We have 3 very good chances to win the title at either

Goodison Park
Anfield
The Etihad

Assuming we play at those grounds and not NV.

I think that's about as good as it could get!

All three are places I'd love to see us win it at, but seeing as I can't be there, I think I'd have to say win it at Anfield and for no other reason than the following game against city, they would more than likely give us a guard of honour, which would kill the city fans, so Palace at Anfield for me.

Bet both Man City fans will be gutted they can't turn their backs on Liverpool as their team gives us a guard of honour.

We will - Klopp said himself last week we will be 100% ready. We may not be fully match fit, but we will be way above the levels of other clubs fitness wise.

Like Nick says, others are in a sad state, Kane and De Bruyne look like they have been at the cakes a bit too much. I expected Shaw to put a bit on, but he looks like he's eaten non stop since March.

The break could do us a bit of good too, we looked knackered the last few matches before the league was suspended

I think it will have done us a world of good. The mid winter break seemed counterproductive for u - this is a proper rest and recharge break and they will be dying to get back to games. Everton could in for a right hiding

Yep the winter break was ridiculous that it was only 1 week rather than 3 or 4 weeks, yep looked counterproductive too as we struggled when we got back, players have had a forced break so been able to recharge the batteries & go again.

I think we need them to win for us to be able to win it against Everton. A draw would mean they could still catch us on goal difference.

Arsenal have to beat City for us to win the title at Everton, a draw would mean City can reach 85 points, we have a better GD though, i'd rather win it against Palace, as City will have to do the guard of honour when they play us at there place.

So we'd basically need to lose all our remaining games by at least couple of goals for them to win.

For mathematical certainty, we need 6 points, less the number of points dropped by City in the meantime.

Statto has explained it above: we have 82 points, and the most City can get is 87. So if we only get 5 points, they could theoretically catch us and win on goal difference.

Yep, at the mo we need 6 points, however City draw against Arsenal then we need 4 points, City would still be able to reach 85 points, we'd be on 85 points with a win against Everton, as mentioned we're +8 better GD than City.

City play Burnley the day after the derby, so we beat Everton, City draw against Arsenal & Burnley we'd be champions before we play Palace.

As unlikely as it seems, i have a funny feeling if City drop points against Arsenal, we beat Everton, City drop points against Burnley to make us champions, so City players & staff don't then have to do the guard of honour when City play us.

No chance Arsenal will pick up anything against Man City. Except maybe a thrashing.

That said City are in their perfect environment playing in an empty stadium

Its all academic really.
Liverpool will still win the league even if they dont play again they are that far ahead. City are not going to win every game.
I just hope its not stopped again due to a second wave of the dreaded virus.

Arsenal are more likely to pick up Syphilis at City than anything else, even after the break Arsenal are too lightweight.

It's got a lot of opposition spitting feathers, but it's just a replica. Same as the one I've got on order. Loads for sale on Amazon and they are resin replicas made in China.

Great to see so many exploding heads in the comments of the videos of it. 😎

Red Beret · « **Reply #10311 on:** June 9, 2020, 12:08:20 am »

As much as I want a replica, resin doesn't cut it for me. I'd pay extra for a superior, metal-quality version.

After an extended break like this, I wouldn’t be surprised at anything happening in the first few games back.

City do have an advantage over the rest of the league though, they’re used to playing in empty stadiums.

I would too, but I've never seen a metal version anywhere. Online or anywhere else.

I know there is a company in America that will make a replica of any trophy you want and they are supreme quality, but they cost an absolute fortune. Their European Cup is superb. They are all made to order though.

The Chinese resin ones look ok from distance, but up close they aren't great. I only ordered one as I've never seen better ones produced anywhere unless they are commissioned and made by craftsmen and have the pricetag to match.

You can get good European Cup replicas in metal, but all the PL replicas I've seen are resin.

I have a resin European Cup from Hong Kong. You're bang on, they look great from a distance but have marks and little defects on. It's good for the price of £200, but if you hold it too much the handles can get smudge marks.

It's definitely worth buying for 2-300, as you won't find one anywhere else. You learn to live with the smudges and marks as they are barely noticeable.
