Come on folks , a few people have got to get their picks in !
First game on TONIGHT.
Proper bottom of the table clash . Plenty of goals Huh?

I wouldn't count on it, both teams are terrible while attacking so, we'd very lucky to get 3 goals here, Imo.

I really wouldn't back Watford, especially away. I think it will either be a bore draw or Norwich will narrowly win. Don't forget they beat City at home a month or so ago and Watford haven't even won a single game yet and I don't think this one is going to be it.

I really don't trust Watford too, I went for a draw in the pool, but then I have a huge feeling that Watford will get their first win tonight.

Look like we are going to watch first win for Watford as they are improving and Norwich is going down day by day over 2.5 and Watford to win is very good going right now.

Almost missed this, but the notification came to the email. Grin
Agree about Norwich who might win the game, only picked score 2-1 but somehow, it seems like I have other feelings about the final result being 2-0. Norwich is very good at home with always having a goal even though the end result is losing, different when playing away. So I'm sure Norwich will really use this moment to get 3pts.

Jesus guys, I almost forgot to do anything about the games tonight. Totally remembered in the morning feeling happy it was Friday, then the day got heavier and heavier and I forgot everything until 2 minutes ago.

Watford should get their first win tonight, but the odds are so shit I'm going to avoid tonight.

Trying not to only care about Sunday, maybe tomorrow rest and watch some shit.

@hilarious: I'm definitely happy to share Dazn if you get it, just let me know how to cover my share. I will use on 1 device (laptop) but MAYBE also on mobile if I'm travelling, which happens a lot on weekend afternoons. So max 2 devices. No idea how these things work but pretty sure these days they're easy peasy.

Good luck guys?

Shush!  Lips sealed Don't wake up them. At least this way, I could rank up in the table.  Cheesy

Surprisingly odds are less for Watford on almost every site. I guess this one will most probably end in draw or Watford will win by 2-1. I am going with the letter.

Predictions for the weekend submitted, I thought there were some really tough games to predict in this game week.

Done my best any way, let’s see what happens.

Has anybody else noticed the 2-1 luck of Liverpool? Liverpool has won 6 out of 15 matches this season with the scoreline of 2-1. Out of these 6 matches, 5 came in Premier League from 11 matches. Will Liverpool get the same fate against Man City? Or will Liverpool face its first defeat in PL?
Good thing for Liverpool is that Ederson most probably won't play in this clash and Bravo not looking in right shape.

I had a miserable weekend of predictions in the weekend just gone. If it was a school report I’d have got an E.
Must do better next weekend, must do better.
Somehow the last round was one of my best round and with that excitement I already made my picks for this week LOL
Hopefully I will have another good round.
My goal was to be in the top ten and now since I had it, my new goal is to be in the top five.
I hope I am not expecting too much. 🤪

I hope Gomes makes a full recovery, the pictures & footage of that injury look awful. I wouldn’t wish that kind of injury on any player. Poor guy, he’s going to be out fir a long time.

Yup...  But from the vids I've seen (no slowmo, no close up), it didn't look like it was deliberate.  I've seen worse from Luis Suarez at Ajax...  During practice.  Lmao.

I couldn't find the gif anymore but it was a really nasty two footed tackle from behind hitting the calf area.
I seen this and now feeling this season is already over for Gomes as now its going to take some very long time for back in ground and Son's reaction was also very sad as he was also feeling pain but no one can stop injuries like these its happen we have in our ground some time ago and now life of this person is really awful.

I agree with Hilarious, you don't have to check the legitimacy of every goal even when there's probably nothing not clear at first sight, and moroever the referee should be the only one checking VAR and deciding the call to make. I've seen several occasion where the referee will just listen to VAR team and make the call, which are sometimes wrong, at least IMO.

Yes, I agree with this as well. I do not like how VAR is used in England, we talk more about VAR than we ever talked about refereeing before.
I just said that in this occasion VAR actually confirmed the linesman's decisions.

He's had a successful surgery so it's just about how well he recovers now. I hope there will still be a lot chances to prove his Valencia's performance.  The footage were indeed scary and I wouldn't wish that on my favorite team's fiercest rival.

Var should only be used when called upon. Don't go looking for stuff to disallow the goal as you'll find something half the time. Give the teams three appeals like in tennis. I really doubt they would have used one for that goal, and even then, if it was studied better it probably wouldn't be offside anyway and that really defeats the purpose of VAR when they're getting it wrong. Even footballers who were for var are saying it's ruining the game.

