A few? 20 mins ago apparently we had to win 5 games until you realised your calculations were all over the place.

You're running out of games to say we're going to mess it up.

 

Are you feeding bananas into a flux capacitor?

It is not possible to say that's simply not happening.... the point is that it could happen or it could happen the two after that and Liverpool could win all 4.

 

If we win our home games it will be enough. Tough ask but we have to assume LiVARpool are going to finish on 71 points based on their run in.

 

No there's 18 points left 4 games isn't mathematically correct because goal difference is marginal and could swing.

5 games it's mathematically correct.

 

You’d expect them to pick up 12-15 points, if we take 9 I think we’re good.

 

It's not at all.

We're on 59 points and 72 points will put us out of reach of both teams, so we only need to win 4 and draw 1 to guarantee champions league.

 

Don't forget Manchester Reds are still in this too. I think people are just assuming they are going to finish 3rd.

 

This is the thing it's all theory and guesswork ... ultimately newcastle still have quite a bit of work left before they can secure top 4.

 

Yeah those ****ers will probably lose to Spurs... the only games I ever want them to win they lose

 

It was theory and guess work at the start of the season that City would win the league, but guess work with good odds.

In the same way its now very good odds we'll get champions league.

 

That's 5 games you claimed it was only 4 required so you were wrong .

 

See .

Maths lacking you say ?

 

I agree. This is where it gets dangerous. We have the potential but we also have a Villa performance in us.

It’s not over. Other teams are chasing us.

 

I'm not ruling it out but I'm not counting my chickens either .

Why is that an issue?

 

Wasn't at all.

This was your quote:

"Ultimately newcastle will need to win 5 games and I doubt they will"

We don't need to do that. We need to win 4 and draw 1 and that will guarantee Champions League football even if Villa and Liverpool win all their games.

 

5 wins would make it mathematically certain

4 wins (like you claimed) would not

So your mathematical slant was wrong.

 

Anyway let's just hope newcastle win tomorrow one game at a time..

5th would've exactly be the end of the world anyway imo.

Positivity.

 

I think we will finish top 4, but i wish Liverpool would **** off like.

Come on, win tomorrow and we are nearly there though.

 

The only good thing is at least they only won the last two games by a goal, hopefully we can tonk Southampton so the GD is a point in our favour.

 

Brighton losing is the most important result tonight, they were the ones I feared coming up on the rails
