Honestly?

Wonder whether it'll be like Friday night football that never really happened or if its more like Monday night where there is one every week?!

Good stuff West Ham!

Well if there was any lingering doubt in any  folks mind about City winning the league that there nails it for sure. Shame the league title won't be competitive at all this season....

Jose has conceded it

Utd are twats though, so glad they lost

[Hugh Jass]

I’m cheered by the two hundred quid I won courtesy of Bet365.

Everton stole a point in that match, I thought Klopp made a big mistake starting with Solanke..

Man City won the league after 16 games, look so like the Wenger cup could be interesting though.

Standard of the league shocking.

terrible. It must be why there's 5 Prem teams in the last 16 of the Chumps.

4 of which won their group!

[Wooderson]

Teams from the 80s would embarrass some of these sides. Utd were shite yesterday. Everton a disaster.

[The Nal]

Standard in the Prem is superb at the minute. Are City the best team in Europe? Heads and shoulders above anyone in the prem anyway.

Althought for some perspective 4 had the highest wages budgets in their group as well, with Tottenham finishing one position above their wage budget and Chelsea one position below. I think the knockouts should give a better idea about where these clubs really are.

From my perspective City, Man U and Liverpool have all improved this season, while Chelsea have gone back. At this stage Im not convinced Arsenal or spurs have changed singificantly.

Need to beat a big European side over 2 legs to show that. Luckily for them the points buffer in the premiership will make squad rotation easier.

[Hugh Jass]

City drawing one of Real Madrid, Juve or Bayern later would be great, as said above beating one of those over two legs would be a huge statement from them. There's no reason to think they couldn't either.

[jyoung]

Yeah City have won the league, haven't they?! Can't argue against that anymore. They're steamrolling it. What I would say is that it makes the Champions League even more interesting. Those other four English teams will know that the EPL belongs to City and although still competing for top four spots, may fancy putting more of their eggs into the European basket... Looking forward to the draw and some great games.

They had it won 2 months ago. Utd beating them was the very last chance but without Pogba in midfield it was never happening. 

3 wins a draw since Big Sam took over at the Ev. Relegation avoided already which is why they brought him in I suppose.

Wasn't ready to let go mate but not got much choice now.

[Wooderson]

Chelsea/Spudds/Arse/LFC all gone backwards. City have financially doped their way to a good defence and thus are now "the best team in Europe". Utd are about as interesting to watch as Bray Wanderers. Samuel coaching the Ev. The league is shite.

[Wooderson]

Utd can't compete when one player is out? Fuck off.

[jyoung]

City definitely through to the next round of CL as well. Sorry Basel.

Certainly after the Moyesiah raising WH from the dead!

Can't compete, certainly with City, when Pogba is out yeah. Unfortunate but true. 

Win % with Pogba - 87.5%. 2.75 points per game. 

Win % without Pogba - 57%. 1.85 points per game.
