I think while the Man City Squad are superior in talent this season has shown that the lesser teams on any given day can upset the applecart
They have far more belief and depth thesedays than ever before
3 out of the bottom 4 until a few games ago were scoring at will or holding more esteemed opposition at bay
The biggest evidence that the EPL is a very different league to previous seasons is the leader with a 15-1-0 home record has 9 away draws
Wolves(sitting 2nd last) v Man U 2-1...their first loss of the season
Birmingham(relegation battlers) v Arsenal(perennial top 4)
2-1...Carling cup final
Chelsea 0 Sunderland 3...a 2nd string Chelsea defence(currently sitting 2nd) but even so a top team is about the Squad
Stokes demolition of Bolton who are a complete enigma is not a good reason to say they'll win the final but they'll be confident,
winning 5-0 has that effect even if its only against number 8 in the EPL
Bolton exact mirror home and away
32 9 5 2 2 5 9
City won by the way....
