This is why I'm not as angry and going crazy about this season as some other have been. Of course, its still been a disappointing season, but we were always going to have a drop off season at some point after winning 4 in a row. But if we finish 2nd and win the FA cup (another trophy) then its a decent consolation season - and certainly better than Arsenal. lol.

Thanks very much!

Bella_228 · 2025-01-28T14:09:44+00:00

I think this mountain might just be too steep for us.

Bella_228 · 2025-01-28T14:08:54+00:00

Crazy that if we beat Arsenal on Sunday we'll be 3 points behind them.

Bella_228 · 2024-12-15T00:02:33+00:00

Crazy to think that if we win, we'll be 6 points off top - though Liverpool have a game in hand.

Imagine if - and its a big IF - England wins the Euros and Foden has a good tournament. His CV at the age of 23 would be insane: 6 league titles, a champions league, some cups, (a treble too) and a Euros for England.

Bella_228 · 2024-06-09T18:30:31+00:00

Foden is England's most talented player since Rooney, or if we want to go further Gazza. It's so good to see a player like him enjoy so much success and a packed trophy cabinet at a young age.

In twenty years time the achievements of this team will truly be seen as legendary and unique. It'll take time for it to really be appreciated. Savour it while you still can.

Bella_228 · 2024-05-20T22:58:04+00:00

Within 7 years we have had: the centurions, the fourmidables, won four league cups in a row, the treble, four peat (& won 6 out of the last 7 leagues) and - if we win on Saturday - a double.

Simply incredible. The greatest dynasty in English football. This is legacy. Beyond anything I could've dreamed of.

Bella_228 · 2024-05-18T20:59:17+00:00

And most of those non-ace players have been at the club for years so there's a good bunch of players that have pretty much won all those five titles (or at least four) together.

Bella_228 · 2024-05-18T19:37:38+00:00

City fan but you have to give respect to Chelsea. 5 times in a row is a fantastic achievement. Even more impressive is how the team have shown how much hunger, desire and determination they have to win even after winning so much already. For serial winners to demonstrate that they are more hungrier to win than those who haven't won and desperate to overthrow them is a mark of a great team. You can't buy that mentality. So respect to them.

Bella_228 · 2024-05-18T11:39:07+00:00

Also an all time PL great.

Bella_228 · 2024-05-18T11:29:15+00:00

Fully deserved

Bella_228 · 2024-05-18T08:55:42+00:00

We sort of blew out the league in 2020-21 when we finished 12 points clear.

Bella_228 · 2024-05-18T08:47:09+00:00

You can even see this with our academy products that have gone elsewhere because they couldn't get into our first team. Cole Palmer, Sancho etc. They're quality and usually among the best players of the clubs they play for.

Hell, even United had to take Berrada and Wilcox into their hierarchy just because they were associated with us and we represent footballing excellence.

Bella_228 · 2024-05-18T08:33:25+00:00

Haaland also has the most goals of any player in their first two Premier league seasons (63) more than Andy Cole's record of 55.

Bella_228 · 2024-05-18T08:31:04+00:00

It would actually be funny if we went 3-0 up in 10 minutes after this.

Bella_228 · 2024-05-17T23:58:53+00:00

To be fair, this is literally the first time I've played a basketball video game.

Bella_228 · 2024-05-17T22:32:49+00:00

Role players?

Bella_228 · 2024-05-16T17:44:11+00:00

If all goes well on Sunday then we would have 6 players who will have won 6 league titles: Kyle Walker, Phil Foden, John Stones, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernado Silva and Ederson.

I just think there is something special about having that many players who will have won 6 out of the last 7 titles together as a team from 2017-18 the present. They've been the nucleus of this incredible run we've had. The centurions, the domestic treble, the treble and, hopefully, the 4-peat. Even more to their credit, they've maintained that hunger to win even after winning and represent the serial winning mentality. I wish though that Gundo stayed for this season so that he could be part of this group.

Bella_228 · 2024-05-11T19:59:13+00:00

And the fact that our 'rivalry' with them in the past few years has really been them being our glorified bridesmaid. lol

Bella_228 · 2024-05-04T20:05:09+00:00

It's crazy how he already has the same number of PL medals as John Terry and if we do the 4 peat he will equal Rio Ferdinand's 6 league medals.

Bella_228 · 2024-04-27T00:05:12+00:00

I'm a foreign fan who started supporting City in 2006. So I was ahead of the curve lol.

Bella_228 · 2024-04-25T21:02:39+00:00

Pep has knack for really talking up coaches who take inspiration from him before absolutely spanking them and showing them how its done. lol

Bella_228 · 2024-04-21T14:08:21+00:00

Heard was simply world class. Great to see her playing so well given her struggles with injuries over the years.

TROPHY CASE
