Spurs can do themselves a massive favour tonight.

The effect on anyone else isn't really a consideration.

Correct.. as a Spurs fan I wouldn't want anything other than a win...

If Arsenal win the league.. they have deserved it over the course of the season.. not one game that involves Spurs.

When I saw that Spurs had Liverpool, Arsenal and City in their last handful of fixtures I thought they would throw a spanner in the works and pick up points in at least one of those games.  Now I suspect that won't happen.

City will win tonight, I'm pretty sure of that. As much as I want Tottenham to win I don't think anyone can stop City at the moment. Still gonna be routing for Spurs tonight though haha.

Remarkable news on 777

Despite the owners of 777 been removed from the board and many issues relating to fraud and other financial issues - A) the PL have not said no to 777 as potential partners and B )It appears that Moshiri has granted 777 extra time to complete the purchase of Everton

Have you a particular problem with Everton FC @guitars4you?  Just wondering as you raised the subject of 777 in the middle of a discussion about who will/might win the PL.

Ah well …..

Always knew City would win, they can just go up another gear. Son should have scored though and bad defending for the first goal. 

I don't see West Ham getting anything on Sunday but as long as we win our game anything can happen. But relatively pleased we've managed to take it the final day of the season by a few points. Last year we faded in April so we've gone a bit further. Been lucky with injuries too as Saliba has played every minute so far, Saka's not missed many and a few others have been pretty reliable.

not at all - just raised it when I heard about it - I would imagine Everton fans aren’t interested in who wins the PL

My friend is an Evertonian, besides staying up and beating Liverpool, he doesn’t care at all who wins the league.

Hooray for football. Man City win the league for the 6th time in 7 years.

The best manager - tick
The best and most expensive squad - tick
The best accountants - tick 
The best lawyers - tick 
The wealthiest owners - tick

Agree with the sentiment but I believe Chelsea and It's squads cost more and the Newcastle owners are richer but also totally agree with your point.

Please don’t ruin my rant by stating facts ;-)

Most leniency for flaunting Premier League financial rules - tick (x112)

Disagree about leniency - City have made it to complicated to follow - Like tax avoidance and money laundering - It is a long path with many different routes - Man City have not so much abused the appropriate losses allowed under FFP/PSR, but seriously distorted their own income supply in order to avoid losses - ie the stadium sponsorship is of a far higher value than other sponsorship deals - So yes a form of a sugar daddy payment as 'shake your boogie' owns both companies - So yes they have exploited the rules and City's lawyers and accountants are probably far better than those favoured by the PL

Agree City winning again and again is not good for the game - It appears as though the PL can't pin any case on them, that a court/ruling body/inquiry will accept - One thing is for sure, can they replace Pep

Will be interesting to see how LFC perform next year - Spurs and Chelsea might move up a place or two, if they keep their same managers - they have had one season to develop, so more will be expected next year - Man U won't be any different as any potential new manager will need a year or so to build his team - Ditto Newcastle, as they have probably peaked for now - Maybe Arsenal can build on this season with at least one good striker - But Pep is that good, can you see anyone one out there that can come in and match his success, at least straight away

The way the commentators were speaking after the game it was like City had already won. They've got to play West Ham with their last game with Moyes, and we've got history of denying titles on the last day. A Moyes park the bus special leading to a draw and an Arsenal win isn't unrealistic, don't count your chickens!
