It feels a bit like being a 100m runner in the Bolt era, there’s not much you can do when they’re in the mood. I was arguing that last season but we did hand it to them a bit. Not this year. We pushed them all the way and it still wasn’t enough. They’re just relentless. Whaddaya do?
See the interesting thing about the season Liverpool won the title is that City didn’t go into beast mode

They were doubled by United and Wolves, lost to Norwich and Southampton as well as Chelsea, Spurs and of course Liverpool

By the standards they’d set from the previous two seasons they were poor


They weren’t brilliant when they won the title back in 2021….lost at home to Leicester, United, Leeds and Chelsea. But they were much better away from home…but they still finished on fewer points than we managed this season.


The difference is the level of quality in that squad. Unfortunately I think they’ll continue to win at will until Guardiola leaves or the FA does what it should do (but probably won’t because the British government won’t want to fall out with the UAE)
