Where Does This Treble Put Us?

[Damanino]

Next season when we play as CL title holder while scouser victims will play Fc Uzbekihstan Rovers alongside FC Moldavian Bakers thats when they realize what just happening. :DD

 

[Chi-town blues]

Goated team . That’s all.

Best English team of all time.

4th best team (in terms of dominance of an era) anywhere of all time.

Rank	Team	Peak Date	Elo	Coach
1	Barcelona '12	2012-04-15	2110	Pep Guardiola
2	Bayern '14	2014-03-26	2106	Pep Guardiola
3	Real Madrid '14	2014-05-01	2099	Carlo Ancelotti
4	Man City '23	2023-05-22	2092	Pep Guardiola

City’s current elo points is 2080 so only 30 off the top. If we started the next season with say eight straight wins in the PL we could be top all time.

The above doesn’t show the natural peak more a sequence of dominance (wins) since it’s is very difficult to compare teams in different eras any other way.

I couldn’t care less about the United treble winning team but, for those who do, they are way down the list as they lost too many times while still collecting trophies and had more narrow wins against weaker opposition. The best United team was actually in 2008 and ranks 11th.

As you can see Pep has 3 of the top 4.

City is dominating a division that is by far and away the strongest in the World and at the time when the PL is the strongest it’s ever been.

Forget all the shite about the 99 rags - they embodify the old phrase “better to be lucky than good”.

3 titles on the bounce and a CL triumph as champions puts us level with the far and away best ever rags, the 2007-09 cohort, but of course our treble acts as the tiebreaker elevating us beyond them.

You always look back on your youth with rose tinted glasses and so the dippers in the mid 80s are my personal call as the best ever English team til now - peak Souness, Dalglish and Hansen and they too won 3 on the bounce and a European Cup but they couldn’t manage the treble either.

So surely any dispassionate analysis puts us on our own at the very top. One thing’s for sure - if we retain either the league or the CL next season there’s no argument to be had

If you are the actual Premier League champions when you enter and also go on to win the Champions League, it eclipses anything Liverpool and United have managed to do in the modern era.

It underlines everything.

Especially so, when you defend your Premier Crown in the following season.

Ferguson took 13 years to win Champions League and hadn't even reached the Final prior to '99.

In the seven years Pep has been here, he has won 12 major trophies.

In the same period, Ferguson won five and I'm including the Super Cup in that.

It's not even close now, United count 21 Charity/Community Shields in their trophy cabinet.

Mate, missed a significant detail. There was a bloody World Cup mid season too. I could be wrong but I think we had the most players away taking part than any side in Europe

Can we forget the rags team from 1999 because we are only keeping them in the news, this is City,s time and Manchester is blue as the whole world will see on Monday night. Leave our scummy neighbours in the past where they belong.

 

[aguero93:20]

Very true, we are only the third team in the last 11 seasons to win the competition having qualified as champions.

United did their treble having finished runners up to Arsenal the previous season, wouldn't even have been in the old European Cup!

So that leaves just us and Bayern as the only true treble winners [emoji6]

Celtic and Ajax.

 

[lust overlord]

Some of those players,who played last night have medals from the unique domestic treble.
Double treble winners.
Unquestionably the best premier league side,so far.

 

[Fat Chance]

Broke the busby babes all comps season goal record which stood for nearly 60yrs ...4 times

Unquestionably the best premier league side,so far.

Don’t forget also winning the league with 100 points. Ederson, Walker, Gundoghan, Bernardo Silva, John Stones and Kevin De Bruyne. These players who have been the back bone of the squad since Pep arrived are now the best group of players to have ever played the game in this country.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Don’t forget we’ve got to win the super cup and world club championship before we can say we’re a great side

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

No goals against in the fa Cup

I could have sworn i saw VAR score a penalty against us at Wembley

 

[Manc in London]

If we win the Community Shield, Super Cup, World Club and League Cup, that would be seven consecutive trophies. I think that could well be a record.

I would love to see us win the league unbeaten but appreciate that would be super greedy.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Alongside our domestic treble, only one place we can occupy …

Top of the motherfuckin tree …!

If only we had scored 2 more goals.

151 goals would of rounded the season off perfectly.

How's the piss boiling

This much..!

 

[holty41]

we dont have any history

 

[JASR]

Ahead of Liverpool FC.

Have you ever done the treble have you fuck.

But they did have the bus painted ready for their quad (4 trophies on front), so we must bow down to their superior ability at airbrushing over facts.
