I was wrong, Watford have no chance. City will finish bottom by a clear margin. It's now touch and go that they even beat Derby's 11 - a record which I thought would stand forever. Truly shocking. Injuries have really hit hard. It's not just being down to 3rd, 4th, 5th choice all over pitch but...

Same. No doubt it's between Norwich and Watford for 20th. Could be a real battle for the remaining spot though.

Records that will be beaten today: Premier League Highest scoring: 11 (Portsmouth 7-4 Reading 2007/08) Highest scoring first half: 7 – Blackburn 3-4 Leeds (1997/98 FT:3-4), Bradford 4-3 Derby (1999/00 FT:4-4), Reading 3-4 Man Utd (2012/13 FT:3-4) Biggest win: 9-0 (Man Utd v Ipswich, 1994/95)...

The only guarantees in life are death, taxes and Norwich losing to a League 2 side.

Hahahahahahaha, bullshit. People are encouraged by displays so far, sure, but no-one is talking about top 6. :lol: Only the most optimistic of City fans are even entertaining the idea of a top 10 finish. I'll give you that there are quite a few talking about 12th to 16th being realistic but most...

Their defence will keep City in a relegation dogfight this season. Just got to hope for more stability when Zimmerman or Klose return. Perhaps Tettey or Amadou anchoring the midfield might help. Just far too easy to create against at the moment. A result of the way they play as well, sure, but...

Can't we lock all the Hughton-apologists in a room and force them to watch every second of his Premier League sides? See how they feel then. Oh, and charge them £50 per match for the privilege.

Make that seven! Thank fuck for Leeds. The Championship may be heading to Sheffield but it'd take an insane twist of events for City to drop out of automatics now. Just 1 point needed for the division's newly self-appointed draw specialists. Would've been aesthetically pleasing for the league...

The only way City get promotion is if Leeds or Sheffield United fall apart completely or are deducted points. They’re not winning it themselves.

16/03 – Sheff Utd W / Leeds L 30/03 – Sheff Utd L / Leeds W 06/04 – Sheff Utd W / Leeds L 09-10/04 – Sheff Utd D / Leeds W 13/04 – Sheff Utd D / Leeds W 19/04 – Sheff Utd W / Leeds L Six straight rounds in which only one of Blades/Leeds have managed to win. Insane. Tonight would be a great...

Can’t believe people thought City were going to get promoted.

Irrational perhaps but when things have been going so well it's not uncommon - especially in sport - for people to expect everything to come crashing down at some point. To be honest, I really didn't expect you and Leeds to drop so many points between you. Pretty consistently too over the last...

If the Championship has taught us anything, while mathematically possible there is always a chance of everything. Both you and Leeds could easily win your last five games (you more than Leeds what with Villa in quite some form). And Norwich could easily go on a run like after Christmas. They've...

Bit premature ruling City out of finishing third. Gap between 1st and 3rd could be 5 points with 15 to play for after tonight, hardly an insurmountable lead. And before anyone says it, sure they *should* beat Reading but then Leeds *should* have beaten QPR/Brum sides on 7/5 game losing streaks...

I wouldn't include City in that. A fair chance, sure but I wouldn't be surprised to see them fall away. Injuries are a killer. Every time one or two come back, another two get injured. Defence looks super weak without the Tettey-Leitner midfield partnership protecting it and now both are...

Can't see City surviving this one. Performances have been a bit ropey without Leitner. Tettey in particular looks a lesser player without him beside and with that midfield protection gone, a full strength defence would have it's work cut out to keep Derby at bay let alone the make-shift/half-fit...

Too easy. Edit - oops :ohm: Norwich & Leeds battling it out takes me back to 2009-10, good times (as far as being in the third division can be) but if I were you this match wouldn't be on my radar. West Brom should be the ones you keep an eye on - though even then, I think you're pretty much...

Was such a relief to have Leitner back last weekend until Blackburn decided best way to combat the midfield was to kick lumps out of them, injuring both Buendia and Leitner. The latter being City's best performer thus far this season, crucial to making the midfield tick. Just about got away with...

Shows how much Leitner and Klose are missed. Also how important an on-form Tettey is. He had a terrible game and that bled into the team performance, or lack-of. Imagine he needs a rest, played a lot of minutes this season and his head clearly wasn't there. Perhaps fortunate that Farke had the...
