It's 3 in a row, 5 out of 6. Get it right...LMFAO2 in a row then?
How was it 4 days ago?The last 2 games have shown City are not overwhelming favourites as many say. Right now the football is sleep inducing as it was in the middle of last season.
That's all I'm trying to say. WIN the league. I don't care if it's by 1 or 20 points or in January or late May. That's all white noise to me. All things being equal barring any additional key injuries we are still the best bet, simple as...Being favourites and walking it are two very different things. The odds are about City winning the league, not about walking it. I agree with the bookies we are favourites.
If you believe we are going to walk it, bet your house on it. No, actually don't. Don't rely on over optimistic takes.
If we don't go through injury crises, we are likely to win, not walk, the league. But nobody knows whether important players won't get injured, after winning 3 PLs in a row and the Treble. We are in uncharted waters.

Only one club in football history has won a treble (or quadruple in Celtic’s case) and then retained their league and CL the following season - Ajax in 1972-73.Just good? Is doing a treble the new standard? Wow...

I didn’t say they were. I’m just saying that a shot that deflects in the net isn’t lucky (or unlucky for us).Simply not true. They created very little and even Martinelli's shot would have been comfortably saved by Ederson but for the freak deflection. We actually had the best chance of the game in the opening minutes from Gvardiol and then Ake. The stats say Arsenal had 12 shots, but majority were either tame or more suited for the Rugby World Cup. We also did very little after that initial salvo but they were not clearly superior to us over the 94 mins.
So what's your point? I'm saying winning a Prem or a CL is much better than good...Only one club in football history has won a treble (or quadruple in Celtic’s case) and then retained their league and CL the following season - Ajax in 1972-73.
Crap goal. simple as...I didn’t say they were. I’m just saying that a shot that deflects in the net isn’t lucky (or unlucky for us).

Only one of the ten previous teams who’ve won a treble have retained the league and CL the next season, so it would make it an incredible achievement for us to do it this season… I’d say a better achievement than winning a treble last season.
After our domestic treble we didn’t retain the PL or FAC.
