The Battle for Champions League Place


Liverpool have Champions League qualification in their own hands and know that a win over already relegated Middlesbrough will guarantee them a top-four finish. There is the possibility that two of Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool will have to take part in a play-off to decide the final Champions League places.

 The following scenarios would require a 39th Premier League game: 

Scenario 1. Man City vs Liverpool play-off for 3rd
Man City would have to play out a high-scoring draw with Middlesbrough while Liverpool would have to thrash Middlesbrough at Anfield for the two teams to meet in a match to decide which team would need to enter the Champions League qualification rounds and which would progress straight to the group stages.

Scenario 2. Man City vs Arsenal play-off for 4th
If Man City were to lose 4-0 to Watford and Arsenal were to edge home in a 1-0 win over Everton at Emirates, then the two teams would need to meet to decide the final Champions League spot - assuming Liverpool manage to beat Middlesbrough. 

Scenario 3. Arsenal vs Man City play-off for 4th
If Arsenal draw 1-1 with Everton and Liverpool lose 2-0 to Middlesbrough, this is how they would finish tied for fourth

Who will win the IPL 7 title


Mumbai Indians will be eyeing a third Indian Premier League (IPL) title after they defeated Kolkata Knight Riders in Qualifier 2 in Bangalore on Friday to reach the final for the fourth time. However, they face an in-form Rising Pune Supergiant, who have notched up a hat-trick of wins against them in IPL 2017.

Steve Smith’s team will be eyeing a maiden title and they will head into the clash against Rohit Sharma’s side full of confidence. However, the title clash could bowl down to the contribution of some key players in the respective teams.

Cow Politics

Now that Donald Trump, a orange-white, bleach-blonde Orangutan remake of Narendra Modi’s political policies, and theories is the Republican Presidential candidate most likely to take down the GOP, let us take a look at different political systems, real and imaginary, through the old-yet-relevant Two Cow Politics.
Humans have evolved from Monarchy (which means that the British are as yet to get down from the trees), through Theocracy, Feudalism, Anarchy, Fascism, Communism, Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy.  Truthfully, no country in the world can said to be a ‘pure-breed’ of any of the –isms mentioned, and are really a mix-and-match of systems.
Monarchy – You have two cows. The King takes the cream.
Feudalism – You have two cows. Your feudal Lord takes the cream and whips you.
Theocracy – You have two cows. You have to feed the cream to the fanatical Mullah or Priest.

Fascism – You have two cows.
