We NEED to beat Arsenal, can't see any other team coming close to them and they've become very consistent.

Looking at the league fixtures. Swansea, Sunderland, Stoke, Arsenal, and Leicester. If we can take 12 from 15 then I'd say that's an excellent haul. The good thing is that I'd expect United certainly to drop further behind in December. Arsenal are bit of an unpredictable side so wouldn't want to say one way or the other how they'll fair, but they do on paper have a relatively easy run.
im worried as i feel they ( United ) could get a couple of points lead on us, West Ham, Bournemouth and Norwich for them and i see them getting 9 points from that and we've got Stoke Swansea and Arsenal
Apparently we've won 14 and drawn 2 of the games played in December under Pellegrini, which is a pretty impressive record. Not sure if it has any great relevance though, as every season is different. We've got some pretty tough fixtures coming up.
Our main rivals have more difficult fixtures in Jan and Feb. So around 10 out of 15 points in Dec will be decent and any more a bonus. By then I'd hope that the injuries will have cleared up to a large extent. Of course, there won't now be any European or International travel for at least two and a half months.

We need to be hitting a minimum of 13 points in the next 6 games and that's just to keep us in with a shout for top 3. Any more than that and we're cooking on gas mk sexy.

after watching Leicester v united I would say they are fucking shite,defend then break,i fancy us to go there and show them what its all about. arseanal are shithouses without a fair few players,our injuries should of eased by then,max points in the league,through to the semi of the cc cup,and beat those german fuckers,happy days.
on a side note ive got a ticket for the Swansea match,now if you remember my record of attending matches and scores I suggest you get some money on Swansea.
3 matches since the take over.
arseanal at home 3-0
forest at home 3-0
wigan at Wembley 1-0
haha in fact I haven't seen city score live since the 2007/2008 season,:)

Going to extend through the Last 16 phase, so Spurs 13 Feb.
In an ideal world we'd draw at Arsenal and win the rest, including cups. Won't happen like that, but we really need to see the side's mettle now and go on a huge run, ideally we'd build up a nice lead to allow us to focus on the Last 16. "Elite club" and all that. Had enough hiccups already.

If we carry on playing like we have in the last few games we'll struggle to pick up even a point away from home, 3 very tough games on paper. Arsenal's injury list and Leicester's relatively small squad may be a key for us given we and they are playing a game every 3-4 days when we play them both.
