Haven't followed to closely, but damn , they were up 3-0 on CP , they were 10 mins away from clinching if I'm not mistaken, and they blew it. Wow.

Liverpool could not have clinched... they were tied with City in points and unless they were to outscore their opponents by 10 more than City outscored theirs in the final 2 games, City winning out would still be a title. Now, Liverpool has to win by 14 even if City ties. Only way to a title is a City loss.

Media making it sound impossible for City to lose the championship to Liverpool... I disagree, one slip-up and the Reds can still come out on top.

Realistically the title was lost when they couldn't secure a point at home against Chelsea. A point there, and the three expected against Palace and Newcastle and Liverpool wins the league.

But the collapse against Palace was brutal.

City did almost lose when they were in a similar title chase with United though... before that stoppage time comeback.

City to draw tomorrow. Then the story will be over a billion spent on a team to win the league twice only on goal differential......

NYCFC (Manchester City + New York Yankees in MLS) scares the shit out of me already.

Let's go Citizens!
