You don't have to go too far back in our history to see it would have taken City three seasons to win 36 games, what an unbridled joy all of this is. Stupendous!Still 3 to go. Should make it 36 to be honest.

Does he mean combined?Every time I’d imagine..
The Fairs Cup at that time was organised by FIFA and not UEFA; was invitation only and entry not on football merit; and was a limited competition which was, in effect, played across two seasons (Leeds' two legged final was played the following season) So you are correct.. City was the first English club to win both full domestic and European trophies in the same season.I'm guessing you are referring to Leeds 1968 league cup/fairs cup win. According to Wikipedia, UEFA did not organise or recognise the Fairs cup so do not acknowledge it as a European competition. On that basis, I'm more than happy to claim City were the first side to win a double including a European trophy.

On average, there should be only 38 PL games played. The extra 6 games helped to push the stat.

Thought they were talking of a calendar year ie; 1st January 2021 - 31st December 2021, everyone plays the same amount of games..On average, there should be only 38 PL games played. The extra 6 games helped to push the stat.

Covid delays pushed extra games into this calendar year. On average only 38 games are played.

But Liverpool were playing a 42 game league season in the 80s so I imagine they would have played more than 38 too?Covid delays pushed extra games into this calendar year. On average only 38 games are played.

So Liverpool arrived at the 33 victories whilst playing 46 league matches 71.74% success.
Our "Boys in Blue" reached that total by playing 41 league matches 80.49% success.
Another record that will be difficult to beat and we still have 3 matches to play in this calendar year.

Floodlight height :)Are there any records left?
City projected to get to 89 league goals by the end of the season based on current goals per game. With KDB back in harness, can we hit 100 and outscore the greatest front 3 in the history of English football?
Yes, I put such a prediction back in August. Let's see what happens.
Why expect many goals, given that we don't have a striker?
Well, in my view, this team is potentially the most creative in the history of English football. It has playmakers across many positions: Cancelo, Rodri, Gundogan, Foden, Bernardo, KDB, Grealish. Mahrez is creative as well and Jesus has been our top assistant so far. We lack a striker, OK, but we will create so many chances (injuries permitting), that we can still hit 100 goals, or at least more than Liverpool. Might be wrong, time will tell.

Never been a fan of calendar year stats in football. I’m not even certain when they became something significant - I certainly don’t remember them being discussed 20 years ago. Wonder if it’s down to the Ballon d’Or factor and people obsessing about that?
Football should only be measured in terms of seasons as far as I’m concerned. That’s where trophies are won and what teams will ultimately be remembered for.
