Finally, Arne Slot is brought back to the ground, I couldn't bear to watch Liverpool in injury time, I was sure we would even concede a second. Guess we all might as well give City the title. Again.

Oh and Bournemouth-Chelsea, 14 yellow cards (not even counting 1 for Enzo), the 13th already breaking an 80-year old record, I heard the commentator say. And we thought United-Arsenal would forever be the spectacle of bookings. Nkunku of course scores, and what the hell was that celebration? Haha. What's the punishment again when a team gets more than 5 yellows? Or is it just a fine?

So yeah, I don't know, it's been 10 years but I was emotionally invested in him as a kid, I haven't really gotten over him hahaha.

Well deserved hate my friend- I have Mount in the same group, invested my emotions into that bastard, the club gave him the best football moments in his career , had one good season and started demanding more than his value. That bastard went for money and hasn't kicked a ball for 70mins ever since.

Then you know the hurt. I saw you mentioned above Mount was offered 200k a week -- wow! And he thought that wasn't enough? I don't remember the numbers we offered Sterling back then but he was a teenager, and we were prepared to make him a record offer. Liverpool never paid big wages but we were ready to break the bank for him. A kid! To earn more than Carra who was just retiring, imagine, and he thought it was not enough. We put him on the stage. Rafa saw something in him, Rogers trusted him with senior games... and yeah, he got big-headed. I remember he even went on some interview that the club knew nothing about and shat on Liverpool.

Anyway, yes, still wish him the best, but I am sure he always looks back. I hope he always does.

That was a great game to watch. By the way Cherries were killing Chelsea and I have no idea how they haven't scored. Probably just because I had both to score on the ticket. They even missed a penalty and hit a couple of woodworks.

Finally had time to properly watch some of the games. Wife isn't happy but I had a marathon today, second half of United, then a mix of Liverpool/City/Palace then whole Villa and whole Chelsea games  That is what a proper Saturday should look like.

[notblox1]

Damn what happened with Liverpool today against Nottingham?
I didnt watch the match, but they ruined my great ticket on Sportsbet, I said I wont add this low odds anymore and I did it again  
Very poor performance for me this round in superbru, last two matches are my last hope.

Chelsea is a mess of a team, and they wasted so much money this season for nothing.
But look at poor Everton, this guys are going down to Championship super fast.

Anthony tried all possible best to make more money to the FA - the new rules are joke -  refs can make a decision and players can't even react about it or speak to them about it. I miss those days when players would talk in faces of refs for being a pussy, now you dare not. Just play and don't speak.

I remember Sterling was only 17 or 18 back then I didn't know about his contract situation with Liverpool until now. Crazy scenes...

The moment they turned a shitty Sanchez into a prime Buffon I knew they were done for. It feels good to play shit and still win. 

[slaman29]

I guess next City and Liverpool will lose and Everton will be top of the league again lol

You're right Liverpool are back on the brink after Nottingham Forest beat them at Anfield. And Manchester City are still being carried by Haaland.

Brighton seems to have started to falter again? Against Ipswich still struggling even though they control everything and even more annoying is Liverpool in the Superbru Pot all guessed wrong.

Man Pep must be sleeping hard at night wondering what happens if Haaland is injured or gone.

Brighton? I don't know, I saw they should have won, but like I said, Liverpool or City was bound to lose.

Everton! It must be even feeling worse than Southampton and Ipswich to be getting such bad results.

Best feeling in the world lol

He makes goal scoring look so easy. For a league that has had so many great goal scorers he still somehow blows everyone's mind with his stats. Whatever they paid for him, it was a steal of a price.

I think Sean Dyche may secretly like the thrill of the nerve racking relegation battle so he sets up his side to fail, only to recover in the second half of the season.

Newcastle 3rd in Premier League 
This was an impressive comeback for Newcastle and win against Wolves in last 15 minutes, but they ruined my prediction in superbru  
I had terrible performance in this round and I dropped hard in leaderboard with worst result and wooden reward.
Congrats Arallmuus 🔥

Thanks guys

You just need to have a lucky streak of exact scores to help you climb the leaderboard.

As for my case, I was unexpectedly lucky....



