The ‘Proper’ Treble

I hate these comparative analyses - there are so many variables which make them flawed. Added to that I don't care about the Rag version - I'm only interested in ours. I know I will never forget this season and the tremendous achievements we turned in. Having one of our invincible runs in the league that killed off Arsenal, beating our red neighbours at Wembley and then fighting like heroes to win the UCL. It was a magnificent achievement and I feel honoured to have witnessed it. No Rag comparisons for me as it's not necessary - we all know how marvellous ours was and how we felt when it happened.
 
Meanwhile back at the Etihad trophy room Mavis has her work cut out.

You forgot the Liverpool crap treble of UEFA Cup, FA Cup, and League Cup?
 
It’ll be a bit easy at the moment but in a couple of years it’ll be a good quiz question.

“Who were the only side to beat City by more than one goal in the season when they first won the treble?”
