City is done. I think we are already in the Pep-fatigue phase. They will struggle to even finish second.
Its ok, all the Pep fellators have switched to the yellow-toothed gorilla this season.

I'm not implying that SAF's legacy needed any sort of help as it didn't - He's always been considered one of the greatest.

However, in the years since his retirement, what he achieved just seems to becoming more & more astonishing. We've had some of the best managers in the world in the league, one of which is backed by a fecking country, yet we've not seen a team defend the title once since you lot did it in 09. Clubs throwing around hundreds of millions left right & center, attracting the best talent & managers in the world, yet none of them have come close to winning the three on the bounce you lot did on two separate occasions.

How much of it is down to improved competition is obviously up for debate, but whatever the case, looking back on it, his impact was beyond absurd. No-one will come close to that again.

Liverpool would be 3 or 4 up by now.
City are the most hyped up team in prem league history.
They won a one horse race last year , like Leicester did the previous year.

I was going to stop watching us and paying attention to this season if Jose was not sacked after the Liverpool defeat. Now I wish he wasn't so I would have stopped. This is shambolic. No one is going to stop them. Pep is a fecking wanker.

Edit: Alright lead restored. :)
Was just going to say we have some time left for them to get the win:lol:

I love this game. People massively underrated how hard it is to win back to back leagues. SAF was a genius.
When people say things like this, I wonder if they realise how RAWKish it sounds now.

Y'all need to let the SAF era go instead of forever looking nostalgically to it otherwise next thing you know it's 15 years later and you're still doing it. RAWK style.

Title race would be really exciting if it wasnt Liverpool on top....

Great if it was another Leicester with all the big boys stalling like this.

Edit City back leading

Despite wanting City to overhaul Liverpool I do find it really satisfying watching them struggle and my first emotion when that 2nd goal went in was annoyance.

Feck Mourinho and this season.

I think the GK should be doing a lot better there.

Just unbelievable. Once in a generation we see that kind of talent.
