There is still a Chelsea-Liverpool game to go

It is kind of amazing Liverpool has yet to lose a Premier League matchup in 2014 and Chelsea is still hanging with them.  It is destiny or something.

So... Liverpool.

[FunkMonk]

I missed it but apparently Jozy Altidore fell down in the penalty area and Borini, a Liverpool loanee to Sunderland, scored the penalty to ruin Chelsea's title hopes.

You can't make this stuff up.

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed; I've seen too many Liverpool teams of the last twenty years slip up against relative minnows...such as Norwich.

Well if Chelsea win their last 3 games they end on 84pt, assuming the goal difference gap of 10 between the two clubs remains broadly the same, then Liverpool would need 7 pts out of 12, so a two wins, a draw and one loss would still win it for them.

Though I can see plenty of pitfalls for each team.

City win their last five games and they end up on 86 points; one slip by Liverpool and it could come down to goal difference. City are strong enough to win their last five games, although as you said there's still some possible pitfalls on their route.

Indeed, though their form, only 5 wins in the last 10 games, is slight worse than Chelsea.

I'm rather surprised that Liverpool are 10 wins out of 10; maximum 30 points. :gasp:

Man did I just fuck Chelsea or what?  I need to stop posting in this thread.

[Tamas]

Fuck this shit

[Josquius]

So first Sunderland drew (nearly beat...) Man City, and now we've beat Chelsea.
You're welcome Liverpool. We just gave you the league.

Though typical Sunderland. We win the games that are pointless to us and lose the 6 pointers.

Lets just hope Liverpool return the favour and beat Norwich

[Josephus]

Liverpool made me sweat, but they pulled it off. Almost home now.

If Man City win all their last five games, then Liverpool would still need 7 points out of 9 in their last three, that assumes Man City maintain their greater goal difference.

All the newspaper are reporting Moyes is set to go, possibly tomorrow or when it best for the markets.

[Ed Anger]

Does he get to keep that stupid Chosen One banner?
