[Ulven]

Oh sick, we have a new round of games tonight already didn't even realise it until I looked at some livescores hoping to pick future dates. Villa is back on my ticket these days and I hope they continue some good run of games, but I guess it's really Leicester and Leeds we should be watching for some nail-biting desperado action, huh.

Be a brave soul that picks either to win.

I don't know if I did well or not but 4.5 points out of three games I think is a good outcome.I got an exact score in Leicester game and a close score in Aston Villa game.I knew about Crystal Palace not being able to win but I didn't think they would lose against Wolves and I had a 1-1 in predictor also as I expected some draws tonight.Nevertheless most of the results from these 3 games came as predicted,the only surprise result for me is Crystal Palace losing their game.

I have not been a brave soul  as I did not pick either team from Leeds game to win because as you say when two desperado teams are playing against each other,draw is the most logical result in such encounters.

You got good points compared to me, I only managed to get one point in this round. This always happens to me, I can't maintain a balance in making accurate and close predictions as the end of the season approaches.

Tomorrow we have a crucial match between Arsenal and City, a real test for both clubs. Arsenal has lost a lot of points in the last three matches, while City has managed to get closer to the top. It's clear that City is seeking to win the title, but we don't know how Arsenal will react. Will they really try to destroy City's hopes as well?

I have to agree with the bookies this time and the odd of 1.54 for City against Arsenal is low I know but most likely they are going to win.I don't know where Arsenal can find the power to play good football after screwing up 3 consecutive games while they were leading in 2 of them,only with Southampton they were down early in the first half,most likely they have no power left.

I think the most interesting game though for me at least is Chelsea vs Brentford.I think it is finally time for Chelsea to win a game after so long without winning a game,the odd of them to win is good enough and my bet is on them tonight to win this game.

odds for City win are low, and not interesting at all
I would go with Arsenal tonight, they have to show up at some point, especially on defense side, conceiving seven goals in three matches is too much for title fight, and somehow I see that they have enough in them to reverse that angle, while scoring was never an issue for them

on the bright side, Leeds and Leicester played a draw, so Everton could skip them with a win over Newcastle, that is in great shape

[darxiaomi]

Asides of today big match, yesterday i was thingking about Aston Villa, and i reminded when they play against Chelsea a few rounds back, and they were the same position and ammount of points, and look now Aston Villa fighting for european spots and Chelsea.....

So AV with a much minor team can make a shift but Chelsea no.

[Woodie]

Hope you didn't not go with an Arsenal win here....

City already leading thanks to a beautiful Kevin De Bruyne shot and his looking dangerous everytime he has the ball, and I see Arsenal coming out without a goal tonight because of the enormous pressure  coming from the noisy neighbors.

Inplay prediction: Manchester City 3-0 Arsenal

City is destroying Arsenal so far, I don't know how it isn't already 3:0. Maybe this is a chance for Arsenal, football is often cruel to teams that miss that many chances.

What to say about Chelsea, I don't think Lampard has any idea about the way he wants to play or what players to use. So many rotations every game and squad looks quite poor despite spending ridiculous amounts of money in last transfer window.

Thanks Sportsbet.io for the free bet from the yellow cap. I thought to use it and placed these bets.



I thought I will have some exciting minutes but just after placing the Multi Nottingham scored LOL

Now the hope is on the single bet. Let's hope Liverpool wins. Hard call though.

The risk I was taking in the City match seems gone in vain LOL

I also have my inplay, I think there may be... surprise (!?)... not, it doesn't matter, Arsenal mode all or nothing.  

[CLS63]

I wouldn't exaggerate if I say that Saliba's absence has cost Arsenal's championship. I wish Arteta had White in the centre-back position instead of Holding. I think that Arsenal wouldn't have had this much problem in defense. Despite everything it is going to be beautiful to see Arsenal in the Champions League after long years.

Good to have at least one win. I can decide if I want to withdraw it or continue then lose all LOL

No more points today for me. From four matches I was able to collect only 1.5 points. Overall a bad round. Wanted to have some experience but it did not work. I am sure I will be now kicked out from TOP 20 🤣

[buwaytress]

Ah well, 5 titles in 6 seasons it will be then for Citeh. Didn't watch that game, didn't want to jinx it, was just getting out of a nervy Liverpool win and seeing Brighton actually lose -- did their semifinal loss knock all the wind out of them? Who would have thought...

