Mind The Gap Watch

I had a quick scan of a couple of seasons the other day and when we won the league in 1937, United got relegated and were 25 points behind us!

Thanks.

It’s still a very rare occasion.

As others have said, what a time to be a Blue.

Oh yeah, of course.

In that case, it would have been:
City 22 wins 13 draw would be 79 points
United 10 wins 12 draws would be 42 points

So in today’s terms we would have been 37 points above them.

So, in '37, it would have been 37 points.

How appropriate. It was also the year my Dad was born.

Has the gap ever been greater?

One for @Gary James, I think.

We've been in different divisions so you could argue that it has been much bigger but in terms of 3 points for a win it's the biggest City over Utd. I know the maths has been done for 1937 - I suppose we should also do the maths for seasons where we've been behind Utd too!

Nah. Let them do their own calculator work.

I might give it a go - if it works in our favour I'll let everyone know!

Thanks for the reply, Gary.

It’s greater than ever to be a Blue.
