This is what dreams are made of. When Chelski turned Shaun Wright Philips head a few years back (our best player at that time) and signed him, it seemed curtains that City would ever challenge for the big prize again.
The best teams in PL have been the biggest spenders, which spoiled the competition. Sheikh Mansour has made the impossible possible for us Blues. Roy of the Rovers stuff
We have always known that we are the best team in all the land, even when we was in the third tier. We have just had it rubber stamped and made it official.
Just a reminder to the Utd fans that have always thought supporting success and taking the Mick out of true loyal fans, a great classic song from OT:

This is how it feels to be City....
This is how it feels to be small....
This is how it feels when your club wins nothing at all.....

Altogether now.....

Unlucky Bolton. Rather have Bolton stay up than QPR.

We've got a 50/50 house tonight. My partner is a City fan and when I used to watch fuzzball, Bolton were my team. Not just gutted for Bolton but for the North West. Just glad that Wigan stayed up as it would have been disastrous for the area. Having said that we may have got a few more through the gates.

Man City have won the league title for the 1st time in 44 years, whilst United have won it 12 times in the last 20 years !

Shame about Bolton, I know most of their fans HATE Man United because of all the trophies that they win, but I would have liked them to stay up. QPR have quite a lot of money also, and it's pathetic that they only stayed up because Bolton drew.

Bolton were relegated on points gained over 38 games not just the last one.

Sadly, you're exactly right. Not exactly a shock given how poorly we've played for the vast majority of the season, but gutting all the same.

I know, but they are MASSIVELY in debt, and it's a disaster for them.
Like all clubs, they need a Sheikh Mansour

Yeah - but one is 'Current Affairs', and the other is 'History'!!........if you're gonna bang on about what they did in the past, it'll sound like the Scousers banging on about 4 European Cups in 7 seasons, and all their titles!!


Bit naughty of the 'Noisy Neighbours' to win it with two goals in 'Taggert Time'.....it makes it look like rubbing his nose in it!!!

Pity about my home town team, but they've been dire most of the season - and it's not like they've not had the chance to make themselves safe in the last couple of weeks - yet managed to pluck defeat from the jaws of victory!! Can't see them bouncing straight back either!......as half the squad were out of contract at the end of the season anyway (and the reported financial worries), maybe a 'period of re-adjustment' in the Championship might be a blessing in the long run.

Time for Leigh to approach Bolton, and look at joint ticketing initiatives maybe??

Ah, another Bolton fan who hates Man U for what reason ? Do you hate Man City, no because they hardly ever win trophies.
I'm sad Bolton have got relegated, but as for you, I'm absolutely delighted.....you'll probably go bust soon !!
(YOU NEED AN OIL BARON LIKE JR EWING !!!)
I am actually a Hartleppol United fan loks like you'll be in our league in 2013/14 (unless we get relegated)

They will probably get J R Hartley.

We've already got one, he's called Eddie Davies and he is the one who is owed the vast, vast majority of the debt and is extremely unlikely to 'call it in' at any point. Plenty of restructuring will take place and I doubt we'll bounce back straight away, but realistically our natural level is always likely to be a 'yo yo club', it's just the current trend for money men is distorting things a little (and even then it very nearly didn't save QPR).

aye Matt, unfortunately the PREMIER league is all about MONEY, and that includes Man U.

As a man united fan i would like to congratulate man city on winning the title, but i would also like to mention that all those who hate man united and there is an awful lot of them out there,that when it's the european championships, and let's say rooney scores in the last couple of minutes in a decider to get in the next round, everybody in the whole country will be celebrating.

Being a lapsed Trotter fan I am a bit sad but when I heard Gartsides comment on GMR the other week when he refered to some Trotter fans as "muppets", then he has got his just desserts.

Agreed. As much as it pains me to say it, Everton produced a good un there...
