Socialist ethos ??? Chucking pensioners out of their long held homes to make more money yet mentioned in the same breath as Shankly in this garbage.
But of course they never mention them... in their usual "pretend it didn't happen" brazen yet dumb insolence.

Socialism to them means calling people Tories on Twitter and putting Labour in their bio.

Liverpool will drop another 4/5 points. A couple of draws and they could be sunk.

Guardiola knows what City have to do: match Liverpool and lose no more than another 4/5 points from the last 8 games and they win it...and GD may yet still play a part in this.

The last 8 matches, btw, have seen City pick up 21 points and Liverpool 16.

The bookmakers have Liverpool second favourite becaise of that. I put it at evens or Liverpool slightly odds on.

I'll take that though, because just after Christmas this looked a done deal for them.

Yep. I think they relish being slightly behind, suits the hypocritical dichotomy they have going of proclaiming themselves the greatest club of all time but also making themselves out to be the pauper underdog in any contest. They’ve had a couple of big results as well when their title bid was on the line recently. The premier league want the scenario of the Manchester Derby deciding the title in Liverpool’s favour.

In fairness that includes City United and us away. They don’t have any games nearly as difficult as those left. I’m hoping Southampton can do something against them and potentially Spurs also.

Newcastle is a guaranteed three points as Rafael is a disgrace against them, Wolves will be on the beach too. Chelsea seem in disarray.

Que sera, sera.
 

Strange that Liverpool are picking up all these mysterious, WWE type injuries during the international week. The latest being Alexander Arnold, who has now pulled out, hmmm.
of course the Scottish captain has already cried off, with a "dental problem", what's the bets he will have new shiny Klopp like teeth, when he next plays for Liverpool.

Hendo Henderson is probably miffed that their medics don't value him enough to concoct some spurious injury to keep him fresh for them instead of playing for England. On the other hand, perhaps the Special Dispensation Committee has told Southgate not to play him anyway.... a la Salah with Egypt.

Yes. I dont expect Liverpool to lose 8 points over the remaining 7 games. However, it is likely that - bogged down in probably four more CL games - they'll end up dropping 4 from the available 21.

If that's the case then City can afford to lose 5 points from their remaining 24 available and still win it, providing they keep ahead on GD.....they've dropped three points since Boxing Day: 11 games ten wins, 30 points from 33.

Yes, their run in is more difficult on paper, but City have had trouble this season mostly against the minnows...3 of their 4 defeats came against teams outside the top 6.

I still make Liverpool favourtites, as I said. But the stats point in the opposite direction.
 
I am saying City will lose one and draw two of their remaining matches. Going for a loss to United, and two draws against Spurs at home and Palace away. Estimate they will end on 91 points with about a +65 goal difference.

From Liverpool's games, I can see them drawing at least two of Spurs/Chelsea/Newcastle/Wolves. Let's say they remain unbeaten but draw 3 of them four and win the rest of their games - City win the title. That would put Liverpool on 91 points but likely rather comfortably below City on goal difference.

Would love them to lose the title on goal difference.

After the final whistle of the season that would be dream world stuff. But I'd prefer they lost it before the final game.

TBH - I'd never bet on them to win a trophy and profit from it - but if they're about 7/4 to win the title then that's good odds to win a few quid.
