In a season where Manchester City recorded one of the stronger home records in the league, the club nevertheless finished 19th and was relegated despite winning more matches than several teams above them in the standings.only four teams won more games than them and only five teams scored more, City still finished 19th and became only the second team since the abolition of test matches eleven years earlier to be relegated on goal average - all of this arguably contributing to one of the earliest of the many bizarre circumstances in their history which has become known by supporters as "Typical City".Typical City!
