On the the Forbes money list, Manchester City are now ranked the fifth most valuable club in the world.
Just 24 years ago, City were 2-0 down against Gillingham in what is now the League One play-off final.
If they win the FA Cup this weekend and go on to clinch the Treble, it can only accelerate the speed with which they will overtake Real Madrid, Manchester United, Barcelona and Liverpool to reach No.1 on the planet.
After 140 years, United and City finally meet in the Cup final at Wembley this weekend. Most pundits seem to think City will come out on top – and I'm one of them. I'm going for Pep Guradiola's men to win 3-1.
It's right that Pep was named manager of the season at the League Managers Association awards in midweek.
City have won the title five years out of six, and at this stage I can't see anyone stopping them becoming the first club ever to win four in a row next season.
When United beat City 2-1 at Old Trafford in January, thanks to Marcus Rashford's hugely controversial winner, Erik ten Hag was still in with a chance of winning four trophies.
If he goes on to add the FA Cup to the League Cup - which ended the club's six-year trophy drought – two cups and a top-four finish would represent a successful season for United. That's two more trophies than Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham combined.
But on the big stage, with the Treble on the line, can Ten Hag find a way to stop City and Erling Haaland?
I'm not sure – the Norwegian's 52 goals this season includes a hat-trick in last October's Manchester derby at the Etihad.
And even if United manage to keep Haaland quiet, Jack Grealish, Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva or Riyad Mahrez will come out to play instead.
If both teams play to their maximum level, City have to be favourites. If United sit deep, and use Marcus Rashford's pace to hit City on the break, they can cause problems.
In Manchester derbies, Rashford has finished on the winning side six times in 13 starts, so it's not been one-way traffic by any means.
Good luck to all 90,000 fans trying to reach the national stadium with a rail strike wiping out train services.
Without wishing to get too political, if football supporters have been being targeted by industrial action, the unions have picked the wrong day.
But I can't see City's bid for the Treble hitting the buffers.
Good luck Hammers
I was five years old the last time West Ham lifted a trophy back in 1980.
It's hight time they brought out the silver polish again, and they are 90 minutes away from winning the Europa Conference League.
If they beat Fiorentina in Wednesday's final, Declan Rice will follow Bobby Moore and Billy Bonds into Hammers legend as the club's only captains to put their trophy lift into practice.
And manager David Moyes will follow Ron Greenwood and John Lyall into the history books among West Ham's greatest managers.
Moyes turned 60 in April, and after a lifetime in football one of the game's good guys deserves to decorate his career with a major prize. I really, really hope he does it.
Foxes should have turned to O'Neill
Two months ago, when Leicester sacked Brendan Rodgers were managerless for two winnable home games, I warned the Foxes were dicing with danger.
Nothing personal against Adam Sadler and Mike Stowell, the coaches who held the fort for those two games against Aston Villa and Bournemouth.
But Leicester lost both matches, and the nine points from eight games collected by Rodgers' successor Dean Smith wasn't enough to save my old club from relegation.
I honestly believe Leicester missed a trick by not sending an SOS to Martin O'Neill, the manager who signed me back in the day when the club played round the corner at Filbert Street.
Not only do I think O'Neill would have answered the call, but I suspect he would have taken points from those two wasted games against Villa and Bournemouth – which might have kept Leicester up.
As it is, they have gone from champions to the Championship in seven years, and that makes me terribly sad.
