If I have to give a probability of coming back from a 0-3 in a CL final from half time, about 1.3% in a generous day, P(Istambul)=0.013

I think that winning the league is not a miracle, difficult like coming back from a 0-1, may be, but miracolous? no.
We have our chances, and that's why everybody (press, players, and most around here) are talking about it.

I think it will be a miracle if we manage to come from 7 points and a game in hand behind to win the league against man utd though, not up to Istanbuls standards but still

If we win the league, it will be a bigger event than say Newcastle or Arsenal throwing away those leads years back imo.....bigger even.

Its a shame but couldn't you see ? they on there last legs and they now think cos of that late goal they won the prem silly feckers long way to go 5 games in 15 days no matter how big ya team is will wreck you.

I say we still are even bets to win it if not a shade more due to our form and there poor form.

But as always press jumps on the manc bad wagon but its ok let them think they have it in bag it makes it all the easyer for our lads to pinch it at last min just think if we do that I feel it would wreck fergies boys in the head so much.

I also feel now they got some of there old great players on last legs fergie got a pretty big rebuild to do soon cos with out players likle van der :censored: , ginge , and the bic destroyer they won't have the exp there any more ,,, I wouldn't trust to win the prem with just girl ronaldo and shrek to count on haha.

This is our chance and the lads are well up for it come on the pool !!!!  :buttrock

Erm...yeah...first time in 18 years we've been in this position so late on? Some on here weren't even out of nappies. But f*ck it! Throw the towel in and stop believing anyway. All I have to say is thank f*ck Anfield and especially away matches aren't filled with people that harbor the same ambitions.

Just trying to be realistic, I actually am quite positive to be honest, I think we might nick it, it's looking really good, soo many times we've been disappointed in the past though

Something feels different this time though, feels special, let's hope

It will be hard to stomach if we win all our games, and united win all there games. As it would prove what I said earlier in the season right. The results against the lesser teams, through playing defensively have cost us. To not beat teams like Stoke and Hull at Anfield, indeed to play a game to ensure we dont lose to teams like this, is what has cost us. However, I really do believe United will slip up against Man City. They havent played well at all this season, we will see.

It's not really about being realistic now at this point. It's realistic to win it, and win it by a good few points; and it's also realistic to lose it too by a good few. Fact is, we're actually capable champions. We are actually now a title winning side, or at least a capable one. Of that there is no doubt. F*ck having doubts. F*ck being realistic. It's all about dreaming at this point. Believing and supporting regardless.

What do you mean? I'll be as happy as Larry if we win every game from here on in and what a way to annouce that we're back!

Summer will fly past, confidence will be sky high, class players will want to join us and a couple will be signed and before you know what we're kicking off the new season ready to smash Ure into oblivion.

Its vital we win all our games here on in to create the momentum for next season.

Cant wait.  :buttrock

I agree a wise man said once dreams need action but there is no action with out dreams.

Ok I said it.  :D

its pointless talking hypothetically about the situation

Next week the thread will be bumped and we'll be talking about a new scenario depending on where we are after Saturday (hopefully it wont lead to Judge being killed :D )

The beauty of football is that it can't be predicted, let's just take it a game at a time, some are pessimistic some are optimistic, I've been back and forth but I am LOVING it
All round the fields of Anfield Road
Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and could he play!)
Stevie Heighway on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
'Bout the glory, round the Fields of Anfield Road
