Villa will be a tough game, relegation is still very real for them.

Re: The race for the Top 4

Looking at the table we could easily make second.

I'd have that.

Should be the target. Sod top 4. Scraping 4th for a side that went into the season hoping to defend their title is shambolic.

Aim should be 2nd ......
But who knows if will finish in that position .
That defence looked really sloppy again today .

Re: The race for the Top 4

The pendulum has swung back in our favour slightly.

Now 2 points behind Arsenal, and 1 point behind United. Arsenal have got Chelsea at home next week, and United are away at Evrton. We've got Villa at home. Even though they won today, I still fancy us to beat them next week. We're also now 7 points in front of Liverpool and Spurs. Liverpool are away at West Brom, which won't be easy, and Spurs are away to Southampton. By this time next week we could be 2nd again on goal difference.

If we beat Villa we will go 2nd

Re: The race for the Top 4

Arsenal and United still have to play each other so one is guaranteed to drop points.

We play Saturday and with a win can go second and put the pressure on. United play Everton (A) and Arsenal are at home to Chelsea; it's not unreasonable to suggest at least one if not both could drop points there as well.

Spurs away stills has me a tad anxious which is why I'd like Everton to take something off United next week.

A draw and they both drop 2 points, which for me is the ideal outcome of that game. We've just got to win some football matches. Come on City!!1

I hope Benteke takes the week off next weekend, and I hope the players are too worried about the cup final to turn up next weekend. They look in good nick, and up for it, will be a tough game.

What will be doubly delicious will be to watch the Talkshyte 'pundits' having their ' told you so' w@nkstain analyses spat back in their ugly Skycorp / global-plastic faces....

Messers Boiled-bollock-Brazil...plasticcockerneygloryhunterredGoldstein, and the rest of that shower of thick shyte fumbling around for more disingenuous excuses for their favoured teams' performances...

Talkshyte anthem...

On this premise, we'll fib and lie
We're here to win a ratings war
So that's our pitch , we're ratings whores..."

And don't forget Villa beat them at White Hart Lane.

We have a really hard run in and we are not playing the likes of West Ham from now on.

Still think it will be touch and go for top four the way we defend.
