Pep Guardiola has what he wanted after Premier League title win despite Man City grumbles

One national football phone-in was greeted by a Manchester City supporter after the final day of the season who had phoned in to express his disappointment at the Premier League champions.

Pep Guardiola's side may have just wrapped up their fifth title in six years, but the caller had wanted them to finish their season with a win. It was pointed out by the hosts that it isn't the end of the season because they are two games away from the Treble - something only done once before in English football - but that did not stop the fan worrying about if momentum had been lost in recent results.

It is true that City lost their winning streak and then their unbeaten streak this week at Brighton and Brentford, and while it takes some effort to ring in and complain about this Blues team when they stand on the verge of history there will be other fans worrying about momentum. Should City come up short against United this weekend, it is an easy thing to say that rhythm had been lost even if nobody can know how true it is.
