    Chelsea - 52 points
    Manchester United - 50 points
    Arsenal - 47 points
    Manchester City - 44 points

    Top 3 are European spots.

    Tottenham - 14 points
    Leicester - 13 points
    Reading - 11 points

    Two league games left but the fixtures this weekend mean this is probably the decisive weekend of the season.
    Tottenham v Reading
    Chelsea v Arsenal
    Manchester United v Manchester City

    Spurs play at White Hart Lane immediately following the men's game so might see an increased crowd there. It'll be needed. Spurs goal difference is enough that they might well stay up even with a defeat but the home advantage hopefully means Spurs take at least a point.

    Realistically Arsenal have too much to do to win the league but can potentially scupper the favourites from winning the league again.

    Well that's Reading basically down. No chance of beating Chelsea on last game with them fighting for the title (if it even gets that far).

    Reading had a few years of being the 4th/5th best Womens team in the country, but now the Premier League clubs are putting the money into the Womens game there's no competition, and relegation was going to inevitably happen soon. And with the Men's team relegated to League One, we would have to cut budgets to Women's team and be even weaker next season.

    Double relegation season..

    Good news for Saints in the womens championship then if you won't be much of a force next year. We had a good debut season after promotion finishing 6th conceding only 15 in 22 games, second best defence in the league.

    Man U score in the last minute to take the title race to the last day.

    In Scotland Glasgow won the title in injury time at Rangers to dent Celtic the Championship!

    It's already over though really, Reading won't be able to do anything against Chelsea who will probably win by 7 or more goals.

    I watched the United v city game, a last gasp win for United and their first ever win over city, but as @saint_clark says above it's pretty nailed on that Chelsea have another title. Nevertheless this relatively new United team are growing each season, depends if they can keep their best players and add to the squad over the summer.

    Double relegation for Reading both the mens and ladies teams :no:
    Part of me hopes that the management will learn something from this - the logical part of me knows there is no chance of lessons being learnt

    Fans have branded comments made by a Man United executive as 'sexist' and 'embarrassing' after he told a star player he wouldn't hand a trophy to her because it was 'really heavy.'

    The cringe-worthy exchange between United Women's star Alessia Russo and club charity exec, John Shiels, has been circulating on social media after Russo was handed the player of the year gong at the club's end-of-season award ceremony on Monday night.

    Taking to Twitter, Shiels apologised to the England international and her teammates, saying he was 'mortified' by the offence caused and 'upset' that his comments were misconstrued.
