I know this has been done ad nauseam and I am in a minority but personally I find the idea of Citeh completing another domestic treble less palatable than Arsenal winning the league. For all the "they don't count when they win", yes they do. And being able to buy the two of the hottest prospects in the league part way through a season while being under a never ending investigation for financial doping also matters. To me at least.

This is my feeling too . it is a farce they can carry on in cheat mode ,  the whole integrity of the league is undermined.  Then you have the sycophants drooling over PEP and his masterstroke management.  =   buy up all the talent around.   

The farce is exactly why no one really cares if they win a few tarnished trinkets.

On the end of the season, in addition to Man City going into to overdrive Arsenal have fallen off a cliff enough times now (and are clearly mid-fall again now) that I don't see anyway the league doesn't go back to cheats.

If you struggle with the clearly hollow and tainted success on Man City, console yourselves with the thought of the trophies they've denied the others and the existenstial dread they've induced first in their nearest and dearest and now Arsenal.

If Man City win the league it genuinely will barely register with me, it will be a few seconds thought and that's it. 'Oh Lance Armstrong won again, oh well'. It won't be far off how much it'll register with their own fans.

A thought has just occurred to me.  It does happen sometimes.  Will wolves be arsed about beating Spurs?  Surely they won’t want them in the championship battling a promotion place.

That's what I was thinking.  Then again, I'm not sure they would be any better off with West Ham or Forest down there with them either.

When you're on 17 points this late in a season you just want more points.

A West Ham win tonight puts Spurs deep in it. Once there's a 2 game gap at this stage it's massive psychologically.
