95-100.

[TheDrowningMan]

Given City’s resources finishing second is more of an indication of how good a team is than actually winning the thing. They might have a transitional season here and there when a manager is either new or loses interest, but for the most part they’ll win the league more often than not until their owners get bored. I hope that day isn’t too far away, because if they carry on as they have been, it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re the next team to get to 20 titles.

At the very least.

The league is choker with mediocrity and cowardly teams.

 

They'll get close on 100 again only thing that will stop them getting that many is if they are out of reach at top and going for european cup.

The bottom teams are no worse than in the past. In fact they're probably far better as they have more spending power then they've ever had. The difference is that the top 6 is now so good that it makes the other teams look bad. 

[Captain Howdy]

In fairness teams have dominated financially throughout the history of the premier, Blackburn, Utd, Chelsea but I’ve never seen anything like this, I’m not being pessimistic but I don’t see how we overthrow these, yes I know we can beat them on our day and regularly do, but over the course of a season, I just don’t see it.

I'm not so sure about that...i think we have entered a period where much like with rotation in the cups even from teams who aren't gonnna go down and who never win anything  to 'save players' we have teams going to city and barely putting in a performance as they are 'saving' themselves for 'more winnable' games ahead.

 

You used to see the odd surprise result, teams digging in and grabbing draws etc....city are walking games, winning by cricket scores and not even having goals against them - all versus opponents who for my money are beaten before they start/totally overawed.

Tell you what, it's gonna be really, really hard to take when we finish on 88 points and still finish 7 points shy of City, not even in the title race by the middle of April.

[J-V]

Coutinho's scored within 2 minutes of the start  Sign him up.

United have spent similarly so 2nd for them would represent failure.

It’s going to be even harder for City to take when they’ve scored shitload more goals than us but we finish above them by three points having won every game between now and the end of the season by one goal to nil.

In the league:

Arsenal (A)

Huddersfield (H)

Wolves (A)

Newcastle (H)

Fulham (H)

Cardiff (A)

Brighton (H)

Liverpool (A)

Burnley (H)

Tottenham (A) is their next game

 

In the League Cup:

Oxford (A)

Fulham (H) is their game in the next round. Fulham are leaking like a sieve at the minute.

 

In the CL:

Lyon (H)

Hoffenheim (A)

They have a double header against Shakhtar Donetsk next

 

---

So far, the only side they've faced that could be considered one of the elite is ourselves. Top-6 wise, they've only faced Arsenal, and that was in the opening game where Emery was still finding his feet in England. They've played all 3 promoted clubs too.

 

By contrast, we've had away games at Tottenham and Chelsea in the league, plus the City game at home. We also faced Chelsea in the League Cup, plus PSG and Napoli in the CL. PSG have dominated in France for years because they are on a different financial field, and Napoli might have won Serie A once or twice in the last few years if Juventus weren't being Juventus. The first promoted club we face is Cardiff at home next weekend.

Exactly, they've played nobody yet.

 

Im not denying the fuckers are playing some super football.

 

But if they smash Chelsea, Spurs and Utd, then ill start to worry, until then im happy more than happy with keeping pace with them.
