Who is going to win the premiership title.

[MadAdey]

Back to the title race. I think it is going to be an interesting final day as I see Liverpool and City going into it on level points, but City have basically got an extra point thanks to the better goal difference.

Arsenal now have had a successful season, they have made 4th and Everton have got 5th sorted

Yep, if Arsenal win the cup as well then happy days. Rubbish manager that Wenger

No one says he rubbish and anyone that does is not very knowledgeable about football. He just needs to sort his team out and have a higher aim for the season that finishing 4th, if I was an Arsenal supporter I would want ot be involved in the title race.

Some do and yes you're right they don't know about football.

We've been in the race but injuries to key players put pay to our chances this year. Happened to Utd with Van Persie and could have almost cost City the title losing Toure , Silva, Aguero etc.

You do need a bit of lady luck as well to win a league.

Without a doubt, you can't go through 38 games to win the title without lady luck being on your side. Look at last week with Gerrard, probably the first time in his career he has done something like that, just unlucky it was in a game as big as that. City had a stroke of luck at Anfield last week and it has probably won them the league.

But saying about injuries and players being out, I just think that is all part of it. City have lost some big players to injuries this season. Liverpool started the season without Suarez and had to play without Sturridge for a few games. THe Lucas injury was a bit of a blow too. Not really being able to play a CB pairing on a regular basis because of injuries does not help either. But at hte end of the day you just have to put up with it and move on, all teams will suffer at some point because of injuries, it then just falls on the rest of the players to pull their socks up when a big player is out.

That's exactly what I do:thup:

As long as we are there competing and we get strengthen next year who knows. We are not as far away from winning the league than some might think.

You have to with football. No doubt some fellow LIverpool fans will see the loss at home to Chelsea is going to cost us the league. I think the loss as Hull and draw at home to Villa are the bad points to drop. But hey ho, who cares we have gone from 7th last year to being joint top with 2 games to go, so I am happy.

As long as we are there competing and we get strengthen next year who knows. We are not as far away from winning the league than some might think.

7 points behind does not look that far, but it is another 3 wins to be fighting for the title. But you never know, a midfield general and a top class striker could be all that is needed to make those extra few points up.

my days been made by the Pikeys beating the **** at the Lane :whoo:

You obviously don't go and are an armchair supporter, the sh!t from the Lane is what Spurs are called, more so by Chelsea, not referring to where they just played :ears:

Amazing the difference changing a single word makes isn't it!

And while I'm indeed more a supporter than a fan - having been to Stamford Bridge as often as Upton Park, and Highbury and Emirates more often - I tend to restrict my expression of other teams/fans (with 1 exception for some reason) to non-offensive descriptions, unlike yourself.

It never ceases to amaze me how otherwise reasonably sane and sensible folk can morph into football fan (aka tribe) mode!

...

No. But they've achieved 1 of their targets. And they will almost certainly achieve another at the end of the season - a profit, like they have for all but 1 year since 1996 (and possibly further). None of the other clubs can match that - nor Champions League qualification every year since 1998/9.

The FA Cup would be a bonus for them.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

We seem to have lost the Liverpool guys from this thread.

Hope they still win.

 

[Hobbit]

City with two home games. Villa, who are looking like they're finding a hint of form - City to win. West Ham, who proved against Chelsea that they know how to park a bus... could this be City's tough one... nah, City to win.

Liverpool @ Crystal Palace. City might just not need to win their last match after this - a draw. Liverpool home to Newcastle, at hatful of goals for Liverpool, hopefully.

There was no bubble to be totally honest. We were as surprised as anyone else to be in that position with so few games to play.

Sorry mate but I don't believe the whole "were just happy to be top 4" rubbish. So basically Liverpool are happy to do something that Wenger gets slated for every year. Rodgers blew it & looks like Stevie G will retire without winning the league.

No we aren't happy with top 4 but it's a huge step in the right direction from finishing 7th last season to being in the title hunt still with two games to go. Anything can still happen but I think city will win it on goal difference now.

Not sure,I wouldn't be surprised if Palace get something tomorrow.

Slight difference though. Wenger has gone from winning league titles to being happy with CL qualification. Rogers has got us back into the CL for the first time since 2009/10 where we finished third not getting to the knock-out rounds.

At the start of the season any LIverpool fan would tell you that 4th place was the aim for the season, but after playing so well, not wining the title will be disappointing.

Doubt he is 'happy'.... Having been a winner 'losing' tends to hurt more... I suspect Mr Wenger is no different to anyone else in this respect... Plus another year he doesn't get paid the full amount of his performance bonus ...

So Liverpool challenge once in how many years compared to Arsenal challenging or being top 4 for the last 15 years or so, yet in the one season they do so guess what, they pipe up and have an opinion on exactly how every other club should be doing it. The amount of Liverpool fans who have crawled out from everywhere this year is quite amusing.

Lets see how next season goes when you have the additional fixtures and travel of the Champions League and hence have to deal with a lot more injuries/resting of players than you have currently, oh and maybe if Suarez decides he prefers the sun in Madrid.
