How do you focus…? When it’s this hot you just stumble around, so the pod follows the trend and staggers between Manchester and London in an attempt to cover all. So we split it up into bite size pieces.
Manchester is United as a City by their title hopes, but divided when it comes to where the trophy will finish up. As United draw, City win and suddenly the Etihad has never looked so enticing. Next Monday there will be a raw of approval from both sets of fans as blue and red take to the pitch.
The second section is full of mediocrity and sadness, sugar-coated with Newcastle United and their lovely form. Kristan evaluates their ‘Top 4’ chances and The Gaffer looks into the lower half of the table.
Chelsea is section 3, how could we make it anything else? We assess their Arsenal clash and how they will do in Europe. Barcelona are formidable on paper and about as resilient as paper on current form. But their wider quality and pedigree for winning makes them outstanding favourites for this tie. Can Chelsea turn the tables and hark back to a dominant era in recent history? Join the Twitter conversation:

The Villa/Bolton game was postponed because it was Bolton’s first game after Muamba nearly died.

Great to hear the Gaffer back on. Nice job of bringing the whole group into the conversation. It’s hard to get the right mix with so many guests but it was very good.
What I think most of us do not want to talk about a lot is has this been a down year for the EPL. Many agree that this is not MAN U. best team and that City is flawed. You can run down the rest of problems with teams at the top. May be a topic for the. End of the season show.
