Rags v Dippers..... who do you want to win?

[TheThirdDeano]

Neither. A draw for me please big guy.

 

[Bill]

I would imagine the immediate answer is the Dippers.....and understandably so.....
... but here's why you should want a rags win.....or a draw....

This assumes everyone wins their games..apart from when they play each other..obviously

As it stands

City P 29 Pts. 78
Rags. P 29 Pts. 62
Dippers. P 29. Pts. 60
Spurs. P 29. Pts. 58

After the next round of games...if the Rags win

City. P 30. Pts. 81
Rags. P. 30. Pts. 65
Spurs. P 30. Pts. 61
Dippers. P 30. Pts. 60

The dippers then play on the 17th...but nobody else in the top 4 does

City. P 30. Pts. 81
Rags. P. 30. Pts. 65
Dippers P 31. Pts. 63
Spurs. P 30. Pts. 61

After the games around 31/3
City. P 31 Pts. 84
Rags. P. 31 Pts. 68
Dippers P 32 Pts. 66
Spurs. P 31. Pts. 64

7th April. You beat the rags to win the league


City. P 32 Pts. 87
Dippers P 33. Pts. 69
Rags. P. 32. Pts. 68
Spurs. P 32. Pts. 67







Now....if the Dippers win


City. P 30. Pts. 81
Dippers. P. 30. Pts. 63
Rags. P 30. Pts. 62
Spurs. P 30. Pts. 61

The dippers then play on the 17th...but nobody else in the top 4 does

City. P 30. Pts. 81
Dippers. P 31. Pts. 66
Rags. P. 30. Pts. 62
Spurs. P 30. Pts. 61

After the games around 31/3
City. P 31 Pts. 84
Dippers P. 32. Pts. 69
Rags. P. 31 Pts. 65
Spurs. P 31. Pts. 64

7th April. You beat the rags and are 18 Pts clear of the dippers who play the next day....but mathematically you haven't won the league.


City. P 32 Pts. 87
Dippers P 32. Pts. 69
Rags. P. 32. Pts. 65
Spurs. P 32. Pts. 67






...and if the Rags and the Dippers draw

City. P 30. Pts. 81
Rags. P. 30. Pts. 63
Spurs. P 30. Pts. 61
Dippers. P 30. Pts. 61

The dippers then play on the 17th...but nobody else in the top 4 does

City. P 30. Pts. 81
Dippers P 31. Pts. 64
Rags. P. 30. Pts. 63
Spurs. P 30. Pts. 61

After the games around 31/3
City. P 31 Pts. 84
Dippers P 32. Pts. 67
Rags. P. 31 Pts. 66
Spurs. P 31. Pts. 64

7th April. You beat the rags to win the league on 87 Pts

City. P 32 Pts. 87
Dippers P 33. Pts. 70
Rags. P. 32. Pts. 66
Spurs. P 32. Pts. 67


So...assuming all team win their games...... a rag win, or a draw....enables you to win the title at the Etihad against the Rags......

Here's hoping

I couldnt care less about when we win the league as long as we do.
I always want a rag loss. If they were playing a talksport 11 or Trump team id want them to lose.

 

[TravisBickle]

Has to be the draw.
Having the chance to win the title against Utd with 6 games remaining would be up there with the Aguero last gasp winner.

 

[Vienna_70]

Rippers.

Dags.

Game postponed till end of season. Both need a point for forth place and Liverpool twat them.

 

[Bluesince1979]

I honestly dont give a fuck who wins this commercially manufactured “biggest game of the season”.
In the grand scheme of it this season, who ever wins the El Pathetico (stole off another thread) will have no bearing on us being crowned champions.

They are often dull afairs which leave very little for the press to get themselves giddy over and long may it continue !

 

[Ric]

Can’t bring myself to want United to win any game, so would prefer a draw or Liverpool win. Not really arsed either way though, but think United might edge it. Their home record is still pretty good.

 

[Gazza]

Its brilliant being in a position where it doesn't really matter who wins El Hasbeenio - but its always good when United lose.

Hope the dippers win so they can push on for the 2nd placed trophy to go with there we beat man city trophy.
But yes hope the dippers stuff them.
