Not sat next to Eagle. Thank God!
If both us and Villa win their games in hand:

4th: City 53 points
5th: Spurs 52 points
6th: Villa 52 points

Spurs are in good form but of the top teams they have yet to play Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and us.
Of the top teams Villa are have only Chelsea and us yet to play.

Whatever happens the race for 4th is going to the wire!
 
Yeah, Villa is the one I'm looking at.

Thought we got an advantage over them yesterday, but that's out the window. Suspect there will be a few more twists like that to come yet.
 
Liverpool and Spurs for me. Villa are the team i'm least worried about.

If we don't beat Everton, Liverpool will only be 2-3 points behind us, and they have close to a fully fit squad with the experience.

I think we'll beat Villa at home . Not so sure about Spurs or Everton.

We need 3 points against Fulham really.
 
Spurs for me too. Far more composure than us and have better players. The only thing that may stop them will be their last 2-3 games but Twitch's making sure they do the business against the lower sides to have some room for error which is unlike mancini it seems. Villa will also finish above us.
 
Much as i hate the cnuts i still think spudz will get 4th, if only cause their goal difference is better than the others in the race (thank you wigwam).
I cannot rule out Villa or Liverpoo yet, although the messages coming from anfailed seem like things are not right in the squad there with Torres not happy (& going public with it) and no one to replace him.
There is no point in looking at who has to play whom in the remaining fixtures as sides near the bottom are fighting for their survival and will spring surprises, whereas playing sides that have nothing left to play for in the league, but have other trophies to play for might rest players in the league to keep them fresh for europa league or FA cup games (please Roy).
 
if we dont get forth then i do think spurs will even with their tougher run in , and although i hate spurs and twitcher,they probably would deserve it...
 
Liverpool, I could stomach any other team getting forth but not them, it is time to break the sky four. Whether we do it or not.
 
Not Villa for me, Spurs although I can see them running out of steam, L pool cause they do it year in year out

agree and sky four cant do any skullduggery this time unlike a few years back when spurs team were hit with food poisoning going into the final game,with a chance of forth..
 
Spurs for me too - but last week I thought Villa.

The weekend's results have gone as I expected, but I didn't realise that Villa's League form was so poor. They are drawing a lot of games at the moment.
 
City for me no distractions in the way

Villa will fall aside
Spuds everyone thinks the 3 games against Chelsea,Man U and Arsenal will have a big say me i think the games against Stoke and Sunderland will catch them out
Liverpool sorry but i think they will still drop points against teams they should be beating.Wigan proved it the other night

A good point today and it will become valuable come the end of the season.

I think the press are going overboard on Spurs they beat Blackburn at home but who doesn't

City to do it by 4 points
 
The game against spurs will for me decide the top 4,they are our biggest threat,much stronger squad than villa or lpool capable of winning remaining games.scousers will get beat next week and there out of the race.
