Crosby Nick never fails.
You would hope City will be knackered next season. They've used the same 20 fucking players all year and I think all except Mahrez were in the squad playing every game last year too. Such is Guardiola's way of doing things that the only youth player he's ever gone with is Phil Foden so he's been using the same 19 internationals for every single game for 2 years now. Surely there's no way they can keep these levels in up for another season?
Tuesday gave me renewed hope but knew it would be a tough ask on the last day against Brighton.Fair play, they had a go and for a minute or so was exciting but city are too good for them.Realistically we did as much as can be expected . 97 points is an unbelievable haul that other clubs can dream about. Only this city team has done it twice.The draws didn’t cost us, you get the odd bum result in a season. We either lost it because we couldn’t beat city in the head to heads or... the other clubs, especially the other top 6, really fell short in giving it a go against city.The table shows how far we and city were from everyone else. So many teams just gave up trying to play city and hoping to contain them. In hindsight too I think if city were still in Europe it would have affected them, but you can’t win them all and we will have to console ourselves with number 6 instead of number 19.
Well played City and well done, they've shown some seriously good form to win this title.
They have peaked, their squad can't get much better.Lots of room for improvement in our squad. We're only going to get better.
They’re going to spend another 200 million this summer by all accounts
City will lose their hunger next season.There is a reason Pep talks about 3 seasons at a club and moving on, Citys heinous owners gave him a payrise to stay for 2 more years and i think it will be a mistake on Pep's part.I think the players will be mentally drained from his perfect attaining demands next season, the effort they have put in last season getting to a 100 points and this long winning run in the league and domestic cups has to have some effect on the players desire under a coach who tries to get everything he can out of them physically.We are winning the league next year and by a healthy margin.
I wonder how they'll cook the books to appease FFP?
Well, that's it then. Football is cancelled.
They will be arogant enough to go for quadrupole next season but will be desperate for the Champions League otherwise pep won't have been a success there. Yes they have won a lot but Pep was brought in for the one they haven't won. Also he doesn't stay in place too long Like Maureen! I think Kompany retiring and Silva and augero getting older will impact them next year and they are at a point the need to build a new core in the team. Can't see Pep doing that
Of course their squad can get better when you have the kind of spending power they do. Their recruitment has been pretty solid under Guardiola, but he does have some key, ageing players to replace now and there's murmurs of discontent with Sane, Mahrez, etc. But they'll spend their way out of it being an issue, same as always.
So proud of the team. Vital that we keep this squad together and the likes of Salah & Mane aren’t sold.
Anyone know when next season's fixtures are released? Wish we could start again tomorrow
Brilliant season and can't fault the lads. No one saw City winning 14 in a row.Looking back at a WHAT IF situation, the game at Old Trafford stands out, where maybe we should have pushed harder in the second half for a win. United only kept 2 clean sheets at Old Trafford all season...against Palace and Us We were very unlucky with the timing of our trips to Bridge, Emirates and OT. We played all of them when they were at the peak of their season and top form...it doesn't feel as bad seeing we have the CL final to look forward to, and it doesn't feel like a fluke season, so I'm sure we'll be challenging again next year.
If people continue to wet the bed next year, I'll continue to call them bed wetters. It's as simple as that.
