Would you have won the league if it wasn't for Tevez coming back?

I agree with Wandy though, money won City the league, but it's not the money, as you said every team buys players from all over the world, but the difference is that most teams earn their money, City were given it.

EDIT: No shit though, I feel happy for the real City supporters, the ones who actually were fans of the team well before they became decent.

its not like many of these teams are playing with players from there areas though, so most of the time it does come down to money and management. but tbh mancinni is a muppet should never of let tevez come back after that shit he pulled

Dunno what you're talking about at the start there man.

absolutuly but its pretty hard to earn that money if your lacking the players to be competitive to begin with. its crazy the amount of money that has been poored into city and even chelsea to some extent. im not actually a city supporter, jus won a buch of money on them in a pool we had going at work, what a way to finish the season man that was crazy

City still rarely sell out their own stadium.

I thought Ferg was gracious in defeat today.That is not something that can be said about him often.

Huh, I was just reading in the Dom Post that he said "City can go on as much as they like. It'll take them a century to get to our level of history"

Didn't sound too gracious, but I didn't hear the whole interview.

WD City (cnuts) and as Spork has pointed out it must be  a great feeling for the long time fans

I don't think Kenny had been given long enough really but finishing below Everton is not acceptable and his departure was inevitable. Rafa gets my vote :)

In other news... I had to LOL at this

Congrats Bayern on throwing away the CL final.

Good work Chelsea for capitalising on such an occurrence.

Chelsea deserved it...90mins and extra time of pure defence and Drogbas goal was awesome.

It really was a Goalkeeper v Goalkeeper game. Neuer and Cech were both amazing.

All I can say is Blue is the colour and Man U & Arsenal supporters are sooks.

Not bad for a bunch of old buggers eh.




Amazing stuff against all the odds.

Greatest day in the clubs history and to top it off I watched with the old man who is a die hard Spurs supporter

But what the fuck is wrong with John Terry? Honestly. What a massive weapon.

I know, blaming Chelsea for their own failings......how many games did they lose when Harry was first hinted as being the next England manager?

All of them wasn't it?



So...anyone actually want the Liverpool job yet?   No thought not...

Eden Hazard in the bag then, Chelsea clearly kacking their pants about the FIFA fair play regulations 5 years £200,000 a week.

I wondered why the fuck we hung on to Malouda, now I know He's the the only one left who speaks French.


In other news, Walcott to Chelsea??
