Assuming we beat Stoke (and I'm writing this with us 3-0 up at half-time) then we are one point ahead of United with two games left each.

I did all the possible combinations that could happen - from both teams winning their two games to both losing them. I came up with 36 combinations of points - e.g. we get 6, United get 6, we get 6, United get 4, etc.

Of these, only four combinations would result in both of us having the same number of points at the end of the season, and therefore goal difference being the decider.

The four combinations are:

We get 3 points, they get 4

We get 2 points, they get 3

We get 1 point, they get 2

We get 0 points, they get 1

Seems like the first combination is the only one that might happen.

I think we just gave ourselves the best goal difference boost we possibly could.

Actually, it would be nerve-wracking, but I would almost prefer we won through goal difference - it would emphasize what a great season for goals by us and be like a reward for our attractive football.

It's all going to come down to next week in my opinion, if we beat Liverpool i think we will win the title. Wigan have nothing to play for now and we have everything to play for at home and another display like today against Wigan would be the perfect way to end the season. However if Liverpool beat us and Man Utd win it's season over, both teams will win on the final day, i can't see Stoke holding United at Old trafford judging from the performance they brought today.

Liverpool and Sunderland are going to the one's who decide where the title goes and it's interesting as we have a former United player on one side in Steve Bruce and a club who would hate for United to get thier 19th title on the other.

It's going to be absolute nerve wracking next week for sure.

Sheva:

I agree, the Liverpool game is what it's allcome down to.

BestBetting.com has us as 4/7 on and Man Utd 13/8 to win the whole thing. But I think we have the harder run in because of the Liverpool game.
