So near yet ..........
Never mind lads, after all winning is not everything, but losing is nothing.
I believe it's the first time in 17 years since Manky U have failed to even win a cup.
Still next years replica strip for all you plastic Manc's will be Blue and sponsored by Etihad.

Re: So near yet ..........
The best bit was that City won the title in Fergie Time too, you couldn't make it up, all those plastics thinking they scooped another title then it was dragged out of their grasp and there was nothing old Red Nose could do about it, no use looking at his watch

Re: So near yet ..........
Being a City fan, i thought i was going to need paramedics by the end.
I'm sure they will be the death of me.

Congrats and well done making this an exciting end of season.. United and City finished 19 points ahead of the 3rd place team.. your home form won it (and the 6 points you nabbed off us)

Re: So near yet ..........
Anybody see the antics of that nut job Joey Barton, he's definitely not wired up right, will be lucky if he plays before Christmas next season, and even more lucky if Hughesy doesn't sack him, he's a liability

Re: So near yet ..........
So now the dust has settled & it's all over bar the bitchin' & finger pointing, Manky U with nothing ? Most unusual, is this the start of a slow decline from the glory days of O.T. ?
I mean, ours was a poor season but at least we had 2 goes at stuff, but because of or recurring ineptitude we only got the one trophy. Think next season could be quite interesting.

Re: So near yet ..........
As a complete neutral, I'm not too concerned about bitching between the two sets of supporters.
What I would say is that it was without doubt one of the most amazing pieces of football theatre I've ever seen.
Unforgettable!

Re: So near yet ..........
Interestingly, if City had won the Old Trafford derby by just 1 - 0 United would have won the league.

Re: So near yet ..........
United still have a trophy to play for - they have the final of the Lancashire Cup against the mighty Stanley to have a go at & after finishing the season with no other silverware, who knows what team they might put out to make sure they win something - could be an interesting game

Re: So near yet ..........
Since when was Manchester part of Lancashire? I was under the impression it was in Greater Manchester. Typical Manc's...
