ARE THESE EPL MATCHES FIXED?!

G'dday tribe,

So I bumped into a Chelsea acquaintance of mine about 24hrs ago. Ofcourse,the recent happenings have humbled him enough that he dares not let his tongue run loose with an Arsenal man like me around.

However, he was eager to discuss with me about something else that he insists revolves around that Arsenal’s loss to Everton on Sunday. He thus, reminded me of something he and his brothers have always been telling me and trying to convince me about.

He continued, saying he told "my brother"(a friend of mine,who's an Arsenal fan) that this match must end up in a draw or loss to Arsenal. And sure he was correct! This my friend doesn't even give a listening ear to this their theory.

This Chelsea guy continued that, the match versus Everton was an early kickoff match and he exactly knows matches at this time(especially for big teams) will end – you need to hear the statistics he has,quite detailed record of matches way back.

What has he been telling me, what is the theory? It is that a lot of EPL matches are fixed! Infact he says,the EPL is not nearly as bad as the Championship. He says in the Championship, one can be leading 4 nil with only 10mins to go and a call comes across to the coach of the winning side and lo and behold the winnings side contrives to do whatever they can and the match ends in a draw.

He says there are powerful Pool playing mafias that run the English game! That's why seemingly sure bet tickets can fail suddenly. The real money bags,big time betters are balancing their books and can take late decision to favour their scheme. He said, the USA top league has sworn that inspite of their burning desire to catch up with the EPL, they will never subscribe to this corruption of match fixing.

He says the real problem the EPL had with Mourinho, was he keeps "tearing tickets". He was too stubborn for these super big time gamblers. Before they knew it, he breaks an agreement– a match that was supposed to finish a draw, Chelsea will end winners under his watch. Mourinho therefore was a regular "offender", so they had to fabricate lies and problems to kick him out.

He said these multi-money bags work with the refs, the clubs and the coaches. He laughed, when highlighting the kind/timing of subs Arsenal made in that Everton match. He said, it was part of a script, that these pool gurus are so powerful.

I've seen this guy correctly predicting the results of matches before they are played, based on how these gurus think.

He concluded by saying,if these unofficial lords of the English game, see something they will benefit from Chelsea and decide that Chelsea must play in the CL next season, they will swing into action controlling things in the background and bingo, Chelsea will land there.

Still a difficult thing for me to believe. I know Arsenal came to the match with an uncharacteristic lack of total desire and fight. This my pal is usually very truthful, hear him please –

One will wonder how that is possible, when the league has gone past the mid-way point and as such it is obvious you don't joke with any team. There was also the issue of Sean Dyche, the new Everton coach, who will surely put up are warring team, dangerous with set-pieces.

What say all ye as per the gross match-fixing theory?

Cheers

Proof?

Next time your mate quotes shit about the English Championship (which I doubt he’s ever watched) feel free to remind him that in the entirety of that league only 1 team has ever come back from a 4 goal deficit and that was Peterborough v Cardiff with the goals spread across a 41 minute period.

Hehe, I'm all ears to take in as much info to shut his mouth. But this particular fact you've mentioned may not do much to him because,his 4 nil example wasn't about a specific match(I think my post looked like it was), it was just random talk to paint a picture of a wild Championship.

Thanks for showing up man.

Cheers

Yeah get him on Hive and I’ll happily debunk any baseless accusations.

I’m not talking about specific matches merely stating that the claim

He says in the Championship, one can be leading 4 nil with only 10mins to go and a call comes across to the coach of the winning side and lo and behold the winnings side contrives to do whatever they can and the match ends in a draw.

Is completely baseless because that has never happened in any match in the Championship.

In fact if you want an even greater statistical fact to prove that claim as the utter horse shit that it is then consider that in the entire history of the 2nd Tier of the English football league I.e. prior to it becoming known as “the Championship”, only 2 sides have ever overturned a 4 goal deficit in the over 70k matches played and neither did it with 10mins left in the game because not only would that be virtually impossible but if you did want to fix a match, the last thing you’d want is to draw attention to the fact by contriving a result in that manner!

Hmmn that's some idea about his coming to Hive. Well he may not be patient enough with the system of earning here. Even me after over a year, it's quite mysterious how getting votes is still some challenge.

Is it the language barrier affecting my clarity? I meant that he wasn't saying that there was a specific match with a 4 nil scoreline,overturned in 10mins. It is not a "claim". He said that,like a parable,as a way of depicting how massive match-fixing is a norm in the Championship.

Ok now we have another responder below that tows same line as that Chelsea fan.

This matter is really intriguing.

Pleasure to have you bro.

I agree with him, remember last season on the last matchday when Manchester City played against Aston Villa, City had to win the match at all costs to be crowned EPL winners because Liverpool was on their tail. I remember writing a post before the match saying the match is going to fix because if City wins the league they will pay Aston Villa 20 million euros in bonus for the transfer deal of Jack Grealish. In the first half, Aston Villa was leading with two goals and it looked like City's title race of over, before we knew it Manchester City started their comeback and eventually won the match. Aston Villa could have won the match but decided to concede three goals in the second half, it was clearly a fixed game and Villa's interest was the bonus they were going get at the end of the season.

Hmmn you draw my mind to that match. I think I remember it somewhat. I suspected that match then, I really did. Do you have some more evidence bro.
Thanks.

Cheers
