The Rodgers factor is a strange one haha. He wants people to know how good he is and he will probably make a second documentary of he somehow beats City at their own den tomorrow.

@hilarious thanks for the yellow cap update. One last week for that to change next week. Pretty amazing Mosala got 26 points, same as real life Mo sitting pretty at the Golden Boot table.

And yes, as much as I hope, if City win tomorrow, it's all over.

Meanwhile, looking forward to Chelsea losing to Troy Deeney.

Well they are 2:0 up so I am hoping at least for a goal from Deeney. I played both to score @2.0 which seemed like a gift at that time. Can't watch that match since my provider is showing Man U but from 1.st half statistics it looks like Watford had their chances.

By the way, Man Utd just conceded from their own corner 

[buwaytress]

@Trofo I didn't watch any of the matches yesterday but judging from the stats on my Livescores app, United and Arsenal contrived to see who could miss out Champions League in the most appalling fashion. United probably takes the cake for that, apparently several open goals missed... but I am reminded that Liverpool were also non-clinical at Nou Camp so I guess every team has its blips. Some teams have chronic blips!

Spurs tottered, but managed to cling on. Chelsea even with Sarri disaster, also in for CL. Have to say it's the right destiny. Arsenal and United would just be fodder in CL on their current form.

Anyone else with me for a continued Vardy/Leicester renaissance at Etihad tonight? Was 20/1, now 17/1 at Fairlay. They did it once already this season;)

Weeell, maybe for beer money but I will skip. City looks too damn good.

For high stake ticket I went for both to score @1.8. It seems like a good odds to me since Leicster and especially Vardy like to score goals when playing against top teams.

Fully expecting City to win tonight but to console my misery as an LFC fan & the unravelling of our season I’m trying my best to win a cool 0.1BTC in our Cloudbet pool. It’s still so close at the top with only 11 matches to go (including Man City vs Leicester tonight).

[Trofo]

Fun fact (not  so fun for LFC supporters): If Man City wins the league Leicester will receive another 5 million pounds for Mahrez transfer. Which means if Leicester takes some points tonight they will effectively burn 5 million pounds. Conflict of interest?

[LTU_btc]

After City win against Leicester, I think we already know the champion. City will play against Brighton in last round and I just can't see them bottling against this team. LFC will play against Wolves which is trong opponent, but they are fighting for nothing already.
I just feel sorry for LFC fans, you've been so close both in UCL and EPL, but probably they will end another season without trophies. On paper everything is still possible in both tournaments but I don't see how it can happen.

Yep. I think this is it. Of course, inside me, and inside every Red, we want to fight on till the last. We have one final home game at Anfield, and one final Anfield European night. All in the space of 6 days. So let us give everything to our fans, even if we have to still taste defeat, let it be a beautiful failure, as Klopp says.

I'm putting half of my fairlay balance tonight on Liverpool to Qualify for the final and half for them to win the league. It's not much left, but if I win just one, I delay my deposits a couple of weeks;)

Fat lady ain't singing yet, boys!

Hah!  Didn't turn out that way tho. 

Anyway big matches for us both this weekend.  It's gonna decide who wins the super mega prize of 30 bucks.  Lol.

I have already written that off as a loss. Now I am hoping for last minute suprise.

[BitcoinSupremo]

It was a nice experience as always competing against the best players in EPL during this year , while in theory I have a chance to finish fifth, in reality it is just impossible. I give up, I just play this last 10 games for fun, I still have 1 slim chance to finish 5th at least in CL pool.

[o_e_l_e_o]

Well guys, it's been a pleasure playing with you all. Short of a Liverpool style 4-poing-swing-comeback, looks like LFC will win, and deservedly so. Will give him some nice spending money for his trip to the Champions League final.

[hilariousetc]

Looks like the top four are all guaranteed a winning place now regardless of the results today, but fifth place is still all to play for. There's only six points between tenth and fourth place so anyone of them could grab it still. If anyone is out of the top five race you could still grab a consolation prize for a high scoring round but you'll need to beat 19.5 points or more to be in with a chance of winning so don't give up just yet  (though I have  ).

I'm really hoping City go a goal down early or it's something like 0-0 at half time so it makes it a bit more exciting and gives Liverpool the shot. In reality I think City have an easier time today and will probably comfortably win against Brighton but I'm expecting both to win. Will Ageuro get another last minute goal that wins them the title? I hope not.

Indeed well done to him. Funnily for me,,, I thought I did quite well as this was my first time putting my predictions to the test, but in the end I think I realize now I was playing with very experienced people here in this pool,,, and I realize the guys I bet with in real life actually know nothing about english football!

It was great for me, I enjoyed it, I want to see you all again next season. Well done in advance LFC! And others we will soon find out after 6 hours the final places.

Winning both the EPL and the CL would really reeeaallyy say a lot about Klopp as a manager.  And if he does win both, give that man triple his salary and give him a 5 year extension with the option to extend more.  Keep him for as long as they can.  The EPL will only be better for it.

[LTU_btc]

What I can say, it's incredible that 97 points isn't enough to win EPL trophy. I hardly can remember something similar in top football leagues.
Congrats to LFC_Bitcoin for winning this pool and panjul, oeleo, BitSat and Mattle40 for reaching top 5.
My 12th place is somewhat what I expected before season, because I'm not following EPL so closely as some other guys there. Actually, I gave up in the middle of season, because I saw that there is no chances to reach top 5 for me, so I started leaving predictions without thinking much about it.
Thank you hilariousandco for making this pool and Cloudbet for supporting it. It was really fun experience. Hope to see you guys next season.

[buwaytress]

@LTU it definitely was a great season and no I don't think there was another quite like this. The way 1st place changed hands just way too many times to remember. I trace it back to the loss at Etihad I wasn't even able to watch... We should have come away 2-2.

What a season though eh LFC? I always thought already it was going to be a great season. So many heroics, 2 joint top scorers and the most clean sheets but ultimately more heartbreak. But I'm really pleased we still have something to fight for end of season...

Thanks hilarious for a second great pool. Congrats to all the winners, especially my man LFC who will have a really nice gift to take to Madrid in 3 weeks!

[Trofo]

Congrats to all the winners and hope I will see you all again next year. This season was exepctional and our pool was a great addition to make us a little bit more invested in the games.

You are missing someone, we have 3 joint top scores: Mane, Salah and Auba   Aguero almost made it as well. I wanted a penalty for the Liverpool at the end of the game just to see who would take it.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Thanks for the kind words regarding winning the pool. I cane 3rd last season & then 2nd in the World Cup one so feels good to win this one
It’s been such a competitive pool, special mention to panjul & oeleo who fucking pushed me all the way. I’m sure everybody will be hack stronger next season when we do it again.

I’m a bit deflated about LFC not winning the title but we can’t do much more than get 97 points, we only lost 1 game. Congrats to Man City.

We must go to Madrid & win the CL. I think it’s our destiny.

[o_e_l_e_o]

I really threw it away in the last few weeks. Went from in front of you at one point to 7 points behind. I made a few less "safe" predictions to try to edge in front, and it didn't pay off, haha. Congrats buddy.

Big thanks as well to hilarious for running!
