ooh Saturday night at Wembley again.

Anyone going to the Spurs game on the train will probs need to stay overnight in the smoke brilliant foresight by the PL and Sky.

The scheduling of the Spurs fixture...words fail me.

Thank fuck I'm only paying £5 a month for BT Sport.

Except the stupidly timed Spurs game, all the others are still subject to change depending on Champions League and FA Cup schedules of various clubs!

With the Brighton game being moved we can't mathematically win the league in the derby unless they drop points. We could however become the first side to win the league at Wembley the week after. There's a bit of history for you.

Incorrect, if we win our 3 games before the derby and they won their's we will be 16 points ahead with 7 to play and by beating them would go 19 ahead with 6 to play. If they do drop points before then victory still may not clinch it though if those points were a loss to the Scousers, if we win our next 3 and Liverpool also go 100% then we'll still be 1 pt short even with a win over the Rags. (though our GD would make it all but mathematical certainty)

Quite right. I was thinking we need 15 points but not taking into account that they'd be dropping points in the derby.

Media keep saying it too, and is technically true that we can't win it until Spurs IF Liverpool win every game including at Old Trafford but that is a BIG if. The odds are that a win in the derby will clinch it. How sweet would that fucking be?

I'm sure it's a situation that Maureen would like to avoid but with it being so tight he can't really afford to throw a game so it doesn't happen. I have a feeling that they will drop points though.

The question then is, will the Scousers? A draw between the two would set things up for us nicely

It wouldn't surprise me if they did.
