Don't make excuses for injury crisis; Chelsea and Manutd have both suffered from injuries this season, and nobody gives a fuck; whenever we lose, the manager bears the responsibility.

Not to mention that Manutd and Chelsea has other fixtures aside from EPL as well but Tottenham only has to play in EPL

Another bad round so far for me and looks like i will lose the first place by the end of the round. Everyone keeps on saying that Everton will fight for relegation but they won last 3/4 games and didnt lose so they are already in the middle of the table

Nah its not really a bad round so far for you with 6 points being the highest with 3 players that gets it as of now and you currently get 3 points so thats pretty decent. Even if you got taken out somehow by the end of the round, its still pretty close for you to make it back on top with a good round or two though

Predicting Bournemouth to win against Newcastle is a bold move

[SATWAT]

Didn’t take long for Spurs to revert back to, well, being Spurs.

Newcastle suffering with injuries, a bad loss for them, whilst Arsenal & Man Utd win.

I really hope Liverpool do what’s expected of them tomorrow, I pray for no more complacency.

Today I am really shocked as after 85th minute I was sure about Tottenham and my pool result as well with just gone away for the cup of tea and as I returned things were completely changed 2 injury time goals kill my all best wishes for the good start, and then I have nothing positive, but now I have gut feeling tomorrow I will be having good response from the Liverpool with few other results are also going to give positive response.

This season is completely bringing all things badly down for me with after having 8th spot now I am down at 47th which is surely worst for me, but hopefully another turn will happen, and I will be at better spot in coming weeks.

With the number of injuries and fans pressure for positive results, Agnes would not have lasted a month as manager of Chelsea or Manchester United. Do you understand what it means to have Gallagher, a fifth-stringer, captain the team for the past two months? And do you know what it means for ETH to bring in Maguire, who has been a third-choice player for months? Chelsea and Manutd have been through more challenges than any other team in the league.

This round's leading point is LFC Bitcoin with 6 points, indicating how bad the round is.

Destroy Manchester City's setup, send the team's engine (Rodri) back to the hospital, and give Doku a two-week Hamstring injury.

I'm afraid to give Liverpool a win on my ticket after what I saw on Thursday night. The defence is a mess.

Sounds good here, except I never plan on injuries, just prefer them to be fit and shit.

Liverpool's defence always a mess but statically still allowing the league's fewest quality chances so there's that. Also, all due respect to our Irish lad between the sticks, we lost on Thursday because we didn't have a Prem League keeper.

~snip

what are those other fixtures for Chelsea, that Tottenham does not have?
I mean agree that they are still in EFL cup, but Tottenham was also there one round ago, and both teams are not playing European cups

and there is United, they will probably also having free European schedule in two games, if they don't improve a lot

but Tottenham is finished until new year, with all this injuries they will see themselves out of top4, not much but enough to end title hopes, if those were existing

Liverpool - Brentford looks like 7+ goals according to the lineups. Not sure where Konate and Gomez are - I've heard nothing about them being doubtful for the game.
I really hope offensively we'll have enough to win the game - survive this and then it's the international break.

To be fair to Brentford - they will be missing a few important players as well. Over 6,5 goals offers odds of 12 - I'm actually tempted to throw a few bucks at it.

I didn't mean any of that but setting him up for a red card to get what we want is all I could wish for just the way we disorganized the Tottenham team.

I don't see such high scoring game, the Brendford team is good at sitting deep and play on the counter attack, a similar way with Westham. I went with HT under 2.5 live bet.

Much better from Jurgen’s Red Machine at Anfield today. Really impressive 3-0 win against a Brentford team who had won their last three games. We go above Arsenal into second place in the table. Nice to sign off before the international break with a win.

Now time to relax and watch Chelsea vs Man City. Hoping Chelsea win but expecting Man City to, should he a good game any way.

What a match it is! It's a new Chelsea. I got 1-1 in the pool and a small bet of both team to score.

Well, it sure was a good game, one of the best I watched this season. Both teams going for it with lot of tempo and eight goals in the end. We had everything except for a red card, turn arounds, penalties, good tackles, bad tackles, mistakes ....

Chelsea and united rising their form a bit. Will be interesting in PL after international break. It is never good time for international break if you ask me, but after game like this it hurts even more.

