A poor signing in Amrabat comes off for his final United game, a just back from injury Varane on for his final game at the end of a dismal season. Kind if an anecdote for us the last 10 years isn't it.

Amrabat is such a donkey on the ball. How we ever brought him in the first place needs asking.

I'm not going to vote because I'm just too much on the fence. I was stronger in my EtH out feelings a few weeks ago. I don't know what it is in me that still wants to give him the benefit of doubt. How has EtH gone from being such a well...

Bruno has been the only constant during this horrible time, seeing him out of the team is a reminder of how he is the heartbeat of the team. Amrabat is not good enough, but its clear to see how we are setting up with a player of his 'mould' in...

Naughty from Bruno G there. He knew what he was doing when he pushed McTominay into Casemiro as he was jumping to head that.

Yeah I get that too. For me personally, I have to admit that the casual dismissal of their success is more a coping mechanism to say I'm not deeply bitter about them. For me, the 115 charges is just another avenue to reinforce that, but being...

Fair enough! For the record, I definitely think there was plenty of bitterness, I just meant less. But there was also a bit of grudging respect too.

Yeah I've actually been debating something along these lines in another thread, pointing out the similarities to United in their pomp. Just feels like the bar is even higher now with this City team. If Pep stayed on for another decade, I...

Yeah that will always be the sticking point, and maybe that made it easier for others to swallow, outside of Liverpool that is. However, I think times are different now. It doesn't matter to most how it is done, only that it's their side on top...

100% this. Watching Sky Sports is painful now. If City win 4 in a row, Richards will be drawing up the comparisons with United of old, talking of how this surpasses anything done before. It's like when Carragher picked the combined 11 from the...

Can't really stand Arsenal, but now that City will more than likely go on to win it I'm sickened for them. It's not just losing the title, but the fact that you have to be near perfect to be in with a chance of winning it, and one off day in an...

United won 4/5 and 7/9 in the 90's, a couple of doubles in there as well, very unlucky in the 95 season, so it could have easily been 8 out of 9 titles and 5 in a row. If we were more competitive in Europe / there wasn't a ban on English teams...

I remember reading about a saying in Germany that went something like "If Bayern win it, then it's like nobody wins it." Another dominant season after this one and how will the narrative change if it starts to get monotonous.

Ah well, 4 in a row it is then. However, for pretty much every football fan around, when City win it, it's like nobody wins it. So I guess there's that silver lining.

When I watch Arsenal, I want City to win it. When I watch City, I want Arsenal to do it. Much confusion.
