Is the League out of reach for Blues?

After 31 games played for the season, Manchester City now lead their nearest rivals Liverpool by 3 points and Chelsea by 4, but if this weekend was any indication, the championship is far from decided.

However, Chelsea last night missed the perfect opportunity to claw back within 1 point of City as they succummbed to a maserclass performance by Aston Villa, who clearly parked the bus all game and hit Chelsea on the counter to perfect effect. Villa in the end embarassed the Blues 3-0 in a major upset.

"We have lost this game everytime - everytime we have the opportunity to catch the leaders we drop points." SB spoke after the game.

"I said it before the game and here I am saying it again - you might as well give it to Man City now - call it - time of death."

A very negative SB showed his frustrations after the heavy defeat. But all is not lost - with City a tough run home, anything is still possible.

Rounding out the top 4 is Arsenal, who again take 4th spot over from Manchester United, who went down to a determined Blackburn over the weekend.

Can Man United come good under boss JM, after promising the fans a Top 2 finish thats looking dangerously more and more difficult week to week.

"I still believe we will finish Top 2." JM said on the Man United Website.
"We still have to play some big games as do our main rivals. It has been a disappointing year - but if we can still finish Top 2 and win our ultimate goal of Champions League - then this season is still a success."

Champions League Glory is what JM ultimately craves - having come so close last season when in charge of spanish giants Real Madrid.
