It's my pleasure, my team is not so acquainted to your team's style of play yet, so it's likely going to be boring and tough day for them as they don't know what to expect but, also that's the beauty of the sport right ? when there is a surprise factor that's unknown to either side until the game begins.

It is a much deserved title for Bayer in all fairness, and they are doing it in a very remarkable fashion at that, a kind of dominance that would have been expected of no other team but Bayern Munich. Leverkusen are still unbeaten in the league despite being behind on several occasions, they've always managed to turn it around, they have the best goal difference and the least goal conceded, what else could have been required of them to go down in the history of books of the Bundesliga ? There's nothing else I can possibly think of.

I don't agree with that either, it's Real Madrid we are talking about here, and for all we know they've defy even greater odds, so whatever Man City might have in store playing at the Etihad or not doesn't warrant Real Madrid being such a heavy underdog. A Real Madrid side that is currently 15 matches unbeaten in all competitions is definitely worth a ride here in my candid.

Real Madrid ML + Atletico Madrid ML @ 14.4 Odds is a steal imo.

It now just a cat and mouse chase between Barcelona and Real Madrid, Barcelona have gone the last 6 La Liga games without conceding any goal, while winning coming out victorious in 5 of those 6 matches, the game against Athletic Bilbao being the only draw so far, but Real Madrid have managed to keep the distance too and have not given any point away either. It's still going to be an interesting running to the end of the season because the El Classico is coming up next week, and it's going to play a huge role in how the season could end.

They sure aren't getting off the hook easily, not after that back to back defeats, there is absolutely no room for complacency, not now, not until the season ends

I'm still finding it hard to make a decision whether or not to watch Sinner vs Tsitsipas matchup and watch Tottenham against Newcastle match instead, However, Tottenham matches are often quite boring to me personally, but playing against Newcastle is having me rethink.

Free tennis tip:

Jannik Sinner to win in straight sets or Sinner under 12.5 total games, the former is @ 1.88 while the latter is valued @ 2.15 Odds

Why the hell not ? I mean did you watch the Atalanta game ? If you did you should see how promising Diogo Jota was for the few minutes he came on, while Darwin Nunez have been wasteful in front of goal, Jota should get a lot of minutes and he's a better finisher than Darwin in my opinion. I have Nunez already so I won't be getting Jota, simply because it will cost 2-3 transfers as Jota is classified as Midfielder and I already have 3 Liverpool players, which means I'll need the first transfer to take out a Liverpool player e.g; Bradley / Nunez for a defender or forward from another team, then the second transfer to bring Jota in.

My team is getting a whole lot of rest this week, they finished the job too early and the extra resting days should keep them in a greater shape for the next fixture.



I guess you're right about how cocky Liverpool can be about how much of a stronghold the Anfield is, and would I blame them ? No, because they were able to make a fortress off the stadium, especially whenever their 12th man is at a full force singing and intimidating almost any visiting team.

Maybe you're the only one enjoying the Liverpool's downfall, at least because you're a Chelsea fan and your club is literally done for, with barely have nothing to play for, so it's pretty much understandable.

Jota didn't play that much to be sure about his performance, but with little number of minutes he played for, he made some impact, created beautiful runs and spaces, he could have even gotten on the scoresheet, I'll prefer him to Nunez in the next few games if he stays fit.

Just as expected, Bobby Portis was a lethal weapon for the Bucks last night, along with Damian Lillard, they were a great force and too hot to handle for the Orlando Magic.

I just can't seem to lose any NBA this week, and I hope to keep the streak on tonight, I understand the Boston Celtics might rest a couple of their star players, however with how deep I think their roster is, I'm quite sure they should still be able to hold of the Knicks, and Pelicans against Sacramento Kings is another match up I'm interested in, I'll be going with Pelicans here too, they've won all the season series against Sacramento Kings including the In-season tournament to make it a 4-0 record for this season.

My picks;

Boston Celtics ML + New Orleans Pelicans ML @ 3.5 Odds

Damn! Thanks for the information mate, I didn't even check the game or scores on flashscore, I was busy watching the tennis game between Holger Rune and Dimitrov.

Finally, I got a win the threat made to my team manager must have done the trick, good game man @Chi20...

Now, who's up next

I expected the basketball game to be a blowout honestly, so going for the more than 9 points win was an easy pick for me.

The most important event for me was Medvedev losing to Karen Khachanov, that's got me even for that H2H question because my opponent was able to take advantage of the Alcaraz withdrawal, and I couldn't, but should the basketball game end with 10 or more points, then the round is definitely a win for me. I'm currently 2-0, I really could use this win after 2 consecutive losses.

Maybe I should have gone with too instead of Bayern Munich, I should have trusted my team more 

I guess we'll seeing even larger odds for the second leg for the away sides, like Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, maybe I can savage something off it, but I doubt I still stand any chance in the pot b as well.

This is my favorite match up for the day, the rest either have too high spread or just aren't worth the risk in my opinion. The Bucks will be without Giannis for the reminder of the regular season, and that's why I'll be backing them against Orlando Magic tonight, Doc Rivers will tryout multiple approach on how to cope without Giannis, and Khris Middleton has also been rule out for the game, so it's going to be a bi test for the Bucks.

I'm going with Milwaukee Bucks ML @ 2.11.

GL!

Damn! I checked, my opponent also took advantage of it. I really don't know what I was thinking but I didn't follow tennis yesterday at all and I submitted my picks since Monday and any of my picks wasn't at a risk of elimination before the deadline, that was why I didn't bother to check.

I'm glad to still have a point advantage anyways, I can only just hope Medvedev doesn't make the semi finals to restore parity on that question.

I haven't checked the spreadsheet yet, but I just put on my TV to catch Tennis from Monte Carlo just to discover that Carlos Alcaraz pulled out of the tournament due to an injury, was this before the deadline and does anyone knew before they submitted their answers or used VAR for it ?

Well, I didn't and neither was aware that Carlitos pulled out, so my opponent with the advantage already if they knew.

Freaking stupid Bayern Munich!!! They just really can't keep their shit together and nose clean, can they ? I went all in on this bunch of clowns and to be honest, after they had taken the 2-1 lead, I said, "Yeah, that was it!" to myself, little did I know they still got some shenanigans up their sleeves  \

I guess I'm done with both pools now 

It's true that experience does matter at this stage of the tournament, but I really don't see Bayern Munich squad any better than Arsenal's squad if we're to go down that experience path, there are just a very few players from the Bayern's squad that could be considered to be highly experienced for situation like this, and most of them cannot even secure their position/spot in the first team. So, their experience as far as this year's champions league is concerned is barely greater than zero, it's simply going to be a battle of will and who wants it more, not a battle of who is more experienced or have previously won it the most, it takes just one generation of a strong will individuals to break any life long record regardless of how high the bar has been raised or the standard that has been set prior.

You have no idea mate, I don't play football very often and the last time I did would have been some 3-4 years ago, but trust mate I'm the last person you want to take on when it comes to 1 v 1 scoring from a long range or having a car tyre tied to a goal post and hitting the target, I can vividly the last time that happened with a couple of friends, I wasn't allowed to participate again  

Let put it this way Darwin Nunez is an absolute shit, just a shit with huge potential, but how long will "just potentials" keep saving his ass ? Roberto Firminho before he left was still a better player than what Darwin is right (my personal opinion), so Nunez is duly deserving of any scape goat antics that comes his way, while speaking of the game against Man United, Mo Salah was an utter nuisance himself too, unnecessarily selfish when doesn't need to be, and was just as equally wasteful as Darwin, if not more.
