I don't believe so. I think it's between City, Chelsea and Arsenal.

The fine for Pardew from the club was 100k, that's before the FA fine if they decide to add one. Expensive afternoon.

But at least he's cemented his place in the hearts of the Geordies. He'll now be referred to as Wor Alan Hardew.

True. Having been pushed out of the way, I think good old Jack Charlton would have done the same thing.

Spurs marched on.

On the evidence of that performance I am not looking forward to our trip to Chelsea next week.

That being said it would be nice if Soldado can score a few more between now and the end of the season.

I'd say the title race is between Chelsea and City now.

Hardly call it "march", but I agree with your last sentence.

They could, its not likely, but no one is going to want to defend against them with the talent and form they have up front and City and Chelsea still have to go to Anfield.

Get a result again Utd and the pressure will mount further.

On the other hand the defence is always 2 minutes from droping a clanger and the whole squad is only 2 injuries from mediocrity.

But, yes they can do it! My money is still on City, on goal difference from Chelsea, Liverpool 3rd 3 points back.

Groping a clanger?

PS Anything can happen in football.

Chelsea to win I'd say.

I've stared at those fixtures for the last five minutes or so and all I've decided is that "Arsenal is going to lose every single remaining match".

It does not look good up until West Ham.

Chelsea and Man City are the only ones that really worry me, and they both have to play Liverpool I think.
