From my maths they still can.

Liverpools next 2 games : Bournemouth and us.

City's next 2 games before the derby : Man U and Burnley.

Meaning that after the derby city will have 9 games and 27 points left to play for. They currently have 57 points.

So if liverpool beat bournemouth they go to 82 points. If they then beat us they go to 85 points.

If City lose their next 2 they will stay on 57 points with 27 points left to play for which takes them to 84.

Which if i'm right means that if city lose to Man U and Burnley and Liverpool beat Bournemouth and us they will win the title by 1 point at Goodison.

I've probably worked it out wrong though.

Oh dear.

I have looked at it again and I do believe you are right :(


At least they cannot clinch it beforehand though so the “guard of dishonour” is no longer a thing.

She phrased her question poorly then. Wanted to talk about the RS before Watford and asked "as a Liverpool fan"

To be fair, she always does that. When a team wins or loses, “as a Man Utd fan, who would you feel....,” etc etc.

I have noticed it and always taken it as her asking the Robbies how a fan of the team being discussed will be feeling at that moment. Bear in mind, fans have a different viewpoint from impartial viewers.

I like Troy Deeney, he's a decent player plus he always gets stuck in and is never afraid to ruffle the feathers of the opposition. Thought his finish against Liverpool was excellent, cool as you like.

He’s the key to them staying up. Actually think Bournemouth, Villa and Brighton could be the ones going down now.

Moyes seems to have found a formula now (I think he was sizing up his squad and trying to find the best system for them before), whole Nigel seems to have galvanized the Watford side. Bear in mind, the last guy had lost Deeney too, which put him at a massive disadvantage.

Take back what I said about Michael Keane....Lovren pips him for worst defender in the league. I remember the BBC pundits slaughtering him during the tournament but how on earth did Croatia get to a World Cup final with that mess in defence?

He played against us at Anfield (when we scored two, and should have scored more...Kean missed when clean through). He hasn’t played since (a row of games which saw the RS become watertight again), until Shrewsbury (when they conceded two), and today (conceded three). Deeney targted him and had a field day.

When you have a calamitous figure in the team it has a terrible effect on the others. Pickford isn’t as [Poor language removed], but he still creates panic in defence that this Croatian fella does.

Fuming at Lovren, aren't you mate.
