    Even with this result we need a perfect end of season. Arsenal away is now a tough fixture they've improved massively under Arteta

    Is it an International break after the cup weekend?

    Yes - Salah and Mane have the two-legged tie to decide whether Egypt or Senegal go to the World Cup.

    When Southampton remember themselves at the weekend and bum City out of the FA Cup as I expect them to, THEN City and Baldy are going to descend into full blown meltdown

    It's a shame their match against Burnley isn't under the lights like the Palace game - I know Burnley aren't in a great spot right now, but Turf Moor in the evening could have provided another Banana skin.

    Just wish Palace could have nicked the win but at least we are feeling them in. No doubt living rent-free in Pep's head so perhaps he'll do some daft tactical tweak that makes them lose a match soon!

    At least it's in our own hands now, win all our remaining games and we're champions.

    I feel that, if we win our next three games, we'll win the league. Even if we drop points in one or two of the remaining seven games.
    City have been scraping by in games recently and the VAR shitebags helping them along the way has skewed the top of the table unfairly too.
    A couple of games with points dropped in their next 4 or 5 could see their heads go and they turn to shite. They could just as easily win all their remaining games too, but I just don't feel that in them since January..
    Pep's head is too tuned into the CL these last couple of seasons, so that could be a mitigating factor in having their heads turned in the league too hopefully...

    So with 9 games to go for both teams just one point seperates.. Need to keep going and improve.

    Just another thing to consider in terms of marginal gains.

    If we were to be drawn against an "easier" team than Man City get (let's say we got Benfica or Villareal where they got Bayern Munich) and we were drawn to play on the Tuesday (with them being drawn to play on the Wednesday) that could make all the difference.

    Needless to say, the reverse is also true and could hand them yet more marginal gains to tack on to the fact they'll be the Home side.

    Hopefully our handling of rotation has proven to be better than theirs by the time that clash comes around and that we've kept the pressure on.
