Ehh, guys, what the hell is up with Southampton?    Not too long ago they were sitting at the bottom of the league table, now they're playing like Cruyff's Netherlands in the 70's!??  They beat Chelsea, they beat Spurs, and now Leicester. Impressive. And Danny 'the goalscoring machine' Ings, what a beast!

I didn't watch the game but, looking at the stats, that win wasn't a fluke, looks to me like the Saints absolutely trashed the Foxes! I wonder what were the odds for such a win? 5/1? 7/1?

However, I prefer Pam as short.

Got it!

My FJM is dead now.



As I was expecting hilariousetc is having a massive round with 12.5 points so far. Following him hahay, DeathAngel, LTU_btc are also having massive round. I got only 5.5 points on the other hand. Not doing well from last couple rounds. I am really disappointed with the result of Leicester and Wolves. Leicester losing the match lost me a 6 fold too which could have a win for me if I would not have them in my slip. Very surprising win for Southampton.

Did you guys notice that top three has one points gap with each others?



And LFC_Bitcoin with hilariousetc and other two are big threat too for the topper, specially LFC_Bitcoin.

Big congrats to Liverpool once again. They are really unstoppable this season. There was some signs of fatigue in after 60 minutes today but even then Liverpool had luck on their side or maybe to put it better Spurs players didn't have the concentration to to score the goal. There were few good chances for them towards the end of the match but Lo Celso managed to miss unmissable and Son should have finished much better.

Don't know if you guys seen it but there was another add by the side of the pitch for Bitcoin exchange. I forgot the name but it doesn't matter, BTC has started next phase of global adoption trough sports, namely Premier League.

We were a bit lucky to get a win today, but that first 60 minutes were amazing. Tottenham could not get a touch of the ball and they are last year's CL finalists and a really good pressing team.

20 wins out of 21 games and combined with last season it's more than 30 games with only 1 draw and all other wins. Truly remarkable, unrealistic.

<snip>

Edit:  Two down.

BitSat19 got 2/2 so far!
I have only 1/2. Aubameyang off course.
tomahawk9 got 1/2 too.


Anyway, it seems last night I was right that the match will end up with 1 -0 goal for any side. McBurnie was lucky to get that ball because of Fabianski's mistake. Or we would even see a 0 - 0 draw. I did not watch last 25/30 minutes but was following the scores and when I saw a score for West Ham in the last minutes, I was like damn(!) I am going to not having any point again in the pool but not sure for what reason the goal was cancelled; I was like well good for me LOL.

Pamoldar you have to share the reasons one day for this BitcoinGirlClub thing. You're not catfishing anyone are you?

Lol. He explained here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4479837.msg53559575#msg53559575

Ah buwaytress! you really need to give more time to the community 😉

Anyway, 2- 1 on Arsenal for me please.

After very good start now down and out as S Mane and R.Jimenez fail to give positive result I think most of members already out even still one match have to go.

[hilariousetc]

Two games down and two exact scores for me.

What more you could expect. Few weeks ago tomahawk9 had the same and I think they ended up being the round leader on that round. You have pretty good chance to be the one in this round if your rest of the picks speaks for you.

Another two correct scores along with a couple of correct outcomes has me leading this weeks round with 15 points. If I get the scores of the last two games of this round correct that will take me to the top of the yellow cap leader board, but I doubt I'll get them both. Gone for a risky score on the Bournemouth / Watford game.

Anyway, Chelsea seems very comfortable. Can Leicester get a win from here?

Leicester fucked my accumulator. Nobody backed the Southampton win or even the draw.

Big congrats to Liverpool once again. They are really unstoppable this season. There was some signs of fatigue in after 60 minutes today but even then Liverpool had luck on their side or maybe to put it better Spurs players didn't have the concentration to to score the goal.

Yeah, I said it would be close. If Kane would have played I'd have probably gone for a 1-1. Luckily enough I was the only person to go for the 0-1.

Anyone backing City to lose or draw tomorrow?  Villa are fighting to stay out of the relegation zone which they could be in tomorrow depending on the result of the Bournemouth / Watford match.

BTW, Pamoldar isn't the only player in our pool who had changed his username. micgoossens now is El duderino_.

I haven't noticed it today, but I remember seeing add of one decentralized exchange during La Liga game, but I can't remember their name. I think it's only matter of time when we will see more crypto services (mainly gambling websites) advertising on sports events, following Sportsbet.io path.

Villa is very inconsistent teams, but personally, I don't see them making upset against City.
I think about backing Watford tomorrow, they have improved their results recently, while Bournemouth is awful without any good signs.

