Can Man City's dominance be separated from their 115 charges?
Manchester City have created English football history by winning a fourth consecutive top flight title.
But do Pep Guardiola’s side get the recognition their achievements deserve?
Does future dominance depend on how long the manager stays and is the whole debate overshadowed by the 115 charges they face for alleged breaches of Premier League financial regulations?

Betting advertising masquerading as a podcast
I just listened to the first podcast of the new Premier League season and had to stop half way through.
Every mention of a player, fixture or result is followed up by the odds (er sorry “price”) of a related bet (er sorry “market”) offered by Bet 365. For example: “What do you think of Chelsea signing Lukaku?” asks the anchor man. “We’ll, we at Bet 365 are offering 3:1 on Lukaku being this season’s top scorer” comes the answer. And so it goes, on and on and on, non-stop throughout the podcast.
This isn’t journalism, it’s advertising, pure and simple. The Athletic should be ashamed for publishing this rubbish.
Don’t bother. It’s a complete waste of your time, unless you enjoy listening to non-stop betting advertising.
