we have two home and two away games to win the premier

[Marcosdeto]

Man Utd 34 80
Liverpool 35 77

we only need seven points to conquer it and that only if liverpool wins their three remaining games, two of wich are as visitors

i think we might do it

liverpools next games:

09 May, West Ham a
16 May, West Brom a
24 May, Tottenham h

Manchester United next games:

10 May Man City H
13 May Wigan A
16 May Arsenal H
24 May Hull City A

i think the key will be to, at least, get a tie against manchester city or arsenal

 

[SharkyMcShark]

They'll win all theirs easily. I think we might hit a snag against City, but I think we'll win it in the end.

 

[kietotheworld]

We have two home and two away games.

 

[Marcosdeto]

We have two home and two away games.

you are right, i'm going to fix it

 

[Sunny Jim]

I'm sure we will get 10 points out of it. City to pick a point against us

 

[Feedingseagulls]

As I said to another supporter in the pub watching the game on Sat - if we'd been offered this situation (2 homes & 2 aways - max 7 pts required) to win the Premiership again at the start of the season, we'd all have taken it!

 

[Diabo_Sam]

win

draw
whatever

I´ll take wot he´s offering

If you fixed the home/away count then you could have had the decency to fix the 'w(h)e' fault as well...

The 'decency' to? What an incredibly pompous thing to say. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't mean to come across like that

[Doevle]

Exciting times. Thank feck for Arshavin.

 

[Name Changed]

I think we will beat City and Wigan. A point against Arsenal then and the title would be ours.

It was a glaring error in the title that stood out like a sore thumb - if someone is correcting mistakes, it makes sense to correct that one too.

At least we now have a thread title using 'decent' English.

PS - did I really need to have added a smiley to my earlier post?

 

[Anduin]

We will beat City and Wigan, West Ham are going to take points off Liverpool. The title will be ours by Wednesday night.

The derby game is the key... win it and the title is almost home again.

I thought about this scenario

Shirley we can't win it at Wiggers 2 seasons in a row?

The City game is vital.

 

[kps88]

That Arsenal game. After a trip to Wigan midweek coupled with an early kickoff. Nervous.

 

[Anduin]

It would be absolutely brilliant to win it there again, just a year after Giggsy scored the decisive goal in his 758th appearance for the club...
Wigan have absolutely nothing to play for, it's the kind of games you are hoping for when you fight for the title. They've been awful since Palacios left, and I bet Bruce would love to see us win the title again...

Get City out of our way and we're almost there... we are good enough to get four points from Hull and Wigan away!

 

[Enigma_87]

If we win against City and Wigan it won't get to that IMO.

 

[kps88]

Yes I know. Just saying if we were to slip up against City, which is quite possible, then that game would be nervy as feck.

 

[032Devil]

One way or another, after Tuesday we should be able to give the Prem games much more attention.

 

[Москва2008]

On current form we're favourites to win each of those games.

Man City - third worst away record in league
Wigan - have scored just six goals since we beat them in January
Arsenal - Potentially tricky but they didn't impress on Wednesday and will have nothing to play for
Hull - league's worst home record (three wins)

 

[CantonaVeron]

All the games are difficult for completely different reasons, Arsenal we could have knocked out of the champions league by then so they will be up for it. City being a derby, Wigan are due something against us and Hull could be fighting for their lives. I still think we will do it though, probably three wins and a draw but god knows in which order.

Yeah, I agree. It could be the other way round though, City have an abysmal away record, Wigan have nothing to play for, Arsenal will either concentrate on the Champions League and don't care about the league or will have nothing to play for as well (in case 3rd isn't possible anymore and they can't slip down to fifth anyway) and Hull could be either safe or already relegated on the last day of the season. I try to think positive, but the fact remains the derby game is the key.
Good thing is we only have to look at ourselves, anything else (Liverpool dropping points) is just a bonus.

Very true and hopefully it is your way round, one thing I keep thinking though is we never do things the easy way.

 

[Number7]

We've had our scares against Villa and Spuds, and our shocker against a rival, in Liverpool. We've also got the recent memory of last years defeat to City.

I think we'll approach City in the right way knowing what will happen if we don't.

 

[charlenefan]

So win against City and Wigan and we'll only need a point against Arsenal to win it........ done deal

 

[redpie]

Tuesday night is key. If we make it to Rome I can't see us not getting the points we need to retain the Prem.

 

[The Azzurri]

Have a naggling feeling it will come down to the last game of the season, although i believe we will win it.
We always make it hard for ourselves.

 

[Romaleouf]

How about we up the ante, do well on Tuesday in the Champions League; win all the remaining matches including the one in Rome

 

[rvn_10]

I recon we'll win the next two games and liverpool will drop points against west ham

and arsenal will give us a guard of honor in their game just like chelsea did

 

[edison]

7 more points (2W 1D 1L were enough) and we are the champion.

 

[Denis' cuff]

I look at it this way:

we should beat Hull and Wigan (a) and then we only need a point from the supposedly "tough" fixtures which are at home.

 

[Diabo_Sam]

The sooner the better, Hull game should mean nothing so that we rest all the first teamers for the CL final if we get there.

 

[Burak1878]

If we win our next 2 games, this is over.

 

[marrakoosh]

Robbie Keane to score the goal for Tottenham which seals Liverpool's runner-up medal.

 

[Escobar]

City and Arsenal will be very tough, but if we'd win against City, it would look very good for us as we could afford to lose the Arsenal game as we really should be able to beat Wigan and Hull. Plus, if we'd progress against Arsenal, we could put the CL final to the side for a couple of weeks and fully focus on the League

 

[tintedsepia]

On another front, Liverpool have to go to West Ham and win. West Ham are playing well right now, compact - difficult to break down - so this is a potential banana skin for them.

I think you'd back us - but (and this infuriates me) there is a tendency in previous seasons to only do a tiny bit more than our rivals. Last season we should have beaten Chelsea more comprehensively than we did - so there's no accounting for nerves.

That said - we have players with experience. Thank Got Anderson is now on form as he's giving us plenty more options in Central Midfield (we can rest Carrick for certain games!) I'd count on us doing it!

Tx

 

[Red-Indian]

City's obviously the crucial game. They'll be pretty fired up and we won't be fully recovered from our exertions in the Champion's league.

If we win that, i'll start counting my chickens.

 

[Classy Cannon]

LFC to win all 3. Us to draw, win, draw & then get a 6th minute of injury time winner against Hull. Would be fcukin nerve wracking, but hilarious to watch the dippers faces on MOTD as they hear the news of our late winner
