Unbelievable finish , 2 goals to Man City in the last 5 minutes . Unbelievable .

Unbelievable to see the response from the City fans.

92 minutes gone they were nearly universally heartbroken. Within minutes they'd be experiencing the greatest high of their sports-supporting life. Unreal.

 

Reminded me of the 1979 FA Cup final when Arsenal beat Man Utd 3-2 . That was when the FA Cup final was big .

Congratulations to Man City .

Long suffering City supporter. Still buzzing. Incredible end to an incredible season. Sergio - what a star. Barton - what a [censored].


Quite possibly one of the greatest nights of sporting theatre, nerves, adrenalin and astonishment I've ever sat through.

Like 45HG I was watching the Spurs game, witnessing the roller coaster of emotions of the crowd as West Brom fell behind and then snatched the lead. The rumour going around White Hart Lane that West Brom has scored a third (witness crowd members holding up three fingers in hope) got my heart racing. Alas once the equaliser came there was only ever going to be one winner sadly. The deflation the crowd when the Gunners scored was palpable. After 80 minutes I abandonded our hopes for third and was madly flicking between the two Manc games and the West Brom-Arsenal game.

That last five or ten minutes were a blur. I also had the espn twitter feeds going on my PC to see what the other games were doing. Unbelievable scenes when Citys third went in, an even better sight was Ferguson getting the news of it, and ushering his confused players off the pitch.

There were so many mad things going on. Tim Cahill red carded after the final whistle as the Toffees smash Newcastle and finish above their Merseyside rivals for the first time in a long time.

Joey Bartons red mist moment. This mindless thug deserves 20+ weeks for all his repeated indiscretions.

Cisse from QPR hugging one of the Man City players in jubilation after the whistle as the players ran off to avoid the catatonic fans.

Truly a memorable night.

what a great season, the two at the top, the four who were playing off for a place in CL and of course the relegation battle for the real fans. This league is so good to watch and for good reasons.

Cant wait for the transfer window to kick off to see my Chelsea boys spend up big (only way to stay competitive now)

That was Nasri he was hugging, a fellow French international. They also played together at Marseille.

One guy I did feel for was Shauny Wright-Phillips who is City through and through and contributed to this success that the team is now seeing. I'm sure he would've been able to share in some of the celebrations behind closed doors. I hope he was able to.

 

Hammers are back in the EPL ! The mighty West Ham United beat Blackpool 2-1 in an absolute nail biter . At least there's one 'claret and blue' team that are back in business ! Fingers crossed on the other team .

Blow those bubbles !


Sickening end to the season but congrats to City. Dont buy their domanance though considering they equalled points when United have no midfield and serious injuries all the way through the season

CL final was even more sickening and feel really bad for Spurs

I reckon Next season will be determined by how clubs spend this summer. Looking forward to euros though

West Ham have got rid of ex-England goal keeper, Rob Green.

I don't think they'll miss him.

Not too many clean sheets!!! But I know defence is up to the team as a whole.

Calamities do occur when he!s in action!

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
    Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
