9 HRS AGO - Manuel Pellegrini remained upbeat after Manchester City's loss at Anfield but even he must realise that such a promising season is all but over after tepid draw with SunderlandA lot of things can and will happen between now and the end of the season, Manuel Pellegrini promised, adapting one of Sir Alex Ferguson's favourite lines about twists and turns in a permanently unpredictable business.He was talking about Manchester City, of course. Before this result the rest of Sunderland's season looked all too predictable, and if Gus Poyet can twist and turn his way out of this situation it might be an idea to check whether the travelling circus camped on the Etihad car park is in need of a new Houdini act. What no one envisaged was City losing their confidence and invention to end the season with a whimper rather than a bang, yet on the evidence of this tepid performance that seems likely to come about.

9 HRS AGO - Manchester City suffered a blow in the title race after drawing with Sunderland, while Everton lost at home to Crystal Palace 9.50pm BST Breath caught, fingers no longer giving off steam. This may go down as the night when Manchester City finally threw the towel in and Everton choked in the race for the top four. For City, who were complacent and sluggish, a lucky draw at home to Sunderland, who have given themselves hope of staying up, doesn't do them much good. They now need Liverpool - and maybe Chelsea - to slip up. Sunderland, meanwhile, are six points behind 17th-placed Norwich and have a game in hand - yet it could have been so much more. As for Everton, a tense performance at home to Tony Pulis's impressive Crystal Palace, who are surely safe in 11th place now, means they are a point behind Arsenal.But there are sure to be more twists and turns to come. It's been that sort of season. Thanks for reading. Bye. 9.42pm BST Allow me to catch my breath for a moment. My fingers Collapse
