Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread

[buwaytress]

For the first time in ages, KDB, Rodri, Stone, and Halaand did not play 60% of their games, and with Pep dealing with a divorce, I'm not sure any club would have survived all of this- I can't remember the last time they lost a game, and they're building momentum heading into next season.  They still have a strong team.

Made me look this up. I'm usually unaware of personal relationships of players/managers -- except for own club if it's significant. Seems like Pep actually made up already, spending time with wife again, so yeah things looking up for him heh.

He's a nice guy too, just gifted Southampton points so they avoid sharing the lowest Premier League haul of points in a season. Haaland, KdB, all these guys. Hearts of the purest gold.

What a strange round we are seeing right now.

What we just see in the Southampton City game? What a joke, and i can imagine City fans fumming because now they are gonna have to work until the last match to secure the Champions League spot and in the Southampton fans i can feel something like "now we grab points? too late mate".

Everton winning on Fulham house also not expected.

I didn't make a prediction, I foretold the future. And you will join BSFL next season, won't you? And this pool too? So we don't always just see you posting but also participating?

Eemmmm, alright sure! It took me a little while since I had to check on the other discussion thread to know what this was all about. I understand everything else on that thread, but I have some questions to ask. I don't know if y'all entertain questions about the thread for first-timers?

If you want to dine with the cult, you gotta join one of the cult groups.  Nothing beat the pleasure of participating and joining discussion at the same time. Sandra see you next season..

Aye Botz, if this is some sort of a special invitation, then see you next season too! Haha, wait... In 82 days from the finals right?

Newcastle are crumbling at the moment. - we can beat them.

No you can't... Sorry. 
Chelsea's performance has been so poor, I don't even know how an improvement will be possible, but they sure will improve next season.

Congrats to morvillz7z for winning the Round 36 Yellow Cap

We absolutely do! It's likely the most active thread in this sub and a couple of players there are always on hand to answer. Drop a line there, tag any of us if you want specific users to answer. But if it's really difficult, just send the organisers Trofo and cryptofrka or tag them, they are 24/7 able to answer. At the very least, just ping your intention to join. We all love the new blood.

For this pool, keep an eye on this thread about a month before the new season, that's when they take new entries. I'd sign up for Superbru first anyway so even if you join the pool late you'll get your picks in.

If you're feeling up for it, there are F1, EFL, La Liga, Serie A pools too... cricket and other football tourneys crop up.

If they're back together, that's fine; I think they're doing it for the kids. I'm not sure why the woman suddenly liked him after kicking him out of his mansion and forcing him to stay at the City Hotel.  I did not follow up on the news, but it was a sick situation.  I felt bad for him.

Trent was booed by Liverpool fans, which I'm not sure is a good example for the younger players at the club. It's sad when someone from the academy leaves for free at their peak, but was it Trent's fault?

[darxiaomi]

What was this round?

Complete disaster full of red failed picks.

Manchester City draw against Southampton is the best resume for this crazy round, Nothingham Forest also dropping points against a relegated Leicester when they really need the 3 points.(Im not gonna talk about the greek owner entering the pitch hahaha).

It could be a good round for me but Emiliano Martinez prevent it.

I get why the boos happened. Slot gets it. I'm sure TAA did too. I never booed anyone, I always sort of understood or at least I usually remember the memories. Not even Coutinho. Owen I will always feel really doesn't deserve the sort of almost invisibility for his deeds. Was at the museum at Anfield and curiously didn't see more than a photo or two of him (still one of the craziest teenaged prodigies to ever play in my lifetime, and Ballon D'or winner!).

Not Trent's fault. He could have done it a bit different, but you have to blame his agent/manager/advisor for that. Lad's just a footballer who wants to football. He'll be fine. Everyone will get over it. But yes, not a good example, but hey, everyone's entitled to opinions, and boos always appear louder than cheers.

Complete disaster full of red failed picks.

Just realised I also missed out on the Sportsbet Jackpot (which I usually don't). Would have netted $20 I think if I recall the picks I made, thanks mainly to Liverpool, Spurs, City, Chelsea, Forest, all not winning. Tempted to go all draws this upcoming round of games -- doesn't seem to matter if teams have nothing to play for. Even Trofo's usual BTTS wouldn't have worked for half the games.

