And force us to [have] 92 points to win the league?
Will the dippers win all their remaining games?
- Thread starter Fortitude
- Start date
Probably.
The maximum they can get is 86.
I expect West Ham to put up a fight against them (fighting for the last UEFA cup spot), and maybe Tottenham but i still expect them to win their remaining matches.
They certainly have a good shot at it.
They'll drop points at Upton Park.
Every one of the big teams has struggled against West Ham away this season, and they struggled against West Ham at home, so I think they'll draw 0-0 there.
Think they'll win the rest though.

That's Europa League to you
Don't care if they do. It's down to us if we win the league, not them.
I reckon this will happen, whilst we may drop v Arsenal.
Just depends really on how many points each side drops.
Liverpool beats West Ham and they're in a shout for 100% to the line.
Probably not.
If you take any random 3 PL games that Liverpool have played this season, more often than not they would have dropped points in one of them. Infact, their recent run of results aside, they've only won 3 on the trot on one occasion this season.

Boro was our toughest game on paper. We've won that and I can't see many slip ups from now till the end of the season.
It and all, anyone who feared a boro result from that match are having a laugh, don't give a shit about history or big nose or the Riverside, we weren't going to lose that match.
Still reckon Arsenal will be full strength and want to put on a show
I'm worried about the bitters and Arshavin with le arse.
Still nervous as feck. If we perform like we have in recent weeks then game over, the trophy will deffo be ours again. Having said that City will be up for it and on the day the Arse can beat anyone. The away games will also be tricky
True. I was thinking more along the lines of if they do it, we will not ease up at all and will end up 'having' to match them.
Our toughest game on paper, against the team with the worst scoring record in the league?
I know it was sandwiched in between two tough games but then so is the City game, and well, it's 'Boro.
They're even more woeful than normal this season.
If we win our next 2 games a draw will be enough for the Asnl game, and thats not considering Liverpool drop points at West Ham
They'll struggle at upton park.
We've got city and wigan coming up, both very winnable games. Win both and the title's ours, can't see us losing against arse and hull.

Yes, they had something to play for and our record has been a bit patchy at the Riverside over the last few seasons.
Thankfully we're playing them at home. City'll up for the derby, not sure about Arsenal.
West Ham is their only difficult game. The others are formalities.
Aye, but then the same could be said for us at Ewood Park and Fratton Park, and we won there easily in both games.
Past seasons records mean nothing considering how poor all three of them have been, need to put it into context.
We were always going to beat 'Boro with ease, wouldn't be so sure about either of the next two.
It's about what we do mainly.
After Arsenal we have no more distractions, thus a full strength lineup every game.
City will be a good game, but I reckon we'll have too much.

It's up to us. We play one more game than they.
And I think they will at least drop points against some opposition.

Not really, West Brom is perhaps a easy fixture on paper they have nothing to lose and may go at them. Tottenham could be a tricky game, Keane may feel he has a point to prove and really fired up for it
I think both us and the vermin will get maximum points until we win the title and then we'll both start dropping points.
Their obvious banana-skin is West Ham but I have a funny feeling the baggies might surprise Liverpool.
Then there's Spurs.
Absolutely no surprises in their last 2 victories but they'll be asked more questions from here on in.

Well, we've done well. That's the great thing about United, we can always dig in when needed. We've had some difficult fixtures after CL games, but it hasn't stopped us.
I think he means we will win our next 3 games (so we win the title) then lose or draw against Hull while Liverpool draw or lose vs Tottenham on the last day of the season
Spurs will get a point against liverpool.
Whatever happens to them should not get our focus, we should win our games and we'll be alright. If they drop points its a bonus.
They will easily win with West Brom and West Ham, I can't see them dropping any points with these teams, especially when they are out of Champions League and are still in the race to win Premier League.
However, I can see them dropping two points at home to Tottenham in their last game in the season, if we win the league earlier (and I hardly believe we will). Spurs are in the battle for Europa League, so match against Scousers will probably be the most important = no Europe, no money.
West Brom - win.
West Ham - win.
Tottenham - draw.

I can see West Ham possibly posing problems for them, Upton Park isn't an easy place to go and Liverpool did lose there last season so we can hope. Even if, at the end of the day it doesn't really matter whether they win all their games or not as long as we take care of our business. 7 points from 4 games is all we need. Liverpool can win their remaining games 5-0 for all I care, if we get the required points then we'll not be stopped.
i think City will beat us but we'll beat Arsenal
No, we'll do another Pac man job on City and their celebrity fans.
They will drop points,just where I have not figured out yet
Correct, we've lost before after we've won the title... the Scouse might still have to fend off Chelsea to the end though so might not take the foot off the gas until the end.
A Scouse lass goes to the doctors and says: "Doctor, doctor, my fanny keeps talking'!". The doctor leans down and sure enough, the fanny says: "Liverpool will win the league this season!". The doctor turns to the women and says: "It's a common complaint, lots of stupid cnuts are saying that at the moment"
