Realism.

Come on now.

Jeez not a word out of BERBA, he only seems to come in here to mouth off on that rare occasion that Spurs are actually doing well.:pac:

Liverpool still favourites IMO, City have United, Villa, Arse and Spurs all to play in a row.

Never doubted Pool all season tbh.

Villa have the same points as Liverpool so if you want to say realism, it's realism to not include Liverpool then.

Ye have the same points as Pool alright.

But realistically Pool are much much more likely to challenge for 4th, in fact I have them as favourites for the CL spot

Ye are going to finish 7th, if not 8th. Theres more chance of Everton pipping ye to 7th than ye finishing 4th tbh.

I admire and understand your optimism, but I disagree heartily with it.

I always had a soft spot for Sunderland

Now for Brum to frustrate Pool then roll over against us next week.

Looking at the table and the run in, I think Spurs and City need to be more than 4 and 5 points ahead, with the same games played. Villa and Liverpool will make up that gap with an easier run in.

Spurs, you silly boys. You now need results against the top 3, I'd say at least 4 points, which is just ****ing stupid! Going to be very very very very tight now.

Yep, looking at the run in, I'd put them 4th favourites. City Away as well, ideally they'll draw and let Pool in!

Former Great

Well lads what u reckon now , im still confident of liverpool doing it..I think they l win all there remaining games and hopefully hand utd the title by beating chelsea....:)

flahavaj

Manchester City

Still think Pool will do it.

they've gained apoint on Spurs but slipped two further behind City.

City will drop a lots of points in their remaining games, they're pretty much all tough matches.

And Spurs looked tire against Sunderland, they'll drop at least 6 against the big 3 IMO.

Tough matches maybe but most are at home and considering City's home record then it's reason enough to be positive from a City point of view. City can definitely win 3 of their final 6. And we seem to up our game when we play big matches. Of course we could still **** it up but I'm more optimistic now than I have been in recent weeks.

Mancini worries me to be honest and his over defensive nature.

Plus we have to bear in mind this is City and City will always find a way to make things as hard for themselves as possible.:pac:

Either way this is going right down to the last day of the season i think.

Will be an epic last day.

Yikes, I'm just seeing City have United, Arsenal, Villa and Spurs to play. The other 2 games are Brum and West Ham, the latter of which could be scrapping for their premiership existence come the final day.

Wouldn't be surprised if they were to only get 3-5 points out of that run in.

'If' City take 9 points from their last 6 matches, which is very possible considering 4 of those 6 matches are at COMS, then even if Liverpool win 4 of their last 5 they will still be 1pt behind. Is Liverpool's form that good? Personally I doubt it.

They may not have to the way this race for 4th has gone. I expcect both City and Spurs to drop a lot of points in the run in, they both have very hard matches coming up.

clearly nobody wants 4th at all. we've had our collapse, spurs dropped the ball at the weekend, so its bound to be city messing up next. liverpool have just been consistently inconsistent - theyve never really put together a run like the other teams have, but theyre still in the shake up

says more about how overrated the premiership is as a whole than the quality of liverpool imo

City will mess up because its in their DNA to do so.:pac:

As you say it says a lot about City/Villa/Spurs that they've failed to capitalise properlky on Liverpool's general awfulness. They should be dead and buried long ago.

Bounty Hunter

how many more points can Liverpool realistically afford to drop between now and the end of the season and still have a shot at 4th? because given their form over the majority of the season it wont be zero pts dropped.

Yet the chances are the 4 teams will be in or around the 68 point mark. Madness.

As Flahavaj has repeatedly pointed out, it's City's at the moment to throw away or fcuk up:D

or hopefully get!!!

Exciting, nervy games ahead

everdead.ie

A lot of people mention how bad Liverpool have been this season but what struck me is that there terrible form in the champions league gave the impression of a much worse season then they have actually had I remember they had a kak record something like one win in ten with most of the defeats being in europe and the league cup. There main problem is just there inconsistency in the league.

As a united fan I'd love to see spurs hold onto 4th but I think city will just edge past them

Id like to see the Spuds get 4th this season and Im an arsenal supporter.

And I'd love to see them draw Barcelona in the group stages!!

Spurs would be my preference too. Pile the misery on the Scousers and slow down City's inevitable progress.

Ye if it came down to city and liverpool i'd probably want the scousers to get it and keep the fat spanish waiter in his job, city could attract some proper star names if they got 4th

I am really torn if it comes to a straight choice between City and Liverpool tbh.

Obviously City getting it speeds up their development, but its hard to go against a lifetime of enjoying the Scousers' misery.

If you put a gun to my head I'd say I'd rather City get it, simply because they're going to get it eventually anyway, if not this year then definitely in the next few.

Torn myself, obviously as a city fan I want us to get it but have secondarily followed the pool 'cos of husband. Would be hard to enjoy any champs league football next year with him looking on all forlorn-like:eek:

I spit coffee over the keys of my laptop, thanks!

But in all seriousness, love to see Spurs get it. Mainly because Spurs have played some nice football this year, I quite like arry as a manager. Wouldnt like Man City to get 4th because, well because they are a small club who just got megabucks from nowhere to buy themselves success.

Aaaand finally I wouldnt like to see the pool get it because they have played utter cack this season and if its a choice for RTE/TV3 to show Arsenal champs lge games or Pool games, they will always go with the Pool. Plus I detest watching them play, theyre horrendous to watch.

Yes, a lot of non related football reasons there!

I can see where you're coming from but to be honest I think the longer liverpool have benitez the better, if they were to get a better manager I think they could potentially be a very good team compared to the shambles of one they are this year

There is no better manager that they could realistically attract IMO.

God, I hope so...........
This champs league business could turn out to be a marriage deal breaker, would be a shame after almost 20 years and 4 kids, but ya know, club b4 country/marriage!!!!!!:D

Seriously tho', hope we can do it even if I did comment watching Barca the last night that I wasn't sure if I wanted to see City ever play against them:eek:. Scary prospect!!

Rafa is undoubtedly a talented manager his record at Valencia and Liverpool proves that but he has completely lost the plot this season and I feel a few of the senior players are starting to turn against him, just look at gerrard's reaction when torres was subbed today. With the current ownership at the club it would be difficult to attract a truly top class manager but surely they can do better than benitez ?

I do enjoy a good aul rise every now and again, but in this case I'm 100% serious.

For all the abuse Liverpool fans give Rafa, I can't think of a manager who'll do a better for them under the current financial restrictions than he. Straight up.
