Kompany boost for City
COMEBACK TRAIL: Vincent Kompany
By Stuart Brennan | 8 Oct 2013 08:59
Vincent Kompany could return to action for City in the crunch match against Chelsea on October 27.
A scan on Monday revealed that the Blues skipper had picked up a thigh strain during the 3-1 win over Everton on Saturday, and not a recurrence of the groin problem which kept him out for three weeks at the start of the season, as first feared.
City’s medical staff have not confirmed the extent of the strain, although it is understood that the injury is not too serious – and Kompany could be back playing in three weeks if it is a grade one injury.
He is expected to pull out of the Belgium squad for their World Cup qualifying games against Croatia and Wales
He is also likely to miss City’s trip to West Ham a week on Saturday, and is a doubt for the trip to play CSKA Moscow.

Bit like Boateng when he played for us - he pulled out of one tackle in a season and that was it. How the feck he plays for Bayern, I'll never know. Can't believe we didn't start with Negredo who'd have made him his bitch in about 3 minutes.

Advise her to trim more often and it won't come to that.

As has already been pointed out, this type of stat is more or less worthless unless it's combined with other information.

I think points are kind of important as well.

And how exactly are the pts allocated? By the goals scored for and against in each game. Fact.

But if you win a game 10-0 and lose the next seven 1-0, you'll be bottom of the table with a positive goal difference.
