It's still riles me that we could lose the title because of the injury time disaster at Old Trafford. It was 3-1 after 90 minutes. Then there was a six goal swing in standings.... UUUUGHH

BBC MOTD's Jonathan Pearce at Sports Direct Arena:
Newcastle v Manchester City (1330 BST)
"Newcastle could ruin everything for Manchester City today and turn the title race on its head. Having been ripped apart by Wigan, Alan Pardew's side bounced back magnificently at Chelsea. They are undefeated in nine league home matches and have kept a clean sheet in the last four. City are unbeaten in ten league games against Newcastle, but with Pappis Cisse in this form City have it all to do. On 11 May, 1968 City clinched the title at St James' Park. Will the 44-year wait to lift the trophy again finally end in front of the Gallowgate End? Or will the run-in take another tortuous twist?
Not liking clinching the title at SJP part
I am listen to Five Live. I don't think they have commentary of the early game
Five Live just went to SJP... I fear they're going to click off
Teams on the pitch
COME ON YOU TOON!!
There are five Argentines on each team today... not sure if they're all playing
FIve Live don't have the commentary... I can keep on for updates
WE'RE OFF
I can't believe United have blown it so much from being 8 points up
Be nervous Citeh... be very nervous
muffled sound from SJP... I hate it!
Glad to hear my Fivel Live link is behind the match on TV
I am not confident of my lot doing what they have to do later on!!
Newcastle have started well with possession. Haven't done anything but..
Come on Toon.. do the same to this Manc team you did to the other
Morning, Dave! Thanks for the post - I'm arriving at my easy chair with a few minutes gone.
THe other games ... all starting at 9
Villa Spurs
Bolton WBA
Fulham Sunderland
QPR Stoke
Wolves Everton
Morning Sleepy Head
Bugger.. Five Live is going to click off for commentary of QPR and Stoke
Not much happening so far at SJP... long may that continue
431. That is the amount of minutes Newcastle have gone without conceding a home goal. Wait..... make that 432.
Sorry, late night out with some friends seeing The Avengers.
Stoke are playing with two midfielders and FIVE strikers
Tom saw that last night at the Drive-In we went to a few years back
SJP has become a fortress.
COME ON BEN ARFA
COM ON BA
COME ON PAPIS
I said I would buy Matt a Demba Ba shirt if they win today
I remember that - good time out.
Citeh's first corner fails to beat the first man
Oh - Silva made a great run into the box and made Krul work with the shot.
first shot of the day comes from Silva... well saved
Krul better play a blinder like he did at OT
Too much Citeh attacking for your taste, I'm sure.
Newcastle don't seem to be playing their attacking game so far...
COME ON
Very much so
I was hoping Newcastle would be going at them!
Maybe it would have been better if Newcastle didn't have anything to play for and go for it
Yeah - I don't know why Pardew has sent them out to just sit back.
Oh - Ba had a glimmer of a chance to turn but his control let him down.
Krul saves Aguero's shot
COME TOON
Great handling from Krul as Aguero shot from close range.
Newcastle are doing NOWT
This game is not going the way I hoped
What the hell is Krul doing!!
COME ON NEWCASTLE.. SETTLE DOWN
A moment of madness from Krul there but Williamson bailed him out. I like the look of Williamson, although he's very green.
The Toon are playing a dangerous game here - they can only absorb so much pressure.
Newcastle look clueless attacking right now
Best top flight season ever for Citeh - interesting. And they could still lose the title race. And Mancini could be sacked because of it.
I hope they know what they're doing.
I just show Matt and his friend the David Pleat celebration after beating Citeh... good omen
The Magpies just not clicking at all. Ben Arfa gets a yellow.
Ben Arfa with a yellow... it was a stupid foul but not a card!
Cisse looking out of it when pushing people.. concentrate on scoring mate!
Free kick saved
Of course, I'll take a nil niller
That's risky, mate. Pleat's celebration was no doubt a night out in a Turkish bathhouse with the ballboys....but I know what you mean.
Why are Newcastle playing like this?
They ripped us apart!
Oh - it'll only take one moment of genius and Ba nearly found it. A great shot on the turn there from distance.
SHould have done better there... just a weak effort
Cynical foul there by Barry to bail out Hart after a poor clearance. Yellow.
Barry in the book too... he's hopeless
The 9am kickoffs are starting up now.
Useless free kick.... didn't that bloke score a blinder of a free kick against us!
