm derby, then London derby, then Pool, then Citeh!

I can't stop missing. I think I didn't collect 20 points total from the last 3 rounds.
Christmas period is usually my best period in these competitions, I expected to be close to the top and I'm practically out of it now.

I came 3rd the first time we did this for the PL 2017/18
I came 2nd in the World Cup one.
I came 1st last season in the PL one 2018/19
This season looks really tough though. So many guys here know their football.
Good for a competition where the gap of the points is not too big, indeed it is getting tougher than the last year competition.
I'm now at 5th, 10 points difference with you on the leaderboard and 11.5 points difference from the leader.
It looks like a big gap but there are still so many matches to gain points till the end of the league.
So there is still good opportunity most of participants to win this competition especially the current top 10 positions.

So Wolves did the double over Man City !
Hhampuz and buywaytress, congrats - just wondering did you do the double too ? Can’t check historical data on Superbru ?

You're asking me, the guy who remembers who beat City last season and who bets against them as long as it's above 10/1 odds;) But seriously, Wolves 8/1 I don't know why I still took it, should have waited and gone in during live betting after the penalty, or maybe even after 2-0 -- but I was too engrossed in the game tbh!
You can check historical data I think... just click on the round in previous, and then check pool results. Pretty sure it has everything, too lazy to check meself, but here's round 8 with that Wolves win: https://www.superbru.com/premierleague_predictor/play_tipping.php#tab=round8. That one was 21/1
and I was the only one who picked it that time, along with 1% of Superbru. Hasn't paid off yet other than on individual bets...Cheers - just checked it out now

By the way, tomahawk9 already had 3 correct pick out of four (!) and total managed to get 10.5 out of 12 (!).
Just saw that. I literally made my picks half an hour before the Brighton vs Bournemouth game 
Funny how nobody got any points from the Norwhich vs Spurs, pretty much everyone expected an away win. I honestly didn't expect Tottenham to be the team that would screw me over in my four team parlay:

Have you guys seen first eleven from Leicester? Actually it would be more correct to call them reserve squad, there is maybe 2 or max 3 players from the first 11 fielded today. Vardy is not even on the bench. Have a feeling it would have been smarter to rest a player or two against Liverpoll, especially after they have seen what City did to them the week before and than have strongest 11 against weaker teams where they should get 3 points.
Edit: Match ended 2:1 for Leicester so this was an excellent decision from the manager. Have to admit I was a bit nervous when I saw line ups since I had Leicester to win on a big stake ticket.

I managed to get an exact score on Brighton vs B’mouth. Good start for me in this match week but I’m so far off the top it’s laughable.
I do not have any exact score yet and after 4 match my total point looks very poor. Only 3 so far 🤔By the way, tomahawk9 already had 3 correct pick out of four (!) and total managed to get 10.5 out of 12 (!). This could be something one can dream of. May be we will see an all time high scoring round in this one 😀
