Title Race 18/19

[Assassin]

Too much focus on spurs and manu taking points off city. I am fairly confident that Burnley will get a result against city

[Red_Polo]

Neville raised a good point - Utd also desperately don't want City to do the quadruple. It would be one thing they could always lord over them.

Why?

Burnley are ****.

[Assassin]

Why?

Burnley are ****.

Just my opinion, I think they will be up for it. Besides being **** hasnt anything to with it, several '****' teams have taken points off city this season

[labourRed]

I think we need them to get a result against City and that they are the best hope for doing that so absolutely do give a **** in this instance

I refuse to believe they are the best hope having seen them a few times of late, their defence is absolute ****e.

Just curious as to why you are so certain Spurs will get one of the spots? They only have a one point advantage over Arsenal (and Chelsea but with an extra game). On paper Arsenal have the easiest run-in. All those 4 sides are about the same in terms of recent form. They need to beat City at the weekend to stay ahead of the pack, even if they get a draw the could find themselves in 5th by the time this weekend's fixtures are over. And that is not taking into account the effects of going out of Europe or preparing for a CL semi final. I think it can be any 2 from 4 until the Man Utd Chelsea game. A slip up for anyone could be costly

They are clearly the 3rd best team in the lg and I think most of their games are in that Majestic Stadium, even though they are missing Kane they are to use a Kloppism, very good moment right now

Sorry, with respect, i'm not for reading those ramblings. But Neville was incorrect last night. He reckons United should go all out against Barca and try and win. And after that Everton is a must win. Then they should rest v City and if they beat Chelsea they'll be in the top four. That'd put them on 70pts with 36games played.

Spurs would need a win in three and Arsenal a win and a draw in three. Which would likely have united on fifth on goal difference.

Summary its ****ing on !!!!

While they (from their point of view, not ours) can afford to lose to Man City in the league, I don't know that they can afford to slip up in another game if they do. I think how they react to the CL result against City could be season defining for them.

Yeah you are probably right, honestly I dont think either United or Spurs can take it for granted that it will be ok to come away with nothing from the city game

[Norbs]

Utd have to play Chelsea too which is by no means an east game. Has 0-0 written all over it tbf

[Nicey]

Yep they all need every single point they can get

[Exiled_red]

For me Arsenal are the major threat to both Spurs and Man Utd as they have 5 winnable games. I suspect they won't win them all but you would expect a minimum of 9 points from those games, if that happens Man Utd need 11 points plus a GD swing of +8 to catch Arsenal, if they get nothing from the City game then they have to win the other 4 and hope arsenal don't get more than 9 points or that Spurs **** up.

[Norbs]

Arsenal have surprised us all, including themselves

[vlahka]

With Kane out I am 100% convinced Tottenham will beat city. Take it to the bank.

[Mark79]

Only 3 league draws between City and Spurs all season.

What's the betting the game between the 2 non draw specialists ends up a draw?
