I can see Buwaytress betting on Liverpool, the 6.00 odds seems really interesting.

I dieded big time here, I fell for the odds. But we should have won, no?

Buwaytress always bets on Liverpool, and every season I tell him he's biased. But last season he was damn right.
As for Liverpool winning today, that's a big no. I don't think City being in the title race is the right way to healthy the league. Objectively, only City can intervene, so today I will be rooting for Arsenal to get an 8-point advantage.
By the way, I see other quotes:

1.58 - 4.10 - 5.40

5.40 is also not bad actually, but 1.58 looks like a multiple bet: + money + mood  

Should have done handicap or double chance. Easy doubler. I don't think Arsenal can figure out how to beat us, then again, we've stopped figuring out how to beat Arsenal.

You're right about Arsenal being the better choice than Citeh though, that's my camp too.

Happy with the draw vs Arsenal last night, I feared a real battering but we were possibly the better team, especially 2nd half. We would have won if we had Ekitike, Salah and Isak fit. Arsenal created very little really, I expected much more from them.

The double chance was a really good one in this scenario, but i dont know yours but i dont like that bet so much i always feel like im leaving behind some big margin in the odds taking that one.
Double chance was "only" 2.5 which is a good odd but not a odd that is gonna give us a super win, maybe in a multibet it can be good to sum up

Typical Arsenal performance against the big 6 - they're always the second best team against top teams but never loses. Don't worry Egypt are getting knocked out this round so you can have Salah back to the team.

This is why I think they'd be champions this season; picking up points even when they aren't playing well.

Injury update on Hincapié? @un_rank

I really cannot tell which teams make up the big 6 now, do you mind listing them? And also checking our record against them in the last 3 seasons.

It was an even game, both teams created little and tried to play it safe, a bit too safe, but I will take a point from this. Looking back I really feared how we will manage with the fixture pile up in Dec/January but we have picked up 19 points from a possible 24, not a bad return and we have extended our lead from 5 to 6 now.

Does not look good at the moment. We will have to wait for for results of scans.

A little unfortunate for Liverpool, a lot of strikers have to be absent that should be needed, with a draw more than enough... once all of them return to the squad Liverpool's game will definitely be normal again.

Egypt even won this time (2-1) it is likely that Salah will continue against Senegal and continue again to the final.
Maybe Salah will be ready by the end of the month.

Talking about this season not 3 seasons ago - aside Totteham who are useless I don't think you guys had it better against any other top side this season - you barely made it out with a point.

Well, I'm just gonna get Gabriel at a very high cost now. No other way around it.

Trying to give them some hope here  knew Egypt were going to tear Ivory apart.

Boom big upset in cup with Crystal Palace getting whooped. Just goes to show how big teams can fall to teams like Crystal Palace, but then those teams can't beat super small teams way way below them in leagues.

Can somebody just hand Arsenal the title already? Or do we still have to wait for them to beat Aston Villa?

It is more impressive that the club was technically founded just 5 years ago. The old club was liquidated in 2020. New owner purchased it some months later and this is how far they have grown from the to now, beating the FA Cup holders in the 3rd round.
Palace has been poor for some time now since missing out on the Europa league on technicalities, then failing to win small clubs in the conference league, now a very poor defense of their title and potentially losing their best defender this January.

^ Indeed. Palace are the spoilers of Prem League. Can't win anything except the odd cup. Taking points off title pretenders, but not much else.

Woke up to the result and was not too bothered by it. We won't win the title this season, so I'm more interested in stability for the next (the delayed rebuild we better get moving on!). I do wish we had better personnel as you point out, but I'm more concerned about our defence (wingbacks, centrebacks).

I could be completely wrong but I actually blame Arteta for Arsenal not doing better against bigger teams. Just have a feeling he plays all those games not to lose and it shows. It isn't the same if you are giving the speech to dressing room like "Come on guys, give it a bit more, we win this and we put one hand or the title" or what I think Arteta says on the half time talk "we were good guys but you allowed Liverpool some chances, now concentrate on defending 1 point is enough for us. It is important to not concede".

You could have seen fear in eyes of Arsenal players when Sobo got those 2 free kicks 

Don't get me wrong, I still think Arteta is great coach, and I believe he has what it takes to get the title this season. Arsenal plays best defense in Europe and they have best set pieces in the league for sure. It is just a bit strange not taking more risks against this Liverpool side.
