CL/EL/ECL 22/23

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Wait till Pep goes, he’s their SAF

Look at Chelsea, we thought they would be at the top table forever and even they crumbled, eventually.

Will City actually be that hungry for success next season? Let’s hope for a treble hangover that lasts a while.

For starters, we need to beat them in the Charity Shield to gain a slight mental shift going into the season.

Imagine the narrative and headlines are already written. If we lose it will be "Arsenal bottle it again" and "still can't compete with City" etc. If we win then it will be "glorified friendly, doesn't really count" and "City's reserves" etc. But yes essential to go in with some sort of mental edge.

Not expecting anything to come of the charges though. There will be some loophole and they'll be fine. Maybe some token fine that's barely noticeable when your funds are infinite or a transfer ban for a window when they don't need anyone new anyway. The way the commentators and all the pundits gush over them felt a bit sickening. Thought I must have been getting the City TV coverage.

The one thing our club and players cannot be having next season is being outdone in hunger and desire for achievement by Liverpool or Man United. If things don't come together for City (be it because of hangover, key player loss, being shite) we have to be the ones capitalising. It would be devastating to me if either of those two seized the opening.

welp, Citeh collectively shit their pants but it's done. Invincibles > Treble.

Gazza M

the drop off from pep to the next manager will be severe. he's one of a kind for pushing elite players to higher levels. a return to a pellegrini/mancini semi-banter era would be most welcome

Claudius

Didn’t watch this farce. The PGA chief said it best. You can’t compete with money. It genuinely hurt when United, Liverpool and even extravagant Chelsea won. This feels like nothing. It’s been inevitable given how much they’ve spent.

Even when I think about the 115 charges against them. The victory is bringing the charges forth. There is zero chance a club by these resources loses. They’ll outspend the Premier League 10:1 on legal fees and call it a day.

For me when those teams won it, it obviously hurt but it still felt like it would be possible for us one day and something to aim for. Now it just doesn't feel like it ever will be.

What are the CL qualification rules from next year? The format is changing from 2024/25 right? Is it the same that the top 4 qualify for the CL or are there more spots now from each league?

5th could get you CL but depends on coefficient points

Clrnc

I don't feel anything at all. Absolutely forgettable, hollow victory.

Let's not forget Citeh was actually banned for this year competition but all of a sudden overturned it after a dodgy hearing. And now they won it. Lol

banduan

What Citeh will say in their defence is that Chelsky were allowed to get away with shit for so long and also just cause the other clubs don't have dodgy owners doesn't mean they don't get up to dodgy dealings- Manc's Chevy deal case in point.

True. In terms of motivation, no team in English history has won 4 titles in a row so that could wet their appetite potentially.

Claudius

I think our team has motivation. The fact that all these kids are quickly signing extensions is very encouraging. And that we are strongly linked to Ricedo. I would not be surprised if we had a 90 point season

Bryant

I saw KDB played with a torn hamstring for 2 months that completely tore yesterday. Sounds like he probably won't be ready for the beginning of the PL season.

Bryant hope his career is done.

goon

I know it’s been mentioned on here but good riddance to BT Sport.

Wishful thinking maybe but hopefully TNT don’t let ‘Fletch’ and Macmanaman anywhere near a game again.

Mirth

goon CBS do a much better job. For one they don’t take themselves too seriously and try and ‘push’ an agenda.

QuincyAbeyie

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert what the fuck?

goon

Mirth

Yup. I was saying to someone yesterday, it's kinda mad that the guys often going viral this season in their coverage were CBS and Drury, both working for American broadcasters.

Sky and BT just sticking to the same old tired pundits, presenters, commentators and format. The likes of Roy Keane, with the charisma of Eeyore and nothing insightful to say, has no business being on TV.

They do have a great chemistry but target the ‘social media’ and younger generation.

QuincyAbeyie too much?
