As a general rule, I like teams that haven't won the league (or not recently) to take the title. That general rule is blown out of the water when it comes to Spurs, Everton or Liverpool. I even prefer United to them (oh, the shame, the shame).

First time this season that Pep has more CBs on the field than the opposition.
To be fair, all those clubs have won the league, but that was before Sky invented football.
Sorry, I meant to change runner-up to also-ran. Never mind, I made my point.
They can't handle Sané's pace. Or De Bruyne's. Or Silva's. Or Sterling's. Or even Yaya Touré's!
Palace should still be fine, but if Hull beat Sunderland and Swansea get something against Everton, then Palace-Hull next week becomes a real opportunity to drag Palace into a three-way last day battle.
But equally, they are 99.9% safe if Swansea lose to Everton. You can't see a 16+ goal swing occurring over just two rounds of matches.

Not sure about that, depends on the Summer maybe but I still think Pep is too arrogant/stubborn to realise he can't just pass teams to death all season like in Spain & Germany.
I think he can. If he had two better defenders, then he could have succeeded this year. It's his first season here and I think they'll be tough to beat next year if he gets two good defenders in.
Paul Merson just said that the referee was waiting to see a replay of a tackle at Bournemouth before making a tackle.
Le Tiss also keeps having to tell him the pronunciation of the names.

As I said earlier, the sheer pace of the likes of Sané is frightening. When he learns to look up and pick a pass he's going to be one of the best in the world. With him alongside strikers like Jesus and Iheanacho, never mind Aguero, plus a couple of decent defenders, City are going to be awesome.
They have some quality attack minded players, but also need to replace about half their team!
