Yes 4-2-3-1. Liverpool are already difficult to break down & able to keep possession handily so bombing forward with attack minded wingers & wing-backs would be my way of going.
Man Utd
Chelsea
Man City
Arsenal
Liverpool
Swansea

Shall we get some snap predictions for tomorrow and next weekend?
1st - Man City
2nd - Man Utd
3rd - Tottenham
4th - Arsenal
Relegated - QPR
European Cup - Chelsea
Promoted to Premier League - West Ham
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
1st - Man City
2nd - Man Utd
3rd - Arsenal
4th - Tottenham
Relegated - Bolton
Promoted - West Ham
Champions League - Bayern Munich
City will beat QPR convincingly but I can't see Bolton winning away at Stoke so QPR will stay up even after getting a hiding.
I called Bayern for the Champions League when the Quarter Final draw was made. No-one at work listened and now they can shut the hell up. With home field advantage and quite a few Chelsea players missing I think they'll be too strong.
1st Man City
2nd Man Utd
3rd Spurs
4th Arsenal
Munich will beat Chelsea, Blackpool will go up (hopefully), Everton will finish above Liverpool, and Bolton will beat Stoke and stay up. I also don't think City will beat QPR well, I think it'll be a tense 1 or 2 nil.
Also, have you seen the new Man Utd kit? Looks god awful.

SERGIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
dude the wrost part of the whole thing, i was literally opening in the thread, the thread was open as i was coming in to post like how i was right that city are city and you all are wrong, i was literally scrolling to type it as dzeko's header went in behind me, i wasn't even happy i just thought "why give me this false hope smurfs sake 3 minutes left" and then sergio, oh my god sergio, the noise i made smurfing hell. i can't even, oh man. oh man.
one word old manus, just one, and i will ban you forever
also in less important news, what a smurfing finale. Made up for City. Truly only one team deserved the title this season and I'm glad the right team won it. It was a glorious day for football all round. Almost.
Also respect to Alex Ferguson for this. Although he did not win, he got the best out of a relatively (compared to the United teams of the past 20 years) weak United squad and pushed City all the way. Incredibly talented man.
I'm in awe, well not really, Newcastle lost hard but we still finished 5th at least but dat finale... When City were trailing I was hoping, for the first and hopefully the last time in my life for Sunderland to score a goal but good god dat game! gqeljkqklj3gkljklhf MY HEAD ASPLDOED
LET THE HAMMER FALL
The circle is complete.
Also, WAT. I was on a 3 hour bus journey from Aberystwyth to Carmarthen, flitting in and out of areas with phone signal, refreshing the BBC live text commentary over and over. Everything was perfect at half time with City winning the title and QPR going down and the Swans not conceding, but holy trout balls.
I got onto a train at Carmarthen with 20 minutes of normal time to go in all games, and watched in awe as the news of turnarounds and counter turnarounds slowly filtered through the carriages. Someone shouts 'ONE NIL SWANSEA, DANNY GRA-HOLY trout IT'S 3-2 MAN CITY' and suddenly peoples' phones are going off and all we want is to get off the train and ensure we weren't part of some Jeremy Beadle comedy show. We pulled into Swansea and are joined by all the Liverpool fans leaving the ground (including two heathen pool fans who were from Manchester). None of them cared about the game, the only talk was of events at the Etihad.
Football, bloody hell.
there was a picture here
Phew, just about limped over the line but very glad to have secured 3rd after a chaotic season.
And oh yeah, Joey Barton probably shouldn't go near Old Trafford any time soon.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Wow. Absolutely incredible. It would have been a massive injustice had we won the title. City have been the best team in the premiership by far. They should have won it more comprehensively to tell the truth but I suppose that just wouldn't be City!
Enjoy your night, lads. Come back when you've won 19! (did I really say that??)
Joey Barton vs The whole Manchester City squad || 13/5/12. - YouTube I dunno how to embed videos so this will have to do. Is it just me or, does Tevez elbow Barton first? I mean yeah sure Barton didn't START it but he sure as hell finished it, woosh...
Anyone know what happened with Cahill and Cabaye?
LET THE HAMMER FALL
Steady on. I used to quite enjoy saying "come back when you've won 18" and look where that got me...!
Joey Barton incident is hilarious. I always thought it would be funny if a player, after getting sent off, immediately went and crippled the opposition team's star player for a laugh.
Also Cahill and Cabaye are both nasty s so it's hardly surprising they'd get involved in a bit of aggro.
I liked how Balotelli was at first trying to square upto him then ended up trying to chat to him in a friendly manner, such an amusing character he's turned out to be!
