The killer goal of the Brighton vs Manchester United match was a penalty in the last minute before the end of the game. My prediction was a Brighton win by two goals to one, so I got a close result with a bet I placed in the 30th minute. Honestly, Brighton deserves to participate in the Europa League next season. They are now very close to achieving this, but they need to win their upcoming matches to secure qualification.



Congratulations to @icopress for winning the yellow hat for this round.
I don't know if I will be able to catch up given the small number of league matches and I don't do well in most of the pools.

Congratulations to @icopress for winning the yellow hat for this round.

This was pretty close. If only it had ended with 0-0 instead, @Trofo would have snatched the yellow cap this round. Darn it and I was so close on winning that as well if only United score a single goal there as most of the players ahead of me were either picked Brighton to win or draw. I dont think I've ever gotten this close on yellow cap this entire season

It’d be a great escape for us wouldn’t it. I’m not getting my hopes up either but imagine sneaking into 4th place on the final day. It’d almost feel like winning a trophy

Man Utd remaining fixtures -

Brighton (A)
West Ham (A)
Wolves (H)
B’mouth (A)
Chelsea (H)
Fuham (H)

Newcastle remaining fixtures -

Arsenal (H)
Leeds (A)
Brighton (H)
Leicester (H)
Chelsea (A)

The last 5 fixtures for United shouldnt be a problem for Ten Hag and the squad or atleast I hope so.  Gotta win the next 3 games before we play against Chelsea and Fulham which seems to be quite a threat

Just wondering this, how do you set night mode on superbru?

Simple- I use the Dark Reader Google Chrome extension to force/turn every site I visit, including Bitcointalk, to a dark mood. It's easy to use and can be modified to meet your exact screen and eye demands.

I lost the yellow cap by 0.5 point; I didn't see that one coming; it was a fantasy round for everyone. congrats icopress

Brighton is becoming a real team, didn't expect a win from them, even after 6 goals few days ago, and they are next for Everton, so no points there
this opens CL fight a bit, for Liverpool as well, will be interesting till the end, only in Premier league you can have several ups and downs during season and still be able to finish within top4, no team ia above others by far, except for City, they are other league I think, Arsenal gave hope for us to see surprise, but it ain't gonna happen

If United had lost their recent game against Villa and Newcastle to Spurs, that would have given me good cause for hope. Still -- I can smell United dropping 2 games as they seem dire away. And Chelski? Heh. Toons actually have the tougher fixtures -- if they actually lose to Brighton, Chelski and Arsenal, wow.

Problem is, the stars all have to align, and we do need to win 2 tricky away games, relegation strugglers are so dangerous. Then we also have a very good Villa team to beat...

Don't forget, even if all these scenarios happen AND we win all our games... Brighton win all their games and we're also screwed. And that's possible too!

What do you guys think of Bournemouth to win against Chelsea at 3.35 or prolly even taking the safer route and take the draw no bet at 2.30?  I haven't really looked into it except knowing that Chelsea have been sucking lately and been losing their last 4 matches.  Momentum says it would prolly keep going..?  And Lampard isn't really some brilliant genius football manager.  

Another spot could be City -2.75 at 2.37.  Guardiola and his boys will prolly start going all out now to secure the league.  I'm thinking it could go at least 3 - 0, 4 - 1.  What do you guys think?

Of course, choosing Bournemouth to win. Bournemouth performance is better and Chelsea is the worst.

They all look ready to drop points but we're too far behind to take advantage of it and too erratic with our performances to even believe that we'll win all remaining games.

The frustrating thing is that we'll be really close to securing it - but EL now looks likely which would still be considered 'decent' in comparison to Conference league.

We are going to lose 2-1 to Bournemouth at 11.00 (you heard it here first) or better yet, Bournemouth to score 2+ at 2.80 (we are worse away from home and are likely to concede 2+ goals), the club has no ambition or whatever right now, and it would be a disappointing result for O'Neill's side not to enjoy the Chelsea gifts.

There will be a lot of messes to clean up next month.

