Wow, what a round - 8,5 points is the maximum collected so far.

it was a weekend full of surprises: a Liverpool draw, Chelsea getting crushed by Sheffield, a shocking win for Spurs, and then Bournemouth with the biggest upset.

but let's stop with the surprises, yeah?   I have a 3-0 win for Man Utd in the pool. One of the easiest games for Ole & Co in this final stage of the season.

If nobody from the top 7 gets the correct result tonight, we won't breach the 10 pts barrier

I did some research because I wanted to know if it happened so far and we were close to it 3 times (10,5 points in round 8 and 10 pts in rounds 25 & 32), but actually already ended below 10 in round 28 (8,5 points).

Good old Rafa would say 'we must improve'

But sadly now we cannot improve in this round we have to wait for next season and then surely we are going to do something good and improved.

I thought about a possible outcome on the Liverpool draw game, but I changed from 1:1 to 1:0, I didn't want to take any risk here.

Also, I am not sure about ManU game that is so easy, they know that they can top up to 3rd place, and there is for sure some pressure to all players. I think it's most obvious on Pogba. I picked 3:1, so now I am waiting for one goal to get the exact score.

Saints ruined the party for United, who were in 3rd place for a good hour, until that Obafemi bundled in goal. Damn, but with City's news today (that was stupid wasn't it guys, I mean how do you overturn a ban unless it's even more money involved?), it's going to be crazy to see who gets the CL spots. It's all down to United vs Leicester.

Saints not alone this weekend ruined by Bournemouth Sheiff Utd as well but I am really happy that I have my first yellow cap after break special thing about this cap is I won this win single digit number mean I have only 8.5 points in pool and won this cap really happy right now and feeling proud about my achievement

As a Chelsea fan, dieing down due to our most recent lost that almond cost us our 3rd spot on the table, I'm the most relief seeing United drawing with Southampton and most importantly, seeing them still 5th on the table. I did lost hope around the 90th minutes until that corner was awarded to Southampton then regain some believe that the saints meant get a point and thankfully it happen as I wished.

With the United draw and Leicester lost we're still one of the favorite to end the season in top4 and I'm quite sure the boys won't make that mistake again as we play Norwich tommorow. This time we'll be getting the 3 boldly written on our jersey as scoreline (Chelsea 3-0 Norwish)

As I say in my previous post here, Ole insist to play with the same players last four or five games, probably he doesn't even know why. it was obvious they were tired, plus they played under pressure because they could have made significant progress on the table. Of course, in the last 10 minutes, it was obvious that their performance disintegrated. Close to Mourinho style.
Anyway it will be interesting, Chelsea also needs to play against Liverpool, and it will be very foolish to expect 3 clear points from there. There are no guaranteed points in his last match against Wolves.

No point for anyone in the last game. What a petty for Utd to drew with Southampton.
The pool is getting more challenging for me. Now MoSalah took my place and ahead by 3 points. I need to do something to have a good round for me. Round 36 is starting with Chelsea match. Are they going to win or we are waiting for any unpleasant surprise?

I'm glad they got the goal for the draw as that means no points for anyone. Four people went with 2-1 including tokeweed and LTU_btc which would have moved the later to one point behind me. Anyone anticipating any thrashings in the next few games? Chelsea playing Norwich tonight who are already relegated and have also lost their last 8 games. Chelsea are only point ahead of Leicester and Man U so need to keep hold of the Europe spots and Wolves and Sheff United are gunning for them as well. Man City Bournemouth tomorrow and that could be a drubbing. They've been playing pretty shit lately except for the bizarre 4-1 win they go against Leicester last week. Away to Man City I don't think they'll be that lucky though.