And Chelsea, wow. A whole 3 points to me in the pool for picking good old Lamps to lead his team to uncharted territory haha.

[CLS63]

Haaland's scoring a goal in the last minute must have made most people sad who made a 3-1 score prediction. Besides I picked 3-1 as a score prediction in a small betslip. In the last rounds my luck started to reverse. And I can find myself out of top 10 all of a sudden while fighting for top 4. This is very horrifying. 

[cryptofrka]

Well, City is just too good. Shame, I was rooting for this Arsenal team - but they're just not ready yet. They probably won't get such a big chance anytime soon.

Today it was all one-sided but this is not the game that will cost them the title. They had 3 draws in a row before this one, and in 2 of them they wasted 2-0 leads.

That Halaand goal hurt a lot. I was too close to collecting two exact points today, one from Liverpool and one from this City game, but Halaaand ruined the party as usual, haha. It wasn't a bad night after all, I collected 6 points, 1 exact, 3 close points, retained 13th place, 4 points off top 10, another good night tomorrow and I'll be on 300.

Chelsea huh? I said somewhere on this thread that Lampard will not get a single point from the remaining games until he is fired, I don't know how he was able to get a FIFA and UEFA Pro coach badge when he is the worst manager I've ever seen, he is on the same page as Garry Nevelle and Paul Scholes, if I were him, I would quit coaching and join Skysport as a pundit.


Why is it that good players are always the worst managers? Gary Nevelle, Lampard, Gerrard, Henry, Pirlo.............. tempted to add Zidane

[darxiaomi]

Chelsea, like we say here, "he throws himself to the floor and misses" ( i dont know if good translate). so they are officialy out of europe, lets see how much player are free to goes to another teams.

The most dissapointment game in all this round its Brighton, they lost a big chance to keep cutting the gap and still having games in their pocket to dream with more bigger european competition, the only good was the goal of Facundo Buonanotte.

[DireWolfM14]

The winner(s) of the Round 29 Yellow Cap will also win:
Choice of Arsenal or Southampton Shirt AND Hoodie + Hat combo

Big Thanks to @jeremypwr and @Steve!  I feel like I might have chosen only one jersey, but got both anyway, lol.  Thanks again, they are perfect and fit great.  Okay, okay, they'll fit great as soon as I lose 10 pounds.

What a f*cking joke Chelsea has become.I placed a fun bet on Nottingham draw or win,Brentford to win,Liverpool to win and Manchester City to win,the odds were big enough but I thought this to not come true so I only placed like 0.001 Litecoin to that bet and now I regret not putting at least 100 times more the amount.I don't know how many weeks are left but I doubt I will be below 22th position in the end of the pool,so far we are fighting hard from 12th place to 6th place with very little amount of points between us.

Manchester is already Champion now of the Premier League as they have one game less or two which make it impossible for Arsenal and the only one to blame is Arsenal itself,it had everything under control and they got and screw it up game after game.

[ILuckyGuyI]

This week has just been a fiasco for me so far. It looks like I used up all my luck last week.    I have been able to collect only 2.5 points in 7 games and hopefully I can make up for it a little by today's games.

I wish I didn't pick a 2-1 Chelsea win this time. Something got into me and thought like Chelsea would finish their terrible streak in the league by this one. But I should have gone with a Brentford win again instead just as I did in Chelsea's game against Brighton before. By the way, Brighton also surprised me as I was really expecting a win from them. Because they technically had a chance to leave Tottenham behind to get a Champions League groups ticket. Nottingham had many missing players but still won the game by a score like this.

I was
but it is not about money lost, Arsenal really lost their chance to get championship title, believed that they will have it in them to make it interesting, but they obviously don't have it, and title is going to Manchester, one more season in a row

but overall, Brighton hurt more, since they let Forest take three points, and push us deeper into relegation zone, win over Newcastle is now a must, and it is as hard as it gets to win this one

Yeah...  Arsenal's performance is declining at the most crucial part of the season while City is getting better.  I hope it translates to the Champions League as they're going against their old nemesis Real Madrid.  Lolol.  If anybody has been like me in missing a lot of football for the last couple of years, Real vs City UCL semi finals should not be missed.  This could be Guardiola's last crack at the title with City.  Don't think City will go this deep in the next couple of years.

Sigh, so I guess that's the EPL season then?  I think don't Arsenal could back after the loss vs City.
