Except for a small blip in the 16^th minute Man City was in total control. City defeated Aston Villa 3-1.

This loss kills Villa’s chances of making it to the Champions League.

Villa drew first blood on a great counter attack. John Carew ripped the twines to give Villa the early 1-nil lead.

Man City kept up the pressure. The pressure finally got to Aston Villa when City’s Adam Johnson was taken down in the right side of the box.

Carlos Tevez powered the PK past Villa keeper Brad Friedel in the 41^st to tie this baby up at one all.

Fifteen seconds later Villa’s John Carew hit a perfect shot. It went clang off the cross bar.

City whamo bamo flies down the other end of the pitch. Emmanuel Adebayor hits a winner in the 43^rd minute to give City a huge 2-1 lead.

Villa tried to mount a comeback but Man City was too strong.

Craig Bellamy’s strike in the 89^th minute sealed the deal for City.

Tottenham kept pace by beating Bolton 1-0.

Tom Huddlestone hit for pay dirt in the 38^th minute for Spurs.

Tottenham hangs on the final Champions League with the win on Saturday.

Spurs have 67 points. City has 66.

With Villa losing, this drops them to sixth place with 64 points.

The final Champions League will probably come down to Spurs City’s match on Wednesday May 5^th.

Can you say for all the marbles?

The winner should nail down the final spot.

At the other end of the spectrum, Burnley was given their walking papers.

Birmingham doubled up on The Clarets 2-1.

Voce vai Burnley.

Portsmouth picked a win over Wolverhampton 3-1.

This was a nice win for the heave-hoe team Pompey.

So far, Burnley and Portsmouth are outta here.

Hull City will probably get the axe on Sunday.

West Ham is in 17^th place with 34 points.

The Tigers have 28 points.

We got the result we needed. All we have to do is beat Stoke City at Britannia later today and we are in like Flynn.

Us Arsenal fans know we can always blow it but I sure hope not.

Three points will give the Gunners 58 points. We will be three points behind Chelsea.

Chelsea had their lunch handed to them by Man City 4-2.

Three players hit the daily double City’s Bellamy, Tevez, and Chelsea’s Lampard.

Chelsea started out strong.

The Blues took the early lead on a powerful strike by Frank Lampard in the 42^nd minute.

The match changer happened right at the end of the first half.

A great block by City’s Wayne Bridge and whamo we are off to the races. Tevez breaks free and beats two Blues defenders.

The Carlos man hits a weak shot that rolls past the keepers Henrique Hilario’s outstretched paw. The ball does a slow roll into the back of net to level this sucker up at one all at break.

City was in charge after that.

Bellamy’s goal in the 51^st   minute made it 2-1.

Bellamy’s goal was the classic counter attack futebol. In a flash City was off to the races into the Blues end of the pitch.

This was Katie bar the door.

The Blues were hung out to dry when they pushed everyone into the offensive end of the pitch.

Tevez made it 3-1 after he nailed the PK in the 76^th minute.

Bellamy hit for the daily double in the 87^th minute.

Lampard added a cosmetic PK in the 90^th minute.

You gotta love this.

Chelsea blows apart at home.

The race is on.

All we have to do is win baby.

This is not the start I was looking for. Arsenal gave up an easy goal off a great throw in by Stoke City’s Rory Delap in the 8^th minute. Shawcross headed the ball to Danny Pugh. Pugh nailed the bounce close range header into the open net. Pugh was camped near the far left post. 

We are down 1-0.

This stinks big time.

We need to regroup. We need to attack and score.

Finally, Arsenal gets the equalizer from Nicklas Bendtner in the 32nd minute off a great pass from mate Cesc Fabregas.

Bendtner showed some serious hops when out leaped a couple of Stoke City defenders to ram home the header.

So, whatever we do lets not have a repeat performance of what happened here at Britannia in the fourth round of the FA Cup. We tied it up and gave up three-second half goals.

We are at the break. Arsenal and Stoke City are knotted up at one all.

We need to come out in the second half and smoke em badly.

This is totally insane. Stoke City’s Shawcross made a stupid challenge on Arsenal forward Aaron Ramsey.

Ramsey is leveled. Shawcross is given the heave-hoe in the 66^th minute.

Ramsey is carted off and sent to hospital. Ramsey’s leg is broke.

This is a killer.

The good news it is still one all.

We have the man advantage.

We finally got the break we needed. The guys applied a ton of pressure on Stoke City’s “D”. It paid off when Bendtner fired a shot into the box. Whamo, bamo, a handball by Pugh. A PK is given. Fabregas nailed the gimmie in the 90^th minute to give us the 2-1 lead.

Seven minutes of added time are to be played.

We tickled the twines in the 94^th minute to make 3-1.

Fabregas fired a great ball to Thomas Vermaelen. Vermaelen knocks home the walk in goal to salt this baby away.

Instead of going for the whole enchilada, Fabregas saw his mate was in a better position to score.

Yep, guys it’s in the books.

Three points for us.

This is a huge road win for the Gunners.

It is 3-1 for Arsenal.

Paybacks are a bitch aren’t they.

The race for the title is on baby.

It will be a full sprint to the finish between the Blues, Man U, and the Gunners.

Chelsea has 61 points. Man U has 60 and Arsenal has 58.
