Such an awful lose for my favourite team AC Milan :(
Just have to hope that things will get better next season. This season is completely catastrophic.

He's a good player and im surprised no other Premier League clubs didn't pick him up - wages possibly the problem, but he scores goals and thats what teams need.

Good luck to him & Toronto

Utd fan myself and I can't see them turning it around. They don't look they are capable of clean sheets at the minute and I can't see them scoring 4

The players just don't look like they're interested in playing for Moyes

There's no cohesion, no shape, no intent, nothing. It's almost as if he reads the team sheet and says nothing else.

All are really good ties, can't wait

If any of you in here are fans of football books I can highly recommend a couple including the one I've just finished 'Soccernomics' by Simon Kuper and Stefan Syzmanski and the one I've recently started 'Fear and Loathing in La Liga' by Sid Lowe. The latter, incidentally, is getting me seriously hyped for Sunday's Clasico. Cannot wait

So, getting down to the wire. Liverpool scoring for fun but defence still looks dodgy, but averaging over 3 goals a game since Suarez got back from suspension in September and almost certain to top 100 goals this season which is phenomenal.

Chelsea, tight at the back and enough midfield talent to keep winning games. Hardest game left Liverpool away. All the rest look winnable.

City. Still look brilliant but vulnerable and have tough games at Liverpool, United, Arsenal & Everton. Can see them dropping points in 2 or 3 of those at least.

Arsenal. Losing 0-6 or 0-1 is still 0 points. Still in it.

If I had to pick, it's still Chelsea for me. Their defence is too good.

Conceding 3 goals against lolCardiff would normally mark against a team significantly in the title race, but when you can just go ''Meh, we'll get 6'' it's suddenly not a problem haha. I think Pool have a good shout, will beat City at home but you'll drop points against Chelsea and for me I see that game as the title decider

Like I have all season, I'm still going to watch every Chelsea match and root for them to mess up and lose. :D I still think they have a couple more loses up their sleeves. ;)

Great game, but some questions to referee

Very easy to say the referee made mistakes with the benefit of twenty replays in super slow motion but in each of the three penalty incidents I think if I was in his position I'd have probably made the exact same decisions

The unfortunate thing for me was the Ramos sending off, and that was the product of a daft rule rather than a poor on-field decision
