If you count only the games in which Rodri was available, we did really well. Had he been available for Wolves away and Arsenal away, those 91 pts might have easily been 95.

I’m not going to use words like ‘worry’ two days after winning the league. But if there was one slight concern going forward, it’s the over reliance on any one player. And it seems like Rodri fits that category at the moment.

We’ve done without Debruyne for lengthy periods on more than one occasion. Foden not always been in there every game. We managed over a full season without a single striker. The ‘keeper now has a more than competent back up.

But the thought of Rodri picking up a serious injury is the one that would make you a bit nervous at the moment.
 
After the bad beating we took at Villa, things were not looking good. We’ve been beaten a few times in the last 4 years, but hardly ever when we’d been beaten by a side who simply outplayed us for 90 minutes. And Arsenal and the Kult had both started stronger than us.

Happily (and praise be to the Club World Cup, most excellent and worthy of tinpot trophies, which turned our season right around), that was as bad as it got.

We dropped 8 (EIGHT) points out of possible 69 points after that.

In track and field terms, it was like being 50 meters behind at the bell in an 800m race, and only taking the lead 10 meters from the finish.

If you think that’s boring, then this probably isn’t the game for you.
 
I love how people still view us as that City of old and refuse to recognise that, as the most successful English club side in the past decade, we have made quite a bit of prize money too. I haven't looked at how much Arsenal have made, but I would guess it's not quite as much.
you have to win prizes to win prize money tbf
 
No mention of 115.

A record fourth consecutive Premier League title cements Pep Guardiola's Manchester City as one of the best Premier League teams in years.

So how do City compare to some of the other great Premier League dynasties?

Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have all previously had seasons to savour.

Read our list and then rank them below.

there is no rank, there is no comparison, we are in a group of one and it doesnt matter what club you try and shoehorn into the conversation, the facts speak for themselves in the same way that the facts speak that the 100 point team is the best pl team of all team, these forced debates to ease the rags, dippers and tarquins feelings that their clubs arent special are boring.
