I don't, and have now voted accordingly

More to the point, do we deserve to win it, having now lost an astonishing SEVEN league games??

Not sure if we do, tbph

Just think of rawk if we do

No team has won the League after losing 7 games apparently (or at least so I read on here I think)
The funny thing is, if Rooney was back for these last 5 games I'd fancy us to do it...but as he's only likely to play in 3 at the most I just can't see it sadly.

I *think* the last champions to lose that many were Blackburn in 1994-5, but that was a 42-game season.

The record since is 6, set by us in 1995-6 (the first 38 match title) and equalled a few times since.......

(can't remember when off the top of my head though!)

Liverpool can't win it now.

if we do win it, we'll have deserved it.
if we don't, we won't. hth.

It's obviously Chelsea's to lose now but I wouldn't be surprised if there's another twist or two. They've got to go to both Spurs and the Dippers who are both fighting for 4th place.

If we want any chance of winning it, we need to win all 5 games. We've done it before and it's entirely possible. You'd expect us to win all but the City game. If Rooney is fit for that game, we might take the 3pts.

Chelsea have dropped points several times when you wouldn't expect them to. We just need to keep putting pressure on them and hope that they slip up.
