That's part one complete and on target.. great game to round off the season at home. Now in 3rd, one more game to see this through, assuming unfairly that Arsenal will get a win away at Fulham, for once i really can't see a nothing to play for Bolton putting in a performance to keep up for it City at bay. In addition Tevez is now level leading goalscorer with flop the berba.. I certainly wouldn't be putting money on Bolton's defence to keep the little man from bagging the golden boot.
Tevez on fire, City with 3rd in their sights and their tail well and truly in the air, Joe Hart to extend his record.. FA Cup Winners mentality and credibility to defend. Nah, for once this one is going to City.

Fulham will be up for it. They still have a good chance at 7th, which would equal their highest ever league finish. These days the Fair Play backdoor is now tantamount to a ticket to the 1st round of the old Intertoto, so even if they get it (which they probably will regardless) you'd think it would be secondary to a good league finish. Plus Les hates Wenger.

Hopefully it's all immaterial. Bolton won't fancy playing us after the week we've had.

Hope Les will do us a favour!

We are the form team in the whole league, and no doubt if the season went on for another month, we would take the title, so Saturday has no fears for me. Arsenal must be bricking it though!
If we can take this into next season, there's no reason not to go all the way, that's not arrogance, over confidence etc! but this side gives me such a lift the way they play.
I love the coolness we show at the back, and the understanding and focus this side have.

I think we can safely assume that Hughes is not going to help City finish in 3rd place, if he has anything to do with it!

I would take my chance with Fulham. If Arsenal were playing the rags at the swamp, I would put my house on the Scum throwing the game

We will finish 3rd guaranteed ,Bolton can be dangerous but our players have proved everyone wrong and shown they are fully focused,proved all the doubters wrong (including myself) and are fully committed to the cause ,Only shame this season is that there ar'nt enough games left ,we would catch the scum on this form :-)

Would love to pip Arsenal to third. Their fans have been very condescending to us last year and this year, especially at the start of the season. I bet they would never have imagined we would be above them with one game to play.
