...
If you don't mind, I can send you a PM in 1 hour to kick off sice you're always active on the forum. ( anything for the fun of the game.  )

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm good. I made an alarm to trigger every Wednesday at noon, telling me to do my picks for the week. If I forget with that - then nothing will help anyway

There's still a lot of points to play for so I'm looking to close the gap this week! I already did the picks hahah.

For the predictions you have put them to early,I usually wait to see some news from sports websites and magazines before deciding and always put my picks a minimum of 24 hours before kick off but often I delay them further,usually 5-6 hours before kick off.

He's killing two birds with one stone right now, he's already missed 1-2 game weeks to put in his predictions, so I understand why he put up his predictions earlier than expected, and since the picks aren't locked yet, he can still edit them before kickoff if he feels the need to. The EPL is just so complicated; the more you analyze, the more likely you are to have a bad week. lol

talking email alert i missed two early fixtures in the UCL pool again, i woke up to 3 email notifications

Today we start a new round of the Premier League so do not forget to post your picks as I saw this thread 3-4 pages away from the top.We have all the good games not today but tomorrow,we have the London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal and another strong game between Tottenham and Liverpool.

For today games I don't see any particularly good and interesting game except maybe Everton vs Leicester which both teams need a win in this game.

City were able to give rest to some of their key players in the last UCL match so they are going to have a start with rest legs. It's not like even if they were not taken rest Fulham was going to be a great challenge for them. However, it will be interesting if anyhow Fulham can steal some points from City 😂

What's interesting in Everton vs Leicester? May be for Leicester, it will be a chance for them to create some distance from the bottom part of the table.

CIty won the game against Sevilla and I watched the game,it looked to me like a training session more than a real game,that is how easy City made it look despite playing with bench players.

It is interesting as Leicester wants to move further away from the bottom but the same for Everton which needs the win as much as Leicester does and most probably this will be a good game to watch on TV,comparing Leicester pathetic defense and also Everton pathetic attack,it can generate a really good game based only on these two stats.

I can not remember what I have on the pool for this match but I would not wonder if the match finish as draw. Both team will not want to lose and may feel happy with one point each.

In the last UCL match, they did not need to give their all. They were already qualified so give opportunity to the benchers was expected.

[buwaytress]

Yeah City. Rested all their players so should smash it. Other than the City game, every other fixture looks suspiciously like draw traps. Hate picking draws though and am backing away teams for now, Leicester anyway I hope prove not goal shy.

Fulham are 22/1 so of course my money is there but even a draw will make my day.

My pool position is hopeless. Not like I am actually doing crazy predictions so hope I climb out of bottom quarter...

[tokeweed]

^  I'm just checking the scores at Flashscore and I'm seeing City is 1 - 1 vs Fulham and has commited a red card.  I think I should start watching the match now as it has become more interesting.

Anyway, what do you guys think of Liverpool to win and BTTS combo at 3.65?  Good value?  I know Liverpool has been losing lately but against clubs at somewhat their level, Klopp and his boys seem more motivated to get the W.  And I chose BTTS 'yes' because it's hard to imagine they'll get a clean sheet against Kane, Son and co.

Rain of goals in most of th matches, and really strange results and game changing today.

Leeds 4-3 against Bournemouth, was really intense, and cant believe how much goals allows the bournemouth defense , they are by far the worst defense in league.

And city was really in trouble after the expulsion of Cancelo, but they make it anyway.

The games of tonight were not so bad for most of us in the pool as the games came as predicted up until now,I find the four games outcomes correctly but not a single exact score from them so far and the top guy has 5.5 points while many others have 5 points from the 4 games so I am assuming this round is going to be a low scoring one,well not like those with 11 points max but I doubt it will be a lot of points because of tomorrow difficult games.

Only Everton I did not expect to lose at home against a disastrous defense of Leicester which has conceded so many goals,nevertheless there is still the second half to be played.

