Can't believe I'm having this debate. Sterling scores a few tap ins and now he's better than Pires was. Next thing will be Lukaku being better than Bergkamp and Cantona.
Can't call it yet but they are well on the way to becoming the best ever PL side.
the 2008 united side are behind Arsenal btw
I also think this City side would beat the 2008 United side
The 07/08 Utd side gets a tad overrated imo because of Ronaldo's season. He was unstoppable.
They weren't exactly steam rolling PL sides that season.
You've got to be thick to think less than half a season is enough to crown any team the best ever.

They really, really would.
That invincible side lost 7 games against opposition worse than city and played for draws in the pl in the last third.
This city would batter them.
Only players getting in this city side would be henry viera and Cole.
Apart from that city walk all over that arsenal side.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You really don’t think Campbell would get in the city side? Or Bergkamp? Or pires?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
City would press the life out of that United 08 side.
Remember what Barca did to your similar 09 side.
Only Chelsea could compete with that vintage.
And before you say anything, the Barca 08 side you beat were falling apart under FR
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This City side are not on the same level as that Barca side

Sterling over Pires? Haha what a pillock.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sterling isn't half way through his season and has already betterred pires best goal tally.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When someone is so desperate they lie
Nearly as bad as when you said Arsenal 04 couldn't be considered as they lost 7 games, then named United 00 up there despite them losing 8
Sterling better than Pires.

Did you win the league by 18 points. If not then keep quiet chief. We could of lost double that, we still won the league by the most comfortable margin of all time.

Sterling crestes more, scores more.
He plays essentially the same position (opposite winfs, but is far more effective at the role) and younger.
Oh stretty, the football knowledge of an infant. Absolutely clueless it is laughable. And lying and contradicting yourself to boot.
(Sterling hasn't scored more already than Pires in his best season - there is your lie)
(18 points says more about the rest of the PL, but that wasn't your point. Your point was clearly a team that loses 7 games in one season would get battered by this City team. United in 99/00 lost 8 times...)

Your best side ever and they weren't even that good, i suppose i can see why you would exaggerate, they are best you've had and looking at you lot now is embarrassing.

Oh apologies, his best was 19, sterling will catch that in the next ten games, save for injury.
And that was prime Pires

That wasn't your point at all. You said Arsenal would get battered because they lost 7 times in that season
They would get battered. And as i also said they lost too teams far worse than this city side.
The fact we lost 8 is irrelevent to the fact we were a lot better than the invincibles
domination doesnt lie.

Salah > Pires
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's not remotely debatable.
United got battered in the 99/00 seasons by teams far worse than the current City side. If that Chelsea side could beat United 5-0 then this City side would probably hit double figures past them.
Nah, bad games happen, on the whole our 00 squad is giving this city far more of a game than arsenal side in history could muster.
Bad games happened more often for that United side than it did for the Arsenal side.
Yeah, we also gained a higher points total and didn't play for draws and gained ahigh points gap between first and second.
Chelsea the following season were superior to you.
Some of the comments here about Pires are hilarious. When these kids put in five seasons of quality performance, then they can be compared to him. It'd not even a debate.
Gained a higher points total - 1 point, with us easing up with the title won.
Higher points gap - because the competition was weaker that season.
As for the claim we played "for draws" - Shows you have no idea what you are talking about.

City, the greatest team in PL history?