As a Liverpool fan, seeing United drop points is always a joy, but sweeter when they're the clear favourites and form team (I had Saints at 12/1 to win!) but no worries, you'll get past Norwich, but I'm not sure your defence will hold! Meeting us will be a different matter though;)

Gotta give them credit, they stood up well most of the time but Southampton did look stronger and fitter. I personally remember playing full games 2/3 times a week and at my peak I didn't feel more tired, unless I had injuries but keeping the same team playing keeps you sharp and build mental telepathy haha. But I agree, if your players aren't fit (as clearly Pogba showed) then you don't keep playing them.

Good thing is that there are competition in between all of us too to have better points in the pool. Yeah, most often I expect results even if I am with the winning side when I see the closest of mine will get much point than me. Like say in a match I have 3 - 0 and another one have 3 - 1. If the score is 2 - 1 then I always pray not to have another goal for the team I picked instead the opponent to score one more goal. This way a 3 - 1 will not give him full 3 points and me only to have 1 point 🤪

But it seems if you really do not do well in the upcoming 3 rounds than it will be harder for me to be in the first 5 considering 2nd position is gone for me already 😒

Toke is the one who can have peace. Damn Toke!

There is pros and cons for keeping the team same or rotating it every game. Maybe the best balance for me is a squad of about 14 players where all of them get similar minutes on the pitch (except goalkeeper).

Not all players are same and while some can play a full game every 2 days there are others who can't. United has quite young squad, especially in the attack so they don't have to do many substitutions but I feel like they should rotate their midfield players a bit. Maybe Fernandez can play every game, he is on the low side with his weight and I guess he has high fitness. Pogba and Matic probably can't keep that tempo so maybe Fred and McTominay should get some starts. Defenders usually do a little less running so they should be fine.

Don't forget to put up your picks in Superbru and FJ majestic 7 new match day starts this evening with Chelsea game. I again had 4 correct in Majestic 7, damn really had high hopes for this one and Salah and Auba came very close to scoring a goal and getting me a free bet at least.

I had 4 correct picks more than 4/5 times and yet to have at-least 5 picks to have something, winning 1 BTC seems to be a dream for everyone. I already made my picks and I think for us its better discussing on their official ANN. With that thought I made a post there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=774929.msg54793352#msg54793352

@Trofo yeah, you have certain players that need conditioning first before they play a preferred style/tempo, and not many clubs/managers recruit players for conditioning -- which is something almost certainly Liverpool currently does, but yeah you have to push through some pain barriers at first to get there and not all players are willing also. Trent's another lightweight player who's been asked to get stronger every day at training so it's not impossible to fix some weaknesses.

Oh I've hit 4/7 back to back now but yeah one of the big Six always screws it up. This last one was Liverpool haha (Robbo only scoring).

[tokeweed]

Holy..  Is anybody else watching this rn?  Arteta and his boy at Arsenal mad.    I def didn't expect this.

And it feels like it's gonna be another weird match week.  Those players are prolly fatigued af.

[big_daddy]

the pool picks will not be good today, but maybe I will make a few more good live bets

I'm on a goal catching margin tonight 







now I made a bet on Liverpool X2 (draw or win), cause the odds on over goals are still not good enough
let's see how this game will end

Good match so far, hopefully second half will be as interesting as first. Arsenal really looked good today and they are even playing without Auba. Have a feeling we will have more goals in this one so enough halftime writing and back to the game

Had both to score on this game for high stake so now I can just enjoy and crack open another cold beer.

What a way to bounce back from that pathetic defeat in the london derby. Good job, gunners...How much was an Arsenal win paying? did anyone check the odds?

well, good thing about this upset is that no one saw it comi....wait, 2 users predicted a 2-1 win for Arsenal in our pool!?? wut?

When the match starts odds was @4.70 and after first goal from Mane odds suddenly jumps and touch @11 but I have no heart to do any thing with these figures even I was sure something going to happen today which happen.

[BitSat19]

I just check pool just 2 members favouring Arsenal and I was one of them 3 was on draw its really shocking for me because after Manchester City vs Liverpool I was feeling many will try to select Arsenal instead of Liverpool but no so another shocking day ends now heads up for tomorrow.
