I agree. You beat whats in front of you. All you can do. Their achievements on the pitch deserve the highest admiration if you're a football fan. How they got to that situation is entirely seperate.

And we've always had big teams throughout my lifetime of watching football. The money may have been amassed in different ways (lucky with when TV money flooded in, city size, fanbase size, marketing etc). It's always been unfair for me

When liverpool won the Treble in 2001 they beat mighty teams like Rotherham, Tranmere, Wycombe, Fulham, Birmingham and a team that doesn't even exist in a final for while to win theirs.

Give City credit. It's a achievement. We all love be in that position

Of course it's an achievement.

But people are talking about this team in the realms of greatest ever. That is the context.

Not one person, unless idiotic or completely one-eyed would put that Liverpool team with this City team. This City team is being talked about with United 99, Arsenal Invincibles etc.

Personally, that Utd team is above this City team.

And money means something to the context. If everything is stacked in your favour because you're oil rich, whether we like it or not, that makes a difference to the legacy.

Ah big teams dominating leagues always had things stacked in their favour.

BorneTobyWilde

It's 11 against 11, regardless of squad they can only field 11 against 11. Need to match their worth ethic for starters, and so many don't even get close. So many of the so called '' top players'' who are at ''top clubs'' are going through the motions, counting down the days in the week until another 1/2 million hits their bank accounts.

Success brings money brings success. It's different.

Listen... if City's dealings are all legit, then that's fine. They've just used legitimate money impeccably if that's the case, and fair play. It's nice to ruffle the status quo. I don't think that's likely the case though looking at the history and activities of the owners.

Ah so it's not the stacked in favour you've a problem with its the source of the funds. That wasn't clear to me in your posts above. Apologies!

Pep with the 2 easiest cup runs climbing it would be easier to win the CL than what he did this season, then why has he not walked the CL

NIMAN

Talking of the game itself, anyone else think Sane was pretty poor when he came on? And also in the last few months when he's actually got game time.

I think Pep doesn't fancy him any more,and wouldn't be surprised to see him somewhere else next season.

I know it's against UEFA rules.... but the FA Cup should get the 4th Champions League spot.

That would breathe life back into the FA Cup.

At the moment, it's akin to the League Cup.

The diminished interest in FA Cup has been a result of the success of the EPL and the UEFA competitions.

Top teams have to their eyes on the CL
Bottom teams have their eyes on staying in the EPL
Top teams in The Championship have their eyes on getting to the EPL.

There is no use trying to breathe life back into the FA Cup.
It will never be the competition it was.
It is what it is.

No need to apologise. I think I'm slightly conflating the two issues.

Domestic dominance based on who has unlimited funds is an issue in itself, but it's more of an issue because of where the money is coming from.

Its always been an issue imo.

I just feel there are a lot of fans who grew up supporting the bigger teams who used to buy up the players from the smaller teams using their massive financial advantage and dominate the league. Now they are watching other teams do it and it's tough to take.

And the ethics around cities money etc I agree with you. But we are all complicit in things like that, we'll all prob sit back and watch the world cup in Qatar on our smart TVs

FA Cup to be shown exclusively on free-to-air television from 2021 on BBC and ITV

The FA Cup will be shown exclusively on free-to-air television from the 2021 after ITV joined the BBC in winning rights to broadcast the competition.

The four-year deal means ITV will replace BT Sport in sharing rights with the BBC from the 2021-22 season.

ITV will show more than 20 matches a season and the deal also includes live coverage of the Community Shield.

In March, the BBC announced a new four-year deal with the Football Association to show the FA Cup until 2025.

Up to 18 fixtures a season will be televised by BBC Sport plus highlights and online clips.

The BBC will have first and fourth picks of matches in the first, third and fifth rounds as well first pick of the semi-finals, with ITV having the first and fourth picks in the second and fourth rounds plus the quarter-finals.
