We absolutely needed to win at Newcastle in January 2019, but we lost there. Getting hysterical about what we need to do won't help us. Trust the team a bit more. The title would be in our hands even if we lost the next 2 games, for we can win the last 10.

no, it wouldn't! Certainly not only in our hands as Liverpool have better GD and are outscoring us significantly

As long as we win the last 10 games, including vs Liverpool, we'll be fine.

Again, no need to get hysterical about the next 1,2,3...games. We'll try to win all of them, only time can tell what's going to happen. We'll fight to the end.

Bookies wouldn't exist in the first place if football were more predictable than it is.

Yes they would. Games in a casino for example are very predictable, hence the house always winning in the long term. The bookies aren’t betting on a particular outcome, the odds are calculated to give them a profit margin whatever the outcome.

No, they wouldn't, because football wouldn't be an interesting game if football games were easy to predict. It's precisely because small clubs can beat big clubs (say, Wigan vs City in 2018), that football is a great game in the first place and there's a betting industry around it. In purely mathematical terms, you can build algorithms which guarantee profits for the betting companies at nearly 100 % in the long run, as long as there are enough gamblers. But if football were more predictable, there wouldn't exist a betting industry around it because it would be an extremely boring game.
 
In horse racing terms we might prevail and win the league by a neck or a short head, after being 4 lengths clear, but we’re carrying more weight in handicap terms with Var and the media all in love with the dippers.

Why? If they beat us then we will be level on points but they have a better goal difference. So if we both win all remaining points then it will be down to goal difference!

yes thats a big fear and why we should have taken the point last weekend when we equalised