Although I agree that VAR is used horribly in England (it works better everywhere else), in this situation the goal would have been disallowed without VAR as well. The linesman let the Aston Villa goal stand and raised his flag for the Firmino goal. So, in this specific case, we are blaming VAR for wrong calls but the linesmen would have gotten them wrong as well (or at least one of them because I think that the Villa goal was a good call).

Also, I read on some newspaper speculation that is a possible career-ending, I hope they are wrong.
Is there even a full medical report from Everton? Newspapers sure love to exaggerate things. Coleman, his teammate, broke his tibia and fibula (I'd get you a picture but it is extremely graphic) and the guy is still playing in competitive football two years after that horrific injury so, don't believe such "news".
Whatever it is, I mean the newpaper - it is obvious that he will need a long time to recover. I just hope that he gets well soon. It really hurts a lot to see someone going through this kind of situations. I hope son does not take it too personally. It was a part of the game and a big accident.

Did anyone spot the bitcoin signs in the perimeter boards in the Everton vs Spurs game? Pretty cool (can't find a pic tho :/)

Where they for one of the bitcoin sportsbooks? I saw some in a couple of the other games yesterday that mentioned bitcoin in the advert. Think it might have been sportsbet but there was also another. Either way, nice to see bitcoin getting some mainstream promo.

12 minutes of injury time lol. What happened?

There was few long VAR checks and a real bad injury for Andre Gomes. I am quite sure he broke his leg. They didn't show it on replay but it seemed to me on first watching that his foot was turned 90 degrees. Son and Aurier were involved in incident and they both looked like the are on verge of vomiting so it wasn't anything good. Hopefully he will make full recovery.

Yeah, they didn't show or mention it on the highlights I watched, but I was wondering why Son was reacting like he'd just seen someone murdered. Looking at it again it doesn't seem like it was Son's tackle that broke it but the follow up one by another player.

The Yelow Cap is in da house!


Congrats. Think you should be in the top 5 highest round scorers now.

.
Oh shit! Such injuries is the worst part of sport.
I like Son a lot, but this foul was really stupid and not needed, it was obvious that's not going to end well. No surprise that he is getting lot of hate. Obviously he didn't wanted to hurt Gomes, and he was in tears after accident. Unfortunately, such things happens sometimes...

I don't think Son's foul made damage, more are from Aurier's start. Though it doesn't change the fact that its terrible injury.
Also, I read on some newspaper speculation that is a possible career-ending, I hope they are wrong.

All leg breaks are possible career ending, but they're usually not. It all depends how they heal. He'll likely be out for this season though.

Son is getting hate because it looked like a revenge tackle for that elbow he received a minute or 2 before. Sure, he did not mean to hurt him and Son really seems like a nice guy but this was reckless and the outcome is horrible. I honestly think it was not even a red card, but really foolish and unnecessary from Son.

The red should probably be rescinded in my opinion. The ref gave the red after he saw the extent of the break and probably assumed Son was responsible.

Yeah VAR's just silly all around. Like Klopp said, we shouldn't be waiting and at the end of the game be able to laugh about it, but to have a goal chalked off because of an armpit offside is plumbing new depths of being silly. Sure, we got another last gasp victory and it will be a huge boost for next week's Super Sunday but it needn't have been like that if EPL just takes a bit more pragmatism to the VAR approach.

Var should only be used when called upon. Don't go looking for stuff to disallow the goal as you'll find something half the time. Give the teams three appeals like in tennis. I really doubt they would have used one for that goal, and even then, if it was studied better it probably wouldn't be offside anyway and that really defeats the purpose of VAR when they're getting it wrong.

@hilarious Dazn looks like it could be nice, but I'd have to sort out that Canadian dedicated VPN first right? $2 per month and how much is Dazn? Would it stream proper thru VPN at 50mbps? I know, it's a bit sucky but my neighbourhood apparently can't do more from cable.

Well you can share mine if I get it. You can have up to five devices so you could use it as well. Dazn is $150 for thew year which is about £80 which is a steal for all the content they offer. I think Sky Sports would cost you that a month in the UK. If you want to split the cost I'd be ok with that. I'm going to try get it set up today so I'll let you know how it goes.
