I think they were going to offer him a new 3-year deal regardless of today's events.

Yeah well in the build-up you didn't know that you wouldn't turn up for the final.
If you weren't being such a child then you could admit that you weren't the best team on Merseyside this year and let the Everton fans enjoy it.
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHA
Enjoy your trophyless season and I'll enjoy my showery wank
Gaf's delivering in spades today.
"Give Everton their day"
lol, what?
I don't think Bily even made Russia's euro team.

Well he was hurt at first but even later he wasn't doing much. Wasn't even called up for the national team.

Always gracious in defeat, Manure fans are.
He should get it anyway.

Yep. There is no time to sit and moan. Next season starts now. The quest to win it back starts at this very second. Watching City lift that trophy. We want it back and that sight is what motivates the charge to get it back.
No time to moan. No time to feel sorry for ourselves. Congratulate every City fan you know cos we know better than most, winning like that takes something special. They've set a high bar. It's our job to better it.
The song says United will never die, we have to live true to that and that includes the fans.
/pessimistvivaisdead
This would be the best thing ever.
None of them. Did the likes of Cabaye, Ba, Santon, Ben Arfa and Cisse join Newcastle expecting them to fight for the top four? Very much doubt it.
Last season we finished 6th, Failed to qualify for Europe and never won a trophy.
well, they didn't actually need all the time and the extra man didn't matter that much as qpr were just packing the box anyway.

That would really be rubbing salt into the wound.
You mean they are not going to sack him now?

Go here http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18017513
and click the video named 'The moment City won the title' it shows the exact moment the news filtered through to United that City had scored :lol :lol

Indeed my man.
Not really. I've already said that City are deserved winners.
Calling Sir Alex "whiskeynose" shows a lack of class.
And you should be able to interpret what he actually meant in his interview without having to say lol whiskeynose.
Just stating it how it is. Then again, even United was shit against Sunderland today. Rooney missing a sitter and such. A tense end to the league, but congrats to City and especially Aguero. The dude is just amaaaazing. Literally won the title for City.
Undefeated season. Grazie Ale <3
What a legend, I know he won't be at Juve next season, but is he retiring completely? I remember him saying he wanted to play until he was 40 - he's only 37 :O
How've their solo efforts been? I've not been paying attention.
Nasri: "I knew I made the right decision." :/

We need a gif of Nasri looking like a clown!
Wonder if Piers will be tweeting about him tonight?

What? Everton have clearly been the best team in Merseyside in the league this year. Get off your high horse and stop acting like an idiot.
The build up comment has obviously gone over your head so I'll just leave it at that.
Us losing the league is as good to them as winning it, still, you'd expect some sort of magnanimity considering the season they've had.

Haha Balotelli what the fuck
Doesn't matter a jot. They won fair and square.
Also, how condescending. "A team like QPR". Obviously with QPR only being towards the bottom of the league, they were going to just roll over.
You think we'll bring anyone of note it? Because we desperately need it. Podolski will ease the burden on RVP but we need a creative midfielder desperately.
Had it not been for poor goalkeeping from west Brom we would have lost today.

United fan are no that guy has a point City was leagues above QPR as a team and yet they still made it hard, in any event though its the end results that counts SO CONGRATULATIONS.
I avoided GAF for both halves and got Sky Go going on my phone and watched the United match. Pained me that we were wasting chance after chance before Barton's sending off (which he needs to fucking retire for, the gimp. Should be classified as assault). And then Mackie scored and eventually Dzeko. And then we won, so I switched channels. Takes a while to buffer on a 3G network.
Eventually it did and I see Aguero celebrating and my heart fucking dropped. I'm devastated, absolutely gutted. I know people have been laughing at City and United in here and fair play, I understand why, so I'll take the hate in good humour. But I feel sick; I finished work and was walking out as I changed channel and I just stopped dead in the street. Devastated.
It has to be said though, it's no less than City deserve. It would have been hilarious if they bottled it but they showed character and they took advantage of the stupid position we put ourselves in. To dc, Meier, Fur, and our dearly departed Kermit, I congratulate you humbly. Brilliant effort, with an end that you rightly should celebrate forever.
As for us, we went out there and did the job we were supposed to do today. Giggs and Evra were great, we could have scored 10 (oh goal difference how I hate thee) but we were great. Hopefully we buy where we need to and come back strong, because we will. A whole season without our equivalent to Kompany and we've lost the title in the last minute. It's horrible, but it's also testament to our belief.
Thanks guys.

Nasri is such a cunt.

I will definitely be watching MOTD tonight
Hang on, we got to two cup finals, won one trophy, and got into Europe. No, I'm not going to pretend it was an amazing season - it wasn't. But how does Everton finishing 7th with no trophies or Europe top that?

I see but pretty stupid if they do. To be honest, I never wanted American owners to buy the club. I hope they sell it off in a couple of years when it doesn't bring them the profit they are looking for.

Hasn't revealed his plans yet, but is probably headed to the MLS with Nesta.
Well, congrats to him then. He was pretty important in City's later games.
cisse already said his dream would be to move to real madrid :O
