HomeSteak then they need 4 yes
They don't need 4, they need 3! 
@Pepe LeFrits see this is what happens when you tell people this!
Claudius Told you it would feel good, and it does.
Pepe LeFrits It's called mathematics.
You're all measuring goals in a conversation about goal difference, I can't help you with that. It's like trying to think about gravity without the concept of acceleration.
(I hope I'm right by the way, it's fucking late here)
Burnwinter yeah. It's such a weird vibe. We have just set a record for wins and are going into the final weekend with a chance to win. And we are engrossed in mathematics.

It's called something but it's definitely not mathematics
If we lose the league on goals scored, I expect to see you and @Clrnc in here making the principled stand for our points tally to be adjusted down from 89 points to 88, for consistency's sake

Sorry dude, I'm unsettled and I'm transfer listing myself. If they draw with Spurs, they need a 4 goal margin next weekend if we're winning by one.
But to beat us, they need to improve their goal difference by 3 relative to us. Not 2. That's why I say we're at +2.
The reason I'm talking about goal differences and not goals is that in the context of goal difference, our values (the ones that go into the table) are actually sets of number pairs, that is:
GD = { d = { (g , a): g – a = d }: d ∈ ℤ }
These sets are the natural equivalence classes over the result of subtracting the second element of the number pair (a, total goals against) from the first (g, total goals for).

I can't help you any further. You're wrong.
Pepe LeFrits We're getting into you're 26 until you're 27 territory here.

Haha can't believe people are making the GD thing more complex than it is. Basically, if City draw against Spuds, they'll have to win by at least 3 more goals than us on the final day. Here are few examples:
1) Arsenal 1-0 Everton - City would need the following results to win the league: 4-0 or 5-1 or 6-2 etc
2) Arsenal 2-0 Everton - anything worse than 5-0 or 6-1 or 7-2 etc win for City will see us win the league.
I just bought an online ticket for Spuds - City, no doubt setting myself up for one of the biggest disappointments in my life. Desperately need Liverpool to beat Villa tomorrow.
Lumping on City to beat Spurs - emotional hedge
Thought Partey looked old today

goon Numerically, for fuck's sake
DiabyKungFu I spent far too long on that thread.

Spurs are not doing us a favour, you can forget about it. It's just a question whether both teams will be content with making it a one or two goal low-drama affair, or will City go there and flex their financially-doped muscles and put 4 or 5 past them to make sure we don't even have the goal-difference advantage. Knowing that bald cunt, it will be the latter.
