Sunderland, Burnley, Palace in the bottom 3 without the first weeks fixtures being completed yet. They would have been my 3 choices to fill the bottom 3 spots after 38 rounds of games never mind 1!
Still can't figure out the Hull 1st goal today, watched a good few replays in slo-mo and it looks like a double goal-scorer to me. One bookie was paying out on both players involved in the bicycle kicks, Lads I think from looking at their results. Paddy Power and Boylesports both have Diomande only as first goalscorer, although live tv claimed Hernandez!
Haven't looked at others but it looks a pretty cuntish move if both guys connected at once, it's not like they would have had huge liabilities on either or in that market at all compared to overall liabilities for the 1st round of the seasons games.
Goodwill gesture for the first game of the season and plenty of free advertisement paying out on 2 guys to score the 1st goal? Head PR people must have been off today methinks!

I have always been hesitant to consider the Premiere league the best league in the world but this year it may be for real as the new coaches will, without doubt, bring some real fireworks. As for Guardiola, he made Spain win the world cup and so he did for Germany last time..

It's funny how in the last two years City have been really short for the title really early on and then out they bounce.
Looks even more interesting than last year at the moment. Liverpool quite clearly want to win by scoring more than anybody else.

Certainly looking very much like the side of 2013/14 when their moto then was simply to attack and score more than concedeEuler wrote:Looks even more interesting than last year at the moment. Liverpool quite clearly want to win by scoring more than anybody else.
I know PW and myself enjoy the relegation market, does anyone else trade this?
I think Palace are a huge price, and could be worth a nibble.
Sunderland v Swansea
Palace v Hull
Swansea seem to have the wind in their sails, so will fancy a win at Sunderland. Hull are top price of 4.2 to win at Palace
However, 2 away wins there are more than possible - that will leave going into the final day
Palace 38
Swansea 38
Hull 37
Palace are away to Man Utd on the final day
Swansea home to WBA
Hull home to Spurs
Hull would need to beat Spurs due to their goal difference, but Chelsea will have won the league by then, so will have nothing to play for. If they beat Tottenham, then even a draw at Old Trafford probably won't be enough for Palace

Premier League 2016-2017 Relegation Prediction Via the Shot Conceding Metric
Posted on: January 31st, 2017 by Jonny Grossmark
Posted on: December 5th, 2016
In the table below I have added the teams that were in the bottom 3 re the conceding shot metric in the Premier League ( bottom 4 2014-2015) to show that there is some correlation between conceding shots and being relegated which appears to be a logical conclusion.
What is of further interest is that teams that have been in the bottom 3 in a season with regard to shots conceded and have not gone down have found that they have in general been relegated in subsequent seasons.
Sundererland and Crystal Palace in the table below are the only 2 teams to have not been relegated in that time period .
In terms of the bottom three this season re shots conceded <> Burnley , Sunderland and Hull
To be relegated
Hull 4/11, Burnley 8/11, Sunderland 5/6 , Swansea 10/11 , Boro 4/1, West Ham 6/1 , Palace 7/1
Summary
Crystal Palace at 7/1 fit the profile of a relegated team in terms of the shot conceding metric with Hull, and Burnley likely to join them .

I'm waiting until Swansea have drawn or beaten Sunderland on Saturday. If Sunderland win I'll be break even but even happier.
Vs Hull...Palace should be back up to full strengh at the back next week and when they are, they've been great (excl vs Real Soton of course).
They can score too (9th highest, Hull only 18th) Hull are also the leakiest team in the league at 1.91 GA per game. A +18 GD over Hull, even after losing 5 to ManCity, should tell the tale.
A nailbiting Redandbluearmy 3-1 win....if this game matters. But if it goes to the final week Palace are down.
Palace always make life hard for themselves and with that lucky good spell and a tough run in, the huge odds a few weeks ago (100+) were just too good not to have a small nibble at.
The last time Palace had a 4th year in the top flight was 1973 !!!
