Now do one on nett spend over the last few years.

[brencarr]

Now do one on nett spend over the last few years.

I will - when the Premier League or FA start factoring it in to the table/cup. Until then it's immaterial
City won't be the first/last team to have tried/succeeded/failed to 'buy' success

[brencarr]

I thought I'd dust this old post off.

This is the state of play after 24 games. Still 42 points up for grabs .... miles to go before we sleep

Spurs are quietly doing their business

[brencarr]

Time for one more before the end of the season, and the 'games played' get too out of sync with the FA Cup quarter finals meaning teams have re-arranged fixtures.
This is the state-of-play after all teams have played 30 games with the exception of the one outstanding fixture - Chelsea v Brighton.

The big movers are Spurs who have fallen off a cliff since we gave them a big mention last time. It's certainly a 2-horse race for the title now (if it wasn't already).

There's going to be a scrap for 5th & 6th to sort out the European places.

The bottom two are long gone but there's a big fight on for that final relegation spot.

I think the answer to your question is in that avatar, brencarr! I seem to recall a certain club clawing back that exact same deficit with only six games left a few years back, so no, it's certainly not all over yet.

As Liverpool's game is postponed this week I thought I'd throw this in as it will be a while before they have all played the same amount of games again .... it's becoming a bit of a procession.

4th place is half way from last to 1st

[blahblah]

And a point a game avoids the bottom 3.

It puts Leicester under Buck into context.....

Everyone is doing it now ....
