Maybe they’re due for a turnaround. No team can keep on losing/drawing.
Conversely, a team on a long winning streak will screech to a halt or stumble.
It’s all a matter of when.
Hopefully the timing will favor us.

Arsenal are such a bizarre side. After three fairly poor losses that cost them a grip on 4th, they come up with a great win to stay in a hunt.
It probably would have been easier to collect the 9 points and just lose at Chelsea as expected.

Both Spurs and Arsenal have identical league standings but Spurs have 8+ goals more.
I can’t believe that these 2 teams who are going for 4th have lost 11 games each. Madness.
I’d love to be that optimistic but I just dont City dropping points. Fingers crossed Real give them a game and they feel knackered.
I think we both win all our games now (inc. CL semis) and we meet in the CL final.
We’ve done amazing to be in the race after 15 behind but I feel that drawing with City twice and not beating them at least once in the league will cost us.

If City are playing Wolves and West Ham both away in the same week I can see them drop points in one of those.
Not hopeful for Villa or the other games.

Depends if West Ham are in the EL final - they only have 12 players at the best of times so wont be going strong if in final.
Wolves will be on the beach.
If only Villa were managed by a rather passionate club legend who would love nothing more than to make Pep slip. Written in the stars mate.

Football’s a funny thing. Expect the unexpected. They may well drop points at the point we least expect them too. The thing is, we may well do also.
I think the race will still be alive on the last day of the season. The hope is that we are ahead in the table at that point so it’s all in our hands.

With you on this, sadly. We had to win at the emptyhad 
Barring a miracle I think the league is done. I do fancy us for the CL though

They are playing both Wolves and West Ham away in the same week. The only free midweek slots for City to fit Wolves game in are before and after the West Ham game.
Until it is all finished, we still have hope. Especially in the last three City games. There is no point in whining over lost points. What is done is done. All we can do now is win all remaining games this season, starting with Everton on Sunday, and hope for City to not win all of their league games (football is unpredictable).
If City does not lose any points, we are still in play for two more trophies: the most coveted trophy of club football (the Big Ears) and the trophy in the oldest club competition we have not won for 16 years. Would be even sweeter if we deny them the CL.

From a fairness in scheduling perspective, I think it makes more sense to put that game in the midweek before the final game so their schedule more matches ours. Probably wont happen though

If Burnley lose tonight I hope they go down and never ever ever come back up.
I’ll die a very happy man if I never have to see West Brom Stoke or Burnley in the Prem again.

Burnley have all the hallmarks of a back-to-back relegation side. Down to the Championship with no manager, a board that wants (and must) to cut expenses, and a side full of players looking to move on, they are odds on to follow the Sunderland arc, maybe even the Portsmouth one if their American ownership sees the opportunity to shed debt with a favourable restructuring.

Also, anyone else remember how the Smoking Man in the X-Files fixed the Miracle on Ice?
Someone should do that.

The Guardian’s description of the ridiculousness of yesterday’s Chelsea game…
Then there are the games in which Granit Xhaka runs the midfield, a mass brawl breaks out in the closing minutes and Eddie Nketiah scores twice against a team currently sanctioned by the UK government.

So going into final game, they are 1 point ahead of us.
They score against Villa early doors and look to be coasting, whilst we labour to 0-0, then in the 90th minute Rodri has a complete brain fart and gets red carded. hits several Villa players before enventually being dragged off and having 7 minutes of added time allowing Coutinho to step up and score a late equalizer then in the 97th minute up steps Danny Ings to tap in after a Keeper howler to lose 2-1.
What a fucking finish that would be

Fucking right. It’s not over until it’s over. I’ll keep believing all the way until the final whistle on the final day, ya cunts.
I will never understand the mentality of admitting defeat before a thing is over. Costs you absolutely nothing to blindly have faith that some how, someway, this will fucking happen and we’ll win the fucking league. If you’re wrong - so fucking what? What has it cost you? Fuck all. Push all your fucking chips into the pile or go the fuck home.
NOW WHO’S FUCKING IN?!?!?!
