Have to hand it to mole0815 he's more than twice the points of his closest rival so far with 14.5 points. Amazing.

Wow madness. So this game day had it neat in itself so far. I hope that the rest still runs so (according to my plan) so that I can score properly!
Had planned to finally work my way up into the midfield

Anyway, time for Liverpool to show us some free flowing football, have a big bet on them.

Are you watching the game? This is so bad it's unbearable.

Carragher called it the worst 30 minutes under Klopp, I remember a few performances like this one but he isn't far off.

Hope you didn't invest a lot, Fulham is quite physical, they have been collecting the 2nd balls and we simply don't look like we will create anything concrete.

Yes I am watching it and Liverpool is not looking like themselves. And yes I invested quite a lot on what I considered a very safe multi, all other games passed and now waiting just for LFC. I can still cash out and get my whole stake back and I will do that after 10 minutes in second half if we don't see a very different game. I am expecting Klopp to yell a bit on them during break and hopefully then we will see a much better LFC.

He already did during the game, it was so funny to see. He is fuming, look at this video:

He was shouting WAKE UP for like a minute, and rightfully so. We look as if somebody woke us not in the middle of a night, but in a middle of a 50-year hibernation.

The worst part is that there's no one on the bench who can change things up a bit. Hope we do wake up, losing points to Fulham would be bad.

It's not looking good for LFC, and Fulham is looking inspired.  That was a good strike by Salah few minutes ago, but a better save by Areola.

I already lost my multi when the Spurs choked at Selhurst.  I had LFC and Arsenal in it too, so I gave myself many opportunities to flop, lol.  Hopefully I can recover some of my losses on today's NFL games...

Terrible result for my boys today, things just are not going well this season. So many injuries, they just keep adding up, Matip injured now. We have 0 fit senior specialist centre backs at the club now. Gomez, Van Dijk, Matip all injured. Fabinho is a midfielder playing out of position, bad times. I can see is losing to Spurs on Wednesday.

Really poor from Liverpool standard after today match I am feeling this year is going to be very tough for them as Injury list is growing very quickly and time is also running very quickly now all eyes on next match if they able to stop Spurs then surely they can do some good otherwise I am feeling its going to be very terrible for them as now Manchester City Chelsea and Spurs all doing good for top spots.

Edit:  Congrates to @mole0815 for your first yellow cap of this season with until know record points 19 very good work by you on this really disspointed week good luck for rest of season.

Now we are coming back for midweek games as now we have first game on 16th Decmeber good luck to all.

When you think that Arsenal can't be worse, they say "hold my beer" and they somehow lose to mighty Burnley at home. Jokes aside, but they are really getting close to relegation zone.
What a round for @mole0815 - yellow cap with 19 points and 5 exact scores! Very impressive, congratulations. While 2nd place got just 9 points. Can't remember anything similar.
Another round full of surprises. Don't forget that next round begins on Tuesday already. There will be a lot of EPL action during Christmas period.

[mole0815]

What a result


As you can see, my tips were (once again) exactly the opposite of the majority of you. This time I had the luck on my side.
Too bad that tomorrow it goes on again with the next game day because the yellow cap I would have worn like longer

Is there a special prize for the winner of the day? Watford shirt, 50 USD credit? We've had a few issues like that, haven't we?
Sorry but I had not dealt with it because I did not think to ever be affected

//edit: Have already received the message from Steve. Question is therefore deleted. Thank you!

[jayce]

mole0815, which satan did you sell your soul to? I mean, how on earth you managed to predict exact score on Palace vs Spurs and Arsenal vs Burnley Even it's still hard to predict the result on both of those matches lol. Congrats man!

[hilariousetc]

Didn't watch any of the games but what happened to Liverpool and Spurs getting draws?

Quite impressive for this round. Don't think I've seen a gap that big for the yellow cap before. It's usually only a few points that separates them. I guess it was getting both 1-1 draws right that gave you a big boost as not many people went for the draws. Up 23 places in one round shows yet again that it's not over for anyone as you can climb the table very quickly with a couple of good rounds.

