Cheers mate, so not all that different on a like for like basis, particularly given the 6-1. Big chance for us to do better against Sunderland than City did, although I doubt they'll be quite so inept at home against Blackburn!

 

City's slip-up at Everton gives Utd the lead in the like-for-like league with a chance to extend the lead at Chelsea on the weekend.

 

Now that table is interesting. Good job putting it all together, got to have taken a while. Where are the people who so readily wrote off our chances at the weekend?

 

Bump

 

Still a 3pt gap with both teams matching the others' wins over Liverpool (h) and Aston Villa (a).

I expect City to take advantage of Utd's loss to Blackburn (h) in their next matching game and close that gap.
