Like every season mate we hear ridiculous comments from the media like " City should be winning every trophy with the money they've spent" " would be a failure of a season if they don't win the champs league" etc etc. They're sharpening their knives as we speakSo many playing into this media hype of us doing the quad.
being set up to fail
Well for the betting man it's down to 6/1 now with most High Street bookies.If i was a betting man i wouldn't put money on us winning all four, i just get the feeling we'll slip up in one or two of them.
The title and one other would be a fantastic season in my books
ExactlyThe 'quadruple' is a media device to slate us as failures if we don't win it - never been done (albeit we're rather good at achieving things no other team has). Don't play along. If it happens it happens - but Pep's just trying to win one game at a time.

Last season. When people talk about Barca winning 6 trophies it was all done in one calendar year and relating to one season. So 20/21 would be 20/21 League, 20/21 CL, 20/21 FA Cup, 20/21 LC, 21 CS, 21 SC, 21 CWCWe weren't in the recent charity shield.
Does that come under last season or this current season
The league title is all but done. Out of respect to the league, we'll likely field strong sides for the remainder of our games.Need the rags to collapse as soon as possible, then use the extended squad to manage out the premier league games and go all in for the cups. Pray everyone gets back from the international break ok, Leicester away and then Dortmund at home are huge games.
I'm getting fed up of people complaining too, if the media and pundits weren't talking about it people would be complaining saying we aren't getting the acknowledgement for getting this far.I'm getting fed up of people saying 'why is everyone mentioning the quadruple'.
Everyone is mentioning it because we are in an unfathomably good position. We're the best team in the world right now. Arguably, the form we've shown since December puts us up there with the greatest football teams EVER. We have everything lined up to win all four.
That doesn't mean we'll win all four. It doesn't mean we'd have failed if we don't. There's still a hell of a way to go, but if any team in world football is capable it's us and if you'd have offered any fan this position at the start of the season they'd snap your hand off!
We'll field a side that suits us and us only.The league title is all but done. Out of respect to the league, we'll likely field strong sides for the remainder of our games.
For the FA and League cups we'll likely stick with Stephan even though Ederson is by far the better keeper.
Yes but it seems extremely unlikely to win all 4, we just want a simple acknowledgement of the work Pep put in to make a 360 from the start of the season. With talks of all 4, it's like they're setting us up to fail.I'm getting fed up of people complaining too, if the media and pundits weren't talking about it people would be complaining saying we aren't getting the acknowledgement for getting this far.
Yep. Merely seeking to downplay our achievements if we get them. "Well of course, what do you expect after the money they've spent. They are not *proper* achievements like when United won things with their own money".Like every season mate we hear ridiculous comments from the media like " City should be winning every trophy with the money they've spent" " would be a failure of a season if they don't win the champs league" etc etc. They're sharpening their knives as we speak
