Mini-League - Top 8

[deipnosophist]

Another valid point that can be taken from this is that City have won all 5 of their home games against the teams in the top 8 but have lost the one game that they played away. They also have the kopites at home on Boxing day. Therefore they only have Chelsea at home 2nd half of the season. Everton, on the other hand have had a mix of home and away game and taken something out of all but one of those games. If we can keep this up then we stand as good a chance as any of making the Champions League at the very least.

...indeed mate. This is a very salient consideration. At Etihad, City are peerless. We probably gave them the toughest game and if we hadn't let down our guard just after scoring, think that might have been a different result (rawkish??). And that penalty was a joke considering a worse foul on Lukaku in their box had occurred (and ignored by that **** house ref)

so, Suarez is the best player in form right now, City best striker is out injured.

True, but City are unstoppable at home.

I think it will be a draw at least.

This needs doing again after 19 games so we can see both where we lie in the real table and how we are comparing to the "big boys"

Liverpool got beaten 2-0 by Arsenal, who then went to the Etihad and lost 6-3.

The RS have played just one of the 'latest Sky top 4' away, and they lost that.

Liverpool will lose both I have no doubt about that.
