100 points for City this season. Only 2 losses. 19 points between them and 2nd place United. And yet if you ask most people they'd describe this season as :francis:

It's been a great season. Some disappointments but this City team is in the conversation with a very strong case as best premier league team ever.

Contrast that to having a player score 31+ goals and not even come close to winning the league, waiting until the last day to secure top four because said 31 goal player couldn't do it against Chelsea, Stoke or West Brom. Only 2 players have scored 31 or more goals and not won the league. They both played for Liverpool.

I wasn't even talking trash on City. They have had a record-breaking season that will put them among the greats. An unfair weight of expectations and one poor performance at Anfield have partially overshadowed all of that.

So all that said, what's your club doing on May 26th?

03 aresenal went undefeated. 98 Man U were treble winners.

This man city team is not the best ever. And if u going on talent alone, they still aint.

03 arsenal had so many draws and only won the league. This City team has more wins, points, goals etc. etc. The Invincibles team isn't even one of the 5 best teams ever in the prem. It just gets romanticised because they didn't lose but they didn't win that much either. No real honor in grinding out boring draws.

The United treble team is the only team I'll say is better because in England the treble is very difficult. City probably wouldnt get 100 points if they had gone further in Europe.

OK this is bullshyt that you can't possibly believe. Just because they would've had a few more matches against teams like Roma and Real doesn't mean they'd get lesser results against the likes of Swansea and West Ham.

Just takes one slip to not get 100. We played Spurs and won but if we had to rotate the team for CL we may have dropped points. Very thin margins, not to mention how tired the team looked against Huddersfield and for the first half against Saints today. CL takes alot out of you, Liverpool had to rotate and you see the dropped points against West Brom and Stoke.

What's this I'm hearing about Morata possibly going back to Juventus in the summer :laff:
I’d be shocked if Morata is at Chelsea next year, unless they ask for an unreasonable amount of money for him. Atleti and Juve are both planning pitches to get him this summer, and he would probably prefer either side over another year at Stamford Bridge.