Son is injured, if I am not wrong, but BTTS should be a good option, and I also think that Liverpool is going to win tomorrow, somehow they are playing better against top teams, comparing to Fulham and Nottingham

what about Chelsea and Arsenal, I cannot see Arsenal winning tomorrow, but BTTS should be in
quality football tomorrow, looking at Newcastle as well

I wanted to play both to score on games tomorrow but I am a bit afraid after all the games in early kick off today ended with that market passing. Spurs - Liverpool should definitely have goals on both sides, I am not so sure about Chelsea and Arsenal. I could see that one being decided by one goal. It is the London derby after all and somehow I believe they would both be quite happy with a point there. Don't see either team forcing it.

[swogerino]

I must say that Everton has a great,better say huge problem when it comes to scoring goals.They created more chances than Leicester but Leicester was more pragmatic and they scored goals in their chances.This is a big problem for Lampard and most probably I think it is time to hit the sack for him as I don't see any improvement at all from Everton except sporadic games where they get some points.

Not being able to score to a team like Leicester which has the second weakest defense after Nottingham Forest I would say is a huge red flag indicating that something needs to be changed in this team.

[buwaytress]

Soft pen but KdB had every right to go to ground and was the right call. Reminds me Mane the only one who could do that at the right time. Seen Nunez try a couple of times to poor effect heh. Oh, well, Fulham.

Good value but no Son, so good for us. I will likely stick to my ML win for Liverpool. Saw today we have half the points of City and we are barely a third into the season. Hurt me a lot to see that. Conte reminded at the press conference he cost us the title last season. We cannot let him cost us Champions League this one.

@swogerino Leicester most away goals scored in league so still some value in Asian total to back up accas.

times are changing, and wishes with them, from title contender, now Liverpool is trying to reach CL, and it will be difficult with Arsenal, Tottenham, United, but also Newcastle (I would count out Chelsea from CL already)
Arsenal and Chelsea still without much fire, goalless

waiting for Newcastle, they are a good value @1.8, Southampton is playing same home/away, and bookies are valuing them more at home

I had a 1 - 1 draw but before the match starts I changed it to 1 - 2 for Arsenal. After more 40 minutes, we will know if it was a stupid idea of changing it from 1 - 1 LOL
Come on Arsenal show some fire 😂

I had them 1-1 also but did not change anything because I thought the game would end as a draw but apparently this win shows that Arsenal is playing for real to win the Premier League title this year.I did not see the statistics that the last three games Arsenal had always won in Stamford Bridge,I don't believe much in statistics but if I had seen that I would also have opted for an Arsenal win.

The other games of today Manchester United is suffering but has just come back to 2-1 after being down two goals since the beginning of the game.Newcastle is the team that always get the result at home,at least until now they are winning and I doubt this will change in the second half.

Newcastle marching towards another great victory, definitely team in the form at the moment, they are pleasure to watch. At the same time Vila destroying United 3:1 with Ronaldo trying his combat skills sparing with Villa defenders.

Arsenal with very big win today. They looked in control for most of the game and I believe this is the moment when we have to acknowledge Arsenal as legit title challengers.

I only love traditional pools so I have only joined that one for the World Cup.For this day though,the games ended in some big surprise results,Manchester United lost game against Aston Villa and now West Ham conceding the goal of the defeat in the 94th minute from a boring Crystal Palace which I think very few people would predict a victory from them in West Ham home field.

Let's hope Tottenham vs Liverpool bring us some joy and some good points because only one point for me in all the 4 games played shows that there were as I said a lot of surprise results in today games.

[buwaytress]

Phew, Spurs. Typical late rally. Every defensive player of ours save Robinson not at their best, Fabinho's been stuck in some hopeless run of poor games. But points are all that matter.

Liverpool only know how to do badly in streaks under Klopp. Backing them all the way to do another 20/21 special though! You really think Chelski are out? They need Kante back, is all, and not another Sterling/Pulisic/Havertz etc silky pretender who wilts in Prem games.

Aye, Newcastle were almost 2/1 as the match was a Super Boost special. I didn't, instead placed Toons on my acca and hedged it with a Saints small bet over 5/1 with that boost. Even without Maximin and Bruno they were special. Almiron is enjoying the time of his life, they're just probably a bit too careless with possession in their own half.

I think we will have very busy time during World Cup. Hope to see all of you across all these competitions.

Dropped these awesome comps in Clubtalk and will do it every now and then too, I think I saw a couple of names already from there, I think it's really cool to get new blood in.
