Wolves are back, after City scored fast goal, maybe there could be some missed points for City tonight? edit: City is already up again
more goals in first ten minutes of that match, than in all three others for a halftime, it is just Chelsea scored against Leeds, pushing them closer to relegation

Leeds were never really going to win that game. Shocking behaviour from them the last two matches. Two completely unnecessary sending's off. Ayling sliding in near the corner flag when the Arsenal player was going nowhere when a slight touch would have put it out for a corner and then Daniel James going in with a leg breaker in the middle of the pitch against Chelsea for no reasons. Their goal difference is irrelevant right now so it wouldn't have matter how many they conceded so they should have concentrated on saving their best players for the last two games, not getting them banned for the rest of the season. Phillips was really lucky not have been sent off as well.

Two games left, and I still have a little hope for Liverpool, call me deluded . Although, it looks like City will win, they have a tough two games ahead of them. I know they absolutely smashed Newcastle, but it makes you wonder with the injuries starting to rack up, and the fact that Kevin has been somewhat carrying them for a few games now.

Everton look to have survived the drop, and I don't know how I feel about it. Leeds looking the most likely to go down, which it was only a couple of weeks ago, that they looked home, and dry. That's the unpredictability of he league I guess.

I think we can now start looking at next season, and yeah I'll probably be joining, and actually properly participating, even if I have to set one day to guess the entire season results. Anyway, City strengthening with Haaland, probably means making predictions with them will be a lot easier, since I find that the lack of a striker has caused a few hiccups this season in terms of predicting the correct score. They should score a little more freely next season. Whereas, Liverpool haven't had any solid links with anyone yet, but we're going to need to look to improve, despite myself looking at the squad, and thinking we probably have world class players in every position, and if it wasn't for City, we would be running away with the league for years to come. I'm glad we have city for that reason though.

The odds are certainly stacked against them but I hope City lose on Sunday to at least make the last round interesting.

Well, Aston Villa played decent against us, and we kind of struggled. They threatened on the attack, and I personally consider our defense better than Man City's. I think the one thing is City is in the kind of form now that they'll always manage to score at least one. They've just got that momentum, and Villa haven't got the best defense, although it isn't bad from what I saw the other day.

West Ham, who they play next definitely have a chance. The only issue with them is they're very inconsistent. One week they look like top 5 challengers, and then the next week they look like a team pushing for the top half of the table. So, if City can catch them on a good day, I have all the faith in the world they can get something from the game.

I'm going with a 2-1 victory to West Ham, just on faith alone.

Do not worry you are just being a fan. You can imagine what kind of fantasies I had about Spurs in Champions League until we met you guys, and you can imagine how much I am fantasising now that Arsenal and Chelsea will continue to lose,,, while Son scores a hattrick to overtake Salah total and win golden boot on last day.

I agree to start early for next season. Just to get interest in and we can pay later when Bitcoin recovers  Join all the pools then you set all your scores for entire weeks for 1 month and it is all done in 15 minutes

One goal in it. Very possible, considering the form that Salah has been in recent, and by that I don't mean he's playing bad, just not scoring as much. Still getting those assists in. Honestly, this is why I think Son has been criminally underrated for most of his career. Dare I say it, if he was at another club, he might get recognised a lot more for the quality player that he is. I'd have him in a heartbeat.

Son is even more impressing in this golden boot situation, since Salah has scored a couple of his goals from penalties, which I don't think Son takes pens right? It would be Kane? I know Ronaldo has also been doing pretty well, considering the team he is playing in.

same here, hoped for a draw, seeing Arsenal in CL next season almost for sure
and did not think that there are chances for Arsenal to win tonight

and both teams are known that do not plays draws, while Tottenham already played one this weekend, with Liverpool, so no draw here
and still, I have put 1:1

to be honest, Everton situation last night frustrated me a bit, one of better matches lately, and could not score against Watford, hopefully, there will be a win against Brentford or Palace, to secure next Premier league season

Every missed outcome feels like a big loss right now at the top eh? Thought I was gaining, and I guess the yellow cap helped a lot but you guys been supremely good when you get it right.

Everton not scoring, definitely a bummer, but then, we all knew they're playing well below whatever standards you should expect from an EPL team. Agree they'll end up staying up though. Leeds throwing it all away like Arsenal, except they are doing it out of pure dumb frustration rather than pressure. Coach must be exiting too.

Anyone currently having problems with the standings and weekly standings loading? It keeps loading for me and then gives me an error or keeps loading. Is this a problem on my side or is it overall for everyone . This is happening to me already 2 days on superbru

I am using the phone app most of the time and this is a rare occurrence while these last 2 days it takes a bit of time to load even though I am on a dedicated 100 Mbps fiber connection but in the end it loads and everything is correct,you are 8th at 343.5 points actually if this what you want to know.

