I am quite disappointed with my predictions so far. I climbed up a few spaces last week but then I dropped again and now still below 20th position. Not enough to predict two exact scores for Manchester City and Fulham 2-2,,, it seems I simply cannot get things right often.
2 weeks ago you were sitting at 27th now you're at 24th that's not bad tbh and this round you've gained more points than the rest of us. We have 3 matches left to predict before the round ends don't lose hope.  Cheesy

I picked all favorites to win today but i'm having second thoughts that there will be a draw after looking at the results yesterday. All home teams are underdogs and 2 of the favorites had a poor start.

Today my favorite team is playing and they need to win this to get to the same spot as Chelsea and Liverpool. If they can win 3-0, they will be #1, while beating Watford away from 100%. So this is my dream!

I thought I would lose a lot of positions with today results in the games of EPL but only lost two positions and I lost only 1.5 point against the leader. This was the week of some surprises though with Everton failing to win against Huddersfield and Palace losing to Southampton (at least for me these are surprises). Anyway the top is very tight now.

Meh.
The most expensive keeper in the world, ladies and gents.  Cheesy

But a goal well deserved by Leicester tho.  And yup...  Leicester could turn this into a draw.  They're doing some good pressing on Liverpool.

There's a song in Sweden that goes something like "Varför måste alltid Lester kvittera med 4 sekunder kvar", roughly translated to "Why must always Lester equalize with 4 seconds left" and it's quite catchy Cheesy

Oh my, Allison. What on earth was he doing? Maybe this will be his wake up call to stop trying to be flash all the time and just be a solid keeper instead. Klopp won't be happy.

Still, I predicted 2-1, so if both teams could just sit back and relax for the last 25 mins, that would be great.  Grin



You and me both! However I'm not surprised if this goes either way from here..

Anyone think Liverpool could struggle at Leicester today? Not sure whether to go for a risky one or just back Liverpool to win. I#ll wait to see what the line-ups are like before I commit though. Not sure if Vardy's back yet and that will make a huge difference.

Vardy is not playing for sure. I thought he was suspended for few matches but now the line ups are available so it is a moot point. I was thinking between both to score and over 2.5 but after seeing Lpool line up i went with win for Lpool. They have chosen rather defensive midfielders so I am thinking something like 0:2 for Pool.

If you had said at the start of the season "Pick 4 teams that would be joint top after 3 weeks", how many of you would have included Watford in your selections? Grin

Luck of the draw really, though they have been playing well. I don't think they'll stay there for long though. Tomorrow's game against spurs will be the real test for them. If they can get at least point out of that game then there's no telling where they could go.


(I may of forgot to select picks last week  Roll Eyes just realized No Script Suite stops the saving of results Cheesy)

Wondered why you didn't seem to be making them.

Its early doors yet, and they've had a fairly easy fixture list. Should all change tomorrow when they come up against Tottenham, and then the following round they have Man Utd. Although, I would expect them to lose again Spurs they might actually beat Man Utd the way they are playing right now.

Action is back on the Premier League this week again, difficult games this week, pretty unpredictable too, all my predictions, well almost all, I have over 3.5 goals as final results. I was getting bored so the EPL action will give us a boost to our moods.

Well, Man Utd are having a rough time aren't they? Probably fucked some peoples predictions up. I haven't watched them personally, but I'm quite enjoying their run of form as of late. Lets hope it continues Cheesy

Oh, and I keep saying this, but I really need to find the time to fill in the next few months, because I'll be away soon.

^  So prolly Pogba and whoever at the midfield should do a better job on feeding balls to Lukaku then?  Pogba is another no show at match day at times.  He's either inconsistent or Mou is using him the wrong way...  Shouldn't he be played at AM?  What was his usual position at Juve?

Yup, he's good and all but he doesn't look like he's a 'top 4' striker.  Meaning he's awesome for midtable clubs like Everton, but when it comes to the demands of a club like United, it seems like he can't hack it.

Agreed. He was playing better in the world cup, scoring 4 goals, but anyone would play better and score more goals with both Hazard and KDB behind you feeding balls in.

An embarrasing lose for Man.Utd. I believe it is time for Mou to hit the sack and to leave Man.Utd, I strongly believe his time here has expired and cannot bring any more good to the club. The way they played tonight especially in the second half was catastrophic.
Mou are getting sacked in the morning Cheesy. If to talk seriously, I highly doubt that MU board will make decision to sack him in such early phase of season.
I predicted Spurs win 2:1, but I'm really surprised about result. Spurs just dominated in second half.
Very bad week in predictor for me, from 4th to 8th position Cheesy

I think it will be a while before they sack him yet. Give him chance. Glad I got a point from the game, but that third goal cost me half a point, which all add up when you're at the top.



Heh...  Ok.  I'll give it another go.  It's only week 4 into the season anyway...  Must be Mou's mood rubbing on me.  Lmao.

But is it just me or does anybody else think Lukaku is over priced and over rated?  Seriously.  Mou should have started Sanchez up front instead or Rash with the more high pressing, attacking style Mou took.

I don't. He's a quality player, but I just don't think he's a good fit for United, and said it before he even moved there. Lukaku at Everton is a much different beast than at United. I'm sure he'll end up moving on.

Amazing comeback to climb 18 places to unyil and win this week's top spot! And at 19.5 points this means he is the highest weekly spot collector,,, so now somebody has to beat that with 20 points! And now the gap from bottom to top is 25 points so we can see it is getting wider. This is more exciting. I also managed to climb up a few spots. So watch out, friends, I am getting better.

So, a few more games before 2 weeks of break is coming up, good luck all of you,,,

This week was the worst, even before I had put the score 0-2 for Spurs, but before the match began I changed it to a 1-1 draw. Lol!
Mou really can't be trusted anymore, even I'm not sure Mou can lift Man.Utd achievements after Mou is fired from Chelsea. I'm sure Mou will be fired this season, if there are no more significant developments in the club.

*Checks pool results and pool table...  Sees rank and realizes it's impossible to be in the money...  Then closes the app and laughs maniacally*  Grin

See you in the CL pool guys.  I'll drop by from time to time for the friendly banter.

Anybody could win it buddy. You get 3 points for an exact score so realistically a couple of weeks in a row getting 2 - 4 exact scores would probably put you in the top 5.

I MIGHT give the CL pool a miss, not as fun for me if I’m in loads of different pools.

Indeed, I went from being ranked 20 before this round to jumping up to 4th, and I didn't do that well haha. Just gotta match well against others and get a lucky few 3 pointers Cheesy

From 20th to 4th, seriously? That is some recovery bro Grin

Scored 11.5 points so far, and with MU winning this one 2-1 I'll have scored 14.5 points this round Cheesy
