I went for all one-nils on all the games except Norwich/Everton where I went for 1-1. It was between that or 0-0. Just watching the Man U game now and they're already 1-up and I think they'll probably get a couple more. They've already had one disallowed. All other games are currently 0-0 at 34 minutes played.


Wolves should win, but I think it will be close hence my 1-0 pick.

Yeah, those are what I've gone for as well. The Norwich match is shaky for me and could see any result in that but when I can't split them I go for a draw. Norwich need some points if they want to stay up but I don't think they're strong enough to beat Everton, and I don't think Everton are decent enough to beat them away.


I'm backing United to win but not sure I'd put money on just them. Maybe stick them in an accumulator.

I'd stay well away from corners. Sometimes there's loads and other times there's hardly any. I used to put on a lot of the bets where it was like both teams to score, over 4.5 corners, a corner in each half and over x amount of cards etc and it was usually always the corners that let me down. Stopped doing them really unless there's a great offer and the corners aren't really more than 4.5. 9 is too much though.

Lol. What's wrong with that? Personally I think we should be keeping politics out of football, but if they are doing things like BLM then players and fans should be able to support what they want. I remember a while ago UEFA condemned fans showing the Palestinian flag to deeming it to be an “illicit banner”. I'm not sure how a country's flag is illicit but I know they'd never allow an Arab Lives Matter banner despite mass human rights abuses going on in Palestine by Israel, but they'd never dare do that so I'm not sure how they choose what to show support to. Some Qatari players in 2017 were fined for wearing t shirts that were deemed to breach the rules against political statements and Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri were also fined in the World Cup for making "hand gestures with political overtones" so I'm not sure why the rules have changed, or is it only political statements that UEFA agrees with? But that's why I think they should stay out of this stuff. Either let fans and players show support to whatever they want or don't force them to take part in things en masse.

I don't even think players should be wearing the poppy for Remembrance day during matches. It's kind of meaningless when it's something that is forced upon people, especially when they don't give a shit about whatever they're meant to be showing support for. I mean, how many players are wearing the BLM shirts when they're actually racist? Kinda defeats the point and I don't like all this bending over to political pressure from those who screech the loudest. I can guarantee you that other groups will start screeching that they want their logos or catchphrases on the back of shirts at some point and the PL will probably cave to that and then it's a slippery slope.

I haven't seen it as it doesn't seem to have show up on youtube yet, but I have respect for the guy. A lot of fighters don't know when to quit or throw in the towel, even when they're struggling to walk back to their corner or get back up from it between rounds. If you know you're defeated, mentally, physically or both then there's not much point walking out just so you can get knocked down. I liked Dana's response to the situation as well. Hopefully he'll give him another shot at some point.


He's just getting embarrassing now, even if he is only joking. Tyson shouldn't be fighting anyone at his age, but if he does it should be someone his age at least. JJ asking for both a boxing match and an MMA match with him is just stupid. He seems like he really is desperate now to keep his name in the limelight.

Anyone gone for anything other than home wins on both the games today? I don't think Spurs and Leicester should have too much trouble at home against West Ham and Brighton. I suppose the only possible issues is them both fighting relegation.


I expected them to win comfortably but not by 4 or 5. I predicted 2-0 on the pool but was thinking of going with 3-0. A friend said it would be 5 or 6-0 so I asked if he wanted to take the 4-6 City goals and I take 1-3. I regret that now haha. I don't think Burnley are a bad team really and didn't expect them to get turned over, though I didn't watch this game so don't know how they played.

I think it is far too easy for bots and spammers to create accounts here en masse, but bots and spammers could just as easily create email accounts en masse too, so it probably won't really do much apart from give them another hoop to jump through. It may deter some but not the worse offenders.


Is that the actual reasoning behind why we don't have it though? I don't think I've seen theymos (or satoshi) mention that.

I'm really surprised someone went with the Burnley win. Pretty surprised with the draw though to to be honest, but you never know.


Personally I just saw it as one of those games that was potentially going to be really close. Then add to the fact that it's the first game back in three months and it's a scouse derby, and give the home advantage to Liverpool. You win some and you lose some though as I didn't do that great on all the others.

Man City should win comfortably tonight. Anyone gone for anything other than a home win? Wouldn't be surprised if it was a 100% home win prediction.


You guys just bet on Liverpool to win? I mentioned before it's far too risky betting on games right now as it's far too predictable and many teams are still shaky.

Surprised nobody backed Everton to win, and only two picked the draw including me. Everybody else went for the 'Pool win. It was a hard choice for me between the 1-1 or a 1-0 away win but I figured I'd take the risk as it's a derby and the first game back so Liverpool could struggle a bit. Game has been pretty boring so far though Liverpool are the obvious better team. Hopefully Everton can hold them off for a draw but I think Liverpool will score. I just hope Everton can too so I get the perfect score.

