You can't say it wasn't deserved. Everton were the 4th best team in the league this season.

I'm more commenting on the fact that he's making such a big deal out of it to be honest. As if the entire aim of the season season wasn't to win trophies, or get into Europe, but to finish above Liverpool. Sad.

 

[The Friendly Monster]

Huh? There is no day to have. It's all meaningless.

I live with two Everton fans - Wembley was everything. Of course there will be sly digs thrown around about our spending and signing and rightfully so (happens every day) but at the end of the day Everton have had a nothing season.

Wembley was meaningless too since Liverpool failed to show up in the final.

Everton had a decent season.

 

[Oxx]

Backwards shirts lol

 

[PowderedToast]

I'm scared that I'll die before Liverpool win the title again

hahaha....

The Arsenal fans are cracking me up in this thread.

At the start of the year 3rd was out of the question for us but we've achieved it. Beating spurs is not what's important, maintaining CL football is very important, but this is a massive achievement given the nightmare that was our summer last year. Obviously we want more and no one is denying that but we've known for months that we're not winning silverware this season but it's not like Utd are finishing the season with anything.


I couldn't care less about the CL final anymore. We've got our spot for next season.

 

[flintstryker]

I find it interesting that after how ruthless this City team was suppose to be they still were only able to barely win the league over United.

 

[nemesun]

One of the most dramatic moments ever in sport.

The only other club football moment that compares is United winning the CL in '99.

Anfield 88, educate yourself mate.

 

[LegoArmo]

Complaining about stoppage time, Really?

Doesn't really sound like complaining, just stating the facts. He's trying to get across that it was really, really close.

 

[Awesome Animals]

I have no love for Manchester City but Congratulations to them and their fans. The gif Sunhi posted gave me chills Especially happy for ManC-GAF. Great group of lads we have

I couldn't watch the games. How exactly did it end?

 

[Scum]

Seriously though congrats city it's fully deserved and I hope everyone is big enough to admit that

I don't know why more people aren't focussing on my win though it may only be £60 but I beat the system

I hope you enjoy tonight guys

But Jeff. £60, man! £60!

 

[Vivalaraza]

Calm down about Fergie. Of course he's going to be bitter right now. It is killing him.

But he's spot on, congrats to City and whoever wins it deserves it.

United have won enough titles with people saying they didn't deserve it or got lucky or were helped. That's just football fans.

 

[TeegsD]

Forgot to turn the TV off downstairs and now I can hear the City celebrations from upstairs. Fuck. I'm just going to drown it out with some Alanis Morissette

 

[Sealda]

Mancini wearing an italian flag. Classy...

 

[Clegg]

Sir Alex Ferguson speaking after the game away at Sunderland: "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.

"But I congratulate City on winning the league. Anybody who wins it deserves it, because it's a long haul. At the end of our game our players didn't actually know the results. Now, they're really disappointed, I'm glad to say.

"There's no other way they should be. They conducted themselves brilliantly today. Their performance level was good. I'm pleased at our performance this season. 89 points would win most league. It wasn't our turn today."



Complaining about stoppage time, Really?

He's deflecting the blame from his players.

We blew an 8 point lead with 1 month left to go. He's not going to slate them publicly.

And he congratulated City. It's not like he said they didn't deserve it.

 

[Para bailar La Bomba]

Getting above Spurs matters. Like properly matters.

17th year in a row!

Well said!

Actually if Chelsea win, Arsenal will need to go through the qualifying stages which is kinda nuts.

 

[Willkiller]

REDEEMED!

 

[Phoenix Fang]

Hearing about City's backroom staff (and watching this on the telly) it's no wonder Ian Ayre's allegedly in the firing line.

Is he really on the firing line? I'm a bit surprised considering all the money he has brought in for the club.

"City had to do it against 10 men for half an hour and had 5 minutes of injury-time to help them.”

He did :lol

That Gif is brilliant

Old whiskey nose complaining about stoppage time. Not enough salt to heal this wound for him.

 

[The Friendly Monster]

I find it interesting that after how ruthless this City team was suppose to be they still were only able to barely win the league over United.

United were freakishly effective in the middle of the season without ever being great.

89 points is a lot.

 

[Inversive]

We've witnessed one of the greatest sporting spectacles in history today, GAF. Amazing day.

