No the "Fk you Mbappe" was meant to point out that Mbappe didn't play at all. I didn't do any research whether it's possible that any of the strikers might be out because of injuries or some rest day or whatever. I think it was about a tooth surgery? But I don't know in detail.

Bologna just ruined my draw prediction with that late goal
Maybe Mafia had their fingers in this match, first half Milan won, and we know odds are huge for Bologna win after losing first half.

Give me a break Snakeman, zero points is hurting me a lot 
Now Bayern can give me hope if they win with handicap, but things are not looking great for me in DOTA question.

At least we got a small early lead after the first four questions, but we might lose it after the Bundesliga match and the FA match between Aston Villa and Cardiff.

Doubting Rashford to score against Cardiff might've been a terrible move for us. I didn't know his odds to score would be this low (2.10), or maybe i'll be saved by the unusual trend we got this early in the round, and Cardiff's goalkeeper plays on another level. 

Thank god for Bologna, I knew something was wrong with Milan and caught it, but still needed late goal and finally I have 1 point. Better late than never I guess

Too bad I am probably gonna lose this one to @Slissy. Yes I got Bologna but you won the Question 7. So I think you also win the DOTA, that means I need to win the last 2 different answers we have and that means needing Napoli to win, and United not to win


That's what I thought. I mean, we all saw how Manchester City could score goals without a forward. Even Liverpool won many games from midfielders, A good team should always know how to score with majority of players. And the thing I was counting on was Arsenals superior quality from setpieces. But 11 corners didn't do anything for them, I think they lost their magic or got figured by teams.

Funny thing about the top 3 scoring teams in EPL, Arsenal, Liverpool and City, in the last 2 games before this most recent one they recorded their lowest shots on goal in their history. I read somewhere, very very strange.


Wow, that's an amazing run, If you bet on correct scores 0:0 it must be worth at least 10x.

PARIVISION, I only picked them because they were top spot, but they look amazing indeed. Never thought to see Liquid and Betboom in bottom.

I am very sceptical about that one. No matter where we put the line it will always be same problem, just expressed differently. Now the defender will play the attacker in with his toe nail. I think offside rule needs to be recreated from the scratch but don't see a good way to do it.

The other three you qouted are actually all good and logical. Those I would implement immediately.

Looking at the spreadsheet, you can see how many have not scored a point at all, including me, so you are not alone.
This is a pretty strange round in my opinion because the results are completely unexpected.
It might also happen with Bayern vs Stuttgart where Stuttgart are not losing, and only a few have picked this.

I'm trying to answer the questions by doing some good research. But even that isn't near enough sometimes.    For example predicting Bologna to win would be really bold. I see there are only a few members making it correct in the spreadsheet.

Yeah, now we have only 3 different answers left while it's still 0-0. I just hope to be the advantageous one at the end. It was disappointing to lose last week despite making a comeback first. I've lost many places after. I really need the win now.

Agree about offside, this thing won't change anything. It will remain contraversial, now just from other side and we still will have question of few centimetres. Don't know how offside rule can be into better side, so I rather would keep it as we have now.
Refs with microphones is something what some leagues already have, like Portuguese league already doing it for few seasons. I think it's great thing.
And referee stoping time won't change anything. If there is major injury or maybe some riots in the stands, game still will be delayed, only change that we won't have 15-20 minutes added time if clkock will be stopped.

Yeah, I also completely agree that the offside rule is perfectly fine as it is, it will still always ball down to a matter of millimeters even if there is a 5 yards distance allowance. My only concern is that there should be clear, conclusive and consistent interpretation of the rules regarding positions like cases of players interfering with plays or not when in an offside, or player obstructing the goalkeeper’s view from certain camera angles and so on.

Bayern Munich have just fallen behind to Stuttgart, I have Bayern Munich to cover -1.5 handicap, probably fooling myself for expecting an easy win from them 🫠
