Many ex-pros who are now pundits are beyond insufferable at times - especially early in their careers, Redknapp as an example. I thought he'd take some time and give decent analysis, because that is the norm within English punditry.

To have someone come in with reasoned opinion, who embraces the modern game (and doesn't yearn for the 'old days') is really nice. I expected him to be rubbish, because most pundits are rubbish!

[Yudster]

Fair enough! I have to say I think Jamie Redknapp used to be better before Gary Nev came along - he seems to have decided that he has to represent a particular viewpoint or something, and he seems to think his job is to provide an alternative viewpoint to Nev, with the result (because as you say, Nev is SO good) that he is constantly making a bit of a tit of himself this season! Makes for some entertaining Studio sessions.

Draw with Chelsea the other day, we'll take that thank you very much.

[Yudster]

I hope Wigan stay up. I have a real soft spot for them.

[Johnny 1989]

I want Wigan to stay up as well, never any agro from their fans (mainly because sadly a lot of the residents of Wigan aren't interested or can't afford to watch both the rugby & football so choose the rugby over the football.) and they do try.

In all honesty if any team "deserve" (and I don't mean that in a callous way) to go down it's Villa, that game today against Man Utd just showed how poor a team they have become, McLeish has made a bad team worse & I can see him doing the same to Villa as he did with Birmingham.

I think Wolves who are definitely down this year so far, shame really as I feel sorry for Terry Connor he's essentially had to take over the team that no one really wanted, the whole point of sacking Big Mick was to bring someone in to improve the team, in all honesty the board has to take a big part of the blame for Wolves relegation (amongst other things).

Well, I have to say Well Done to Chelsea (even if as an Arsenal fans it's completely against the code ) not many beat Barca, usually they hammer a team once they've let one in their own net. Now you've just got to make sure you can do the same in the second leg.

Also want to say well done to Reading, Charlton & Fleetwood on winning their leagues, especially to Chris Powell for turning Charlton round after several seasons of mediocrity.

Just wondering who people think/want to come up to the Premier League next year, Reading are up again & Southampton are making a welcome return (for me at least), I personally hope Blackpool come up next year, always thought it was a shame they went down last year, also Birmingham have done very well under Chris Houghton so wouldn't mind them coming back up.

Don't really have a problem with the Hammers although some of their fans I know at work are flash * so another season down there may shut them up a bit & with Cardiff I'll be honest I don't think they'll come up, they try every year when they finish in the playoffs and they always bugger it up.

Fair play to Chelsea, I've had my criticism of them lately but tonight they were absolute superb at the back. Magnificently organised and orchestrated. Credit where its due, they deserved to win. They subdued a flying Barca, who just could not find a way through thanks to ridiculously good defending.

Drogba had a good game, it's a shame he marred it with a healthy dose of playacting in the first half. I was glad Barca didn't give the ball back, because what he was doing was so obvious and disrespectful. Bar that, he did exactly what Di Matteo would have wanted him to do. Under AVB, I'd never have imagined they could actually defend like that. I have not seen Barca that under the cosh going forward for a long time.

[Bonanzoid]

Suarez may be a bit of a tool, but what a goal!

[MK Chris]

For 'bit of a tool' read 'racist piece of shit', right?

[DevilsDuck]

I'm feeling a little bit sick at the prospect of tonights match.

[chrysostom]

£25 on Wellbeck to score anytime is my pick (returns £80).

City are going to be going hammer and tongs - Utd can't afford to lose. It's the most dramatic match in years.

Still not as dramatic as Liverpool - Arsenal '89.

Man City 5 Man Utd 0

Now that was a season, Michael Thomas is still one of the greatest IMO

For me I hope United win, as much as I dislike Ferguson I respect him as a manager, he can get the best out of lesser players whereas Manchini has a bottomless pit of money & can buy the league if he wants (or could still possibly this year). Plus Nasri can * off.

[DevilsDuck]

Good god... I have never seen so many Liverpool fans in my life(more than at any Liverpool match this season at the pub) . The better team won on the night though.... Grrrr, I blame Park

[Bonanzoid]

Dire game, but the marginally better team won. City for the league, please!

[chrysostom]

I want Utd to get it, I hope City mess up somewhere along the way - their players will be under a LOT of pressure.

[Bonanzoid]

Uni work has taken a back seat today, I can't work until 5pm at least.

[bmstinton93]

Wow.

[The Deadly]

What an amazing day.

[DevilsDuck]

Urghhhh! Congratulations city, the better team won over the course of the season, the points prove it but....Urghhhh!

[Yudster]

I'm just glad its over!

[The Deadly]

Bayern will win by 4 0r 5 tonight.

[Yudster]

If it was Real Madrid I would be supporting them but as its Bayern - Come On Chelsea.
