I love that song, was lucky enough to be at that humiliation and it should be rememberedCity and our fanbase should make much more of us achieving 100 points. It was an absolutely incredible achievement!
I always say that it’s very odd that we sing the ‘it’s only 6-1’ chant regularly about one, non-unique, 6-1 victory at Old Trafford; yet we sing nothing about being the one and only Centurions in English football history.
I know you said IF but let’s beat Forest first, I seem to remember a home draw last season so we need to improve on that result first, they’re a pretty decent sideIf we beat Forest next week. 18 points from first 6 games. We need 82 points from 32 games to be centurions again. 26 wins 4 draws 2 defeats. That looks more than possible again to me based on what I have seen so far this season.
Be amazed if we don’t get 90 points which would require 72 more. Let’s say 23 wins 3 draws and 6 defeats! That’s not happening. This team won’t lose 6 league games.
If we beat forest I think another 18 point from the season is doable and we will be safe from relegation!!!!I know you said IF but let’s beat Forest first, I seem to remember a home draw last season so we need to improve on that result first, they’re a pretty decent side Forrest
City and Nottingham Forest played 5 Games since 1995. Among them, City won 1 games (Total Goals 8, PPG 1.6), Nottingham Forest won 2 (Total Goals 8, PPG 1.6), and drew 2.
If we beat Forest next week. 18 points from first 6 games. We need 82 points from 32 games to be centurions again. 26 wins 4 draws 2 defeats. That looks more than possible again to me based on what I have seen so far this season.

No chanceThink Liverpool will get around 90 points this season! The way they play with the extra time now benefits them more than any club with there attacking choices..
Liverpool 83/84 - minor treble please. League, European Cup and League Cup.I had a look at all other clubs who’d won a treble and how they did in the subsequent season(s):
Celtic, quadruple 1966-67
Won the league for the next seven seasons
Ajax, treble 1971-72
Next season: won the league and European Cup double
Liverpool, treble 1983-84
Next season: 2nd in the league, lost in European Cup final
PSV, treble 1987-88
Next season: won the league and cup double
United, treble 1998-99
Won the league for the next two seasons
Barça, treble 2008-09
Won the league for the next two seasons
Inter, treble 2009-10
Next season: won the Coppa, finished 2nd in the league
Bayern, treble 2012-13
Next season: won the league and cup double
Barça, treble 2014-15
Next season: won the league and cup double
Bayern, treble 2019-20
Won the league for the next three seasons
I know they’re all different eras and different leagues but it didn’t stop any of them challenging for honours again the next season, with 8/10 winning the league again.
With winners, they very rarely let their hunger wane.
I agree, believe they will be our biggest threat, they have an entire new midfield and when (if) that clicks they will be a very good side, add to that they don’t have Champions League (thankfully)Think Liverpool will get around 90 points this season! The way they play with the extra time now benefits them more than any club with there attacking choices..
No chance
Wolves should have been 3up
Any decent team would have destroyed them yesterday
When the chavs sang aboutCity and our fanbase should make much more of us achieving 100 points. It was an absolutely incredible achievement!

If we had won against Everton instead of drawing 1-1 in the second game of the season where we played the entire second half with 10 men, we would've won our first 20 league games of 2017/18.The best in English football history is Spurs from 1960-61 who won their first 11 games of the season.
All the next best are those above from the PL era.
There’s no such thing as a Micky Mouse cup. It wasn’t a Micky Mouse cup when we won a joint record four in a row and six in eight years years, when we won an unprecedented domestic treble/quadruple with that as part of it and us proudly being the second most successful club in that competition.Liverpool 83/84 - minor treble please. League, European Cup and League Cup.
As the latter is a mickey-mouse cup, it's more appropriate to call this the Mickeys' treble.
Maybe, but our mindset might have been different heading into the next game if we did win against Everton and we might not have won that next game.If we had won against Everton instead of drawing 1-1 in the second game of the season where we played the entire second half with 10 men, we would've won our first 20 league games of 2017/18.
Biggest threat to us not winning the title again. With the new higher threshold for contact on fouls that is being applied so far in the Premier League I worry that ref's will allow the opposition to kick seven bells out of us and now that we'll be playing 2 games a week we'll have less recovery time to get over these little contact injuries. We've gone through the easy part of the season and we're already 4 players down and the bench was looking a little light yesterday.We will walk the league if we can get healthy
Very true.Maybe, but our mindset might have been different heading into the next game if we did win against Everton and we might not have won that next game.
It's a joke, mate.There’s no such thing as a Micky Mouse cup. It wasn’t a Micky Mouse cup when we won a joint record four in a row and six in eight years years, when we won an unprecedented domestic treble/quadruple with that as part of it and us proudly being the second most successful club in that competition.
Proper Rag malarkey calling the EFL Cup that, and belittles a number of our achievements.
It might not be as old or as famous as the FA Cup, but the EFL Cup is as big as any other domestic cup competition in other countries and has felt the same as winning the FA Cup whenever we’ve done it.
We’ve called all of our PL+EFLC joint wins ‘doubles’ when we’ve achieved that in 2013-14, 2018-19 and 2020-21. None of them are minor doubles, are they? We even had a line in a song saying it; ‘Sterling won the double, and the Scousers won fuck all’. And we proudly say that we were the first club in English football history to win a domestic and European trophy double when we won the League Cup and European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1969-70.
So we don’t have to be insecure and can call Liverpool’s 1983-84 First Division, European Cup and League Cup wins a treble n’all. It also dispels the myth that United were the first to win a treble.
The problem was teams could opt of of the league cup, and people remember that. For example MU got beat in the first game and refused to enter the year after along with a host of other teams. Not too dissimilar from the Full Members Cup after the Super Cup was disbanded. Then the year later even less clubs entered, and clubs eventually had to be forced to enter.There’s no such thing as a Micky Mouse cup. It wasn’t a Micky Mouse cup when we won a joint record four in a row and six in eight years years, when we won an unprecedented domestic treble/quadruple with that as part of it and us proudly being the second most successful club in that competition.

You may need to get tested for head injury as we beat them 6-0.I know you said IF but let’s beat Forest first, I seem to remember a home draw last season so we need to improve on that result first, they’re a pretty decent side
Likeable? The man is a grade a cockendWe’ll also have the insufferable Arsenal love fest too. Even the likeable Mikel is becoming a tad unbearable.
Anyway, marathon not a sprint. Come on you blue boys.
