I might pop down the pub today

Yes, it's getting tense up there, though I have to keep reminding myself that I really shouldn't care too much. Why bother getting sucked into other people's anxieties...? Quite entertaining for the relative neutral though.

Utd have the easier fixtures on paper but, as Arsenal discovered, once you find yourself on a rocky stretch it isn't always easy to get off. Speaking of whom, it should be pointed out that if neither Chelsea or Manu win one of those final 4 games, Arsenal could still win the title

And come on Reading. Do the decent thing and get relegated.

I'm just as interested in the Championship though, where, with just one game left, the title and automatic promotion places are still undecided, and any of 8 sides could end up in the 4 play-off places. And some of those needing to win to get a play-off place are playing sides who need to win to stay in the division! Only 2 games out of the 12 have no bearing on promotion and relegation. I'll be at QPR, where West Brom will want to win to take the title. And will probably do so. Our results have taken on the unmistakably lacklustre patina of a side who are immune to the risk of relegation or (considering Derby) promotion.
