I'm really starting to think that West Ham's first competitive game in the new stadium will be a champs league qualifier.......
Earlier this year everyone thought City were just bad away from home, which is true, but they are really just bad full stop. City's home wins are Chelsea, Watford, Newcastle, Bournemouth, Norwich, Southampton, Swansea, Sunderland, Palace, Villa. Even the better teams they beat were in very poor form when they beat them.
Remaining home games being Utd, West Brom, Stoke, Arsenal... of those I think all could honestly win against them, certainly can't see City winning all 4. Away from home Bournemouth, Chelsea, Southampton, all in better form than when they played them before, then Swansea and Newcastle.
Points gained in 2016 so far with games left to be played in brackets
Leicester 21 points(9 games left), Chelsea 20 points(9), Spurs 20 points(9), West Ham 17 points(9), Utd 17 points (9), Liverpool 14 points (10), Southampton 20 points (8), City 15 points(9), Arsenal 13 points(9).
In order of best to worst... Arsenal worst. ffs, that list was everyone in with at least a slight chance of making the top four but to put Arsenal's 13 points in some perspective, Swansea and Stoke have 14 points in 2016, Sunderland have 13 points, Bournemouth have 18. Seriously Arsenal, seriously
Though arsenal are only a point ahead of City, we have an easier run in of the kinds of teams we most often beat while City have struggled to beat almost anyone playing half decent this year and have a WAY harder run in. Also with West Ham playing Utd it would be harder for both to get enough points to get ahead of Arsenal.

No idea how well he's played in general but I expected far more from Pedro this season.
Is he a player that was being carried at Barca or someone who's still adjusting to life in England?

yeh bit of an odd one that.
I was annoyed he went to Chelsea rather than United in the summer. Now, not so much lol.
I guess that he knew the Barca team intimately and play style suited them.
Also Chelsea's season has been chaotic tbf.

Another excellent finish.
Abysmal from the defender, could see he was playing him onside.
