They were close but they got a lot of lucks that come their way. Liverpool, Chelsea and Utd. it's the sign of the champions, unfortunately.

Strange as I've never heard him give that interview before after winning harder comps with a better Barcelona team.
Lots of luck but in all 3 cases we were the better team and deserved all 3 points. Strange view of luck. Would have been unlucky not to win.They were close but they got a lot of lucks that come their way. Liverpool, Chelsea and Utd. it's the sign of the champions, unfortunately.
Keagan didn’t have the managerial league winning experience, nor did his players or club, nor did he have the talent or depth that Guardiola and City and some of their key players has.
It’s a massive difference.
They may cock it up, but it would be as unprecedended as their current season so far. We are talking a virtual opposite on what they have delivered so far, whilst we or chelsea achieve what they have done so far. Realistically I can’t see either occurrence happening.
Missing Kompany, Stones, Mendi and Silva - all of whom are immediate starters. And we still thrash Spurs who played with 11 men rather than the 9 they should have had. It bodes well.
there is no title race. city have won. to think otherwise is delusion.
its ok. work in progress. next year will be different, but we need to improve massively because this is a great city side. the best they've had.

How were we lucky in any of the games you mentioned?
Should I make " Time to put all our eggs in the CL basket" thread similar to last season ?
This shit hurts. Seeing them walk the title hurts, being behind them by 11 points hurts. I hope it hurts the players and the manager too.
Great to see all the City 'supporters' popping up on redcafe of late... Cretins.
Looking at them and how they are in that zone now where everything seems to go their way makes it harder to swallow. Fair play to them and Pep as he seems to coach them to a level where they are playing with so much effeciency . And showing you don’t need a team of giants to dominate opponents.
I mean, with Lukaku changed the games that cost us a game.Morata's injury cost Chelsea when they were comfortable with attacking, since Morata got injured, they sit deeper and defend. Liverpool were down to 10 men. I'm not surprised cos any champions need a bit of lucks in a game anyways.
Ive all but given up on the league, not because i think we're bad or something but city are just too good
However, theyve hit their ceiling and will eventually crash because there is no way but down from where they currently are performance wise, its not possible to maintain that level until the end of the season AND play in the champions league and FA CUp
the only thing im hoping for now is that they lose at least one Premier league game before the season ends so we dont have to call those blue cnuts the invincibles.
Stop worrying , enjoy the ride and hope we do well in the CL. The League is done for

This X 1000 and couldn't agree more. League as you say is well and truly over. I'm looking forward to seeing Pogba back and how we perform in the CL.

City wrapping up the league before the new year. Incredible stuff
Pretty big lead City have racked up.
Odds are certainly in their favour now. I don't think any team has come back from being this far before Christmas?

Drawing today is completely irrelevant to the title race. It was over way before today.
The league winners will break more records by the end of season.
Earliest title win.
Largest margin.
Most points ever in a season.
Most goals scored.
Fewest goals conceded.
Largest goal difference.

Reckon they'll win it by 20 points by the end of the season.
City's form and winning run would've been tremendously difficult for any team to keep pace with. Those dropped points tonight aren't any easier to accept, mind. Absolutely ridiculous.
Nah, they're not conceding less than 3 goals in 19 games.
Anyway, this is done. Might as well lock the thread.
Meant on this season.
It’s was over weeks ago, might as well Close this thread and be done with it.
Done and dusted.
I won't be in Manchester in May - not sticking around to see that sh*t. Will be insufferable.

But it was too early in november according to one of the always changes thread titles Mods so december is probably too early also.
Unlucky 13.
