Uggh, 1 point from 3 games so far and moved back down to fifth place with sixth and seventh place only 2 and 3 points behind me. Gonna be a real struggle to hold on to that top spot now but at least I'm likely to hold onto the number one highest point place  . If someone overtakes me on the last round I'll be pissed.

Today's games don't look easy to predict. I don't expect lots of goals. Maybe close home wins for all the matches except maybe the Brighton game where I could see a draw, but saying that Brighton could do with at least a point to make sure they stay out of the relegation zone but I think they'll be fine regardless.

My first season right now on 13th and trying hard to achieve top 10 as its could be good for me last few rounds give me good points and hoping for more in next few matches today going with all home wins just Brighton is some doubtful as Newcastle can give some tough time but still hoping for more points its really great fun for me in this pool hopefully next year could be more good.

I got 3 pts on the first an that's all for now in this round, hopefully still at 16th position 

I'm on a draw 1:1 on Brighton - Newcastle, I'm pretty sure that will be a draw and will bet that also

I really know how to call them, don't I? I blame myself for this City performance if I had not wrote that and put that much money on both to score I am sure City would score few tonight. Maybe I could ring Arsenal up and ask for some sort of compesation if they want similar help for final  

Looking forward to Leeds and Bielsa in PL next season. There could be some interesting scenes. If Bilic manages to qualify with WBA then we will have some really colourful coaches.

Seriously, it's like we love jinxing ourselves. I generally bet for fun money but every now and then I go and splash a bit on my Liverpool and then I go jinx them with it. All their losses this season have been with me riding them with a lot more money than I normally put.

And Leeds ah. I'll always remember that crying kid with "Leeds til I die" on his tummy, and Alan Smith consoling him (before joining the dastardly United!). Also, I'm hoping to see Nottingham Forest somehow make the playoffs and get up. Oldest football club in the leagues, I actually still remember them in 97/8/9? Like Leeds, relegation ruined them financially, so many horror stories from dropping out of the Prem.

^  Bielsa is another manager to look forward to.  I hope to see the same kind success that Wilder had.

Arsenal was good in the last few games and I really hope they will have the the guts too attack the City. As you said City looked comical in defense if opposition manages to do enough attacking pressure. I have a big bet on both to score @1.76, seems like really good odds for the game I expect both teams to attack. It is not like either of the teams can defend properly. This bet can fail only if Arsenal breaks apart and maybe gets a red card or two in the process.

Yup..  Bilic isn't bad.  I liked him at West Ham and he had some success in the beginning.

Really tough picks tonight - all 3 matches could go any way !
Good luck all !

Congrats to Leeds - a welcome return to the premiership. I’d also like to see Brentford get there automatically -  a fantastic footballing team and nice to get some new blood in to the top flight.

I'm on a draw 1:1 on Brighton - Newcastle, I'm pretty sure that will be a draw and will bet that also

The draw is winning almost every pre-match poll that i've read on social media, but I think I have a Brighton win in our pool...not gonna change it, tho, i won't follow the herd =P

I'm hoping to see Nottingham Forest somehow make the playoffs and get up. Oldest football club in the leagues

If Aston Villa somehow manages to stay in the EPL and Forest makes it to the top flight, we'd have all the english champions league winners in the premier league again! i want this to happen so bad

Unfortunately, we'd also have to get Blackburn Rovers up as well though;) That's the only Prem League winner missing now, I'm very sure there are many others who used to win the League before Prem. If Liverpool had to wait 30 years, can you imagine teams who no longer have any living person who remembers when they last topped England? I remember Preston North End (one of the League founders and they won the very first two and then never again oops), but I know a lot of others are in that list of >30 years wait. Leeds now will have waited 30 years next year =)

Some really dull games on tonight with not a lot of importance on any of them. I guess Wolves & Sheff U are fighting for Europa League spaces but that’s as exciting as it gets.

Very interesting situation just @Harkorede supporting Everton in pool and no other members going to have any point in other match we have many members going with draw which is usual but sadly I am very poor in both matches as have no points chance for these both games.

IDK what's happened with Sheffield after the restart. From one of the best defence in the league, now without a clean sheet. Now they will lose against Everton which is totally uninterested to win someone. Sheffield with Leicester is the worst after the break.
Teams from the middle of the table without any will to compete, ruin all predictions.

Very disappointed. From these two matches no point for me. I don't go far draw match that mach so picked 1 - 0 for Brighton or I would go for 1 - 1 draw. Sheffs were really very average today.

Bad start for me. I hope to get some point from the next match.


Give the first spot to Toke. Things are tight for everyone else.

I'm not gonna watch any of them. Two good results for me so far. Got the 0-0 correct score on the Newcastle and though I didn't get any on the Sheffield match only Harkorede backed them to lose and he's at 22 place so no threat to the top 5. Moved back into fourth place now but mbitr is still up my arse one point behind as he went for the 0-0 as well.

Wolves should win the next game but I think it will be close.

Nobody's going to take the number one spot from him. He's pretty consistent with his scores and the gap is just too big. Everything still to play for the other top 4 places though.

Toke was amazing, I have no idea how he got all those points when a lot of us were struggling in the middle of the season. He deserves the reward. I am not looking at MoSala to have some bad picks and I just keep hanging on there. May be then I will have a 2nd place considering nothing else goes too wrong with me.

However, good luck to everyone on the chasing.

Watched a bit of the Brighton v Newcastle - boring !
@hilarious - getting very tight around 4th / 5th - a good few people could get it yet . I’d rather you be looking at my arse though !!
I feel like a manager - every point counts now 
Everyone seems to have gone for wolves - apart from one - watch the upset now 

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

I had 2 - 0 then gone for 2 - 1 just few minutes before the kick off. I hope this will bring some value for me. I correct score will be nice here 😜
No upset please although it's not gonna harm anyone. Avirunes runs is not in the race LOL

I just discovered I was the only one to have backed Everton to win, but as Hilarious already stated It's of use to the top prizes and the weekly prize has also slipped through my fingers as well, so I might go a for a really weird pick in the last round for a win or burst 

The race for 2-3 in the pool is pretty crazy, just like it is in EPL for the 3rd-4th places

Yesterday for first time ever in my 20 years of gambling that I managed to win the ticket because I chose the wrong market by mistake. I was sure Sheffield is not losing yesterday and wanted to play double chance on them. However I obviously miss clicked and played either team to win market. It was a nice surprise in the evening when I saw I won something after thinking all my tickets were busted


By the way guys I have made a feeler thread for Spanish La liga paid prediction pool as well, so if you are interested you know what to do...

You were extremely lucky there. It was hard to predict Sheffs to lose and only one who picked 1 - 2 lose for Sheffs in the pool. I am pretty sure it was just a bluff pick but managed to get some points of course.

With me gambling is never lucky even my misclicks are wrong too LOL
