EPL Matchday 33

[WealstoneRaider]

No chance, chelsea have been piss poor this season

Wolves are a bigger chance than Chelsea, but like I said providing they best Watford tomorrow they’ll be focussing on the cup final. It’s just all falling into place for Liverpool, but they say you need good fortune as well to win the league

 

[Blueboys11]

I think Liverpool are now in the box seat. Look st their last five games - should be a piece of cake. I don’t fancy Chelsea at Anfield and Wolves on the last day, will be in the cup final and focussing on that. City’s run-in on the other hand is tough, very tough. To take the title they will have to win every one of those games and I don’t see that happening at all

Wolves potentially playing for a Europa league spot in the last game?

I think the win over us and the victory tonight has put them as favourites. I thought one of those two matches they would drop points, but like a machine they keep going. They should start dusting off their trophy cabinet

Until City actually drop points you have to have them as favourites. No one has got near them of late

They’re not winning all those six, I’ll put a bet up on that.

If Wolves win their semi they’ll be in the EL because surely City beat Brighton

Does the FA cup runner up get in?

Chelsea always save their best for liverpool.

Most important game of the season

Does the FA cup runner up get in?

Yes, if the winner is already qualified for Europe

 

[Blueboys11]

According to the betting agencies, Liverpool are a 1.57 chance of beating Chelsea. Let’s assume they are $1.20 chances for the remainder of there other games. That means they are a 1 in 3.5 chance of going through undefeated from here. Even if they got through the Chelsea game they would still be a 1 in 2 chance of dropping points amongst the other 4 games.

I’d imagine City’s odd would be similar to go through undefeated from here.

There will be dropped points somewhere

 

[peternorth]

Liverpool also have a tendency to drop points to lowly teams

 

[Blueboys11]

Yes, if the winner is already qualified for Europe

Has this changed for this season as from what I can find it simply goes to the next best qualified league team rather than the loser of the Cup.

This likely helps Wolves anyway but there is still a chance they may need something cone the final day

Not any more iirc.

Interesting to see if Keita cops a ban for his blatant dive.

Does the FA cup runner up get in?

Runner up no longer gets a place in Europa if the winner is playing CL.

I wonder what happens to EL qualification if 5th wins the CL (possibly Spurs or Utd) and 6th wins EL (Chelsea - a good chance of happening) and the FA Cup is won by Brighton with Wolves finishing 7th.

I didn't realise a player having his legs taken from under him by a defender nowhere near the ball constituted a dive these days.

 

[moomba]

Expect we'll drop points in at least one match. Liverpool's draw is easier, but I think if they win the lot they'll win the title.

4th place goes to Europa
Brighton go to Europa
7th (wolves) go to Europa

I guess I’m wrong. Maybe it changed...was it Stoke that got Europe as runner up in FA Cup a few years back?

 

[Zidane98]

Yes runners up dont get European qualification any longer. That I am sure of.

Expected this notification and response.

 

[Zidane98]

Expected this notification and response.

Probably because it is what actually happened. Good work captain obvious.

Whoever wins it will have richly deserved it.

Interesting to see if Keita cops a ban for his blatant dive.

He dragged his foot to increase the chance of contact but then he got clearly taken out. You can't get a ban for getting your legs taken out even if you do leave your foot there to make sure.

 

[charcoalchicken]

He creates the contact, starts going down after his heavy touch on the ball looking for a pen. but won't get rubbed out because of it, good officiating by the ref.
