West Ham is massive, as Barney says.

But are Burnley going to put up much of a fight?

Are Palace going to put up much of a fight when they've potentially got the Conference League final coming up?

So I think next weekend really does look crucial.

And City will have played twice by the time Arsenal play next, I think.

Is that right?

They've got Brentford on Saturday.

So it could be Arsenal going to that West Ham game.

Already with an actual points advantage, not a sort of an advantage that could potentially be clawed back just by City playing games.

And if then they've got, you know, they go into that game with a two point advantage, they could make that five points by beating West Ham with two pretty easy end of season games to come.

Then, yeah, they're in a really, really strong position.

Well, and there is still the beautiful possibility that City don't win the title because of the Holland goal that was ruled out at Anfield.

oh yes which we all were a bit sad that it well no you weren't of course you weren't stickler wilson no no i wasn't i thought that was that was a completely correct decision in law and i i despise the weak-minded people who can't see that and law is the right word they are laws they are fixed they are formed by a judiciary and we must respect them they're not just rules made about some blokes

I mean, if you look at the document itself, Barney, it says laws of the game.

No, but who is?

It's Howard Webb, former policeman.

He had it pronounced South Yorkshire accent, didn't he?

Famously Judge Dredd.

Howard Webb is an anagram of Judge Dredd.

I did not famously hate that game.
