Chelsea had it in the bag a few weeks ago. Losses to Palace and Sunderland a tame draw against Norwich have changed that. Add back the 7 extra points they really should have been capable of winning and they would be as good as Champions. Last week the win at Liverpool proved he hadn't lost his touch - but I think the other three recent results prove that he has.
Top 3 in La Liga all dropped points this weekend. Real and Barca drawing meant that Atletico's loss leaves them still with it in their hands, although they've got Barca away on the last day of the season. That Valencia 'keeper was really good, might be worth a bid if we lose Lloris this summer. Ronaldo's flick for the equaliser was just brilliant, he missed an easy chance in the first minute but made up for it with an assist and that goal. Probably worth a bid in the summer too.

Possible nightmare scenario for Barcelona where they have to beat Atletico to win La Liga but in doing so will let Real through! It's decided by head to head results if points are level so Barcelona would win it if they all finished level on points but that's very unlikely now.
this would have some meaning if you werent SIXTH , and hunting for yet ANOTHER manager . you really do come out with some cr@p . Look in the mirror before you post stuff like this . Thats a free tip for ya. Stop you looking stupid .
Palace deserve so much credit for that. 3-0 down and with nothing to play for, yet they rescue a draw against a side fighting for the title. Nearly nicked it, too. Pulis doing really well there.
And that is why they won't win it. You cannot ship close to 50 goals all season and expect to be champions. For all the talk of attacking football, their points / GD is only only 2 / 7 better than the alleged "boring" Chelsky under Jose.
I've kept saying it all season. Doesn't matter if you can score them. If you are liable to concede, you will come unstuck. If you are solid defensively, you will nick the odd game when off form. If you ship goals for fun, no lead is good enough as tonight proved. Liverpool should be nowhere near good enough to win the title. They've come close because everyone else has been vulnerable too or off the pace- City to a lesser extent, but even they wobble if without Kompany or Toure or Aguero at times.
It just shows what can be achieved by good management and motivation of a squad of players. All credit to Pulis for what he's achieved at Palace. On the other hand, it seems that Rodgers is getting too cocky for his, and his teams, own good. You don't win titles by giving 3-0 leads away!
And not forgetting just about the most passionate supporters in the PL. Palace have been a credit to the league for a number of reasons this year.
