    I have the same feeling as I did last week, where I was on 90 points going into the last game with Bale (c), Vertonghen, Mata and Hazard to play. Hitting over 100 seemed nailed on, yet it ended up being an absolute flop and those four generated a massive 6 points between them.

    This time around I've gone from a great Saturday which pushed me to 9k, to a sh*t Sunday which pushed me back to 11k. Now in a position where I have Hart, Tevez, Sagna and Walcott (c), and should really be odds on to end up back in the top 10k tonight. Though it could easily end up with Arsenal drawing 1-1 and Sagna and Walcott getting two points apiece, and Hart and Tevez both being rested. Nervy times.

    I'm hoping Wacott gets into double figures tonight, a clean sheet for Arsenal and Tevez to score vs Reading.

    Exactly this, except 15 saves from Robles would be nice as well.

    My main worry at the moment is whether or not Hart starts.

    Me too, Norwich reserve on the bench who obviously didn't play so Hart not playing would be a disaster.

    You'll be happy to know that I need 11 points now to beat my all-time best score! :P If either Tevez or Aguero don't play it'll be a good start.

    After Mancini sacking it's completely up in the air. On one hand, Kidd should start his strongest possible team for the remaining two games.

    On the other hand, he might give Pantimilion the game that was disgracefully taken from him in the FA Cup final...

    I'd say 60/40 in favour of Pantimilion starting.

    I missed something here, why was Pantimilion supposed to start it and why didn't he?

    Mancini came out and stated that Pantimilion would be starting the FA Cup final because he was the keeper for the competition. And then dropped him.

    there were strong rumours he was dropped because he said he wanted to leave the club in search of first team football.

    what that means for tonight, who knows?

    i'm hoping Hart starts.

    I imagine Hart will start, I think Kidd will be under instructions to field their strongest squad for both games.

    I'm hoping this is the case. City could still finish third, as unlikely as that is, so there's no reason why whoever is in charge shouldn't play the best team. And if it's a caretaker manager he will want to get two wins under his belt.

    I would be 80/20 in favour of Hart playing, although I have unerringly managed to fall on the wrong side of these splits all year so that 20% is massive.

    Hart will start, I cant see any point in playing the other guy now. He's on his way in the summer.

    I expect Hart to start. City will be keen to bounce back after their FA Cup final embarrassment.

    I think their strongest XI will play.

    I must be the only person who wants Walcott to do nothing tonight, the leader in my big money league has him captain while I had RVP, only 5 pts behind before tonight!

    Hart, Clichy and Tevez. A Man City clean sheet would probably be the difference maker in me winning 2 money leagues.

    I'd be fairly certain Hart will play tonight . The other keeper hasn't plsyed in the PL ever before don't see why that'll change tonight .

    My main competitor is 9 points behind and we both have Walcott as captain tonight. He has Szczesny in goal and Dzeko up front while I have Cazorla and Tevez. Bad feeling that he could be ahead of me this time tomorrow!

    Have Walcott(c), Mert and Tevez tonight. Only have 26 points so far so need big games from all 3. I'd take 25 from them three now!

    Bit mental tonight that a loss to Wigan is a better result for Arsenal than a draw
