tottenham draws at home today

w/ a game in hand, City still holds a 1pt lead.
yep pretty much puts us in europa
good luck at stamford bridge on saturday!

the only teams that scare me any more are teams lower than 15 on the table

you like tottenham's chances to win at chelsea? seems like a long shot to me.. i guess city beat chelsea twice last year so it's definitely possible for you guys.

don't really like our chances, especially now that torres has broken his drought. just saying that it seems like we have dropped an astounding number of points against teams teetering on the edge of the drop zone, and we always play much better against top teams

honestly see 2-1 chelsea this weekend

City w/ 3 road points on Monday giving them a 4 pt cushion for the last CL spot w/ 5 games to go. it might as well be a 5 pt cushion because of goal differential.

holy crap. the moments where he goes full-blown Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) are just stunning - seems like they're coming in droves lately. shouldn't have even put the line judge in that position.

chelsea, if you're gonna rip my heart out, at least beat united next week

i honestly hate gomes so much, he has lost us two or three games this season

mcmwcat · « **Reply #236 on:** May 02, 2011, 10:37:05 AM »

chelsea coming out of no where. with a win next week over united they will take over 1st place in the table. not sure how i feel about that. it's at old trafford so it is unlikely. even if they don't get it done they have done amazing just to get back in the race.

city vs tottsy tomorrow. city can put a nail in the coffin of spurs champions league dreams and assure their own spot in the qualifying round. city could have put themselves in great position for a top 3 spot and a guaranteed position in the group stage of UEFA CL with a win on Saturday. but they blew a 1-0 halftime lead at Everton. a win tomorrow would put them 2 points behind the Arsenal for that 3rd place spot.

chelsea @ united yesterday

united scored 30 seconds into the game and never looked back. they need a draw in their next game to win the league title. chelsea would have been in the driver's seat w/ a victory.

fa cup final Saturday: City vs Stoke. stoke coming off a huge upset win against the Ars over the weekend.

you guys will win. no doubt in my mind.

bale out for the rest of the season

This Liverpool game is gettin' ugly. 3-0 Liverpool over Fulham after 17 minutes.

And it's at Craven Cottage

Tobias · « **Reply #242 on:** May 09, 2011, 07:46:22 PM »

damnit spurs. they've won one of their last twelve. drawn six of eight.

i get fuzzy on all the logistics of europa league - can this be one of those weird instances where sixth place in the epl doesn't get you in? seems like it would be a proper KITN.

oh yeah,

could happen. but doubtful http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_League

Quote

As of the 2009–10 season qualification for the UEFA Champions League changes, the top four teams in the Premier League qualify for the UEFA Champions League, with the top three teams directly entering the group stage. Previously only the top two teams qualified automatically. The fourth-placed team enters the Champions League at the play-off round for non-champions and must win a two-legged knockout tie in order to enter the group stage.[23] The team placed fifth in the Premier League automatically qualifies for the UEFA Europa League, and the sixth and seventh-placed teams can also qualify, depending on the winners and runners-up of the two domestic cup competitions. If one of the cup winners qualifies for Europe through their league position, the sixth-placed team in the Premier League will qualify for the Europa League unless a runner-up qualifies instead. If both of the cup winners qualify for the Champions League through their league position, the sixth and seventh-placed teams in the Premier League will qualify for the Europa League if neither runner-up takes a spot. If either domestic cup competition is contested between teams outside the top four league positions, the winner will automatically qualify for the UEFA Europa League regardless of their final league position, and the runner-up will not qualify. A further place in the UEFA Europa League is also available via the Fair Play initiative. If the Premier League has one of the three highest Fair Play rankings in Europe, the highest ranked team in the Premier League Fair Play standings which has not already qualified for Europe will automatically qualify for the UEFA Europa League first qualifying round.[24]

When asked which players he wanted to recruit to strengthen City as they head into Europe's elite competition, Mancini replied: "Cesc Fabregas". The Italian also told The Sun that there is a place at Eastlands for AC Milan striker Ibrahimovic.
