00:00Michael, starting with Manchester City, now obviously the title race is looming, they
00:05are preparing for these next three games, piece to that puzzle to claim another Premier
00:13League title, and the following games as well with Arsenal, travelling to Man United, I
00:20know that they're not in the best of form, but something could happen there and then
00:23Everton for them on the final day.
00:27Yeah, I mean this is obviously a big weekend in the title race, it's the last time that
00:34they'll play kind of at different times, City go first and then it's over to Arsenal. I
00:42think that, I mean this weekend, I think that Fulham's actually, I mean people have been
00:46talking for a number of weeks actually, oh Fulham you know it's a bit of a dark horse
00:49that game, it could be a bit of a, you know it could be a potential banana skin and they've
00:54got a good home record, and they do have a good home record across the season, but
00:57you have a look at the recent record, I think they haven't won in seven, they haven't won
01:02in the last three at home, they're not in, they're really not in good form. Fulham actually
01:06at the end of the season, you want to play those sides who are in the middle of the table
01:10really to play for, they're not going to be in the relegation mix-up, they're not going
01:14to be in the European places, and there was this story yesterday of Fulham players, you
01:22know they're taking it really serious, they're preparing for the game, and you know the picture's
01:25coming out of Fulham's training camp with some flying kites, which you have to laugh
01:31at, it was quite funny, but yeah listen, I mean they're a good team, Fulham, I think
01:36they'll be a good team again next season, I think Mark Silva's a good manager, but I
01:39just think at this stage of the season, those are the sides you want to play, and then I
01:42think going into the final couple of games, you've got Spurs on, you've got Arsenal at
01:48Old Trafford, I mean Manchester United are potentially one of the easiest sides to play
01:51in the Premier League at the moment, just the way they're playing, so it should be a
01:55relatively straightforward three points, although I suppose they'll fear a reaction after Monday's
01:59nights. Capitulation, Palace, and then going into those fixtures next week, I think for
02:04City, I mean obviously the big one is the game in hand at Spurs, I think they're going
02:08to play that, they win that game, they win the title, and it's been looking like that
02:11for a couple of weeks, but more and more so I think that is the case now. They've got
02:15a terrible record at Tottenham, they haven't won there in the Premier League, haven't scored
02:19there in the Premier League, they did win there in the FA Cup in January, but prior
02:23to that, it's been a ground they've really struggled at, but at the same time Spurs have
02:28completely imploded in these last few weeks, they probably are going to have nothing to
02:31play for as well, because potentially by the time we get to the weekend, they will know
02:35for a fact they are going to finish fifth, so that's another side I think you want to
02:39play at the moment. There's a little bit more pride at stake for Spurs, I don't think they'll
02:44want to end the season with a bit of a whimper, so that's obviously the game in the midweek
02:50game, and in the final match of the season, West Ham, I mean listen, Morley's obviously
02:53going to be his last West Ham game, but he's got a terrible record away at the top side,
02:58they look their end of the season awfully, West Ham as well, all those teams in the middle
03:03are just having terrible ends to the season, so I think that'll be a pretty straightforward
03:07one as well personally, and City don't really slip up at home, so I just think, I mean Sky
03:12have been building this huge title race, massive stuff for weeks, it hasn't gone that way,
03:17and I was at the Wolves game at the weekend, and the Etihad was very flat I have to say,
03:22and I know City fans don't like that, but it was, and they didn't feel a sense of tension
03:27or jeopardy in the ground, and I don't think it's going to be that way for the final few
03:31weeks, so I think City will win all three games and will relatively comfortably actually
03:35win the title in the end.
