I'll be honest, i could have lived with a City victory yesterday, i would have loved us being able to go the Emirates to try and win the title on Arsenal's home patch, wiping out that awful memory of them lording it at Old trafford in the early noughties. But after City's debacle during yesterday's second half where they went to pieces for the last half an hour, i can see nothing other than three points and a twentieth title celebration tonight. Villa may need the points, but i'll be amazed if United don't do enough tonight.
City showed why they weren't good enough to retain the title at Tottenham, United may not be as good a team as some of us dared to hope, as we entered that champions league tie against Real Madrid. But we haven't delievered perormances as bad as that, when we have been off our game, there has been enough character to ensure we don't fall apart as City did yesterday.
For all the moaning at the state of our midfield, we still have a better balance between defence and attack then any other team in the division. Christ if we'd have had one winger on song for the season, the league would probably already have been sewn up and who knows a trip to Wembley and chance of a fourth double as well a twentieth title might have been on the cards.
I just hope we go out tonight and do justice to the occasion, a party off the pitch and an attacking party on the pitch please. The last thing i want to see tonight is for our team to go out and do just enough, which is bascially the fare we have had to get used to since christmas. Lets see our players cut loose.
Crystal castles - 3: The third album from the Canadian indie/electronica trio continues the excellence of the first pair of albums. Don't expect anything new, it follows the same path as its predecessors, but the sonds are as good, if not better.
Guano Padano - 2: Another slice of the very listenable blend of spaghetti western, psychedelia and everything else they throw into the kitchen sink from the Italian. A superb instrumental only group.
Herbie Hancock - Miaden Voyage: Classic mid 60's jazz, as befits it's era, it's bop as opposed to his later excursions into funk and experimental jazz. It's up there with the Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter classics of the era.
The Hives - Lex hives: You know what you're going to get from a Hives album, but they do it as well as anyone. If you want 30 to 40 minutes of short catchy guitar adrenaline tunes, you can't really go wrong.
Tori y moi - Anything in return: A decent album, the first time i've heard the experimental indie US act, this is more like a musical hip hop r & b sound. It's pretty good, radio friendly in the best sense of that phrase, it's still pretty interesting musically.
Villagers -Awayland: Conor J.O'Brien and his band deliver a superb second album, musically more adventurous than his debut, there are some great songs on this and it gets better with every listen.
Yo La tengo - Fade: US indie near its very best, i only discovered these a couple of years ago, they are an excellent band. They have been going since the 80's, so that's some catalogue i've got forward to discovering. Veering between loud guitar based rock and more accesible melodic fare, there albums are never predictable.
