Magic number is 9. We need to get 6 points and Arsenal need to drop 3 in order to take third.

I expect Arsenal to get at least 4pts but probably all 6pts.
City's chance was at the weekend but threw it away at Everton!

Tricky one to work out. The roughest of calculations say it's around a 15-25% chance. That's being very optimistic about us winning both our games.
As noted, there is zero, nil, no chance of catching Chelsea. Well, not exactly. Newcastle are three wins in fifteen. Fifteen to one to win that game. Say Everton are 3 to 1. We would be no better than evens to win both our games. That's a 90 to 1 shot. As the pressure on them to win increases after the first defeat, I would say it's well over 100 to 1. (That's a zero probability in my book!)

Fucking hell, have we got to play against Stoke AND Bolton in the FA Cup final? Against 22 men we have no chance :-(

Wonder if those who cheered at coms when the arsenal v scum result was announced might have a change of heart and think about us first next time. I was bemused by the reaction as those 3 points could make all the difference.

I will be a Villa fan on Sunday. If they can pull off a victory there, 3rd is in our hands. It's then up to us to win our last 2 games. I can see it happening too. Arsenal look lost at the minute, with no confidence at all.

There seems to be a lot of city fans who are delighted to see united lose, even at city's expense. United were never going to throw away the title, so we should have been hoping for them beating Arsenal, painful though that may have been.rickmcfc said:Gelsons Dad said:Wonder if those who cheered at coms when the arsenal v scum result was announced might have a change of heart and think about us first next time.
