That's great. This would make Schalke 04 have him even more. 

It's just my thought - Eredivisie and Bundesliga levels are different. And 37 year old is moving to a better league so it sounds like Schalke are playing a bit of gamble to me. There have been many players who have struggled adjusting into better leagues plus Bundesliga is not similar as it was when he was at Schalke. Lot of things have changed.

Although I think it still will be a good deal considering he wouldn't cost much considering his age and contract he has left but still even if they do sign him it would be better if they find another attacking option in this transfer window to play  alongside Huntelaar.

Well the first goal scored minute that I had in mind were taken and hence I thought of predicting something different. Arsenal recently were in form but I had the feeling the Hodgson will be aware of Arteta tactics. It was though in for Crystal Palace on this one and they also played it quite well. Some chances also hit the cross bar but eventually it all was all tied down with no goals scored.

Gives of different feeling for trying out bold prediction and nailing it in the end.  

Crystal Palace are playing out quite well and it is same for Arsenal. Though I expected better football from favourites. Crystal Palace are doing well and they are giving troubles to left back and right back by making runs and delivering some good crosses to make some chances. Overall I would say even though Arsenal are keeping the possession , Crystal Palace are playing slightly better football in my opinion right now.

I think I saw same news somewhere in forum. Schalke 04 needed some good players in their squad. They are struggling right now both defensively and attacking wise but seems like these transfers would probably plug some holes for the moment. I still feel that they don't need someone old like Huntelaar. Doesn't feels like a good solution, though would work out for a while but feels like it would be same afterwards.

I haven't tried this but given how both teams are here goes my predictions for tonight's match

Minute of first goal: (No goals scored)
Final score: 0-0

Don't see much of Serie A but know a bit that Roma have been playing well so recently. Their midfielders is linking up well and I expect them to win this one. This match is crucial for both the teams in Serie A race but feels like Roma would be the one getting points out from this derby.

I however am looking forward to Liverpool vs United match. Liverpool could spoil things for United in this match as they are aiming to drag down United and clear the 3 points gap.

For now things are working out well for Arsenal. They are making some good plays from right hand side and have been doing this for quite some games. I think Crystal Palace would be ready for this. Would be certainly a tricky match for sure. It could go any way I mean even Crystal Palace win. Things haven't been working out for Crystal Palace but I think they are a team that can certainly defeat some big teams.

I might go for U/O goals market in this one again.

Yeah I was thinking of dropping a suggestion about creating some event funded by us but guess your point is also right. It is fine going on like this: I mean participating like in a normal way and in middle bit of special prizes just like sportsbet sponsored few weeks ago.


Quite some tricky matches I must say. Will drop my picks tomorrow.

Penalty are good chances but if we see an overview of the match then there were many chances created but only attempt from Foden landed into back of the net. I actually had under 2.5 goals in that match but honestly there should have been more goals from City. Anyway still it landed 3 points in their pocket and they move up on the table.

Now they are 3rd on the table and still one match behind then the teams above them on the table. Good for Guardiola after starting it slowly they still managed to climb up the table. Next match is up against Crystal Palace.

City are clear favourites but Brighton are also not playing that bad actually. It will be same possession game. Still feel risky trying to bite City in this one. Maybe would go for Over/Under goals market since City games nowadays don't have much goals. Brighton has decent defense and so I think they can handle them with a low margin.

United started slow but got the winning momentum afterwards. Good for them, their defense is also starting to look good.

Honestly, I didn't had much guts to put so much selections in my betslip before MM but after participating in MM for a year I guess or maybe a little more, I am loving it. It feels like yeah I might have chance to hit it someday.


That's a great idea. I am fine with any prize though but having some Arsenal shirts or Southampton shirts or maybe Watford would be lovely.

West Ham are thinking of ending the loan of Felipe Anderson and recall him back since he isn't getting much playing time. That's quite a waste- good thing that West Ham are thinking something about the situation. Who knows maybe they can use the player themselves.

Inter's match against Roma was a tough one. Inter Milan don't have good defense and I was pretty much sure when Inter had lead that they will concede a goal in last. It has always been this way- poor defense and their ideology of attacking is the best defense you can say. Surely not working for them and that have widen the gap between them and the table topper AC Milan.

About Juventus, yes they are struggling but I expect a good form from here on. BTW they stand with 30 points and they yet have played 15 matches only while most of the Serie A teams have played have played 17. They still have the match in this round today against Sassuolo and they have the Napoli match as well which was earlier called off and the new date of their fixture is yet to come I guess.

You know what? Only one player is getting into mind of Arsenal fans- Emile Smith Row.. I mean 20 years of age, perfect central midfielder making some great chances and have adjusted perfectly in given opportunities. Love this amazing play Arsenal are making up lately. What a hidden gem we have got... I have been watching those goal replays over and over again. So much quality- I mean bit late but Arsenal still got time..

They could, he is a legend of the club and the manager and club will obviously would like to extend his contract as soon as possible before some clubs reach out to him and both parties come to an agreement. It is also upto player whether he wants to stay with the club or wants to find playing time in some different league. He is playing with great club currently and city has everything so don't think of any reason but who knows at last it comes to player.

City squad have not many players available after some of them were found infected with covid. So Guardiola had to roll out with limited options. I also expect Guardiola to roll out fresh from bench after half-time. I think City will try hard to get a good lead in first half only.


Yeah miss PL even it is one week only. Can't watch this FA Cup, not that thrill present as in PL. Have to kill it somehow watching LaLiga and other leagues.

Icardi and Moise Kean are the two players who are actual strikers but Icardi has been out due to injury and haven't played in a while but Kean is a young player and has been brought on loan from Everton, he so far is playing well and have heard some rumours to make his move permanent when loan deal expires. Not sure if he has impressed Pochettino but he sure did impressed his previous manager Tuchel.

Aguero could be a good move for PSG as well. Feels like either would be Aguero or Moise Kean.

Bayern haven't been playing their best football lately. Their either concede first and then recover but yesterday they got the lead and threw away the two goal lead so easily. Seems like they are onto a new pattern. 

This gives the chance to Leipzig to get tthe first position with 1 point lead if they win against Dortmund.

That's good. Diego Costa left Atletico Madrid just couple of weeks before transfer window opened and is free agent right now. Mandzukic is also another player who is free agent. Not sure if Juventus will go for Mandzukic again but he is really great and watching him idle makes me a bit sad.

They will try for Pogba only if they will terminate the contract of Khedira and they can exchange Bernardeschi an maybe one more.

Pogba has denied rumours of him being unsettled at Manchester United. Not sure what's going around with him and Ole. As for Khedira, Ancelotti is quite interested in bringing him to Everton. They need someone good and bit of a leader with experience in midfield maybe (what I think).

Oww. So that makes our Multimaster with 14 matches this week. Hardly dents the slip odds and I think most of the the participants would have gone for Southampton win ....

Seems like situation is getting worse again in UK. I hope don't get to see the PL postpone announcement again and people recover soon and abide by the rule regulations set in place. Also good stand from EFL to announce the weekly coronavirus testing of staffs and players.



Yeah that is quite some flaw. But I guess that such market also wouldn't have cashout option available.
