Comments:
League position: 9thComments:
League position: 2nd The Dubious Goals Committee has ruled on the following: - Manchester City's third goal against Newcastle United on 26th December 2010 was in fact an own goal (Fabricio Colocinni) and has therefore not been credited to Carlos Tevez. [NB Input amended 17 May 2011.]
