Barring something crazy, today should mark the title for Pool. City still need to win out with Man U away, Burnley away, and Spurs left.
I've given up trying to figure out what's going to happen in this top 4/title race.
I'm prepared for just about any outcome, including United winning by 3 today, or Arsenal putting together their best performance of the season at Wolves.

I know this won't happen, but I'm hoping for this:
ManU 3rd, Arsenal 4th, Chelsea and Tottenham 5th and 6th. Chelsea wins the EL and gets a Champions League place. Tottenham lose out on 4th to Arsenal on the last day of the season. But Tottenham are in the CL final. A win means they'll keep Arsenal out of the CL next year. They are winning until the 90th minute and then blow it and lose. It would be hilarious.
When are these players going to want to leave Tottenham? In all seriousness, they've been performing on about the level that Arsenal was from 2006-2013 when EVERYONE wanted out. You know, just wanted to leave for a club that could actually win things. And the fucking Spud fans act like they've been above us for twenty years. Honestly, I feel like it's the twilight zone. Every year I expect their best players to leave but they just hang around on less wages than they could get elsewhere and come 3rd or 4th, don't win anything, the fans go wild and the players commit for another four years. Has Levy got them on date rape drugs? Is he fucking them up the bum and then threatening to release the pictures? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?
If you total the points over the last 7 seasons (not counting this season), Spurs are ahead of Arsenal.
Wow, that might be the dumbest stat I've ever seen. Yikes.
I'm sure the players enjoy playing Champions League football. So, I guess that eliminates quite a few of the normal contenders to pluck the players away from Tottenham.

So just completely ignore my analogy then, which is that Arsenal were in the Champions League 06-13 and players still wanted to leave, because the club wasn't winning anything.
Maybe the players were tired of playing in front of a bunch of vapid, plastic fans who are best known for being neck-tattooed YouTube stars. Or maybe the Tottenham players are enjoying playing with a manager who makes them better. Or maybe the Tottenham players realize that they can win something at Spurs.
If you need some other reasons, just let me know.

Exactly my fear, may have to rely on Wolves continuing their Top 6 magic in the final matchday.Burnley have a better defense than United.
Arsenal with 27% possession against Leicester?
Also is it pronounced like the philosopher or So-krat-is? I’ve heard it both ways
