Arsenal had to concede one goal.  -_-  Would've been nice to get another exact score.  But at least these two matches didn't end like covid era matches.  

I'll take it!

Edit:  Man U vs Spurs:  Covid era football.  Lololol!

I will either end today significantly richer or hanging on the ropes First 4 games in Premier league look like such easy victories for home teams so I did not resit and placed way too many bets. I locked my pool picks to check the consensus and most of us in the pool agree as well. Hopefully, that City slip up yesterday was enough and these games will pass easy and if another favorite has to drop some points, this time I am hoping it is Liverpool. Only one I haven't put money on since it is lowest odds and Mane has covid so maybe someone else drops out before the match as well. Sorry all you Liverpool fans out there.

I booked already quite good wins including Sportsbet's boosted 7/1 parlays on the favourites (gotta say it was really close on Wolves and Arsenal though!). Lost a number of parlays but so far doing well on Spurs took a big single bet on HT Spurs and they're already 4-1. Had them at 2-0 in the pick and seriously, that should be 3-0 now if not for the customary penalty for Fernandes.

Only one person picked 3-1 so I guess if the scores stay like this then it's only 1 guy with 1.5 points. What a rout this is turning out to be, maybe another Son hattrick on the cards?

rdbase has a fantastic 5-4 score (that's ballsy man) but I can't see the home side scoring another goal, never mind 3 more!

Martial red-carded so the only way United get a point is if Spurs do a United...

I DO hope Liverpool win though cause my other remaining parlay today is Spurs-Pool! The odds weren't very good yeah, but it's actually been dropping since confirming Thiago and Mane are out! Bad timing for sure but I'm confident we've still got the goods.

i've seen teams playing with 8 or 9 players and they still put up a good fight against the opposing 11-men team...but United were just 1 man down today...just wth happened? 😲 1-6? and Man Utd thinks Cavani is the solution? lol

I think it is not going to be a hard job for us to win against Villa. We still have Salah and Firmino. Let's just hope that we do see witness an upset. I have 1 - 3 for Liverpool today in the pool. With only 8.5 points (including one slam point), I am not doing well in this round although I have 6 correct pick. Without having exact score it's hard to get a lot of points.

1-6?

Nightmare for Utd. How come!

[webtricks]

After 4 awful rounds, finally I am in for the delight! Yeah! I am the Yellow Cap contender for this round. One game left and I calculated all the odds. There are only two possibilities in which I will end second:

If Liverpool wins 4-0, then tomahawk9 will end 1.5 points above me.
If match ends in 1-1, then casperBGD  and I will end in same points but he will get first spot for more correct predictions.

In every other circumstances, I am taking home the yellow cap for the weekend. Dr. Strange help me!

Good luck to you. It seems Liverpool is having a nightmare so far. In less than 23 minutes they conceded two goals. If they want to get anything from this match then first they will have to score 2 goals to level it up and then possibly another goal to get 3 points. But so far it is far away.

I really hope we comeback and do something in this match.

[Trofo]

I really hope we comeback and do something in this match.

Now they have a perfect opportunity show what they are made of. Hopefully we will see some sort of comeback and not total flop like Leicester and United earlier or Wolves last week. I never remember outsiders winning with such margins. Yes, upsets are always possible but they would usually be a scraped win with barley a goal to spare and not 3:0 or 4:0 wins. Strange season

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

4 - 1 down!
Nothing left for us in this match. Is this how we defend?  Adrian is a good for nothing. I feel we have no keeper today. What is going on!?

Another x - 1 upset where x>=4

Villla scores 4 goals, in the first half, against Liverpool is a big upset. I am not interested in this match anymore.

conceding 3 goals against a recently promoted team like Leeds wasn't a fluke or a bad day, Liverpool just can't defend...But tbh, if there's a team that can comeback from this is Liverpool...but still, damage is done, their defence is abysmal right now

edit* comeback?? lol 1-5 already, yikes! reminder that Villa were on the verge of getting relagated like 2 months ago

This looks comic, I am just glad my fellow country man Lovren isn't there any more. If he was he would be the guy to take the fall for sure
Liverpool is just playing with low intensity and they are a bit late to every tackle and that ended up with couple of very unlucky deflections. They need their captain Henderson on the pitch immediately to yell on them and somebody to change Gomez before they concede few more.

[cygan]

holy s**t - what is goin on..
aston villa 7-2 fc liverpool
and the match takes about 20 minutes...

today we will witness the highest defeat of fc liverpool in the very long club history

[LTU_btc]

Aston Villa 7:2 Liverpool - is that real life? I'm watching my Barca game right now, so I don't see what's going on there. But I really regret that I didn't watched this game. When I saw result on Flashcore, I thought that my eyes are lying and that Liverpool is actually leading. It's probably their biggest defeat in EPL.
This EPL is such crazy, so many unbeleavable results. It's pure gold mine for bookmakers.
I see that @rdbase predicted Spurs win 5:4 over MU. I'm wondering, was it intentional prediction or typing mistake?

[buwaytress]

Well. We deserve it. Defence was like shit. Adrian flapping about and he started the entire night's theme of helplessness gifting Villa that first goal. Offside trap not working. Sorry Gomez and VVD you guys were awful. I was rooting for Grealish to score 8-2 to be honest, and the way Klopp was looking, I bet he has a seething fit next time he has his defence session.

The mistake was to take Keita off at HT and in Minamino. We were already creating chances we needed to just be patient. And Gomez needed taken off 100%.

We miss Alisson, Henderson, for sure. Effing hell this shit.

[Harkorede]

What a premier league season unfolding, and what a match day to reckon with, Liverpool were such a mess today, and they had a fair dosage of their own style of play, perhaps in a better fashion, once the spaces within their defense line were occupied with switch plays from the flank, and that was it

[leea-1334]

Very happy me,,, so happy to see that my guys are on fire and no less against Manchester United to beat them 6-1 is a dream. I was very happy to take Spurs before the game at 3.5, but I split my money between +0 and +0.5 so I did not win AS much,,, but still very happy. Should have gone for Betbuilder and both halves win but I never thought the game would be so easy.

Condolences to Liverpool:)

[swogerino]

I feel your pain man.I was in a dinner with friends and family and didn’t check the results knowing that Liverpool would have had an easy win.I woke up this morning and saw the unbeliveable result.

It was a bad week for almost all participants of the tournament with a few exceptions.I still think Liverpool is the team to beat this year too.

[hilariousetc]

I didn't do too bad this round getting 8.5 points and coming 30th out of 50 but still ended up rock bottom on the table  . I didn't bother watching the Liverpool game as I thought it would be boring and an safe Liverpool win. What happened to them? Nobody picked the Villa win and only one person went for the draw. Villa are now second in the table with a game in hand. Everton are in first place right now and they've playing Liverpool in the first game next round. Now that will be a game to watch.


There's no games until the 17th now because of the crappy international break.

I read they are buying like 2 more players now I think when I see them the problem is not the players talents and skills but their mentality. They have been playing like shit every week (so have Spurs sometimes but the mentality there has been improving I can see).

United are splashing money but I don't believe it will all hit. Their Dutch midfield looks so so, Cavani will be all right but he's an Ighalo replacement. Their new left back coming well, don't they already have Wan Bissaka?
