Logic

Doesn't matter if it's going in or not does it? His intent is to make the save. Just like a player can be sent off for trying to injure a player, hit a player etc.

What a save.

Yeah, surf said "if city drop points in either of their games in hand". Based my reply on that. I'm ignoring them. But I still added them in the teams we need to match until the end of the season. But I'm still ignoring them. :lalala:/>

Don't need to win all our games. Win the two against Chelsea and ManCity and match them (and Arsenal) in the rest of the games.

Based on the form in the last six (chosen just because whoscored.com shows it) and current points total the league table will look like this: Liverpool - 86 (pts) Man City - 84 Chelsea - 83 Arsenal - 72 Tottenham - 68 Man Utd - 66 But IMO it's unlikely that we'll have 0.5 pts/game more than our rivals until the end of the season (although in the last 6 that is what we've been doing).

Nope, he right sided. One example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H8drZCnNNY

He'll be a revelation playing as one of the two in front of Stevie.

Based on the form in the last 6 games we’ll end the season on 86 points. The same as Chelsea and above both Arsenal and City. I want to believe (Unless I’ve f***ed up the math that is….)

You're welcome!

To me it looked like a good sliding tackle, where he kicked the ball away, and then they collided. Jonjo jumped in studs showing and with a stamping motion which was quite a bit worse than Skrtel's tackle. Skrtel then kicked out and could have been sent off for that. You do know that tackling is still allowed? And yes, it shouldn't have mattered because we should be able to defend a freekick from there.

He got the ball didn't he? I thought they were both lucky to stay on the pitch. Typical Jonjo "tackle" and Skrtel kicked him in the follow up (however slightly).

It's not the referees job to "not destroy the game as a contest" by trying to keep all players on the pitch for the duration of the game. The players (and managers) are responsible for that. If referees would simply apply the rules consistently during the game irregardless of the time in the game or what has gone on before we'd most likely get a better match because players wouldn't be as likely to make bad fouls in the first ten minutes of the game and players already booked would be a lot more careful knowing they don't have one or two bookable offenses "in the bank" before the ref grows a pair and sends him off.

Check wiziwig.

If I knew anything about bets like that I'd give you an answer. At the moment it looks like we'll end up somewhere between 76-80 points (if our form keeps on as it is currently) and Arsenal look to be heading for 83-84pts. I'll have to figure out how to do confidence levels on these to tell for sure how things will end up.

I'll try to get a look at that later today or tonight. :)/> I added one column to the Win the F*cking Thing™ image. It's PpG needed to match the current maximum points projected for the league winners. If this information is of any use... I'll let you decide on that. :)/>/> (if you spot any obvious errors or layout improvements don't hesitate letting me know where and what those might be.)

Here you go. :)/> Battle for Fourth™: To Win the F*cking Thing™: Projected final points:

I just wanted to look at the team one place above us as I was mostly thinking about the Battle for Fourth™. I could add them if you'd like though.

Since I know how much everyone on here loves stats I put together a small spreadsheet to see where we’re at. In the first image Points per Game (PpG) is used to compare the season total to the required PpG based on the 4th place historical average of 68pts and the 4th place historical max which was 76 pts (I might be missing the last two seasons in this but I don’t think they change much…). The “PpG needed to reach X pts” tells us how many PpG we need in the remaining games to reach each set of targets and then there are columns for how much better/worse teams are doing. Then there is the form of the last 6 games to see if teams are picking up pace or dropping off. A couple of things can be noticed. 1) There are 3 teams who are looking like they’ll go over the average of 68 points of while Utd are pretty far behind right now. Meaning none of these three can afford to slip up the slightest if they’re going to be in the race. 2) Everton are falling off the pace. 3) Our recent form is very good and should be creating some breathing space for us + making us look like at least challenging for the 3rd place if everything stays as it is. The second image simply predicts the final points total based on 1) Season total PpG to date and 2) Current points up until now but with the form of the last 6 games sustained for the remainder of the season. And also puts the final league position based on the latter. Based on the latter Tottenham will challenge us for 4th but Everton will battle with Utd for 6th. Anyway… just thought I share this with you in the hope that maybe one of you would like it. :P/>/> Disclaimer: I was bored and preferred doing this to something more useful like studying… I think the math behind it is correct but haven’t double checked it…

You don't need to complete both deals.
