there's absolutely no way Bruno fernandes will ever take a pen again when Ronaldo is on the pitch...that was the worst penalty kick i've seen in a long time   #OleOut about to go trending 🤣

That is added pressure of having Ronaldo in your team breathing down your neck and just waiting for you to slip so he can take your set piece duties one by one Absolute shocker of result. Hopefully nobody has it our pool.

West Ham made me sweat until the very end but Antonio cam trough in extra time to bring them 3 points and win for my ticket. Did not watch the derby between Chelsea and City since I was out but according to the stats City destroyed them. Really did not think Chelsea could loose this game.

[swogerino]

I can't say that a City win was unexpected,it was on paper but in reality although they have not found their real pace yet they have better quality players compared to Chelsea.The shocking result is from Manchester United first and then Liverpool which could not hold the result after being in advantage against Brentford.

Personally for me it ended well,I am still leading the standings while I thought I would have lost quite some positions in today games.

After today's results, I think I should retire from EPL pool. If someone think that they perform bad, just hold my beer - 1.5 from 7 games today. Brentford 3:3 Liverpool - how it's even possible? What a game it was! Ok, I can't complain that I didn't predicted upset in this or MU - Villa game. But this season I always back wrong side in 50/50 games like Chelsea - City or Watford - Newcastle. Tomorrow games including North London derby also doesn't looks easier to predict. So, wooden spoon, here I come!

Got robbed in injury time of a perfect score in the Leeds game. Was gonna change it to a West Ham win due to all the Leeds injuries but decided to stick to my guns since Raphinia was playing. He scored a good goal as well. Was lucky not to get another. Just seen the Liverpool score. 3-3. Crazy. Nobody backed the draw on that one.

One crazy fucker backed the Villa win haha. Just goes to show you even with Ronaldo, Pogba and Fernandes in your team you can still lose to shitters.

Well, these assholes have good defenders in the person of Cash and Hause, who are in no way inferior to the defenders of Manchester United or any other top team. By the way, I will not be surprised at anything, considering that we have witnessed the devastating defeat of Spurs from Crystal Palace.

You can't even imagine how glad I am to hear this news, because the victory of WH brought me one step closer to 2000x the odds, and,  I managed to place the bet at a time when the 3x odds were still available, (I believe that the odds before the match dropped significantly due to the fact that Antonio recovered after being disqualified).

Not so bad a week for me honestly, despite the first two games, I was able to get 3 exact scores which has left on 9 points and joint 2nd place so far this week.

I didn't see Liverpool draw coming and they cost me quite a fortune  Brentford just wouldn't back down! They've come to stay in the EPL, at least they're going nowhere this season, I'd say!

Brentford 3:3 Liverpool - how it's even possible? What a game it was!

Well, Brentford do have LFC's recruiting strategy on a smaller scale (or so I read yesterday) so I'm not really surprised at the draw.

Finally got my first exact pick of the season with Everton - Norwich, was close to having a second on but I changed my Leeds score to 0-2 after reading about their injury drama.

Arsenal to win the north London derby, anyone?

Bad kick, yes. As for the result, it might appear to be very unlikely, but I don't think it was particularly unexpected. Yes, Man U are considerably better than Villa... but I just don't see them as one of the top teams in the league, they are not in the same class as Man City or Chelsea. Ronaldo would probably have salvaged the draw in this instance if he took the penalty, I'm just not convinced his overall play makes Man U a better team. If he's judged on goals, he's great, but if he's judged on the full 90 minutes he doesn't offer the complete package.

For the Derby I'm not backing up the gunners to pick up even a one point from a draw they are still very fragile at the moment and true their have been slowly improving their results.
Tottenham look very solid at their best but have started to slip lately with Kane looking way off his best form. So them going to their 3rd straight loss is highly unlikely
I do think Santo could be the difference maker here. He clearly knew how to get the better of this Arsenal side and I can see his Tottenham team strolling into the Emirates and coming away with a winner most likely to be 1-0 or 2-0.

[davis196]

I'm expecting Arsenal and Tottenham to make a draw.Both teams look weak and predictable.
The draw between Liverpool and Brantford might seem shocking,but I kinda expect Liverpool to make such mistakes.They've done it in the past.
Anyway Man United vs. Aston Vila was hilarious.Why the hell did Bruno Fernandes perform the penalty.
I thought that Cristiano Ronaldo will perform all the penalties... Huh
Man City vs. Chelsea was a pretty much expected outcome.I think that Man City will win the Premier League again.Pep Guardiola knows how to win trophies,even though he kinda sucks at the Champions League,after he left Barcelona.

Probably Fernandes feels more pressured by having Ronaldo on his back than the opposition fans trying to put him off. I think CR7 will now start taking the penalties.

I think this season is shaping up to be the closest title race in a long time.

In football, nothing is going right for me LOL. How could one believe Brentford scored thrice against Liverpool!

[buwaytress]

Wow Spurs. 3 games into the season, they were top, Arsenal bottom. 3 games later, whipped badly and they're in 11th, one place below the Gunners. How cruel fate can be in football!

Only one game left to make a difference tomorrow, I'm not too far off the bad pack (3 points from 2 games) so am guessing the draws wiped out most of us (I surprised myself, thought I'd added in a draw or two on the weekend games actually) but I think we can safely give this week's yellow cap to Big G, who may still end up getting 16.5 points after tomorrow.

Brighton top of the league after 6 matches? Never say never.

Same as me today,I never expected Arsenal to show the performance that they showed today,I had a 1-1 draw which 75% of all pool participants had also,the rest had winning Arsenal and only them got a point or close one because no one predicted 3-1.I had a 0-0 draw on Southampton game as I thought at least a draw they should have gotten playing at home.It is very close so far with just 15 points dividing almost 20 first positions in the standings so there is a lot of time to recover for everyone.

I literally had the guts that Arsenal would and I've got a couple of Bucks on them, It's Tottenham that I really just can't get a hold of... It's all gone from bad to terribly worse for them, and ironically it's been since Kane got back to the squad.

As for Arsenal the first of fixtures just weren't nice to them at all in my opinion and having watched what Brentford are capable of especially against Liverpool yesterday, it felt as though Arsenal losing them on game day 1 has been justified.

Not so bad week I've only been right on just 4 occasions this game round, but I'm joint 2nd for the week round.

yep never seen it coming for Arsenal winning today against Spurs especially when Nuno team had a great start of the season winning 3/3 games but now after this they are on 3 defeat streak.
The one who was assaulted and did not complain, most likely she got used to that and nothing separates her anymore ,Or perhaps in a previous season she wanted to show us her virility and every defeat makes a fuss as if she had never lived it.
The Gunners searched their archives and found some weapons of the golden season, when London was in their name and they eliminated the intruders in the first run.. and they assured us that Harry Kane is dying this year after I thought it was just a rumor.

Yeah, draw between these teams isn't biggest upset this season, but result - 3:3, it's impossible to predict such result. But I'm really glad that Brentford is doing fine in EPL. I followed this team in Championship for few seasons already and I wanted to see how they perform in EPL.

Same for me, mate Very poor performance from Spurs. Their name isasociated with loses this weekend - first Joshua lost to Usyk at Spurs stadium and now Spurs had no chances in North London derby.

[leea-1334]

I apologize to anyone who predicted Spurs, on behalf of my team, but I also want to remind everyone when it comes to Spurs,,, be prepared for maximum disappointment and minimum satisfaction, hence three 1-0 wins followed by 3 games letting in 3 goals each.

Son and Kane will find a way to score again but not when our team is just so weak at the core.
