That's currently the go to jibe of bitter know nowts against City. Previously City couldn't be considered a great side unless they won back to back PL titles so they had to change tack. Even a unique domestic treble that even GPC said was impossible to achieve or 100 points in a season and the record number of goals scored in a PL season doesn't appear to have impressed these tossers.Almost 24 hours later and I am still puzzled by the arrogance/ignorance/ pettiness of Carragher to question whether this City could still be considered "great" if they fail to win the Champions League.
Micah seemed a little taken aback and waffled some nonsense about being great "in the context of the league". He tried but unfortunately he wasn't sharp enough.
The correct answer is if this City team cannot be considered great because they have never won the big Europe trophy, then there has never been a great Arsenal side, a great Tottenham side or one from Wolves or Leeds or Everton etc either. Such a notion is clearly nonsense. Nobody in their right mind would make that argument. Yet it gets levelled at City.
It's tiresome that City are held to a standard to which others are not. I like Micah but I really wish we had someone with a bit more of a spikey attitude when confronted by such childishness.

Correction, Domestic Quadruple. (in 1 season) :-)That's currently the go to jibe of bitter know nowts against City. Previously City couldn't be considered a great side unless they won back to back PL titles so they had to change tack. Even a unique domestic treble that even GPC said was impossible to achieve or 100 points in a season and the record number of goals scored in a PL season doesn't appear to have impressed these tossers.
He once opined that the best way to stop City was to leave a foot in on their best players.Murphy, “Van Dyke brings down KDB was the right thing to do”.
Paul Merson likes this post.To be fair, I think that description of a “wasted coke head” is apt for many a former player.
To be fair, it was the right thing to do - but only because we didn't score from the resultant free kick. So stupid and clumsy but through sheer luck, the correct decision.Murphy, “Van Dyke brings down KDB was the right thing to do”.
And Liverpool will never be a great premier side unless they win back to back premier leagues!
That’s what we were told.
How did you know which one was which?Just popped sky sports news on and the impartial Sue something and stephen warnock letting the world know how incredible liverpool are. Genuinely would think liverpool won 3-0 on listening to them.
Quadruple.We still don’t get enough credit for what Pep’s side achieved over the two seasons.
We went from being Centurians with a league cup win to winning a domestic treble and amassing 198 points over two seasons.
Pundits said that to be considered great you have to win back-to-back titles because it’s the hardest thing to do in football. We did that smashing numerous records including being the only side to get 100 points, the only side to win a domestic treble and winning one of the closest title races of all time.
I’m not sure if many fans of other clubs actually realise the scale of our success of those two years. In fact, most probably don’t even realise we won a domestic treble.
They were both good and yes Sutton is a knob. Tries to manufacture arguments,i missed Mohammed but Gordon was great call more so i pay your wages so answer the question
