    If Liverpool win there 3 remaining games, and Newcastle win 3 out of their 4 (assuming Liverpool beat them in the last match), both will finish on 62 points.
    Goal difference at the moment is equal (+13), and LFC only scored two goals more than NUFC.

    So, it's quite concievable (although still highly unlikely) that 4th place will be decided by a play-off match, which, according to the Premier League rules, is what happens in a situation where points, goal difference, and goals scored are equal

    Well considering the last game is between Liverpool and Newcastle, that game is pretty much going to be a playoff type match. Winner takes all.

    have Villa suddenly been kicked out of the league. Judging by Liverpools "form" its concievable that it could end up being a fight between Villa and Newcastle.


    Oh yeah i forgot, bye bye dirty smelly Leeds :D

    I can't see Newcastle slipping up - a game in hand and the easier run-in - the way wolves and city are playing you'd expect newcastle to get maximum points from the next 2 games - I don't think liverpool will. Villa could end up in 5th spot (hopefully they will beat Man Utd on the last day of the season leaving the 2nd spot for chelsea!)

    Newcastles run in is grand except accross the back O'Brien suspended & Woodgate injured. They could be in a bit of bother...I think Bolton will get it :)
