Maybe. But imo, the way they play forces the balance of probabilities on their side .
For all their talk of records, smashing every clubs transfer record to pieces is the most significant thing city have done. The league, it’s history, the record books, have been monetised and bought by the uae. The game has been cheapened beyond belief but the way we consume etertainment and sports means nobody seems to care.
Congratulations and all that, but doesn’t it feel a bit empty when it’s been done without a single penny of your own money?
I think we'll always be in the 90's or there abouts while he's hear, he's simply that good at beating the trash, even if we amazing against the top teams we'll drop very few points against the bottom 14. We dropped 14 points this season, 6 to United and Liverpool. So 8 points total against teams outside the top 4 which is mental consistency. The concern is not the big teams beating us but that other teams can beat the bottom teams as regularly.
Second best team in the Premier League finishing 4th then?

You didn't go unbeaten though so who cares?
Seriously though, this was much more deserving of a golden trophy than any other year. Congrats.
Somehow beating the best team the PL has ever seen under the best manager the world has.
You can't say it's not a farce. Stupid money and the manager most synonymous with PEDs. How can you not question it?
Nope, not even a little bit. In fact knowing we have an owner who puts into the club instead of taking out is a great feeling.
Think if I was Spurs I'd trade finishing one place higher for a spot in the Champions League final.
Youre forgetting their most important record of all. The one without which none of it is possible. The spending record.
Bought every single thing you’ve just listed. Of course it doesn’t bother you, you’ve all been bought too. Like trophy brides
+79 goal difference. Incredible, and depressing. They’re going to run away with it next season too, think we’re in for a tough few years. I can’t see how anyone is going to match City for the foreseeable future.
Precisely. That winning run they went on at the beginning of the season laid the foundation for this.
Tremendous achievement, but they can still feck off.
You beat us at OT
Pretty sure the Man City-fans care very little about this, so you need to brush up your punches mate.
History likely won't care about that.
Everyone knows though. I find it odd that more don't acknowledge it however.
Without your ill gotten gains, you are that very trash you speak of.
The most un-classy team and fans ever.
No humility whatsoever.
Wonderful. So if the world's richest person takes over another club, pumps £10billion into them and they win the title, will that still be a great feeling?
You have an empty victory, bought and not earned.
Yep, all those achievements are pretty hollow when you bear in mind they're just an Arab plaything. Means feck all. A decade ago they were irrelevant, getting beat 8-1 by Boro. Nothing has been earned by them, everything handed to them on a plate. A very expensive plate.
They've just activated cheat mode on Football Manager.
(Not bitter)
I know it doesn't really matter but that last minute city goal to get them 100 points has deflated me somewhat

English fans whining about other English teams spending a lot of money... the hypocrisy is strong
Like a lot of young fullbacks you see, he looked good going forward, sketchy in defense. Having said that Aurier was a walking disaster, seems every time I watched Spurs play Aurier was on a yellow dancing a fine line to a red or giving away a penalty.
Next step for City has to be getting to a CL final, much more important to establish themselves in Europe than win more titles in England now.
Big challenge for Pep. It's possible to buy the league but buying the Champions League is impossible, teams usually have to grow together for that to happen.

I can tell you from experience, moaning about their spending only makes the victory a little bit sweeter. It's much more fun to beat a bitter rival than a classy and respectful one.
Now Leicester winning was really noteworthy and deserving of gloating lists. City were often really impressive but the rest of us were shit (not their fault, of course - you can only beat what is put in front of you, as we often did). But, they were given the golden goose and they are enjoying the feast, so I can't get excited about that - or genuinely upset either. They don't even feel like local rivals, weirdly. I won't be losing sleep over it like I will about the resurgence of the Dippers who have (sickeningly) clawed their way back into genuine contention for being a dominant force in the more traditional way. Bleurgh.
.They're so quick to forget and ignore it. It's weird. They're everything that's shit about football
Terrific league season no doubt. Congrats, but I think there should be a big regret about how you lot were trashed by Liverpool in CL.
He needs to play to get better though. He's always done well for Spurs in the few appearances he's had.
If you're going to be bitter, at least be upfront about it and stop hiding behind prissy, sanctimonous nonsense about City's win being "shallow", "Arab plaything", like that's supposed to be a counter to a team who just handily won th league and smashed numerous records along the way. Deranged lot 
Yeah, it’s like a collective memory loss.
They are basically MK Dons with unlimited funds.
That's fair enough it was a disappointment but the two goals we had chalked off made a massive difference
And I'd swap United's 2nd place for 4th and being in it too. Still, you know what it's like, the pettiness of football fans. If we could finish 2nd or 3rd today Liverpool fans would ideally see us finish 3rd.
Of course, you could have finished in 3 different positions at the start of the day but it was clear from early on that 5th wasn't going to happen so 4th is the best (or worst) that people could hope for you today.
It's makes me laugh that they act like anything they do is an achievement. Every team that's been bought and funded like they have have gone on to win their league.
The additional 'achievements' this year are fishy as feck considering Pep's history and that it's not been done before by better teams.
Finally some away points! Really enjoyable game to say goodbye to Arséne, with Huddersfield giving it a real go (unlucky not to score a couple).
Meh, first leg sure, but at the end of the day they got proper screwed by an incompetent ref.
Sky sports wanking over liverpools “unbelievable” 3rd place finish.
Sorry 4th place finish, even worse!
