Well this is exiting. This is cool. Just when you thought the season was over, that Liverpool had won the league (and if they don’t there will probably be several public inquiries, then several more and we’ll all have to wear black armbands for the next 25 years) up trot no-chance-Chelsea and bust it all wide open again. In fact Chelsea probably did a bigger favour to Manchester City than for themselves, but despite Morinho’s stupid protestations to the contrary, Chelsea have an outside chance if either City or Liverpool slip up, and if neither do then City win on goal difference. Again. Though Spurs still have a very outside chance, but nuclear armageddon has to happen (could happen; watch Ukraine) and the end of civilisation as we know it, and even then City’s goal difference is 58, Spurs is 4. So we need to score at least 30 goals in each of our last 2 games. Well, with our ‘strike force’ anything could happen. Yeah right. Morinho parked a series of buses at Anfield, which, to his credit, if not for the greater good of football generally, got the job done.

Everton slipped up, agaiaiaiain. Virtually gifting the coveted 4th slot to Arsenal. Who only have ‘easy’ matches left now. Really easy. Ridiculously easy. Only a bunch of tossers could possible drop even half a measly point against such pathetic opposition. No pressure at all then.

And then there’s ‘the other end’. The nether regions of the table, the shitty bit. Sunderland’s win yesterday took them out of the relegation zone for the first time in 6 years. Or so it feels to me. And to Gus Poyet. The ‘miracle’ he wished for seems to have started to happen and once again, goal difference becomes critical, with Sunderland’s much better than the other possible victims of the grim reaper’s scythe. Poor Fulham, conceding a last minute equaliser by Hull on Saturday did very little either for their mood or for their chances of a reprieve. You had to feel sorry for them. Unless you’re a Hull fan (one of the 7) in which case you’re over the frikkin moon, Brian.

Cardiff are almost gone and Norwich have a good chance of the drop too, with possibly Aston Villa if they really fuck up and those bottom teams start winning. It is statistically possible for West Ham to be relegated but then where would Spurs get their hatred from, and who’d be left to make gas chamber hissing noises at the Lane?

And those in-waiting to take their ‘rightful’ place at the toppest of top tables are Leicester, Burney (gawd help us) and… and…

Well, its always exiciting; the ‘and…’ Playoff bound. Most strenuous thing ever. Could be Reading. Could be QPR, again. Bringing Harry back to the scene of his former crimes. Who knows?

Very tense, exiting and… our season finished months ago.

Happy monday
