    Manchester City

    Hats off to City. 38 games and did the double of 100 goals and 100pts which is nothing short of phenomenal. 50pts at home and 50 away.

    They were so much better than any other side it was almost embarrassing.

    Couple of facts. Arsenal finished 6th but in terms of points were nearer bottom place than top.

    City won more games than the bottom 5 sides put together.

    City's season will take some beating.

    100 points target reached .......... in the 4th minute of 2nd half injury time. That's what I call leaving it late.

    Any which way, they have had a great season.

    Great season yes but at what cost They have spent 1billion on players Not one player has come through the ranks They are still only paying the council £2 million a year rent For a stadium built in lottery cash Yet get £35 million a year from Etihad for naming rights Yes it's a great achievement to get 100 points but in MoP it just been bought

    Can't really disagree with that but the forum needed a new thread.

    I agree but a lot of teams have thrown money at it in the past and failed, money doesn't guarantee success but it helps.

    Spot on MoP. The example I prefer of money not equalling lots of silverware is those nice people from Bell End Road.......
