No point in arguing with Maf MkII Melts. He doesn't read the links posted that so I presume he is happy that his fellow 'fans' break into building sites causing massive damage. Deluded idiot but school for him in the morning.

The draw doesn’t really stack up either given we only had an easy draw because those teams beat teams like you themselves. We beat Watford, who beat wolves, who beat you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s Watford, what about the earlier rounds? Cherry pick 4 of the toughest teams in either of the cup competitions and stack them up v PSG, Bayern Munich, Spurs and Barcelona.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Which is fair enough, but then I’ll reiterate it’s a cup competition. By the same logic, surely you should have won a few more FA cups then, as should have we?
Ultimately you’re trying to equate competitions just to get some kind of oneupmanship about it. Both ourselves and you had excellent seasons, we won every domestic competition we entered (that has never been done before) and you won the CL, which is a competition that is synonymous with you more than most.
I don’t know a single city fan that wasn’t overjoyed at our season and wouldn’t swap it at all. The trying to compare it and referencing number of previous trophies is for a certain type of fan that perhaps might be more suited to our neighbours down the road and is saying a little bit about potential similarities with yourself to be honest, hence why I asked if you were mid thirties to mid forties. I’m fine with it, fill your boots, but you won’t get the reaction you’re looking for from those that aren’t likeminded whatsoever.
So you don’t want to pick out 4 of the toughest opponents from your cup runs then?

I wasn’t talking about the league, asked you, and Bomdia previously, to pick out the 4 toughest teams from either cup run.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You were though because you brought a comparative into it, that’s what my entire first post to you was about. Although if you do really want to go down that route, we should be talking about performances really rather than teams, but that’s a debate for another time (and one that I don’t think would be a rational one worth having to be honest, due in part to what I just posted)

As is no doubt clear from the question, I asked you guys to pick out four of the toughest teams from either cup run, that’s what it was specifically. If you don’t want to, then hey that’s fine.
Just shows how the standard isn’t upto the CL.

No, sorry. I think that might better suited asking on Twitter or talksport though, I’m sure you’ll get some takers there. I’ll keep trying not to (albeit failing miserably, clearly!).
Following Maf's logic the toughest games in the PL were Leicester, Palace,Chelsea and Newcastle as we got at least 4 points from every other opponent I think? (might be wrong) None of the rest were up to much by his logic. Even the team that pushed us hard but in the end were second best.

we're # 87.
It says a lot when the intention is to devalue any success attained in sport.
Winning things is supposed to be a good thing isn’t it?
In Red’s mind it seems that it’s something to laugh at.
Oh Ripley,
Rotherham, Burnley, Newport, Swansea, Brighton, Watford
Oxford, Leicester, Burton Albion, Leicester, Fulham, Chelsea
You want to have some plaudits for seeing off those teams?
The four hardest teams faced were ..
Chelsea in the final (genuine hard team), Leicester (who went on to sack their manager), Fulham (who got relegated), Watford (midtable)
Pretty much different from the likes of PSG, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Spurs are similar to Chelsea give you that, but the others? Hardly get the nerves jangling.
Man City got a huge amount of luck in drawing absolutely woeful teams in the early rounds.
Another example of why, despite only moderate success since their last league title, Liverpool are still despised by so many.
They can’t just win a cup. It has to be the best win of all time with the best players of all time.
And no one except LFC fans understand what it means to be a fan of Liverpool football club as it’s so special.
City beat more than 30 different teams last season
That’s probably a record as well
Feck me red just keeps going doesn’t he.
He must have a reasonably expensive amphetamine habit to keep rambling on this thread 24/7 as well as dipping in and out of the party of the decade.
So.. no arguments against what id put forward, re the standard of teams faced in the cups and getting no-hopers in the first rounds.
Ok
Yes like a character from an Irvine Walsh novel
Bit of a Dee Dee vibe from Limmys show...
Looks like ded was up early talking to himself or answering the voices in his head. We beat every other team in league for the second season running. A feat not achieved in modern day football. I'm quite happy with that level of consistency on top of picking a team capable of progressing and winning both domestic cups. Its nice to win by 7 or 9 but ultimately you just go through or go out.
I think our CL exit made it more likely we could land the domestic treble. Far rather that than losing in semi or final and being best runners up ever
Nope, no arguments to the contrary then.
So, was it a treble of trophies or quadruple?

Treble, quadruple, take your pick sugar t1ts, Liverpool have never done either
City played more Premier League teams in their domestic cup double than Liverpool did when they won both competitions in 2001.
Community Sheild is recognised as an official honour in the game, so officially it would be quadruple of trophies won.
I personally don't care whether people want to argue whether we 3 trophies and one glorified friendly, or simply class it as 4 trophies won.
Either way, it doesn't detract from winning the three major trophies in English football. Something never achieved before.
