Tottaham does not deserve or even need the CL at this time; they would do better in the Europa League. The only honourable thing the Spur fans need right now is the team to lose tomorrow and prevent Arsenal from winning the league in order to maintain a healthy rivalry. Life without Harry Kane is difficult, but making the Europa League is already an important achievement for them this season.

I was not thrilled with City's approach against Fulham; they won but had many loose ends, which Spurs may exploit, but I believe Pep approaches each game differently.

On Football facts; Arsenal deserves to win the league but for the sake of side bets and London sanity, I would rather have City win it every season.

I feel like you about Spurs except for the Son factor. I think his loyalty deserves the highest stage, he's one of the best EPL players totally underrated. I think the problem with him and Kane was they stayed loyal, maybe that's a fault. Surrounded by mediospursity, it's not really surprising.

With all that Kane money what did they buy?

Pep tried Fulham different because he could afford to, he won't do it again with Spurs. That was a mindgame

I don't know why you want City every season winning, I would lose interest

Not Loyalty - Kane wanted to move a long time ago, but Daniel Levy is a difficult man to deal with; he signed players with no sell clauses in their contracts, so only he can determine when you leave.

 I don't feel sorry for Son; he had the option to play for better teams, and as Mourinho stated, Son should not be playing for Tottenham.

Manchester City is far from London, with only 0.005% of fans in Nigeria, so whatever happens, we can sleep well because no one cares except Manchester United fans. If Chelsea cannot win, City should.

I think Liverpool has no extra motivation,they know that this season was lost and they are happy with a Champions League appareance.

They did enough to give Tottenham some hope for a 4th placed finish and an extra motivation tonight. If Tottenham can win it will be a 2-point gap between them and Villa, they are playing relegated Sheffield and Villa are playing in form Palace, both away. If Palace show any of the form they have shown recently they can win Villa.

I will be cheering spursy this weekend if they can put in a proper shift tonight.

Tottenham's chances for the Champions League are purely mathematical, I don't really understand why everyone started talking about them. A win over City is worth 6.60, a win for Crystal Palace at Aston Villa is worth 2.12, a win for Tottenham over Sheffield is worth 1.32. Total we have 6.6*2.12*1.32 = 18.46 Roughly speaking, 5.5 percent.
I would be happy if Tottenham at least took points from City, but they don't look capable of that.

Wait what? Where do you get the 5.5 'percent' from? Im assuming you divide those by 3 so that would be 6.15 but hey its weird and I dont think this make any sense.

Im tired watching Manchester City keep on dominating the league so I'd rather watch Arteta claim the trophy this season lol. That being said, I need Tottenham to win or atleast gets a draw tonight against City. Its going to be close to impossible task for Ange given how bad they are on the last 5 game but I really need them to make this league even more interesting until the very last second

Tottenham played quite good against Manchester City in the first half. Frankly while their chance for top 4 was this weak I wasn't expecting them to show this much resistance against Manchester City. Still I expect City to win in the second half.When it comes to the pool I think that a miracle is needed for me to win a prize from now on as only the ones entering top 10 are going to win prizes this season.

After 82 minutes Manchester City is still leading by 0–1 which mean now we have just 9 minutes left for ending of Arsenal's title hope and Tottenham for 4th spot their poor performance in last few weeks give them big setback with in first half of the season they were the strong candidate for the top four now they are going for the Europa League.
Manchester City deserve title with Haaland also deserve the golden boot for having another impressive season which helps his team for winning title again, this is their sixth title in seven years which is surely amazing performance from them.

Vamos! My respect to Tottaham fans for keeping quiet all game to give the team zero support, kept to their words "fuck CL we don't want Arsenal to win the league" and started singing after going 2-0 down to mock Arsenal..

Fck I can sleep well tonight...

