Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

Btw...  Lukaku's not starting vs former club Everton.  It's Martial --- Rash --- Mata up front in a 4 3 3, with Fred --- Matic --- Pogba in midfield.

Should be good.  

Man Utd 1-0 up, I had 2-0 in our CloudBet pool prediction league. Difficult match this is for me, I hate both Utd & Everton but at least if United win 2-0 I get some nice points in the pool

Manchester United matches suddenly seem to have a thrilling finish, I was literally screaming when pogba gave the ball away for penalty, and that awful miss by Martial in dying moments, didn't wish to see another draw like the one we had at Chelsea. I feel suddenly Martial is Mourinho trump card, and he's ready to surrender Lukaku and Sanchez. I'm a happy Manchester United fan today, and what makes me more happy is we displayed attacking football, there were some errors but a victory is a victory.

@Lfc_Bitcoin I think you lost your bet hard luck mate! by the way Liverpool playing some top class football too so how was yesterday's game?

It was lucky I did not place any bets on the match between Crystal Palace vs Arsenal, I would have lose my money for placing my bets on Arsenal to win the match in full time, I guess the gamblers who have placed their bets on Arsenal to win must have hated that referee so much as he have awarded 2 penalties to Crystal Palace in this match.

It was frustrating for long periods buddy. Cardiff played with a back 5 & 4 just in front of them for pretty much the entire game. 1 man on the halfway line, they are a crap football team. Those kind of teams always play like that vs City & Liverpool. There’s no space to create attacks & they strangle the life out of the game.

Suppose they have to do what suits them.

Happy with the win though obviously



REAL TALK ^^

Well I got the 2 bets I put on in today's matches. The Man Utd match was getting close to not scoring that third goal but lucky Everton got that penalty in the 77th minute. The Crystal Palace/Arsenal game didn't look like scoring over 2.5 goals but thanks to a entertaining second half with 3 goals being scored help get my bet over 2.5 goals. Chelsea was a surprise to me winning 4-0 as Burnley normally play well at home and teams travelling find it tough to score by Chelsea did it with ease today.

Take a walk around my DIJK gentlemen, it’s a colossus!

People believe that Manchester City is going to win today, but I have the feeling that Tottenham will get a point. The home advantage can make all difference.

Leicester City FC's owner died in a helicopter crash. 

Him, Claudio Ranieri and Steve Walsh were the architects of LCFC's title winning year two years ago...  May his soul rest in peace.

I wonder what's gonna happen to LCFC after this.

Very sad news indeed, call me cynical but I can’t help myself thinking was this revenge for a bad business deal or something. I just think it’s very suspicious, that helicopter takes him away after every home game. There are several business associates of Abramovich who have died (one ‘fell’ from his apartment building, one committed ‘suicide’).

Is this something similar where somebody was after Leicester’s owner? With big money often comes danger.

Or how about the helicopter just malfunctioned and crashed? What's suspicious about it? Helicopter crashes aren't uncommon. If you want to kill someone there are easier ways than to somehow sabotage a helicopter and go undetected. There'll be a thorough investigation into what happened anyway to determine why it happened and what caused it. Why do people always dream up conspiracies for everything especially when the most logical explanation is often the reality of the situation?

It was lucky I did not place any bets on the match between Crystal Palace vs Arsenal, I would have lose my money for placing my bets on Arsenal to win the match in full time, I guess the gamblers who have placed their bets on Arsenal to win must have hated that referee so much as he have awarded 2 penalties to Crystal Palace in this match.

Had no bets on it but had 2-1 to Arsenal on the predictor so annoyed at that late Palace goal.

People believe that Manchester City is going to win today, but I have the feeling that Tottenham will get a point. The home advantage can make all difference.

I could see a draw but I'm still backing City today.

Man City vs Tottenham match will be interesting and we can lot of goals over 2.5 goal full time and over 1.5 goal in first half is a good bet, hope that in first half both team will make a goal.

