They wobbled a bit in Spring time, but the title is fully deserved!

What are you on about? The title is not decided yet by any means.

Ya City's title alright as it was always going to be.
City Will win the league , Liverpool the FA cup and League Cup and Chelsea probably the CL.
These are the only 3 clubs that can look at the season with any degree of satisfaction and success and I reckon it is these 3 clubs who will be back vying for the honours next year as well.
Honorable mention to Newcastle.
The rest of the pack need to try harder and get some decent players in to catch up to the new big three.

You can add Swansea and Norwich to that, what they've achieved is up there with any domestic titles.
Likewise Wigan, so long as they don't make a balls of it now, any season they stay up is a successful season. If Spurs make the CL, I'm sure it will have been a relatively successful season for them on the whole.

I suppose I am been a bit unfair on Utd as well , comparaing them to some of the bigger and more successful teams.
When you get knocked out the CL by the mighty Basel and then embarrassed in the Europa cup by a mid table Spanish outfit , knocked out of the league cup by Crystal Palace, and then lose away to Wigan in the league and lose a two goal lead at home to Everton and fail to get a shot on target or even create one chance in the crunch league game, I suppose at that stage you have to accept that you are not really one of the big boys anymore and getting in the top 4 is an over achievement , so well done Utd.

If Bayern win the Cl then Spurs should make it in through 4th spot. If Chelsea win, then its hard to see Spurs catching Arsenal for 3rd.
Its a big end of season for Spurs. No CL and you can be guaranteed Modric will be a wanted man, expect a few attempts to turn Bale's head also. Add to that they need to replace Adabayor (ehich will be harder to entice a new striker without CL football) and it could be a big summer at White Hart Lane.

You're hard at it since last night Blanco but not many seem to be biting! I think you might be losing your touch.

Man City still have to get a win at Newcastle which won't be easy on Sunday. Its not over yet. United will be sickened to let an 8 point lead slip though. They were very negative last night and deserved to lose.

This is a bit childish and embarrassing to be honest, it is certainly detracting from this forum, certain posters are best ignored.

That was very inconsiderate of Muamba to almost die in White Hart Lane.He should have waited to do that until he was playing against another team

Never in doubt , could you imagine the current Utd team been able to go tho Newcastle and get a win if they had to, the best team have won the league , there is no doubt about that.

This season will go down as the ultimate bottle job by Manure.
An 8 point lead thrown away in the last couple of weeks.
It's well past time for old whiskey nose to move on!

8 points with a game in hand so they only threw away 5 and three of those to city. Im a pool fan and delighted that city have pipped them but saying they threw away an 8 piont lead is not really right
btw Quinn couldn't hide his delight and why not, the only thing that annoyed me was his constant use of the phrase ''ever so well'' (Jamie Redknapps favourite saying). Suppose Quinn has been in England a long time to be fair to him..

The dropped 8 points. Losing to Wigan, drawing with Everton and losing to City = 8 points.
That is a bottle job of Jean Van De Velde proportions/

Well done City, fully deserved. Mancini deserves a lot of credit for the way he managed the squad, including swallowing his pride and bringing back Tevez. Two substitutions today were key, De Jong allowing Ya Ya to go forward and win the game, and the super block by Richards on the Amoebi shot that was likely heading into the net.

they dropped 8 points but not an 8 point lead . 8 points ahead while city had a game to play, city won it so its down to 5 - nothing united did to cause that....

You really are delusional if you don't think Utd bottled this one , after the Arsenal V City game everyone thought Utd had it wrapped up but unlike me they dis not not factor in the dose of Sh1ts that the United team would collectively get once any pressure was applied.
Are you saying surrendering a two goal lead in the last 10 min at home against Everton is not bottleing it?
This was the classic bottle job.
It was easy for Rooney , Ferdinand etc to tweet about been able to handle the pressure , different though when you have to do more than talk about it.

Ease up there Blanco. I never said anything about united not bottling it, have a read of my posts again. I merely pointed out that to say they blew an 8 point lead is not really right. If a team plays at 3pm and wins and their rivals play at 5pm and win has the 3pm team blown a 3 point lead over them? That's all i said. No doubt united have blown a golden opportunity to win the league and with their experience they would be the team you'd would least expect to do that. Nobody is arguing that they didn't blow it, just a proper reflection of what happened is what im arguing for.

That Balotelli stamp on Scott Parker's head might be the crucial bit of luck that got the City to this position.
