City custodian Jeo Hart is reeling from Manchester United going 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
Hart and City blew any slender hopes of catching the leaders by losing 2-0 against Everton at Goodison park while United ground out a 1-0 win over bottom floaters Reading.
Hart said: “We’ve been up against a killing machine that keeps churning out results.
“Maybe we’ve drawn more than we would have liked to.
“This has not been a perfect season and it needs to be perfect to win this league.
“It’s not been this last year, that’s for sure. It’s been tough. We’re not in the position we want to be.
“We’re still in the FA Cup but a little further away in the league.
“Unfortunately when we do lose, United stretch that lead and it has been disappointing.”
City face Manchester United at The Old Trafford on 09th April 2012. They may also meet in the FA Cup semi finals, if United beat Chelsea in the return leg at Stamford Bridge on April 1.

The
Ivory Coast International Yaya Toure and his agent yesterday made it clear that
the former Barcelona man will be leaving City in the end of the season if the
contract is not renewed by this Saturday.
Toure’s
ultimatum has alerted European giants including EPL side Chelsea, who see the
powerful Ivorian as the perfect replacement for aging Frank Lampard.
The 29
year-old still has two years of his contract to run and will have to pay £22m
to buy his way out of the Premier League Champions. Under FIFA rules, players
over the age of 28 are allowed to buy out their contracts if they have not been
offered a new deal after three years at a club.
Roman
Abramovich’s side will hand him that in a signing-on fee if it means they do
not have to pay a transfer fee for a player. Yaya was brought by Manchester
City for £25 Million from Barcelona in 2010.
Chelsea’s
chase is made harder by La Liga giants Real Madrid as Jose Mourinho is a long
term admirer of City Star.
A top
Madrid source confirmed: “Jose loves Yaya and has wanted to sign him for
years.”