Since last season, no side has scored more than three goals against City ( could be wrong), we set the standard, and we are Chelsea! The main issue we have right now is our backline, which gets easily frozen and is one of the worst teams in terms of defending set pieces. I hate that we conceded easy goals, but we gave it our all and it was a worthy match in the end. We're starting to pick ourselves; not a good moment for an international break, in my opinion.

One more big match against Manchester City away on 25/11. This is what is waiting for the end of their competition to return tight in this match this coming week as a determinant before the break.

Now time to relax and watch Chelsea vs Man City. Hoping Chelsea win but expecting Man City to, should he a good game any way.

It was a pleasure watching the Chelsea vs Manchester City match with lots of goals scored, no wonder for me for Chelsea because when dealing with big teams they look strong and able to score more goals but in the end it was a draw.

Totally dissapointed again with you guys How nobody of us can predict that clear 4-4 between Chelsea and Manchester City?.

Asides of that i want to talk about the most lucky or the most eficient machine in terms of made goals/goals allowed, and that "machine " is..... Manchester United a shit team but they are just only a six point from top, having -3 in goal diference , winning all the games for only one goal, and scoring only 13 goals, incredible, i repeat they are shit, but they are being in that shit very eficient.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Yeah, most of the time I prefer my happiness above some pool points, but when it comes to money, I don't care about my club. If I bet against them, I expect them to lose, so I get paid afterall players are paid, whether they win or lose.

I doubt you are a fan LOL. You are looking for opportunity to fill your pocket with cash, such a selfish old ass 🤨

By the way, thanks to Chelsea for the draw against City. City up against Liverpool in the next round. Very tough match but if we manage to win then we will be leading the point table and the confidence from the win will drive us ahead in the later matches. I have nothing to lose in the pool, so I will go with a straight win against City.

@CLS63, you are still ahead! 😉

  Probably the odds for this outcome were around 500 to 1. You don’t need any bet constructors or multi-bets - you just need to guess this outcome and get the jackpot.
United really look like a mysterious piece of shit - but I don't think their luck is endless and they will continue to beat outsiders with a minimum score, so the gap from the top will increase.
It's funny that in the entire standings, it is United that has a zero - in the draws column. So Everton - United will be 1-1?

In the end statistics are all that matter,if they are shit it looks like they are at least a good shit  and if they continue to be this shitty then most likely we will see them drown in the title fight not long from now as they are not far away.They have made some really bad mistakes in some games otherwise if they were this pragmatic from the very start they could be very well in the top of the standings now.The Premier League is becoming really beautiful as quite some teams are in the fight for the title this year and Manchester City is not anymore that invincible machine they once were.

Club membership fees must be paid and I don't see anything wrong taking advantage of my club form to fill my pocket from bookies.  some of these players also bet against their own team. Ask Toney.

The best way to play Manchester City is to dominate the midfield and break the link between Halaand and the midfield. Do Liverpool have what it takes to dominate City's midfield in the same way as Chelsea did?

Here I agreed with @Igebotz now it's Jürgen Klopp turn to stop Manchester City as Chelsea done because if they are able to stop Haaland then surely they can manage to have positive end of their match as well which will help them for having good chance for the title as well even still its very long way to go, but now things are turning into good way for the top three teams.
After worst Saturday I have some good results on Super Sunday with some ranks also jump, hopefully before new year I will catch into top 10 which could be good for the rest of the season to have good end of this season.

[un_rank]

The PGMOL has announced that they will be releasing the audio recording of the controversial goal that handed Arsenal their first defeat against Newcastle.

I am not really excited to hear what led the refs to arrive at the decision that caused them to stick to the on field decision, it is probably them explaining and rationalizing the decision. It is not a clear and obvious error like the offside against Liverpool and is open to interpretation based on how you view the incidence.

Just found this now: https://swissramble.substack.com/p/european-wages-202122

Latest wage reports of the big leagues. Not really shocking, the biggest wages belong to United (I honestly expected City) but Liverpool aren't far behind, though it has to be said we signed lucrative contracts to keep Salah after paying out of the nose for VVD... it was a domino effect. It also doesn't count transfer costs so should note we got players mostly cheap, but ended up paying more to keep them (preferable to bombing on expensive players I guess).

I like the caps in American sports, I do wish there were more control in EPL. Thankfully, football is such a weird sport the highest wage spenders can still miss out on the big prizes.

Respect for Brentford. Killing it with 20% of the wages we pay.
