A big deal about finishing above Everton? Not around here mate. Everton have been average for years so finishing above them is hollow at best.
Like I said above the biggest game for decades between our two clubs ended with a Liverpool win. Not goign to stoop to stupid levels and start mentioning the finish above Liverpool trophy but.......yeah.
Shame all they care about is finishing above Spurs.

He can't even pick the best players out of a 25-man squad, never mind the rest of the world
'world' meaning any player within 50 miles of Liverpool

You can't say it wasn't deserved. Everton were the 4th best team in the league this season.
Well yeah, We actually finished above our rival.

'5 minutes of injury time to help them' - Fergie. Brilliant.

Congrats to City. Not even Fergies tears can cheer me up today, fuck football, we have now over the course of half a season managed to throw away everything we have worked on for 5 years and now a shitty team with no quality for champions league is going to play in the group stage, thanks to our own incompetence. I am so fucking angry and I want to beat the shit out of every Copenhagen player and manager, FUUUUUUCK
A great Football Manager & At. Madrid player. Congrats, dc!

This is so pathetic. Let them have their day like the United fans are letting the City fans have theirs.
No way did he say that.
this can be very useful, thanks

Getting above Spurs matters. Like properly matters.
Rather would have had United win the league, shame QPR couldn't hold on for a bit longer.

Indeed, if Liverpool had won and Everton not and the league table ended up with Liverpool ahead of Everton, what would have changed? Liverpool would still have been 7th and it would still have been a dire league season.
No no no, you've had enough fun this season already

Saw a post-game interview with Kompany. Really happy for him. Can't say the same for the captain on the other team in the match today.
He interviews so well. Just has that little bit of character that most players miss.

we've had a bad season, but you can only blame the big time charlie spurs fans running their mouths off about challenging for the title and being better than arsenal
they created an immense momentum and inspiration when we had none, thanks again

It doesn't even hurt like you'd think it would.
You just have to accept that. That is destiny.

"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
yeah, also, remembering all the doom and gloom last year in 17th place and losing 8-2 and here we are in 3rd, I really don't know what to say. I've written off Arsenal several times but we got the result we needed.

Hilarious tears on MUTV
holy fuck
holy fuck
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.
Your grandkids will be grandparents by the time Liverpool win their 19th title.

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

I hope you enjoy tonight guys

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?

Not like any non-delusional Spurs fan ever thought we could challenge for the league.
I still think we're better than you. It's not like us finishing behind you is anything new for me to witness, it'll just make it sweeter when we finally do it.
