I've said it before on this thread but i think if Chelsea sign a top quality number 9 and get their injured players fit and ready for next season, i think they will be up there. They're not good enough to challenge the top 2, but i think they'll definitely be top 4.0 -
Chelsea’s problem is that they can’t sign anyone of any note without blasting FFP rules out the water.
They will need to sell a tonne of home grown players this summer to do that…. But Reece James needs to prove to a buyer he is fit to play for a whole season, and Gallagher is a key player for them who would need to be replaced anyway.
no way are they spending £100m anytime soon unless Boehly is prepared to just take the points deduction0 -
Arsenal's win yesterday means the title race will go to the last day, and they now need Spurs to do them a favour on Tuesday.
Only a 1 goal win today though (and now a 3 better goal difference) means that even if City were to draw in midweek then it's not quite over. If City were to batter West Ham 6-0 on the last day then Arsenal would need to beat Everton by 4.0 -

The end result is always the same (City win it) but they have had some very close battles.4 -
If Villa win tonight then Spurs have nothing to play for tomorrow so come on Villa

Makes a complete mockery of the Premier League if they're allowed to do it, but if they can get away with it then it's pretty smart on their part.
Can't help but feel if it was City or the Saudi's at Newcastle doing this there would be outrage, but it seems to have gone a bit under the radar.0 -

'and there's been another goal at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, who's got it Sam Matterface...?'
'its Spurs 0 Man City 14. Yes you heard that right, fourteen. City have been clinical tonight but they haven't had to be as Oliver Skipp has just put through his own net for the 5th time this evening.
This must be some kind of record Adrian, we've already had OGs from Son, Romero, van der Venn and Porro. I dont think I've seen a game like it. Back to Adrian Durham in the studio...'
'Sam, how to you think this will lay with Arsenal?'
'Oh you can imagine the club secretary is already typing an official club statement accusing Spurs of match fixing but Skipp's 5th OG, was an absolute beauty, lobbed over a stranded Vicario from the halfway line was outrageous, he couldn't have done that again if he tried!'5 -

For those of us that have followed Spurs 30-40 years and have suffered at the hands of Arsenal under Wenger, then we throw it.
But so many seem to think CL football is the be and end all.
All of us would have snapped your hand off for 5th (if we beat Shef Utd last day its guaranteed regardless of the result against City), so take it and be happy.
If you want a %, I reckon its 70-30 in favour of throwing the game against City. I honestly thought it would be greater than that.2 - Sponsored links:

Levy will want top 4. I imagine the players will want top 4 also, even though they'll be aware that the fans will be desperate that Arsenal don't win the title.
The ultimate Spursy thing would be for them to beat City on Tuesday to help Arsenal win the title, then lose to Sheffield United and end up 5th8 -

Those spurs fans that would rather lose to stop Arsenal need to wake up and take one for the team if Villa lose tonight.

What would happen if Spurs played a second string side on Tuesday, trouble from the FA?0

Any team losing to Sheff Utd doesn't deserve CL football.letthegoodtimesroll said:Those spurs fans that would rather lose to stop Arsenal need to wake up and take one for the team if Villa lose tonight.
I'll say this though. Put yourself in the same situation. If you lose a game, and the result was it either stopped Millwall or Palace winning a trophy...or got them relegated... it messes with your heads!1 -

If Villa win tonight and your City game is meaningless then fair enough, roll over for a tummy tickle but if there is something to play for surely you want the best for your team regardless of the consequences to your rivals.2 -

If Villa win tonight though then Spurs can go back to end of season choke mode and kid themselves that they lost deliberately to stop Arsenal 😂0 - Sponsored links:

Upsets happen. Man City have won (potentially) 6 titles from the last 7. 4 Titles in row. Both are a feat that has never happened before in this country.
The trophy isn't automatically awarded. But is the league competitive when Man City in 38 games don't lose more than 5 of them?0 -

City might well win 4 in a row, but you could argue that if it wasn't for Arsenal throwing it away, we'd be sat here with City having not won it since 2022.
Just because City have been the better side in recent years, it doesn't mean the league hasn't been competitive.4
