[Football] English Premier League Betting & Discussion Thread

Newcastle will immediately move up the rankings if they manage to collect full points in today's match. But I really don't dare to bet this time. Because I saw too many match results that were beyond predictions. Several draws and also defeats of the underdog team really make us lose a lot of our bets. So I had to pause for a moment. This season is really tight.

Newcastle indeed won the match, collecting all 3 points, and the biggest advantage for Newcastle is that they still have a game at game to play, they’ve played a match less than their immediate rivals for the top 4 spot, If they should win their game at hand, they will move to the 4th position and get within just 1 point behind Nottingham Forest.

I really think the battle for the top 4 will be one that will last until the final day of the season.

Newcastle does have a big chance of being ranked 4th. As long as they win the postponed match they have. And the postponed match is actually not that difficult for Newcastle. Because the opponents they face are not actually opponents from the top teams. But comes from a middle team. Namely Crystal Palace. And in the postponed match, Newcastle was actually also the host. It's just that the real problem is that in the next match, Newcastle has an opponent that is difficult to predict, namely Man United.

Newcastle facing Man united is a very difficult task despite Man united is not in form I guess if Newcastle doesn’t stand very firm with their toe then it won’t be very easy for them even with them being on the top 5. Man united has been facing a really bad season so far things hasn’t being moving so good for them but they kept trying and making things right but I guess luck and commitment isn’t with them. Newcastle need to get this match won just to move forward cause they are on same point with Chelsea and with just a point then Newcastle will be on the top 4 I hope they keep their stand strong and maintain the top 4.

The derby match is over and it ended goalless. I was surprised to see United pressuring and attacking City defense in the second half, while City was busy defending Lolz. I never expected to see United draw this game because of the way everyone was hyping City to win the match. I didn't bother to place any bet because I wasn't sure that City can win United. Both teams shared points.

The first clean sheet at Old Trafford since December 1st, 2024, the first Manchester Derby that ended 0-0 at Old Trafford since 12th December, 2020, and the first time United avoided defeat against City in the league since 2020/21.
Not a great result, but at least United didn't lose. They had opportunities to score, but finishing was off.
United is in 13th place. This season's been a struggle for them, and it's clear they need to step up their game. Better luck next time.
Honestly, as a United fan, I don't ask for much, just put this effort in every game.

Newcastle destroyed Leicester City as expected, it wasn’t a surprise result that Newcastle were able to scored 3 goals in the first half. Leicester City look bad since they got promoted to the Premier League and I did not expect Newcastle to have difficult time defeating them. I bet on Newcastle to score more than one goal, while the match ended 0-3.

However, Newcastle has moved to 5th position after getting 3 points against Leicester to dropped Manchester City down to 6th position, this isn’t a good season for Manchester City, they have to fight against Chelsea and Newcastle in order to secure their position among the top four teams. But let’s see what happens in the next few weeks.

Man City declared their interest in acquiring Lamine Yamal, a 17 year old star of Barcelona:

https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/manchester-city-transfer-news-man-city-in-historic-offer-for-lamine-yamal-report-signings-rumours-gossip-paper-talk-fcb-deco-jorges-mendes-neymar-lionel-messi-pep-guardiola-mcfc

Media reports they are ready to pocket out €275 million, making it the world's most expensive transfer. Yamal has a release clause of €1bn in his current contract.
If that's true, I don't think Barcelona would be able to resist such offer and will probably go with it, unless Yamal is not interested in moving to England.

Yeah, that's great money and there's a likelihood that the offer would not be match by other teams. Even if the kid is a generational talent, I think Barca could still afford to let him go and develop another one in a couple of years. Besides, they have been in financial trouble for years and that payout is going to help the team a lot.

Can you all say congratulations to Arsenal, they made us proud. Even when many were in doubt, they did it exceptionally against the most expensive forwards in the football currently.

Big congratulations to Asernal and their fans, it was a nice outing for them against the all-mighty Real Madrid and in the knockout stage being able to barge 3 goals to none was indeed a great performance for Asernal players, so let's give it up for those players that make that happen and moving Real Madrid out of the way for good.

This was probably the most important part of this victory, not only the final score, but how Arsenal kept a clean game shape throughout the game. Arsenal knew that they were going up against an opponent, known to be experienced in critical situations and they weren’t allowing that to mean anything. They carried a role clean without each one attempting to be recognised in their own. This result proves mental readiness and self confidence as a result of a long process, in a match where all you need is calmness and sharpness. That was not a victory created through luck, but through the structure of the game which was played without fear.

It's a good deal, but will Yamal be willing to leave Barcelona?
I hope not, but we know player loyalty is not the same anymore like Messi or Gerrard kind of players had. These days, it’s all about money, and although Yamal is fast. I’m afraid his body isn’t fully developed enough to be playing physical English football now

Well Arsenal represents all the clubs from the Premier league currently. And Arsenal can be proud because they managed to win the first leg with an extraordinary score. Declan Rice seems to be in full confidence. Because the accuracy of his shots is truly extraordinary. The kick is difficult to predict and yes it reminds us of Roberto Carlos and also Cristiano Ronaldo.

Fear is a factor that makes people lose confidence. I understood that Arsenal did not approach the match with fear, if they did, they wouldn't have won. Real Madrid is superior to Arsenal in all ramifications, so it is expected that Arsenal would be coward to fear but they resisted. Even when Arsenal was winning with 2 goals, some Real Madrid fanatics still believed that Real Madrid will make a surprise come back.

It is funny how some real Madrid players are still existing in the past glory of the club. They refuse to accept the reality that things have actually changed and Real Madrid is actually struggling this season despite the addition of Mbappé.

Yea they really made us very proud as you said, am a Chelsea fan but I must give kudos to arsenal because they really did us good, though I know arsenal as an unserious team sometimes but I supported them yesterday because the match was like England teams against Spanish teams but in terms of general football I love Realmadrid for reason best known to me, I think I observed something in that match which I also have to say, on a general not and neutral ground, Carlo anceloti should stop depending totally on just mbamppe, it is high time they get some new strikers too, that young man can not perform magic, he's just one person and the expectations are too much, he's bound to run out of ideas sometimes that's why there should be good sub, the defensive midfield is not also that active, anceloti better act now or he may regret it later, with what happened yesterday, arsenal will still beat them again.

Your analysis is right on point because both teams displayed unconventional traits throughout the match. Arsenal performed cohesive team plays throughout the match but Real Madrid repeated a single foreseeable style of offensive manoeuvre. The constant pressure put on one player leads to unstable results. Such a large club as Madrid needs additional players because their main attack line requires multiple options. Watching the match makes it clear that it was unjust to pile all expectations onto a single player. The situation has the power to modify the entire rhythm during the game. The current situation requires immediate action of Ancelotti to avoid worsening team prospects.
