Which was your favourite title run-in?

For me, really close call. 2019 was my favourite title win prior to this season just gone, but I’m now really undecided.

In 2019, we were like a machine. And we had the Kompany goal. And the last day at Brighton was magical. The whole day. What a place to win the league. Plus, all the other stuff we won, weighed against the crushing disappointment of the Spurs game.

2022 had a far more dramatic denouement, and we faltered a little more, although at times in the run-in our football was peak-Pep imo. Wolves away springs to mind. As a backdrop, two of our cup exits were hugely disappointing.

Both were utterly incredible.

It’s a really tough call!

2019 was better.

We played better, beat tough opponents and won 14 in a row, unlike this run-in where points were dropped every now and then. Both seasons show that we are good at chasing as well as leading the table against a relentless team. Outstanding achievement to win them both.

They were both outstanding achievements. Those who questioned the fortitude of this group of players should have a long hard look at themselves.

They are winners and warriors.

2019 Still exhausted till this day, what an incredible run that was, not until most of us are long gone will the testimony of that team be recognised, it was a monumental effort.

Watching it as said was exhausting, I would not like to think the pressure and intensity the management and players were under.

Agree about their place in history. It was truly incredible. Winning 14 games on the run is an incredible achievement at any level. To have to win them at the business end of the season, when every win was required, and to deliver that; what an unbelievable sporting achievement.
 
The final game made this season incredible, but overall 2019 was just outstanding. I mean they both were really but to win so many games to clinch it was an unbelievable achievement. We also beat the dippers to give ourselves that chance. This season to cope with so many injuries defensively and still do it deserves credit. The back 4 was chopped and changed and as per usual little media acknowledgement of that. Stones and Ferny at RB v Real. Ferny and Laporte at CB for Wolves, West Ham and Villa. Imagine the dippers without Van Dijk and Trent for key games. Their excuses would already be written.

2-0 down, 20 mins to go? Game must be won? Bah, piece of piss.
 
2022, no contest.

The media hyping up the Liverpool “quad” only for it to crumble in hilarious fashion.

The fact we were at home for the last game so I could actually be there.

THAT comeback against Villa.

Sensational.

Just a shame we didn’t win the Carabao :(
 
2019 for me, both city and Liverpool where relentless that season. The win against Liverpool, win away to United under unbelievable pressure, aguero late goal against Burnley, stones clearance, kompanys goal, Liverpool scoring flukey last minute winners seemingly every week and we won the clean sweep domestically. What a great season that was
 
2019 was relentless and the Kompany goal was the stand out moment.
2022 has been frustrating and I really don’t think we’ll appreciate what the players have achieved in the face of - injuries, round pegs in square holes and the constant sickening fawning over the skiprats by the media - right now the enormity of their success is still sinking in. To coin a phrase this last one means more.
 
It’s like being asked who your favourite child is. I love them both of course! For whatever reason, I found this one more tense. The sense of relief when we won it was as palpable as the joy.
 
2019 is so close to the 100 point season achievement personally though that 100 points just edges it because the domestic treble will be the first one to be done again 100 points if does get done again can’t see it.
 
I dont enjoy the close run ins as they are happening, i actually find them really stressful. Pathetic i know.
But the feeling of aguerooooo, or the Komps goal or the gundo comeback is a feeling like NOTHING else in life.
So it makes the stress worth it in the end.
im still buzzing about the villa game.

when we won it by a million points it brings its own smug enjoyment but not the euphoric high.

im dreading the low of the year we dont ‘find a way’
 
I would be lying if I said I enjoyed either until after the final whistle was blown. Although the 20 mins at Brighton was a stroll.
2019 was easier to deal with the pressure of the run in because we had chased the lead down. 2022 was about us failing and the glory of the Dippers.
The thought of us giving up what looked like a huge lead and those fckers winning all four trophies nearly made me physically sick. Especially when we were 2 nil in both of the last two games.
I think the Dippers would have gone on to win the CL if they'd won the Prem.
I've looked up denouement and I'm still not sure I know what it means