Is there way he could have done it? Not going in January and watching the club hand Salah and VVD extension was where he drawn the line - " if the club wanted me thy would have presented an improved contract offer" it was obvious from the outside that Liverpool didn't fight to keep Trent. Exactly the situation with Rudiger, wanted to stay, club got sanctioned, contract stalled, nobody was talking about contract, he left on a good note with the fans.

I like it more when academy players come home and get claps instead of boos. All of our Academy players were snakes, no one ever get claps though.

It was 100% devastation all across the league, i also missed the jackpot competition for a first time in a long one im not gonna reach anything at all in that particular one.

I was collecting good results there until this round comes and kills me.

I hope to recover in this last two rounds remaining.

About BTTS or over goals just imagine how much bets blown up the City game.

I didn't even get the chance to participate in this round as before I could drop my prediction, it was already match day but looking at the results, I don't think I would had gotten a different results from what others got. The results last week we just unexpected and one of the games that disappointed me was the Chelsea game. I don't understand what Jackson was thinking, like didn't he know we have VAR now. Getting a red card and match ban in this critical time that we need all our best players to get maximum points from.the upcoming fixtures is just stupid of him. Losing that game was a setback and now we get to face United next which the possibility of winning isn't guaranteed too.

Nicolas Jackson as a player is a russian roulette, you never know what he is gonna do, maybe you dont expect anything from him and he scores twice and when you said, yes this is the game for him and now the is gaining pace , and starts to fail clear chances and starts to do silly things.

Is super irregular and for that i think he cant be a top player.

Even worse, we don't have a decent backup and have to rely heavily on roulette players like Jackson in our attack. This is someone who needs 10 chances to convert one, and who lacks self-confidence.

I'm not sure about others, but Nkunku has disappointed me so much this season. I was counting on him to take advantage of Jackson's injury and lead the club in attack, but he's actually the worst player at the moment.

I was expecting much more from him also, Nkunku show a lot in his previous teams so i dont know why he underperform here, maybe that injury and the team being irregular destroy him for this season, if you ask me i save him for the next season.

Maresca starts bad recover somehow, but ending the season without showing a good team.

I'm not sure what Enzo Mascara says or does with the players at training, but the entire team has lost its touch; no player improvements; these guys were much better under Poch; now they all appear average

I feel that if Nkunku moves to another team with a better manager, we are going to regret it. The talent is already there; all he needs is a spark to ignite it.

[notblox1]

Only two more rounds left in Premier League and I need miracle to move up in leaderboard.
I cant believe how low odds bookies gave to Chelsea to win against Man United, and I know this is worse version of United just above relegation zone, but still.
Same for Aston Villa vs Tottenham, this looks like a trap from bookies.

[buwaytress]

Chelsea will smash United. Everything to play for, while United are clearly banking everything on Europa. Farcical teams, both of them but I need Chelsea to smash United and give them their worst finish in the Prem era. Amorim's going to quit, I think.

It would be very stupid of Amorim to not sacrifice this game for the Europa league final - field the home boys and prepare the main team for the final to avoid unnecessary injuries..

This match means a lot to us and nothing to them- if Amorim thinks he can smart his way out, we're gonna ask Caciedo to wreck everyone before their final.

Man United have been shit, but Chelsea since the turn of the year in the EPL have only been a few feet away from being equally as shitty, no match have been an easy one for Chelsea.. Anyways, the line up are out, Man United still have a semi solid lineup from what should have been expected, Amad, Bruno, Hojlund and Onana are all in the starting XI, while some other guys who have either not been available a lot this season but are also above average players on a good day like Shaw, Mount and Mazraoui also made the cut... The at least is better than what Tottenham have linedup for the match vs Aston Villa.

Lol That clown went all out; I guess he cares more about us losing our CL spot than the Europa League final.  Wasn't expecting him to risk Amad and Bruno in a non-important game like this.

Caciedo - You have one job tonight
