Ticket sales looking terrible for tonight. If this was a game to go top it'd be sold out. My word the empty seat lovers will have a field day on twitter tonight.

I think the media inquest in to the West Ham, where just about every pundit says it was the wrong decision puts pressure on the refs for their next 2 matches. If they are reffed in these games to the same standards as everyone else then there is certainly a chance Burnley or Palace can pull of a draw without the threat of a set piece goal going in while every one of their defensive players are being held and unable to defend it .

Confirmed by Webb today that grappling in the penalty area to be reviewed at the end of the season.

We don't have to win well, just win.
A 2 goal win would see us level with arsenal on gd.
arsenal have to drop points in one of their last 2 games for gd to come into place.
That means they have only one game left to improve their gd.
We have 3 games and a 2 nil win in our next game could suffice.
The more the merrier, mind you.

The most likely scenario for a City title is we win our remaining games, and Arsenal beat Burnley, and draw at Palace.

The goal difference to Arsenal is currently -2, and Arsenal are going to go into their game vs Burnley knowing that goal difference might be important. For the scenario to work, we are likely going to need to do more than 'just win'.

Having to shell out for Wembley again in 2-3 days time will hardly help either, a lot of people just won't be able to afford to go to the Palace game as well .... but a lot of City fans will probably feel that the title chance has gone now, and that Palace are hardly a major attraction anyway.

PGMOL had the whole season, in fact last season as well, to do something about this. It's not just City fans who have been commenting about this.

Exactly this.

Arsenal have had a free run at Arteta's shitty tactics,and nothing has been done to stop them.

This can hardly be an oversight, or blip when the outcomes have seen them gain unfair advantages, and avoid red cards despite their thuggery.

Corruption favouring a prime cabal member ?

No surprise though is it now it’s done. Gooners better make the most of this season as they will be mid-table next year :)
 
With the final on Saturday the team selection will tell a story of where Pep’s real priorities are
 
I look forward to every game. It's a tricky one this, with the cup final to come, and Wednesday/Saturday/Tuesday is a harsh little run when you are competing on two fronts. So, what are you gonna do? Shrivel away and give it up or go for it with every ounce of your being?

This would be my starting lineup in the hope that I can bring off Doku and Cherki for Semenyo and Savinho, switching Phil inside, and replace Haaland with Marmoush. Get in front and then substitutions to be ready for the cup final.

I suppose we are all guessing and hoping.
The only thing that is giving me hope in the GD department is that we have 3 games to score goals in compared to one game left for arsenal
The assumption is that arsenal don't win one of their games.
If arsenal were to put 5 past Burnley, we would have to increase our GD by 7 across 3 games without reply.
That would be difficult.

I am pretty sure that most if not all of the availability is from out of town season ticket holders who can't make a midweek game that has been re-arranged at short notice. City have made a rod for their own backs by putting seasoncard prices so high, and that makes it difficult to re-sell them on the exchange because of price. You can't reduce matchday prices if you have high seasoncard prices. They are linked.'
