Yus!!

Whats the record for the biggest lead for a PL winner?

I think it was Chelsea a few years back.

99/00 season we won it by 18 points

 

[Mr-White]

95 points I believe.

That's not possible, 38 wins only makes 114 points.

MW

 

[Robbo]

Oh, he said biggest lead, I thought he meant total points at the end of the season.

 

[gilchrd]

Decent set of results apart for from Norwich, the game tomorrow v Newcastle is massive if we can pick up all 3 points.

 

[PapaLazaru]

We're going down. Reading that is.

 

[dmcg]

cant see rvp with anything more that just a minor injury , just saw he fell on the camera guy lol

 

[Tom84]

Need 28 more points to beat Chelsea's record points return, with 11 games remaining need 9 wins and a draw....

RVP wont make history by scoring against every team in the league though, he needed to score against QPR, Norwich, Swansea and Villa to do it

 

[HarryPainful]

RVP will do that next year

 

[FrankJH]

Go on Chelsea. Let's put this premier league title to bed tomorrow.

Given how close Chelsea are to City, Im not sure it makes much difference really.

Its a lovely advantage to have, but Utd still need a few more wins to gaurentee it (along with one or both of the others to drop further points)

3 or four more wins should gaurentee it (depending on the other results of course).

Of course the psychological damage Chelsea could do tomorrow might kill off City's challange, even if the numbers dont just yet (although for the "all star" team it would be pretty shocking if that were the case)

BBC/SAF confirm that RvP sustained a hip injury. Just a bruise according to a few journos on twitter.

 

[HarryPainful]

I bet that hole in the ground is not there for long.

 

[Robbo]

BBC/SAF confirm that RvP sustained a hip injury. Just a bruise according to a few journos on twitter.

SAF has confirmed it's just a bruise to the hip, nothing bad.

 

[Tom84]

Still wouldn't risk anyone against Norwich next week, not even DDG in goal

 

[Pighardia]

Excellent result today. Awful game, but perfect result with Boro losing as well!!

Edit- might have spoken too soon, 2-1 now

 

[sunnysingh]

Great needed win against Peterborough, hopefully we can keep it going.

 

[pingwing]

MOTD time! Key question why don't Arsenal have a LB on?!?!?

Also why has no one hammered Villa for having 4 completely clueless CB's, they all just look at each other when Guzan makes a save!!! Really they have to go down...

 

[Trusty]

monreal?

 

[nemtizz]

Villa looked fairly decent.

 

[Tom84]

Last season it looked like Chesney was on a par with DDG as one of the best young keepers in Europe, doesn't look anywhere near on a par with DDG anymore.

 

[pingwing]

^^ yeah Szechny should have done more for their goal, as should have the 5 other players near Weimann!

monreal?

Ah that explains it, first 20 mins everything good Villa were doing was down where he should have been, seeing the final goal though explains his strengths though!

Also DM right Diaby = utterly the worst player of all time