Don't forget that there's midweek games this week starting tomorrow. The Christmas/new year period is always crammed with games so make sure not to miss them. Liverpool - Tottenham are playing on Wednesday and will probably be fighting it out for first place. Hard to call that one. I think there'll either be a load of goals and drama, or a boring 0-0-0-0 or something 

[mole0815]

Thank you for the congratulations guys.
I will send my tips for the next matchday right now and I already placed my free bet (thanks Steve!) today.



And until the next matchday is over I will wear the cap with pride and do my best to continue to cause a stir with some special tips

@mole0815
You were on fire this match week, the highest scoring round so far & not just that, pretty much everybody else scored really poorly so you made some real progress with moving up in the table.

My predictions are in, hopefully some people forget to put their scores in as we have midweek games

[buwaytress]

@mole0815 You ended up winning it big, well done to you, and well done for picking brave upsets. 23 positions jump in a week's play, bloody hell you are bastard of the season so far. Yellow cap off to you.

In other news, just read that Houllier passed away. I know not many people will view him as a great, certainly, he doesn't appear alongside Rafa and Klopp on flags, but his was the era I first first truly followed Liverpool -- the 00/01 Haul of Five season, when Owen, Gerrard, Carragher were all coming up the ranks. He continued to make appearances often throughout the years, and I think if not for his heart issues, we may have had a steadier ship in those days. Paved the way for Rafa and Istanbul. RIP Houllier.

[Harkorede]

Great week for Mole0815, I haven't seen anything similar.

You were entirely on a different level from everyone else, and to move up 23 spots is definitely no fluke... Every single point you earned was extremely important because you earned it alone

I just read the news as well. He will be missed.

Another coach passed just yesterday - Otto Baric. He made big impact in Croatia and Austria while coaching multiple clubs from those leagues. He was also a manager of Croatia (Euro '96 in England), Albanian & Austrian national teams. So that is two great coaches in two days.

RIP Houlier & Baric

Impressive stuff mole0815 

As for me, I'm now tied for 4th place and only 12.5 points away from tomahawk9 who sits in 1st place.

Midweek games start tomorrow with Wolves - Chelsea and Man. City - West Brom, so for the 20 of you who still haven't made your picks, don't forget to do so!

I was expecting to see Champions League games today and were confused when I saw two Premier League games so thought to come here and check and am glad that I did.I put my predictions in as I have been really bad so far and have missed that beginner luck so far.

This kinda hit me as well. Houllier often does not get the recognition he deserves, yet he was the man that started saving Liverpool. I guess he's not on the flags because he didn't bring neither the CL or the PL, but he did bring back the belief we somehow lost during the Souness era.

I liked Evans as well but I was just starting to follow the club then so Houllier was the first manager I connected with. Not to mention that he was the one that nurtured a few of the Liverpool's future greats, mostly Carragher and Gerrard.

It's a shame he had a lot of health issues, if he didn't, his time in Liverpool would have been even better.

I still got the goosebumps from that Owen brace against Arsenal for the FA cup, the Gary Mac brilliance against Everton and that Alaves nailbiter.

YNWA, Gerard.

Reading this just makes me feel so old. Although I hadn't yet been able to watch games in those days (1998 was my first major tournament I was able to watch, sneaking into the science lab to watch the games as they aired during school times, even got our science teacher suspended for helping us sneak games in during lessons though the good boys in class reported him), I do know the name Baric.

And yeah I never got to know Evans, Houllier was the guy I remember most for my first joys with Liverpool. I think he also did great with Hyppia, Henchoz, Hammann -- IIRC they built some great defence, made Anfield a fortress again and along with the Merseysiders, they were the unfancied team that Rafa inherited and won UCL with -- imagine 2 finals with the great AC Milan! Owen final yeah, McAllister screamer, and him celebrating oh man, none of us can forget that!

Reminds me just how long we've been having football in our lives... all the memories, good and bad. I imagine them all in football heaven, watching the games and playing each other all day.
