Best Achievement

100 points in the Premier League is a ridiculous achievement. Liverpool already can't get 100 points mathematically this season to put it into context.
 
THE treble, as you put it, has to be more difficult than domestic clean sweep as the CL is more difficult to win than the League Cup. Unless you're including the Charity Shield in the domestic clean sweep, but that's basically a glorified friendly.
THE treble, with the team qualifying for the CL as champions has only been done by City, but the rags also did a CL/PL/FAC treble.
Centurions is unlikely to be beaten, or even equalled, but Liverpool achieved 99 in 2020 so they've been close.
Four in a row is the most difficult for me as it shows consistency over a long period. We also won the League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League during those four seasons.
 
Pretty much, somebody chose all of the 4 options, my own personal opinion for what its worth, (and i can't really seperate them) is Centurions, and 4 - in - a -row. As i posted, i don't think either will EVER be equalled, let alone beaten.
As others have said, 4 in a row, is phenomenal consistency over 4 years (unbelievable really), and Centurions is equally phenomenal over one season, 32 wins out of 38, ( every away game won bar 3)

If any older City fans thought they'd ever see the likes of this, i simply don't believe them !
 
Genuine question, which of the four below, do you think is the best / hardest to achieve ?

1) Domestic clean sweep
2) Centurions
3) THE Treble
4) 4 - in - a - Row

I don't think is as simple, as i suspect many would say, - the treble, because of the Champions League.

3 out of the 4 have never been done by anyone else, and i believe at least 2 , if not 3 will NEVER be equalled, let alone bettered!

1) The domestic clean sweep, although its arguably a pre-season friendly, (you had to also have been successful the previous season) to even be in the Community Shield. Also to win the lot, no blips in minor cups (or you're out), so also no concentrating / or prioritising one competition.

2) Centurions, nigh on perfection throughout the whole league season. Identical records, home and away, 16 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat, out of 19. Yes 16 wins out of 19 AWAY!

3) The Double at home, and the Holy Grail (you'll never win that), the Champions League, knocking out Bayern, Madrid and Inter.

4) 4 - in - a -row, its the one Pep had painted on the wall, (never been done before, until now)

Not asking which is your favourite, asking which is the best / hardest to achieve?

Do you think the Club / Pep / Players would agree with your choice?
None of it matters because I keep being reminded that we are cheets and have cheated our way to all this success. Anyway, the Treble and the domestic Treble are amazing achievements.

Slur Alex said it was impossible to do the domestic treble. It's great that he has lived long enough to witness the greatness club side in English history achieve the impossible.
 
4 in a row. Never been done in the history of English top flight football. All the other achievements were sensational, but I think the 4 in a row was such an effort it has taken its toll this season in many ways. It will be a long long time before any club ever gets a sniff at it.
 
We are also THE only English team to hold the Premier League, FA Cup, European Cup, European Super Cup and World Club Cup at the same time- another unique achievement to our club.

Of the lot I'd say 2023 and the Quintuple. The European Cup and Prem Lge are so hard to win in their own right. To claim them both and the FA Cup, and then cash in the other 2 really is spectacular tbh.

I know the UK press pack like to pretend it didn't happen, but it did.

The likes of Liverpool, United, Arsenal have never.....
