^  Yup.  Leeds leading by a goal up at the first half vs City.  Lol.  Leeds got a red card towards the end of the half tho.  So 2 - 1 (my pick) is def still live.  But 3 - 1, 4 - 1 is now more likely imo.

Wow what a result 2-1 to Leeds ! Congrats to Sojourner- the only person to pick a Leeds win AND get the score right too ! Is this the start of a dip in form for Man City ?

[buwaytress]

^Beautiful day for me so far. 1 exact and 1 correct score, if Traore were just a bit better in front of goal I'd maybe looking at the exacts. But I don't mind at all, how many times do you see Leeds get only 2 shots on goal, convert both, and do that with only 10 men against City? Sweeter for me as I got a 10/1 ML bet on that all in injury time. Yellow cap here I come haha!

Now we just need to get Pool in front at Anfield and we'll put the home hoodoo away for good.

Not necessarily the start of a dip, City played relatively well it just happened to be one of those day when things can't just go your way, I rather see this as a "form correction" instead of a dip

There's a hell of a lot of people who need to make their picks still. 26 so far. Don't forget there's a game on tonight. Many miss the friday evening ones. It's Fulham vs Wolves so I'm sure it'll be a forgettable game over all. It's got a bore draw written all over it. Maybe even goaless.

I just revised my picks and is favoring Wolves for tonight. We could see a boring match but let's see if Woves can manage some points. After Liverpool and West Ham, Fulham should be a less fighting team for them and they may try to take this chance to earn some points.

Anyone has any idea about West Ham vs Leicester match in this round? I can't pick a side LOL

After all the things we said about Adama Traore in the other threads,,, I said a lot this week haha,,, he finally got his first goal of the season and it was a nice one to win 3 points for his team in injury time!.

I honestly thought it is all over but happy for 1.5 points (I picked 0-2). rdbase went crazy and picked 5-2 !!

Any surprises today?

So annoying. Thought I was gonna get the full three points with the 0-0 but they were stolen from me in the last minutes of the game. Even worse is that tomahawk gets the 1.5 points with that win.

I thought City would win by a few in this. Leeds played well especially with ten men. Thought the sending off was a bit harsh. Thought Fernando's tackle later on was worse and he should have been off. They really need to start sending players off when they make zero attempt to get the ball and their only plan is to take them out to stop a risky attack.

Sojourner often has crazy scores where I think to myself what is he doing but then they've gone and come in haha.

They'll be alright. They didn't have their full strength team out and are likely saving some for the CL game next week which is much more important as they have a nice buffer in the PL. They did dominate the game and credit to Leeds for throwing a lot of bodies behind the ball. There was a handful of great goal-bound blocks.

[Harkorede]

Chelsea are already two goals up within the first 10 minutes, I guess that should settle the game already. They've had some really great possessions from the start.

Damn man, you had to hit one of those surprises since you play them often, but getting it right against City and Leeds with only 10 man... Really did not see this one coming.

Even Reds delivered for you today, not the best performance but 3 points is what counts in the end. Glad Arnold got the winner, he has quite bad season and hopefully this will bring him closer to last year performances.

1 point it is for most of us. Fulham killed me yesterday got 0 city also 0 now liverpool 1.5 only
Another week goes down and still down a lot of places

Same for me.I had 1-1 Fulham and thought that they would have get at least a draw in yesterday game.In today game I don't think anyone got Manchester City correct as no one thought they would lose,although this was somewhat expected and they dominated the game against Dortmund in Champions and they were tired.I got Liverpool correct score at least and now I see I did not put my predictions for tomorrow so going right away to fill them.

It still a crazy competition for 2nd to 10th position every slots is still available from grabs, I'm really just trying to get the average point each, that would probably be enough to keep a slot, but easier said than done.

You gotta respect @tomahawk9 he stole the show this season, he's hardly ever out of the top 10 weekly.

[leea-1334]

My Spurs today! So much panic for me lol:)

tomahawk has a strange way to annoy us,,, I really really need to understand how his mind works because he is getting there every single week no matter how badly teams play! Very special season for him and I hope he is not as good next season otherwise it gets boring like City winning every week;)

Before scoring that goal by Traore I had this in mind that you said it could end up goalless. I was like shit, I should have to change my pick based on that information and I would get some point but when Traore scored I was like, damn me!

