I would rate this week another good one so far as I climbed another position but now at the top 20 it is where it becomes very difficult to surpass positions.I missed Tottenham in this week predictions and together with it Leicester who could not even win against the last place in the standings as Southampton,which in turn is coming from a good recent form having beaten Chelsea and now Leicester,these are promising signals for the Saints.

I missed a lot of correct scores just for one goal,needed a goal in Chelsea and a goal from Newcastle.

Brighton also looking very good and they are going even far in the FA cup in the 1/8 finals there which shows they have some capability.

Liverpool vs Man Utd today, I am not looking forward to this game at all. It’s going to be tough but we need to get a win somehow. All the teams fighting to get 4th place & CL qualification above us are faltering. Spurs & Newcastle keep dropping points. If we can somehow pull off a win we will be looking really good to steal 4th maybe.

It’s a far cry from where we once were but salvaging a CL spot from this awful season by LFC would be great.
I’m hoping we raise our game and really make it difficult for them.

[buwaytress]

Am I allowed to congratulate myself? After getting yellow cap, I knew it'd be too much to ask for another one but two fantastic exact scores yesterday and I'm finally, for the first time, out of the bottom and into... 49th spot! Haha. Yes I know there are 2 games left but...

I was considering not to risk another week of picks, but if Saint-loup and leea are still in good positions and can pick good scores in a tight week, I have to continue like this, no?

Liverpool beating United today would be an awesome end to the week for me, and probably the most I'm looking forward to in a long time! I do feel good about this game, but yes, we have a tough schedule coming so winning this is the only way to start it right. Why the bookies put us as favourite (slight) is hard to understand, though.

Newcastle! Did they have to go behind so soon?

If they win they will be 2 points behind Arsenal and all the pressure will be on Arsenal,who luckily have a very easy game against Bournemouth this afternoon.

And easy game it did not turn out to be. Arsenal are close becoming a candidate for live betting now, actually. As soon as they go a goal down, pour the money on. They seem really good at it now.

If so, does Todd Boehley know about it? I've always admired Bobby, and he would play a perfect false nine better than Kai Hevezt, so why haven't we linked with him yet?

If he does go, he'd actually be a quality addition to Chelsea, for sure. I know he hasn't been at his best recently, but I watch him in training and when he does come on for increasingly rare cameos, he's still the same intelligent guy I know, full of flicks and power -- something I still feel is lacking in Chelsea despite all that talent.

Hate to say it but yeah, if he moves and it's Chelsea, I think he'll be really happy there.

wait- What the heck is this, are you guys using AI? It's been extremely competitive the previous few weeks, and I'm loving it. I got 8 points yesterday but still slipped one spot. Keep up, you might win the competition Buwatress. 49th place is an excellent result, buddy.

Todd Boehly and Harry Potter would rather spend 100 euros on a player without EPL experience while Bobby is twerking! My mental health is being messed with by these individuals.

Who wouldn't want to be a part of Chelsea? Bobby is willing to take a pay reduction in order to relocate to London and don the renowned Blue.
What are your thoughts on LIV-MUN game? Yes you.

[hilariousandco]

Liverpool v Man U is just about to kick off which should be interesting. I've gone for 2-2 and the scores seem to be pretty evenly distributed for all outcomes:

19 Liverpool wins
14 draws
17 Man U wins

11 unpicked.

Watching Arsenal lord over Bournemouth and I can't believe they are not already in the lead. To make it worse, Bournemouth players are playing handball in their box and still no penalty for Arsenal. Granted there were a couple of them that were accidental but at least this last one on the goal line should have been a penalty.

Arsenal deserve three points here and I really hope they will get it. Still about 10 minutes to go.

Had two winners yesterday from some of the free bets from Sportsbet. Only won them with that last minute winner in the Arsenal game:





Not big wins as I picked the favourites but my freebets were about to expire haha.

[Igebotz]

I've never been successful with free bets since I'm always too greedy with my odds and always aim for the 500 odds. Nice one.

