Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 3610032, member: 1646"] Man City won their appeal. Doesn't seem like there is much surprise. I know they (as well as others) play some games with the numbers, but I don't know enough about whether they were really guilty of the violations they were originally banned for. Soccer's history doesn't give you confidence in upholding rules though. My son is a big Man U fan and I probably pull for them if only to keep him less grumpy. I really thought their only chance of Champions League was in the extra Man City fifth spot. Things have certainly changed, however, with Man U playing great, Chelsea tripping a bit, and Leicester nose diving. My final two spot predictions: Three: At this point I think Man U will take spot three, especially if they win today. They're playing great and I think the schedule sets up nicely for them. Four: I'm going with Chelsea. They look inconsistent, especially on defense, but they are in decent form. They have a gimme against relegated Norwich, a monumental game against Liverpool (although maybe Liverpool is coasting a bit now) and a tough but winnable game against Wolves. Leicester is floundering and still have a super hot Sheffield United, decent Spurs away, and then Man U. If they can go into the final game vs Man U (at home) within three points, that could be an epic game. Their goal differential vs Man U is close and they are in much better shape than Chelsea. But I wouldn't be surprised if Leicester loses their next two and Man U and Chelsea skip into spots three and four. [/QUOTE]
