Thanks to @Kopidol76 for submitting this scenerio on how we can still qualify for the Champions League, far-fetched? Well, football is a crazy sport.
The ratio of madness to seriousness is probably 60/40…
Ok 70/30…
Hmm maybe 80/20…
Ok 90/10 but I can’t be the only one trying to work out how LFC can claims 4th spot.
Very unlikely, but how cool would this situation be? >>>
- Spurs lose to Man Utd and City, beat Bolton but draw away at Burnley on the last day of the season
- City lose to the Arsenal, lose to Villa then beat Spurs and West Ham
- Villa beat Hull, draw against Birmingham then beat City and Blackburn
- Liverpool, of course, win their remaining 3 games ;o)
This would mean all 4 teams finish on 68 points and the final positions are sorted out by Goal Difference!
Here’s a very optimistic prediction for this scenario:
Pts GD Pts GD Spurs 64 28 LFC 59 24 Man Utd (A) 0 -2 Burnley (A) 3 +2 Bolton (H) 3 +3 Chelsea (H) 3 +1 Man City (A) 0 -1 Hull (A) 3 +2 Burnley (A) 1 +0 68 29 68 28 Man City 62 27 Villa 58 13 Arsenal (A) 0 -2 Hull (A) 3 +2 Villa (H) 0 -1 Birmingham (H) 1 +0 Spurs (H) 3 +1 Man City (A) 3 +1 West Ham (A) 3 +2 Blackburn (H) 3 +2 68 27 68 18

What odds on that? Gotta be worth a cheeky fiver?
Maybe it’s time for the medication and a little lie down!! :D