I apologize to Liverpool fans for thinking Darwin was Werner 2.0. I've been deceived. There is no way to tell, but Darwin is better than Messi and Ronaldo put together in their prime. At this time he deserves the Ballon d'or 

WHAT. A. GAME!

[Welsh]

Right, if any one of you successfully predicted 7-0 I want you to give me the lottery numbers, please. What about that lads, biggest margin we've ever beat Man Utd, while they're on their run. Everyone wrote us off, and we just absolutely destroyed them. A lot of their players shouldn't have even been on the pitch, I thought the ref was hiding from some of the drama that occurred. Luke Shaw, kneeing a player on the floor shouldn't be allowed. That wouldn't be allowed in UFC, let alone football.

Like I said, the signs have been there, and I think a lot of people forgot that we've had a ton of injury problems for a long time now. They're all coming back. I was expecting a good performance, obviously I wasn't expecting what I've just witnessed. I haven't enjoyed football as much as today for probably over a year.

Anyone have the pre match odds on a 7-0 win for Liverpool? Got to be something like 250 to 1, right?

[swogerino]

Not big wins as I picked the favourites but my freebets were about to expire haha.

Those are enough to give you a nice session of playing slots,if you are into those things but if you are not better not try them as they are extremely highly addictive.

What an amazing freaking Liverpool tonight,7-0 is the most humiliating defeat they have inflicted on Manchester United and I thought the game would probably be a draw because both teams have been playing well recently,boy how wrong I was  .

This week pool results so far came good for most of the people as most of the games came as predicted,the fact that games are shrinking in number makes this pool even more interesting than what it already is.

I usually only like to put bets on if the odds are good so I tend to waste my freebets on more risky stuff but they do come in occasionally. With these I was just hoping to turn the freebets into something useable since they were going to expire anyway.

I only bet on sports. Don't bet that much these days either. Kinda got bored of it.

Yeah, wasn't expecting that result. Liverpool have been far too flaky and Man U seem to have turned their tables around.

[darxiaomi]

Well.... again dissapointed with all of ours, nobody pick a 7-0 to Liverpool, how nobody see this coming?.  .

I see only the second half because i was viewing the F1 and man... what the hell was that second time, everytime Liverpool goes to the attack was nearly to goal, the Man Utd defense was nearby to 0 a disaster.

I said a few rounds ago, Liverpools wake up, but im not expecting this. I can see some Totenham fans really fearfull, they see his rear mirror and see the Kloop teeths.

The thing is; I actually thought we were the better team in the first half, but it was genuinely quite competitive. Man Utd looking for the counter attack, and we had most of the ball. That goal before first half was crucial to carrying the momentum over to the second half.

We've got a game in hand over Spurs too, and there's been signs for the last few games that we're finally clicking as a team. The defense is probably our weakest point still,  but it was much better today. The high line which has been failing for a while, was actually executed perfectly today.

Congratulations on your win! But including a Chelsea win in the multibet was really extreme 

Regarding Liverpool - United, I can say that the result is of course amazing, but in general, United collapsed several times this season, and Liverpool had major victories, for example, over Bournemouth 9 - 0. Therefore, I will consider that this is just a random and not an indicator that Liverpool came out of the crisis, and United again returned to it.

Last season when we beat them 5-0 (away) I picked 4-0 ... this time I only went 3-0 and we blasted them out of the water. Remember our jibes just one, two days ago? About wiping the floor with United etc.

I could scarcely believe what I was watching. When Salah scored and took his customary yellow for shirt off, I actually cheered (I usually think it's just idiotic to get that yellow every season now heh).

The ref was praying for time wasting, indeed. He saved so many yellows, possible reds. What a night, and Klopp said it perfectly, I paraphrase: People forgot we are here and what we are, we needed to remind them. We're still here!

Odds on Liverpool correct score? Unfortunately SB only gives 100/1 for scores beyond their pick, max is 5:0?

Other notes: I love Robbo and how he winds up our biggest rivals. That guy deserves a Kop medal. Bobby's goal was celebrated as it should be. I miss him so badly already. Also, United GD is 6 now =)

I said a few rounds ago, Liverpools wake up, but im not expecting this. I can see some Totenham fans really fearfull, they see his rear mirror and see the Kloop teeths.

