Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

^  Yup...  Search 'Arsenal Invincibles'.  Wenger was the sh*t back in the day domestically but nothing after that.  I guess they kept on waiting and waiting and took too long before they realized that he has to go.

I have a feeling Kane will score more than 2 goals today. Now trying to find the bookie which will give me nice odds for that. Anybody knows if there is such offering in BTC accepting bookies?

for now he still scored just one goal that made him 4 goals away then Salah, the Egyptien king still have two games and he was lucky not to get punished by the FA for Elbowing stoke city defender Martins Indi he still have two matches one against Chelsea away and the other at home against Brighton so his chances to be at top of league scorers are strong but for the golden Shoe not so much as Leo Messi have beated him by scoring 32 goals and he still have more games for him in the league. And for Kane he still have strong chance to catch up as he still have somewhat easier matches and we can see him get more goals scored because his next game will be aginst West brom who is at the bottom and have not much to lose so they will play offensive football could that lead to Kane do what his best that is scoring goals and the other two will be at home against Newcastle and Leicester.

Did you guys see what parting gift Sir Alex Ferguson and Mourinho gave to Arsene Wenger? I think it was some kind of a mini trophy but I am not sure if it was for the Premier League or for the UEFA Europe League haha  

Lol. It was a show of appreciation to him for his services to the EPL. In their prime Wenger gave both Mouirnho and Ferguson a good healthy rivalry which kept all of them going and the EPL Fiery, for Ferguson especially. It was the days that made the EPL a very awesome league to watch, before a lot of money came to spoil the game (Mourinho + Abramovic starting that... )

Thanks for finding a close-up photo of the trophy gift. I was wondering what it really looked like. And I gotta say it was a very nice gesture of them giving this to Wenger. Let's see if any other clubs will follow United and give more presents to Wenger in the last games.

No probs man. I doubt that any other clubs will do same. As much as United and Arsenal hated each other, they still loved the rivalry it created. Arsenal don't have any other team with such a long history of hate relationship apart from Spurs. However, Spurs weren't challenging them for titles year in year out, so their rivalry could be seen as only trivial. I do suspect that the FA and Premier League would probably do same, but individual clubs I doubt. Maybe in other European clubs.

The award given by Manchester United to Wenger for his dedication to football is a gift that Wenger might never forget. Football teaches us all that football is a unifying ingredient of mankind.

Wenger didn't actually accomplished anything outside of England so I doubt other clubs will do something like Man Utd and Ferguson, maybe a tweet to say a farewell to an EPL legend.

I think winning the Europa League will be the gift he'll never forget 

[tokeweed]

^  Yup...  Wenger will care for winning the Europa League the most...  The competition that no big club cares about. 

Anyway, am I seeing this right?  Everton at home at 2.11.  It's vs Southampton who are fighting for their lives to escape relegation.  I think the Big Sam has a better chance of winning than the 2.11 line offered imho.

This is Last season's heartbreak for Arsene Wenger at Arsenal, not giving any trophy this season and not passing Arsenal to Champions League next season, it is certain because Arsenal lost in semifinal europa league last night which means the only ticket to enter the Champions League next season already lost. Arsenal also has certainly not entered the big 4 Premier League this season.

Poor Arsene not getting the hardware for all Arsenal fans and a punch to the gut in not being able to get them to the Champions league competition next year is a heartbreaker.
They only have three games left of the EPL season to go. So hoping they can get in those last games a win for the old man.

That win would only be symbolic as Arsenal doesn't play for anything anymore in the premier league. And in fact they even risk to lose the place to directly qualify for the Europa League next year as Burnley is only three points behind them. They are the losers of premier league always in the sense that they usually never win the league but ends up in the top 5.

After playing at UCL, Liverpool will next face Chelsea on next matchday in the Premier League. They both carry the victory in this match to continue securing their respective positions at UCL next season.

[Lionidas]

The lone game today was Brighton Hove and Albion against Manchester United to make sure they keep in the Premier league next season.
And Brighton did something they haven't done since 36 years ago, win against Manchester United.
They surprised everybody including their fans when they scored the only goal in the game.
It had to go to the goal decision system because Rojas had to kick it out of the air to defend and they didn't know if it went past the line.
But the referee after checking his watch saw the system alerted it did cross the line.
Pretty exciting to see the system did work at such a trivial time for all those fans at the Amex center and in disbelief to United.
Good ol' Wenger didn't seem to like it when it debuted some 5 odd years ago.

But if it wasn't there, then the goal wouldn't of counted.
When you watch the replay it wasn't just a touch in but the entire ball was clearly pass the goal line.

Manchester United oh god do they ever disappoint lol, as soon I saw the line up I could sense defeat coming and their way of playing is as bad it gets. Mourinho obsession with defensive tactics, felliani, young is irritating now. Baily, Lindelof and Shaw should start, can't wait for him to leave Manchester United he's got a rich attacking talent and uses them to play defence, I hope he leaves soon now.

actually Chelsea have to win from the rest of matches this season to secure 4th positions but this will not guarantee if Chelsea won 3 time streak by the rest of matches they will get 4th positions at the end of league especially if Liverpool and Tottenham have good results for upcoming matches then clearly Chelsea will play at european competitions next season

If anybody is wondering I’m not posting much in the gambling/sports section of the forum atm, I’m too nervous about the CL Final & don’t want to jinx it by starting to make predictions etc. I’m still here watching most days though.

I will find out if I have 2 tickets for Kiev next Wednesday or Thursday. I have my hotel booked already but it has free cancellation incase I can’t get the 2 tickets. I will have to pay around £1,500 each for tickets if the guy I know can get me them. It will be worth it though, I was quite young when we (Liverpool) won the CL in 2005 in Istanbul, I couldn’t afford to go but I told myself if we got to a final when I could afford to go I would have to be there so watch this space.

Fingers crossed, I went to the 1/4 final & semi final 1st legs at Anfield vs Man City & Roma so I’ll be really disappointed if I’m not able to go to Kiev. Liverpool & Real only have 16,000 tickets each for fans, all the rest are going to UEFA partners & corporate people.

I’m far from guaranteed to be there but I hope so.

Kane and Salah can always be counted on to score. Kane especially has been consistently high every season, it just so happens that Salah has had an exceptional time in his debut.

They say that teams and defenders eventually wisen up to new strikers like Salah - Stoke showed that if you stick to harrying and getting physical, you can sometimes shut off players like that. But it doesn't always work of course, and Salah has overcome such team tactics.

Kane will probably score 2 or 3 more goals, hard to score 5 to beat Salah. But the Egyptian also probably has a couple more over the next games.

I totally get that. I'm also watching and reading a lot. It is of course nice to see some of the hyperbolic articles coming out about the Reds, and I think it's a great compliment to see ex MU and Arsenal greats (as pundits) say that Liverpool thoroughly owned the competition but I always prefer to have the team talked down since the underdog mentality really suits them well against more illustrious opponents.

Istanbul is still my absolute brightest and happiest memory of my adult life (I was 25), and I'm so looking forward to the match that even writing this post is something I feel I shouldn't do. Really hoping you make it to Kiev... the only time I bought tickets was for the Villareal Europa leg at Anfield and that cost me basically everything I couldn't afford to spend.

I totally agree with you. The attacking potential of Manchester United is very forceful but used very under-par because of Mourinho's defensive mindset. He has to choose a tactics that plays to the strength of the players. Same thing with LvG; had Di Maria, RvP, Falcao, Rooney, but yet thought possession football would be best. These days its had to directly buy and replace a new team at once, so Mourihno will not immediately get all defensive players, and besideds the philosophy of Man Utd is attack not defense.
