No thanks necessary. It doesn't take much to organise really as superbru luckily does everything we need and I probably enjoy it as much as anyone else. Gives me something to look forward to on the weekend and makes you care about games you would otherwise have no interest in so a lot of entertainment for a measly £25 quid or so.

The United game looks like it's going to be the decider on who comes out top on points from the weekly round. The top five are all in the running if they can get the full 3 points:

LTU_btc 17.5
   
hilariousandco 16.5
   
MoSala 16
   
tokeweed 15.5
   
bigdaddy 15

LTU has already gone to the top of the leaderboard in weekly round points and with one game to go. Current consolation prize winner leaderboard:

cryptofrka 16.5
hilariousandco 14.5
Sojourner 14.5
Brainboss 14

So remember even if you're unlikely to win a top spot you can always get a consolation prize. It's still to early to count yourself out though as a run of good forum can quickly take you to the top so don't give up.


Leicester are doing really well this season, though this result should be expected from a ten-man Newcastle team. Liverpool are playing Leicester next week and that could be an interesting game. Could they take some points away from Liverpool? At Anfield I'm not so sure but it will be a game to watch.

Yeah the match watch stressful to watch and in this season this was the match I was watching with stress since we were taking time to score but after the score it was also stressful. Any moment Sheff could score and then we had to share the point losing two valuable points. A win is a win and that 3 point assures that whatever we go through we are aiming for the season title.

Talking about City, they are very good team. They will be looking forward to Liverpool to make mistakes so that they can leverage it. I do not see any team in this season who can really challenge City despite them missing a lot of chance to score. The only team who can challenge is us. And I hope we win in that battle.

I went to Kiev & Madrid, I met fellow forum member micgoossens at the final in Madrid.

Good times

Croatia. Liverpool through and through though, didn't miss 20 games in the last 10 years. Been a fan for more than 20.
I really like football, yea. Glad I found a place with so many LFC fans here.

But it's really easy to support us now. We'll see who will stay if the dark ages return
What I always loved about LFC, no matter how poor we occasionally were, you just knew we'd nick a trophy here or there. Even Kenny won 1 and lost another final with that horrible Carroll disallowed goal. I was in London then.
Now with Klopp, even after 3 final losses, I was never worried. It just had to come.

No, No  I got Liverpool in a parlay with Inter, PSG and Rijeka, that's why I was waiting for the final whistle
and my pick on the pool was 0:3 so I got the 1 point for the result only, I was expecting more goals, but, next week new chance to get more points

Yeah I had Arsenal to win too. I just fancy them to steal the points at Old Trafford. United are a mess atm & Ole will get the sack before New Year, surely.

That game was hell yesterday, I didn’t go. I was watching on TV which is worse because I was sober
It was so frustrating, we just couldn’t score until Gini’s fluke. Mane should have had two, Salah one. We should have won comfortably, even without playing well.

Good sign that we win when we’re not playing well though. Fergie made a career of winning like that. It’s the sign of Champions.

@LFC nothing like a nervy lucky win to compare with the Foxes' strong game just before our showdown eh? Vardy is really getting a second life in this new look Leicester. But they are good for their 3rd place now. Would be ao delicious to see them even steal second from Citeh.

Can't seem to load superbru so can't see where I'm at but I know I backed the upset. Magpies were never coming back from the sending off.

Now if Arsenal could make my day tomorrow...

@cryptofrka - You know your history & your football. I like it, where are you from?

@Pamoldar - Sheff Utd away was an ugly game man, a really ugly game but 3 points is 3 points. City aren’t looking as good are they? They’re conceding lots of chances & they didn’t last season. We’re in a good place but still a long way to go.

I was worried until the final whistle. It was a relief when the referee ended the match.  

Man this week I do not even see my name in the point table LOL
Terrible week for me.

I somehow managed 1 points today and so far I have 9 while the top scorer has 17.5. Good thing is that this week everyone has performed well. ranging from 11 to 17.5 is not bad at all.

Agreed. I could not stand him from the moment he joined. You could instantly see he is a talker and not much more.
He gave us 1 great season, yea. But what he did after it was a tragedy.

He cost us Sterling by playing him at wingback, he went with our F team to Bernabeu after we were without CL football for such a long time, he backstabbed his whole staff to get another season and he is the only 3+ years manager of our club without a trophy.

In my mind i think  if Lester can maintain his performance,Will win the league title.
Leicester He can win on Liverpool in the next week. This time I will bet for Leicester.

I hated Rodgers towards the end of his time at LFC. He did well in 2013/14 but that was mostly due to Suarez being in the form of his life, carrying the team.

When Suarez left we fell to pieces & Rodgers had no idea how to fix the mess he had created.

Oh, I can't wait to wipe away Rodgers' smile with a hammering.
Although, it has to be said that their counter-attack is looking really good. But I still feel we will cruise that game.

Damn! It's 2 - 0 now, and there are 12 users with that scoreline, I went with 2 - 1 but I doubt that happening with Newcastle playing with 10 men. Hilarious is looking unstoppable this week.

EDIT: It's 3 - 0, better I think   Tomahawk is the only person that went with that.

Now It's 4 - 0 

3-0 with 30 minutes to go, this could get really ugly
Our (Liverpool’s) next PL game is at Anfield next weekend against Leicester.

As expected, it's going well for Leicester so far. Early red card made it easier but Newcastle is a really strong contender for the drop this season. They are horrible, Ashley is killing that club for far too long.

Ole’s under pressure atm, I think they might beat Arsenal tbh. The home crowd will be up for it & it OT can be a cauldron of white hot noise at times.

I was thinking of putting 2-2 initially but changed my mind & went 2-1 to Arsenal. It’s a really close match up I think, could easily be a win for Man Utd if they sort themselves out.

It is a tough one to call, yea. I went for 2-2, both teams are attacking minded and have problems in defense. Arsenal will miss Lacazette, but they still have enough speed through Auba and Pepe to punish United on the counter.

I miss only one game Aston Villa vs. Burnley, in all other got "close" 1.5 points, but still dropped one place on the table.  It seems, there were no major surprises in this round.
I agree with you about ManU vs. Arsenal game. All results are possible there. I expect a draw. Both teams have poor defence and do not score many goals.
