What a fantastic achievement, on such a restricted budget ! I don't know how they do it. Their manager must be a genius, having such meagre resources at his disposal.

[Football] May I be the first to congratulate Citeh on retaining the title.

Hopefully we’ll give the Oil baron boys a sound beating at the Amex again this season.

How DID Pep pull this off? He's pulled Kane, Foden, Sterling and Grealish off the English football scrapheap and somehow made it all work.
I am not convinced Grealish in particular is going to make City a better team and I am not convinced that Pep is desperate to sign either Grealish or Kane. Where there is money there is egos and I would not be surprised to see Pep leaving for pastures new in the next 12 months.

OK, so if Grealish doesn't work Pep might have to resort to Plan B - £60 million man Mahrez. That would be a hell of a riak though, I wonder if Pep has the balls to do it?

You can buy a replica of the Prem trophy on-line for £20.00 and just £6 postage!
I don't see why City don't just buy this - far cheaper than buying numerous players to buy it over the season. Think of the money they would save!

Man U are due another PL crown and a successful Man U is good for the PL global brand so of the likely challengers I hope they can do it for OGS and their massive support.

Their loose.
I wouldn't be surprised if Citeh can the Grealish idea, As good as he may be, and better he may well get, is he as good as Stirling, or Foden ?
As long as they have Ferran Soriano, Txiki Begiristain & Pep Guardiola, they are going to be the favorites each year and also win most titles (though I think the difficulty of the PL will prevent any team from winning 8 or 9 in a row like in some countries).

I actually wouldn't mind City winning the title until the end of time. I don't know any City fans, but know plenty of United and Liverpool fans. It's a much more bearable time when City win

I think it will be between United and Chelsea this season. Citeh will be close but only 3rd for them. Chelsea all depends on Lukaku signing (big if though) so my money is on United.

Agree with you re Sterling and Foden, but City haven't bought Grealish to win the title, they've bought him to stop their rivals from doing so.
The thing I find funny is they're by far the richest club on earth, should be expected to win any competition they enter and have some of the best players in the world coached by the best manager, but you know their fans are still massively bitter about anyone and anything.
