i) In 1957 the Busby Babes set a scoring record, in top-flight English football, of 142 goals in a single season across all competitions 👏 RESPECT.
That record stood for 57 years, until in 2014 Manuel Pellegrini, quietly with a charming smile, absolutely smashed it with 156👍🏽
ii) Pep Guardiola has now surpassed it in each of the last 3 seasons.
So, the top 4 scoring teams of all time EVER, are Man City & 3 of those are Pep's teams... 🦈🎗 #RESPECT

2019 - 169 Man City
2014 - 156 Man City
2020 - 149 Man City
2018 - 143 Man City
1957 - 142 Man U
iii) That table includes all the great teams... since Blackburn & Villa in the 1800's, the Invincibles of Arsenal & PNE, Utd's Treble, Jose's Chelsea, Shankly, Clough, 26 years of Ferguson... They're all looking up to Manchester City & Pep Guardiola... simply the BEST EVER 🎗
iv) A little perspective:
65 different clubs have played top-flight English football, during the 121 years.
Of all those teams, the 4 highest scoring seasons were all produced by 1 club.
And 3 of those 4 teams were managed by @PepTeam 🦈🎗
UNBELIEVABLE, BUT TRUE.
