A bit of a useful gap opening up between us and 5th/6th after ManU home draw with Newcastle :
Spurs with 23 points from 10 matches (GD +12)
- 4 points clear of Chelsea in 4th position who have a game in hand (GD +5)
- 7 points clear of ManU in 5th position who have a game in hand (GD - 2)
- 8 points clear of Newcastle in 6th position (GD+8)

Next two games can change the picture one way or the other thought the goons might draw today with them winning would prefer a city win v pool .
Also whether Newcastle are as much of a threat for top 4 as Man United. I’d still lean towards man United this season.
Liverpool are the threat
That’s why I don’t think we are title contenders. Struggle against the top 6 & also away to other London teams. All Those Derby’s are a disadvantage for London teams. City just have united & Liverpool really. Palace, Brentford, West Ham, chelsea, Woolwich etc. it’s a bit of a surprise if we win there. Usually tough games.
So yeah we need to start going away to London teams & other top 6 teams & winning.
Yeah I can see them going 2 ways. Rallying & being 3rd or keep falling apart & ending up mid table.
They are capable of winning 18 out of 20 in the second half and I think they will spend
Yes They will need to back klopp in January now it’s clear for all that their squad is falling apart especially in midfield.
Not much difference really over this weekend. Woolwich and Chelsea both won these fixtures last season. Newcastle now +2 up on the same fixtures as last season. They're becoming hard to beat, lost just 1 game all season and that was to a dodgy 97th minute goal away at Anfield.
City had a chance to right a wrong against an out of form Liverpool team but losing it means they go a further -2 down on last seasons fixtures. Good result for Liverpool. Not many opportunities for them to right wrongs due to how poor they've started the season but they'd have liked that one.
Huge opportunities in the week for this all to change. We lost at Old Trafford last year, so anything would be a bonus. Woolwich and City both not playing in the week too so getting a win at Old Trafford would be huge for us. It'd put us +10 on Man City so far this season and level with Woolwich on last seasons fixtures.
1. Woolwich - +11
2. Tottenham - +8
3. Man Utd - +3
4. Newcastle- +2

Promoted teams omitted from overall table however.

It's a disaster for us though. There is far more chance of those fucking scousers finishing above us than there is of us finishing above City.So Citeh aren’t invincible…

Why?
Do we just forget about how shite Liverpool have looked all season because they managed to raise their game for a home game against the best team in the country?
This is Liverpools FIRST win in the league since the 31st August. Fuck them. We'll destroy them at The Lane.

Look up; not down, my man.
Sorry, i'm a realist - I'd happily take top 3 right now, City are a million miles away from the rest, and I'm far more fearful of Liverpool catching us than City screwing up so badly that we finish above them - they've got far too much, it's just not gonna happen.Look up; not down, my man.
I’m going to whisper it quietly. Can we win the league?
