Theres more chance of Arsenal dropping out of the top 4 than Liverpool imo. Still don't think Liverpool will win it though.

I think the top 4 is more or less settled now, barring a major collapse that is. What order they finish in is another matter....And you fool nobody with your bath time music Den, We all know it's this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kcy3gwwxat4

I think the top four is settled although Arsenal need to ensure they don't collapse.

If Spurs win today they're only 6 points behind Arsenal, I wouldn't rule them out just yet. They play Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool this month so i suppose its how they get through those games whether they can do it or not.

You can get odds of 10-1 for a Sunderland win today

I realise City are red hot favourites but that's big odds in a one off game, especially when they've beaten City already this season.

I agree. Worth putting a £1 on it

From BBC site and so true

"Chelsea have a four-point lead at the top of the Premier League - but boss Jose Mourinho says it is a "fake lead" because Manchester City have games in hand.

BBC pundit and former Arsenal team-mate Martin Keown: "It is work to do for Man City- it is money in the bank for the Chelsea team. It is smoke signals from Jose Mourinho - I start to lose respect when he starts talking like that - he should be saying the pressure is on Man City now.

Put Jose's managerial achievements against Keown's then you don't take much notice of him saying what Jose should be doing.

The correlation is not there, if you are matching winning championships, and telling the truth.

If you take keown's playing career, and Jose, there is a difference, but I wouldn't say that automatically makes him right.

Jose spouts a lot of rubbish, and is becoming very tiresome

From BBC site, not convinced 7 players could finish 5th

"Thoughts on those teams then? Strong. Manchester City's bench would finish about fifth in the Premier League...

Yes l suppose many supporters would say that having to settle for second best against the special one.

Mr Pharmacist · 02-03-2014, 13:39

If he does start saying the pressure is on Man City he'll be accused of playing mind games and being cocky and arrogant again. Though by saying it's a "fake lead" because Manchester City have games in hand is, to me anyway, the same as saying what Keown wants him to say. And it's the same sort of playing down our title chances he's been doing all season. What he says in public doesn't concern me, it's what he tells the team that matters. The pressure IS on, and if we beat Spurs next week then it grows. Don't expect Jose to say that in a straightforward way though. He may not be liked by a lot of people, but he's one of the best at taking attention away from his teams.

And good luck to both teams today as well. Let's hope it's a good one.

I'm puzzled, has the championship been won already Den?
