Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[tomahawk9]

Anyone cares about the 2nd leg of Championship playoffs? they start today with Swansea going to Griffin Park, home of The Bees. I like Brentford so i'll back them today in a single bet, hopefully, it'll be one of those magical nights (:


C'mon, we want a london derby in the final!

PL season is finished, and here is one very interesting bet.
Lingard scored his first and only one goal on the season in the 97th minute during the last match. He crashed this nice bet in the last minute of the season.

 Ohhhhh thats a horrible situation 97th minute of the very last game Otherwise returns 1 dollar to 67 dollar, thats like amazing return if you could hit that. However at the start of the season he wasn't expected to be like this right? I would have assumed at least one something from him.

 Lets see how United transfers this off-season, not like we are going to have much of it, with teams doing transfers and pre-season friendlies and all that and some of them playing at champions leauge, we are talking about non-stop football for the next year as well. But if they could do something nice, we are talking about potentially the next rising power of premier league as well, they are so young to be this good and they already finished very well, I feel like if they could find some good gems along the lines this season they could potentially rival Liverpool.

 City versus Liverpool versus United could be so good, Liverpool can't continue like this forever, eventually they will not be this good and will be figured out, that means they will be losing and not be champions, City is the same, they are talented and all but talent can't last forever and they will get worse too, meanwhile United is just starting, so when that team hits its peak, other teams will be going down and thats why I see a United championship in the next 3-4 years for sure.

Bournemouth is considering legal action, since they are relegated, and hawk eye technology for goal check admit their mistake on the match between Sheffield and Villa, which could make them stay in the league, what do you think about it?

To be honest, he made a good job and made Leicester fight for the first/second places at some point and even running alone in the second place before the pause. After the pause it was chaos and the team is kind of switched. It is like reducing each player points in video games lol from 70-80 to 50 lol

Yup, I agree that every Leicester fan would have accepted this if it was offered at the beginning of the season. However, Rodgers definitely has to take some blame for the last part of it.
Their dip in form was huge, they played bad and eventually lost the crucial home game in a direct battle for the CL.

He did a good job but I'm sure they expected to be in the CL based on their form in the first part of the season.

Rodgers has done his best at the match but it is true that he misplaced the strategy or something and looked bad at the Leicester match in the second half so that it was easier for Manchester United to attack and add more goals, even if they didn't enter CL next season there are still European leagues expected Leicester next season.
Maybe Rodgers will be more active in preparing his new strategy.

That is a hard thing to blame someone when they are to blame it as well. Normally you say that your team got a good place if you look at it from the start of the season perspective, like cryptofrka that if someone said to a Leicester fan at the start of the season they will finish here, they will be happy, but at the same time you do get angry when your team could have finished third very easily if they were a bit more careful as well, after the season started you saw the potential and what it could be and you saw it drop as well.

So, there is some blame that it went down, but there is some kudos to him for finishing this high at the same time, I wouldn't know what to say in this case, because both ends of the stick doesn't really doesn't deserve anything right now.

There is nothing positive coming for them as now they are already out of Premier League so they need to check their own mistakes and try to settle them hopefully soon they will able to join Premier League again in near future they are not alone many other teams also face some serious troubles but this is new so need some time to do good.

Definitely the court ruling wouldn't favor them any game has a rule and a mistake was made by the goal line technology the damage had already been done why did they perform woefully in their previous matches? and now capitalizing on a mistake to escape relegation? their action is unjustifiable, they should move on and prepare for championship league next season and they should try and keep their experienced players so as to get promoted back to EPL.

I'd say replace Pogba with someone better at that position  . Yep this is just my preference on how the squad would be but atleast in my POV, he is not really the type of player that gives their 120% on the field and I kinda dislike it

I agree with you and I have been saying the same for a long time now. He never should've been re-bought. Guys like us who are with Man Utd for a long time, are used to more energetic midfielders that play with heart. If you look at midfielders that were integral in the past, all of them were angry and determined.

Man Utd lacks that the most at the moment in the midfield. They need players like that.

Pogba is overrated anyway and what is most important is that he simply does not fit Manchester. His play style and mentality both and he is simply not mature enough yet.

