[Milan 17,878]

This is also huge from the City European ban perspective. As things stand, the 5th takes the CL spot so there can be a solid gap if we beat Villa.

Can’t stress enough how important it is we win Sunday. 
 

Also Liverpool beating Everton will maybe demotivate City before our match

Err, why would City even care about Liverpool's result anymore?

Was similar last season.

We'll make it.

I hope so man. 

[Special Juan 27,538]

Good result.

We made it because others were shit during the run-in and gave us a way in. Gotta hope at least the others are shit too this time as well. 

But then I can flip that and say Arsenal and United only ran us close because both had extended periods of title winning form.

Ultimately 72 points is usually enough.

Well, we had a similar run up till November as well. 

Our disbelief at finishing in the Top 4 back then said it all.

We had a lot of draws though, those two went on crazy winning runs that were sustained for about 2/3 months.

[Laylabelle 9,406]

Despite the dodgy start United are on 12 unbeaten run..7 in the league. They'll be there right till the end..hopefully behind us though!

Think we always play after them.

[Pizy 18,537]

That second penalty United were awarded says everything you need to know about Jon Moss. Just sees someone hit the ground out of the corner of his eye and his first instinct is immedietly to award a pen. What a bastard.

He and Anthony Taylor are the two worst refs in the league.

[Vesper 29,201]

massive game

Sheff U  may be on top of Manure (they should be) and only 4 behind us if we win

but still would prefer they beat Manure

the Mancs have only that game, SOTON (maybe one could call that a bit of a test, given their form) and Leicester (last day of the season and Leicester may have already clinched top 4 by then so little incentive) as their hardest fixtures left

such as easy run in

BHA, Bournemouth, Villa, Palace, West Sham, <<< the other 5, arffffff 

really wished they had dropped all 3 tonight

Not much difference really.

Arsenal - P14 W12 D4
Chelsea - P12 W8 D4
Man United - P12 W10 D2
