Fantastic teams don't get 78 points. They were probably a decent team but doubt they'd hold their own against this current Liverpool team who will likely be European Champions. Don't be stupid.

I actually was around in 1999. I was only 2, but I've done my research and I know that that Man Utd team that won the treble, whilst a great team, is not as complete and dominant a team as this current City team. Never before in the Premier League era has a team dominated domestic competition like City did this season. I think you're blinded by club bias to see this.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah so a team with Seaman and that back 4 of Dixon, Adams, Keown and Winterburn
Vieira and Petit (World Cup winning midfield)
Ljungberg, Anelka and Bergkamp
You really are fecking stupid
I'm aware of what players that Arsenal team had, I still think this current Liverpool team would batter them.

You see you just make utterly stupid comments like that. Makes you look even more of a moron than I already knew you were
You know this Liverpool team are about to win the Champions League right?

Right......what’s your point?
Doesn’t mean they would BATTER that Arsenal team at all does it
OP has a point tbf. City came closer to winning the quad than utd.
Also out of all the teams that played in both the 99 and 2019 PL seasons, only Arsenal and Newcastle were better in 99 than they are this year. Apart from huddersfield the rest of the 2019 PL teams, as a whole, were better than the rest of the PL teams in 99. This means that City had a tougher league season.
Ok fine, they'd BEAT that Arsenal team, are you happy now?

That and the fact City needed 98 points to win the league instead of 79.

The Arsenal team could also beat Liverpool. So what’s your point
No they couldn't.
The treble winners were a great team... But City are just greater.

What a pathetic argument you have. You never watched any team in 99 yet you ASSUME that the likes of that Arsenal team couldn’t beat the current Liverpool team. You really have no clue whatsoever do you
Why are you so personally angry because I said I think this current City team is better than the treble winners? That's not a weird opinion to have. The treble winners may have won the comps they did, but they were nowhere near as dominant as this City team have been.

I’m not angry at all. I’m laughing at your ridiculous comparisons and opinions. You simply have no clue. It’s s completely different era. There is no doubting this city side are fantastic and are the dominant team now. Like we were in 99, Chelsea were in 06 and we were around 08.
Fact is no team had a better season than we did. No argument whatsoever
Formations change and evolve with time, as teams find ways to exploit the current norm.
People mimicking it and adjust it to their league/team and the cycle starts again. For that reason and the fact PL teams now seem to be able to buy better players, in their prime years, I think the current 2 could def beat all the great teams before them in years gone by.
The speed they operate and how solid they are in defense, whilst swarming in attack, I think them teams wouldn't know what hit them. The pressing in modern PL is insane as Messi said after the first leg against Liverpool. He said teams can't play at that pace all season and barca couldn't afford to let pool dictate the pace. That signals where Pl teams have improved for me. Before the speed was something our teams changed to win cls. Now it's what our teams use to get thru the club
Saying that u can only beat what is around at the time but it's crazy to compare different teams from different eras really. Games constantly evolving
Man Utd had the (marginally) better season but this City team is clearly better. I don't see how that's hard to see. Like I said earlier, This City team have a stronger attack and Midfield and at least an equal defence.

Marginally....so Champions League is only marginally better than league cup is it
City reached the Quarter finals of the CL as well though so they weren't too far off winning it.

You know what my good man, you are clearly right. Clearly I am delusional for thinking any team could ever be better than the greatest bestest team ever, the Man Utd treble winners. I apologise for questioning how anything could be better than Manchester United.

I never said we were the best ever. That accolade clearly goes to Barca of 09-11
You're very clearly a glory hunter. But well done you for giving another team credit. I'm shocked you can't do the same for this current City team, but whatever.
