Why we will win the league!

[Stoned Rose]

We're not getting that chance at the moment with us being behind on games. We win on Wednesday, they get the chance to go back above us for at least 9 days with a win at Southampton. Until we get the United game in hand out of the way, we're likely to be playing catch up

If we don’t get any points on Wednesday we’d be behind with the same games played mate.

Not sure what you’re struggling to understand?

 

[no chance]

well , if it gets to the toon away game. we will never lie down for liverpool . that is for sure

 

[northwichblue]

Its the game against the scum im worried about, under normal circumstances we'd hammer them but with the league and the quadruple at stake they'd be doing their best to stop us.

It’s the Palace game that worries me. We’ll be well up for rags and spurs and should win the other games. Palace are a weird team and can beat anyone on their day. Pretty much on 40th anniversary of Hillsborough too.

Good thing is we play before them in every game before our game in hand, meaning we'll never be 5 points behind them, assuming we win our games.

Please God, let us win this league. The way the spitter and their ilk are performing leaves a really unpleasant taste. Even the hairy one is now moaning that he is a s good as Sergio, hahahaha.

30th?

Palace game is same day as the bindippers play Chelsea same results as 2014 would be nice

 

[marco]

there will be some bizarre results in the run in,they have Southampton on Friday which i would say will be a harder game for them than the spurs match,our game with Cardiff should not be a problem but nothings guaranteed, we really could have done with spurs holding on yesterday, that game in hand or 3 points clear would have made a massive difference, win our 7 games and they cant stop us

Palace have only had 10 such days out of 31 this season.

1 of them being the anomaly against us and 4 of the other 9 being their games v Huddersfield and Fulham.

They’re shit and any team worth their salt, needing a win to maintain a title push, should be seeing to them.

we shouldnt have any problems at palace but teams do raise there games like they did against Liverpool 3-2 that year, 7 cup finals and take each one as it comes and fuck them and what they do, i'd love to win this on goals, that would really fuck them off

 

[Mancity1980]

They are really busting a gut to get these victories, we are strolling through them. That says it all, the law of probability means they SHOULD eventually drop the necessary points, if they don’t then fairs dos to them but I suspect it may be to no avail and the stress might bust a few Klopp blood vessels and create a few scouse coronary conditions.

 

[manimanc]

The mickeys will end up drawing 10 games. I've seen it in the stars. They won't lose another game but the draws have killed them and they'll draw a couple more before the end.

Time to remind everyone ...
Keep calm and go re-read the very first post ;)

We’ve got what it’d take ... and they don’t. So take it easy, we’ve got this!

Quite a lot being made of Liverpool having a much easier run-in. I think it's overstated. Assuming we beat Cardiff (yes, I know should never assume anything, but let's go with that for now). then the following fixtures are left (grouped by comparable opponents, rather than chronological):

Palace vs City
Southampton vs Liverpool

Liverpool vs Chelsea
City vs Spurs

Burnley vs City
Cardiff vs. Liverpool

Brighton vs City
Newcastle vs Liverpool

City vs Leicester
Liverpool vs Wolves

United vs City
Liverpool vs Huddersfield

The first 5 groups are all comparable. The only clear advantage for the Scousers is the last one. Makes it even clearer that win at the Swamp and we very likely win the title. And given our record there and that we are a better team, no reason we can't come out tops there too.

Finally, there is GD which could come into play if (say) we lose 1 game and Liverpool draw one. Assuming we match Liverpool on GD in the first 5, it is very unlikely they can overhaul our overall GD advantage - would have to beat Huddersfield by 9 clear goals (assuming we win by 1 at the Swamp).

Agree first five groupings are similar, where we have a huge advantage is

United vs City
Liverpool vs Huddersfield

We are going to be thrashing the fakers while they have a huge challenge against a team which has nothing to lose.

And also we should be wanting revenge for them beating us .