The fuck are you talking about?

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Really hope we can get M.Vila now. Can't believe how relieved I am.

Congrats to City too, you deserved it.

 

[Wessiej]

Holy balls guys, holy shit.

 

[elsk]

So Newcastle out of the CL, how many players are leaving?

 

[Plasma]

Quotes from Alex McLeish:

"It was an absolutely shocking, woeful display. Maybe some of the boys were thinking about their holidays already.

"That team needs a change and there will be change. That wasn't an Alex McLeish team today. We need to bring more quality into the squad."

So are Villa going to get even worse next season?

 

[xavi42]

Congrats to city, amazing end to the season.

 

[kharma45]

It doesn't even hurt like you'd think it would.

You just have to accept that. That is destiny.

It hurts more when you think about how badly we blew it, hopefully this gives United some impetus to actually sign players in the summer, and good ones at that.

 

[Oxx]

Poor Yaya looked pained.

 

[flyover]

Hate City, but they've got some players I love. Congrats to Kompany, Silva, Aguero, and Yaya. They were all massive this season.

 

[gutterboy44]

Gonna go wank in the shower and hit the library. Might run through the silent area shouting Aguero's name to antagonise all the wank arse United fans.

The expected class and dignity of a scouser. We lost the league but at least we weren't the laughing stock. Keep trying to justify the worst season your team has had since women could vote.

 

[Yurt]

Undefeated season. Grazie Ale <3

 

[MarshMellow96]

Is he really on the firing line? I'm a bit surprised considering all the money he has brought in for the club.

No idea if there's anything in it, but it's more to do with how the club conducted themselves during the Suarez episode. Feels like they're sacking everyone they can without going ahead with the one that matters.

Also..

Hey Jude?

 

[K1LLER7]

We can thank Barton for those last 5 minuets

Never rely on another team if your going for the title. Dropping 8 points and drawing the Everton game was the biggest blow.

Quality tweet by Ricky Gervais:

rickygervais: “@piersmorgan: God answered my prayer- #Arsenal #KeepTheFaith”

How do you know he heard your prayer?
He might have your phone tapped.
Haha

 

[Judderman]

Congrats City-GAF!

 

[ShogunX]

Wembley was meaningless too since Liverpool failed to show up in the final.

Everton had a decent season.

If you lived locallyand understood all the build up about the match you would think differently.

congratulations to City. Epic game to finish off the season.

Let Everton & City enjoy their day, both great achievements for their clubs.

You are dense.

 

[Sviatoslav]

Russian League season just ended. Spartak Moscow came second and qualified for the Champion's League. Lets see what Unai Emery can do with this sorry bunch next season.

 

[Kyoufu]

I hope City fans are ashamed for calling Dzeko shit.

He won the title for you.

 

[Salvadora]

Holy fuck :lol

Ha! Apparently so. McLeish is so horrible.

Congrats to City too, you deserved it.

Pipe dream mate, we're stuck with Song, and Pingpong.

 

[Zabojnik]

Just heard Ale speaking in an interview ... I'm in tears. This man is pure class in a human form.

It doesn't look like Bily did very well for them.

Oh please, a squad of that magnitude having trouble against a side with only 10 men on the pitch that was surely going to get relegated; I think Fergie has a right to call them out on that.

Result could be different if Barton wasn't such a tool and made a huge deal about the red card.

While City do deserve it this season, they seriously did need those extra 5 min.

Either way, still a bit pathetic from City for not being able to get a bigger goal margin against a side such as QPR.

And also, City fans are sooo weird... Seriously calling out Dzeko when he saved City's butt at death. lol

 

[Fry]

I hope Liam and Noel are happy enough to get Oasis back together.

You are dense.

U are Mad

 

[Clegg]

Does anyone think that Mancini was 90 seconds away from getting the sack?

 

[Lightning]

Really hope we can get M.Vila now. Can't believe how relieved I am.

Congrats to City too, you deserved it.

Hell yeah. Relieved as fuck now. Now we can rebuild knowing our income is secure and get onto negotiating RVP's contract.

Let Everton & City enjoy their day, both great achievements for their clubs.

What on earth are you talking about? Two finals, one trophy, and, albeit through the cup win, into Europe
