Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread

[tomahawk9]

Man City are going to run away with the league title so damn easily, it's not even funny anymore, it's bizarre 💀 They're going to obliterate Liverpool in a few weeks, Arsenal will run out of steam soon and Man City will win the whole thing before the end of the year. At least we're gonna a very entertaining top 4 race, EPL never disappoints in that regard

Antony just scored, comeback is on!!1

[KTChampions]

Ten Hag is a piece of shit. First, he stole my bet:



It was easy 200+ odds.
Secondly, his personal dislike of Ronaldo is beginning to tire me. I hope Ten Hag will be fired after the first round, and Ronaldo will find a better team in the winter transfer window. I think by the end of the first round, Ten Hag will drown the team so deeply that there will simply be no other way out.

[Trofo]

Anybody watching the match?  Man U fans are leaving and they are mad. 

Yeah I was watching the match and enjoying every minute of it. It is not that I am City supporter I just like to see good football. I expected City to win easy but and United to score a goal so, I also banked a nice ticket.


Must say I did not expect City to score 6. This is Haaland 3rd hat trick and he needed 8 games to get to that number. Record was held by Micheal Owen, he needed 40+ games to do the same. That is one of the stats that perfectly show Haaland dominance in the league. When I remember that I thought he will have rough start and that Kane is safer option in fantasy 

[Igebotz]

igehhh must be really happy his team took all 3 points, while Liverpool supporters will be unhappy they lost 2 points in the final times. I couldn't watch any matches at all, I saw a bit of the Arsenal one as it was dinner break watching, but I think we can safely say that half of yesterday's games went as expected?

Saints destroyed me for sure

I'm not even close. being content, man! I lost $50 because of that game, I added Loserpool to my acca to increase the odds of my perfect four fold of Arsenal, Chelsea, AC Milan, and Loserpool for the weekend, I had to endure the agony of both Loserpool and Chelsea losing at the same time, equalized at the same time, Loserpool went ahead with 3-2, then I had my mindset on Chelsea to get the winner and then boom! Loserpool conceded again immediately after Chelsea scored the winner. Loserpool are so bad, Loserpool fans must be going through hell, I had HBP cheering for them for 90 minutes.

Congratulations, Manchester City, on winning the 2022/2023 Premier League season. Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham should all be ashamed for allowing Manchester City to turn the league into a farmers league. Having KDB and Haaland on the same team is a cheat code.

[buwaytress]

Then I remember that I thought he will have rough start and that Kane is safer option in fantasy 

You and me both, and anyone who actually bothered to analyse. My son keeps telling me "I told you so" and he's just a guy who plays Haaland on his FIFA all the time, and follows him on social media.

3 home hattricks in a row, Citeh fans must be in dreamland. Oh, and he did 2 assists too...

All this without Maguire. United did pull 2 goals back (who else forgot Martial was a new option under new manager?) but that was really just City gifting them.

Congratulations, Manchester City, on winning the 2022/2023 Premier League season. Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham should all be ashamed for allowing Manchester City to turn the league into a farmers league. Having KDB and Haaland on the same team is a cheat code.

Agree, but why is Chelski blameless here? We all need to join the losers' circle as equals. Anyway we meet Haaland again in about 2 weeks. As you all know, I am betting a figurative house on this one, stupidly. Early odds are Liverpool 31/10.

Are you too hasty? City are still behind Arsenal and if this state of affairs continues, City may even be outside the top six  
As for the cheat code, I agree, but City is practically unlimited in budget, so it's rather strange that only now they got something like that.

It is obvious that Haaland will break all the Premier League goalscoring records this season and most likely he will get the Ballon d'Or and not Mbappe.

[CLS63]

The Manchester derby was really lovely! Haaland is just an insane striker. He made another hat-trick and got two assists also. By this performance, he has made his third hat-trick in three home matches in a row. He has already reached 14 goals in his 8th match in the league. He can surely break a new goal record as long as he maintains this amazing effort.

