Great performance by Man U yesterday and barring a total disaster in the last 2 games a record 19th prem title beckons. A season which on the whole has been short of the quality of previous seasons, tho SAF has dragged his team to the top of the pile once again, a masterclass in management. Man U were so fired up for this game yesterday and left Chelsea shellshocked after a blistering first 30mins which left them with a mountain to climb. Liverpool have finally been knocked off their domestic perch !!!

Looks like all the excitement this year is going to be at the bottom, it's looking more and more like 3 from 4 but Blackburn could get dragged back in it yet.

Big win for the Bindippers tonight, big loss for us tomorrow night and a loss by us at Anfield. Here's hoping.

Even funnier than your lot catching Citeh would be us finishing seventh, which is still mathematically possible as someone pointed out on the Spurs board tonight.


The worm finally seems as if it's beginning to turn now regarding 'Arry. At least I can claim I was sticking the boot in as long ago as February.

He'll be staying for next season. If anything he's more likely to walk than get sacked.

With United virtually certain of the title, I wonder if they will field a second string lineup against the last day against Blackpool in order to rest players for the Champions League final?

Has anyone noticed that Man Utd always get an easy last game of the season? In the past 6 years they have faced Southampton, Charlton, West Ham, Wigan, Hull and Stoke on the last day, just the kind of matches that a team challenging for the title on the last day would wish for. An odd coincidence don't you think?

How ironic for crouchie to score the goal last year that put spurs into the CL...............and he scores a OG to put Man City into the CL. Couldn't write the script.

LOL, the world has gone totally mad. Next season we'll have Stoke, Birmingham and possibly Blackpool in the Europa League.

Disappointing ending to the season IMO. The main interest will be to see whether one or more of Wenger, Ancelotti and Mancini get fired this summer.

Disappointing how? It's not outrageous to suggest Spurs overachieved last season. History certainly doesn't put them up there. I'm not sure how someone who 'supports' their team from the front room can ever understand the disappointment and exhuberance associated with actually being a football fan. One evening of slight disappointment, forgotten about the next day, or a good result washed down with a cup of tea then off to bed? As opposed to ploughing your hard earned into following your team at the ground for 9 months of every year, every week, not just the odd game Sky pick for them. Sharing your experiences with mates alongside you. Sharing the disappointments and celebrating the achievements? Not a clue.

Anyway, now I've got that off my chest, again, Spurs probably will be disappointed on the whole. Man City have bought 4th place, and even Liverpool enjoying a dead cat bounce under King Cunny are currently outperforming them. I'm sure Arry will be given money to spend, and despite the fact I don't like him, he will know what to do with it. If I had to choose between Wenger and Arry as to who was to make best use of my money I would be pick the cockney wide boy, and if you're choosing who you'd rather watch between Spurs and Man City, well, it's a no brainer. They may be 4th, but my god they are awful to watch. Spurs will be there or thereabouts next season again. Enjoy the ride. At least your seat is comfortable.

Some Sunderland fans are going to be shouting for Wolves tomorrow, such is the love for Mick McCarthy and the mindless hatred of Steve Bruce


I won't be one of them and if I hear them I'll be making my point to them quite clearly.

That's really happening? I know Sunderland haven't had the best of seasons, but it's better than a season of no promise - at times they have looked excellent and they have been absolutely ravaged by injuries in recent weeks/months so it's not like they've had a settled side for any length of time. Crazy!

However, with some of the supporters  up here, the fact that Bruce is a Geordie just can't be forgiven so facts need not get in the way of prejudice
