    We know that if we do go 1-0 up we will try and sit on it. And i just dont see us getting away with it again. We did against Newcastle. And West Ham. And last night.

    With that much pressure on us, I cant see us getting away with it again. But then I have been criticising us for this very thing all season. If it costs us the title, it will serve us right.
    Villa may also do us a favour in Manchester on the final day. Not sure how much goodwill Unai Emery has for The Arsenal, though.

    I think that is very, very unlikely.

    I think tonight's game is the one they might drop points in. Bournemouth have a lot to play for and hoping Pep leaving might take the wind out of City's sails. I know the City fans in my office are all very flat today.

    Surely the leak about Pep is intentional. I know it's been a bit of an open secret for months but something doesn't sit right with the timing.

    He'll come out before / after today's game and say he's staying for another year.

    I think them dropping points tonight is perhaps more likely than us winning at Palace. So I do see this is our best chance of winning the league.... if they win tonight it is genuinely the flip of a coin come Sunday

    It doesnt strike me as deliberate. If they had wanted to throw us off they would have said it before last night's game. I think this is a leak.

    Anyway, it is irrelevant to us.

    Should they win tonight (and I think they will quite comfortably) then how can I possibly make the days between now and Sunday bearable?

    I have a little holiday let up in the north of Mallorca and floated the idea of taking the kids out there to the wife but apparently that's not allowed as it involves taking them out of school

    I'm starting to get this feeling. I dont get it often. 87, 89, 94.

    This feeling has never been wrong.

    I can't say anything else. I've already said too much. But the feeling is there. I can feel it.....

    I just want us to start MLS in MF.

    Amen to that.

    Nice try last night, but it didn't really work. Let's hope he goes back to the thing that did work.