The goal record (in the 38-match format) belongs to Salah who scored 32 goals in the 2017-18 season. But Haaland scored almost the half of that while we aren't even close to half season.    It is still early to talk about the champion of this season. But it is the truth that no team can prevent Manchester City from achieving the title as long as their beast plays like this.

he reached three hattricks in 8 matches, and Owen is second on the list, with 48 matches till 3 hattricks in Premier league, unbelievable
and yeah, this is to Farmers league as well, he could not score that many goals in Bundesliga, probably tougher opponents?

not even listen to Pep anymore, without hearing his Haaland will not play all the time, I would be much better off in FPL

Yeah, for over four years now, we have never pretended to compete for the league title like other shitty top four teams because we know we can only compete well in European leagues and cup competitions with fewer matches because we do not have a good squad depth to carry us for 38 games in the league and for the past three seasons we have shown dominance in cup and European competitions. Chelsea is undergoing rebuild following Putin's invasion of Ukraine, >: and we have lost many things in the process. Give them a break. I'm not sure why Loserpool are so shitty with their expensive keeper and €100 million striker.

Manchester United, with a more compact and better defense than Loserpool, conceded 6 goals against only Haaland and Foden; are you wondering what Loserpool would do with a shaky midfield and defense?

Quick tip: 7-1 C.S

Lol. Wake up man! Assnal are only pretenders taking points off other shitty teams. Sooner or later they will fade away.

I didn't find that lovely the Manchester derby,at least not seeing Manchester United concede 6 goals in a game and 4 goals in the first half where they showed as non existent in the field,and so they were until the end of the game when they scored 2 goals and those goals were only scored because City didn't care that much at that point.I was expecting a narrow win from City or even a draw in this game taking into consideration the recent good results of Manchester United.

It is early to tell but City looks like they are going to have an easy Premier League this year as I don't think Arsenal will resist much longer.

City outside top 6? How? C'mon, now they're just 1 point behind Arsenal. Though, I agree that awarding them title after just 8 rounds and when they're not even on top is a bit too hasty .

Haaland from farmers league now writting new history of EPL, just 8 games so far and 14 goals scored, including 3 hattricks. Crazy. As you noticed, he didn't had such performances in farmers league.
There is just one real farmers league and it's called Ligue 1

[Welsh]

Well, that's probably the worst weekend I've had in terms of predicitons. I tried to be fancy, and predict the unpredictable hoping to make up some points, and well that ended very badly. I don't think I'll employ that technique going forward .

Also, Liverpool are still bad. Man City are still great, and Haaland keeps scoring for fun. I'm starting to feel a little more grateful the World Cup will be coming up in a few months, because Liverpool need a real sort out. Trent who I've been a supporter of before in times of criticism, has been absolutely woeful, and it's not just his positioning, but the lack of desire to defend.

Anyway, I'll continue to be hopeful Liverpool pick their form up. It's only a matter of time...right? Also, I was completely wrong about Haaland. I knew he was good, but I thought he'd have injury issues as he has had them before, for lengthy periods like Aguero. Well, it turns out he only needs ten games a season to actually win the golden boot so.

Oh very well then, I must say I was better off for this week to be honest, those two draws from Leeds and Bournemouth, I really don't like to settle for draw because I find them very tricky, but in this case those goalless draw gave mean extra point for the slam point, and If I should get it right, even just the right outcome for Leicester City vs Notthingham Forest will have me get the yellow for the week, so I literally can't complain and I also moved up by 7 positions in the leaderboard.

On TAA, I also agree that he's not the best guy defensively, but he just doesn't show any form of desire whatsoever and that's what most of the critics are about, you've just got to show the interest on there defense especially when the team are as a whole are struggling, maybe it's time for Klopp to just try out playing 3-4-3 at least that should give them another man helping in defense.

[slaman29]

Liverpool didn't and that is enough to destroy a lot of points.I think Arsenal ended like predicted and I got a close result there together with West Ham which also got as expected,then in the end I got Chelsea correct score.I was expecting a Brentford win which it didn't come and also a draw in the Southampton game.So yes most likely half of the games ended like expected from the strong ones well except Liverpool which besides losing points to many in the pool I am sure has also ruined many bets that people had made on them.

Liverpool are now Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspurs. Do not trust them, do not put them on your tickets, or at least bet against them.

Any team playing them to score first seems to be amazing value this season too

I'm not even close. being content, man! I lost $50 because of that game, I added Loserpool to my acca to increase the odds of my perfect four fold of Arsenal, Chelsea, AC Milan, and Loserpool for the weekend, I had to endure the agony of both Loserpool and Chelsea losing at the same time, equalized at the same time, Loserpool went ahead with 3-2, then I had my mindset on Chelsea to get the winner and then boom!

Live betting does seem to be great for Liverpool though, they have been either winning or drawing from losing positions, according to some article from last season they have been the team to get the most points after going behind first in all leagues!

What's HBP?

[swogerino]

I don't think that many people did that well in this round as I have seen the top places didn't move a lot in points so I assume almost all the pool did pretty badly during this weekend.We still have one game to be played tonight which should be hopefully Leicester first win of the season.I think they are not a team that has not quality and is going to be relegated but they have had a huge amount of bad luck in their games,hopefully tonight this changes for the better.They should be able to win against Nottingham tonight.

City outside top 6? How? C'mon, now they're just 1 point behind Arsenal. Though, I agree that awarding them title after just 8 rounds and when they're not even on top is a bit too hasty .

This is the joke - if Arsenal stays ahead of City by 1 point, then this is possible since we all know that Arsenal will definitely fall in the standings. Therefore, if Arsenal is in 5th place, then City will be one point behind on the 6th. Not everyone understood the course of my thoughts.
And yes, it's too early to talk about the results of the championship, last season Haaland missed a lot of games due to injuries, who knows how the situation will turn out this season.

What's HBP?

On inplay, the only option I consider is HT under 1.2 or 2.5.
@10 and most of the time @1.15 odds for English Premier League games, then HT 0.5 for Championship games, but it's a waste of time; the best thing to do now is ignore Liverpool.

HBP; High blood pressure.

I got this weird itch to put silly money on Leicester tonight to make up for everything over the weekend... 18/10 looks impossible value at home against a promoted side, and Brendan needs his job.

Am I digging a hole for myself or making a smart recovery?

Agree, but why is Chelski blameless here?

Yeah, for over four years now, we have never pretended to compete for the league title like other shitty top four teams because we know we can only compete well in European leagues and cup competitions with fewer matches because we do not have a good squad depth to carry us for 38 games in the league and for the past three seasons we have shown dominance in cup and European competitions.

I'm not sure why Loserpool are so shitty with their expensive keeper and €100 million striker.

That's an expensive pretense to be keeping up, then, if title ambitions weren't part of the plan for 4 years, but I guess oil money's for having fun in the cups. Depth? Well, I guess your loan army has a little to blame for that

80m Fofana can come compete with our expensive striker hopefully when we next meet, eh? I'm willing to bet money he does better than a certain 100+m striker you guys just offloaded (again loan army) back to Italy.

Leicester City at 1.75 looks fantastic. I'm not going to take such a risk, so I went with Under 2.5 @1.42  Because these are two shady clubs, expect them to go back and forth until 90 minutes, with 1-2 total goals.

That's an expensive pretense to be keeping up, then, if title ambitions weren't part of the plan for 4 years, but I guess oil money's for having fun in the cups. Depth? Well, I guess your loan army has a little to blame for that

Oh, you took one of our low-rated Academy Solnake for £20 million and then sold him back to the Championship a few months later? Oh, you must be sad . In addition, our academy players have contributed more to our main team than your academy has done for Loserpool. We have 1-2 players from our academy in 19 of the league's clubs; can we say the same for Loserpool Academy? Nope

80m Fofana can come compete with our expensive striker hopefully when we next meet, eh? I'm willing to bet money he does better than a certain 100+m striker you guys just offloaded (again loan army) back to Italy.

Nigga trying to push Lukaku to £100m mark so badly. I understand.

Nice.  I had City to win and under 4.5 combo at 1.92.  I kinda thought United getting a goal in would be doubtful.  Lol.  But yeah..  You win some, you lose some. 

Anyway, what do you think of the Arsenal vs Liverpool match.  Seems like it's another good one for BTTS and over 2.5 combo.  The line is decent too, it's at 1.88 the last time I checked at Stake.  You prolly could get it over 1.90 at Sportsbet with their line boosts.
