The result of ignoring your maths lessons

You get a job with Sportal and write something called And Then There Were Three

While it's true we aren't likely to win the title, and never really were, it is still mathematically possible, and not so far fetched as we're only 7 points away now. Sheesh.

We were doing fine when there were no expectations (or injuries). Let them ignore us.

Actually, we're only 6 points off the lead with a game in hand. Can you imagine what the journos would be saying if Manure or Arse were in out position?

The world is coming to an end? Fergie will quit at the end of the season in disgrace? Wenger claims it was henry's unreasonable 3 match ban that killed their season? Am I getting warm? ;-))

say Man U draw with Arsenal at Old Trafford, and that they manage 4 points from away games at Chelsea and Leeds, (which is 4 more in total than they managed in the three corresponding reverse fixtures) then they will have dropped 4 points and if we win all our games we finish above them.

Arsenal draw at Old Trafford, and draw at home to Spurs and then in a last game of the season tension filled game Everton get a draw against them to stay up, Arsenal drop 6 points, we win all our games and we finish above them.

Okay three set of unlikely events
