Not buying into the whole love in with Man City - when you spend that amount of money you'd expect them to play decent football and have the best attack in the league etc etc. But it's the same media that howls every two years about how the Premier League and all these big money continental signings is destroying the England football teams' hopes are the same ones drooling endlessly about Man City's new found status as the greatest football side in English footballing history.
And yeah for sure - old Pep is doing a grand job but let's not kid ourselves into believing that he's 'developed' them into this position when all he did to cure their ills from previous seasons was to pretty much buy an entirely new defence at the expense of hundreds of millions of pounds. Hard to get too romantic over them isn't it even if it is easy on the eye. Although in fairness, even when Leicester won, it was hard to get romantic given the nature of the Premier League today.
The only thing going for Man City is the fact they're not Man Utd. Which, in fairness, is a pretty big thing.
