The Official Manchester City Premiership Champions Thread

Were playing some beautiful football again today.

I've a bet on 5 - 1

(And 7 - 0 but that's out the window...!)

We’re missing Sergio badly

At least we won't have high drama on the last day of the season.

[Wacky Racer]

Will we be the first team to score 500 goals in a season?

No.

It’s just struck me my mindset is changing.
In the old days, at 3-2, I’d have thought “here we go again”.
But at no point was I in any doubt we’d win easily.
Happy days

Looking extremely impressive gents

De Bruyne is just on a different level at the moment - those two slide rule passes were both sublime and ridiculous, in equal measure

(Is there any chance of you loaning him to West Ham in January? )

You’ve already got 2 old favourites

The great thing at the moment is how everyone is getting on the score sheet.
OK, we miss Sergio, but it’s not like we’re a 1 man team like the Spuds

Hmmm how many goals would you have scored yesterday without De Bruyne?

What would the score have been against Chelsea without De Bruyne's goal?

Thing is though, De Bruyne IS part of the City team, so the point is a bit odd. I imagine Barca and Argentina wouldn't be so good without Messi, but they're not without him.

Here's the thing...tell stuartmmfc that Spurs aren't without Kane but even when they were last season they ended your good start to the season and scored more goals without Kane playing.

You Spurs lot don’t half bite

Yeah, it's a known flaw

Thrashing injured Stoke is all well and good. And they're being hyped as the best team in Europe right now. The match against Napoli on Tues will be a good test of how far they've come (or not).

Aren't Napoli the only top flight team in Europe to have won all of their games ? Pretty sure they are .

Will be a great game,

They won 3-0 again yesterday.

No one at City takes things for granted at all, even though we’re currently the best team in the PL this season.
However the Stoke match wasn’t exactly a one off this season was it? There’s been a couple of tests so far and we seem to have passed with flying colours
The difference this season seems to be about desire, work rate and really playing as a team, none of which have been consistent qualities previously.
Even a poor result on Tuesday wouldn’t diminish the progress under Pep currently.


As a side thought, how comes Stones, Walker and Sterling (and Delph to a certain extent) can hold a place in the team and don’t look out of place but look bang average when playing for England. Pep for England (eventually )

They have also thrashed Liverpool and comfortably beaten Chelsea.


Neither are exactly setting the world alight but they are hardly duffers.
