Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread

So after last nights humiliation away at Wolves, I move on to tonights games. I think I'm going to have to support Aston Villa against Chelsea. I just need Liverpool to finish in the top 5 and get CL football. Hopefully Chelsea just continue to drop points because under Slot we are not going to go on a long winning run.

I will be cheering on Newcastle against Man Utd too but I am not feeling very confident about that one. Carrick seems to have found a way to get them winning.

Funny; Chelsea thrashed Aston Villa and Manchester United lost to a to 10-man Newcastle United I honestly didn't see that one coming. I told you Aston Villa is the enemy here and by weekend they'd off our hairs for good. Not a very good midweek for Liverpool and Manchester United fans- It was the best I could ever ask for.

Biggest disappointment was Manchester city dropping two important points at home to a fucking Nottingham Forest to hand over the barton back to Arsenal

It was crazy to see that Manchester City could not win against Nottingham 
This was one of my worst rounds in Premier League this season, and I only collected 2.5 points from.
I am doing everything I can in this competition but I am not moving from mid table in leaderboard.

I was really worried about this midweek's fixtures, Brighton away is always tough while Forest visiting the Etihad usually leads to one outcome. Brighton were tough as I expected, they outplayed us for long periods and there was a big element of luck in our goal. A strong defense like was familiar in the first half of the season pulled us through, if we can recreate some of that form in these final matches we have a big chance to win it.

I did not see the City game but the stats showed they dominated the game but the shots on target were almost split evenly and Forest scored very good goals. An inverse rabona, back hill is an inventive way to score. That draw keeps them above the relegation spots, for now.

Chelsea were very impressive, Joao Pedro is starting to look like an elite CF You know what, I think you will push PSG close in the CL.

We were pathetic against Wolves but they only had 2 chances and scored both, so annoying. We have Spurs at home next, we just have to win that.

Aston Villa go away to Man Utd so at least one of those bastards will drop points.

What a frustrating season. Both United and Villa lost, the loss against Wolves makes it just more frustrating.
We could have been in the top 4 now.

3 of our last 4 games are United (a), Chelsea (h) and Villa (a), some kind of a buffer will probably need to be created before then if we want to make the top 4.

Bookies have us at even odds to make it, I think we fall a bit short. Villa can save us though - they have been terrible lately.

They stopped 3 bad weeks with a good win against Villa and interestingly they did this when away.

Liverpool did not play well on matchday this time even missed in the final minute was unexpected when their focus on attack is precisely what became a catastrophe. It's just that against Spurs on Matchday later it won't be as scary especially with what Spurs did today which was destroyed at Crystal Palace. Spurs are like clowns for the EPL this season.
But before focusing on Spurs it should be that Liverpool will avenge their defeat yesterday in Round 5th FA Cup before they are in the Champions League.

We only need our manager to stop acting stupid and stick to playing Palmer in the midfield, behind Pedro and let him cook. He is an upgrade whatever toys we've had over the years.

Did you watch the game against Arsenal? The new manager almost ran mad on the touchlines, he spent the entire time shouting at his defenders and midfielders trying to manually position them in his head but they were all physically, psychologically and mentally dead especially the VDN guy- he's a walking corpse at the back.

I maybe be wrong about many things but you see this guy right here ? Is the problem of Totteham football club; they lost today all thanks to him again and this happens all the time. They need to get in Big Sam to save them from relegation cause I don't see anything stopping them now.

[leea-1334]

Oh man guys,,, Tottenham is sinking worse and worse. Newcastle can get a man sent off and then come to win the game. Tottenham lose a man, and we lose 3 goals it is like we have no logic that if you lose a defender then you please try cover up.

Now we have to go to Liverpool,,, I see no way we can even fight for a draw like this.

Why though? West Ham, in 18th place, are just five points behind. If we assume Arsenal doesn't pull off their biggest flop of the season and still wins their game against Tottenham, and West Ham has a lucky home win against Bournemouth, then Tottenham's gap to relegation will be reduced to two points. This is a distance where everything can turn upside down in literally one round - I'd call it a fight for survival. But of course, there was more irony in my first comment.

