Where do I begin?!
Well, unless QPR can pull off one of the greatest upsets in modern day football, or United better City's result by 8 more goals, then congratulations to Yaya Toure for single handedly winning City another title. If both Manchester teams win on the final day, this will be the first time the EPL title has been won by GD. Fergie will rue all those games we failed to finish off teams - the loss to Blackburn at home and more recently the Everton game where Rafael single handedly lost us the title. But Fergie takes a share of the blame for failing to get the line up right on the biggest game of his career - how Valencia, our man of the match for most of the season, failed to start in a game where Park, who had only 3 games this season started, is beyond me. Epic fail by the gaffer!
Kompany was resolute against Papisse - he totally neutralized the phenomenal striker.And Yay's first goal was placement perfection. Aguerro had as off a game as Rooney did later on. Frankly after Yaya scored the 2nd I lost all interest in the Utd match.@Marty, I agree with you, removing Nasri for De Jong so that Yay could roam forward worked magic.
I guess at the end I can't complain much - man for man City were head and shoulders above Utd but our team performances kept us in it. I guess if we had won Fergie would have convinced himself again that he does not need to buy with Cleverley back in form, Anderson, Fletcher and Vidic all in the wings, but these are players who will reclaim the title next year but cannot win the Champions League!I see the title staying in Manchester for a few years to come. We'll be back next year as always, just like we did after Wenger, Roman & Jose and after Ancelotti, and we never give away the title that easily - 1 point separated us with Ancelotti's Chelsea and GD will separate us from Sheikh Mansour's outfit.
Arsenal players have taken up Man Utd's habits - making it hard for themselves. Those last matches can go either way, but I agree, Fulham and Everton are harder fixtures on paper for Spurs and the Toons respectively but Spurs will be at home and that could count for something. Of course it won't matter if Arsenal win. Pole sana to Sagna, broke his fibula on the same leg he broke last season. He claims it was deliberate from Bradley Johnson. Very unfortunate.
I wish Villa could have been relegated for their brancd of football, they were awful under McLeish (which team isn't?) and he should just go to where he belongs - the Championship,along with Steve Kean who sees the positives in every bad Blackburn performance. Those Venky's should have stuck to chicken, at least Tony Fernandez looks like he knows what he's doing at QPR.
The Milan derby lived up to it's billing, end to end stuff with all the drama that comes with it. Milito scored a hattrick, the first since 1960 in the Milan derby. Juve won the scudetto yesterday after AC fell to the Milito hattrick and a Maicon screamer - Ibra's brace proved not enough.Juve are now a game away from becoming the 2nd Italian invincibles - AC went unbeaten in the 89/90 campaign I think.
And congrats to Chelsea, I really wanted Di Matteo to get a trophy,and it looks like Chelsea have become FA experts - 4 cups in 6 seasons!But you know which club has won them the most:)
BEER IS LIVING PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY!
