Looking good so far for me, I don't even really remember my Superbru picks but Palace are in front after only 1 shot on goal. Lovely, lovely, just hope City continue to get frustrated and Zaha and co hit back for even more. It's been a long while since any City match had the underdog at over 25/1 so I'd love for this to catch!

@Trofo/LTU

The complaint I read about was for next year. But actually whichever season they choose (2019 was a trial btw, AFCON has always been played in winter so Klopp will remember losing players before already every "winter" in Africa). Personally, I think all the players prefer cooler climates for the comp as summer is too frigging hot to play. So basically, we return to winter AFCON.

We will lose them for sure anyway for qualifiers, like we did already back in November... no matter when they play the main tourney.

Yak!
1 correct score out of 7 match so far. Can I call it the worse round for me so far?

Don't sweat it man! I've got 0 points from 7 games, I'm definitely inline for the wooden spoon this round.

I've gone for a lot of draws this so I'm not that confident about this round. Hopefully I can pick up some points on the home wins I've gone for.

5 draws from the first 7 games, how many have you got ? HilariousandClairvoyant.

I went with Tottenham, but looks Deeney blew the chance to make it a 3 points for you. We're into stoppage time already and I don't see any late drama happening here.

Yeah it was unfortunate and the shot was not that good too. Deeney could do better. By the way, Tottenham was unfortunate too. They missed a goal by inches [unbelievable].

By the way, I had a bet for Tottenham too and lost it LOL

I'll take the side bet 2 mBTC, Liverpool are not going unscathed this Season...

Great!


Pool: How will Livepool finish their season (2019/2020)?
1. At-least one defeat
2. Undefeated

BitcoinGirl.Club - Undefeated [2mBTC]
Harkorede  - At least one defeat [2mBTC]

Can we have some more players?

Draw will count as defeat or nothing because I am feeling they will be undefeated but held for any match so please clear about this.

Draw is not defeat of course. The defeat only will count once they will lose a match and we get our pull result with that or we wait until the last match Liverpool will have.

Tottenham, Arsenal, and Man City drew their games, and now Chelsea lost to a late goal..What the hell is this Matchweek and why do i like it so much?     
Chelsea are SO BAD on the defence...1 clean sheet in the last 12 away games! Abysmal. At this point (Matchweek 23) there's no such things "no worries, they can improve", pfff, time to buy a couple of players.

About our pool, this must be one of the few rounds where only one user managed to get two digits after Saturday's games.

@buwaytress  Congrats on that single bet win today thanks to Hayden's late goal

Today in 23 rounds first time I am going with 7 Reds and 1 Green feeling very strange as I was not expecting results like this but still positive for rest of season.

@GaryLinekar
The Palace have announced Meghan & Harry have renounced their titles. Meanwhile Palace have announced Man City have renounced theirs.

@toma: thanks! I added a couple of other upsets too but bloody hell Aguero, otherwise I'd have had almost 40x my bets in total! But still, very good night thanks to Hayden yeah! And Zaha still made City OG too, so I'm full of schadenfreude;)

@LFC: Lineker's right. Was Pep's birthday too, apparently haha!

True we have one of the worst defence currently but lets talk about the piece of shit we kept at the goal post in the name of Kepa (world costliest keeper) yet he has underperformed and hasn't impress anyone especially when we need him the most. If the defenders fuck up can't the keeper save the day? The one time we needed his service in the game yesterday, he was no where to be found.

Opinion on the Liverpool vs Manchester United game. Although united have been a tougher team when playing against the big boys, I don't think they'll be able to replicate similar success against Liverpool especially at home. Arsenal exposed their weakness as they couldn't restand the intensity of arsenal pressing (attacking) which is something Liverpool is known for.

Predictions 3:1 in favor of Liverpool. 

[big_daddy]

Hmm, seems that it was worth to set some risky picks  I’m currently 5th placed in this round
And will not change my predictions for today, I have a 3-1 on Liverpool and 0-2 for Leicester

Good luck to all 

[Mbitr]

Doh , very bad round for me 1.5 pts  so far . No draws today please or any upsets .
Need some exacts today , to gain any dignity  
Congrats to hahay , you know your onions !

