Congratulations to Man City

Thought after 44 years Man City's league triumph deserves a thread of its own. Top scorers, played the best football and generally tight at the back. They thoroughly deserved the title and look to be getting stronger. Good to see a change happening.

Congrats City.

Paully D · 13-05-2012 4:22pm

Well done to them. I know exactly how much their fans have been through over the last 20 years so I'm glad they've won it.

Enjoy

Team on top after 38 games deserves it. They made it as cruel as possible in the process for me too. Pretty much perfect from their point of view.

I know 2 city fans and I'm happy for them, but equally absolutely sick to the stomach with how it played out.

Congratulations City on this season, game on for next season.

Lesson on never giving up on your team today; bet those who left the stadium early regret it now.

A finish better than that of 1989?

I think so. Well done City.

MUSEIST · 13-05-2012 4:24pm

Well done city, the table doesn't lie. Deserved

monkeysnapper · 13-05-2012 4:25pm

Yeh as a united fan i hate to see them win the leaugue but you have to say they deserve the win ' and to score 2 goals in time added on ' but i feel its about time another team won lge other than united' chelsea' ars' blackburn ' oh dear

ROCKMAN · 13-05-2012 4:25pm

well done City,

Warper · 13-05-2012 4:26pm

I am sure that most people were thinking the worst, the most common term being flung about were "duds". God they done it the hard way but that is even sweeter for them. Despite all their different personalities they managed to do it. Interesting to see what they do in the summer. Lot of dead-weight there and good few coming back from loans - Santa Cruz, Adebayor etc..

Daemos · 13-05-2012 4:26pm

Well done City. Whatever doubts I had about whether they deserved it or not, they certainly earned it today

Iago · 13-05-2012 4:27pm

Congrats to City and their fans. Best team over the course of the year, and won it like Champions.

I'm a little broken inside.

13-05-2012 4:28pm

Deserved

MickySticks · 13-05-2012 4:28pm

Congrats to Sheikh Mansour

dahat · 13-05-2012 4:28pm

Credit to them for keeping going and getting the result they needed.....that 4-4 with Everton will haunt me forever.........

Oranage2 · 13-05-2012 4:29pm

Well deserved by City, the team on top deserve it even with all their injuries, melt downs and just plain crazy they managed to be the best team this season.

cson · 13-05-2012 4:30pm

Fergie you old dog you...

"Nobody expected that. Everybody expected City to win, but they did it against 10 men for half an hour and with five extra minutes to help them."

The ironing!

To be fair to him, he was pretty gracious about it in his comments following that.

Mr Alan · 13-05-2012 4:30pm

Amazing game. It's not often something lives up to Sky's hyperbole but that game today did, and then some.

They'll find it hard to get rid of players because of wages. Redknapp has already said that they can't afford Adebayor's wages. They'll be loaning him out again, probably.

Madam · 13-05-2012 4:32pm

Congratulations to Man City they do so deserve it - I always like to see the underdogs(not anymore though:)) do well.

Diabhal Beag · 13-05-2012 4:32pm

The Man City pitch is going to be hungover at the start of next season at this rate!

Liverpool piping Fulham for 8th on goal difference, Fulham supporters can feel Uniteds pain.

Jayob10 · 13-05-2012 4:39pm

happy for the true City fans who followed their club through thick and thin in the 3rd tier not so long ago, brilliant day for them

The bandwagon jumpers can f*ck right off though :cool:

counterlock · 13-05-2012 4:39pm

Congrats city and Xavi6, we'll bounce back next year

bizmark · 13-05-2012 4:40pm

Always amusing seeing all the bitter little football fans at the end of the seasons snipping like kids

Man city fans regardless of when you decided to watch and support a very entertaining and deserving team should enjoy this doubt it will be the last one

Don't worry. I'd imagine he rarely is if that's what he has for a pasttime.

recylingbin · 13-05-2012 4:45pm

Not only congratulations to them, but thank God for them. To see a team as poor as that man u team win a league would have devalued the english league and, indeed, football.

HalloweenJack · 13-05-2012 4:46pm

Delighted they won it and in the best possible style.

Equally delighted for Fergie.

Nuri Sahin · 13-05-2012 4:48pm

Gratz City, just won me a ridiculous amount of money. Jesus, I was furious before that 3rd goal

Probably not the right thread but meh. Fair play to Ferguson. Pretty classy interview just there.

Level on points. Not a poor team at all.

You can add that comment to the recyclingbin!

PS , well done city! Dramatic way to do it. Agony to ecstasy in the space of 5 mins

cgpg5 · 13-05-2012 4:56pm

Fair play to City delighted for them. No doubt I'll dislike them and get fed up of them in the future

but nice to see a new team coming and they played some lovely football. Overall deserved the league and credit where it's due.

uncleoswald · 13-05-2012 5:01pm

Gutting way to lose, but City deserve it for the season they had. Congratulations.

inmyday · 13-05-2012 5:05pm

Im delighted for city, but I really wanna know did aguero get a yellow card or not for taking the jersey off?

-Ade- is right, ferguson was very classy in the interview. Fair play to him, even after the city defeat a few weeks ago when tempers were lost.

Cantona's Collars · 13-05-2012 5:06pm

Gutted over losing it the way we did,but I feel we threw it away with the results against Wigan & Everton.I expected City to win the title after beating us but never to win it the way they did today.
My heart sank when I saw 5 minutes added time go up,I just had a bad feeling & that bad feeling came to pass.

Xavi6 · 13-05-2012 5:09pm

What a moment, what composure

Jesus Wept · 13-05-2012 5:12pm

Well done City, deserved.
It's our year next year.

It's funny that you'd feel that but I remember them showing the run in and ManU supposedly had the easier path than City. However Wigan, ManC and Everton were pretty much the 3x form teams in the run in. To get them all was unfortunate.

I think the best run in you could possibly get would be about 6 midtable teams with nothing much to play for. This idea that relegation zone teams at the end of a campaign are going to be easy is rarely the case.

abelard · 13-05-2012 5:15pm

Well done city, welcome to the club (of teams who have won since football was invented 20 years back

)

Rezident · 13-05-2012 5:35pm

Congrats to city they definitely deserved to win the league, they have the best team and squad. But it does make me a bit sad that winning the premiership is becoming whoever has the richest billionaire owner. What chance do other teams have? Some Financial Fair Play would even the playing field. Epic finish by City today though.

This is annoying me tbh. Get with the times

ShaneScouse · 13-05-2012 5:45pm

Big grats to them, My god the drama in the pub watching it. I was sure Utd had done it again and was sitting there in a massive sulk so was half the pub. Then the 2 last minute goals and the amount of noise and celebrations, took about 2 years off me life with the stress watching that game.

Brilliant
