City snatch the title in stoppage time just as manu fans were celebrating! I am a neutral so no loyalty to City but winning the league has bagged me £18 that I had almost forgotten about.

Over the season the best team won

That was an amazing 45 mins.
The look on Fegie's face as news came in of the last minute man city goal was priceless!!

Joey Barton's a though

Priceless

Its got to be a bitter pill to swallow that City have done what United are superb at doing...scoring in the dying seconds

Get in there City!!!

I think Utd lost it when they played the top team in Merseyside at Old Trafford three weeks ago, letting a 3-1 lead slip proved costly

hmmm....top team hey.... you've got me there (this season )

There's a smugness thinking that 16 teams were happy today with the result today

I expect Joey Barton will be sacked by Rangers.....but he may get a contract back at City now...  John

i stumbled across the ending on match of the day last night

Looked to be a good ending, the city fans were ecstatic and the man utd fans were nibbling their finger nails

time to move on its only football

Joey Barton is a complete

If a player can get an 8 week ban for calling people nasty names, what would be the prudent punishment for Barton?
He reminds me of Denis Unwise. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

The "prudent punishment" would be to forget that the incident happened on a football field. It was the action of a thug and should be prosecuted as actual bodily harm through the route that "ordinary" people would be prosecuted - the criminal court. Anyone in "normal" employment found committing such an act whilst at work would be sacked for gross misconduct. Why do we have separate rules for footballers (sorry, nearly said sportsmen then - professional football hasn't been sport for ages).

As for an eight match ban for name calling, compared to the usual three match ban for violent conduct, it's political correctness gone mad. Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto

Compared to other sports, the "sport" of football has a lot to learn about disciplined behaviour, personal integrity (witness the pitiful diving & pretence) and sportsmanship ...

Be true to yourself. That way happiness lies...

The cure has to come from the top - FA should immediately back referees to stamp out diving, swearing (particularly at refs), all violent behaviour and unsportsmanlike conduct. It wouldn't take many red cards to get the message across, particularly if shown to high profile players in big-money clubs. Just look at how strictly the rules are interpreted in golf - and yet the players there are first to call "foul" on themselves. Imagine any footballer doing that  Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto

Lawrence Dallaglio once said that the Rugby guys labelled the Premiership as The Andrex Premiership because it's soft and unnecessarily expensive

Dallaglio would make mincemeat of Barton in a confrontation. How cool would that be  LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby
