Nah, they won the league fair and square that season. They were 20 odd points clear.

It’s just a shame there was no one there to see it.

I think 'fair and square' is pushing it when a lot of points were gained by fooling and pressurising weak and confidence drained referees. They gained a LOT of points by diving, handballing, kicking, pushing and various other acts of assorted shithousery, it's easy to play with confidence when you know you can get a free kick or penalty whenever you need one.
They may have still won the league without VAR but "fair and square"? Not for me. When a team's main game plan is to create contact and deceive the referee then "fair and square" doesn't come into it.
The best I can say is that they took advantage of a unique refereeing situation and made sure they made the most of any advantage they were offered whether it was within the rules of the game or in the spirit of fair play or not (usually not).

Goal disallowed for a "push on a defender" (about as obvious as the Frontzec penalty for the rags) when Southampton would've gone 1-0 up.
Numerous "accidental" handballs ignored in build-up to goals for.
Playing "fergie time" to get (and score) late "dived and won" penalties against Leicester.
Strange refereeing decisions against Chelsea. Equalizers being disallowed for being mm's offside "in the build up".
Strange going's on against us.
The list is almost endless for that season

People's memories of how favorably they were reffed that season astonishes me.

Just had a look at the City thread on RAWK and my word, they’re absolutely rabbid aren’t they? The hate & anger they have for us is absolutely unreal. You actually worry about the mental state of some of them to the point I’m half tempted to donate some tin foil hats to ease the pain.

They're not at all acidic reaction to our result v United is exactly the sort of vicariously joyous response one would expect upon seeing *checks notes* their "fiercest rivals" getting walloped by a team they *sorry, notes again* "couldn't care less about".