Nice turn from Ba.. blocked... a bit better here
Newcastle digging in a bit now, a bit much as Tiote gets booked for his typical challenge on Silva.
I don't know what the refs think yellows are these days.
That was a decent challenge that was late... foul okay but no card
The free kick isn't really a shot or a pass. Just drifts aimlessly out. I'm sure you'll take those all day long.
BLOODY HELL... THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN TWICE!!!!
Oh - first real chances there from Newcastle, first from Ba that was blocked out to Ben Arfa who volleyed into Hart.
Cisse seems to have the wrong boots on... COME ON
That's sparked Newcastle to life now.
I agree with you - now Perch goes into the book. Webby is card happy today.
Third yellow card.. it's not a dirty game
No goals in the 2 o'clockers
Webb is going to send someone off today so he can be in the news
Yaya in the book now
FIVE already
Now it's Yaya into the book - the Toon crowd baying for blood.
The match is opening up as we near half-time.
Lucky clearance hits Aguero...Newcastle get the ball... come on!
I can't find any video to follow the other matches
Oh - off the line from Barry! A mad scramble in the box there.
STRUTH...OFF THE LINE
BLOODY BARRY ALMOST SCORES
Still 0-0 in the other matches - I'm thoroughly absorbed by this one.
Yes. I have found a link for Soccer Sunday
Mypremiumtv Sky Sports News
Fulham take the lead against Sunderland
Our man Clint with the goal
Great season for him - well done, Clint!
Dempsey's 23rd goal of the season
Keep it tight United.. unlike my United from Monday
coming up to half time.. don't give away a corner
Krul messes up a clearance... knock it off
Half time... let's just skip the second half and leave it like this!
That's half-time. 0-0. You'll be happy with that. I'm off to toast up a bagel.
QPR aren't doing much today... they need to win
All nil nillers except the Dempsey goal.. that game has nothing to do with top and bottom
Penalty at the Reebok... to Bolton
Petrov steps up against Foster.... fans behind Merse all praying.... ONE NIL!!!
QPR are now in the bottom three
Fans at Villa Park standing to applaud throughout the 19th minute in acknowledgement of Stilian Petrov in his battle with illness.
Great free kick from Dempsey
Glad to see FSC showing all the action... well the two goals from the other matches
Nice name given to today by Jeff Stelling
Significant Sunday
Teams out for the second half... YOU NEED TO WIN NEWCASTLE
Sunderland tie it up with their first real attempt to attack
Ex Red Bardsley
Goal somewhere... FULHAM retake the lead!
Goal at Villa Park.... TO VILLA!!
They have been battered by Spurs but score from a massive deflection!
Everything are going all peachy for the Arse
Not happy with Newcastle again!
They should get a push from the score at Villa
I'm back for the second half now with my brekkies. I see that Bolton have taken the lead and Fulham have regained the lead after an equalizer from Sunderland.
And this is huge - Villa have taken the lead!
I have Premium TV on and it is driving me nuts!
Audio commercials keep popping up and then it jumps to another website!
I quite like the way things are now, with United with a chance to regain the top, Arsenal in third and Newcastle in fourth. Chelski to lose the CL final to Bayern and everything's hunky dory.
Don't forget.. .QPR in the bottom three
QPR are in real trouble now!
Celtic lost at Dundee Utd 1-0
Yaya's free kick is hopeless.. more of the same please
COME ON TOON
They showed the statue of Sir Bobby Robson at Newcastle... why is he so big there?
He did more for Ipswich and England
Naff shot by Tev
Mancini's not happy but he's the one to blame.
Start getting nervous Citeh... times a tickin
Sir Bobby's a native Geordie lad, isn't he?
So what
half time at Loftus Road
Barton isn't happy with the officials
Well, he was a local boy who managed the side - you can understand why he's a legend in Toon Town right?
just dribble it Ben Arfa!!!
Citeh seeme to have run out of ideas just at the minute - they've been thoroughly frustrated. I'd have Dzeko and Adam Johnson on in a moment or two.
30 to go
Not liking the Tevez beard work; it's making him look even more troll like.
De Jong on for Nasri
Strange move
Wow - Clogger DeJong on for Nasri - not exactly the most attacking change you could imagine. Yaya might push up a bit but still.
I agree with the color guy - not sure who he is - true champions would be able to dig out a win here.
Both teams need to win this match... a draw is not good enough for both teams... I'll take it though
Useless by Ben Arfa
Oh - Ben Arfa works his way in but shoots with his weaker foot. Why oh why do players play on the wrong side? I don't get this trend. If you're a left-footer, you bloody well play on the left.
