They did, just as they won the league in 2014. It was their year

Had to laugh at talksport this morning:
Iron fan says Arnautovic thinks hes Eric Cantona and plays like Eric Morecombe (I LOL anyway)

An interesting article copied of the OS from The Independent. Hope it does not break any copyright rules, if so please delete.
Writes Liew: “While you often need everything to go perfectly to score a goal, the principles of the game are built on the fact that you do not necessarily need to play perfectly to stop one.
“Until Manchester City came along, that is.
“You get the ball. Instantly, you see Kevin de Bruyne and Leroy Sane hunting you down.
“A few yards away, Sergio Aguero is blocking the easy pass to your right. Raheem Sterling is blocking the pass up the touchline. Can you maybe bend the ball around David Silva?
“You have fractions of a second to answer. Too late. Sane has wrapped one of his telescopic legs around yours, De Bruyne has gathered up the loose ball, and once more you are defending for your lives.
“Multiply this scenario by 10, by 100, by hundreds, and you get some idea of what playing City these days entails: a never-ending series of multiple-choice problems, each with only one perfect solution.”
We are a joy to watch at the moment.

That Rudd is on one because Pep is making her look a fool this season.
I saw her a few times on Sunday Supplement last season and she was revelling in us not blowing the league away as we are doing this season. She has said, on more than one occasion, that she doesn't "get" Pep, that he talks nonsense and was trying to take the mick last season when Pep, in truth, was just trying to protect the players in the exact opposite way PEG throws them under the bus. She was essentially buzzing last season because she called out Pep early and when we didn't win a trophy you could almost hear her smug "I told you so" coming out from behind that horrid face and hair of hers.
Any hack worth their salt (like Martin Samuel for instance) saw last season what we were trying to achieve and that we'd be much stronger this season, but Rudd had made her position pretty clear all-season.
So now this season she can't say how good we have been because she's backed herself in to a corner where Pep isn't good enough for the Premier League, she made that opinion very clear.
So sit back and watch her squirm. She has no option but to discredit us, otherwise she makes herself look like a bitter know-f*ck-all who got giddy when Pep didn't win every game in his first season.

She predicted us to be a disaster this season and finish outside the top 4. She now looks like a mug and is doing her delusional best to hold on to 'What ifs', reckons Liverpool would have beat us if Mane wasn't sent off.
Journalist's from the Daily Mail assess the season so far:

I know it's the Mail but there's plenty of praise in there (along with a couple of delusionals), according to them De Bruyne romping player of the season so far, majority don't think we can be caught and Ederson battling Salah for signing of the season.
