Worth remembering we are very much in transition, Liverpool have for a combination of reasons fallen off a cliff, and we by rights should be nowhere near a title race if so many other clubs were not misfiring. The fact that we have gone from being lucky to have a CL place to pushing for the title is mainly due to the above and arsenal being a lot shitter than they generally get credit for.
What makes city so great is that this is what a 'shit season' now looks like - a cup or two and a top 2-3 finish. A far cry from a good season being 40 points by May, and I'm genuinely excited about this lot next season.