Brighton was helped by the referee yesterday,clearly violating the additional time given by the fourth referee,the fourth referee gave 5 minutes of additional time and the referee gave a penalty in the 97th minute which is something not good,the game should have ended 0-0 as the most logical result.The game was an open one and was thanks to the goalkeepers that kept the score 0-0 until the penalty because they did quite some nice saves yesterday night.I am very pissed off with this referee as he made me lose a couple of positions in the pool while if the game ended 0-0 I would have even climbed one position more,now I am again outside the top 10.

I have no problem with Brighton penalty even though 0:0 would serve me better. Yes penalty was awarded after shown time but only because there was a VAR check, actual penalty offense happened with still half a minute on the clock left if I remember correctly. It was a stupid penalty by Shaw but ref had to give it, no choice when hand is that high.

By the way, if you ask me Antony should have gotten red card after that foul and pushing with Dunk, no way they get the same penalty, just a yellow for both. But ref was guilty for that situation as well so I guess he did not want to give it.

On my way to Anfield in 1 hour. It’ll be my first game since December due to other commitments. Looking forward to it, I have chose a good time to return as we are in better form. I’m expecting a win, hopefully a comfortable one.

Would be good if Man Utd & Newcastle drop points.

Yeah, I mentioned earlier I actually accepted Liverpool won't be in UCL many games ago, but betting wise, I'm just on autopilot with trying to squeeze out as much value as possible from the chances of Newcastle/United/Brighton slipping up.

At least if we get Europa we'll be meeting Ajax + Juventus, haha.

Man, have a blast, and fill out some photos too if you can. I'm actually 50% chance of going to Liverpool but NOT for the Villa game, a week before, sort of promised a kid but am hoping it doesn't actually work out hahaha (it's the dreaded song competition).

We are doing well from the last few matches although our defense is causing us trouble. But hopefully Brentford is not going to be hard for us.

I wonder if many people care much about Europa LOL

Bad start today. 3 points [If I get my number correct] from 4 matches. Not good.

What a piece of shit you are Joao Felix, you blow my exact score...

And Villa i need that goal a draw.

Manchester City really strange game, and really few goals i didnt spect that, Leeds its by far the worst team defending in the league, also City its struggling a lot to close the games in the last two games at home.

strange day in EPL, three matches finished 1:0, no matter what schedule, that is far from EPL usual statistics
City win is good for us, Leeds is struggling, will be a thorough fight for relegation till the end, Forest has chance to skip the line against Southampton, hope that Saints are not going to let them win easily
we are waiting Monday to play Brighton, but I don't expect points there

I thought with these results I would have lost at least some 5 places but I saw that everybody else did not do well in this strange week for results in Premier League.Liverpool is winning 1-0 for the second time or do I remember wrong here and this is really strange,a team like Liverpool who loves to score as many goals as possible and also Tottenham which usually makes games where a lot of goals are scored ended 1-0,the same for Aston Villa which for me was the biggest surprise of the week as a result,two consecutive lost games for them means their good results have ended and lately really surprised for the good by the Chelsea win.

Newcastle vs Arsenal
West Ham vs Man Utd

I will be hoping for two home wins to keep Liverpool’s slim top 4 hopes alive.

Are you sure? We need Arsenal and West Ham to win. So Castle and Utd don't get anymore points.

The recent form of Arsenal except win in the last round by 3 - 1 against Chelsea, does not give confidence that it will be an easy match to win for them. Castle definitely have a chance to win but I feel this match can end up by a draw. If so then one more point for Castle.

It will be too ambitious expectation to expect anything from West Ham. But we can hope the best for us.

I think that Arsenal has completely lost motivation now that they are 4 points behind Manchester City and Newcastle is a very strong team when playing at home in St.James Park.I think that Arsenal is going to lose in today game and I predict a game full of goals with Newcastle winning in the end.

For Manchester United though,despite I know very well their problems on the road during all this season we should also keep in mind that they usually get the three points on the road against teams in mid table or a bit lower than that so for me most likely Manchester United is going to get a narrow win in tonight game.