[buwaytress]

Penalties decided matches yesterday, but Arsenal probably shouldn't complain about dropping 2 points to 2 penalties - they should have had someone sent off at least once for all those high tackles against Palace. And sometimes when referees never notice, they take to diving and over-flailing arms and all that. Not condoning it of course, sometimes I wish Mane wouldn't overreact too, or am I imagining he's more prone to falling now?

But Martial's dive? Tsk tsk. He was lucky, and so was Pogba.

Horrible crash and horrible news for Leicester. Can't imagine how it must feel for the club and players who know their owner so well. Think we should respect the situation and not add drama to grief.

Spurs to overturn City, come on Kane =p

f*** this evening couldn't come fast enough..... AND know my GF just told me she made massage reservations for this evening, was close of roundhousing the place   

pity i got to miss this game....

I believe the match between Tottenham and Manchester City will be exciting to watch, but the odds payout on Manchester City to win the match in full time is relatively low, even though Manchester City still did not lose any games in the English Premier League this season, Tottenham are still a strong team with high quality players in the team, it is not worth to take the risk to stake my money on Manchester City, I guess I will skip betting on this match and just enjoy the football action by both of these teams.

Well I was hoping for more goals being scored in the Tottenham/Man City match as I had a bet on over 2.5 goals. The match ended with Man City winning 1-0 which I'm happy about as I am a Man City fan but a little disappointed that there wasn't more goals scored as it did start well with Man City scoring in the 6th minute, I though here we go there will be 3+ goals scored easily but that wasn't the case. Anyway I'm glad Man City won the match to go top of the table again.

But I expected that at least Tottenham will try to make a goal but all odds went loss as even on early goal no extra goal was scored . man city is now no.1 team in table

[LFC_Bitcoin]

City just about sneaking past Spurs last night. I think we’re going to see City, Liverpool & Chelsea pull away from the 4th placed team (whoever that may be). Those 3 will probably all finish 7-10 points ahead of the rest pf the chasing pack. The others are visibly weaker than those 3.

[DeathAngel]

Man City winning again as usual
They weren’t as convincing as usual last night though against Spurs. Lamela missed a very good chance at the ejd which would have made the match 1-1. I guess all that matters though is 3 points for City.

^  It's not like the Spurs are an easy club to beat.  They have one of the best squads in the EPL imo...

Anyway something tells me that Mou will be back at Real next season and his first player acquisition will be...  *Drum roll* ...  Eden Hazard.  Hazard did say he wanted to work with Mou again.

One of the best first-11s for sure, but their bench is one of the worst in the Big 6 (I'm looking through Reds-tinted glasses, of course).

Not sure Real want Conte or Mou, both will be Premier League rejects... not that their credentials were ever in question. Still wonder how players get to reject some of their responsibilities when clearly many weren't playing at their best (yes I know, managers take the blame for not bringing out the best in players too, but really, professionals should play their best no matter the taskmaster).

Bad week for me, both betting and predicting. The results weren't all that surprising either, just my own wayward analysis...

[Supercrypt]

I do not think anyone playing against Manchester City is actually any fun. I mean I understand spurs are a great team and specially recently they have been doing great with last year as well and they are doing alright this season too but come on! This is Manchester City we are talking about, dudes have not lost a game yet in 10 games and Tottenham already lost 3.

If anything it would be more like a draw at best but I do not think that is even possible at this point of the season when Manchester is trying to break out of other teams and try to secure the cup early so they can rest a lot more later in the season. Players like to get ahead first so when its the last 5-6 games of the season they can take an early "break" by just either pretending to be injured or just simply stay on the bench and relax instead of working hard.

There were two names Real wanted before Lopetuegi.  Poch and Conte.  Obv Poch wasn't available and Conte was demanding too much.  So Perez had to settle for their third option which obv sucked for them.

Depending on Poch's situation at Tottenham, he's still Real's first choice, but Mou wouldn't be a bad second choice imo.  His credentials still speak for itself.  And he's prolly ready to leave United anyway.
