Can't be worse than what happened in 2012 with Man United and that last few minutes.

In my opinion this is the worst title race I've ever seen in my life! It has been a case of counting down the weeks until it ends for quite a few months now.

 

I'd get used to it as I can see it being the same again next season as well!

I think Houdini will have enjoyed that one though as Man Utd were involved. Gave a defying Premier League moment, heart-wrenching after the 90th minute though. But at least you won the title convincly the following season.

That was probably the most defining moment in Premier League history and of course the 5000-1 Leicester City title win.

Well only time will tell if next season will be an exact repeat of this season.

 

 

 

The finish ruined the 2011/12 title race for me so no I didn't enjoy that one. The 2015/16 season is still the best as there were plenty of surprises during that season and Tottenham & Leicester were both going after their first title in the Premier League era and they were two teams that were not expected to challenge for the league unlike what is happening this season.

Liverpool and City are streets ahead of the other four teams. I can only see it being the same again. Both teams will improve in the summer too - but crucially their spines don't need replacing just yet, which where I suspect the advantage will come across.

 

Ah yes who can forget the 2015/2016 race, a great story for the underdog. And who can also never forget Spurs finishing 3rd in a 2 horse race. You'd think they'd get a shed load more stick about that if they had greater relevance! Personally at the start of the season I didn't think Liverpool would be anywhere near the title, I thought that would come next season!

Maybe Tottenham didn't get much stick because Liverpool had also finished third in a two-horse race a few years earlier.

When was this? We finished 2nd in 13/14. We've finished 2nd in a two horse race, but never third!

Only because your favourite team aren't involved and what makes it worse is your most hated rivals are in it playing football out of this world.

 

I saw a fact that if both teams win all their games (and I don't think they will) Liverpools defeat to City in Jan will mean they lost the league/chance to be centurions/invincible s in that one game!

Wayne Hennessey has unbelievably not been charged for making a Nazi salute as the FA panel has somehow believed that he didn't know what it was.

 

This quote from the FA panel must be one of the most surreal and hilarious sentences I've ever read.

 

"In fact, when cross-examined about this Mr Hennessey displayed a very considerable - one might even say lamentable - degree of ignorance about anything to do with Hitler, Fascism and the Nazi regime.

He didn't know what it was. Come on, they seriously believed that. Wow. I know Mark Bosnich got punched for that back in the 90s.

I honestly can't believe he got away with it, that's absolutely criminal. Apparently he was "trying to call a waiter" - it's no wonder these FA panels are seen with such a poor limelight. He knew exactly what he was doing.

I know footballers have a bit of a rep for being uneducated but that's a new one... what a terrible precedent set by the FA, gonna see that on a pitch again sometime & all of a sudden sheer "ignorance" is now a valid excuse - shocking.

 

I knew Cardiff would win tonight, I actually really want them to stay up now.

Bad result for Brighton and also Liverpool Cardiffs win tonight....

Cardiff would have been well up for it anyway. We’re miles better than Cardiff, will be a tough game but there’s a reason they’re in the bottom 3. Doesn’t change anything for both teams.

Andre Gomes has been suspended for three games after accepting a charge of violent conduct.

 

Portugal international Gomes appeared to stamp on Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic in stoppage time as Everton lost 2-0 at Craven Cottage.

City have got some revenge on Tottenham by beating them 1-0. Man Utd might as well take the L on Wednesday against City, it could even be possible that we lose that match but still end up in the top 4. Ever since December the remainder of the season in the league for United has been a case of trying to repair the damage that was done early on and slowly preparing for next season so even if we did finish outside the top 4 now I don't think it would have a disastrous effect on us next season.

That was super tense at the end of the match, nearly as much as on Wednesday! City now grinding out the results, it's get very cagey.

 

We have to go for the win in the derby, imagine letting City walk over us & then they drop points in their next game to Burnley & Pool win the league anyway (and we miss top 4) - that would be the worst case scenario possible. I personally think the players will be fired up for the derby (after we inevitably drop more points to Everton tomorrow) but the gulf in class will show & they'll take us to the cleaners anyway.

 

Burnley could be the crunch game for City tbh but similarly Pool have a tricky match away to the Toon to navigate, it's crazy that they both keep trading blow after blow without letting up once...
