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.

Wembley was meaningless too since Liverpool failed to show up in the final.
Everton had a decent season.

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.

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.
Anfield 88, educate yourself mate.
Doesn't really sound like complaining, just stating the facts. He's trying to get across that it was really, really close.

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?

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.

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.

17th year in a row!
Well said!
Actually if Chelsea win, Arsenal will need to go through the qualifying stages which is kinda nuts.

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.

United were freakishly effective in the middle of the season without ever being great.
89 points is a lot.
The fuck are you talking about?

Really hope we can get M.Vila now. Can't believe how relieved I am.
Congrats to City too, you deserved it.

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?

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.

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.

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?
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.
The entire aim of the season wasn't to win trophies, or get into Europe, but to hope for Man Utd not to win the league. Liverpool fans, sad.
Let Everton & City enjoy their day, both great achievements for their clubs.
You are dense.

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.
Holy fuck :lol
Ha! Apparently so. McLeish is so horrible.

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

Hell yeah. Relieved as fuck now. Now we can rebuild knowing our income is secure and get onto negotiating RVP's contract.
What on earth are you talking about? Two finals, one trophy, and, albeit through the cup win, into Europe
