Jordan just said 80 points is ‘not remarkable’and is the lowest total for years!

we have 9 points left to play for FU*K SAKE

70 by the rags last year wouldn't have got second, neither would 79 if they win all three.

Nice piece from Will Unwin in the Guardian rating the players' seasons. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...-manchester-city-premier-league-title-winners

Not a bad read but the Guardian still cannot resist their diatribe about money nor understand that we are not state owned.

I wonder when Palace last got 80 points if it's not that remarkable?

Just a reminder for any lurking journos or whatsapp group members and a reminder for us. Done what he said. Love the last quote btw.

'My intention is that Manchester City has the very best people at its disposal, both on and off the field. For that reason I have asked my friend Khaldoon Al Mubarak, to take on the position of Chairman of the Club. My request to him has been to put together a board and executive team that is worthy of the heritage and potential of Manchester City.

We are ambitious for the club, like you, but not unreasonably so and we understand it takes time to build a team capable of sustaining a presence in the top four of the Premier League and winning European honours.

In cold business terms, Premiership football is one of the best entertainment products in the world and we see this as a sound business investment. That being said, we understand that we need to put money in to get the club to where we believe it can be -and where we think you the fans want it to be.

I should perhaps also explain that despite what you may have read, I have bought the club in a private capacity and as part of my personal business strategy to hold a wide portfolio of business investments. I am a football fan, and I hope that you will soon see that I am now also a Manchester City fan. But I am also a long-term investor and that is probably more important to the club and to you because it means we are here for the long haul and that we will act always in the best interests of the club and all of its stakeholders, but especially you the fans.'

'So what do the next ten years hold? I know you all remain ambitious and so do I. It feels that we are only half way up our Everest. There is much more to do and there is much more to win. That is why you will continue to see us strive to recruit the very best talent into this club and its sister organisations in all functions and at all levels.

Khaldoon and I know that we will not get everything right all the time. As we continue on this journey I would ask you to please always bear with us and please be assured that, even when we stumble, we will try to remain true to our values and to make you proud of what we do and how we do it on your behalf.

Over the last ten years I have learned a lot more about what it is to be a City fan. I understood quickly why 40 points is important - and why inflatable bananas (and now sharks!) still make an appearance. And whilst I don’t have a Lamborghini, I was very tempted to get one a few years ago. It has been a most enjoyable education for me.

That said, what I have always known is that players and management will come and go from our Club, but you the fans are permanent. I will not forget that. I hope you have enjoyed these last ten years and I promise the next ten will be no less exciting.'

There you go scribblers - got to be a couple of articles in those two posts. No need to thank me.

That’s a top stat, to be shouted from the rooftops.
City are a team, and what a team.

We scored moreas a team than all the others with their high scoring individuals. And of course conceded free than everyone else even those with an £80m centre back.
