With Conte going to Madrid, I wouldn't be so sure. Hazard never really seemed to like Conte's style of play, and they didn't exactly have the best relationship. It is undeniable that Hazard is playing better under Sarri. Having said that, Hazard has obviously made no secret of his desire to play for Real. He'll go eventually for sure, but I don't think it will be til next summer.

^  Conte is not going to Real imo.  It's gonna be Mou.  We can argue all day or we can settle this like real men...  A friendly 10 USD bet.  Lololol. 

You got Conte, I got Mou.  If it's some other manager the bet is void.  Go?

^  Too bad he's going to Real next season once Mou takes over. 

Kidding...  Kinda.  Lol.  Just got a weird feeling Mou is eyeing the Real job which is gonna be available at the end of the season.  And he'll make it his mission to sign Hazard.  That would be something.

Real is buying Hazard this winter, they can't wait until summer. Of course that is just a feeling not confirmed, but I am quite sure Real is buying at least one "big name" striker in this upcoming winter transfer window. If not Hazard than maybe Kane or Neymar.

If Hazard goes to Real this Jan., I think Mou is going too.  Just a hunch.

You guys know that Solari is new manager of Real? He may not be long standing solution but I think he will for sure be in charge over winter transfer window. And they must buy at least one big name during that period.

Following is just speculation from various press releases.
Conte was very close but didn't get the job because of something Hazard said to the press like "I don't see myself working with Conte". Than Courtois said something similar as well. Then Ramos said something like "Real needs a coach who will be a friend to the players like Zidane, and not somebody who will try to get respect trough strict discipline like Conte". Perez listened and gave the job to Solari. That was not actual citations from those players but my memory from reading it on portals.

@tokeweed sorry if I ruined your chances for easy 10 $ or void bet I actually give Conte 0% chances and very little to Mourinho maybe 10%

[tokeweed]

^  I'm aware of Solari.  I meant if Hazard is acquired by Real this Jan., then Mou could follow next summer before the season starts.

And heh, no problem.  It's just a bet I like throwing around the forum for fun.

Still a load of guys in our pool not put their predictions in yet. Hurry up boys, Saturday will be here very soon. I’ve done all mine for this weekend & locked them so feel free to spy on what I’ve put

Still waiting to hear if I’ll have 2 tickets for Liverpool vs Fulham on Sunday. I wasn’t able to get tickets for this game myself in the summer so got a quote off a ticket tout I met from online years ago who sorts me out when I haven’t got tickets from the official club route. Not happy with the price he gave me yesterday so waiting to see if he can do any better.

If not I’ll just watch on BT Sport, fuck it.

[o_e_l_e_o]

Been crazy busy at work this week, I'll get my predictions in this evening (and get back to reporting shitposters ).

UnfortunatelyI will be catching up on tons of life admin this weekend due to work being so busy so won't be able to watch any of the games. Most of the matches will be pretty one sided though by the looks of things, so I probably won't miss much. I doubt the Manchester derby will be that exciting either. Fully expect United to get wrecked despite their very lucky win against Juventus earlier this week.

I'm terrible at it. Not the predicting, but the actual putting in it thing....haha. I was away for 3 weeks, and I remembered to do it a few times, but other things just got in the way, and I ended up forgetting about it. Without a doubt I don't have a chance now, but I'll do keep doing it for my own entertainment.

I mean I was just giving you guys a chance. You can look out now!

[BitcoinSupremo]

Damn Cardiff 90 minute late goal ,removed me a correct score result. I have lost many positions during the last two weeks and this one doesn't look good for me either, as they say , the sun can be seen since early morning

Probably not many worth watching this week other than the Manchester derby. There's the German "El Clasico" on later (or should I say der Klassiker haha) with Borussia Dortmund V Bayern München which I'll probably be watching. Dortmund are on fire at the moment so should be an interesting game.

Just put as many scores in as you can when you've got a chance. You could put the entire season in now if you wanted which is one thing I like about the Superbru website so there's no excuses for missing rounds. You can always change them at a later date as well as long as you don't lock them so you might as well put something in rather than letting it go to waste. I see there's six people who didn't play this week and you can still win your money back for getting a yellow cap so there's still something to play for. There's another international break now though  .

That late goal screwed eight of us out of a correct score.

Terrible, terrible day of predictions for me today. I’ve got 3 points for an exact score and nothing else. Think my lead will be cut to 0.5 points.

Yep, that is how it is looking on my end as well. If Tottenham stays the same it will be my first 1.5 points this week.

I thought that I will get wooden spoon in this round, but it seems that it will be close fight for it
4 more games tomorrow and it looks more predictable, chance to get few more points...

Same here. Best result for me was the Spurs win which got me 1.5 pts, still, this could be my worst weekend (I'm out of the top 5 D:  ). I kinda knew I was gonna have a bad day in the pool when freaking Cardiff scored a late goal to make it 2-1 (I predicted 1-1).

Hopefully, Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool, and Arsenal, win their respective games tomorrow since I predicted a win for them (please, EPL gods, I don't want any upsets).

In before Chelsea & Liverpool draw, City lose to United. Not impossible, not unheard of. Haha.

Well, I'm hoping that Liverpool got the kick up the arse that they needed against Red Star. Just like when Dejan got rinsed against Tottenham they seemed to kick start their season. I'm hoping that's the case, but honestly they've just been grinding out results, and I don't see them clicking all of a sudden. I think seeing Man City in such good form is a little demoralizing for the guys too.

Yeah I’m still pissed off about that Red Star shit show. I’ve had a lie in today, just about to get out of bed which feels glorious I must say.

Gonna cook myself a full English breakfast & sit down to watch Liverpool vs Fulham with a bog fat joint.

Not a bad life is it!

Prediction - Liverpool 3-0 Fulham

[buwaytress]

OK, I'm as Red as it comes but the scoreline was still kind to Fulham. Yes, if we had VAR, the goal would probably have been given to Fulham but at 1-1, we would still have cut them to shreds, if not for our forwards still somehow unable to get themselves out of 2nd gear. I'm sticking to my guns though. We're playing at perhaps 60-70% of last season's sharpness and intensity, and this is now our best ever total after 12 games in the Premier League era, so I am not the least bit worried.

@LFC: Enjoy your day in. Don't worry about it, always a bad week for every player, you're still top I think? But I can't seem to view Leaderboard anymore because it keeps just showing me weekly results instead of the usual total score for everyone. And there's like a new system for scoring in place? Like no more Correct/Close/Exact, now you get bonus points if you got the closes prediction of the pool? Anyone else got that screen?

@Welsh. Trust me, with 26 weeks to go, there's plenty of reason to keep playing. I've got 2 wooden spoons and >30 points off the pace for a prize spot but I've now seen people climb 8 places in a week, and others drop the same. Plus remember... we've got those lovely bonus prizes to play for!

Think I’m back on top as I got City 3-1 United right. BitSat went top before that though. It’s very, very close at the top of our pool.

As for the Liverpool game I thought we were comfortable especially in the 2nd half. Fulham showed nothing in the 2nd half & it was a matter of damage limitation.

City are looking very, very good. We’re in 2nd & only 2 points behind but I don’t see how we can win this title really. We can beat City in one off games as we showed last season but it seems all the other teams pull down their pants for City & bend over. City are a winning machine & they won’t drop many points.

We will!
