Title Race 18/19

[BigChief]

Come on Arsenal ffs

Torn about this game. Don't want Chelsea to have a sniff of top four so they take it easy in our game but that's coming too soon so today's result won't matter.

However, It might wake up Utd a bit if Arsenal open the door slightly and might try harder against City.

Ergo, come on Everton.

[Norbs]

I don't think so. Arsenal needed to cement their place in the top 3 today, put pressure on the others. They've wimped out, Spurs and Utd can reevaluate

[ChesterDave]

Probably the best result for us as it keeps 3rd 4th race very competitive but its always good to see Everton lose and I really want to see us win the league, CL places decided and relegation finalised with a game spare.

Will be great to see Sky try to ramp up the drama of who enters Europa League at what stage

[Norbs]

It's not as it puts Everton in the hunt for 7th and I was hoping wolves would get some breathing space there. Mind you, Wolves beat Watford and their focus changes somewhat

[Norbs]

Come on Wolves!!

[Bender]

Del

[Norbs]

Awooooogah! Come on Wolves

sorry Brightred......as I said above it was retweeted and because I wanted to believe it I didn’t read the replies....

[Angryred]

Look, it's simple!...Just beat Chelsea, not only to do ourselves a favour but to gee up Spurs & Utd against City! They will want to wrap up the CL places for themselves!

If we can beat Chelsea we'll be in a really strong position. We'd likely be 2 points ahead (possibly more if City don't beat Palace) and they'd have some really tough games they'd need to win:


20/04 - City v Spurs
21/04 - Cardiff v Liverpool
24/04 - Man Utd v City
26/04 - Liverpool v Huddersfield
28/04 - Burnley v City

If City win those three the title will most likely be theirs. But one slip up and we should go top with 2 pretty winnable games to play. It's going to be a crucial few weeks

In summary, if they're going to bottle it, and I think they might (they did in December when we went on a run of wins), it's going to be in that spell right there.

not sure i can handle the next 5 weeks or so........

Of course you can

This is what it's all about.

[RedReet]

Tomkins and Sahko out for Palace game.

Means Palace will play a reserve CB pairing with little experience playing together. That being said, it should be Scott Dann and Martin Kelly, so they'll be wanting a result as much as we do and hopefully will have the games of their lives.

If that fails, just kick lumps out of Aguero (or Jesus) and do us a favour that way.

Can't wait until Sunday.

There's no (well, little) chance of City slipping up to anyone bar Spurs and/or United IMO.

Even then Spurs are serial bottlers and their away form at big teams is ****.

It's United or bust. Sickening that we're relying on them.
