Who will win the Premier League?

[Tom Halsey]

If City draw against another team it would come down to GD, if they lose; then it is in our own hands.

Needing them to drop points against other teams for it to be in your hands is sort of the definition of it not being in your hands.

LOL, yeh I didn't say it wasn't but saying "even if they won all their games it still isn't their hands" hides the fact that we're talking about 2 points here, and that it's only City not Chelsea that can stop us even in that event. You're betting it will happen too as you've got Chelsea favourites over City.

As an aside, looking at their schedule, I think City would come 3rd.

My dad is besides himself at having to root for Man U on Tuesday

 

[Jarquis]

Can Liverpool just **** off and go back to being **** please?

Yeah but City still having two points to play even if you beat both them and Chelsea is significant because whilst I reckon City will drop points I reckon Liverpool will do too. You needing them to drop two more points than you even if you beat both them and Chelsea (which itself is an unlikely, albeit possible, outcome) means they're more likely to win the league than you.

 

[Tom Halsey]

I have pretty much assumed City will get the three points on Tuesday tbf. Can't see any possible way they don't win handsomely.

So who is going to finish 4th and see Man U win the Champions league and nick their place next season then?

Oh ok, not gonna happen.

Shhh and let me dream.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Shhh and let me dream.

A wet dream is Liverpool finishing 4th is it?

 

[Tom Halsey]

Haha correct.

 

[sledger]

Haha, that'd be like watching your mother-in-law drive off a cliff in your new Ferrari.

I guess we disagree. They're both (Chelsea, City) pretty ordinary away from home and we're incredible at home. They're good enough to do well at Anfield, but in terms of probability I wouldn't bet on it. If we're still in this position when those games come up Anfield will be absolutely rocking.

 

[Furball]

I'm actually leaning towards Liverpool doing it. They've probably got the easiest run in of anyone and have it all in their hands seeing as they've still to play Chelsea and City at home.

Arsenal still aren't completely out of it but ****ting the bed yesterday doesn't help. I still think we're least likely of anyone to drop spastic points the way Chelsea did at Villa or Man City did at Cardiff but constantly getting battered by the teams around you doesn't help.

It's just probability. Say Liverpool are evens to beat Chelsea and City in the respective games (in actuality they will be longer than that, but evens is easier), they're 3/1 to beat both. So really it's pretty unlikely.

Third I tells you!

I am so intrigued in how this will all play out. Very exciting.
