Throw Declan Rice in the line up and they might go some way though. Arsenal are probably one of the best placed teams to challenge Man City. Youngest team and youngest manager. 3-4 players away from having a great squad and it looks like they're going balls out this summer for it. They're a year ahead of schedule. If they can learn from losing it then it will stand them in good stead going forward. I don't get the United thing. They seem utterly the same as always to me. Get turned over constantly by anyone decent away. They're fortunate Liverpool have been pretty crap. City are just relentless. Arsenal basically had to win every single game with the pace that lot are setting. They're a team that averages 94 points the last 5 or so years. That isn't normal (and shouldn't be treated as such) Arsenal could have won those 3 games they drew and still been in a tenuous situation as City didn't drop any points. The fact is, the only team that can actually bottle the league is Man City. Their resources mean as much. Edited May 16, 2023 by Factotum

Factotum Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 Ha I'll take, but it is interesting to see just how insane City are. Doesn't really bode well for competition in the league going forward

Perhaps, but no doubt City winning 5 out of 6 with insane points totals is a very rare and I think worrying thing. Even Chelsea with the money under Roman, there was still a competitive league. I fail to see how anyone can challenge City without them having an off season. 2 full sides is unlike anything we've seen

The biggest problem with City outside of the cheating is that they’re bloody good at all the other stuff.

If it wasn't for Ferguson building another amazing United team, they would've dominated for years I reckon. Basically Fergie is the best.

Biggest game of the year tonight. City in the biggest semi final, all level after the first leg so it’s winner takes all for that place in the most glamorous, lucrative final in European football. And I think Man City are playing as well.
