    That's almost certainly provable by taking each team as their ranking league position at the time of the draw and finding an average. You could also work out home/away draws etc.

    It would be mind-numbing and pointless but the fact I've never seen it actually shown like such makes me wonder if it's true as there's surely thousands of Liverpool fans who've run the numbers. Astro would have had a gofundme and government petition running.

    So this running joke is some weird not actually true ironic in-joke thing?

    If we discount the dip in form for City this year, then in the last 5 years, just about any team apart from Liverpool or Arsenal is a **** team compared to City.

    He's not.

    He told you that in his own words this season, he hasn't got a clue how to fix things at city.


    Just buy new players.
    Thats his genius.

    I like a man that can get to an FA Cup semi final and not have a clue - who you got in the semis?

    I'm not sure whether I should tell him that over the past 10 years Man City probably have the lowest net spent per trophy of the "Big 6"
