Just looking at this season again...
gonna role play a bit and take out how well we've been up to now etc. and try judge our remaining fixtures against City's on opposition form at the moment.
Yes this could and may well be a completely pointless excercise, but im bored so here goes
(not including our home fixtures)
+ im glad we have gotten southampton away done, City still have to go there and they seem to have found their groove
- they played Arsenal away at the right time, we still gotta do that - could be tricky. Not sure if a resurgence is going on there as haven't payed much attention to them but Arteta is doing ok AFAIK?
- Everton away is potential banana skin and they have a lot to prove after our kids beat them. could be tricky. Ancelotti would have had a bit more time by then to lift them
+ they have leicester away left....Brendan would like to have a go im sure
+ they have Chelsea away left and its been highlighted how off their form is at stamford bridge so may have a point to prove. City also lost there last season
+ sheffield united away could cause them problems. decent team
- west ham away now they have a bit of a new manager lift could be tough (even though its Moyes) . they like raising their game for us too
-newcastle away, until the last couple seasons i dont think this was our favourite fixture but nevertheless could be tricky
+They have to go to Spurs and im sure that wont be easy for them with the mini-history they have and Mourinho too
Norwich are bottom, we both have Watford and Brighton away, Palace at home. Shouldn't expect them to have any issues with their home games tho if they feel like throwing in a few L's that would be fine by me
Have not looked into when we are playing these teams and potential relegation scraps/top 4 scraps that would influence things further
That was fun.
