ROBERTO MANCINI believes Manchester City can finish in the top two after insisting there is more to come from his players in the last seven league games of the season.

THE timing of the DJ at Eastlands was as impeccable as Adam Johnson’s finish, which provided the platform for Manchester City to coast to their biggest win of the season.

NOT long ago it would have seemed inconceivable that Carlo Ancelotti was contemplating going into Chelsea’s biggest game of the season without Fernando Torres.

IT’s the great unsaid at Arsenal, the last taboo.

CHELSEA boss Carlo Ancelotti yesterday cranked up the pressure on Manchester United and Arsenal by insisting neither of them could afford to make another mistake this season.

ALEX FERGUSON believes Manchester United’s treble quest could hinge on the outcome of today’s visit to West Ham.

ALEX FERGUSON yesterday questioned the value of the Premier League’s new crackdown on behaviour, claiming there is no lack of respect towards referees from managers.

ARSENAL cult hero John Jensen returns to his former club today looking to upset the very fans who took him to their hearts two decades ago.

LIVERPOOL’S managing director insists the club does not need European football to break even financially — while their shirt sponsors say the Champions League is not important because most of their target audience in Asia is asleep when the matches are played.

WAYNE ROONEY says it would be “brilliant” if Manchester United were to win a record 19th title.

THERE was a time, maybe 15 or more years ago, when if you’d imagined Keith Gillespie playing in red and black stripes, the club you’d have had in mind would have been AC Milan.

PREMIER LEAGUE clubs last night announced they will bring in a crackdown on “unacceptable” behaviour by players and managers towards referees from the start of next season.

ROY HODGSON believes West Brom have the “discipline, organisation and guts” needed alongside their other qualities to survive in the Premier League.

TOTTENHAM hope to have Rafael Van der Vaart back for Wednesday’s AC Milan clash — as boss Harry Redknapp sensationally tipped bitter rivals Arsenal as the new Premier League title favourites.

ONE thing became apparent at Anfield yesterday.

THE KOP has always been good at coming up with amusing little ditties.

ALEX FERGUSON refused to speak to the media as Manchester United’s title challenge suffered a major setback.

CHELSEA boss Carlo Ancelotti insists Fernando Torres was “born to score” and is on the brink of starting to repay his £50 million (€58m) transfer fee.

BY 5pm yesterday, journalists were queuing up on Twitter to condemn Alex Ferguson for enforcing a media blackout after Manchester United’s crushing defeat to Liverpool.
