I'm not sure points off the top is the best metric this year, no one can live with what City are doing this year. The Invincibles would be 8 points off the top at this stage. But you cannot challenge for the title with a defence like ours or an away record like ours. Agree with a lot of what you say about the club. Thus far the last decade has been one of stagnation rather than decline, lose Ozil and Sanchez and things could start to go properly wrong.
It doesn’t really matter how high or low the bar is set, you can bet your bottom dollar we won’t be anywhere near challenging regardless.
City have made it impossible this year but there have been several seasons where it should have been possible, if we had a decent coach that is.

Whatever is required to challenge, you can be assured we’ll be a couple of levels below it.
Nothing is going to change under this Manager or owner.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
We used to set the standard. Anyone remember that? It was an awfully long time ago.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
We are now at our level, trying to keep pace with likes of Southampton and Watford.
Behave. We're a point above Spurs #powershift, only a point off Liverpool and 3 off Chelsea.Originally Posted by Ralpheroo72
Top 4 is going to be a scramble this year, I reckon it will be a Manchester top 2, after that it's 2 from 4. Very hard to call. For all our failings we're in the mix with the rest in that top 6.
Every single top six side has lost fewer games in 2017 than us
We’ve lost half our away games in 2017
The only reason we are relatively afloat is because united and Spurs aside we haven’t really played tough opposition at the Emirates this season. Yes putting us at Southampton and Watford’s level is ridiculous but if we take this year as a whole we are bottom of the pile of the top six teams
Wow!Really?
That is pretty pathetic. I'm not sure how relevant calendar year stats are though, weren't we calendar year champions one year recently?
Well we’ve lost half our away games this season as well if it makes you feel any better

Not really
