No way. PSG more likely. arse are not in the CL remember. Viera perhaps. Hope not Rodgers, Arse deserve better.

Our new head of recruitment Sven Mislintat and Tuchel depise each other from their BVB days. Tuchel banned him from the training ground , even if he wasn’t a done deal to PSG it’s a non starter unfortunately

Good win.
Not the usual implosion after a setback in a game.

Fans invaded the pitch after the final whistle at the Etihad.
For lease.

Easy to forget Jesus is just 21. Going to be a very good player, he's almost there already.

The guy has had a crazy year. Still waiting for him to come back down to Earth (God, I'm so negative) but it looks like we have our new Suarez. A guy you can count on....game in game out. He won't score EVERY game (for you sticklers)...but damn close.

Today was just more of his greatness. Makes it look so easy.

Leicester players have been on holiday for a month - very unprofessional.

Mahrez - get rid.

Sterling has been unbelievable this season. Really hope he can do it for England this summer.

Another fairly disinterested, ineffectual performance by Spurs, but an important win nonetheless.

Looked better to start the second half and probably should have scored 2 or 3 more but went back into cruise control to close it out and got a bit sloppy again.

Great win. Means CL is looking almost certain and still pushing for third. Hope you play as poorly as you have recently against us. Maybe we'll only lose by 7 or 8.

Other than Man city and possibly Burnley which other teams in the Prem do you think will feel they've had a good season?

I would say Newcastle and Brighton have had a good season as newcomers.

And if they get to avoid the relegation, Huddersfield.
