Chelsea's tricky away game is at Stamford Bridge against West Ham.

BAE going off has made Spurs even more attacking....It's like two at the back with Kaboul and Bale playing wingbacks, Sandro and Hudd holding down midfield and VdV and Modric free to make sweet music together around Pav and Defoe.

Couldn't play this way against a stronger team though. Man U would DESTROY them if Spurs played 2-6-2 against them.

It's a fact that it's not over. Your opinion is that it is over. Facts beat opinions, whether you want to sit there and argue all day long, you'll still be wrong. It'll be over when mathematically Arsenal or Chelsea cant catch United, until that moment, it's not over.

It's also possible that Everton in 7th can get relegated, but just like Man Utd losing 1st place with a bit of analysis and common sense it's just not going to happen.

Hehehe the commentator on the Spurs/West Brom game just said that Defoe's goal is his 1,000th for Spurs. I wish he had. Sadly it's just 100.

Liverpool 3-0 up against Birmingham! Huzzah!

[Jimmy]

How shit at Birmingham to let Maxi Rodriquez score a hatrick?

[Jimmy]

Also, at this rate, next season is going to be quality. If Liverpool can retain this kind of form and Tottenham build on their exciting season - we could see six teams who could all quite easily challenge for the title. Plus, I've got a feeling if Aston Villa find their feet they could do some damage next season. They certainly have the players to do it.

Maxi is decent, always makes good runs and is tidy enough with the ball. Much happier now we're seeing him getting starts rather than the chain smoking savour of England.

None of their last 4 matches are givens though, Blackburn and Blackpool in the last two fixtures could be a lot tougher than they look. Obviously you'd still expect Man Utd to win but those 2 teams will probably be fighting for survival and it wouldn't be the first time we've seen a struggling side beat/draw with a top side in the latter stages of the season. If they beat Arsenal, then it's all over bar the shouting, if they draw with Arsenal, it's all but over. But as to whoever said they need to mess up against one of Blackpool and Blackburn because of goal difference, I don't particularly think that's true. If Chelsea win their next 2 games by just one goal and Arsenal beat just Man Utd by 1 goal, suddenly there's only two goals in it between them and Chelsea, a Chelsea win against Man Utd, again by just the one goal, and it's all square. You'd still back Man Utd all day long but it's not over yet.

How epic would it be if going into the last day of the season Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd are all on the same points and similar goal differences? I know it's very unlikely to happen, and even if it did you'd fancy Man Utd to get the biggest win as they're playing Blackpool, but it'd still be pretty cool.

I hope Newcastle can score at least once more ...

[therockbox]

5-0 Liverpool, Joe Cole - who I've always liked - hits a low shot down in the corner, keeper should get there but it squirms past him.

[Jimmy]

Even Joe Cole's scored.

[Matt]

Even Joe Cole's scored.

Now for the real test: bring David N'Gog on.

[Pesci]

He only scores against the big teams. He's like our Park.

[IAceI]

3 subs all forced by injuries. No strikers on the pitch. Who needs em? We have Henderson.

Back in the mix

[DavidMarrio]

The fact that Joe Cole scored says it all haha.

Another solid performance from both Robinson and Flannagan, everyone had a decent game and this could very well be a vital win thanks to the big push on our goal difference.

Interesting end of the season though for sure what with the battle for 4th/5th, the title race and the relegation battle.

Guttered Wolves didn't win Really want them to stay up

[Hobo]

Whether or not Liverpool finish in 4th or 5th is out of our hands. Spurs and City need to drop points in their games in hand, and we need to win all our remaining games. Oddly, I'd like to see City in the Champions League, but I wouldn't complain if things went tits up for them and Spurs and we knicked it.

[Starvinho]

Torres has just scored, Chelsea 2-0

[Guest viperlike]

If United don't win the league this year i will leave EWB forever!
