They accomplished this by rattling off an absurd 33 games unbeaten in all competitions making it 6 titles in 7 years for the Citizens.

Season Preview:
Man City and Arsenal have distanced themselves as the clear favorites for the title. With Arsenal closing the gap and beating Man City on xG could this be the year that they get over the line? There are some large error bars on Liverpool with klopp retiring and Salah getting older, will they be able to insert themselves in the title race again like they did last year?
For top 4/5 can Aston Villa repeat last years feat thanks to the normal culprits being completely incompetent or will one of Chelsea/United get their **** together finally (hopefully not)? Spurs went full Spurs throwing the match vs City to stop arsenal from winning the title while costing themselves top 4 in the process, will they be in the race again despite doing no business at all in the summer to address squad needs?
The relegation fight as usual has the 3 promoted teams as favorites to go back down, but with PSR looming in the background could we see a surprise team relegated?
All I want from my Sunday is some more lol man united. Hugely disappointing if November 11th officially marks the end of the manchester united banter era.
Firing a manager after 10 games is so LOL. Surely he gets 2 more transfer windows and time..
Have you watched us play this season? I’m up for giving him time if there is a suggestion that we might be improving but we’ve started badly and got worse. Our tactics and line ups seem to come out of a random number generator and we regularly sub several players at half time because the RNG hasn’t done the business once.
Quite the tasty start this
Lol at Palmer v Fathertimero there.
Yes but only a couple of times, and I also dgaf if you were even worse than you are now, firing a manager (who has done ok in previous jobs especially) this quickly is LOL.
It might be lol but it doesn’t make it the wrong choice. Maybe things will improve, but there isn’t much to suggest that they will based on the evidence available.
I believe he has already done a longer stint at West Ham than he did at Real Madrid.
I wish the Hojland shot had gone in just so they would have had to rule out a perfectly legit united goal
Also he's not even on the bench I think (presume ineligible), so wont even get to enjoy Sancho being subbed on.
pretty crazy that cleating someone directly across the knee isn't ruled dangerous
Solid weekend of results all round.
Think some managers turn up at a club on a big contract, realise they have inherited a dumpster fire and phone it in till they get sacked
Feels like this might be the case with Lopetegui, in which case it’s pointless to keep him on.
I'm not so sure that he isn't trying, it just feels like he is hitting random buttons because his patented formation doesn't seem to work too well with what we have and with stiffer competition than he is used to facing.
His CV features big names but isn't exactly brilliant. Coached a load of youth/B teams for Madrid/Spain, did well. Went to Porto, didn't win anything, fired after three years. Became Spain coach, duffed up teams in qualifying, got fired for hooking up with Madrid before the real tournament got underway. Fired at Madrid after less than two months. Big Cup qualification and Europa League win at Sevilla, where he appears to have done a fair job. Looks like he did a decent job at Wolves and then left due to lack of monies to spend on random chorizo salesmen. Arrived at West Ham, has performed really rather poorly.
Overall it's a patchy coaching record. He probably just isn't that great, and the West Ham job is hard because the chairman is a ****ing idiot that thinks he's a genius and is happy to interfere in the football side of things.
You can have Scott Parker if you want.
Bin Bag is available
That would require us having to pay up, which is likely to be a hard no from the chairman. However he does have some attractive features, such as a limited CV, which means that Sullivan can deliver him any number of sub-standard Will Salthouse clients instead of actual footballers during the transfer windows.
Yeah it was really bad, and I couldn't quite understand why VAR didn't send him off. Didn't Mike Dean say it was a red but then change his mind when VAR deemed it yellow only? Seems he is there only to agree with the final decision, bit like Peter Walton when it was BT Sports, which makes him completely pointless and a waste of subscription money. Palmer having to have a scan now due to that Martinez.
Edu resigned today. Not sure who we'll replace him with, but I hope he knows a couple of strikers.
Also what the hell at that challenge. Worst red card decision since the RvP one
That Martinez challenge seems intentional as well.
Anyone able to recommend any pubs on the Isle of Man? Weird ask I know but I'm over there in a couple of weeks and there's got to be a non-zero chance that someone here played a donkament or worked for Stars/similar there back in the day
HARRY WILSON!
Mad finish, Fulham deserved it, they are sneakily good this year.
