    Four points behind but with a game in hand and you having to come to our place. It's far more likely that we will finish in front of you.

    thought of including pool in the mix, but honestly don't think you might be in the mix.
    No disrespect meant just an honest feeling, same way I didn't give a chance to goons on 29/12/2013 despite them being 1st then.

    Hope United and Arsenal beat City then can pray for a draw between City and Pool. Anything bar defeat at Anfield and we should be champions. But right now i am not looking past the Palace game, losing to Villa and drawing with West Ham, West Brom has screwed us.

    the way I see it - we should be ok at Anfield. Bigger concern is against the rugby team.

    It's far more likely Chelsea and City will win or draw at Anfield than it is Liverpool will win.

    Palace (A) - Lost every game they've played against top 7 sides. Yes, even United

    Stoke (H) - With two away wins all season and as many clean sheets.

    Swansea (A) - With the 4th poorest home record in the league

    Sunderland (H) - 18th in the league

    Liverpool (A) - Not lost a single game against any other side in the top 7

    Norwich (H) - With the 2nd worst away record in the league

    Cardiff (A) - 20th and likely to have nothing to play for when the teams meet

    Compared to Liverpool who face all of Tottenham, Chelsea and City amongst others. On top of the fact Liverpool are 4 points behind us anyway, but yeah you keep kidding yourself lad <ok>

    The whole lpool for the title thing is baseless hype driven by the media, they aren't really in the title race, and I'm 90% sure they wont win the league, not least because i) in chelsea and man city they play two teams better man for man than them, and ii) they haven't beaten us already this season (nor city for that matter).

    We should win all of our games, bar the Liverpool one where a loss would be ok as long as Liverpool drop points in two other matches (One being against Manchester City and another against someone else). It's just a matter of Man City getting nothing better than a draw against Liverpool and Everton. Manchester United and Arsenal are not to be relied on.

    spot on. but I think we would do well at anfield and might drop pts in against some relegation opposition.

    Everton / Liverpool have more chance to get pts off City than the goons.

    I just wish villa / west ham get into relegation mire to make it even for us and city.

    Conceding for the first time. It is City's and they CAN'T lose.

    No one is there to win IT from them !!

    You can't legislate for a no striker team to win anything. For eff sakes pool has Suarez & Studge and we don't have 1/8 of that fire power.

    Teams like palace would smash and grab against us. No wonder we have lost matches like this against - West Ham (draw), Villa, New Castle & Everton!!

    No more agony for the next 5/6 weeks. We did exceed all expectations, inspite of Jose's first failed full-season with us <ok>.

    ------------------

    Just when I type that - City lose 2pts to goons. Giving me so much optimism. If goons can take 2 pts off City any one can!

    But the bottom line is - can we collect all our 3pts against relegation teams?

    Agony & Hope continues!

    Now

    Chelsea 69 pts
    City 67 pts (2 games in hand)

    this run-in has more twists and turns than six flags roller coaster!!

    Norwich v Pool (77 pts)
    Chelsea (75 pts) v Sunderland
    City (71 pts, game in hand) vs West Brom


    All three contenders can drop points!!

    Still we can bring title home - there is hope!
    We need Palace & Everton to play out of the world and do us a huge favor!!

    We are not totally out of it!

    Current:

    Liverpool 35 80
    Chelsea 35 75
    City 33 71




    Pool / City dropping points is more likely.

    But, big question is can we win all our 3 remaining matches - to make it interesting!

    Most likely it will be decided on GD if we beat Pool!

    There is a very good chance for a 2 or 3 way tie for 84pts!!

    You havent included Citys win over West Brom. You are 11 goals worse than Liverpool and 15 off City, surely you wont make that up?