Arsenal are shit. Was going to get a point from the draw then they go and concede in the last minute of the game. Hayhay overtook me by 0.5 again. Today's games are another lot of hard to predict ones. Gone for provisional draws but might change them as I'm going for too many draws. I know if I change them though they'll probably come in  . My main concerns are can Liverpool and Chelsea pull off away wins. They should be able to but I'm not convinced, especially after being so long without play. Could be a rough start.


What's your username on there? Did you get it sorted? I saw a couple of users were getting some automatic points from deffered scores so maybe you didn't do as bad as you thought. Players get a handful of them if they miss picks.

Was looking forward to a point from the 0-0 draw on the Watford/Leicester game then Chilwell went and scored a screamer in the 90th minute. Even worse was tokeweed and hayhay (who is 0.5 points behind me) would have got the full three points. Then Watford's Dawson goes and scores an overhead kick in the last minute of play to get me the correct 1-1. Was a largely uneventful game until the last dying moments but both goals were great. I think a lot of the games will be close or potential draws today.

Fucking Dier giving away a penalty with ten minutes to go screwing up my perfect score. United probably deserved a goal though and 1-1 was a fair score as the game was pretty 50-50 and Lloris pulled off a couple of great saves. Glad VAR actually did something useful for once and disallowed the second penalty that was given as it clearly wasn't a penalty.

Can't say I'm that excited about the games tomorrow but I'll probably watch the Watford - Leicester City one. Leicester trying to stay in the Champion's League spots and Watford are trying to avoid relegation.

Gone for 1-0 on the United game and it's that score at halftime. Hopefully they can hold out but I think there will be more goals.

The fake crowd noise is much better in this game. Even the cheers when they scored seemed to be much more natural than the other matches.


Contact support. Surely you can reset your account via email or something.

The sound was better on the City match. I would prefer it as a consistent thing just like as background noise. Doing fake crowd noises and oohs and ahhs when there's a near miss or goal seems a bit weird.


10-0 to Manchester  . Probably not a good idea for people to give their picks out before the game, unless they lie to throw you off . I think these games are far too difficult to predict right now given they're the first matches back from a big break so anything can happen so it's probably best not to listen to others picks. Just go with your own reasoning. I think there could be a either a lot of bore draws maybe even with goalless games or matches with loads of goals. Too hard to say but we'll find out soon enough.

You can't really change the score at half time. Things need to be done in play. I'm sure they'll learn from this and consult VAR next time but I hope they don't do it every time a player claims it happened because I've seen that plenty of times when it didn't go over the line.


VAR should have been used or stepped in at least. Maybe the ref was overly reliant on the technology but it seems to have been pretty efficient previously until then. I don't blame him for not listening to the players either because I've lost count of how many times players have gone to the ref and lied claiming the ball had gone over when it hasn't and they usually just correctly point to their watches to dismiss the claims and the ref probably thought no different this time.


Fix lol. Come on. The tech obviously just failed for whatever reason. It's never going to work 100% of the time.

Too risky to bet on these opening games. Anything can happen. Best waiting a round or two to see how teams form is.


Yeah. You can't turn it off on dazn. Seemed a bit weird at first but it's probably better than nothing really. I prefer it just as background noise rather than them turning the chanting up when there's something happening. That's what makes it sound fake or bad.  Just have it as a constant thing just to drown out the silence.


To be honest I wasn't expecting much. I only watched it because it was the first game back. Normally I would have stayed well away. Happy with the point though. Only one person when with the 0-0.

Is that Yeboah in white in the middle with his classic volley off the crossbar goal? Going back a bit there but looks like it.

Anyone watch the Villa/Sheff United game? Seems like they forgot to turn on both VAR, Goal line technology and the hawkeye as they didn't give a blatant goal that crossed the line.

I went for 1-1. Is anyone watching the game? Seems like they haven't set up goal line technology or VAR yet  . Villa probably should have had a penalty but it didn't go to VAR and then the Villa player accidentally bumped his own keeper who was holding the ball into the net taking it over the line but the ref was indicating that his watch didn't go off so no goal. VAR should have been consulted or stepped in.

Well yeah it's the lower leagues they argued it would effect but the Premier League can easily give them their share of the TV revenues if they were effected, but we know showing games or not doesn't effect them. It's an outdated an faulty argument based on nothing but presumption. The millions possible billions this would bring in extra revenue could easily be shared between lower leagues. I think it would be a good idea for the PL to put some money into supporting the lower league teams more to help them get a boost up for potential growth anyway.

Only ten people have done their picks so far. Over 20 still need to do them.