And now, two weeks later, Tottenham is just one point away from relegation, and I would say that Tottenham's dynamics are more negative than those of their competitors. Last year their 17th place finish looked like "they decided to win the Europa League" and it was a smart move, but this season... I don't see how that can be justified yet.
At Polymarket, Tottenham's chances of relegation are already estimated at 36% https://polymarket.com/event/epl-which-clubs-get-relegated
It's both funny and sad.

[slaman29]

Have not checked in here for a few weeks and fun to see everyone shitting on the same clubs lol

So far I've avoided betting on teams like MCity and Liverpool so I am safe from a lot of bad bets but Tottenham Hotspur wow, I'm going for them hard on Superbru and still losing everytime. Relegation, hmm, remember a few years ago Aston Villa also made big headlines. Never relegated and finally did. Time for another.

Don't worry, still losing money with dumb Barca bets

What looked like bad joke from Arsenal fans few years back now it's more similar to reality. Imagine Arsenal winning EPL and Spurs relegating in the same season. Not sure which thing Arsenal fans would celebrate more heavily .
I know guy who bought tickets to Spurs - Wolves game in the end of April. Initially he was afraid that it will be boring game as Wolves will be already relegated. But seems that it might be one of crucial games for Spurs.

As a Liverpool fan, it has been a pretty miserable season. Possibly the most annoying group of players I can remember and most irritating manager is about to win the league.

There is one thing that could give me a smile during the season and that is Spurs getting relegated haha. No matter how crap your team is, you can always count on Spurs to be worse

Totteham to be relegated is 2.8 odds at the moment, it was 4 odds before the game against Crystal Palace and could be 1.50 if they get trashed this weekend. How the mighty has fallen 

That aside; what is A. Slot going to tell the Liverpool owners if he fails to qualify for the CL next season after spending half a billion British pounds?

COVID-19 stopped Lewa from winning the 2020 ballon d'or; there's only thing that could stop Arsenal from winning the PL & CL this season.

I'm also not fan of Arsenal and their style of play and I see only positive thing if they will win EPL. I know some good guys who support Arsenal and most of them never saw their team winning EPL. They deserved to see it after all these years.
While Spurs, I had sympathy for this team maybe 15 years ago when they had players like Modric, Bale, Defoe, Robbie Keane, it was joy to watch them. But when you see team going in wrong direction eventually all sympathy is gone.

I guess you and me both hoped and prayed for Villa. What a way to capitulate though. I still think Villains run out of steam in the final quarter... while Chelsea is as bad as us. Profligate when it matters, and prolific when we don't need to.

Thanks for jinxing Carrick. Like the guy, but not Manure.

Cup game tonight and still 0-0. Did I learn my lesson to stay away from Wolves and leave them out of my tickets? Is the Pope married?

I was just talking about it somewhere else, last season we were also near the bottom with Manchester United but we had great games, we score many goals but just were very unlucky with close games and in the end we ended with 18 points above relegation.

This season is very bad, the feeling is bad, the fans are angry,,, and we are not 18 points, not even 2 points, while teams below us can play very well.

I cannot tell you how sad I feel. My whole life I never saw us this bad.

The atmosphere last season that Tottenham experienced.

Now your team is in the same position already approaching the relegation zone just a very little difference below it... even so I'm not sure Spurs are out of the Premier league, who knows this season they are still saved.

I know how fans feel when their team continues to slump.

Sure? Your team was poor last  season too; different manager, same position. The Europa league also helped.

The best the club can do is refund those home tickets for the shameful displays since last season.

Leicester City saved them from sinking last season, they didn't survive on their own, this season is different, Westham and Nottingham Forest are picking up at the right time to sink Totteham further.

Winning the league surely. I am not a local so the rivalry will not run as deep but even them will celebrate winning the league a lot more, spurs relegation will be an icing on the cake. I am sure I saw a video once of Spurs fans saying they would rather get relegated than watch Arsenal win the league, both may just happen all at once. Long way to go still before anything is decided.

I still do hope they stay up, 6 guaranteed points each season is too good to pass on

Sure. It was bad last season nobody is saying different,,, but it is much worse now. If you read the club news and club pages, you see actually less angry fans but more sad fans.

I read about a guy who started going to matches since he was 3 years old, he and his father,,, and they never ever felt like walking out of stadium but this time, last game, they said the situation in the stadium was so toxic. Fans were actually fighting with each other. If you cheered, other people were booing you. He and his dad walked out because they were being abused.

This is different. Something is very toxic at the core now.
