first English team to win the treble in over 20 years. Wished we could have done it before them but it didn't seem likely considering our downfall over the last decade.

It’s not just corruption and being owned by a state, it’s also luck.. how on earth did they fluke their way through those big two Inter chances. 

Football is just horrible on days like this. And just like that City have wiped away anything we had over them, a treble is a once in a generation feat and they’ll always laud it over everyone. Lukaku the absolute donkey, don’t even get me started.

greatest story in club history'

Is BT taking the piss? Are they genuinely on the wind up? They actually f**king said that. 

 
Corruption aside, they have spent their time and money much better than us. We had a headstart of years with Roman and they totally blew past us because they knew what they wanted - Pep, and they prepared everything for him and backed him. We muddled our way through about 10 different managers in the same timeframe never commiting to any particular playstyle or anything.

Nothing will beat Utds lucky treble.

 
Puke that citeh have finally won the cl (and treble), but it was going to happen eventually. Inter only started trying to score after they fell behind and showed that citeh aren’t superhuman, but it was too little too late.

It doesn’t surprise me, commentary was so biased, I remember the ITV coverage of the 2012 final where they had to remain ‘neutral’ 🤦‍♂️


 
Lukaku an actual detriment to the team. 

City were there for the taking, shame. 

Hopefully they get stripped of everything. But I wouldn't hold my breath...

I’m curious as to how much control City group has on English media. It’s so weird.

In regards to drama and the general ‘storyline’, I agree but the media will make sure every club in England understands that Manchester City cannot and never will be topped. Nothing we do from now can top this, a treble (speaking sincerely) is a once in a generation feat, truly.

We are living in a dystopian nightmare over here, they have a lot of influence and geopolitically.. they’re not going anywhere. 

The dystopia also stems from non-City fans being ‘compliant’ to it all, why do we give them that? When we never had it, even during Mourinho’s first spell, we were the enemy.

 
Nothing against City fans though it feels a bit wrong given the scandal behind the scene with UEFA.

On another note, I think it was here that someone was saying that Fergie made all his own luck I just looked back to 90's, I think it is fair to say looking at the bolded players below they were buying the top talent from other clubs at that time.

I dont mind City winning the treble as they are a level above anyone else and didn't need luck in all 3 competitions. Fans have had to put up with Utd's treble for years but any fan watching at the time knew they was very lucky in all 3 competitions. I'm just hoping it shuts the glory hunter fans up for good now.

 
Such a shame the cheats have won the ultimate prize.

Will Pep f**k off now and leave?

Well he is on record recently as saying win or lose he will at City next season.

So I think he stays next season and then moves on. 

 
Nobody is going to respect City's achievements* when they have 115 charges hanging over their heads. It has felt like the top end of football has been on hold since they got charged.
