I don't see that happening again this coming season. City and Liverpool were miles ahead of everyone that year, I'd be surprised to see City match last season's total next year, let alone a team hitting 90+ points.

I hope not but you can never rule out Pep teams especially going on mental winning runs. Even last year with a 'standard' title winning points total they broke the record for consecutive wins in all comps.

DH1988 1,348 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Not sure where to put this but with Rom returning, do you guys think that we will show more patience in future? Or is that why the Baker’s of this world are still hanging around? Think of the players we’ve sold in recent years who have gone on to be class.

We will be huge favourites anyway. We beat the best teams of England and Spain for winning CL, the best of Africa, Asia and Americas should be a walk in the park if we manage to replicate the standard we set there. On normal form we should outlast all of them, the problem as I repeatedly stated is the jetlag which also was an issue in 2012. But this time we have a way younger and deeper squad so I think we should be able to atleast do better. One more challenge will be the shitty fifa refs who usually favour the underdogs. In 2012 they chalked off a perfectly legit Torres goal and made some dubious pen decisions. 19 minutes ago, NikkiCFC said: https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2021/09/23/uae-in-talks-to-host-2021-fifa-club-world-cup/ UAE in talks to host 2021 Fifa Club World Cup Fifa consider options for delayed event after Japan withdrew citing concerns regarding Covid-19 It could be postponed to February maybe when we have winter break. @Magic Lamps happy? Slightly more relaxed. Middle east is at least closer for us than it is for the Brazilians, albeit the KSA/Egypt teams basically have home advantage.

Vesper 30,219 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 It is down to either Flamengo or Palmeiras who will be our main FIFA World Club Cup opponents (unless FIFA fucks us and lets Brasil host and have two teams in the comp, which means the best team in South America, Atletico Mineiro (whom Palmeiras upset two days ago) will also likely get in.)
