Yeah, that Zaha goal got me another exact prediction. Up another three places so far this week. To think I was 20-something-th two weeks ago, and now I'm only three points behind first.

^  How did you know?  Teach us. 

I really thought Palace was gonna drop more points that game, with or without Zaha...

Anyway congrats.  I wish I followed you on that bet, and that crazy one Wendigo did that had no chance of getting 3/3, but it did.  Lmao.

How did I know what? I really wasn't sure with the Palace game but I took a chance on it. Zaha has become somewhat of a good luck charm for palace. When he plays and they're playing nobody special they tend to win and quite a few people say so (though obviously isn't guaranteed).

Yup, how did you know about Zaha...  Didn't think he would make a difference this time cos they were away, they had a bad start, and Huddersfield is as hungry for points as they are.  And David Wagner seems like a decent manager...

Anyway, already shipped BTC for the CL pool.

I had Wolves 2-1 Burnley so I get 1.5 points for ‘being close’. Think most people got points out of this game. I have Everton 3-1 West Ham for the 4pm kick off.

Yeah looks like Everton will be taking a fat L today. I expected them to win, West Ham have been terrible so far this season.

That’s football though!

Even when Palace are struggling Zaha always looks somewhat impressive. When they were against Liverpool? A few weeks back I remember him being the only one threatening. Honestly, I can see a bigger team coming in for him in the future. Even if he's only used as a backup for one of the top 6 teams. He's definitely capable of coming on, and scoring. Especially against tired legs.

Not 100% related. But, considering I've decided not to jump into the champions league pool, and I'm keeping a very close eye on Liverpool this season, because I think they might go, and win the league finally...they made PSG look like school boys at times. Very impressive. They aren't even at top gear, and some of their star players aren't even sharp yet. Yet they are still getting results. Think they could do it?

I've not won a single yellow cap

Fuck. I totally forgot about these things. I'm actually going to sit down like I intended on doing weeks ago, and make my predictions up until the beginning of November just so I don't miss anymore.

We’re only 5 games in, plenty of time man

[tokeweed]

Eh?  Yellow caps?  Are those like the 'crown' thingies at the World Cup pool that could give you some bonus points...?

I think it should've been indicated under the 'rules' of the pool.  Anyway it's fine...  I don't think it would have helped me anyway.  Lol.

The highest scoring player gets a yellow cap each week, it's only a visual that shows who was the best for that week, nothing to do with bonus points etc.

You are not alone, I didn't either , anyway posting this to remind everyone, is action time this weekend for the EPL to be back and have some fun with this 10 games. Some of the teams are tired from Champions League so they are not to be bet on them a big amount of money during this weekend cause anything can happen. I have seen this scenario so many many many times in every major league so be cautious.

[Welsh]

Watford have had a really impressive start to the season. They are looking pretty good against Fulham, but they do look vulnerable on the counter attack. I'm thinking a score like 1-3 to Watford looking at this game.

Thanks for the reminder! I was sure I got my picks in but I hadn't so all in now for the next 3 weeks.

Even when Palace are struggling Zaha always looks somewhat impressive. When they were against Liverpool? A few weeks back I remember him being the only one threatening. Honestly, I can see a bigger team coming in for him in the future. Even if he's only used as a backup for one of the top 6 teams. He's definitely capable of coming on, and scoring. Especially against tired legs.

Wasn't Zaha from United before? I didn't recognize him from his face and I looked him up and he recently complained about being alone in his time at Manchester and was even loaned out after Ferguson bought him. Didn't even realize until I read him up now that he's no longer an England player (how is it possible people switch nationalities like that??).

He reminds me a little bit about guys like Jermain Defoe. Always reliable to score, and always gets bought by teams like Crystal Palace. I thought Benteke would also be that type of striker but good luck to him. I have a small heart for those type of underrated goal scorers.

Yes Watford are good and this is from a Spurs fan. We lost to them 2-1 and even that 1 goal was an own goal.

And the way they lost to United still makes them look good,,, which in the end is what makes the team great, when the supporters are happy after a loss. I had very high hopes for my team Spurs to make it but after losing 2 games in a row, and then Inter defeat, we are all very worried, especially when we lose because we did not play well.

I love my team so of course I hope they can make it big somehow, but I do not want another 2nd place or 3rd place it is heartbreaking,,, better to get 4th place but win FA cup or Europe. Even Europa league if we drop from Champions League. That is not the talk of a fan I know but the reality is we are all very tired the players. Kane cannot play every game to the max. And he should not be expected to do that.

I loved Defoe he was always good for our team. We have Kane now but you could always count on Defoe for goals. It is very difficult for English players now, they have to be superhuman to play for the club and then get disappointed in country games.

[o_e_l_e_o]

Well that didn't take long to get started. I almost missed it because I'd only just opened my stream and it was still buffering, haha. You can watch the goal here: https://streamja.com/gL6E

This should be an easy second half for Watford, and I would expect them to get at least another one. Fulham's defending has been absolutely atrocious. Shame I can't change my pick - I had put down 3-1 to Watford but I reckon 3-0 seems more likely right now.

Edit: Oh well, good thing I couldn't change my pick, haha. Stand by my statement that Watford should have easily had a couple more though. Entirely their own fault they let Fulham back in the game.

[Welsh]

Fulham did well I think. They were on the ropes for much of the first half, and only really threatened on the counter. I think Watford will be the more of disappointed with the result than Fulham.

Yeah, he recently complained that the Man Utd board didn't give him sufficient support during his transfer to CP. Zaha is pretty damn good, and I stand by my previous statement he'll likely find his way into a top 6 team. He's always got the unexpected in him, and I feel he's not getting the support he needs in the Crystal Palace squad. Fortunately, their style of play suits him down to the ground though. He's very effective counter attacking.
