This is City's record since beating Arsenal and Chelsea in December:
D 3-3 v Bolton (A)
L 0-3 v Spurs (A)
W 4-3 v Sunderland (H)
W 2-0 v Stoke (H)
W 3-0 v Wolves (A)
W 4-1 v Blackburn (H)
L 0-2 v Everton (A)
W 2-0 v Portsmouth (H)
L 1-2 v Hull (A)
W 2-0 v Bolton (H)
D 1-1 v Stoke (A)
D 0-0 v Liverpool (H)
In other words their only victories have come against relegation fodder or midtable sides, and all but one of those wins have been at home. These are their remaining fixtures:
Chelsea v Man City
Man City v Tottenham
Sunderland v Man City
Fulham v Man City
Man City v Wigan
Burnley v Man City
Man City v Birmingham
Man City v Man Utd
Arsenal v Man City
Man City v Aston Villa
West Ham v Man City
I don't think they'll get more than 18pts from those games. The reality is, for all the money spent on their team, they're just not that good at the moment. They will be soon, probably next season, but this season - if we keep Torres and Gerrard fit - we can definitely beat them to fourth.
