    Chelsea are basically watching City passing it around at the moment, but it's still only 1-0.
    One mistake or good move and they can get something out of it.
    Now Giroud's on, you've got to think that they're going to give it a go in the last 10 minutes.
    Doesn't really matter if they concede more.

    And if both are still in the CL we could draw them.
    Time to drop the small club mentality, and make
    the statement.

    I expect Spurs to front up and make it 3
    consecutive wins at home in the PL against
    Sheikh Mansour FC, whether they have the PL
    wrapped up by then or not.

    Remind me was this game played in England in an English league? How many English players did we see?

    The reason for this is that English players
    are known divers/cheats, and neither club
    wanted that to overshadow the huge football
    spectacle that was going to be played today.

    Spurs win. Arsenal lose. Chelsea lose. West Ham lose.
    Can Palace become the 2nd London side to get any points in this round of fixtures?

    3 more wins and City are on 87 points, which is the maximum liverpool can now reach and 2 short of what United can reach. However, being as it is that the 3rd win will be against United, it'll be curtains for the title (on GD at least) if they beat Stoke, Everton and United.

    They'd then only need a point against us to officially wrap it up mathematically. But for all intents and purposes 3 wins will be enough. We're not going to see a swing of 28 GD.

    You didn't specify that in your original question.

    True.

    I have no doubt that both of these clubs have a number of English players rotting in their academies and some may even make the bench to rot there so you are quite right I have should have mentioned that.

    Oh you're right. If Pool drop points in that one City need 3 wins and it's over outright.