Yup.  Hasenhuttl is a decent manager and did a great job on getting Ings back in form.  Klopp should've given him more time after his injury imho.

Anyway...  Looks like I'm one of the wooden spoon candidates this week.  Lolol.

[buwaytress]

I'm the idiot backing Villa. They did overperform in League Cup, or was that Leicester underperforming? The only reason I think they have a chance is of all their injuries, they actually still got Grealish, and they could bring up a couple of youngsters to fill in... so new formation, pace, that City might not be prepared for. Of course, I know it's an idiot bet, but then so was Norwich vs City;)

They better win too, my position's slipped to 19th!

P.S. Didn't dare say it before but we've finally broken City's record for best start ever. Best in Europe's top 5 too. It'll need someone to win the first 21 games of a season to top Liverpool!

PPS Look at Watford go, phwoar!

[examplens]

It seems it not possible for me to pick the exact score. Picked 0:2 but Watford scores 3rd goal in 92'. I am on top of the table with close points 

Anyway...  Looks like I'm one of the wooden spoon candidates this week.  Lolol.

Glad to know that you accept my advice 

..
You, tokeweed and famLFC need more wooden spoon to earn. Other players must have a chance

I think now you are safe and above of danger zone now Brainboss and Stephencurry333 in strong position for this wooden spoon.

[buwaytress]

toke don't really agree about Ings. I always thought he was a fantastic player for us, but he probably thrives a lot more in a more traditional 4-4-2 system. Very British striker (and that's a compliment) but even Sturridge had to adapt to positive press and couldn't... (though I think Klopp was perhaps a wee bit unforgiving to players unwilling to play through pain in Daniel's case). Hassen also likes press but knows he can't rush Southampton into a full-fledged Liverpool template yet). But they're all friends and I've really liked the way Klopp manages players. Probably apart from Sakho (and that's only because I'm not sure), I don't know anyone who's left Liverpool without a smile.

But ah yes, Villa. I was an idiot.

[hilariousetc]

4 correct scores this week which is one of my best results in a while and I just managed to keep the yellow cap with hayhay one point behind me.

I'm the idiot backing Villa.

To be honest, I didn't expect them to get beaten so badly. I originally had them down at 0-1 but then changed it to 2. I thought it would be a lot closer. Villa are now in the relegation zone and Watford's win took them out of it. I didn't expect them to win so easily either but seems like I was in the minority as most went for the away win. The Watford/Spurs game next week should be interesting. Could be close so I'll probably go for the draw. Not optimistic about next's weeks games though as there's many that I can't split and have provisionally gone for mostly draws but I'll probably change many after a bit of research. I'm sure some will come in but can't afford to back them all as draws and did pretty badly last time I did that.

Ehh, guys, what the hell is up with Southampton? 

It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Watford are doing well now too after a really bad start to the season.
The fight to stay in the PL is certainly more competitive than the fight for the title this season.

[cryptofrka]

I was surprised to see that over 80% people backed Liverpool against Spurs away.

That probably means that Liverpool will have 80%+ backing on all remaining games this season.

As I said before, if Kane was playing I probably would have gone for the 1-1 draw, but without him I got that score right. I don't think Liverpool are invincible and I think some draws are likely, but otherwise I think the majority of people will back them to win. They don't seem to have many difficult fixtures ahead either. They've got Man United next week away but these days Man United aren't much to worry about. The Champion's League is coming up next month as well though so they might start to save some players and that could be risky but maybe a risk they could take with such a points buffer and with a game in hand as well. Klopp might be going for records broken though and to become the new invincibles so who knows what will happen.

[DeathAngel]

Probably higher than 80% in a lot of home games. They just don’t drop points at Anfield. They have some tough games remaining like Man City away, it will be less than 80% in that game.

[tokeweed]

^  And Pep and squad prolly mad.  See what they did to Aston Villa?  They're pulling out all the stops and run everybody over.  Lolol.

Yea, I'd expect even 100% at home vs most of the teams. But 83% against a top4 team away from home is a really big percentage. In a social betting environment, I'd always want to see something like that and play against it.

Really tough call on the next round of pics! Not just the Watford v sours match ...

Watford v Spurs - tough , tough call . Watford 13pts in last 5 matches !!!
Arsenal v Sheffield United - no idea on this one !
Brighton v Aston Villa - anything could happen here !
Norwich v Bournemouth - 2 teams with the worst form in the league !
Southampton v Wolves - 2 teams that have flipped their form !
West Ham v Everton - 2 new managers and no idea how this will go !

 Kudos to the winner of next weeks yellow cap , as they definitely know their football !
