KDB out for 4/6 weeks - along with Foden they have been outstanding in recent weeks.

PL is not a foregone conclusion yet as I feel we will struggle for creativity with KDB

One look at the table at now the half way stage would tell anyone that.

One look at the bookies odds would tell you otherwise

Paddy Power

Man City   2/5

At this pace 80 points will win the league which is really astounding.

Remind me what was the bookies odds on Leicester City was to win the Premier league before the 2015/16 season.

Yeah, on track to be the lowest winning total for a decade. 80 points wouldn't even have got you second for most of those years. Good to see, this sort of season is always much more interesting.
Doc would listen to any kind of nonsense and change it for you to a kind of wisdom.

The points tally of the previous 2 or 3 seasons was not sustainable. Over the history of the Premier League the average points for winning the league was 86. This year's winner should get between 82-85 points which is bang on that average.

5000/1 before the season began - so August time.

We are now coming towards the end of January - the current odds of 2/5 tell you more than looking at the table

This season didn't start until mid September. 19 games is normally towards the end of December. The end of January in the 2015/16 season Manchester City was favourites to win the title they ended up 4th ahead of their Manchester neighbours on goal difference.

The current table tells us the title race is and was before De Bruyne injury far from a foregone conclusion.

Well I bow down to your superior knowledge.

If you can get me 2/1 on City to win the league (or maybe even someone so knowledgeable as yourself would be confident of giving that price) then I will certainly have an interest in it.

Do come back to me

Ah feck, Frank Lampard is getting sacked today. All the fun is being sucked out of sport. I wish football management was like politics where failing managers had limp on to the end of a fixed four year term.

Anyway, thanks for the entertainment, Frank. 18 months of tremendous fun. And definitely a ready made replacement for Guardiola at Manchester City when the time comes.


Maroon Manc

Disappointed to hear he's getting sacked, they were going nowhere under him.

That's a very talented Chelsea squad that should have a lot more points.
