Having waited 44 years I, as I am sure the majority of City fans are, am aware of how our team have over the years been the best at producing the 'double barrel shotgun' and aiming squarely at our foot and shooting. For example I remember celebrating when we thought we had avoided relegation. All we needed was a point against Luton at home - need I carry on? This is City we are talking about, I will therefore air on the side of caution until 4.45pm next week.:)
I seem to remember I was quite dismissive about your boys 5 or 6 weeks ago when it seemed like they'd bottled the title, but I take it all back now. Thought they were hugely impressive today against a good Newcastle team and next week they will become worthy champions.Quote:

Its been a good season. As a manc its great to have this. I spent most of my youth in Sheffield and watch mates squabbling over promotion to the championship..
Wouldn't you agree that much of your big spending was as direct result of the initial income from when you floated on the stock market back in the early 90s?Quote:

Bloody hell - the depth of the old alcoholics barrel is quite astonishing.
At his press conference today he said . "29 years ago i took 11 players, the oldest 27 to defeat Real Madrid in a european final." "That's what QPR have to do."
He was also bleating that QPR players salary will be halved, if they go down.
Tick flaming Tock Baconface. :thunbdown:
I know exactly what you mean William. I keep getting this horrible feeling that QPR will ruin it for us with (ex-Blues) Shaun Wright-Phillips, Nedum Onuoha and Joey Barton in the team. :confused:Quote:

If I get the second half tonight I`ll let you know, but I`m staying off the cheese before bed tonight that's for sure.
That's the thing about dreams isn't it, they can be so realistic and then they'll throw in a little curve ball like that. I imagine in your dreams tonight you'll be playing at Maine Road or the local park or something.Quote:

Early goal for City and Sunderland go one up against United. It's all over.Quote:

89th minute and Scholes comes off the bench and scores with his first touch!
Surely City won't lose it now.
Mark Hughes hears the news from Sunderland and brings himself on at the Etihad with two of the three extra minutes already played.
"Wasn't it lucky I named myself on the bench" he thinks as the ball falls at his feet in front of an open goal and ...........................
you wake up!
Bloody hell Swoop...stay away from the cheddar :w00t:Quote:

The blues inside the ground will start getting agitated, and it'll get to the players on the pitch and they'll balls it up
Hopefully Joey Barton will score and Hughes will do a Mourinho at OT for Porto type run, and the whole ground will explode in utter rage at losing the league
:sneaky:
Been up since 6, can't sleep, on my third brew and feel like cracking open a can of Special Brew, I'm a bag of nerves, but I'm optimistic. We've got to do it.
I'm going to do a long slow ten miler up the canal to Tandle Hill and back in a minute - gotta kill some time.
One minute for ten miles!!!!!:w00t:Quote:

QPR 20-1 to win!! I'd like a tenner on that! Double up for a Sunderland win too!!! :w00t:
Coommmmeeeee on Citteeeeeeeee!!!
It's a shame QPR are so rubbish as it probably won't be a tense finish... I can't see City doing anything other than whipping them. At least it makes things interesting at the bottom as Bolton have a real chance of surviving if they can beat Stoke. I think 3rd/4th/5th will stay as it is with both Spurs and Arsenal winning and Newcastle drawing.
No, I wouldn't agree. The Edwards' personal wealth came from that.Quote:

What an end. Well played Man City, well attempted Man Utd. What a season!!!

Wow !
Well done City. Nail-biting finish and a great advert for the Premier League

cracking end to the season - you could never have guessed that 2 goals in injury time would seal it !
Bloody ell! What a finish, well done Man City:thumbup:
Good to see the old Man City players there for the presentation (for those of us old enough to remember them playing :rolleyes: ) Tony Book always had a good head of hair :cool:
Awesome finish!!! Unbelieveable!! I for one had given up on City!! There might be questions asked (...not by me!!) about the way QPR 'caved in' after they knew they'd stay up!! Their bench were busy celebrating when Citys third went in!! :w00t:
I guess Danburt will be stareing into space some where with a pint of Robinson's Mild in his hand!! :)

Fergie congratulated Manchester City after 20 seconds of his interview.
After saying, and I quote: "They had to do it against 10 men for half an hour and they got 5 minutes of injury time to help them."
Thanks Sir Alex!:rolleyes:

and Joey....obviously been the John Terry school of football, Doubt he'll play again before next Christmas...
And a final note for Danbert.... you can now move in to the modern era and get rid of that old clock...you know the one that goes Tick Tock :)
Well done City, the best team won in the end, even if you did keep us all on the edge of our seats until the very end.....
Just walked to the shops and Didsbury is rammed with City fans chanting "Who the f*ck are Man United?" I can hear it from my house off School Lane!
Car horns are going off left right and centre - proper party atmosphere!!!
Sounds like you need to move beyond the yuppy suburbs to the peak district. Only sounds of cows, sheep and lambs here going 'Moooo', 'Baaaa' (abit like all those 'fans' really then?)Quote:
