This is surreal. City winning the title. Whoa. It's like I'm playing Manage Mode in FIFA

[cb4_89]

That was so epic.

[Ill]

I'm still in shock. Just incredible.

wonder how much city is going to spend this summer on transfers... other clubs are going to have to buy to keep up

[Sedale Threatt]

Gotta say, watching it again, if I'm United or their fans I wouldn't be impressed with that last couple of minutes from QPR, heroic as 10 of them were for the first 92 - after the equalizing goal they just gave the ball back to Joe Hart and invited City back onto them (when you'd think they would try and keep the ball), and after the third goal they just hoofed it out of play and waited for the final whistle to go.

It's a miracle QPR was even in it in the first place.

when stoke sealed the deal at bolton looked like qpr just gave up and then they celebrated with city players... lol

Cisse celebrated full on with them.

Oh, no doubt at all, they were immense for the first 92 minutes (Barton obviously aside). It just seemed odd that instead of trying to keep the ball for the last two and a half minutes after conceding an equalizer, they would give the it straight to City and then go and set up camp inside their own 18 yard box again, inviting City to have another go. What QPR did in stoppage time today made me think of a boxer just dropping his guard and inviting his opponent to throw his best punch.

Over the 38 games, there's no doubt City were the deserving winners (it should have been more clear-cut than just goal difference, tbh), but for United and their fans to have one hand on the trophy, however improbable or undeserving, and see QPR capitulate like that must be tough to take.

I hope he stays with them. Adding Podolski (depending on which version of Podolski comes to England), potentially M'Vila and a returning and healthy Wilshere should result in huge strides forward for Arsenal next year. That said, the "whatever happens" part of the quote almost sounds like a preemptive apology, like he's laying the foundations for a departure.

Is there video anywhere of United's celebration? I gotta see this.

Same. I just saw a quick vid of Fergie finding out it was 3-2 and **** his pants. I want to see the whole thing.

The only bad thing about survival sunday is that all the games are at the same time. The Arsenal game doesn't come on for me until 10am...and the idiot commentators already ruined the result for me during the City game. They need to show the relevant games live (like Arsenal playing for a CL spot) and the non-relevant ones (like Liverpool vs. Swansea and Chelsea reserve squad vs. Blackburn playing for pride) on a delay. Stupid fox soccer. Games aren't any fun when you already know what happens.

[suckfish]

Perfect. We'll probably never see a finish like that again. To come from behind with two last minute goals to put crosstown rivals United to bed. Unbelievable.

[Celtics_Champs]

Still in disbelief, but joyful disbelief. I can't believe it shook out like that. Could be one of the greater finishes I've seen in many sports. When's FOX Soccer playing it again? Or even better question, why didn't I tape that!?!

espn3.com has it on replay.

More gutted about Bolton going down and QPR staying up. But congrats to City, fully deserve it, insane last minutes to win it, had to be Aguero to score and Mario to assist

[kdawg32086]

Now the big question...which Bolton, Blackburn, and Wolves players are going to be targeted by big clubs?

[treiz]

Bolton:
None of their players are really top 8 worthy, maybe Holden but that's really pushing it. Most of their players are suited for mid to low table EPL teams

Blackburn:
David Hoilett (Really hope Chelsea at least entertain an offer, need some right wingers)
Yakubu (maybe, but none of the big clubs are in need of a striker)
Scott Dann (Can imagine Newcastle going after him, even Liverpool or Tottenham)
Paul Robinson (Too good to be in the Championship, I think Spurs bring him back)
Grant Hanley (Purely based on potential)

Wolves:
Jarvis (I can see Liverpool or Spurs since they need those wing depth)
Steven Fletcher (Perhaps Newcastle if one of Ba or Cisse leave)

[5DOM]

Add Lee from Bolton and one of the Olsson twins from Blackburn.