Demba Ba with a nice turn... weak shot
The Toon don't look dangerous
About time, Roberto - Dzeko is about to come on.
Tevez looks like he can't be bothered again - I'd have him off.
Roberto agrees with me - Carlito is off.
Shut it Dahlgren... let him keep not bothering!
Mancini listens
BUGGER BUGGER BUGGER
YAYA
GOAL! Yaya with one from out of nowhere!
0-1 Citeh!
Nice build up there through Dzeko and Silva before Yaya placed it perfectly past Krul into the right corner.
Come on, the Toon! Let's get it back!
They haven't been very impressive today
Everything is going rosy for the Arse
useless attempt by Jerko
Oh - Aguero could have wrapped it up there but he steered his shot wide. How did he miss?
WHAT A MISS BY AGUERO!
Corner to Newcastle... COME ON
How old is that bloke... 12?
Cisse heads one wide
COME ON
Come on... better delivery please!!!
More cards from Webby.
Foul by Tiote no card.. good.. he already has a yellow
Rose has been sent of for Spurs
Yaya heads just wide... make these misses count
Oh - Yaya nearly got onto the end of that Silva free kick. Almost a brace.
Tiote is protected by being taken off - Ryan Taylor on as his replacement.
Under ten to go
Danny should never have left Leeds - things just haven't gone right for him ever since.
ANOTHER CHANCE SPURNED.... KEEP IT UP!!!
What a shambles there! Yaya should have scored but slipped at the wrong moment. Aguero following up has a shot deflected over the top by Krul.
Nice line... a ghost in Red tripped him from behind
What are Newcastle playing at? They should be attacking!
Newcastle have been crap today... very disappointing
Micah Richards to come on for David Silva.
What good deed did your brother do to have it go all his way today!!!
almost
COME ON
Gooner must have feared the worst after that shambles against Norwich yesterday morning.
NEWCASTLE ARE CRAP!!!
A bit of magic now from Cisse now, please.
THAT WAS GOING IN... BLOCKED BY RICHARDS
Corner now...well cleared.
Yaya with Citeh's second!!!!!
BUGGER BUGGER BUGGER
YAYA
Citeh are now up by TEN goals
Let's just win by ten
great save by Hart!
BUGGER
Oh - Hart saves again from Ba. He's been huge today.
Sorry, mate. But you have to say that QPR have everything to play for on the final day. It won't be easy.
QPR WILL NEED TO GET SOMETHING NEXT WEEK.. DAVID PLEAT ALL OVER AGAIN!
HUGHES STICKS IT TO THE BLOKES THAT SACKED HIM
Penalty to Spurs!
Poor again from Cisse - a really strange performance from him today.
They score
Game over
"Ribbons will surely be blue" Not yet!!
That's it - the Toon are out of the CL spots and they can only blame themselves. They were really off the plot today - didn't offer much against Citeh.
I think Warren's giving too much credit to Mancini.
United win 6-0 and 6-0
Citeh win 1-0
UNITED WIN!
Taking a bit of a politics break before the late match.
the bloke has turned it from Significant Sunday to BBC 1

WBA get a goal back at Bolton
Still 2-1
Yaya won the Cup for Citeh last year
This year?
As I said before... QPR to win... and Hughsie does a Pleaty
I'd like to see that.
Liking this Final Score on the Beeb
BBC Sport's Alistair Magowan reports from Old Trafford:
"Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says in his programme notes that the 'grievous' defeat by Manchester City will 'stiffen his team's resolve to fight every inch of the way'. The Scot has also reminded readers of his usually adventurous approach despite his team selection in that game. Swans boss Brendan Rodgers says this is a 'dangerous' game for United, too, because his side will play with freedom."
GOALS... LOTS OF THEM... COME ON UNITED!!!
psst... I know... I'm dreaming with everything.... Wigan and Everton blew it for us
Very disappointing display by Newcastle... why do they do that to their fans
Dave in Oxford texts: "Current bottom three all changed managers during the season, while Bolton and Wigan stuck with theirs. It shows it pays off to have some faith and stability!"
OH NO.. QPR HAVE SCORED!!
Cisse with the goal
WHAT A BLOW FOR BOLTON AND UNITED
WBA have tied it up at BOLTON!!
This is going all wrong!!!
The team news out of Old Trafford:

QPR will still have all to play for on the final day. You don't want them down in the dumps after today's match.
Sorry, didn't see it.
