Knowledge of the result was irrelevant to the question I was posing & the conclusions that could be drawn from the question.

So why didn't you delete the "options" that had already NOT happened? I assume you were wanting to argue against what people had said before the match ended.

Didn't want to argue at all, before, during or after the match. You & others implied you wanted a draw. I wanted a Villa win. I hoped I'd laid out why by presenting the permutations. You may disagree with my conclusion.

If that's not arguing I don't know what is!
"Arguing" isn't necessarily bad. Would you prefer "discussing"?
 
It doesn't matter what the best result for us would be. The result was a draw. They are both a point nearer survival. We have to live with that and do something about getting three points in the match in hand to take us away from both of them.
 
I am totally confused (which is not a rare event on these boards) and when I'm confused I am reminded of this:

That's the second time you've posted that picture, it's slightly troubling that it's the first image that springs to mind when you are confused....

To carry on the discussion, with the hope of resolving the argument, I'll ask your opinion as to which result of the Villa-QPR match is most beneficial to City's chance of staying up ?

I wanted a draw. At this stage it's impossible to tell how well teams will do so the more that are in the mix the better.
 
Because he's obsessed with avatars for some reason, even though he doesn't know what half of them even are.

In a Homer Simpson-esque way, I can now see him watching the film Avatar in the vain hope of learning something, only to be disappointed and even more confused.

Surely a Villa win is best for us.
We'll have a game in hand.
Tonight's permutations result in the following: Assuming there's no 7 or 9 goal hammerings tonight.
(A) Villa win - Villa 31 pts, City 28 pts, QPR 25 pts
(B) Draw - Villa 29 pts, City 28 pts, QPR 26 pts.
(C) QPR win - City 28 pts, Villa 28 pts, QPR 28 pts........Need to win by 2 clear goals to overtake Villa

Results of City's game in hand permutations :

(A). City WIN - they remain above both Villa & QPR ....Pts - City(31),Villa(31),QPR(25)....v.good
(A) City DRAW - Pts - Villa(31), City(29), QPR(25)....good, above QPR
(A) City LOSE - Pts - Villa(31), City(28),QPR(25)....good, above QPR
(B) City WIN - they remain above both Villa and QPR....Pts - City(31),Villa(29),QPR(26)...good
(B) City DRAW - Pts - City(29),Villa(29),QPR(26)....good
(B) City LOSE - Pts - Villa(29), City(28),QPR(26)...tighter
(C) City WIN - Pts - City(31),Villa (28),QPR(28)....unless QPR beat Villa by >1 goal....good
(C) City DRAW - Pts - City (28), Villa (28), QPR(28)...unless QPR beat Villa by >1 goal....too tight
(C) City LOSE (by less than 6 goals) - City remain above both Villa & QPR...... Pts - City (28 pts) ,Villa(28 pts), QPR (28pts). Order depends on tonights score....extremely tight.

Conclusion: Villa Win best situation for City if there was only one game left in the season if City get any result in their game in hand. Probably also the best result for City even with 7 games to go.

Was this a post from earlier? because it appeared after the game finished 3-3 but includes this line.

Confused me

You swap yours every week. Currently the Lizard Man of The Doors. Who will it be next week? Jeremy Clarkson or The Marquis de Sade?

Probably still Jim Morrison.

But as we can change it as freely as we want, I'm not really bothered of your opinion. Your obsession over them really is weird. Though it is funny when you confuse my avatar for someone completely different.
