The title run in...

[G]

Nor do you need to remind me that we were robbed in one of them. Still pissed off about that "pen".

Yes but we we're a tad fortunate in the merseyside derby not to concede a pen in the dying secs.

It all evens out in the end.

We aren't that far off.last season we were virtually bullet proof at home but lost too many away,this season we've been rock solid away but have drawn too many at home.We are improving,we've gone from losing too many to drawing too many.Next up is to be bullet proof home and away,turn those draws into wins and fight for the title to the last day.

Well not really. That would of cost us 2 points, therefore a tie. In my prediction we strangly had an extremely big advantage over Chelsea in the goal difference.

Hence we still win and it doesn't always even out:bird:

I'm talking about reality not your prediction which means nothing unless it comes true!

We dropped two points by losing the peno against Chelsea however we didn't concede a dying sec's pen against blue****e which could've led to not keeping 2 extra points from that game.

Lost 2,gained 2=evened out.

EDIT: Just kidding. You are forgetting the point Chelsea gained from the same, already mentioned, pen.

Eh?

Not interested in what they got,we lost 2 and then gained 2 thats all I'm bothered with.Even if we'd beaten them and got the win V Everton we'd still be be where we are.Its a pretty silly argument to be honest,if we'd beaten this team and that.We didn't beat them,we have what we have and now we must focus on the matches who's results we can influence.We're 8 points behind with 24 to play for.

OK. I will spell it out. Going by my predictor we win a court case and get awarded the points for the Chelsea game because we were robbed. Therefore we get an additional 2 points and Chelsea lose 1 point.

Therefore our amazingly fantastic goal difference is what wins us the league. Sky will even credit us with being a fantas......no they won't, sorry I was making that bit up.

And then Everton sue us for the peno they were robbed of and we promptly lose the 2 points from that game and are back into 2nd place,Ah well,theres always next year

As for in real life,none of the above will happen

How can you be so certain?

If and when it doesn't happen people will go mad over this prediction. First the CL draw, now this. It's a fix, etc...

The only thing certain is the fact there's 24 points left to play for,get them all and who knows.Last month we were 15 behind,now we are 8,who's to say next month we won't be level.

Ahh!. They didn't get the apologies though, did they. So they lose, embarrassing actually when the magistrate considers their case as "frivolent, even bitter, some might say".

[Pacman]

It's going to the wire.

I don't think we'll been in the mix but we could **** Man U and Arsenal up and get even closer.

The next 5 games are going to be tough but this IMO is where we will see how much we've improved.

We could raise a few eyebrows that's for sure.

Everton,bitter? surely not

[Skillz]

Everton,bitter? surely not

No, .........of course not, just unlucky

Highly theoretical questions I know, but...

If by some miracle we did win every game between now and the end of the season and squeaked the league as a result, would that prove Rafa's theory that you rotate early in the season in order to finish strongly?

And, remembering the frustrations of Brum, Reading, Pompey etc, would you then be happy for him to continue to do so next season?

this would leave us on 83points (i think) would it be enough to win it??

dont think so.
