  1. Indeed, it's been a season to remember for Sunderland fans - but what about Manchester City? Victory against West Ham on Sunday will guarantee their second league title in three years, while a point is almost certainly going to be enough.

    That's a nice thought for City fans as their head hits the pillow tonight. Speaking of which...I'm off too! Thanks for your contributions tonight and be sure to join us on Sunday for the final Premier League commentary of the season. See you all then.

  2. MOTD's Alan Shearer

    "If someone had predicted the way Sunderland have finished the season they would have been called crazy. It looked like being a horrendous season and now they could finish 12th, reached a cup final and have done the double over their rivals. What was all the panic about?!"

  3. MOTD's Kevin Kilbane

    "What Gus Poyet has done - to galvanise the team and get them together - is incredible."

  5. MOTD's Kevin Kilbane

    "The script was there beforehand for a point for both to secure safety but Sunderland didn't follow that. West Brom played without any real intensity. Sunderland went to win the game and that came from Gus Poyet."

  8. MOTD's Alan Shearer

    "Yaya Toure is relentless and a machine. He did not have one of his better games but what he did, he did very well.

    "His fourth goal is like watching a 15-year-old against under-12s. You just can't catch him. He is only the second midfielder to score 20 goals or more after Frank Lampard in the Premier League."

  9. MOTD's Kevin Kilbane

    "Pablo Zabaleta is the benchmark for full-backs - he shows how it should be done and has been doing it consistently for the last few seasons."

  10. MOTD's Alan Shearer

    "I could understand the nerves. What was key was nine of the 11 won the title two years ago. They did not panic. They knew what they were doing.

    "The crowd were getting edgy but the players didn't. With the full-backs either side it was just a matter of time. Pablo Zabaleta is an absolute machine and he picks passes out."

  11. MOTD's Kevin Kilbane

    "When you play against teams like Aston Villa, you tend to move the ball slowly but Manchester City stuck with what they knew and got down the sides and created lots of chances."

  12. Manager reaction

    Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: "The way we play, I am very happy to win the title that way. There are different ways to win the title, I choose this one - this one is attractive football and our fans enjoy the season. You can win titles in another way but for me the aesthetic part of the game is very important."

    Abu Ali: As an Arsenal fan, it has to be beating Spurs 1-0, seeing them sell Bale, then signing Ozil the next day!

  14. Manager reaction

    Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: "Of course I expect to win the title now because we are top of the table. Winning the next game means we can win the title.

    "It's been a strange season because we were never at the top of the table, everybody was talking about us being the favourites but we were nine points behind Liverpool and eight behind Chelsea - we had three games in hand but we had to win all of those games."

    Some other news to bring you tonight is that Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has undergone successful surgery on the dislocated shoulder he suffered in the Champions League semi-final first leg against Atletico Madrid.

    The 31-year-old will be out of action for 8-10 weeks, meaning he could miss the start of pre-season training with Chelsea.