I need to fire up my 3-0, 4-0 picks again... but I'm wary of false dawns... as KTChampions points out, we did win 9-0 this season, and we meet Bournemouth next. So let's just focus on doing Saints a favour and help keep Bournemouth rooted...

[cryptofrka]

What the hell happened tonight??

We waited a whole year for a great performance and I'm really thrilled it came in the derby. It is good to see Nunez finally looking like a 50 mil player, and Gakpo will be huge for us next year when he completes a full preseason with the team.

We have Newcastle and Spurs to thank that we're still in the race for top 4, and it is looking achievable once again. I just pray we won't throw it all away against a horrible Bournemouth side next week.

That first assist for Gakpo was a thing of beauty, he even yelled at Gakpo and showed him how he needs to make the run

I wouldn't guess this result even if you give me 10 picks. I just needed x2 on United, couldn't have been farther from actual result. I watched just first half and it did not look like the game will go this way. If this win does not revitalize Liverpool season, nothing will. 5 games in the league with clean sheet in a row, seems like things are suddenly working for Liverpool again.

More than that.

I can hear, Klopp in the changing room, shouting "WE MADE 6 GOALS IN ONE HALF, WE CAN COMEBACK IN MADRID, LETS MAKE HISTORY AGAIN BOYS"

At the same time, he goggles his eyes and grinds his teeth  I see this picture perfectly too, but in fact, after 2-0 turned into 2-5, it seems to me that Klopp, if he will psychologically put pressure on the players, is only before the game itself. If you do it now, they will simply burn out before they enter the field. And I think everyone understands the difference between United and Real Madrid.

[Welsh]

Remember our jibes just one, two days ago? About wiping the floor with United etc.

Right, although I have a funny feeling we'd actually beat them, the wiping the floor comment from me was definitely a joke, but maybe I need to make these jokes more often . Honestly, I've lost interest with football this season, for a lot of reasons, but of course Liverpool not playing all that well, has definitely impacted it. Although, I've watched them when they were much worse than this, so definitely not the only reason. However, today was one of those games I'll always remember, and will likely be talking about it for years to come.

I haven't enjoyed a football game like that for quite some time. It makes me a whole lot more hopeful for next top four also, everything seems to be clicking just in time. We're a serious threat to Spurs now, and honestly I think if everything goes right from now on, i.e we keep everyone fit we can challenge for that third spot. As long as we secure a European spot, preferably the Champions League I'd be happy considering the season we've had up to this point.

Am I allowed to congratulate myself? After getting yellow cap, I knew it'd be too much to ask for another one but two fantastic exact scores yesterday and I'm finally, for the first time, out of the bottom and into... 49th spot! Haha. Yes I know there are 2 games left but...

Wait! From 61st to 49th? That's a great achievement 🤣 Congratulations!


Is there any formula to get exact scores? LOL
I am still fighting hard with myself. I was 12th. In the round, from first 5 matches I got correct result but none with exact score then last 4 matches with no points, how funny! I tossed a coin for Brentford vs Fullham LOL

P.S: So I had 0 - 2 for Utd. When Liverpool scored their 2nd I was like fuck it. Let us win and the 7 goals! It seems like a warning for the next CL match 😉

Yeah I always feel like Klopp sets the tone for an entire game. I don't think he does things during the half-time break as well as he does in the build up. I want Bobby to shine, to burn bright and majestic on his Liverpool swansong. I want Salah to exorcise his Real demons. I want it all.

Do I recall correctly cryptofrka is headed there?

Yeah. When it comes down to it, it's just the memory lane walk for me. Alaves and Houllier, even though I couldn't watch it live. Istanbul (live and for many days after following as much as possible while internet was still brand newish). Even Rodgers gave a couple of things that stayed with me for a long time (Suarez dive celebration in front of Moyes burns bright).

But it's with Klopp I have the most and the best. And it seems to come even in our worst of times. Our worst season yet and already 9-0 and 7-0 victories? Salah said it best when journo asked about his favourite goal: "The last one".

Oh and please joke about wiping Madrid with Real...
