I think we will be ok here because these things tend to go in relatively short cycles but it is worrying seeing a team win 4 out of 5 years. Despite what sky try to tell me I don’t even like watching city play, I find it so boring to watch seeing sides passed to death. When Barca did it under pep it was a bit better because at some point messi got it and did something special with City it’s very formulaic and boring or though technically very skilled.

That's kind of where Emery is trying to take us. I don't mind it being "formulaic", and the art of picking out an inch perfect pass that then gets played on inch perfectly to a teammate with one touch is sometimes mesmeric. If it was so formulaic it would be easy to stop anyway. The issue with city is the players they've got doing it, shouldnt be able to play together. No club can, within the realms of the current FFP regulations, afford them so City shouldn't have that squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite a lot of people despising Klopp and Liverpool, they have been the only team to challenge the City dominance and the games between those two teams have been really exciting. Signing Haaland has made things very predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the point though. They will finish top and probably win the champions league for the first time too.

Yes, I expect so too, but what you said was 'they [Liverpool] have been the only team to challenge the City dominance' and that just isn't true, and my evidence it isn't true is every league table this season. 2 minutes ago, PaulC said: Liverpool of last season would have won the league not just been top for most of the season ??

Liverpool came really close last season and have 97 points one season yet still finished second. At best Arsenal will end up with 90 but I doubt if they will get that now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 City win another tainted title that they'll hopefully (but highly unlikely) be stripped off in the future. Arsenal fans to be left disappointed after their team chokes and throw away the title. And when/if they eventually are awarded the title no one will care. Win win.

Tommo_b Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 If they are found guilty of the charges against them, the consequences will be far reaching, not Just Premier league clubs will feel aggrieved but all across the champions league clubs. This could be really bad for Man City. Toney gets an 8 month ban and cannot participate in any football. Surely what City has done is way worse and will bring a much sterner punishment. 5 year bans for everyone involved and the club expelled to the 9th tier would be a good start.

I really dont think anything will ever happen from the cowardly authorities though I hope I am wrong.

Mic09 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Well, if they win the treble there is a good argument this team is one of the best in history. It has been assembled by fraud, but that's not to be blamed at De Bruyne, Rodri or Grealish. They are excellent team with an excellent manager. They are a horrible club.

With cheat mode on Hereford Town could assemble the best in history, it’s not even an achievement, it would be a joke if they didn’t win every competition they entered, it’s almost pointless at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
