Unfortunately there is a team that has scored more goals than City this season, and they play in red. I'm hoping City will put that right by Sunday.

Take away the fluke of 9 goals against 9 men and they are behind us in goals for.

If only football stats worked like that!!

They're ahead by 1 goal - not after the weekend.

My point was that no sensible fan should think the rags were a better attacking team than us because the stats say they have better goals for data. As always stats should be studied in context.

Win the next 6 and it is won, we will have beaten lei and rags, they are averaging 2.1 points per game 75 points should do it

If we win the next 5 PL games (Leicester is number 5), we'll be on 77pts. The best that utd could do, even if they win the other 4 in their run of 5, would be 86 (Leicester would be 85). And, of course, they've still to play each other, so they can't both get to those totals.

Maybe we should return to a goal average, but this time use net median goals?

It's 83 & 82, less the points drop when they play each other
