"Look at the season and Chelsea are on course for 105 points."

"Look at the number of points they have today and if they keep that up nobody will touch them, that's for sure. It doesn't look like anybody is capable of challenging them at the moment."

Wow. Throwing up the white flag in the second week of November. That's a record even by Big Bird's standards.

Are you guys already celebrating deep down?

I don't want the bs humble answer, be completely honest.

[Kick]

Not yet, it's too soon.

I am quite confident, though.

[Shed]

Completely honestly? I'm feeling that little bit more confident now than I was on Saturday morning now that the gap's gone from 6 to 8. Just as I felt that little bit more confident at the end of the weekend before last than I was at the beginning of it, when the gap went from 5 to 6. But as I alluded to in the "Chelsea will walk the league" thread in the general section or whatever it's called, it'll take another set or two of dropped points on City's part to make me personally feel really confident. If the gap got to, say, 12 points, then I'd honestly be feeling like we've one hand on the trophy, as I just could not ever see Mourinho losing 4 more matches than City from that day on.

I'm feeling confident about it, but im not celebrating anything untill the end of Jan at the earliest, City could still win this

[Kick]

I do find it amusing that everyone is talking about us going undefeated and winning the title already, yet Chelsea fans don't seemed to be.

Spurs

If you could choose one player from our rivals right now who would that be?

Arsenal: Sanchez, he would be an upgrade over Willian/Schurrle/Oscar
City: Yaya because I'm not sure how Aguero and Costa would co-exist
United: Di Maria, easy
Liverpool: Sturridge, my favourite player in the dark AVB days
Tottenham: Uh, I guess that Duffy kid that scored in their opening game looks promising. Not much to choose anyway

[Kick]

Sanchez, that is it. Di Maria is poor on the RW so we have no need for him.

[Shed]

With Sturridge days away from making his Liverpool return, the Times say he's suffered yet another injury in training today

[Shed]

Studge out till at least next year...

FT: Arsenal 1-2 United


Another bang-up job in a big game by Big Bird.

The table as things stand.

15 points ahead of Arse with +14 over them in GD

[Kick]

Such a difference compared to 12 months ago.

[Shed]

Yes


Weren't L'Arse top of the league at this point last year?

[Kick]

They were for a lot of last season, until Christmas at least.

FT: Crystal Palace 3-1 Liverpool

[Shed]

So another defeat and 3 goals shipped by Brendan ‘coaching defending is easy’ Rodgers' men.


Gap between Liverpool and the top of the table — 18 points
Gap between Liverpool and the relegation zone — 4 points

[Kick]

I was originally going to watch the game because I felt Liverpool would lose, decided to watch the F1 instead.

Oh well, one less team for us to worry about.

[Shed]

Another good game missed thanks to shitty F1


Let that be a lesson

[Kick]

FT: Aston Villa 1-1 Southampton


So Soton finally drop points. Now 6 points clear.

[Kick]

So close to a Villa win. It was a tight game though, so a draw was fair.

Anyway, 6 points clear is fantastic!

[fatman123]

Am I the only one not impressed with city's win? Take out the penalty and they've drawn 2-2 at home with an under strength 10 man Bayern
