MAN CITY WILL WIN THE LEAGUE NOW

I BELIEVE that Manchester City will now go on to win the Premier League after their convincing win over neighbours United in the week.

Many pundits reckon they will fall at Newcastle on Sunday, but I think they will win 3-1 to go a step closer to winning their first top-flight title since 1968.

The Blues are in fine form and Roberto Mancini is proving a top, top manager – as he showed by nearly taking a punch from Fergie on Monday night!

And then there is the little matter of history repeating itself. Funnily enough, on Saturday May 11 in 1968, City won 4-3 at Newcastle United to take the 1st Division Title - the last time they won it. Goals from Mike Summerbee, Neil Young (2) and Franny Lee secured the crown.

This time the match at St James’ is the penultimate game of their season - but the result is as crucial now as United continue to breathe down their necks. I think they will draw on the spirit of their ’68 triumph at St James’ and then win the title at home the following week against QPR.
