That is the only year in the last 10 years where the champions have not done well in the '6 pointers'.Originally Posted by McNamara That Ghost of Xmas Past
On Statto.com I just checked every year going back go 03/04 and did a top 4 group comparison. Every year the champions did well in those games - not necessarily finishing top of that mini-table but 08/09 is the only year a team did particularly poorly and still won the title. It shows it's not impossible but it also shows it's unlikely. Every time I've seen us win the title we've done well in these games. A defeat away at City would not be a disaster but I don't think we can afford to lose that one and the Chelsea game. 2 points would be OK. 4 would be good. 6 would be awlsome.
