Weird how city and the rs regularly go on 10-15 game winning streaks almost every season now. Years ago it was a very rare occurrence - unbeaten streaks yes, but straight wins ?

Isn’t really weird they’ve just got better teams than the rest of the league.

And the worst teams in the league are also much, much worse as well - the gap didn't used to be as big. The days of needing 40 points to stay up are gone (fortunately) just like the days of winning the title with much less than 90-odd points.

Even United under Fergie never reached these heights, they won title in 95/96 with 76 points. You would be 20 points off top these days with that.

Premier league is boring nowadays, the RS can win more away games in a week than we do in a whole season.

Rope a DOPE (ing)
”overtaking titles” and “knocking them off their perch” are two totally different things.
When whoever is in charge of Manchester City when they eventually become the winning most Title winners I am sure he won’t go around saying “we knocked Manchester United off their perch”.
It was a stupid platitude uttered by Feguson long before United exceeded the RS in title wins.

Ok luv
The mid-90s Man Utd teams were clearly the best in the country but they weren't making in-roads in the CL. They weren't laced with star quality in every position. The hoovering up of top talent wasn't quite as established. In short, they were very good but flawed. We now have a situation where the league's best teams are also comfortably in the top 2/3 teams in Europe. Most of the league is canon fodder to these sides. Mixture of money and excellent coaching. Dropped points are extremely costly within this context.

There's so much evidence pointing to doping it's unreal, aside from the mad winning streaks they put together.
Look at the players the rs and city sign - not world class but decent players on their own, never setting the world on fire but ok, average - Bernardo Silva, walker, de bryne, Salah, mane, Jota, Diaz, Rat face Robertson, coutino etc.
When they get them they ain't pulling up trees, then a few weeks later they look completely different players - fitter, faster, quicker, more stamina, zero drop off in performance playing 2 or 3 times a week - it's a marked increase, just due to boss training methods and zany, chirpy, upbeat managers apparently?
Then look at the players performance drop off when they leave said clubs - coutino being the prime example - it's night and day how bad/unfit/poor they go, and reeks of ped use.
He's still not right at villa (getting better, but not where he was at the rs) and were expected to believe that it's only because he's missing reichsfuhrer Shippmanns finger up his bum in the changies now and again and a few hugs off him on the training pitch - do me a favour.

A lot of absolute wham in this sentence, sorry.
