That's hardly a groundbreaking prediction!

United have 31 of the last 33 points and to win the league will have to get their highest ever points total.

Fair play to them, it's well deserved if they go on and achieve that.

There will be lots more battles for the title over the next decade and at least we will be involved.

You don't think Chelsea will?

United and City are 23 and 18 points ahead of Chelsea.

We will only get better, so I don't really see how you will make up those points. Anything can happen though, of course.

I don't even know what to say about this season any more. It's just insane. What Pardew has done is absolutely ridiculous. 2 points of third going into the last 6 games. Unreal.

Cisse is in another realm. We have far and away the best transfer policy in the league. How the fuck did some of the top 4 not pick out these players? Rather than buying on the name of a player, we've done years of scouting, and got ridiculously good value.

What a season. CL is pretty unlikely but 5th would be a dream.

Come on Mackems/Wigan/City!

I'm pretty sure we'll only get better using this season as a comparison. The summer window is going to be very interesting. Whoever will be in charge is going to have to make drastic changes. Hopefully we clintch a top 4 spot, but if not we still have the money to attract big names.

Only time will tell though, but you really can't rule Chelsea out due to a bad season.

Get in Sunderland, that's a great result for us. If we win today we'll be 3 points behind Tottenham.

Watching the Chelsea game. Totally unconvinced by them.

Shocking first half. Playing like that, we don't deserve to be in the CL next season. Awful.

We're playing as bad as we did in the reverse fixture. Major activity in the summer window is needed.

If we don't get European football I'm pointing back to this game.

Officials were absolutely dire. Chelsea were crap. Wigan deserved to win it. For fuck sake.

We got very lucky, but that's football. Wigan deserved to take something from the game, but I'm not complaining. Three vital points in the bag, we need to press on and keep winning.

On a different note, Dempsey just can't stop scoring. Great player.

He has been consistently banging me fantasy points last couple weeks... his calm, vision and control of the game is to be admired. Great, great player.

As well as an awful decision from the officials, that moment has kept us in the hunt for the CL next season.