I actually forgot to put in my prediction for the week and missed Southampton - Manchester United game. It took me less than 2 minutes to filll the rest of it because I was about to hang out and yeah my points were rubbish for the first 6 games then somehow hit 4 exact scores..... pure luck for some reason

[darbitmobilerecovery]

So, another year for me fighting in the top poistions of this pool in the early stages? First one ended up in second place losing it by one points, and the past season ended up in a disaster and outside the paid spots in the last rounds. How is gonna end this year?

I still have my hate to one team who always find the way to fuck my selections, and that shit team is Crystal Palace, what a peice of crap they are.

3 exact scores is not lucky, you could have done it on the spin but they were great picks regardless. The 3 you got wrong were the most difficult to predict this round. Great job buddy.

The Newcastle game gave me my second correct score of last week and also was the final game in a bet I had, so it was a good finish to the match week. It did not help that almost everyone else got the correct score for that final game.

Very funny guy, I still don't get why he gets appointed to officiate Chelsea games, it's not more an agenda but a proven fact that he has something against Chelsea.

Giving out 14 yellow cards on field was outrageous and I think he broke the record for the most yellow card to be given in the premier league game.

Glad we won this one and I was shocked we couldn't score more although glad we won because we almost lost points in this one. Still confused why all the praises was been given to Sancho from the match going fans or are they just trying to troll Manchester united. He still got the man of the match award.

The assists wasn't that great, it was the goal that came from no where that was great. Sancho winning the man of the match just made things worse for United fans, their players always turn out great for us when they switch to the blue side but we sell them flops. Good game overall and glad we got the narrow win.

Yeah, Pep is the man and Haaland is the tool. Every day that passes by I wonder if the dude was a robot programmed in goal scoring. If it were in video games i would say it is a cheat code or game manipulation. Although if para venture Haaland is injured Manchester City would still win their games but won't have many goals in all games.

Haaland mostly builds premier league stats but the real win is with the team.

You must have missed the memo mate, Haaland is a robot. And he got an upgrade this season. He is exactly like FIFA PC Zidane piroutte cheat. You could use the autokey for that move and even goalie can score goal from his box to the enemy box. What is 'para venture'? Are you using translator?

It looks like you fixed the result of the last four matches. Imagine if you know it was going to happen and staked some huge amount for the result of these matches. Overnight you could be a robbing the bookmakers LOL

Unfortunately, the FA does not take fan pleas seriously; there is an evident agenda, but Chelsea would need to appeal to the FA with sufficient evidence of misconduct and bad officiating against him and hope it does not backfire. Anthony Taylor is part of the carbal, therefore it would be quite tough to get him out of the way.

He could be using some some ass translator - a new member on the thread.

Lol, it would be easily over 100x odds if I parlay all those. This is the moment where we all yearn the time machine to turn back time huh lol

That last 4 matches was really a lucky break for me this round. In fact when I checked my points after saturday games ended, I never would have expected to hit exact on the other two games as well. I was happy to collect 9.5 points by satuday and I thought it was good enough for a round with no research on the games at all

Let me help him out,


Speaking about haaland stats, anyone noticed that guy is almost never caught offside. I know he has some calls but the amount of goals he has scored running from behind defenders and yet he still has less offside calls make we wonder what other strikers are doing that they get caught 99% of the time being offside.

Manchester city were doing great without him and will still win games without him but Pep just need a dependable striker that he can count on to score goals that's why he bought him.

Pep isn't a coach that uses a typical striker before now for his games so Haaland injured or not, man city still wins games.

Good notice about Haaland, I wondered if it was true and I saw his stats now: https://www.statmuse.com/fc/ask?q=how+many+times+has+erling+haaland+been+offside+all-time

8 times in first season, became 6 times in last season and so far now only 1 time. I compared with Salah who has way more: https://www.statmuse.com/fc/ask?q=how+many+times+has+salah+been+offside+all-time

But I think need to compare pure 9 vs pure 9, but couldn't find the rest. Salah has to be both winger and striker at times, so has less eyes to watch backline, while Haaland only has that pure job to do. Very impressive nevertheless, but it shows you that Haaland is single purpose machine that needs a lot of gears behind him. His performance in Dortmund, City, Norway over the last 5 seasons proves this.
