Our four PL title wins...

For a min there I thought this thread was about Liverpool and united deciding along with the media to whitewash our Troohy haul...oh silly me that has already happened, hasn’t it? Centurions? Formidables? Maybe it was a dream:)

3. 2018 - 100 points, and runaway leaders - the only stress-free title we’ve won in my lifetime.
4. 2014 - some of the football we played that season was sublime, but on balance this one feels like the least memorable of the four.

This says it all for me
 
So so so so tight between 12 and 19 dor me. Like, 93rd minute goal line 12mm tight!

'18 is the only one we didn't cake our pants at some point while on top, and then bust a gut to end up back there.

Yet i can't really see anyone having it as first choice. We do like a bit of torture it seams.
 
1 - 2012 for so many reasons. Aguero's moment at the top obviously but there was also the 6-1, Newcastle away, that Kompany goal to beat the rags at home. Also, winning it over United is better than beating Liverpool.

2 - 2019. We won the unprecedented (and 'impossible') domestic quadruple. Liverpool had the league won in December. Those 14 games at the end of the season were unreal.

3 - 2014. I think people forget we were dead and buried at one point. Liverpool were clear after they beat us at Anfield. Their collapse and our composure was a thing of beauty. Yaya Toure had the best individual season I can remember from any City player. Gerrards slip, Crystanbul etc.

4 - 2018. It's strange how a season where we broke every record in the book could turn out boring. Losing to United when we could have beat (or drawn) them to win the league is unforgivable considering how good we were in the first half. Going out of the FA cup to Wigan was unforgivable. We got screwed by the referees, but the champions league performances vs Liverpool weren't great either. Jesus' goal vs them Saints was a great moment though.

That's my order too for the same reasons. Another factor which puts 2014 above 2018 was winning it on the last day on home soil, infront of the fans. Great pitch invasion at the end. Memories like that last a life time. It was also memorable for all the Moyes jokes.
 
12,19,18 then 14. Have to put 14 last due to the fact there was little drama from our side. We was brilliant in 2014 but the talking point is remembered by Gerrard’s slip and them throwing it away vs Palace. The only tense moment I remember was the game vs palace which was quickly fixed by Yaya.
 
2012.Even beats a treble season.Brilliant how we came back
2019 Brilliant last day ends a brilliant run of winning games.
If Vinnies goal was on the last game I would have made it number one.
2018 Brilliant to watch,easiest as well.
2014 Red dippers threw it away.YaYa again though doing the business at the end.

Agreed.
 
"It's not so much about what they've lost.
It's not perhaps even so much about how they have lost it.
Above all, it's about who they've lost it to."
 
1. 2012 The ups and downs plus the United players faces on the last day.
2. 2014. Purely for Crystanbul, Slippy Gerrard and pegging back Liverpool.
3. 2019. Brilliant end of season run
4. 2018 Definitely my least favourite. The league was a procession. We were probably at our best ever but the other 3 winning premier league seasons had teams who really put it up to us.

2018 spoiled for me by that defeat to the rags, shouldn't matter but it really hurt.2012 was wonderful but 2011 was even better finally winning a trophy and beating the rags in the semi. Beating Spurs to a champions League place was very special as well.

Gonna give 2013-14 some love here.

Definitely not the only tense moment - Everton away that year was by far the most tense I've been at a game. Only thing that comes close was being at Turf Moor in April 2019.

Loads of drama from our side too - we lost 4 of the first 11 games for a start! That included Chelsea beating us in the 90th minute, Hart got dropped soon after. The Sunderland home game where Nasri scored a goal after a proper howler from their keeper seemed like 2 points dropped but it was a good point in the end. Being at Anfield that day when we lost 3-2 was horrific but it felt great a few weeks later.

Some great high scoring games - beat United 4-1 and 3-0, beat Spurs 6-0 and 5-1 and beat Arsenal at home 6-3.

And as someone else pointed out - it was the Moyes season. Every week it felt like you were hearing "this is the first time United have lost to X since 1973" on the radio/TV. The brief Januzaj wankfest, the "we're not a sacking club", DDG throwing it in in the LC semi final, binned out the FA Cup 3rd round at home to Swansea, the fans having a poll about flying a banner over the ground saying "kill yourself Moyes". The Chosen One ruined everything Ferguson built in a few months and it truly was a great time to be alive.

Same for me. Victory tastes sweeter when its added to someone else's anguish and when its the rags and dippers then its just delicious.

2018 was by far the most enjoyable season overall but its different when compared to which was the most satisfying.
 
2012. First is always the sweetest. Nobody expected us to get near and we knocked United off their perch. QPR game will never be beaten.

2018. Best team English football has ever seen and will ever see. The only dampener was the United game where we should've wrapped it up. And Liverpool away, who had our number on the day in an epic battle.

2014. Seeing the Scousers capitulate and self-implode. Is there anything more sweet in life than seeing that? Other than perhaps shagging the Mrs. Toure was a God amongst men that season. Scuzzers probably deserved it, but they bottled the end under pressure.

2019. Awesome second half of the season and worthy champions. Just didn't feel quite as good as the year before though for some reason.
