How often do you see this? Only 5 bastards picked the right outcome, and each got the maximum haul, with two goals in injury time.

On hindsight, I should have gone for a BTTS Liverpool-Arsenal draw, past results vs contenders suggest this was the likely outcome but we really ought to have won comfortably. We just love giving Erik and Mikel early presents...

Boxing day is up next. This is the round that usually is crazy with goals and some insane results. I wonder what we can expect from it now. I went like i always do but i think that something insane will happen in this round. Hopefully i finally got some good results because last two rounds just killed me.

Team news for the first boxing day match is in. Newcastle are going in with their familiar lineup but without Nick Pope and Lasceles, with the only notable absence being Joelington. Isak starts today and will be looking to get back to his pre injury form, while Trippier will be happy to get some good performances in after the last couple of weeks.

Nuni at Nottingham Forest will be hoping to turn the fortunes of the club around. He is giving some of their youngsters a chance for today's game and are not expected to pick up anything, which gives them the freedom to just play football and hope for the best.

There is no doubt we have too many goals in first five games of the Boxing Day with just Liverpool ended a match with 2 goals other all going over 2.5 which is amazing, but Newcastle United are going down and look like now Eddie Howe days are numbered with Saudi owners are not happy with this performance.
Bournemouth extended their winning streak and have good result against Fulham, Luton done good show against Sheffield United and won their second match.
Right now we have good fight back from Manchester United after ending 0–2 in first half now leading by 3–2 with we are in 97th minute of the game and just 2 minutes remaining.

Villa killed me. Not for the first time, and usually in a painful way. Gerrard's 3-2 capitulation to City on final day is of course worse than last night's 3-2, funny it was after leading 2-0, both to Manchester clubs.

Need to start taking Newcastle less seriously too, it would seem.

After going two goals up, the whole Aston Villa midfield and defence allowed United dominate them in every area, and Emery's mistake was not adopting defensive tactics in the second half, resulting in one of the worst second halves of football from Aston Villa. With that comeback, ETH just bought himself another contract extension, he got everything right last night.

This Newcastle united team ain't making the top 4 this season. 1mbtc side.

Probably one of the not so many times we'll share a common idea or opinion 

Injuries haven't helped their matters to be literally honest, and the chemsitry from their last season has dissappeared, there is absolutely possibilty getting back gradually, but they're trying to a Manchester City over just two years, and that's impossible.

I'd even say Chelsea, Man United and Tottenham and probably Aston Villa will all finish ahead of Newcastle this season.

We argued about it last season, and I recall telling you that the Newcastle United top four situation was similar to Leicester City's one-season wonder; they took advantage of Liverpool and Chelsea's awful starts last season and didn't have enough squad depth to continue.

They have the money, but not the influence. They will need more than just money to appear appealing. The manager and the project, not the money, usually entice players.

I'm willing to bet that Aston Villa and Newcastle will finish ahead of Chelsea. We're mid table team now. Pre-Klop Liverpool era

Rare W for LFC_Bitcoin in this season’s pool

Brentford vs Wolves
Chelsea vs Crystal Palace
Everton vs Man City

Three games tonight, secretly hoping for Man City to drop points.

As I thought that Newcastle wouldn't show a good performance this season I made a side bet with Hhampuz on Chelsea's finishing the season above Newcastle at the beginning of the season. While Newcastle have been showing a bad performance as I expected with the affect of injuries and suspension as well Chelsea are having a terrible season. I think the in-team friendship is also not very good. Sterling caused his team to lose 3 points maybe by shooting instead of passing the ball in the Wolves match. Even though Nkunku's return will make the team get rid of Jackson I don't think this will be much enough.

[Harkorede]

I'm willing to bet that Aston Villa and Newcastle will finish ahead of Chelsea. We're mid table team now. Pre-Klop Liverpool era

I'll take a bet that both teams doesn't ahead of Chelsea, for 2 mBTC or $100 whichever you prefer, but to be clear of terms the bet, I'm betting that both Aston Villa and Newcastle will not finish above Chelsea, so I win the bet if Chelsea should finish above either of them, not necessarily both them, while I'll only lose the bet if both teams should finish ahead of Chelsea.

Quote me with an agreement response and we do have a bet

Bet terms agreed! for $100 not 2mbtc. CLS63 add us to spreadsheet please.

This dude has no idea how shitty we're and I'm about to milk $100 out of our shitty performance. To begin with, we are losing against Crystal palace Tonight.

I'll bet you 20 USDT that Chelsea doesn't lose tonight against Crystal Palace (draw = bet is off).

[Harkorede]

Even though Nkunku's return will make the team get rid of Jackson I don't think this will be much enough.

Nkunku is not Jackson's replacement, they'll complement each other, Nkunku is SS and AMF at the best of his abilities, and Nkunku-Jackson paternership would be DeBruyne-Haaland esque, I'm not saying they'll be as good as Citizens terrific duo, but they'll be bringing an almost perfection to the Chelsea squad imo.

Agreed!

At least you'll be happier to pay $100 and seeing your team apparently good, but not really the best you had hope at the beggining of the season, and if your team does a poor the rest of the season, you'll get $100 and drink to stuppor with what you made off your team's misfortunate and hope a better next season, quite a good edge I would say.

I focused on removing Jackson out of my squad directly. Because after Jackson's performance so far I thought that if there was Icardi or Dzeko who have been playing in Turkey in Jackson's place Chelsea would have been able collect at least 7-8 points more.


By the way if there is anyone who would like to make a side bet with me about Newcastle's finishing the league ahead of Chelsea I can accept that. I can at least reduce my loss by this.

Please don't do this to me, I know we're shit but deep down I want us to win tonight   I will pass this one.

It seems you are winning the side bet against me. Nothing is working for me and to add more bad luck, I missed a few matches to pick in this round. Go ahead my man.

City is down again. I can hope for them to lose some more points ?

[un_rank]

Three games tonight, secretly hoping for Man City to drop points.

Few minutes of added time left for the first half and City are losing 1 - 0.

It has not been a convincing performance from City this season at all, and I was not so confident when I picked them to win tonight considering the atmosphere that was coming with Goddinson's Park. I was just not going to be betting against the tide on this one.

Brentford have also been terrible this evening, simply handing the victory to Wolves.

[swogerino]

No surprise results for me here except Manchester City which is losing 1-0 against Everton.Wolves is getting the three points easily in a Brentford that showed a good performance when they started the Premier League in the beginning stages and games of the competition,soon after though they are now in free fall by losing game after game and it looks like it won't stop any time soon.

Chelsea drawing would not be a surprise either against Crystal Palace while I am interested to see the second half of City,if they don't win this then for me they are automatically out of the Premier League fight during this year.

...while I am interested to see the second half of City,if they don't win this then for me they are automatically out of the Premier League fight during this year.

We still have the whole second half of the season to go. Even if City losses, they will be just 8 points adrift from the top of the table, and have recovered from similar circumstances as early as last season when Arsenal went 8 points ahead. But if they are going to challenge they would have to play better than they are doing now.
