With Manchester City 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League table having dominated all before them - including their two closest title rivals Chelsea and Liverpool - critics have begun suggesting the club is set to rule English football for years to come, and that this represents a problem for the game.
Putting aside the debate about whether City are bad for football or not, it's interesting that so many people think the Blues are set for a thousand-year rule.
Certainly at the moment, with Pep Guardiola at the helm of a club whose whole infrastructure is tailored towards his needs and vision, it is hard to see anyone knocking City off their perch.
