It’s City’s 4th in a row.
Just make peace with it now, will help tuning out all the adulation for them this summer a lot easier.
Liverpool will win the league

Just make peace with it now, will help tuning out all the adulation for them this summer a lot easier.
It's just hard to see where City will slip up other than at Spurs (who also play Arsenal and Liverpool). I obviously would much prefer Arsenal to win the league but City just have a ridiculous consistency when it comes to this time of year.
You've been awfully quiet today haven't you mate?
I'd be delighted for them to stop Liverpool. No problem.
They play Brighton away next.
That's often an awkward game.
And expecting Spurs to upset Liverpool as realistic as expecting Everton to.
Too many goals wasted in too many games finally caught them. To make it worse, today they play badly on every line, agaisnt one of the weakest rivals and still missing goals, the worst possible combination
Brighton can play some terrific football but they're on a bad run.
They were dreadful against Burnley yesterday and Arsenal beat them comfortably away.
Yep, today was a huge blow for you, but it would still have been worse also being 3 behind an Arsenal with way better goal difference.
You still have a very difficult scenario though. Big deficit in the Europa, which you can't just write off, so you'll do well to work out what line-up to field to not throw that, that leaves a fresh lineup for the weekend.
It wouldn't look great subbing all your main lot off on 70 if you're not within 2 goals either.
Probably true, and Arsenal blitzed them.
But Brighton are one of these little Palace style bastads that can upset you randomly.
City definitely have a wobble in them between Spurs, Brighton and Forest away but you do think Arsenal will also drop in one of United/Spurs and Liverpool in one of Villa/Everton. I think City are in a strong position but this title is anything but done.
It's true and it illustrates the strength of the Prem. Palace had half a defence today and they were exceptional.
But Brighton have Mitoma, Ferguson, Gilmour, March, Estupiñan, Webter, Milner, Enciso all out. It's why they've been so poor.
Mitoma and March are probably their two best players.
This is why today is an absolute disaster for Arsenal. As they have every chance of dropping points in the 2 games you mention and Chelsea.
City have the best fixtures though.
Brighton have been largely shit since late September.
They've picked up just 6 wins in 26 games and not managed back to back wins since the opening flurry that had people talking them up as title contenders.
Of those six wins, only one has come against a team outside of the bottom seven, and two of them were against Forest.
If they didn't have us still to play, I'd say they've got more chance of not winning again this season than taking anything from City or Arsenal.
Wouldn’t you be if you got malaria?
Looks like you have a point there.
You spent 8 years in the second flight in the 50s/early 60s. That's a record for a "big club".
City will piss home now. Their run in is a joke. Only the Spurs game 2nd last of the season looks tough but they might have the league wrapped up by then (or Spurs might have lost 4th spot so won't have anything to play for)
