Damn casper. 4 exact scores. That would at least have been 1000/1 on an acca!
~snip
had to do it, hoovering middle table, and show is closing to an end, time to attack upper positions ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) have to say that, for a moment, I was happy to see tomahawk9 with 7 points, thought he is back, but those are all default picks (seems as an easy round in Champions league), hope that he is ok, he vanished from forum during WC, and does not participate in any pool or FPL since then

Offcourse, I put bet on Barca win, I believe in my team, even if we aren't favorites. But I have bad feeling, mainly because all these terrible performances in knockout stages in few past seasons.
I am thinking United is probably closer to qualification today than Barca, both teams are much better on home ground and Rashford is in incredible form. My bet as usual is both to score and I hope that will pass as easy as last week. Barca missing Pedri, Gavi and Dembele will be much weaker for sure so I really hope game goes your way, that basically means mine bet passes as well ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) have no favorites tonight, and my ship has sink in Conference league, so will just enjoy the match Rashford and Osimneh are probably two players in best form atm, and that could mean a lot in matches like this one tonight, but my thoughts are with Barca to pass through somehow not sure about goals, hopefully BTTS will pass, but United has solid defense looking at their last matches, they pretty much polished it with clean sheets Sporting and Juventus proved that home ground advantage doesn't mean shit, if you are stronger opponent

Partizan didn't use their advantage from first match, and lost it at home, not sure what to think, but expected to see us in next round
on the bright side, Maximiano is getting chances on Lazio goal in Europa Conference league at least, and produced two clean sheet against Cluj (not that much of a success, but nice to see him between bars)
Basel still to go, solid odds on a home win, and they need it to equalize Trabzon lead from first match

Leipzig played draw with City, while Frankfurt lost against Napoli at home, and they are playing each-other in Bundesliga, should be an easy win for Leipzig? looking at Bayern vs Union, and table/odds, Bundesliga looks like a joke ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) leader is playing third team, and odds are @1.33 can Dortmund win Bundesliga this season, they are in huge winning strike since WC, odds @8.5 feels worth a try

-snip In simpler terms free hit and wildcard both cover all transfers you do that week. You can even make transfers pay them with minus points and then activate. It will still erase your minus.
I don't like to take minus points, but this week it will probably be necessary, made a mistake with last week changes, and have to change that interesting weeks ahead, DGW and blanks, this can thumb teams a lot, considering Free Hit for some as well, but not for this week it is important to get in players that will play, Mahrez is under question due to Pep being smart-ass

Nice round win @Casper, 4 exact scores from the last 5 fixtures is definitely no fluke, congratulations!
thanks, predicting Real win with exact score would be against all odds but, as I already said, having City with odds lower than Napoli to win in Germany was a bad decision by bookies, Leipzig didn't play well, but City is not showing much lately it was a last moment to get into podium race

In addition all the players are supertop so its more like a chemistry between players than skills of them. What are the main diference between top coachs? How they manage the locker room.
mostly agree with this, some teams have better players than others, and we have to admit that, but between same level teams locker room makes a difference (and some tactics, if you are Jose Mo, and don't mind having all your players in your own yard) but, overall, good manager has to make harmony in the team, and Klopp failed with Mane and Salah (Mane obviously felt not appreciated enough) and that is a main difference between this and last season, some players are not seen enough until they left
|
|
|
An amazing result (Real Madrid again! how I love it!) but there is also a sad part - don't you think this is the end of Klopp's Liverpool? ~snip
yeah, seems that this is the end for Klopp, and his after match statement about how you can't really defend from Real, due to their high class players, it does become inevitable but, tonight I do not expect too much goals, more in Germany than in Italy, but under2.5 on both matches is Porto able to get clean sheet tonight, Inter attackers are far from reliable, maybe Dzeko can be the one to score

nista posebno, ali Ethereum je presao nivo od -30k ETH u odnosu na broj tokena u opticaju kad je bio merge a za 15-tak dana će doći momenat kad je praktično broj tokena u opticaju za 2 miliona manji nego da je Ethereum nastavio sa PoW konsenzusom
a to bi moglo da se poklopi sa Shanghai nadogradnjom i otkljucavanjem mogućnosti da se ETH povuče iz PoS ugovora

If you are in the 10th position in a pool consisting of 16 participants then you wouldn't absolutely think that you are successful.
What about if you're 14/16? Would one say I should just give up and find something else to do with my free time? ~snip there is always a free-bet to play for but there is also a non-giving-up mentality, to try and improve, when I am at 14/16, I lower my goal from winning the pool to reach top half in the end and yeah, this season is challenging, when I think about what I had in mind as possible placement (CL positions, EL, relegation), most are missed by a lot (Verona and Sampdoria were not even considered as relegation fighters from my position at the season beginning)

Unfortunately, no good news for Valencia, debut managerial loss, but it was sort of to be expected anyway. ~snip
it was a bit better play, but we lost our chances, and conceived near the end they had their chances too, and put that one in the net tough times, struggling in relegation zone, hopefully not for long time Barca is going to have difficult match in Manchester, but somehow my thoughts are with them to pass through

~snip I'm really curious about Bayern - Union next weekend. Odds are favoring Bayern massively (Bayern win is at 1.32), which is favoring Bayern incredibly. Yes, Bayern is playing at home and Union is not very strong in away games and Union's draw against Schalke has been week as well but the week after, Bayern vs. Stuttgart is odds at 1.44 for a Bayern win - against Stuttgart, a team playing to stay in Bundesliga. I's just very surprising...
didn't check that one out, but yeah, those odds are far from realistic, Stuttgart should be weaker opponent than Union at the moment and just after match with Union, Bayern has derby with PSG, so there could be some stretch to expect surprise, while against Stuttgart, it is just name that keeps Stuttgart in play maybe they know something about Union, that we don't know, and will become known after EL match with Ajax?

