Does anyone know the last time that a team in the top four of the Premiership had a negative goal difference?
We have.

Or a top 4  team without a manager ?

The league table never lies.

I think maybe it does at the moment in terms of us and Everton certainly!

I agree the league never lies, but its whwre you are after 38 games gives the true picture.
Wherever we do finish, wouldnt it be wonderful if we were still above moneybags city?

If we do finish above Man Citeh, that will be a good season, they have to be finishing in the top 4 this season, they have too many good players not to.

You'd think so. But I suspect they'll take some time to 'gel' as a team and, before that happens, many toys will have been thrown from prams.

Man city have been given every chance to gel this season. They don't play an away game against any (after Spurs 1st game) of last season's top 10 teams in their first 20 matches.

I woudnt be surprised if they were near the top at xmas.

But you can only play 11 (or 14 maximum) every game.  And too many of them are egotistical.

Look at Real, buying quality players year after year, yet couldn't get into the last 8 of the Champions League.

On paper our first 6 games are pretty 'easy', so we've also had a good chance to get some points on the board.  Performance aside, we've dropped 1 or 3 points, depending on your perspective, but we also have Stoke, Bolton and then Wolves the next three games.  I think any new manager would be happy with that to get things off and running with!
