Villa if they win all their games can only get to 37 points. Surely not enough, nor going to happen?

I would put a big chunk of change on the fact we will not win another game all season. Possibly not even get another point.
This season is over for me. I was in a position to watch the game last night but didn't even bother. I didn't even check the score until the game had finished. Roll on August

Come on Bournemouth, continue that good run and take some points away from Arsenal's neighbours.
I predict both the Newcastle/Sunderland & Manchester games will end in score draws and with at least two red cards

One out of three so far. I also thought that the Manchester derby would be a draw.

3-way fight for 4th place, Man City can't afford many more slip-ups otherwise they could find themselves playing Thursday night European football next year.
City were woeful today... Demichelis was so poor, i have seen better defending from league 2 sides than today`s performance from him. Hart getting injured as a result of his shocking defending. Aguero was not much, better squandering chance after chance unlike him.We defiantly did not look like a side that should be playing in the Champions League quarter finals. City must improve.
A big well done to Rashford though, Van Gaal decison to play him payed off in the end.

Hart and Sterling both out of the internationals - 3-4 weeks out for both of them is anticipated.
Definitely a 2 horse race now with Spurs and Leicester for the title. I don't mind either way as it will be a new name on the title.

Of the Premier League, maybe. But Spurs have won the League title twice in the past, including a League and FA Cup double in 1961.

If Leicester do go on to win the league, they'll be the first first-time winners since Nottingham Forest who went on to win two successive European Cups. Forest are still the only team to be champions of Europe more often than being domestic champions.

They certainly were woeful, especially at the back, without Kompany they are average at best.
If they carry on being rubbish Guardiola won't be in the Champions league next season. I bet he never imagined that scenario when he agreed to join City.

I can remember Leicester losing lot's of Cup Finals in the sixties when they were tagged as being extremely unlucky.
How have they won (nearly) the title with the third or fourth lowest wage bill in the Premier League ?
Is it a chance afforded by the "Big Four" falling apart ?
Should we expect to see more minnows challenging for honours with the money on offer in the new PL deal ?

I have a source (not HP!) inside VP and she hasn't mentioned anything to me as yet. She told me Fox had left 2 days before it became public knowledge and usually is spot on
And the match wasnt all that either but happy with a draw.

No. UEFA's Financial Fair Play will ensure that the "Big Four" will outmuscle the other clubs

Tiverton Town 1...Winchester City 1 (Landricombe 31; Mills 90)
Winchester City showed grit to salvage a point late on and avoid a second consecutive defeat. Levi Landricombe scored on the half hour from 25 yards and the hosts wasted numerous chances. It looked like that would be enough but in stoppage time Leigh Mills stabbed home from a free kick with the last kick of the game to ensure Winchester would emerge from darkest Somerset with a point. Next up, a Good Friday home game against lowly Slimbridge, before an Easter Monday trip to relegated Bashley. And speaking of Bashley...

What a win for my "second team"!
Are Tiverton exiled from their hometown then? Where do they play?

Another good win for Darlo last night 5-0 away at Nantwhich. We are now 1 point off Blyth at the the top of the league with 2 games in hand plus a 13+ goal difference on them. We were 12 points adrift a fortnight ago! We are 5 points ahead of Salford with 3 games in hand on them.
Champions go up to Conference north with 2/3/4/5 in a play off but still a long way to go

I think someone failed geography.
They play at Ladysmead, Bolham Rd, Tiverton EX16 6SG
Talking of teams playing in the wrong county, Truro city will be playing at Torquay next season. Their current ground has sold and due to the incompetences of Cornwall council their new ground isn't going to be ready by the time they have to vacate the current ground.
Truro city currently riding high in 4th place in national south.

Hyde United 2...Rushall Olympic 2
Well, that is two consecutive drawn matches for Hyde in their attempt to halt the seemingly sure and certain drop down the league towards the "dreaded bottom four" positions.

Or could it simply be that both NP and CR have only signed players who want to play for the club and not signed, just for the money? MO, did the same when he was the man in charge, with the likes of Collymore etc, however his achievements at the club seem to be sadly overlooked. Insisting on a wage cap, means that there is only ego's within the changing room, and players who want to play for each other, rather than turn up, for their contractual pay packets. Maybe this is the reason, that they all stayed in January, as the title, was almost guaranteed by then, wasn't it?
What a fantastically 'lucky' season Leicester have had. Written off last Christmas, to have had the season they are having, truly is the reason, this season is so interesting. Every win of theirs, has for sure been fortunate somehow. In time hopefully, everyone who is associated with this two bit, unlucky club, will get the credit they all deserve, and rightly so. Money doesn't always buy you success...
Whether they hold on and take the title remains to be seen, however they certainly have entertained and made the premiership, one of the most enjoyable for years.

It was only very recently that UEFA gave a two-year ban on entry to both the extremely lucrative Champions League and the Europa League to Galatasaray for infringing their Football Fair Play rules, so would you feel that such a similar two-year ban on any British clubs would have an effect?

Just saw that myself... Bet he never saw that coming
Neither did I, somewhat harsh if you ask me. He has also been stripped of his England caps which is surely a completely pointless gesture? Are the FA going to re write history?
