[NZBlue]

Last season's final Premier League Table

1. Chelsea (93 points)

2. Tottenham (86)

3. Manchester City (78)

4. Liverpool (76)

5. Arsenal (75)

6. Manchester United (69)

7. Everton (61)

8. Southampton (46)

9. Bournemouth (46)

10. West Brom (45)

11. West Ham (45)

12. Leicester City (44)

13. Stoke City (44)

14. Crystal Palace (41)

15. Swansea City (41)

16. Burnley (40)

17. Watford (40)

18. Hull City (34)

19. Middlesbrough (28)

20. Sunderland (24)

We've now overtaken everyone up to Everton (who qualified for Europe don't forget) so we can hope for 7th at least!

74, 84, 88, 78, 68. 77, 78. 73, 70, 80, 78, 79, 83, 83, 83, 85, 86, 85, 71, 89, 78, 84, 79, 86

Just a reminder of the points finishing 2nd in the PL, 89 is the best (we should remember that one), then the next is 88, then twice at 86.

16 From 16? Are you high?

Starting to get a bit ridiculous on here. We'll be going into whatever game it takes to win the title with people saying "yeah but if we lose this and the next 4 by an average of 0-5 and Chelsea win every game by 10 goals they can still clinch it."

They are a very good team. Great result for us tonight.

And what if there's a world war before we can achieve the necessary points total? The Donald has an awfully big button, after all. They might suspend the season if everyone gets nuked.

It was,indeed. Was worried about Chelski putting a run together. Lovely to see another couple of points dropped. Good game too.

No problem just rearrange the games in North Korea.

Win at Liverpool and it's over. Won't be easy. Expect VVD to make his debut.

United are away at Spurs the following Week.

I'd rather play them with him making his debut than when he's settled in after half a dozen games

Didn't Vidic make his debut in a Derby and he was all over the place

That’ll have my a nervous wreck for weeks if that happens. Don’t want to be going away to Southampton last game of the season needing a win !

 

[give & go]

everton qualified for europa on 61 points
we have 62 points we play thursdays coz we are fucking shite

 

[Thorin Oakenshield]

Can they beat Barcelona in your opinion?

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

We would have to afford defeat at anfield before it’s even a remote possibility for me.

Alot has been said about that anfield game and how we might get beaten there but i am very much confident of getting a result there this time, it will be like napoli away, tough but we,ll come on top in the end

There have been many many better teams in the PL and not one of them has gotten close to winning 16 in a row other than ourselves.

Due to a malfunction with my brain I thought Huddersfield was the last game if the season not Soton away. I'll not get a ticket for the south coast game and will also be away for the FA Cup final should we get there.... really fucked off.

As a general question as I'd hate to curse us, does the trophy get presented at the last home game should a team have already won the league or is it always on the last game of the season?

Fairly sure it would be the last home game

Fairly sure it would be the last home game

That's what I wanted to read but I seem to remember the rags bring presented with the trophy at Everton a few years ago when they'd won it a couple of games previously.

Suppose it'll be what it'll be assuming we manage it.

Can they beat Barcelona in your opinion?

Definitely

 

[supercity88]

Good result for us last night. I still see Chelsea as more of a threat than the rags. We are in such a good position though and that helps take pressure off the big games which should mean better performances.

We all looked at Anfield as being the toughest test but as much as they have a great attack they also have a poor defence. We can control the midfield battle, particularly if Silva plays, and will create chances. Yes they will have theirs but I see no reason why we can't beat them. We are due a win at Anfield and this season is the year we will get it.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

After Chelsea not winning last night who I think are our closest rivals, I will guess around 83. But I believe we'l get around 92. CTID