I had 0 - 2 so I will not complain but will be happy.

Even worse is that tomahawk gets the 1.5 points with that win.

Is anyone actually chasing toma? 😂
I gave up looking for the first spot long ago and I am sure no one else is going to have it except him. To my surprise I just check the round result so far and toma is leading with 6 points 🤣

You gotta respect @tomahawk9 he stole the show this season, he's hardly ever out of the top 10 weekly.

How it's even possible! Ban him in the next season 😉
Honestly speaking, incredible stuff from toma.

Anyway, yesterday I was super happy with City losing against Leeds. I had 2 - 1 pick for City and at some point I was thinking I will have a correct score but that late goal from Dallas bought me joy even there were no point for me. But when City lose a match it's Christmas for me. A draw in West Ham - Leicester match would be perfect.

Why so worried? You guys trashed United 6:1 last time around and that was away from home. You can only be better at home for sure 

In a bit more serious tone, my money is on United to not lose today. United is very good playing away, I believe they still did not lose a single game this season and Spurs look a bit shaken lately.

[buwaytress]

Palace down to 2 quick goals, never really looked like they were getting back into the game at any point in the first half hour especially. My 2-1 pick looked really hopeful of even getting a point, but I was hoping for another Chelsea crazy breakdown ha!

Thank you, thank you, I'm treasuring every bet I win against City (I still think 10/1 was actually very bad considering this was Leeds, but I'll take it anyway) and yes, getting 2 important goals in injury time today is making me feel really lucky. Trent was... more or less the same as he has been all season. If you saw most of the period in 80 mins especially he was having a really dead right foot. Counted at least 4/5 passes that were too short, and then put the ball out maybe 3/4 times. Also on an unlucky day may have had a penalty but no, this goal was even sweeter than his last assist for Jota against the Gunners.

We weren't playing badly at all though, so was happy to take a Liverpool win livebet even when we were down.

It was a great day yesterday for us. City lost their match, Liverpool won from behind. What more can make us happy. Congrats on those winnings brother.

Edited away the "now" -- brain is probably still in the past, looking back forever on old games and "if onlys" ha!

Yeah, Anfield hoodoo is out the window thanks to Salah and TAA, one never lets us down while the other is keen on redeeming his season, so I'll take that any time. We just need to get past this bad season, and welcome back our stalwarts next one.

It was my birthday yesterday, so I didn't have time to follow the games. Turns out, they went pretty well for me. Of course, I didn't guess that Leeds United would win against Manchester City (I still cannot believe it happened, but congrats to Sojourner who picked it exactly right), but I got Liverpool vs Aston Villa exactly right and was close on Crystal Palace vs Chelsea. West Ham vs Leicester City is looking very bad right now as my pick was 0-1 with Leicester winning
What do you think about Tottenham vs Manchester United? I picked a draw, but I know it's unlikely.

Happy B-day with a day delay then hehe. I hoped you have a great day and you had fun as long as you could have.

With the victory of West Ham there is even more pressure on teams like Spurs who is playing in 30 minutes again Man United and for Chelsea and Liverpool as all 3 of them are looking to take that 4th spot. I think United will come to play with anger today and looking for a revenge spot because if I remember well there was a massacre 6-1 last game for Spurs so yea...leaning towards over 2.5 for United.

[buwaytress]

Yeah, happy birthday krypt! Hope you had a good one. Was an AMA going on just as that game was playing out too, the last goal from United broke our hearts (those doing the 21 Soccer Blackjack special but we all got our money back heh.

Slipped way back down after the day's results with bigdaddy on 11 points now. May Arsenal please not let me down today...

[cryptofrka]

I spent 10 weeks trying to crawl back to the winning spots, came within 5 points and then picked up 3 points from 8 games in this round.

It's incredible how hard it is to climb up in a pool of 50 people and how easy it is to f**k it up

It takes great consistence to be in the top so my hat's off to you guys. I probably ruined my chances this week.
