Why we will win the league!

I want both us and Liverpool to win our remaining matches. And we pip them by a point.

Look at how the media think it is nearly theirs. Hardly a mention that we have a game in hand. Hardly a mention if we win out then what they do is irrelevant.

Liverpool players, their staff, their fans, the media will be going every week thinking the next game is the one we slip up and hand them the league.

And there will be no better way to silence them for one more week by just turning up, winning and go home.

Then we reach the final day. Like in 2012 when the other lot thought something miraculous will happen. But this time we make light work of it. 3-0 up by the 60th minute at Brighton. The title is ours.

And there's nothing they can do about it.
 
Not worry about the United match, if anyone watch how United play against West Ham yesterday, then you know they won't stand a chance against us.

What I worry is the Spurs 3rd meeting match. We will beat Spurs in the second legs in CL, but then Spurs will know us too well and work on their tactics try to beat us in the league match.

And with us with 1 draw, I think Liverpool will get it, end their 29 years drought this year.
 
I am sorry to say if we beat Spurs and go through this week then the league will be beyond us if we need to win all five fixtures. If we go out of Europe I would think we might well win all five. Despite Liverpool winning today and the entire world having decided they will win their remaining four fixtures I am not convinced.

Cardiff will be fighting for their lives and it would be just the kind of thing Warnock would thrive on putting a spanner in their works. Newcastle away will not be easy and I would not be surprised if they take points of Liverpool at SJP.

Its certainly going to be close but if Liverpool have CL semi against Barcelona it will make it more likely a slip in the league will come...in that respect we are the same.

I have said for some time that winning the Prem and the CL in the same season is now next to impossible for an English club, we will see how close we get but alas I am sorry to say I dont think we can prove me wrong this season.

How are you drawing such a conclusion?

If we beat Spurs in the Cl we go through.

The dips will see to Porto so they will also go through.

Going through makes absolutely no difference to the league situation.
 
Strangely calm tonight. What I realise — but I only realise it now — is that I was much more afraid of us fucking up in some way against Palace, than of Liverpool winning.
What is crystal clear to me is this: for weeks now, Liverpool have had major wobbles in virtually all of their games. Most of the time they get away with it (sometimes not). Call it luck or whatever. Who cares? Since Newcastle, we simply do not have these periods when we look very, very rocky. Even Spurs the other night, was not about a bad period of the match, but about one player, who's had a generally poor season, and who is in any case playing in a position that he was never naturally intended for, switching off for a few seconds, and letting Son into it. I do not see that we were seriously dominated by Spurs for any significant period of the match, with Ederson having to pull off last ditch world-class saves. Palace? They barely laid a glove on us. Ok, the free kick. But my point stands. You simply don't see us being dominated and putting out fires all over the pitch for ten to fifteen minute periods.
We don't look tired, in my opinion. We don't look jaded, in my opinion. Players like Sané and De Bruyne look hungry, and sharp. Sure, we've been guilty of playing certain games at a bit of a jogging pace recently — but still basically controlling the match.
We can certainly win every single league match that remains, and the F.A. Cup final. The Champions League is a somewhat different beast, because in effect you can switch off for ten seconds and go out, because the good teams left will punish you mercilessly. I don't know about that one. We'll see. It's a hell of a season…
Good post, hope you are proved right.
 
Think I could just about stomach another Aguero moment, 0-0 at Brighton til the 90th minute with the Sky cameras showing the Dippers 3-0 up, celebrating like lunatics, giving it the big un, only for Bernado to slip a ball through for Sterling to smash it into the roof of the net from 20 yrs out.....oh could you imagine the frothing at the mouth from the gimps

My stomach is dropping just thinking of it going to the last day let alone the above...
 
I'm just glad it's in City's hands, however nail biting it is for us, they have it worse.

Needing the other team to drop points, with so few games left must be so draining. If we beat Spurs at the weekend, it makes the United game a nightmare for them. If we come out on top after those games, I think that will affect them no matter what Klopp says.

Did you hear the shear unbridled joy in Martin Vilers voice when Mane scored ? Then Spit the dog screaming down the microphone. Then cue Dalglish in the stands going mental on the 2nd goal. It was absolutely gut wrenchingly biased . Horrible bastards the lot of em!

May the footballing gods make it so ...
 
So many said on here how Soton, Spurs, Chelsea will be games where Liverpool drops points wonder what they say now maybe Cardiff and Huddersfield will shake them up?

Its all about our results, and about handling the pressure. The only fact imo is that both clubs handled the huge pressure troughout February-March and April so far in fantastic way winning some games without playing well thats mark of Champions and we did it some games and Pool did it some games.

The the real pressure starts now for us. 5 more league games to win and just one game with a draw and its 97 points for them 96 for us. Even tho imo a 4-1-0 record from last 5 games with 3 being away games is a good return usually given the fixture list.

Immense season as the 2nd placed team will finish around 95-97 points. Unreal and so unlucky to have a rival like that in exactly that season. We only had one PL season with more than 97points Liverpool never had a PL season like this. And one of us gonna lose it crazy.

Going through makes absolutely no difference to the league situation.

Exactly as you say other than as it stands we are less likely to progress in the CL. The lack of away goal concerns me regarding the second leg. One daft free kick such as today and we will be needing to score three goals to go through. Should it go tits up this week it would leave us with just league games to worry about and hence I suspect we will win all five.

I have said all season that which ever team goes furthest in the CL will fall short in the league and still think that might be the case.

I think it will make a telling difference if we go out/or they somehow do and we go through.

A two legged semi final against either Barcelona or Juventus make it far less likely that the respective teams would be able to get maximum points in what may on paper be easy league games.`
