    Since Di Zerbi did his weird 'come and get me Liverpool' speech, their last 10 results (in all competitions):
    W 2 - D 2 - L 6
    Scored 4
    Conceded 21

    Still find it funny that a lot of pundits valued Ferguson at £100m and was a worthwhile investment

    Reckon Potter might end up replacing De Zerbi. Their players have just lost the plot a bit. Too many changes and a little like Newcastle, a number of players have dropped to familiar levels - Dunk, March, Welbeck, etc, are all kind of Longstaff types.

    It ain't Chelsea under Mourinho though thank ****. City are tedious winning everything, but the football has never been dull.

    Aye, fair point. Any sport that has this much domination isn't healthy. Look at the struggles of F1, I think parallels can be drawn. It's really struggled as it's just been Schumacher into Hamilton into Verstappen with each one winning about 10 in a row, predictable and dull. The fact they're so exceptionally talented kind of becomes meaningless, which is a bit like City. It's like "yeah, Foden, De Bruyne, Haaland, Gvardiol, Rodri - how the **** could you NOT win the league?" which then dimunishes the achievement.

    You have City winning every year - and the best hope for a change is Arsenal, or Liverpool? It's almost as bad as voting for UK governments: "I ****ing hate Tories, who else can I vote for? Labour? Anyone else? Oh, ****. Tory it is."

    I think change is coming. There’s a sleeping giant in black and white about to land.

    Rise will be far more gradual than City, but will happen.

    At the end of the day it's been far, far worse in other divisions - Celtic in Scotland, PSG in France, Bayern in Germany etc

    This is true. At least Man City have only dominated for the last couple of years and teams are catching up.

    I genuinely believe this is the last season of Man City dominance.

    You’ll know it’s coming when Pep leaves. Not because he leaves as such, but because he won’t fancy losing.
