I read somewhere that Sarri has played down the incident, saying it is not no big deal and that it was just an honest misunderstanding.
Although, I think he  could just be trying to let the media stop spreading the news.

Inter were up 3 - 1 with 16 minutes left, I think they weren't disciplined enough, If not they could have gone ahead to win it. Now they have just two points ahead of AC Milan who happened to be in terrific form and could overthrow them from 3 position if they are not cautious enough.

I think you're missing things up, Maurizio Sarri is Chelsea's coach and he wasn't gonna be the one in the goal for the penalty, He planned on bringing in Willy Caballero the 2nd choice goalkeeper.
I've seen Caballero on penalty shootouts a number times before, He's really good at it, the fact that he'd played at Man City before would have giving him an added advantage of knowing the players ways of playing their spot kicks.

Sergio Ramos should be available, and would most like be paired with Varane at the centre back, he was supposed to miss just one match because it wasn't a straight red card, rather a second yellow carded offence, and as for Nacho I'm not sure if suspensions on La Liga are carried over to the Copa Del Rey and vice versa.

Congratulations on our win, with the Orlando Magic, It happened that Raptors indeed were up for a loss. It was great win for us, however.

On your parlay, too bad, you don't get to win the bet as New York Knicks won the game against Spurs 130 - 118, You'd have gotten your intended over 222, but lose out on the Spurs winning.

Looking forward to the next pick,
Congratulations to everyone who tailed!

Lol, I'd say it happens just to be a good day for me, I lost on Man City vs Chelsea match though, I had Man City to win in full time.
Congratulations to them for EFL trophy, and I really do hope they can go ahead to defend their premier league title as well. Kudos to Chelsea too, even though they never had a shot on goal, I'd say the executed their game plan well enough to contains Man City's threat, maybe all they could have needed was a shot on target and that probably could have won it for them.

Lol, Sorry for your loss mate!
I have anticipated this all along, I had bet on under 2.5 last night, I also took the draw after the half time break.

I'm tuned in for Man City vs Chelsea game , Your thoughts on the match ?

I don't think that's how a supposed bull run will come to an end, If it has begun at all.
The sudden decline from the $4,200 zone to $3,800 doesn't connote the end of bull run just the same way the sudden increase we recorded within a few days wasn't a guarantee of the bull market taking over. I think every move upward or downward are still too quick to use as an indication of the market state.

Just as I have predicted, It happened this Liverpool vs Man Utd match is destined to be a fixture very shy of goals, at Half time the score remains 0 - 0 at the Old Trafford, This match could eventually end goalless, I'd not be surprised though.

Arsenal meanwhile are 2 nil up against a relegation threatened Southampton at the Emirates staidum.

Indeed, I agree! Orlando Magic shouldn't underestimated, they've been playing well recently and could pull yet another stunner today like they did against the Bucks a few weeks ago, I'll definitely tail this! I also think Raptors are also due for a loss, and could happen anytime soon, tonight ? perhaps.

Goodluck to everyone tailing!

This has actually happened later than I had expected, He's managed to secure just one draw from their seven matches, and lost six matches, with three consecutive ones.

Perhaps, I was just paying to much attention to the odds, I guess.


Yeah right, I'd watch out attentively 


Damn! right, I guess "reasonable" risks would be worth taking henceforth, If continues to be the trending strategy, Sorry for your loss mate, better days lies just ahead!

I think we share the same opinion on this.


I'm also expecting this fixture to be quite a boredom, so I might skip it. but this could be a win or burst for Liverpool, their entire season is somewhat at stake here.

Barcelona would struggle without Messi, That's understandable because he's argueably the best player of all time, but it doesn't mean the team will not function without him, Barcelona played the first El Classico of this season without the service of Messi and, Do I have to remind you of the scoreline ? It was 5 - 1 win for Barcelona.

I won't back Atletico Madrid today despite their win against Juventus in the midweek, I think Villarreal will prove a very though opponent for Atletico Madrid and I'd predict a 1 - 1 draw. Madrid should win with relative ease, from my perspective but they'll be without their veteran centre back Sergio Ramos and there should be a 2 - 0 win, I predict.

I'm not so totally looking forward to this match, really.. I'm much more interested in the EFL Cup final match between Man City and Chelsea, I'm think we would see an entirely different game from what we witnessed about 2 weeks ago where Chelsea were humble by City with 6 goals to nil, I guess there will be a totally different approach to match from both Chelsea and Man City, However I still predict Man City to triumph.

Anyone following the trend of upset today ? Clearly so many match favorites lost their games today starting from the

New Orleans Pelicans with ~ 3.04 odds winning against the Lakers score: 128 - 115 = 13
Miami Heat defeated by Detroit Pistons ~ 2.46 Odds score: 96 -119 = -23
Chicago Bulls defeated Boston Celtics @ ~ 5.30 Odds score: 126 - 116 = 10
Okhlahoma City Thunder lost to Sacremento Kings @ ~ 3.04 Odds    score: 116 - 119 = - 3
Golden State Warriors lost to Houston Rockets @ 6.85 score: 112 - 118 = -6

What caught my attention was that I found a lot of odds for the favorites of today games to quite absurdly low, So, I did went in with the Rockets against GSW, after seeing how GSW struggled against the Kings in their last game where GSW won by a difference of 2 points. The line for this game as of when I wanted to place the bet was a,t I think, 16 or thereabout I'm not too sure but it was definitely greater than 13.5

I found Rockets +10 @ 1.78 to be a steal, so I went in pretty hard on that one, I also had the Rockets to win ML @ ~ 6.85 and here we are, indeed the Rockets just won the game with a 6 points difference 112 - 118.

Could there be an odd explanation to these teams losing with an average of 11 points, or It is all just coincidental ? I hope it's the latter, really.

AS Roma were able to win against Frosinone the score ended 2 - 3, AS Roma had to wait until the final minute of the given stoppage time before Edin Dzeko got to score then winning goal, after Frosinone had initially equalized to make it 1 - 1 in the 80th minute. The win is a very positive win for AS Roma, it keeps them 1 one point away from AC Milan who are currently 4th in the league.

Leicester City showed very poor performance and got humiliated in front of their fans with a horrible defeat to Crystal Palace 1 - 4, They conceded 3 goals with the last 20 minutes, despite dominating the possession of the ball.


I think I'll be going for under 2.5 or under 3.5, I'm not sure which I'd go for yet, But I'm definitely placing on an under option, I think the score line will be a maximum of 2 goals.

64th minute, Celta Vigo vs Alaves remains 0 - 0,  Alaves are still chasing the dreaming of playing in an european competition next season, while Celta Vigo are facing a huge relegation threat, currently just two points ahead at the 17th postion. Can either of them still pull a shocker here ?

Oh my!!! Messi was absolutely brilliant and he made my day, literally!!! I had several bets on Barcelona, and I won every single one of them only a few parlay left.

I think coming from such a hard situation twice today, will boost the teams confidence ahead of the showdown against madrid, and I hope they can pull off another great show to secure a place in the copa final. Meanwhile for now, it is cheers to 10 points lead at the top of the table.
