97/98, United had a big lead but they also played more games than us and they were pretty unimpressive. We won the league with 78 points that season.
01/02 - Chased down a United side who obliged us by losing six times at home that season
03/04 - May have been unbeaten but drew 12 games. And up against a United team that again were in indifferent form
Liverpool got 96 points five years ago but still finished a point behind City. So no to be fair, this isn’t the same as competing against the Liverpool and United sides of the past. If they win at Spurs on Tuesday, they are 99% certain to do something no one has ever done in English football league history and win the title four times in a row.
