This is an interesting table - the EPL since the end of September and it shows just how bad Everton's form has been since a promising start to the season when they were joint 2nd after 6 games. It also shows how well Arsenal have done since then and how bad Man U have been. Man U v Spurs at the weekend, if Spurs can win that then maybe it is Spurs v the Arse for 4th spot

PSG spend all the money and it just never works
Bundled out by the never-dead Real Madrid. So it's back to winning their one-horse-race of a French League.
Bayern, City, Liverpool and Real all through to quarters. And it's hard to see the winner not coming from there.

@mariner4life The reigning champs are still in with a shout. They're not as good as the teams you mention, but the same was true last year.

that's very fair
I look forward to what new and interesting way City find to balls this up

Of next week's games, all of the teams look flawed except Chelsea although Ajax are pretty impressive at times. At half-time with a 2-0 aggregate lead, surely PSG had to take it to at least extra time. Poch certainly seems pretty clueless about making a great team of a randomly assembled team of stars - so perfect for Man U to swoop for him at the end of the season.

Chelsea football club has been seized by the UK govt due to sanctions imposed on the owner.
The conditions they are able to operate under are very limiting and designed to stop any money going to Abromivich
Quite an incredible day and all this on Chelsea’s 117th birthday!

That will be very interesting. I suspect many of the staff on the day to day operational side are 'imports'.
Security at Stamford Bridge certainly all looked like extras from a Russian Mob movie. -
Might be too late for us to make a push for European football, but Villa are playing some beautiful football right now. Just a shame Gerrard took a little too long to find our best side but I think we can really push for European football next year with a couple more signings.

I am shocked, shocked that Chelski bought success with KGB/ Russian mob money. Who knew?

They're not called Cheatski for nothing! Roman just wrote off 1.5bn in loans to the club as well. So much for FFP

It was a good run, who knows what the future holds.

They get sold for a cheap (relatively speaking) deal to a Tory doner who doesn't splash as much cash and they regress into a team hunting 4th place I suspect.

Chelsea have won more trophies than any other English club since Abramovich took over but that relied on him not being worried about losing money each season. That won't be a sustainable business model for the new owner, especially if they are American.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat trick for Manure against Spurs. Tom Brady was there as guest of honour.

Losing money?
He paid 170 mill lent 1.5b and wants 3B for the club.
He was never losing money! Until a week ago at least ….

Hard to see how he would have got £3b with the stadium ownership restrictions.
Will be interesting to see the developments this week and if they are granted a license to sell the club. If the govt want to oversee the process it will not happen quickly.

If the government is involved it will be a clusterfuck. I still don't see how one's citizenship makes one aa criminal who deserves to have assets confiscated from them. If he bought it with proceeds of illegitimate activities, why didn't they do something about that previously?
City three points ahead with 10 games remaining. I'd say Liverpool need to win at Etihad to have a chance, something they haven't managed for a while.

City play Palace tomorrow morning and Palace are a bogey team for them. In the race for 4th, Spurs lost ground as all their rivals won meaning West Ham and Wolves are still in the race. At the bottom, Leeds marmalised Norwich, conceded a 90th minute equaliser and then grabbed a winner - scenes etc. Everton's position is looking worse and worse and maybe Lampard is not the man you need at this point. They have been in the top division since season 1954-55, only Arsenal have a longer run.

Not since November 2015, although they have had one Champions League win at the Etihad since - and a couple of good old fashioned hidings.

Mickey Mousers will be happy with this mornings result.
Nil - Nil City v Palace
