As the title suggests when will City get the credit they deserve, we have played the best football the premier league have witnessed, we have broken numerous records over the years, scored more goals considering our football is boring within certain group, the media hate us despite the fact that over the last 7 years we have made the premier league the most entertaining league in the world. The so called top 4 have contributed fuck all to value of the English game.

Agreed if it wasn’t for Pep all the teams would be stuck in the 90’s playing hoofball. There’s still one team that does but it seems their manager is off his head and too busy abusing and gurning at the officials to coach his team properly.

Always have been, our players are criminally underrated (ake, bernardo, stones) especially.

It's good in a way. Remember when Bernardo was in the market a couple of seasons ago for a Covid cut-price and no one came in for him. Ake and Stones are among the best defenders in the league, yet don't have to get worried about anyone poaching them away from us.
 
As a whole most definitely.


Having said that most believe;

Pep is the best manager in the world

Kev is the best midfielder in the world

Haaland is the best number 9 in the world


Collectively though a lot of people are too jealous and salty to acknowledge how great this team are and have been. The 'anybody could do what they've done with dirty oil money' jibes soon follow any praise we are given. You only have to look how much Chelsea, the rags et al have haemorrhaged in recent years to know that spending money doesn't guarantee any kind of success.

I was watching 'The Overlap' the other day and they were saying IF we win the treble which team should be considered the superior. It's not even close! We've accumulated as many points as them already this season with 5 games remaining. Utd were never acknowledged as THE best team in Europe (which we arguably have been for about 3 or 4 seasons), they got absolutely battered in the final and fluked the Champions League and they only qualified for that competition by finishing 2nd in the EPL in the previous season. It's still a fantastic achievement of course and we still have a long way to get over the finishing line. Let's be real however, they are not a patch on this team! In all honesty we should be talking about the quadruple right now. We threw the League Cup away with that team selection at Southampton after already knocking Liverpool and Chelsea out.

To knock us off our perch you realistically have to be looking at getting 90+ points in a season. Crikey Liverpool got 97 points one season and still finished second. They're unparalleled numbers and the like of which we may never see again. Enjoy it while you can!!!

I doubt this team will ever get the credit it truly deserves, but I’m not really that bothered. We don’t need validation from other people. I’m just enjoying seeing us smash records and playing some exhilarating stuff. Savouring every moment as I know it won’t always be like this.
 
We just aren’t liked and we all know why. You only need to go back to when we first started with this period of success. Aguero was totally undervalued and never got the recognition he deserved. Didn’t Mancini and pelegrini both win the league and not win manager of the year? Only times the league winning manager didn’t win it?

It doesn’t really bother me though as it means we’re winning.
 
Looked recently on Burnley and Blackpool fan forums after the Arsenal game. Lots of respect and enjoyment of our football by ordinary fans. The press hate us but their not convincing everyone.
 
We have a fantastic team spirit,with players who are coached well to continually improve their game,we have reinvented how the game is played in England,due to Pep,his success at the top level has encouraged other teams to evolve into this style of play,such is the revolutionary approach he has brought.
 
Just wallow in it. Like I will when our trophies have a pathetic asterisk- imagine the marketing and comedy potential if they ever do that.
Like the Dallas Shower scene - oh that's right FA, none of it ever happened.
