They are boring to watch, it's all gone a bit stale.
Everything is painting by numbers with Pep. When you constantly spend big money and have the most talent in the league, his formula is going to win the majority of the time.

When he doesn't have superior talent and he actually has to coach, it's when his flaws as a coach get exposed.

And I don't mean that as an insult. There are plenty of clubs that spend big money and can't find a coach to create a system and culture of winning. I have no doubts that Manchester United would be a power in Europe if Pep went there in 2015 (or whenever he went to City).

We couldn't win it in 2014 against Benfica with a much stronger team so I'll go with no
I’ll always be fucking annoyed with Conte at this.

All to get his meaningless record points total, we pretty much gave up a chance to win a European trophy at our stadium. We were easily a top 10 club in world football in those days too.

Last matchday for CL spot race is gonna be interesting

Newcastle, Chelsea, Villa all on 66 pts

City are on 65 but have a game in hand and they play Bournemouth on Wednesday and Fulham on the last matchday

Newcastle play Everton at home, Villa play a finished Union away and Chelsea play Forest away

I think City are gonna sneak through but I have this strong feeling that Villa will join them as well. Out of Newcastle and Chelsea, I see Chelsea missing out.

Oh and Forest are in the mix as well

For Forest to make CL, they need to beat Chelsea and they need at least one of Villa/Newcastle to draw/lose on the last matchday

I want City and Newcastle to make it. City because its a top team and will be back with a vengeance next year. Good entertainment value to see them up against Liverpool and Arsenal again.

Newcastle because they look really promising. They have a strong core of players, just won their first title and if they get top 4 again it'll allow them hold onto their best players, perhaps add 2-3 good signings and then compete for the title in the next year or two.
