Yeah got 3 tough games coming up really...Newcastle be tough knowing whats at stake...Scum always tough cause we play shite against them...and Blackburn..either playing to stay up or for pride mean Wolves yesterday turned up for once really...

Keep forgetting about Spurs!We aint gana catch Arsenal up unless they go completly crazy but 1 point between us/Spurs/Newcastle...just hope we can pull this off

Spurs have Bolton,Villa,Fulham

Newcastle us,city,City,Everton No one has easy fixtures just the advantage of being a point clear over us as it stands.Hopfully can change that!

Banking on Spurs to drop points at Bolton. They've only won ONCE in 12 PL meetings at the Reebok.

Harry defintly went the right way to show why they shouldnt choose him...ever since the links were made they went down and down and down...

Really?!?! How weird considering how well West Brom are doing and no boing boing this season thought be keen to keep him...

Yeah and Bolton being in the drop as it stands make it even tougher.Even though Spurs won today still were a bit shite today

[Kojo 4,676]

Shit this isn't good, because Spurs players might settle now because it's almost definite Harry isn't going to be the next England manager.

Fuck wrong thread.

Redknapp is fucking clueless.

He openly admits Modric might be leaving, i mean you don't talk about your clubs affairs to the media, he is far too frank in interview's it's cringeworthy. Ask him the club's figure's and he will probably tell you them.

Then he turned down Suarez because he thought he was a midfielder and basically has his favorite players and runs them all down to the ground, a poor man's Rafa Benitez in that respect. Imagine how usefull the likes of Piennar and Corluka would have been for Spurs right now?

I personally hope Harry stays at Spurs, and for a very long time.

am always expecting a Spurs win at Aston Villa, worst team in the league next to Rovers & Wolves

you would expect them to win at The Cottage as well if they're still in it for 4th

just hoping Bolton will give it a real go, terrific chance for them to avoid relegation now

[Ollie 4,400]

Epic game tomorrow, can't wait for the Manchester derby, if City win, it's all level but City will have the greater GD so will be in the box seat.

Blackburn vs Wigan is next week. It's big but i think Wigan will beat Blackburn and i think Wigan are safe unfortunately. Blackburn will go down anyway i feel as we host them last and if both us and them play like they did today, it'll be a hammering.

Arsenal i think are secure of 3rd because they have the points and know that if they win their last 2 games they can't be caught.

We're only 1 point behind Newcastle and Tottenham now and a win on Wednesday will put us above newcastle and then any Tottenham slip will almost hand us the top 4 finish just in case we lose in Munich.

There's still a lot left to play for and time really is running out. It's do or die pretty much about now.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

By the looks goal diff help Villa out then again still 2 games to go so could easily drop points in thise where the others dont. Bolton have a game in hand....5 teams in with the chance of going though really as it stands dont think anyones really safe just yet

Cant believe seasons nearly over!Gone quick!

fuckin villa robbed west brom, should have had a pen + villa sending off for blatant handball on the goal line

they would've been in the shit if they lost, now looks like they'll be safe by all accounts

[capriccioso 2,545]

Though I generally prefer United to the other 'big' clubs in England, I'm hoping for a City win. If they win tonight they get a huge confident boost and hopefully smash 6 past Newcastle.

[Jase 43,479]

From a neutral perspective, can't be bothered who wins the game tonight. Just want an end-to-end match with plenty of goals in it but doubt it's gonna happen.

However, from a Chelsea POV, need City to get a result tonight so that they'll still be in the title race when they go to Newcastle this weekend.
