--------------------------------- [26] Tonights round up --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, April 10, 2001 by ps: Ipswich 1 Liverpool 1 Spurs 2 Bradford 1 Houllier had another good moan about playing too many fixtures after one another [What comes around goes around I say], which must be why the tractor boys equalised late against them to move into 3rd place ahead of Leeds on goal difference. More importantly, if Arsenal lose to City tomorrow, we can win the league on Saturday (in other words, expect to win the league against City the week after).
