Pigs could have flown over
City into 4th with the expected V, but remain one point behind in 5th. Crucial because Saudi Sovereign Wealth with 53 points leads Manchester Unitard 2-1 in one of their tyoo games in hand. If SSW hold on Tyneside they will be 4th on 56 points (with a game in hand still), pushing
City to 5th (final UCL qualifying position) and Chelsea into Europa. Chelsea's draw removes one crucial threat to
City Champs League qualification.