The coefficient is inversely proportional to the probability. Therefore, divide 1 by 18.46 and get 0.054 ~= 5.5%

Maybe I’m wrong and in the context of the confrontation with Arsenal this behavior is normal for Tottenham fans, but it seems a shame to me  
With this approach, the club will never gain subjectivity and will not begin to claim titles.
And the end of the season where Tottenham was going to “determine the title owner” turned out to be funny: they lost to literally all the contenders.

Congrats. Send me your BTC address. It's finished. I have no more hopes. No one wants Arsenal to be the winner. How come they chanted yesterday "Are you watching Arsenal?".

I had a good amount staked on Arsenal to win the PL. All gone.

It is confirmed. The sh*t club will be playing Europa League football next season. Congratulations to Villa for returning to the best club competition, a much better representative than spursy.

We will keep hoping till the end of the season. Come on You Goonerz!!

Guess I don't really know the intricacies of Premier League. Seems like a similar world in La Liga or at least in Barcelona where many players wanted to leave but somehow their club didn't make it easy for them. Then again, for some, like Messi, he didn't even know where he was going or if he was staying. Feels like sometimes some players are prisoner.

I totally get you actually. But here in Singapore or Indonesia, City fans are like those plastic mushrooms that only popped up several years ago. To be fair, you also saw Chelsea fans pop up around 2004. The old Chelsea fans were very few, and I respected them because they loved their club who never won anything but after Russian money arrived suddenly everybody was wearing Drogba

At least I sort of respected Liverpool and Spurs fans even from back then, they were shit for a long time, never won EPL and still had fans.

I agree tho I read about Spurs fans singing when their team losing, that's such a stupid attitude.

I never doubt the recent performance of villa as they start their game even when I know that they are meeting man city thought the game would even be a work over for man city at first half but turn favouring them, most small team are performing well , my game would have cut but scale through just that one club spoiled my game , villa is betting up and will do more better unexpectedly.

No bro! It's not until it's over - I want to walk with you till the end.

Success, without a doubt, increases your fan base, and it is difficult for non-city clubs like Chelsea and others to compete with city clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United, where nearly everyone who grew up there became a fan right away.

98% of my state's population supports our local club, Rivers United, in the Nigeria Premier League, good or bad. Liverpool dominated in the 1980s, Manchester United dominated in the 1990s, and Chelsea rose to prominence in the 2000s, so most of our fans emerged from the cave once the team provided us with something to be proud of.

Claimed 1 spot back and looking good to keep it, maybe even in a shout to challenge Saint-loup for 3rd. Omikfuse keeping his advantage intact, he'll deservedly walk away with a huge prize. Joca97 safe in top3 as well.

United is a really badly assembled team but I like Kobbie Mainoo a lot. I say that every time I watch him play, the kid's got superstar potential.

I like that kid too, surprised to say I've watched quite a few United games in flashes and when he plays, the team just look more exciting. Just hope they instil enough discipline in him so he doesn't go Rashford (someone I still like, just struggle to understand his recent decisions, he's not a teen anymore).

Early well done to the Top 5s, you're all pretty much guaranteed to walk away with something decent here.

Chelsea started to show quite good performances in the late times of the season. They managed to collect 13 points in the last 5 matches. For next season, I think that they have a big chance for top 4. I was checking the side bets as the end of the season was approaching. If Haaland doesn't score 7 goals on the last week I'm going to pay cryptofrka's PL pool entry fee next season. If Haaland didn't get injured during the season I think I would be the winner of this side bet.

My newcastle bet against you looked decent up until about 3 weeks ago, haha. Do you have a link handy for the spreadsheet with all those bets?

I was thinking that you would absolutely be the winner. However from this day on there is a little miracle required for Newcastle to finish the league ahead of Chelsea. Maybe I might make a combined bet for this small probability on the last week.

Here is the spreadsheet link for the side bets

You won the side bet against me 20 games into the season - Stone can't even catch a break.   

Chelsea topping Newcastle means I'm losing $50 to Harkorede, can't believe I went against my club but yal fuck it as long as I'm gonna play the Europa league next season after a terrible start I don't care much. We need to finish strong and pray Manchester wins the FA cup.
