Is it me or is the media conveniently forgetting that Liverpool had a nine point lead over City at one point this season?

They've been very consistent and I'm not being cynical but that's a big lead that they ultimately surrendered.

The truth hurts.
This won't be mentioned by anyone if they fail to win the title. You can guarantee the word "brave" will be mentioned though.

That doesnt fit their narrative though. The media are willing them to do it. They bottled the title but no one will talk about that if they dont win it. NBC has their team at the liverpool match even though City are more likely to win the title atm. It would be crazy to not be at the place where the title would be won if it werent expected to be elsewhere. I could see some funny business happen today.

Anyone have these odds on funny business occuring today? Blown decisions? Non decisions? Salah blatant diving for a pen or 2? Ghost offside calls on aguero goal(s)?

Chelsea have rotated quite a bit today. Kepa and Hazard on the bench. Maybe we will get 3rd!

Not just that, but Ander Herrera - fresh from his departure video yesterday - isn't even in the squad.

Man City are, as expected, very strong today. Looks like Leicester have their usual XI.

Hoping for City to nick it in the most extreme way possible. I.e. City lose but Salah fucks up a last second pen. Or even two last second pens.

I'm the opposite.
.
I want 3 early Man City goals leaving Liverpool to run futilely around chasing shadows for the last 75 minutes.

Both sadistic.

Arsenal team is pretty gash - El Neny and Guendouzi in midfield and Lichsteiner and Mustafi at the back. No idea how good this Willock kid is mind. This is the same kind of lineup that saw them get roasted at home by Palace.

They were saying there was 30+ lead changes too the other day. Isn't that because they both play on different days each weekend? In truth I think it was about 3 total lead changes at the end of a weekend

It was actually 10 points the weekend we lost to Wolves.

They had opened up 9 points on us but 10 on City who had to play catch up ..
