So, let me get this straight... if you spend a load of money to win the league, but you don't do it all at once, that's fine, but if you do it all at once to catch up with the main team in the league, that's a disgrace?
Those grapes are well sour, aren't they lads!

haha no I think City deserved to win the league, I was replying to the picture of the two teams. You can't compare them like that. |

My drunken bitterness of yesterday is gone.
Fair play to City, they didnt give up and came out on top of the most dramatic final day I've ever withnessed! The emotions where really run threw the mill and I'm actually happy for Mancini.
Roll on the Euro's now, should be a cracking tournament  |

next season ,united champions ,arsenal second ,city third ..liverpool relegated!
MAYBE GORDON, BUT WE'LL GIVE IT TO THEM OVER THE FACT THEY BET UNITED TWICE INSTEAD. 
If United had kept the score down to 2-1 in the game they were hammered in, then United would be champions now. |

| Yep. No sour grapes here, I was just pointing out that those line-ups were wrong. Whether or not the title was bought doesn't matter, what matters is winning it really, and City did, and did so because they were the best team in the league, the table never lies. |

| Well yeah, the lineups aren't 100% probably but the point of the graphic was to show that, you know, both teams like to spend money. |

| Out of curiosity (not inciting an argument here) how many of City's starting 11 have been at the club for more than two seasons? |

United had eight players out there in the starting line-up yesterday that have been there for more than two years (Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, Valencia, Rooney), including three former youth team players (Giggs, Scholes and Evans). Three were brought in last summer (De Gea, Jones and Young). When Nani came on for Young, that figure went up to nine.
Actually I think that this makes City's achievement all the better, as United's players have had a longer time playing together.
So, McLeish is a goner. I'd imagine Villa fans must be delighted after he came so close to relegating two Brum clubs two years on the trot. Will it be Lambert or Rogers to replace him? Or perhaps Mick McCarthy so that they can continue in their downscaling?
Also, Wolves have brought in 'a proven winner' to manage them. Strange that, last I checked he had just gotten FC Koln relegated from the Bundesliga... |

| As I said over a month ago McLeish will go to West Brom and attempt to take a third midlands team down in 3 years. A pity he just failed with Villa |
