Iran kills a Palestinian- ‘oh no my heart breaks, thoughts and prayers’ Israel kill Palestinians en masse - ‘there is no genocide against these terrorists’ unreal to read these sentiments

Week 8 Results Motherwell 2-1 St Mirren Oxford 0-0 Burnley Bologna 1-1 Atalanta Monaco 2-1 Montpellier New York RB 1-5 NYCFC Aston Villa Women 2-2 Spurs Women AZ Alkmaar 1-2 Utrecht Atletico Madrid 1-1 Real Madrid Sao Paulo 3-1 Corinthians Benfica 5-1 Gil Vicente Round-up A tricky week to predict for as 7 of the 10 games either ended in a draw or finished with only a margin of 1 goal. That didn't phase 1 player in particular - @RandoEFC who attained 16 points, which took him flying up to 2nd and he is now @Viva la FCB's closest competitor. @Azeem & @Coma also scored well with 15 points each. Another one of the leader's closest competitors is now @Rucksackfranzose, who scored 14 points. There are now only 7 points between 1st and @Tommy in 7th place. Average score for the gameweek was 11 points, so anyone scoring above that did very well.

I've checked the stats and can confirm this is the best week in tipping game history. It's the first time we've ever collectively broken £100 profit and we've done it with absolute comfort as well, largely owing to two very handy wins. I couldn't add to last weeks win - but I still sort of retain that there was good value in the bet I took at 6/1 with Arsenal registering 17 corners and Gabriel himself racking up an xG of 0.49, so a bit unlucky really. Still, at least on the plus side Leicester managed to actually keep the goals out and stop everyone else scoring, eh. Oh wait. Of course we didn't. @RandoEFC rises to 2nd in the table with a second straight win, given a bit of a scare in the unlikeliest of ways as Arsenal nearly didn't win the game, but the corners as stated hit 17 with 6 of those coming in the first half. I have been through @...Dan's bet and was given a dilemma. I've asked about and it does appear some bookies are still settling any Antwerp bet as a void, but I think in these circumstances it's fair to award the win given they have actually been given a 5-0 win anyway. Beerschot's fans pyro'd and got the game called off at 4-0 with 15 left and I've seen this in Belgium before where this seems to default to a 5-0 loss for the club in question. Probably not a bad way of doing it in all honesty. The real clincher here though was Lyon picking up an injury time winner, for his biggest win of the season and the third biggest of the season. The highlight of the week however is @Stan who's bet builder contained so many things that I just simply had to type "Bet Builder" rather than all of the small details. A great pick though, and the biggest single priced odds winner of the season so far. Benfica had an early scare against Gil Vicente but ended up smashing them 5-1. A perfect outcome here, and a game that has contributed to me winning loads of money via acca freeze abuse as well as Benfica landed me one accumulator and Gil Vicente's goal started another. More details on this if anyone is interested. This leaves @CaaC (John) as the only player to play multiple weeks and not yet register a winner. Both selections out again and he's cut quite adrift at the bottom now while 2nd-6th have all become quite bunched together following this week. A decent win from him soon and I think we're in quite sound profit as a collective, which hasn't happened once since playing.

That trailer suggests to me they still have no idea what the final product will look like.

It's been a while, since that happened for the last time. Now we've done it again, nobody predicted a single perfect score.

Yeah, I was reading on Reddit (which I accept is not a beacon of positivity at the best of times) that it looks like they're going that way to chase the number of sales they got through Covid. Which feels unrealistic.

A matchday like many others.
