Well I for one will be rooting for one of them to win! After the arse brush aside Sheffield tonight, a City/Liverpool draw could see the arse being top next weekend. :(

Would rather City win the league, used to it. Liverpool meh, it's fine. Just not Arsenal.

The Arse are just on another level currently. Since the new year, they're averaging 4-5 goals a game. New prem record for goals scored over these games (previously held by City, three less goals). Demolishing the opposition.

Hell of a title race between the top three.

Best attack, best defence, best team?

Why not dispense with points, 19 games home 19 away whoever has the best goal diff wins, end of!

It would make for very enjoyable games

An absolutely insane stat of the day.

Rodri. When he's been in the team, City haven't lost for SIXTY games. He's unbeaten in 60 holy crap. Yup, it's a premier league record for any player. Liverpool next.

Not much to say about yesterday’s games - no real upsets, in as much as I wasn’t expecting Everton to beat Utd, although apparently they could easily have done so - the way they’re playing they’ll be lucky to avoid relegation, and if they get any further points deduction they’ll almost certainly go down.

Arsenal made hard work of beating Brentford, but for 24 hours (at least) they are top of the table.

Hoping that today’s top of the table clash between Liverpool and City turns out to be a cracker, with one of them winning 4-3!!

The 3 teams at the bottom currently are the 3 that came up, correct?

Yes, which tends to highlight the difference between the Premier League and Championship - it’s quite often that 2 of the 3 promoted teams go back down the following season / this year it could be all three, although Luton have a fighting chance of escaping-Sheffield Utd and Burnley look doomed!!

I hope they do, their position doesn't reflect their performance, and they deserve to stay up.

Huge, huge win! The manner in which we did it (2nd half) was outstanding too. And Bentancur even got a late dig at Cash. :laugh:

Hate to see the arse top but gotta hand it to them, they've been phenomenal. 10 games to go, hell of a title race we have.

Tottenham may get some say as to who wins it. What a run of games! :shock:

The Liverpool-Man City game didn’t quite have the scoreline I had been hoping for, but still a cracking game with both teams having chances to win it - Liverpool probably just had the edge but neither team really deserved to lose. As has been mentioned, it leaves the run-in to decide who lifts the trophy nail biting - going by the current status, I would imagine it will be decided on the last day of the season!!

Well yes, naturally I was devastated that Wales were completely overwhelmed and humiliated by a stronger, heavier, more powerful and all-round better French team, but I'm sure you agree that we shouldn't let such little setbacks prevent us from seeing the overall picture of joy at magnificent wins by England and Spurs. :thumb: :laugh: :duck:
