Man City champions, Everton and Hull City in Europe. It's a sad sad season for the Premier League.

Only saving grace is Man Utd aren't even in Europe next year. ;)

That confident? Spurs lose to Villa and they beat Southampton and they are in.

Awesome player. But needs to actually show up and prove himself in Europe before being touted as the best in the world.

Not really. I only posted it to get a reaction. :)

Anyway, the 6th placed team will only qualify thanks to City winning the League Cup. If Sunderland won, then it would only be 5th place that got a Europa League placing. So there will be even MORE Man Utd fans cheering for City this season.

Rivalry, my ar$e. ;-)

It might be for the best if they actually are in the Europa League. It will damage their league campaign and hopefully they go out early in the knock out stages so it will be a waste of their time as well.

Either way, Van Gaal will have alienated most of the squad by then, hopefully. ;-)

Well, you can never argue over a 38 game season. When city are crowned champions on sunday, they will be worthy winners.

Fair play to pellegrini, seems a chilled guy, has just quietly gone about his business without trying to ruffle any feathers.

Man City have the best squad in the Premier League. They've managed to just take a title that they should have walked because other clubs did the job they couldn't.

Pellegrini is a boring tvvat that for some reason people are sucking up to. He's had an easy ride because Moyes and Mourinho have taken the headlines. We'll see how chilled he is when there's real pressure on. After the defeats to Barca and Chelsea he turned into a right sad git but that behaviour is excused because he's so utterly dull. Seeing Audrey Roberts lift the trophy is a billion times more palatable than seeing the scousers do it but he's still got a lot to do before he's even proved that Citeh were right to sack Mancini.

Now while I am anti-FFP and hope that Citeh and PSG do fight it so hard it dies, the fact does remain that we are operating under FFP rules this season. Manchester City have blatantly cheated FFP spending rules and that has possibly helped them win the league this season. Well done Platini, you bent tvvat.

:lol: Typically bullish. Only lord god hose mourinho could find some sort of negative or criticism from winning a title. A title is a title is a title. For all city's money they still rely quite alot on the trio of kompany aguero and toure. They are their power players, but they have only started together 6 times this season. When they have started together, city have destroyed teams. Had they started more games together, city would probably have won the title with abit more to spare.

Your argument about other clubs doing city's job for them is f*cking ridiculous. Chelsea beat both their title rivals home and away and they will probably finish 3rd. How are stupid are they? They couldn't beat 2 teams battling relegation in the run in, when they had the ability to beat their rivals......Chelsea are probably as guilty of throwing it away as liverpool. For beating your rivals, you don't get a title. You get one for accumulating more points and city have done that, as well as amassing a superior goal difference. When the pressure has been city have been able to negotiate the banana skins that chelsea and liverpool haven't.

The pressure has been on pellegrini all season. They've been favourites from day one, the fans and owners didn't hope for a title, they expected and demanded one. All rodgers and mourinho have done all season is cop out and claim they won't win it, or they aren't aiming to win. Rodgers has talked solely of getting CL, even when liverpool were 3 games away and mourinho has talked only of development. Wenger was probably half right, fear to fail. So they've talked themselves into a situation where they can't fail.

Well done city.
