OR
We won 6 of the first 8 games which extrapolated over a season amounts to 85.5 - of course it all depends when the "start" cut off is - but yes - you have supported your argument.

When looking back at teams it’s easy to forget that teams didn’t dominate in terms of points won anywhere near as much as City do now.
It also depends what your criteria is. Trophies are disregarded in this it’s just the maths of winning. The Elo score pretty much reflects the preceding 18 months from the date recorded.
Difficult to compare teams over time it’s more the level of dominance within their own times.
No doubt in my mind that we are the best British team of all time. Those that are saying Liverpool in the 70s wash your mouths out!

Just a few more wins and Pep will have the top three all time, and that top spot isn't really out of reach!

Not quite as simple as that! City have lost a load of elo points this season due to the poor performances of other PL teams in Europe downgrading the league we are in.
We were getting very close last season then lost to Brentford and lost around 25 points for that.

Our current standing is not close to the top teams, but it's partly because the period (last 18 months) includes bad results in December, January and February last calendar year. If we finish strongly this season and have a strong start next season, then our ELO should improve significantly.

You’ll need a fucking big truck to remove all our trophies.

That’s true but our teams need to do better in Europe too.
It's 17pts off the top, and 60+ points better than any of the other City teams at least, so isn't that quite close?
