It is good to see so many PL teams still in the latter stages of the European competitions, Champions league 4 in the last 8 and UEFA 2 in the last 8. Still think Barca or Juve would be favourites to win the CL but you never know. Arsenal / Chelsea have a good chance of the UEFA, more so Chelsea, potentially could both competitions could be won by PL clubs.
And on we go .
Only caught the 1st half of Liverpool v Chelsea and I thought the Londoners were looking good .
Spurs next for us . Can’t wait .
Great Liverpool performance.
I fancy City to drop points somewhere in their crazy fixtures coming up
CFC were awful today and well deserved to lose LFC we’re not great but we’re first in the races we offered nothing and deservedly got nothing MC were of the boil but got the job done it will be tight.
It’s going down to the last day! Pains me to cheer on United, but needs must.

You could be right, they kicked lumps out of us.
Still city are in the driving seat and theirs to loose. Either way great season from the top two

Squeaky bum time…
City will win all 5 of their matches so they will be champs. And IMHO they are a better team than liverpool so it's about right.
Fancy Liverpool to win all 4 of their remaining matches too (away at Bewcastle wont be as easy as people say but the magpies are safe from relegation now so they may ease off and Benitez is ex Liverpool so you never know).
Fancy Arsenal for 3rd, Spurs 4th

City have a stronger squad and world class creative midfielders, which is what Liverpool are lacking. However, Liverpool have done really well to chase City all the way considering they were so far behind them last season.
I was having a discussion with a colleague at work and put it to him that a combined Liverpool/City 11 would beat a similar set up in any other country, including a Barca/Madrid combination.
Christmas came early for the Gunners last night and on that basis i see them fourth after the Spuds MU in fifth and us in sixth which i think is no more than we deserve. Hazard will go and hopefully with some treaks and a few recalls a new younger look next season oh and a new manager would also help.
That was some painful viewing last night for sure!! Emery needs to start playing lacazette and pea together!! I don't see why he struggles so much with this idea.
We got the 3 points which is the main thing, hopefully City can beat spurs and Man U in the next few weeks and that will potentially give us an advantage, we still have Wolves and Leicester away, apart from those 2 matches cant see us dropping many points, its going to be a close run in
Not sure why the media were lambasting Arsenal. Apart from one long range shot that hit the bar Watford didnt have a sniff and meanwhile Arsenal spurned a host of chances. I didn't expect an Arsenal win at Watford so that's definitely a huge boost for the Gunners. They have 3 away games, Wolves, Leicester and Burnley plus 2 easy home games. Assuming they win the 2 home games and away at Burnley than they probably still need one more win out of Wolves and Leicester which won't be easy

Man Utd were dreadful last night against a very workmanlike Barcelona. 6th Place for them I reckon.

I know its not prem but that city spurs game was nuts tonight. what an advert for English teams in the champs league.
Great game for the neutral. End to end and some great football. Maybe not so good defending at times, but fantastic forward play.
And it has to be said, VAR has got the big calls 100% right and with minimal disruption to the game. I didn’t see the Aguero off side in real time, I must admit.
Epic…. Pure entertainment
VAR won the day (both good reviews)
Very good match, VAR got it right, it did brush his arm but still a goal. The offside would have been given without VAR. Pressure for pep they have to win the PL now, but not getting to the CL final again with the money spent can’t sit well with the board
City fan myself so obviously gutted but what an unbelievable game. I saw the replay of Sterling’s goal and though Aguero was offside. Just proves how hard it is to win CL. Well done Spurs
Noticed the offside but thought it was not going to be checked! Celebrations seemed to go on for ages!
What drama - only thing missing was a penalty!!
Good chance to be an all English final, BUT even though Barca don't look great at the back, which if Liverpool really get at them they could score a few Barca still have Messi.
Ajax are looking pretty strong as well, Son is suspended for the next match and they wont have Kane either so Spurs may struggle.
Is Kane out for the rest of the season or is there a chance he may come back?

Brilliant from City and Spurs last night, fantastic performance that they should both be proud of. Hope the Barca Liverpool game hold's up to expectations too.
Big question with this dent the confidence of City for the run in?
City couldn’t have done any more last night. We lost the tie last Tuesday by getting tactics and team selection wrong. Pep rarely gets things wrong but I’m guessing he didn’t want a hiding the same as Anfield last year.
Spurs could struggle against Ajax especially first leg with Son and Kane being out. But I’m certain all 4 games in the semis will be quality games and well worth the watch. Even though I’m not a fan of either of the English teams I’m hoping for an all English final!

agreed 100% - was at WHL last week and the selection of Mahrez and David Silva instead of KDB and Sane was disappointing. Pep normally follows his philosophy but that first half at Anfield last year has clearly scarred him
was there last night and I can't remember a game in 40 years of following City with such drama and excitement. Terrible to lose after such outstanding performances from KDB, Bernardo and Sterling & stunning Sergio goal ..... but what a treat for the neutral.
I know how I feel and can't imagine what the players feel mentally and physically - so we await Saturday with equal amounts of hope and trepidation
Astonishing how sport seems to be able to create new levels of drama
I can see city smashing spurs this weekend just to prove a point, and hopefully they do as an Arsenal fan
City v Spurs on Wednesday was the most traumatic game I have ever watched. Friends and colleagues were saying "you must be ecstatic" but I just felt shattered (admittedly with a smile on my lips) 3 CL games to go if Spurs can keep it up.
Trippier was woeful, Sterling was sublime
Laporte was woeful, Son was sublime
De Bruyne was exceptional
Next leg against Ajax will be tricky without Son, Kane or Sissoko.
Well done to Arsenal and Chelsea too. Napoli was the banana skin, but Arsenal eased passed them too to my surprise.
Two all English European finals are possible which will be incredible.
I know, it’s brilliant from the prem teams. That adds to the pressure for the top spots, as it may be a race for the top 3

Huge win for City today. Not their greatest performance and sadly looks like that’s the end of De Bruyne’s season but there was clearly a lot of tension still left over from Wednesday.
Nice touch by the Tottenham fans cheering DeBruynes injury. Classy as ever.
Good effort from Oliver to keep the game alive . Must still be getting instructions from PGMOL.
I thought City looked out on their feet on a few occasions. We did enough to win and it should’ve been more comfortable. A few decisions in the opposition box were the wrong ones.
Glad to see the back of Moura and Son , who are very very good. I think Sir Harry of Kane could well be let go this summer so Spurs can go on a spending spree.
I thought City were lucky to get away with a win today, and the Walker penalty claim was as nailed on as a penalty claim could be. With what's looking like a threadbare squad right now I thought it was a superb performance from the boys.
Now we have to win our remaining matches.
Arsenal to finish 3rd I reckon. Amazing to think the Gunners are the best team in London after all
