I think City will run away with the league in the end. It's a shame really, because below them it's a really fascinating season.

I think the relegation line this season is going to be high, I could see it being close to 40 points.
Yeah at the moment it really only looks like Wolves are in real trouble. Lack of strikers, average team, can’t find a manager and trouble in the board room.

I think Bournemouth are probably also likely candidates. And I still think Forest but looking like one of the more difficult years as everyone is picking up wins down there

Watching motd this morning. Does sock boy get an assist for conning the ref to get the free kick that De Bruyne scored a brilliant goal from?

Commentator said Grealish touched by Mendy which sums him up.

Arsenal one up against Nottingham and could easily be 2 or 3 nil.

Not the best opposition obviously but at some point or another you have to think Arsenal are really challenging for that 2nd place in the league.

Meanwhile in Sweden, BK Häcken is going to win Allsvenskan for the first time.

"Häcken" means "the arse" in Swedish. Maybe a sign for Arsenal?

What's the story there? Money?
Money and clever recruitment for years and years.

We have the 51% rule over here so there's no private investors but the club is running the biggest youth cup in the world and make some £4-5m a year from that, which is a lot for a Swedish team.

Happy to see Malmö fail to win it because historically 10 or so teams could challenge for the league title every year and I prefer it that way.

BK Häcken used to be absolutely amazing - and all the Swedish teams in general - in earlier Champ Manager games. Kim Källstrom was an absolute beast in that game, led my Woking side to Champions League glory. Good times.

Then I saw him play finally for realsies on TV and was bitterly disappointed.

Interesting. I follow Hammarby. Disappointing they tailed off at the end as usuals.

Notts Forest are straight back down, how come we couldn't beat them?
Exactly what i was thinking. They kept a clean sheet against us not because of some brilliant defensive performance, we were just crap in front of goal that day. Should have been the easiest 3 points of the season.

On the stream im watching 3 times they've said 'what great support from the Forest fans, they're right behind their team' and then cut to a shot of the away end and its all just miserable faces, not making any noise, and some empty seats. Sometimes there seems to be this strange arse kissing to the historically big teams. Very odd.

Well Nottingham Forest were pretty shit, to be honest. Arsenal look very good.