Well unfortunately only two were draws out of the ones I picked. A fairly late goal in the Arsenal game costs me my perfect score and nobody got the result right on the City draw. I was one goal away from getting the result on the Southampton/Wolves draw as well. Would have got points on the Norwich game on the draw if it wasn't for the penalty that was given for the blatant defender hand ball. Did anyone see that? It was quite en epic save: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-qrmXXLr-c

At least they've found their reserve goalkeeper now  .

Also went for 1-1 on the Newcastle game and narrowly missed out on that with the surprise 1-0 win. Wasn't expecting that. Gone for another draw today in the Leicester game. Leicester should win, but I'm not so sure after last weeks loss so hence the draw. As for the Liverpool/United match I'll wait for the line-ups before I commit. I'll be watching that game for sure.

Hah nice!  My 'Chelsea will finish outside the top 6' bet is still alive.  Variance I guess...  The good run won't last forever (unless you're as good as a Klopp managed Liverpool).

If Klopp stays beyond his current contract, LFC could dominate like United did with SAF.

Edit:  I hope Pep stays at City tho and let the fans have that rivalry.

[tomahawk9]

50' min Burnley 0-1 Leicester...Just need the Foxes to score 3 more and i'll get the 3pts lol

I found this tweet, pretty much sums up Kepa at Chelsea: https://twitter.com/utdarena/status/1218618117221494785 And it's not like lampard can have the luxury of keeping him on the bench since Kepa was a really expensive signing.

Edit:  I hope Pep stays at City tho and let the fans have that rivalry.

yeah, without him we would have: Mou vs Klopp...meh, not that entertaining. But I think he'll stay tho, if it wasn't for Liverpool insane once in a lifetime undefeated run, we would've had another thrilling title race like the one from last season.

EDIT* Leicester 'overperforming' City just lost. If i dont' hear 'We Are the Champions' by Queen playing at Anfield before the game starts and/or after the game ends, i'm going to be extremely dissapointed. Even more dissapointed if i don't see this exact scene with "♪ we are the champioooons ♪" playing in the background   LOL

[Harkorede]

Shit! Wait, is there any other player in the pool without a point in this round ?! Looks like Hhampuz and someone else are with me. I just need to outscore either of in them in the last fixture to avoid the wooden spoon. This literally is my worse round so far in the pool.

I just checked and found out that Rashford is unavailable for United, that's made me change my initial 2 - 0 to 3 - 0 win still for Liverpool even though there's a conflict of interest between the pick and side bet I got into.

That's quite unfortunate despite going for numerous draws to pick the wrong ones. I couldn't see the video, it keeps saying it's restricted to country, I don't know why, though.

[big_daddy]

And here we are 
1:0 for Liverpool

Liverpool is simply leading the first 15 min of the match, I made a bet just before that goal (Liverpool to win the 1st half  )

Liverpool going to end my red streak in superbru because its first time in 2 season I have 8 out of 9 reds.

[hilariousetc]

Got the correct score in the Liverpool game in Kloppage time  . Nice assist from Alison and great run and composure from Salah. Surprised that nobody went for the Burnley win. Another one goal ruined my correct score.

Draw will count as defeat or nothing because I am feeling they will be undefeated but held for any match so please clear about this.

Draw is not defeat of course. The defeat only will count once they will lose a match and we get our pull result with that or we wait until the last match Liverpool will have.

I'd bet if it included a draw  . I just don't really see any team being that much of a threat to them right now, but I can see them slipping up on a draw. I don't think them playing Wolves away in the next round will be easy. Looking at Liverpool's fixtures they don't really have any big teams coming up until the last handful of games at the end of the season and Liverpool will likely have already won the title by then.

Edit:  I hope Pep stays at City tho and let the fans have that rivalry.

I'll lose a lot of respect for him if he runs off and cries to another team just because they didn't win the title. He should just go again next season.

Too bad you changed it. I had it down at 1-0 but changed it to 2-0 once I saw the line-ups. Could have been 3 or 4-nil though as Liverpool had two goals disallowed.

Well it's Sky's highlights so they'll only have the rights to show it in the UK. Just search for it and I'm sure whoever has the rights in your country will come up.
