[QUOTE 3065245, member: 30090"]Man City still need to win both their games if we beat Newcastle, but yes the above maybe a but premature.[/QUOTE]
Not entirely accurate. If Liverpool beat Newcastle, City need 4 points, i.e. a win and a draw to win the league, unless Liverpool beat Newcastle by 9 goals plus the number of goals by which City beat their opponents in the game they win.
City are favourites, but it is far from over, anything can happen; factors that might influence the outcome could be City complacency, alternatively the pressure getting to them, or even Villa or West Ham being so chilled out having survived they put in a master performance and beat City.
This season has been amazing so it how can anyone take anything for granted?

I checked the odds last night, City 1/14, Liverpool 8/1 and Chelsea 300/1.......think I'll have a tenner on Chelsea, you just never know

It's entirely possible that Liverpool will knock 9 past Newcastle. The defending I've witnessed at SJP this season has ranged from abject to chronic.
Have you already lost that 8 quid you won on Gilbert. They'll be doing defensive drills on my lawn next season.

Maybe true, but they need 11 if City win one game by a single goal and draw the other.

Brings to mind that story about when England were pretty much dead in the water at Headingley and a couple of the Aussies noticed the running news board quoting odds against England of 500/1 and thinking, well, a two horse race is a two horse race, and at those odds, on the basic principle that 'yer never know...' they each put £50 on England to win.I checked the odds last night, City 1/14, Liverpool 8/1 and Chelsea 300/1.......think I'll have a tenner on Chelsea, you just never know
(Incidentally, out of curiosity I just went to check, and the odds are now ranging from 175-200/1, so I guess a reasonable number of people must have been thinking along those lines.)

What are the chances of Norwich beating Arsenal... and, if they do, beating them well enough to counter a 13 goal deficit should Sunderland lose to West Brom and Swansea after their heroics against Man City, Chelsea and Man Utd... dafter things have happened before!

West Ham's aggregate score against City this season is 1-12. Liverpool fans should place their faith elsewhere...
