Tomorrow Arsenal face Manchester United.

We will know the result of Fulham v Manchester City.

Fulham have had a decent season, and we played them at their peak. But their players are clearly already on the beach, flying kites at the training ground. I can not see anything else other than a Man City win. And that will leave us needing to beаt Man United to ensure we take the title race to the last weekend of the season.

We have come in for a bit of mockery of planning a parade despite not yet being guaranteed the title.

Those mocking clearly do not know the time and effort it takes to close many roads in London for a title parade. We can not just rock up Monday afternoon with a bus.

Closing roads takes coordination with local councils, utility companies who may be working in the road and the police. For an example, Remembrance Day parades usually have their applications in for road closures in September, 2 months ahead of 11/11.

Arsenal and Manchester City will both have submitted their application to the council, and the respective councils would have coordinated with the relevant parties and raised a Traffic Management Order (TMO) to close the road. It is easier to cancel a TMO at late notice than raise one.

Madrid would have done the same, as would Dortmund and Man U. Any club in a major city competing for honours will be preparing to host a parade.

Clubs organising parades is not new. We would have done it ahead of time in 2004 and 2002 and 1998. The only difference now is social media and journalists with column inches to fill.

Of course, in this world where “banter” trumps the trutҺ, we will get mocked by the usual susρect (Pаddy Power, TalkSport) who are more interested in clicks than telling the actual story.

That is all from me.

And who knows, Fulham might give me a nice surprise on landing.
