using siteh logic from last year .........

the other way at looking at the fixtures is that all our home games except maybe Liverpool are now bankers so that is 27 and most likely 30 points virtually guaranteed, whereas you could easily see City drawing with Chelsea, Spurs and United at home. As West Brom showed yesterday, you could drop points against anyone away so you could just as easily drop points against Stoke away as Chelsea and no away game is a banker. This means City have far fewer bankers than United.

city were lucky to get a draw at L/pool, you also only got draws at Fulham & WBA, teams United beat.

Anything can happen between now & May, I've no doubt both Manchester teams will be fighting it out all the way tlll the last few games.

could go to the last game of the season, wouldn't that be fun.

In reality though, it won't be 30 points 'guranteed' for you because nothing in football is guranteed, I would have thought you will still drop one or two suprise points at home.

See when we dig in and grind out a result at Anfield we're 'lucky', in that case you were 'lucky' against Norwich, Chelsea and the Baggies.

Going to be a close title, makes it exciting, lot of confidence from you reds, after 19 though you would have thought you'd have clocked on that the title isn't given out on new years eve.

No it isn't but if United are in contention on New Years Eve, they generally go on to win it.

or christmas eve

Good job Mancini knows that then...

“I'm happy for our supporters that we are top at Christmas,” Mancini said. “They can have a good Christmas day but the important thing is to be there at the end of the season.

Certainly more enjoyable now we are competing at the top, I pinch myself because I remember relagation in 98 an how far we have come since then.

yes I agree to that, it makes for an exciting season and a lot of banter, should be fun !