Of course this is just my preference and my own point of view though and so far he is doing decent but for a player of his calibre, decent is definitely not enough. Plus he is being paid alot so he better start with giving 120% for every match that they played. Dont take my words for granted though, I might be biased to him the moment that he caused penalty for  Manchester United in the game against West Ham

A desperate and useless move imo. You failed to avoid relegation zone during 38 matches and trying to blame others for that... Then every team will consider legal action for hundreds of mistakes happening during the season...doesn't make sense..

Agreed, it was a shitty decision & I bet you Hawk Eye (the goal like tech company) will have it covered in their T&C that the final decisions always are with the match official. Accept your fate B’mouth, you have not been good enough.

[cryptofrka]

It was a bad call but legal action will not bring anything good to Bournemouth. It is a completely pointless thing to do and it will only cost them money and time.

I'd rather they remained in the league than Aston Villa, but eventually the ones that got relegated are the ones that deserved it most.
They were good at times and will probably be able to keep most of their team so they might be back soon enough.

This action will not definitely be heard as its a waste of time. Every clubs were prepared to complete 38 games, but it's all there fault. If Bournemouth succeed in this then every relegated club would possibly do the same thing as this would bring chaos in the English premier league. Its not a good step to take, accept defeat and move on, they have good players as well that can play better at championship division.

''Brentford overturned a first-leg deficit to beat Swansea City 3-2 on aggregate and book their spot in the Championship play-off final at Wembley.''

Brentford seem to have recovered relatively quickly from the shocking end of the Championship and have now come one step closer to promotion to a higher ranking competition.
Honestly, I'm glad for them and I wish them success.
They already had everything in their hands and a lot of misfortune.

Exactly. The fact that it didn't happen in the final game makes any protest even more irrelevant. Villa were clearly playing for a draw in the final game, because a draw was all they needed at the time. If that extra point that Bournemouth are complaining about had come into play, then Villa would have needed a win - and so would have played for a win.

Bournemouth were unlucky, but they can't suggest that a different decision means they wouldn't have been relegated. Mistakes happen in football, whether its refereeing or VAR. Luck is a factor. The idea is that mistakes and luck should average out over time. Complaining about it now makes it look like sour grapes, and casts Bournemouth in a bad light.

Fulham and Cardiff are playing today for a play-off final spot, with Fulham in much better position, 2:0 from the first match, and Cardiff will have to provide much more effort to even come to position that can challenge Fulham spot in the final

i will put my money on o3.5, think that Cardiff will play offensively tonight, that is their only chance

Well that still remains to be seen and since I didn't watch the match I can't say this for sure, but here is what I think.

Brentford had a great run towards the end of the season and then chocked in matches where it matter the most.

They won today and that will help their morale, but next match is the most important match and they could choke again easily while Fulham has that experience of promoting in there genes.

So let's wait and see, I would be happy for Brentford personally, but my bet is on Fulham.

[tomahawk9]

woah!

Remember when Newcastle fans were talking about signing Coutinho and a bunch of other high profile players? LOL  

C'mon, we want a london derby in the final!

The dream! i think it's happening!  

Fulham won comfortably in the 1st leg so Cardiff are forced to score today, so maybe they'll leave some open spaces in the back and The Cottagers will capitalize on that? Well, winning and a few goals it is then: https://i.ibb.co/PF4MbqZ/vfdd.png

That's a pretty good news. Mr chainsaw apparently get pissed seeing his wanna be team losing barely all its matches after the pause so he decided to cut them the deal and withdraw from this mess. Good!

Not sure about your choice with odds around 3.xx by betting o3.5, Cardiff is not very good against Fulham and also, H2H of their matches clearly Fulham is very dominating and although Cardiff is able to play offensively but I think it is difficult to make more goals in this match.

Look like its a good decsion by @casperBGD  becasue I was also expecting few goals in this match as Fulham is already in good lead and Cardiff will try their best for place in final so few goals can came after end of first half we have 1 - 1 hopefully in second half surely we will have some more goals from both teams.

Edit: Cardiff is now in lead 1 - 2 so one more goal from Cardiff and Fulham in deep trouble.

yeah, they had a whole second half, but missed to score fourth goal, both sides, and Fulham is in the play-off final, will be interesting to see how Brentford will take this match, but Fulham is a bit closer to Premier league at the moment, IMO
