This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Yep, heckuva high note if so! by Irish2003

I'll certainly never rule out my Madrid when the CL anthem comes on, but City looks ruthless, especially when we're a bit shorthanded. Similarly, anything can happen in a one-off like the CL final or FA Cup rather than a best of 7 where the best team nearly always win, but they just seem a cut above, and have pulled off the EPL dominance so consistently that I figured Arsenal or Liverpool would have had to been nearly flawless.

You correctly bring up the double treble, and I was just reading an article about there their place in history would be after this year. I found Barca's peak teams to subjectively stand out just a tad more in recent history, but can see the case for City climbing that mountain too.
