2015/2016 Premier League

Let me work that out ... <br><br>
5 games (spurs yet to play tonight) x 3 possible points per game = 15.<br><br>
Less 8 point lead = 7.<br><br>
So yes Rage 8 points from 4 games.<br><br>
If Spurs lose tonight...<br><br>
4 x 3 = 12 <br><br>
Less 8 = 4<br><br>
Plus 1 = 5.<br>
(Or if Spurs draw 6)<br><br>
Yes?<br><br>
What happens if points are equal? Goal difference? -
<p>Spurs didn't lose. Spurs looked ominious. No pressure Foxes!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5 points back with 4 games to play ... Looks like Vardy is going to have 2-3 games on the sideline too, so their main source of goals is unavailable.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Speed wobbles!</p> -
<p>In answer to Booboo - goal difference is the decider if level, and Spurs are way, way ahead on that. So Spurs need 5 more points than Leicester over 4 games - Leicester need 8 points to guarantee it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Leicester v Swansea</p>
<p>Spurs v WBA</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Expect 2 home wins here, oppositions with nothing to play for.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Man U v Leicester</p>
<p>Chelsea v Spurs</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This could be the pivotal pair of games, both tough fixtures.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Leicester v Everton</p>
<p>Spurs v Southampton</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Both winnable games - both potentially tricky games to win.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Chelsea v Leicester</p>
<p>Newcastle v Tottenham</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Really hard to call these so far out - will depend on Newcastle's status.</p> -
<p>Leicester also with the slight problem of potentially losing Vardy for the remaining games, how long could he be banned for if hes found guilty?</p>

Thanks KP<br><br>
I just have a bad feeling about Leceister fucking this up.<br><br>
Which probably means they're home and hosed ... ever watched Fever Pitch? "Fucking Arsenel"<br><br>
Tell me, when was the last time Tottenham won? -
That long ago? <br><br>
As i mentioned above I was a fan from the Ardiles, Villa, Hoddle days when they won back to back FA Cups. Thought they may have gone close.<br><br>
Normally I'd be backing the team that hadn't won for 55 years as the fairytale. But not having won EVER trumps that. -

They've been known as a cup team, a team with a soft underbelly since then. If LCFC falter vs Swansea or Yanited and we beat Chelsea it's all on -
<p>Here's a stat - who would have believed this at the start of the season</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Manchester teams and Chelsea (most people picked one of these 3 as title winners) have lost 29 games between them. Last season it was 18.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Leicester, Spurs and West Ham have only lost 13. Last season it was 46! For anyone who has followed football this past 20 years or so, that is a crazy stat.</p> -
<p>Spurs got WBA tonight - thats a banker for them, unless they start to feel the pressure, which I highly doubt.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had dinner with a few poms last Friday night, all lifelong football fans, they all agreed Spurs were going to win all their last 4 games and it would be up to Leicester to win it, not have it given to them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So that basically means 2 wins from the last 3 games, or a win and 2 draws.</p> -

So for Spurs to take the title they have to win their last 3 games and Leicester lost their last three.<br><br>
That would be the Leicester who have only lost 3 games all season.</p></blockquote>

As Rage says it seems to work out to max points from 3 games for Spurs plus no more than two draws and a loss for Leceister