Son is even more impressing in this golden boot situation

I remember last week i saw a post on reddit where people were talking about a special bet in some bookie: Son to finish as top scorer @5 odds... literally free money, Sonaldo is playing phenomenal lately, Salah (current top scorer) not so much

no problems here. Try different browsers, something similar happened to me a while ago and it was some addon blocking something in superbru

I am having problems as well, maybe they don't like us in small countries and they are throttling the connection. JK, the servers are probably a bit overloaded with everybody checking scores in monster game week. Should settle today hopefully so we can make our picks tomorrow.

Regarding Son, he is playing in a form of his life and Kane is dropping a bit deeper and feeding him with balls. Considering quite weak opponents they have in last two games, could be a lot more goals for Son.

it is usually hard to load tables when several matches is on (I do not even try on peak hours)
and it is loading only round table, not complete (at least for me)

important matches ahead for Everton in next few days, Brentford and Palace at home, one win should do the work to avoid relegation

Since Everton is playing at home then it should be not such a big problem for them to win at least one game,most probably I think they can win more easily against Brentford than against Palace.Don't get me wrong no one of the teams is easy to beat considering the form of Everton but if I had to choose one I would be on Everton to win against Brentford,knowing that Brentford has not that great of a record when not playing at home.

Son does not like to take penalties correct If Kane is injured even it was Dele Alli, now he left I am not sure who but in cup games even Reguilon took penalties before Son.

I have been saying this about Son for a long time,,, even much more so than Harry Kane. Which is of course not something to complain about or say is unfair since he is captain of England squad and well he is English and he should gather the admiration of all. Son is something special and typical hardworker, and if you see his interviews in Asia, he is like the most humble kid.

Most rich or educated Koreans avoid national service also,,, in fact most countries here national service is always somehow exempt for the rich or famous, but Son is one of the few who did not deny it and went full.

[buwaytress]

15 minutes in and Spurs have forced 3 saves, 90% possession, corners, 6 shots, what you got, you name it, they are doing it. Burnley's got to be going down if this continues. As it is, I'm switching off for chores, that was some adrenaline rush, back to see Hammers... hammer City. The dream must go on ha ha.

Son, Kane, Davies all taking turns... leea if your boy takes the Golden Boot, I have to say he deserves it man. Salah will too if he ends up with it, but you have plenty of admirers in this pool from Liverpool supporters!

I had to choose one I would be on Everton to win against Brentford,knowing that Brentford has not that great of a record when not playing at home.

I would chose Brentford as well, since win over Brentford would give hard time to Leeds and Burnley
if we do not win that one, pressure before Palace would be intense, and last match with Arsenal is hardly a straw, and Burnley and Leeds would have more motivation for their matches, in case we do not win

Burnley is still on draw against Tottenham

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Let's imagine West Ham 1 - 0 after full time and City draw against Villa. 🤣

Lifeline Liverpool. Thought Hammers were well worth a win, actually had the better chances in second half too... Bowen side netting to fall short of a hattrick and Antonio missing the 1v1... Convert those and I do not think City would have found a way through. Still, we need to win against Saints and Wolves, and hope Gerrard pulls of a famous assist for his old club. Coutinho too, hopefully, at least City were made to sweat and we do have a final day sprint if we take points from Southampton...

Game on. But too many draws hurt me in this pool... Well done casper!

Leeds brought me up, jinxed for Everton to avoid relegation, but we are as shit
it is hard to believe that we are down against Brentford at home, after having lead on half-time

obviously, it will be up to Leeds, not us, we could secure next season with a win over Brentford, but playing shitty is the least what I can say for our play
there is one more chance against Palace, and Brentford against Leeds in last round (but they obviously have greater motivation against us)

Those draws destroyed me too and pushed me back some couple of positions,I differently from you play for nothing so it didn't do me any bad but I think any position you go down in the top 10 it is a lost amount of money especially now that only one week remains.

City just sparked some really light hopes of Liverpool who can give another final assault but it will be very difficult for them to win the title as I highly doubt that Manchester City will make another mistake in their last game.

Yeah, it's just way too tight up here and if I'd just gone for a few more draws overall, I'd be okay. Then again, picking a side to win's also helped me in the beginning, right now it's pure luck the way top 5 are separated by mere points.

The title's been City's to lose as soon as they pipped Chelsea for the lead, more or less the story of the past 5 seasons -- cept the one where we ran away with it. We're still more likely to drop points in the last 2 games than they are in their last, so yeah, it's going to be a miracle for them to lose it on the last day. Nice thing about leagues in Europe is every last game is played on final day.

Been a while since we seen an Aguerooooooo... might the stars align?

I could understand if this was the final game of the season and you must do everything possible to win, including rough challenges.

But this is the 2nd last game to go,,, and it is Brentford, why they had to go like that after such a great win, Lampard is becoming like Arteta now unable to control his player discipline.
