As a gunners fan I kind of thought that they would lose that game, but we are still just in with a shout of the title (I know I`m being very optimistic here)

There was a girl from Stockport
Her name was Hazel Grove
She started supporting City
When she was 8 years old
She's been to every match
She's only missed a few
She's never seen them win a cup
And now she's 42.

United, I love you.
What a game.

I was so bored watching it but i can see how it would have been an exciting game if you actually have a preference. Plus I was expecting a really open game and goals at both ends.

Come on Sunderland! After an embarrassing 3-1 defeat at Turf Moor earlier in the season, id say a win today and helping put them down would be classed as revenge. Id love to see Bruce go for it today, attack them and go for a rout. We'll see. I just hope I can find a stream.

Yeah me too. Can't believe Man U managed to win it.

I could see it coming. Simply because I expect them to do that 9 times out of 10 whenever they find themselves in that situation.

Sunderland 2-0 Burnley at half time.

The last 20 minutes were exciting because I was waiting for a goal.
The last 3 minutes I was thinking it's not gonna happen
Then out of no where

Paul Scholes, that's the reason why he's been my favourite player since I was a small boy.

17 minutes in. Spurs 1-0 Chelsea.

United fans must be beginning to feel it...

Even more so now.

2-0

Tottenham are absolutely destroying Chelsea. Ancelott had made all 3 changes by half time. Drogba seems to be playing with a knock. Terry sent off for 2 bookable offences and Spurs have had them pinned back in their own half throughout. I thought Spurs would get fourth for the most of the season but over the last few weeks had started to favour City. I thought Spurs chance had gone but wth performances like this and Arsenal last week they could easily do it.

Hate to say I told you so

Hardly the best game I've ever seen, but you deserved it. Congratulations.

And, since you've got my lot next, I think you will be! Might not be as easy as I reckon it'll be though - apart from Man U (who, admittedly, absolutely minced us), the other two of the traditional big four we've played at home have lost. If that ain't tempting fate though, I don't know what is! Believe it or not though, I'm actually kinda hoping Arsenal win - we'll still be clear enough of Hull and Burnley (thankyouthankyouthankyou Birmingham and Sunderland) who I really can't see winning two of their last games, it's still well within our hands (still got Hull to play at home) and an Arsenal win will make the title race even more interesting for me and my fellow neutrals.

I won't deny that it'd be absolutely awesome to beat another top 4 club before the season's out though.
