Looks like it.

I don't think City will make it though. They've actually let themselves down the last few games.

Not counting games against newly promoted teams we are 11 points better off than we were in the same games last year.

Blackburn(a) 2 points better
Portsmouth(a) 3 points better
Arsenal(h) 3 points
Aston Villa (a) 1 point better
Wigan(a) 1 point better
Fulham(h) 1 point better

Games against Utd and West Ham brought out the same result.

Yeah but that's hardly surprising. Everybody knows you're going to do a lot better than last year (it'd be fucking diabolical if you didn't considering the spending). You have to be damn good to get into the Champions League though.

All I'm saying is you looked imtimidating at first but the last couple of draws were both fairly poor results.

Long way to go of course and we've not been great ourselves.

Every team gets fairly poor results, a draw at Wigan is better than a loss at Burnley but your still second in the league.

Tommy Platinum · 10-31-2009, 06:42 PM

No we're not. Chelsea are.

Point taken though.

Actually Crocker was right Tom.

I guess it's understandable that people get used to saying we're top though.

I edited as you were writing your post.

So? It still said top when I was replying, that's my point.

lol @ all the red cards today. Good stuff.

Carragher had to go imo.

Manchester City had Shay Given to thank as his penalty save ensured they earned their fourth successive league draw against hard-working Birmingham.

Christian Benitez hit a post early on for the home side and Craig Bellamy saw a shot blocked for Manchester City.

Keeper Given came to the visitor's rescue early in the second half, saving James McFadden's penalty after Nigel de Jong had handled in the box.

Barry Ferguson's second yellow saw Birmingham reduced to 10 men late on.

So City's form is slipping 0-0 against Brum is pretty bad tbh.

As a Liverpool fan I shouldn't be talking about bad but this is City not Liverpool.
