10 game law
City's clash with Middlesbrough will give the answers

THE CUNNING FOX, 27.09.2009

City will play Middlesbrough on Tuesday and this will be a very special game. This is the 10th game of the season. Why is it so important. The answer is, it tells you were we will finish at the end.

A win will give us hope of a play-off position, a loss will give us more or less a mid table run for the 2009-2010 season. The situation in past seasons shows that we will be 3 place up or 3 places down from the position we have after 10 games.

We are 10th at the moment and the play-off's are in reach, and with a great result away to Middlesbrough we will be three points closer to the play-off positions.

Here are City's positions after 10 games in the last five seasons

2003-2004, Premier League, 10 games, 20, Finish, 18
2004-2005, Championship, 10 games, 16, Finish, 15
2005-2006, Championship, 10 games, 16, Finish, 16
2006-2007, Championship, 10 games, 19, Finish, 19
2007-2008, Championship, 10 games, 17, Finish, 22
2008-2009, League 1, 10 games, 2, Finish, 1

We are all excited by the game coming up on Tuesday
