Good lord, does ANYONE want the top 4???  All we need now is for Liverpool to lose tomorrow and the weekend couldn't be any more ridiculous!

That pretty much locks up the title for Chelsea.

After dropping points to Swansea last week, suddenly United's run in doesn't look impossible.  Arsenal can be beaten, and Spurs now look like they will have little to play for.  I basically was not even caring about Sunday's result, but this game today might get my ears perked up a little.  If Spurs was still in the hunt, there was almost no way United was going to take points from them at their place.

Chelsea had the title already. No way were they going to not win two of their remaining matches.

Right.  And, United can't possibly puke away an 8-point lead with only 6 games to play.

Don't worry - United still play Spurs. So that could be three points right there.

I think you missed my point, Adam.  I was referring to when United gave up that lead in 13 to hand City the title.

Ah, yes. Was that the season United blew the lead and City won the title? I was thinking about you worrying about qualifying for Europe.

It will be interest to see who is on the field for that one. We now know Mourinho will field a mix of his academy and B-teamers, given injuries and the Europa League final priority.

Will Spurs also heavily rotate? It sure would be nice for them to win the last game at the Lane, completing an undefeated season at home.

Only need one point from their remaining games to end up in second place. I'd hope they'd still try for maximum points, though. Although I think it's close to impossible for them to win the title, you never know. And beyond that, I'd like to see them bounce back from this terrible performance and not just roll over like they did last year.

Sheffield Wednesday in the playoffs again.  Can't wait to see how they break my heart again.

Yes - I noticed that and thought of you. Maybe they will get lucky. And if Hull get relegated, they will be the only Yorkshire club in the Premier League.

I have no problem with Jose deciding to put all of his eggs in the EL basket, especially with the tough run-in we have.  However, if you are going to play the kids, play the damn kids.  Watching Rooney and Carrick stroll around like a mid-July friendly at Arsenal yesterday was enough to make my blood boil.  Then, he made his three subs (after we went down 2-0) and they were Mata, Mkhi, and Herrera.  Are you freaking kidding me?  Rooney and Carrick could walk down Las Vegas Blvd with $100 bills falling out of their pockets and still not score.

Also, Coventry who was a founding member of the EPL is relegated to League Two.  Man.
