all we need is for us to win our remaining 6 games and, at least, have Chelsea and Liverpool draw.
we need Liverpool to at least go 3W 1D is their last 4. Even if Chelsea win out and beat Liverpool we still win by 1 point.

so, if we win all our games, our best hope is for Chelsea to win out. it'll take points off Liverpool, but more importantly itll give Jose belief and hopefully force him to keep playing strong sides in the league (i.e. vs Liverpool) and not only prioritize the CL.

but even if Chelsea and Liverpool draw that's a good result for us.
I'm not really a City fan. I'm just here for attention.

We need to win all our matches including Everton ( a big question mark here) and Liverpool to drop 2 points to Chelski or anyone else and we'll win it !
Mathematically (I love this word when it's applied to football) it can still be done !

Six games left and they are all eminently winable except the everton game. We would need a gargantuan effort to win that one. A good win against Sunderland will set us on our way. Liverpool have an outstanding offensive capability and for the first 30 mins we could have been 4 or 5 nil down !!! Had it not been for some quality defending from Demi it would have been worse. But the last hour of the match they were bricking it and we really should have won. They will brick it again at some point. We won our last six a couple of years ago time to do it again ! We're certainly capable

No. Liverpool need to lose against Chelsea and lose or draw one more game. And we need to win the rest of ours.


Are you sure, I reckon if th epool lose one and we will all ours, we win

I still think we will win the league. If Maureen is still in the race he will get something at boofield as long as the game is refereed fairly.

I think if Liverpool win they deserve it.
They've scored the most goals, they play some great aggressive football, they have a sharp manager and across the two games against us it's been pretty even.
To be honest I'd far rather them win it than Chelsea as they play much more attractive and open football.

As for the penalties then maybe they've had a couple of dodgy ones. But watching them today their movement is so fast and direct that they put defenders into a spin.
There's no other English team we have played this season that have so consistently got at our defence and you could see the impact of this with several last ditch clearances from Komps, Zaba, Demi and Clichy as well as the occasional howler, sadly today mainly from Vinnie.

I hope they don't win and that we do but if they do then fair credit to them.

When Scudamore said that the rags not chasing the title was bad for the PL brand, it was obvious what was coming.
