have to say Man city look like a force this season, but its all a ploy from Claudio to lure you into a false sense of security that we are no longer title contenders and rubbish once again 
City won their first 5 last season and finished 4th. There was talk of them romping away with the title.New Years day is the first table that tells us anything.

City have always had the quality to win but were always inconsistent under Pelegrini.
They won't lose against the lesser teams under Pep.
Yup, they really do look a completely different team already under Pep.They won't lose against the lesser teams under Pep.
Early days yet, but with his track record, and the players at his disposal, I'm not inclined to think they will have much of a drop off in form that they have shown in the past.
I'm staying with my prediction that they'll win the PL, I hope not run away with it, but there is a fear they might and the bun-fight will be the close fought 'best of the rest' contest between Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs and possibly Everton for 2nd to 6th.

I think City are favourites too, but its too early to tell whether they are suddenly unbeatable under Pep.

Track record? Has he got a track record other than managing the absolute best team in its respective league, a league that doesn't contain much in the way of other credible alternative winners? Two horse race leagues at very best.
So, up to last year and excluding Leicester's winning the PL, remind me how many teams have won it since Arsenal last won it in 03/04....?The PL is hardly much more than a two horse race league either in reality, given Athletico under Simeone has made the Spanish league closer to a 3 horse race in recent years.
Since it started in '92, it pains me to say it, but Utd have still won more PL titles than all the other winning teams combined....
Hopefully, all the current chasing pack will give City a decent challenge and they won't run away with it - but I have a feeling we'll all struggle to hang on to their coat tails.....
I'd love to be proved wrong on that though