Sevilla shat the bed, shame if we're surprised.
Yeah there is a good reason why we avoid teams like Sevilla on our tickets. I was even tempted by them today since they were starting to show some semblance of the form in recent weeks. They even managed to record some solid results but in typical Sevilla fashion they blow it up as soon as we start to believe a little. I actually thought they are going to win that one, but it is kind a hard to imagine that Rayo is going to press them up to the wall in second half and Sevilla could not make it to secure a win, they even struggled to secure a draw one more in this round, and I just changed my prediction in the pool, Baraja is back to lead Valencia, this one should not come as a lose tonight, expecting goals and fire against Getafe, not sure about a win

~snip It was harsh decision, but Upamecano was last defender remaining, if not foul, Gladbach player would go 1 on 1 with Sommer, so it was last hope foul.
interesting fact is that no matter M'Gladbach being constant "pain" for Bayern, everyone (me included) in the pool predicted that Bayern (that is not in some great form and have PSG in mind) will win - pure consensus I was thinking to put M'Gladbach to win, but Bayern didn't win in last five their matches, and M'Gladach had two wins and a draw in last three Bundesliga matches at home with Bayern, so thought - it has to stop at some point, obviously not on past Sunday not sure, but they probably have best statistics against Bayern in last few seasons

~snip
Porto for sure can be the upset of the week -- City will probably get 5-0.
interesting I am leaning toward Leipzig to make City life pretty much difficult, maybe not that difficult to pass through, but 5:0 is as far from my expectations, as result can be at this form, and Bundesliga opponents, I cannot imagine that odds on Napoli are higher than odds on City, they are in great form, and playing weaker opponent, City is a bit better team, but that should be connected with form as well

Bye, bye, Eindhoven. I know you weren't meant to be, but you were supposed to prove us wrong for a little while more. Took the lead, couldn't hold on. And you can't say Utrecht didn't deserve a share of the spoils, either.
P.S. Branthwaite been in the news all the day today, and seems he is already opening up channels with Dyche at Everton. Decided to celebrate with a yellow card.
yeah, Eindhoven is getting far from the title, with each round, but Feyenoord won important battle against AZ, to keep up momentum, will they survive is hard to tell regarding Branthwaite, he did not ruled out moving to Liverpool at the end of the season, and IMO it is hard to expect him getting back to Everton, even if we stay in EPL (which should be the case with Dyche), and yeah, he is scoring for PSV almost regularly lately, so yellow card should be forgiven

-snip
After some impressive Mahrez performance Guardiola still decided to drop him to the bench, maybe the only 3 players worth having on that roster is Ederson, KDB and Haaland, unless you want keep playing a good guessing game week in, week out.
this guessing game requires to much transfers IMO, and there are better options had three City players due to double week, but will probably cut some in future weeks, Akanji and Mahrez had no time on the pitch this week at all Rashford is probably best pick, considering price and form

Ali na kraju sam shvatio da je bolje dobivati $50-$70 tjedno u BTC-u nego neke shitcoine za koje je pitanje hoće li ikad išta vrijediti. Naravno da se može ubosti dobar projekt kao što si ti upiknuo s PYR-om ali to je prema mom iskustvu jako rijetko.
bas to kako je napisano, uzmes stalni prihod u BTC, a onda mozes uleteti $50 od toga u neki altcoin, ako ti se bas ucini da je to pobednik, manje vremena trosis na altcoine, a mozes ponekad ubosti i premiju i kad pogledas, to ti je kao da svake nedelje menjas altcoin kampanju, ako svake nedelje uletis tih $50 u neki altcoin projekat, a ovako bi pisao bar par nedelja za isti iznos ili manji tog altcoina, efikasnost ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Next is City to respond, and to give some weird context of what bookies are rating them, Forest are ONLY below 9/1 to win. Southampton away to Chelsea are less likely to win according to odds...
Pep is a character, looking at their play I cannot decide are they just having fun, or want to get this title nevertheless, Everton took important points at home, clean sheet is a standard at home since Dyche came, and we are scoring that one that brings three pointers, by defenders Dyche started an investigation into DCL car seat and matress, to find a reason for injuries ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

bringing in Tarkowski, and Sean Dyche is starting with reelgation fight at our best
important win, to push Leeds into relegation zone, Bournemouth won important duel as well, Chelsea is a real shit, expected clean sheet from them Arsenal will win title only if City lost it, and they are playing with their chances
