Whilst going unbeaten is great would i swap that for

Biggest pl winning margin
Most pl points in a season
Most wins in a season
Most pl goals in a season
Best pl goal difference in a season
Most pl titles in a row
Most pl away wins in a season
Most wins in a row across all competitions in a season.

Yes it would be great to go unbeaten all season, would i swap it for any of the above ? No.

I'd swap both "most pl away wins in a season" and/or "best pl goal difference in a season" for the unbeaten accolade, they're nice but both fairly meaningless. None of the others though.

The Invincible tag only begins to be meaningful in any way if its across the entire season, in every competition entered and it's in addition to an unprecedented points haul.

Can you imagine the flak City would get if we only drew against a rival who was reduced to 10 players for an hour? Imagine the flak if we had 6 players booked! And, do you think VAR would have intervened at all if that had been Caicedo on Gonzales?

Keep kidding yourselves that it was a great point against the Chavs. The rest of us can live in hope that a wobble's coming. There's still a very long way to go, so let's see where we are when you come to the Etihad in early April.

TBF the score would probably have been 6-6, with City having been 5 goals ahead and then the defence deciding to play like they are on a crack comedown.

Yep. As a club we've realised that when we do things on the pitch the media throw up their arms and foam at the mouth, which is then swiftly followed by the footballing authorities changing rules, outlawing it and removing it from the game.

So far it's all going to plan. No more 13mins of injury time for your lot now! ;)

Next up we're going to block keepers and defenders at corners until that's banned too.

We're knocking off your shitty tactics one by one. Be afraid, because in no time at all you'll only have open play from which to score your goals! ;)

Good plan. I think we've maybe got wind of that, and that's why we've not scored a set piece in our last 4 league games and our last 9 league goals have been from open play. ;)

Listen, we're just never going to be as free flowing and as attack minded as a Pep team. He's the best manager ever, so it would be daft to try and out-Pep, Pep. We've found out own style, it's a bit more solid, a bit more structured, but still capable of playing good football at times, still capable of scoring lots of goals, and still capable of winning games. We'll need to see if it's enough to win the big prizes.

Charming. Again, my point wasn't about doing it, my point was that as with all clubs and fans there's a bit of double standards when your own club does it, that's all.

I’m only giving the charm you deserve. Fuck off to an arse forum. The fact you’re commenting on time wasting is equal parts fucking hilarious and sad.
