It would need Blose and BBurn to get results Wigan and Bpool to win both thier games and us to conced a boat load

can some one come up with a the results that would put us down, i think we are mathematicaly safe
Quote from: hawkeye on May 07, 2011, 07:35:24 PMcan some one come up with a the results that would put us down, i think we are mathematicaly safeIf we lose 4-0 at Arsenal and 2-0 at home to Liverpool we stay on 42 points and our GD goes to -19.If Wigan win their two games 2-0 and 3-0 they land on 42 points with a GD of -18. i.e they finish above us.If Blackpool win their last two games 2-0 and 2-0 they get 42 points and a GD of -18 and finish above us.If Wolves win all three of their games they finish on 43 points, also above us. That would need Wolves to beat Blackburn, and Blackburn would have to beat Man Utd and keep their GD to less than -19 (currently -14)to finish above us. So if Blackburn lose 1-0 to Wolves and beat Man Yoo 1-0 they will do it. If Blackburn beat Wolves, then Wolves can't catch us but we could still be overhauled by Blackburn, Blackpool and Wigan and take the third relegation spot.If Blackpool had lost tonight they would not have been able to catch us. But they got a point, so they can still make it.If Blues win one of their remaining games and their goal difference stays at -18 or better, they also finish above us.It is mathematically possible, but unlikely and we would be the unluckiest team ever to go down if it happened. We could do with avoiding a heavy defeat at the Emirates next week just in case.

We'll draw 0-0 with Arsenal and fuck up any fleeting hopes of the title for them.
