Played a lot of draws today and not a single draw , I played Man.Utd draw, Arsenal draw , and got 0 points from this game. I even have Liverpool draw 1-1. Not a single correct score today and this week has been the worst for me so far. I totally forgot to put the predictions before 1 pm a clock and then I installed Superbru and did the thing with my phone. It is always nice to do it wherever you are.

Well, 3 points for you then, my friend! I was prepared to contemplate a first league loss even when Sturridge came on, but the magic arrived when it was needed most. Fair result on the balance of it and the way Sarri and Klopp embraced smiling, I guess it's nice to be friends with our rivals, change of sentiment after the Mourinho ghost goal era for sure.

Pity we didn't win, and City are top on goal difference but since we meet them next, there's really no better way than to reclaim it... After Napoli of course.

Meh...  Adama Traore starts on the bench again.  Anyway, made a bet on the Wolves at, I guess, fair odds.  ML (vs Southampton at home) at 1.93 after being at 1.80ish all week.

And I guess it's pretty much safe to say that United is def in crisis.  But what if Mou got all the signings he needed, would their campaign a lot more different?  Just something to think about...

Edit:  Damn.  Austin and Ings.  Could be deadly.

Well done to LFC Bitcoin for being the only one to get 1.5 points from first game. You deserve 3 points but West Ham had to score another one. My god, I predicted only 1 goal,,, but I guess West Ham found out how to score again, Pellegrini looked so happy, the fans all looked so happy, 60,000 of them.

I kept betting draw for United but I thought they had to win this one. Looks like I was wrong.

^  Didn't the Hammers have +0.5 at a tad over a coin flip?  I was thinking on betting on that one, but you just can't say with United.  Tho I think it's gonna be a draw, and under 2.5 (I haven't checked the score yet atm and I'm not watching the game).

Edit:  WTF MOU!?!

Edit:  Rofl wow.  United got 5 defenders plus Fellaini and Matic, but they're still behind by two...?  Wow.

I'm going to miss the Liverpool game today as I'm out on a stag due. Shame. I thought it was Sunday they were playing. Anyway, regardless of the result mid week I think Liverpool will win comfortably as long as Van djik is fit and ready to play. Something about bruised ribs or something. Mind games or genuine?

Genuine... he actually had it from the PSG game, aggravated last week and took off mid-game. I would rather still bench him and use him only if needed. This Chelsea win is incredibly important though, and it could be Klopp uses him now and rests him for Napoli. But we'll need him for sure against City so it's a difficult gauntlet to run.

Lololol.  I just saw LFC_Bitcoin's prediction for the West Ham - Man United match...  The first thought that went in my head was:  'I can feel the hate flow thru you'.  Lmao.  Cheesy

I predicted differently, but I do have a bet on the Hammers going for a win at just over 4/1. They had a great cup game, which is too bad, because bookies would ordinarily have put Utd at a 1.5 bet to win this. That it's over 2/1 is great value for United fans.

The thing is both teams will field weaker sides especially because they are playing each other again on the weekend. But, I feel that Liverpool has the squad depth to field a very capable team. Everyone bangs on about Mignolet, and how awful he is. However, he's gone far with them in cups before, and is a excellent penalty saver if it comes to that. He's not a terrible choice like the fans are kicking up. I think we'll see Sturridge, and Shaqiri get some game time too. I'll be watching this game in the background to get a decent feel of the fans reception of both teams.

That is because the saying fortune favors the bold. In this case Liverpool is the bold because they have full points so far from the EPL and although they are not shinning in attack they are winning games. This gives enough boost to the adrenaline and euphoria of the team and I think Chelsea don't stand a chance against them on Sunday. Cup games are not real testers as many teams do not play their official 11, rather give the opportunity to new players to test them.

Its exactly why so many people are predicting them to win it. They haven't even clicked, and are still turning mediocre performances into wins. That's the winning mentality they have, and as soon as they click I would be worried about facing them. You only have to look at the Reddit of their opponents, and its literal fear of getting smashed, and losing goal difference. A lot of saints fans thought it would be a lot worse. Seemed like Liverpool took their foot off the pedal in the 2nd half to account for their up and coming fixtures which at first looked a little daunting.

When/if they click it could be devastating. Liverpool have just been grinding out results which they never would of done last season.

Last season it took Salah the first 10 games to score 5 goals. Then he scored 5 more in the next 3 games. And we all know how he finished that season.

He's only scored 3 goals so far this season. The fact that Liverpool are top despite them not clicking, as you say, is impressive. If Salah can come back up to the form he was in at the end of last season, Liverpool could run away with it.

Chelsea game against Liverpool I think there will be no story here, Liverpool will have an easy win. Chelsea just run the ball against West Ham and did not create any real threat during all the game. If they play like this, they do not stand a single chance against a super Liverpool in this beginning of the EPL.

I wouldn't be too sure. They have a cup game tomorrow, and will both be able to figure each other out. If Hazard shows up to the game usually the rest of the team does. Don't forget Liverpool haven't exactly been clicking. At least their front 3. That's the scary part though. When/if they click it could be devastating. Liverpool have just been grinding out results which they never would of done last season.

^  There was a rumor that David Moyes sent Zaha back to Palace cos he was fooling around Moyes' daughter (prolly having sex).  I'm not really sure how true it was, but it went around quite a bit...

I think that was true yeah, I searched for her on Twitter a while back & she’s on there. Quite soik & blonde, pretty. Looks like what footballers go for, I bet it’s true Grin

As for the weekend I did OK in the pool, currently in 5th place I think.

1 win for Spurs and we still have hope to turn things around. I do not care Kane did the penalty for goal, it is still a goal and he needs the confidence to help the team climb back up. Predictor performance is improving, nobody would guess for the Chelsea draw so whoever got that right deserve some applause.

Strange to see Watford and AFC Bournemouth above and below Us and Manchester United and Arsenal. Just good thing we have goal difference at this point, can you imagine United with 0 goal difference after 6 games?

This was awful weekend for me. Both in our predictor and in the bookies. Managed to get almost everything wrong but Chelsea not winning today cost me quite a lot of money. It was my top pick of the weekend and I usually get those right. And the weekend started so well. I had money on Watford to score first and not to lose the match.

Ah well now it is waiting game until next matchday Smiley

I lost all my bets I put on but did pretty well in the predictor after falling down the table quite a bit last week. Four correct scores and back up into the top five and only three points away from first position. Burnley turning over Bournemouth 4-0 was a shock. I said they might bounce back with this game and being at home where they're usually strong at but tried to play it safe with a 1-1 draw. Luckily few people even backed them to win. Can't say I'm looking forward to any game this weekend other than the Chelsea / Liverpool one.

Whoa the Hammers held vs Chelsea...  I didn't watch the game.  But from looking at the stats, it seems like Chelsea should be up by two...?  

Sometimes the stats look good but the club was actually stale when you watch the match as how some City matches are.

Abysmal performance from Chelsea, they had the ball but they couldn't do anything with it. West Ham were absolutely incredible on the defence, the back four were superb, and Fabianski was fantastic were Hazard & Co. managed to break the two defensive lines. West Ham deserved more, but the final score is fair. If they can keep up this form against the top teams, West Ham might become a tough side to beat.

I didn't expect Man Utd and Chelsea to drop points this weekend, both teams messed up my bets and my predictions (I had both to win their respective matches  Lips sealed ) though somehow I'm still in the top 3 in our league.

I was kind of watching whilst doing other things. They seemed to dominate the first 10 minutes or so, and threatened a few times. But, then West ham started to hit a few counters, and it eventually turned to a pretty boring game where no team had any real opportunities to score.
