What a great example this sets!

Basically saying.. "go and spend what you want with oil money, regardless of your income".

Cheat in a nuttshell.

We didn't break FFP rules, that was the ruling in court  ...UEFA are just bent, they are like the women who make up false rape allegations but get found out  ..well we are spending 30 million on suing UEFA, trying to bring this great club down, they need to learn who runs this game! ;)

£30m on legal fees... won't spending that tip Man City's accounts into a breach of FFP, bankrupt UEFA leading to a chain of events in which all current top clubs financially collapse, with Man City eventually replaced by Wycombe Wanderers at the top of the game.

We can do what we like 👍 ..the German & Spainsh mafia's might not like it but we have just kicked the door in on these cunts, took out our 15inch cocks and pissed on their shoes!  ..this gives me an idea for a mafia wars game 😆

That's not how I heard it went. I was under impression Noel Gallagher stood outside UEFA offices whining until they couldn't take it anymore.

We are one defeat away from matching our 2015/16 total. A season where we finished 10th, yet we currently sit 3rd xD

Yeah, you've lost a fair few but you are looking at that from a negative point of view to make a mockery of this season.

You are by far, a better team to watch this season than that one, which is reflected by the fact you have 6 more wins and 8 less draws to date.

And the fact that you are more openly attacking (albeit sometimes naively hense the amount of defeats) is why you are 3rd.

You give yourself more chances to win games than simply just not getting beat. It's about winning games after all.

We've conceded more goals than Burnley & Palace with Tammy Abraham, who's scored 4 goals since November, leading the line and have statistically the worse keeper in Europe's top 5 leagues. 

Yet we are still the 3rd best club in the Prem. xD

The top 3 in the above table fucked themselves over in trying to make gains on the others. First Chelsea lost, then we lost, then Man Utd conceded a late equaliser. Any win for either of them would have pretty much guaranteed CL/European football.

Including Burnley & Arsenal as they can still mathematically qualify for Europa League. 

Next Fixtures:
Chelsea vs Norwich
Leicester vs Sheff Utd
Crystal Palace vs Man Utd
Burnley vs Wolves
Newcastle vs Tottenham
Arsenal vs Liverpool


The 2 main fixtures being Leicester vs Sheff Utd and Burnley vs Wolves. A win for Leicester and we guarantee European football. A win for Burnley puts pressure on Wolves, even more so if Sheff Utd get 3 points (likely).

Burnley have one of the best defences because they are trained to work as one big unit. They concede possession and sit back and soak pressure. Hence why Nick Pope is up there for the Golden Glove.

I'd also argue Tarkowski and Mee are both better than any centre back Chelsea have currently but seemingly that's not hard listening to you Chelsea boys.

They are just unfashionable because it's Burnley. Maybe Lampard should look at domestically signing someone like a Tarkowski who is a solid ball playing CB. After all, Leicester struck gold with Johnny Evans.

I think the big worry with singing someone like Tarkowski is he looks great at Burnley... but as you say... Burnley's defensive setup requires the whole team to act as one unit. The defensive unit at Chelsea is not going to involve as many of his teammates as it would at Burnley (assuming he joined them). There's a chance he'll look brilliant at Chelsea, there's also a chance he'll look much worse without that defensive unit he's a part of with him.

This will go down to wire, last few minutes of the last game.  I fear United's starting 11 are looking tired.  With this shorten schedule and games coming every 3 or 4 days starting the same 11 every game is risky.  The problem is that if they rest 2 or 3 starters the quality of the team drops.

Have you seen who they're playing on the final day? They'll be fine. Our squad is depleted - Maddison, Chilwell reportedly all out for the season in addition to Pereira who was injured anyway and Soyuncu who was suspended. That's 3 of our back 4 and one of our most creative players out.

You always worry until the points are in the bag.   You can mail in the 3 points if you want.

Do not write off goal difference in this, could be absolutely crucial when you consider what's left.

Chelsea have got to be feeling a little bit vulnerable there given the other two have them beat on that.

As @Lucas has alluded to, it's going down to the wire for the CL spots!

Europa League spots are much more open, and 1 of 3 clubs (Chelsea/Man Utd/Leicester) are guaranteed a spot in that competition. Wolves GD is too low to challenge those 3.

The 6th spot is where it's open. 

With the staggered games for Round 37, some teams might not even need to play to secure their spots. Wolves play on Monday; Tottenham, Burnley and Sheff Utd all play before them. 

Liverpool vs Chelsea
Tottenham vs Leicester
Man Utd 
vs West Ham
Wolves vs Palace
Sheff Utd vs Everton
Aston Villa vs Arsenal
Norwich vs Burnley

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few days, here's what needs to happen in case anyone doesn't know...

image.png

Man Utd need to draw to secure top 4.
Chelsea can secure top 4 as well if they draw and Leicester don't win.
Leicester need to draw at minimum and hope Chelsea lose.

Wolves need to match Spurs' result to hang on to 6th for EL qualifiers spot.

Spurs can draw and hope Wolves lose as they have slightly superior GD to get 6th.

We just need a draw. 

If you beat United, we'd be a point ahead of them with the draw.
