    The agony, the ecstacy, the drama. An entire season wrapped into 90 minutes.

    Congratulations to Man City. What a way to come back and claim the title!

    Yep. It's like Gandalf's speech in LOTR - we love it and hate it all at once, but we'd be lost without it <ok>

    Well done to City. What's quite worrying is that they showed a similar never say die mentality to us. That's the one thing Chelsea and Arsenal never managed to develop, and the biggest reason they couldn't compete with us over the long term. Could be ominous for the future if they can keep that mentality next season...

    They showed the same spirit and resolve when they were 1-3 down at home to Sunderland a few weeks ago.

    I'm sure they'll be a few players in and out in the summer so next season will shape up differently but but they have certainly been a worthy adversary all season long.

    At moments like these I have no idea if I love it, or hate it.

    Football, bloody hell.

    Unlucky to you lot, would have loved to have been the only team to beat City at the Etihad. So many twists and turns it was unreal.

    Congratulations to City. The best team always wins over 38 games and it wasn't us this time. We can say we played our part in one of footballs best battles and we'll be back to have another go next season

    Everybody wrote you off completely and you had a much better effort than We or indeed most of the league did (other than Sunderland who also concedes two late goals) so you can be proud of your effort. Congrats on staying up.

    Yeah I mean if we had that never say die attitude, we could have made it to the Champions League final.

    Well put. At this moment I hate football, but come next season I'll be in love again.

    Well done City... and well done US for running them to the very last minutes of the season...!

    Bloody hell Swarbs. I thought you had just typed Gaddafi's speech there in the LOTR! I was wondering what Directors cut that was. <laugh>
