Provided they make 2 or 3 decent signings in the summer, these pricks will probably be serious title contenders next season unfortunately.

The Paper Boy has done a far better job than his much more experienced predecessors post-GPC.

Although bound to be an unpopular opinion on here you are correct. United have improved a lot and any objective analysis would agree with you.

Its taken them years but they seem to be on the right track

Both rankings have 4 English teams in the top 7. No wonder other countries want to stop the PL.

We could end up playing them for the Super Cup

Manchester is pretty much centre of the football Universe right now

Just seen on sly sports news that the rags are the first team since 1964 to score 6 goals in a European semi final. Why is that even a thing?

I think you are confusing our poorer season with their slight improvement.
They are only within 10 points because we have dipped.
Them finishing 0n 80 points this season would look shite when we finished 100/99 points etc. So even us finishing on 90 ish points this season makes them a long way behind.

The other thing to be remembered we are not going to sit still. We also will be looking for one or two new signings.
We have a solid team already and a better manager.

Lastly, history has shown every time they look like they are getting it together, they go backwards...

The other thing is how well City improve, we’ve played an entire season without a striker. I don’t think it’s by design neither, I’m sure Pep would have wanted to pick a fully fit Sergio all season, we buy a striker and Sterling gets his form back that’s a lot of extra goals weighing in. I think this City team can improve and this is a transitional season of Pep rebuilding, we haven’t done bad 6 points off winning the league, a league cup and reached the semis of the champions league and Fa cup.

Listen these lot have massively overachieved are folk forgetting the poor results they have had ......... had Liverpool not been so bad ...... had Chelsea got going early and had Tottenham not had a relic at the helm then they would have been struggling for a top 4 place
This is a team that less than 2 months ago couldn’t get a win at WBA a win at a Chelsea team in free fall and failed to beat Palace .......... let the loons think they are near because judging on what City have done ( considering your start ) they are light years away and should they sign 3 players does that mean everyone else cannot make any signings ?????Chelsea and Liverpool for me will finish above them next season
